Becoming the Prince's wife? Hell NAH!!!!
It was a bright sunny day. The sun was shining, the birds singing. It was, all around, a good day. Nothing could ever disrupt such a great da--
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN I WILL MARRY THE PRINCE!!!!!!????” or it was supposed to be a great day until a girl’s scream cut in the peaceful atmosphere…
You must be wondering what caused someone to shout in such a manner, well let me explain. So to make it simple, apparently someone was gonna get married. That’s it.

Sorry for that, I do not know how to write this properly so let me redo it.
As you the readers may have gathered this far, someone was going to be (or is it get) married. Who was this person you may ask, it is none other than Hanagaki Takemichi, the lone daughter of the Hanagaki household. Yes, daughter, as in a girl. In here Takemichi was born a girl because even though in most universe Hanagaki Takemichi was born a boy, in this one, because of some unknown power the author, he was a she and that will remain as such unless some kind of magical fruit that can change one’s gender suddenly appears most likely not coz I’m not airplane with all his unending ideas of weird fruits to create some ridiculous wife plot
Anyway! Takemichi was getting married!
Or not really, in fact, let me stop the slight breaking of the fourth wall and let’s get back to the story!

“Please calm down and don’t shout. It’s not like you’re getting married right this second Takemichi” a handsome blond haired, blue eyed man said calmly while sipping his tea. The man was the epitome of handsomeness. He could make even a nun and/or priest sin with just one smirk. This man was Duke Hanagaki Claude just imagine Claude de Alger Obelia from Who Made Me a Princess, he was the head of the Hanagaki house and was known as one of the most ruthless man when it came to things like the political field or in battle.
“Can you really blame her, you just dropped something like that on her when we are supposed to have a relaxing afternoon tea in the garden” calmly answered a boy who has natural black with yellow streaks hair that is styled in a wolf cut, mesmerizing sandy colored eyes and a beauty mark under the right side of those same enchanting jewels. This was Hanagaki Kazutora, Takemichi’s older brother (he was actually her older cousin but Claude adopted him when he learned what was going on in Tora’s previous family that part of the story will come at a later time, maybe)
“Well, I thought I chose the right time to announce it.”
“I beg to differ! Father, what do you mean I am getting married??? And to the PRINCE at that!”
Takemichi looked on the verge of tears, it was obvious the news was distressing her and that finally clued the Duke in that something is wrong.
“What really upset you, Takemichi? I am pretty sure becoming a princess is what girls dream of” and this, people, is why you need to learn how to read someone’s mood especially when it comes to women because really what did Claude think would be Michi’s reaction with the news? Screaming out of joy? while she did scream so he was partially correct I guess
Anyway, back to the narration!
“Where should I start?” deadpanned Takemichi. “Well for one, the prince is a real sadist!” she continued before any of her family members could answer her. “He always looked like he took joy in people’s suffering!” well you did say he was a sadist so that’s a given me thinks
“Well, it's true. The Prince isn’t really the most altruistic person out there” agreed Claude
“See! Even you agree with it!” exclaimed the unfortunate girl who may or may not end up marrying the prince later on in this story.
Claude couldn’t help but counteract with “But he is only a boy and still has some growing up to do. So he will mature in the future.” Or I hope he will.Also the royal family was never known for being in the right state of mind, bunch of incest enjoyer.
“So??? He is 15!!! He is old enough to know right from wrong! How can he be a good king one day if he doesn’t even care about his subject?” Takemichi trailed off before she continued in a whisper “And he scares me”
This immediately put Claude into alert mode “What do you mean he scares you? Did he do something to you?”
“He didn’t do anything to me specifically but…” she trailed off
“But?”
“The last time I saw him, his eyes…his eyes were so dark. He was smiling but his eyes held no emotion. He looked as if he couldn’t care less about anyone around him…” Takemichi answered while biting her lips hard enough to draw blood. “The Prince looked at everyone around him like one looked at trash. He makes me uncomfortable.”
With that, each person fell silent and a tension rose in the garden. What Takemichi said about the prince was indeed true. The prince, Kisaki Tetta, was, in short, a manipulative bitch, regardless of his age. It was rumored that he orchestrated a family’s downfall because the eldest son of said family refused to do something the prince asked of him. That supposedly led to the loss of everything they had including their own life. This happened when Kisaki Tetta was only 10 years old.
That kid does need some type of therapy Claude thought while taking a sip from his cup. Truthfully I don’t want Takemichi to marry that brat but I don’t have too much say on it…for now.
“W--what’s wrong dad? You’re suddenly frowning really hard” Kazutora was curious and nervous about why his dad was scowling darkly all of a sudden.
“Takemichi”
“Yes?”
“While I understand why you do not like this situation, it’s unfortunately non-negotiable”
“What do you mean by that Dad?”
“The King himself wishes for our family to be once again united.” Continued Claude “This marriage proposal is a way to reinforce the alliance between our families and as such I can’t refuse it without a good reason.”
“Is it really impossible?”
“For now, it is”
“…” He said for now, that means I could get out of it in the future. The Prince is in love with someone else, he will only see me as a burden and when we marry he will make my life miserable because he couldn’t get the one he really loves, after all a royal can’t marry a mere commoner. But all of that will just lead to my early death! I need to be careful so I can get out of this situation alive…!
“Dad, I need to tell you the truth. I--”
