Lily searched the castle for Sakura.
Lucrecia slowly fell asleep, still thinking of Ryo.
Lucrecia sighed as she thought about what her father told her. I don't know if I can do this....I feel like I'm falling in love with Ryo, but dad wants me to kill him......I want to make my father proud of me, but what if I get attached to Ryo? she thought as she laid back on the bed.
Lucrecia sat in her room back home, thinking about Ryo.
"You say that now, but you may develop feelings for her and end up marrying her for love, not out of obligation." Lily said before she walked inside.
"It's up to you when you want to marry her, Ryo."
"I'm glad you think so."
Lily walked up to Ryo. "So what do you think of her, son?"
"Yes, father......" Lucrecia said, sighing.
"It was alright. I'm glad I got to know my future husband a little."
Lucrecia sighed. "Ok, father." She said before looking at Ryo. "I'll see you again soon."
Lucrecia quickly got up and threw on her royal gown. "Hello, father."
"Sakura is upset that Ryo won't play with her. I think she's still too young to understand why." Lucrecia kissed Ryo's cheek. "Liven up, you're like a walking corpse."
"Because I feel like it, that's why. I feel like I'm falling in love with you." "I know. It's not easy to go back to the way you were before, but maybe this fiance of his can help him."
"I do. He seemed so full of life. He's like a zombie these days." "I'm holding on to you, obviously."
Lucrecia laid next to Ryo and put her arms around him. "Yeah, maybe. I doubt it though."
"That's pretty interesting." Yuko said as she closed her book. "I figured he was too busy training to even look."
"No, what news is there?"
Lucrecia sat down next to Ryo. "I think I'll enjoy having you as a husband. I can be myself around you."
Lucrecia continued to watch Ryo train, smiling as she did so. "Hello." Yuko said before turning her attention back to her book.
