Selene burst through the door, fuming with rage. Channary jumped; she had never seen her daughter so angry before.

"How dare you betroth me to someone I don't even know without my consent!" Selene exclaimed, stomping up to her mother.

Channary smiled that big, innocent smile of hers that made Selene scowl. "Whatever do you mean, my dear?" Channary said.

"The marriage alliance you set up for Luna with Prince Kai and I!"

"Ohhhh, that. Well my dear, I didn't want to bother you with all the politics and whatnot, so I decided to take care of it all for you, and just let you enjoy your wedding." Channary said.

"Mother, this is marriage we're talking about! You can't just decide who I'm going to marry, and then expect me to be okay with it!" Selene said.

"Sweetie," Channary said, putting her hands on her daughter's shoulders. "I wouldn't betroth you to someone if I didn't think they were good enough for you. You know that, right?"

"That still doesn't make it okay!" Selene said, wriggling out of her mother's grip. "I'm sixteen, mother! I'm not ready for marriage yet!"

"You'll be turning seventeen in a few months."

"I don't care! I don't want to get married, and you can't make me!" And with that, Selene left the room.

Selene knew her mother meant well, but she was really infuriating at times. Selene wanted to see the world, and marriage would just tie her down. Plus, she didn't even know the Prince.

Selene got to her room and closed the door. Then she collapsed on the bed. After lying there for a few moments, her head began to swarm with questions about Prince Kai. What was he like? Was he nice? How old was he?

Selene lie there for a few more moments before couldn't take the questions anymore. She pulled out her portscreen from her purse, and searched "Prince Kai". It didn't take long for results to show up, and—

Oh, stars.

On the portscreen was a photo of the most handsome, most gorgeous man Selene had ever seen in her life. His skin was smooth, and he had black, shaggy hair that grew past his ears. And his eyes...

Even in the photo, Prince Kai's brown eyes looked like they were twinkling.

Selene instantly lost all will not to marry him. After staring at the photo for a while, she scrolled down to read the bio.

Crown Prince Kaito of the Eastern Commonwealth

Gender: Male

Born: April 7, 108 T.E.

Age: 18

Prince Kaito is the only son of Emperor Rikan of the Eastern Commonwealth. He is described as the town heartthrob, and is often seen at special events with the emperor. Like his father, the prince is known for having a kind heart and cares for the people of the Eastern Commonwealth. He has never been seen outside of the palace.

Selene had to have him. He was perfect for her. They would have a wonderful wedding, maybe they could convince their parents to let them go somewhere for their honeymoon (Selene smirks), have a couple of kids...

It was here that Selene realized that she was getting ahead of herself. She was sixteen, after all. Besides, it's not like that when they met they would instantly fall in love. Selene was old enough to know that love at first sight didn't exist. And the website could be lying. He could be a cruel, snobby, obnoxious jerk like the Lunar aristocrats. Unfortunately, Selene wouldn't know what he was like until she met him in a couple weeks.

She sighed. I wonder how the prince is taking the marriage alliance?
