Chapter 9

The room become silent, not a single sound could be heard, nether of the princesses was speaking. Toya was waiting for Tsuky's respond, while Tsuky couldn't believe her ears. Did she hear that correctly? .... Switch places??

How could Toya request something like that? Surly she knew that by doing so they would be greatly offending the Northern Empire. Did she truly think that Tsuky would actually accept her request ?

Not only did Toya think that Tsuky would accept, but she was sure of it. Her precious little sister had such a soft heart, she could never refuse a request from her. Especially when it was made in such a desperate way.

Toya was right, Tsuky really was a soft heart girl, especially when it comes to her family, but she wasn't l fool. She knew how to take care of herself, and she had done so for so many years now.

Tsuky took a deep breath, then calmly stood up from the bed, keeping her usual calm behaviour. Turning around to face Toya she said. " Toya you should know that what you are asking me is an unreasonable request. You know that is impossible." She spoke in a calm voice not showing a single emotion on her tone.

"It's not impossible!" Toya shouted while standing up. Her hands were on fire, it seems that her fire magic was out of control because of her anger. Then, as she noticed her powers getting out of control, she took a deep breath, calmed herself and sat on the bed again as if nothing happened.

" I'm sorry for my reaction" She apologized, noticing Tsuky's shocked face. She needed to calm down or else everything she worked so hard to achieve would be ruined. " Tsuky you don't seem to understand me. I..."

"Then tell me, what is it that l don't understand?" Tsuky asked, interrupting her.

"Tsuky you misunderstood me. l really don't want to marry his highness prince Yukio, but the reason is not what you are thinking"

"And what l'm thinking exactly?" Tsuky interfered again, wanting to see Toya get angry.

But Toya managed to keep her calm and responded to her. " You must think that l don't want to marry him because of the rumors, but that's not true. The reason why I don't want to marry him is because……l…love his highness prince Soren. We have been writing to each other for quite some time now, and we… We love each other." Toya's cheeks blushed as she said those words, and to hide her embarrassment she lowered her head.

Obviously she was lying. She had only seen price Soren a few times when he had attended the Dukes' birthday, and like all the other girls she had fallen for his good looks.

Right now, she was acting, and acting innocent and pitiful was her specialty, everyone believed her instantly wherever she did so.

Tsuky was no different, she was ready to bet her life on the fact that her sister was telling the truth. She was completely convinced that Toya was telling the truth when she thought of her dance with prince Soren. He had acted strangle and said some horrible things to her, but if Toya was telling the truth then his actions would make sense.

Still even if Toya was really telling the truth little did it matter in the current situation. Tsuky needed to think carefully before making a decision on this mater. The thing wasn't simple, it needed to be thought through, but right now she was too tired to think about it.
