AN: I’m really surprised I got as many reviews as I did for the prologue. I didn’t think it was that good. Don’t expect a lot from this chapter. It’s mainly deals with Sakura’s memories.

Sakura was rudely awakened from her peaceful sleep. She could hear the gentle voice of her best friend trying to coax her out of dreamland.

Disappointed, Sakura sighed opening her eyes. She was having a wonderful dream. She forgot most of it. However, she could remember that she met someone loved her. Really loved her. Not just because she’s a princess.

She was snapped from her thoughts when her best friend gently shook her shoulder to get her attention. She looked out the door leading to her balcony. The sun was just barely up! She turned back to her friend. “Madison, why did you wake me up at the crack of dawn?!” Sakura exclaimed tiredly.

“Your father told me to wake you. A messenger from the enemy kingdom has arrived. He says he has something important to discuss with you,” Madison explained. Sakura nodded her head getting out of bed. “Did you already pick out an outfit?” Madison just nodded pointing a lovely white lying on the back of a chair. Matching pink and white shoes lay in front of the chair. “Want me to get your bath ready?”

Sakura nodded walking over to her dress. Madison disappeared into the bathroom. Sakura turned around to see Madison walk out of the bathroom. “Your bath awaits you my princess,” Madison said playfully. Sakura rolled her eyes at her friend. “Why do you always speak to me like that when we’re alone? You’re only required to speak to me formally when we have guests from another kingdom.” Sakura walked into the bathroom. “I know it annoys you, that’s why,” Madison said before she closed the door.

Sakura started undressing. She stepped into the large bathtub, sinking down into the warm water. She leaned back against the wall. Her chin was touching the water.

She couldn’t help but remember back to when she met Madison.

Thirteen-year-old Princess Sakura was looking through her closet for something appropriate to wear. She finally decided on a baby blue dress with a pair of shoes a shade darker than the dress. She was excited about dinner. A prince from a neighboring kingdom, Touya’s best friend, was invited to have dinner with them.

Everyone, including Julian, knew about Sakura’s crush on him. You would have to be blind not to notice.

Sakura hurried out of her room and down the hallway. She rounded a corner and ran into someone. She looked up into a pair of gentle eyes. She knew she must have been a new servant, because never saw her before. The girl looked to be around her age.

The girl looked at her. She saw the nice dress, and knew immediately that she was the princess. She helped Sakura apologizing. When Sakura was finally standing again, she realized that she was waiting to be dismissed “ You’re dismissed.” The girl curtsied and hurried down the hall.

Sakura started walking towards the dining room. She wasn’t very exited to see Julian anymore. She was too busy thinking about the servant girl. She noticed that she wasn’t panicking like other servants would have.

Sakura snapped back to the present when she walked into someone. She looked up at Julian staring at her. She blushed. “ I-I am sorry.”” It's ok Sakura. Why don’t we go eat?” Sakura nodded.

She didn’t talk much at dinner. Before she knew it she was walking back to her bedroom. She was shocked when she stepped through the door. There, standing in the middle of her room, was the girl she met earlier. “What are you doing here?” “I am your own personal servant,” the girl answered.

Sakura sighed. It didn’t take long to discover the girl’s name. She questioned Madison that day. She asked why she didn’t fear punishment. “You’re eyes,” she had said. “When I look into your eyes, I could see that you were kind. You don’t think you’re better than everyone that’s below your rank.” Sakura had never been happier. Sakura and Madison became best friends quick. Sakura even gave her bedroom right next to hers.

When Sakura talked to her father, she discovered he knew she would like Madison.

Sakura realized the water was getting cold. She quickly washed herself. After washing her hair, she stepped out of the bathtub to dry off. She quickly got dressed and stepped into her bedroom. She knew Madison was supposed to help her dress, but she preferred to do it alone.

Sakura saw Madison standing next to a little stool in front of a fancy mirror, brush in hand. Sakura walked over to her and sat down. Madison ran the brush through her friend’s shoulder length hair. It didn’t take long to finish. Sakura only liked wearing her hair down, letting it frame her face. It didn’t matter how she wore her hair. She always looks beautiful. She would put her up on certain occasions.

Sakura stood up and turned to her friend. “Are you coming with me?” “Of course,” Madison gently replied. She knew her friend was nervous. The only time the king ever wakes his son and daughter this early is when he tells bad news.

Sakura smiled thankfully at her friend. She left her bedroom and walked down the hallway, toward the throne room. Sakura stopped right outside the entrance and took a deep breath. Sakura walked in, Madison still following. The sound of her heels connecting with the marble floors echoed throughout the spacious room.

She finally reached the two thrones on the other side of the room. Her father sat on the larger throne, Touya standing at his right side. On Fujitaka’s left side sat a slightly smaller, more feminine looking throne, where her mother would be sitting if she were still alive.

Sakura looked at her brother. She could tell he was just as nervous as she. “Sakura, now that you’re here I can tell you the news,” Fujitaka said. She was becoming even more nervous as the seconds went by. Her father sounded nervous yet relieved. This was bad. The only time he ever sounded like that was when he tells them something that would be good for the kingdom, but at the same time would be bad news to them. Sakura gulped.

“Sakura, I know you’re not going to like this. Early this morning I received a message from our enemy kingdom. We’re going to travel to the kingdom right after breakfast.” “What did the message say?” asked Touya. Fujitaka sadly looked at his son. “King Alex wants Prince Mark to marry Sakura. If they marry there will be peace between our kingdoms. I am thinking about accepting.” Fujitaka quickly looked back at his daughter when he heard a thud and Madison’s scream.

AN: There you have it. I know that it’s really boring but I promise it will get better. Don’t forget to R&R!!!
