Thread: Arranged Happiness (Kira & Christian)

jyojiryo sword Hanba was shocked as he saw kyojiryo. Kyojiryo!! ah alani watch.... out Nanashi and hideyoshi where ready to attack before alani stopped the blade with hers. nanashi seemingly impressed with alani skills. hideyoshi was about to go forth when nanashi stopped him. hold hideyoshi we mustn't charge in foolishly i think you would only get in her way anyway. hideyoshi grib on his sowrd tigtened. but we cant let her die hanba was contemplating i think nanashi is half right we would only be burden to her at this point. Kyojiryo smiled ah seems the princess has some skill. well this will be fun as kyijiryo drew her sword. come on lets go as kyojiryo struck with her sword. swing and bending in very flexible ways a sthey fought. before jumping into the air and bringing her heavy blade down. takeing the veil off with the tip of her blade as she laughed oh she very pretty hanba much better then i thought. it was then hideyoshi hanba and nanashi both charged in. kyojiryo kicking hideyoshi into nanashi. kyojiryo only smiled cuaseing hanba to pause you ahve a lot to learn hanba dear. before running off and disappearing. hanba shook his head as he went to help alani to her feet. im dreadfully sorry are you alright my lady? he asked holding out his hand to help her up. hideyoshi Asked is she going to be ok? nanashi shoved hideyoshi off of him get off me you idiot. rising up nanashi went and looked out the broken window. Seems she gone... for now. he sighed what mess, i apologize as well. nanashi bowed.as he checked on his lord along with hideyoshi. Alani glared a bit behind her veil before hearing her and heard the woman before they started their fight her sword clashing against the others. She had been holding her own before the other jumped up the veil before cut from her face as she moved back The blade missing her skin by who knew how much as it drifted down with a couple of her blonde tresses. She shoved back before the woman turned booting hideyoshi into nanashi. Celeste took a moment while the other were down to throw a tip to the woman piercing her a moment before drawing the blade back while no one was looking. She turned as the other s rushed her princess. Alani sighed before looking up her flawless skin shimmered under the lights of the dining hall her bright eyes locking onto Hanba's before she smiled sweetly. I am fine thank you for the concern. She said before she sighed a bit . though now that the veil has been removed this is a bit different. she said before she pulled the head cover from her head letting her blonde hair fall out around her feathering around her face. As for the mess do not worry. She said before looking to Celeste who grinned a bit. Did you get her? She asked as Celeste nodded dropping the chain a bit form her wrist holding up the bloodied end. Yep she will be leading us right to her if we send some out now. No... Celeste paused. I will not risk my knights when she is clearly skilled. No we shall wait and bide our time she will have to return or follow his highness home that is when we shall strike. She said seemed mush more serious now before sighing and looking back to the other three. Please resume dinner we should be fine now. She said before sitting back down sheathing her sword almost like nothing had happened. a wise choice nanashi said she is or was one of our best swordsmen.nanashi said. hideyoshi had stood up by this time and said she also a psycho... no idea what got her so obsessed with our lord tho as he straightened himself up and adjusted his armor. hanba on the other hand couldnt take his eye off of alani and was speechless. my lord? hideyoshi asked before shaking his lord who seemed to come out of his daze are you alright? hideyoshi asked. im... fine. sorry i was staring how rude of me. hanba bowed in apology. before sitting back down and trying to resume dinner though he kept glancing at alani as he tried to focus on eating. finally he gave up and sighed kyojiryo messed everything up. hanba then looked at alani and said i do apologize for kyojiryo... she is loyal to a fault and that makes her inflexible. if we see her again i will take care of her. personally hanba then rose from his chair. my dear alani perhaps of your done maybe we can go for a stroll? he asked blushing a bit as he rarely is so bold. Alani blinked a little as she heard nanashi as Celeste moved whispering to a couple of guards who nodded one of the heading off to gather more men. I see then why would she attack a potential suitor seems foolish. She said before she seen Hanba being drawn out of his staring. It didn't take to much longer for her to finish her meal and head Hanba's request. She smiled a bit and nodded. My pleasure. She said before she stood form her seat dusting her dress from any stray crumbs. Celeste, hideyoshi, nanashi do enjoy your meals I am sure we are well guarded now. Please relax. She said before turning to Hanba. Well shall we, and as for the woman I wouldn't say do it alone who knows what she might try if she is actually not loyal to you at all. She said softly before she headed towards the doors. Where would you like to walk we have the halls, the garden, and then down the the villege if you wish for a longer walk. Hanba smiled i think the garden would be lovely as he finished his meal and stood brushing off crumbs and wiping his face before rising folding the napkin meticulously into a triangle setting on the table and bowed thanking them for the meal. Nanashi was about to speak as was hideyoshi but both decided to gave their lord some alone time with alani. do take care of him. hideyoshi bowed. hanba chuckled ill be back monkey. dont worry hanba and alani both made their way to the garden. as hideyoshi finished his meal but was understandably tense nanashi said hideyoshi go and see if the others are behaving themselves would you? Hideyoshi looked at nanashi, his cold stare giving him a hint. hai he said before bowing and went to check on his wife and the other guards. once hideyoshi was out of ear shot nanashi began so celeste i think you should understand why kyojiryo attacked your master. she and some believe we dont need alliances or anyone help. that we can conquer the world to bring all under one sword. i believe hanzaemon is the leader and pulling the strings of xenophobic group him and his aoto oni gang. kyojiryo idolizes our lord benevolence and sees it as a proof that we are better then anyone. but our lord has no ambition and walks a dangerous line of keeping a balance with both nature and his subjects ambitions. which brings me to a second issue we face while the aoto oni are a threat yes but our lord rules over two peoples one from a land far to the west. its people forced into ours. its leader titled a pope along with hundreds of thousands civilians and soldiers got shelter form hanba's ancestors a 600 years ago. i fear our lord faces many challenges in his rule and i fear the day one will utterly break or destroy him nanashi sighed realizing he was babbling. ah sorry... what i mean is kyojiryo isnt bad just i feel she is being manipulated because she cares for our lord. perhaps too much. nanashi chuckled as he stood. Well i shall go and check on the other as well. thank you for the meal. nanashi then turned to walk away.
