Aria's pov
I looked at the full moon as i sighed,
Admiring it.i leaned to my palm as i
Continued to stare at the beautiful,
Bright full moon.i then felt a pair
Of footsteps heading towards me
And stood behind me.
I then felt a pair of large,muscular
Arms wrapped around me and i
Giggled. "Good evening,love.did i
Bother you?" I asked as i glanced
Behind me to see my darling,yoriichi.
He nuzzled at the crook of my neck
"Of course not.i just felt that you
Weren't in bed,just to see you here
Staring at the moon." I hummed
"I see..i'll be back in bed don't worry."
He nodded as he continued to
Embrace me from behind.
He then plays with a long strand of
My hair and i chuckled.he smiled,
"Just four more weeks y'know?"
I nodded "i know,dear.i didn't forget."
Yoriichi's smile widen,geez..this man
Rarely smiles at everyone but will
Show many kinds of smile at me.
I chuckled once again,as i too,play
With his hair. "I can't wait..."
He whispered softly and i nuzzle
Back at his cheek. "Me too,love..me
Too."

*four weeks later..*
Aria's pov
I had a paper with lists,as sophie
Brushed my hair.the voilet haired
Maid looked at me, "is something
Wrong,your majesty?" I shook my
Head. "No,nothing's wrong.how's
Navier doing?" "She's at her room
Writing another letter." I nodded
"I see..." navier has been busy lately,
And she sometimes spends most of
Her time writting a letter to someone.
A penpal,maybe?that's interesting.
Navier has almost no interest on
Anybody else,i am now very curious
On who is this fellow causing an
Impact to my sister.i truly am
Wondering who,oh well,there's
Room for that later.
For now...i need to work on the
Preparations.i ordered sopihe to get
A jewelry merchant and a proffesional
Decoration maker.she nodded and
Left the room,i continued to look
At the list and sighed.i then heard a
Knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
"Sister,it's me.may i come in?"
"Yes,of course you may."
I saw navier,smiling and walking
Inside of my room. "Aria,i heard that
There will be a grand ball,yes?"
"Mhm..yes,indeed." "For whatever
Reason would it be?" I hummed
And gestured for her to come close.
As she was already leaning to me,
I whispered to her ear.
"...that's a secret.."
"Oh come on!" She pouted as she
Crossed her arms and i laughed. "You
Are such a tease,sister." My laughter
Died down as i looked at her, "my
Apologies,sister but i will reveal it
In the said day." She hummed,but just
As she was about to leave i asked her
One peculiar thing.
"So sister,may i ask why you had
Been so busy with a penpal lately?"
She stopped in her tracks and looked
At me.with pause,she sighed "well..
That would only be a business you
Shouldn't be interacting with,sister."
I was a little suprised by her answer,
But respected her decisions and nodded
In understatement.she left the room
And i set back the papers on the table.
"Just a few days.."
Just a few days 'till the ball will come.
And there is still a lot of time to
Prepare for the ball.
I grinned,slightly and heard the voice
Of sophie that both the merchant and
The decoration maker is here,making
My grin wider.
"Alright....bring them in."
◇◇◇◇◇
No one's pov
As the blonde woman criticised the
Appearance of the ball and how it
Should look,she fail to notice eyes
Looking at her with a glint.
The blonde beauty was too busy to
Noticed those pair of eyes,even if she
Did,she'll ignore them and will deal
With them later.for now,she needs to
Make the ball room perfect.
Looking at the gorgeous sparkling
Room,the floors were sparkling clean,
There wasn't a single peck of dust in
The room and the decorations looked
Spectacular!
She smiled proudly and complimented
The two men. "You two did a very
Exceptional job.good work" the two
Men blushed and bowed at her
Kindness,she rolled her eyes and
Told to run along and so they did.
Aria then looked at the final job of the
List and it was picking out the gowns
And writing the letters of invitation.
Also making sure if they are welcomed,
The blonde sighed in relief and finally
Headed to her room with the work
She's all done with.
A pair of eyes stared at her,and
Slowly,it had a smirk on it's face.
Running away,it headed back to it's
Room with a trail of giggle in her way.
~~~~~
Finally,the day has arrived!
A bunch of guests,normally nobles or
Kings/queens but with a small crowd of
Commoners.if you would expect the
Higher royals to feel disgusted,well no. Actually,they feel quite delighted to see
Some simple people in the ball having
Fun.
Sovieshu stared at the room in awe,
"Wow..aria did a number of the ball,
Huh?" He heard a small chuckle and
Glanced from his back to see navier
In a dark blue gown. "Indeed,did she?
I know she'll make the ball very
Pleasing to the eye but this is far
More than the balls she've done for."
Sovieshu nodded at navier's statement,
In agreedment.of course,the two had
A little chat but it was little akward for
The two but it worked out nicely.
A certain blonde man looked at
Navier and sovieshu in jealousy.
The figure gritted it's teeth and a
Chant of it's head that they will not
Give up.
A loud sound of trumpets errupted
From the stairs making all of the
Guests quiet and glance up.
And above their eyes,were the two
Rulers of the empire.
Yoriichi tsugikuni,and aria ellie
Tsugikuni(trovi).
The eyes were staring directly at the
Man and woman,as they were in awe
Of the appearance of both rulers.
The blonde woman was wearing a
Black/magenta mermaid gown,with
Dark pink highlights on the botttom of
The gown.it also had golden and
Jewelry accessories on it's sides.
(What aria is wearing)
While the emperor wears a similar
Suit to her,the color instead was
Lavender and dark purple.but it
Stilk looked equally matched with the
Empress' clothing.
(What yoriichi is wearing)
The red haired man's eyes scanned the
Bright room and glanced at his
Wife.the blonde looked up at him in
Return, "do you like it,my love?"
She asked and yoriichi hummed.
"No.instead.." he lifted her hand up
To his lips and kisses it,making the
Blonde blush but her smile remains.
"I love it."
The empress giggled, "that's good to
Know.now come,we need to greet our
Guests" yoriichi's blank face returns,
"Oh..right..." the woman chuckled,
And her arm was wrapped around
The red haired man's own.he let her
Be,as they both walked the way and
Headed towards there guests.
The nobles were giving them all
Sorts of compliments,like:
"Oh what a lovely couple you are!"
"My,aren't you two just adorable
With each other?"
"Are you two going to dance in the
Evening?"
"Great job on this wonderful ball,
You're highness!"
"Indeed,what can we expect from our
Empress!"
Aria was getting a little headache from
Them,but smiled nonetheless as she
Did appreciate the compliments
She recieved.yoriichi just stared at
Them blankly,but noticed the hungry
Eyes of men looking at his wife.
A red blush plastered half of the men
In the ball causing yoriichi to glare
At them,this may not cause a lot of
Trouble but that doesn't mean that
The males didn't noticed the
Intimidating glare that the man is
Giving them.
They all averted their eyes,one by one,
And this made yoriichi huffed and
Turned to his wife once again.
"Yes...thank you,i appreciate your
Kind words.they all flatter me."
Aria said and these made the noble
Ladies shook there heads. "Flatter?
It's the truth,you're highness!no
Woman will ever compare to you're
Beauty!absoloutely no one!" One
Countess said and aria chuckled.
"If you say so.but now,may i have
Time for myself?i am a little busy."
"Oh,of course!" The duchess said and
Aria bowed slightly,before walking
Away with her beloved.yoriichi looked
At behind to see the ladies waving
Enthusiasticly at the blonde.
"You gained more allies than usual."
He said and aria giggled, "they aren't
My allies,dear.just normal friends."
Yoriichi nodded "i see."
The two rulers then met up with
Navier,and all three of them headed
At an empty table with fresh wine
And appealing champagne,aria
Looked at the glass and glanced at
Her most important people.she
Chuckled at first,before taking a sip
Of her champagne.
Suddenly,a worried maid rushed her
Way to the three royals making aria
Looked at her with a raised brow.
"Kerria,is something wrong?"
The maid huffed,quite exhausted by
Running but glanced up at the
Blonde woman. "Yes!ra....rash..."
Aria told her maid to get her breath
In check first before talking.
"I apologize my empress..but rashta
Isn't in her room!" This made the
Three widened there eyes,especially
Aria's as she stared at the maid in
Disbelief. "Kerria..are you sure?"
The maid nodded, "yes i am sure,
Your majesty!"
Navier then looked at the stairs,
Making her eyes wider than before.
"Sister.."
"What is it navier?"
"I..i think you should look there."
Navier pointed up and aria followed
Where she pointed at,but as soon as
She did.she widened her eyes,far wider
Than before as she saw rashta.
Walking down,with a beautiful gown
Worn by her.rashta looked at all the
People with a smile,sovieshu and the
Others were shock to see the sick
Girl all recovered.
Meanwhile..aria,gritted her teeth as
She saw the silver haired girl smiling
At her with a smug look.
'That little bitch!'
