Quatre made his way stealthily through the garden. He had done this enough to remember the route by heart. "Turn right, a hole under the fence, right side of the swan castle." The Umbreon repeated the instruction out of habit. At the end of the road, his love of the live already waited. The princess of the swan castle, daughter of one of the closest lords to the shogunate, Quatre's lord and master. "Efii-Hime" Quatre called out, as he pulled the Espeon to a tight embrace. "I came as fast as I could." Efii shed a single tear. She missed this so much, to be held by the arms of the man she loves so much. "I am sorry for calling so suddenly." "For you, I will even cross the sea of flames, Efii-hime." Quatre released his embrace, and wiped the tear from his beloved face, "Pray tell, what happened? What caused you so much grief?" Efii sniffed. The news she carried feels so heavy, "I hate to bear such bad news. But... the lord of the land of waves seek my hand in marriage. And my father agreed to it, as that would strengthen the bond between the two lands." Calling the news shocking was an understatement. Like any young man in love, the news of his beoved being engaged with someone else would always be shocking. But then again, he knew his place. He is a mere samurai, and his beloved is a princess. Their love is never meant to be. Efii sensed it, she knew of Quatre's turmoil. She put her paw on Quatre's face and kissed him, "Remember when I pledged that you will be the father of my children? That feeling still didn't change, Quatre." "Efii-Hime..." Quatre feel ashamed of himself. Surely this news hit Efii quite hard too. And she was able to handle it better than him. "I, I'll try to do something. Lord Vaporeon of the waves is a very reasonable man. Maybe if I told him and my lord about..." Efii cut his lover's words, "Stop, Quatre. You know what will happen if our affair came to light. You will be beheaded. And that's the last thing i want to see." "Efii-hime... is there anything i can do? anything?!" Quatre gripped Efii's paws. "I don't know, Quatre. I don't know..." |
