Chapter 1

A black carriage rode on the hard ground into the open. Pulled by four beautiful black stallions and a coachman dressed in fine clothes sitting in the front of the carriage. The view was as lovely as ever. Grand mountains touching the heavens, their tips covered in snow. The beautiful, outstretched meadows and fields shining and blowing in the soft breeze.

Workers working in the field, farmers harvesting their crop, shepherd boys tending to the sheeps and goats and cattle herders on their horses letting their animals feed of the good grass that grew and drink of the beautiful small river.

Drayne, that's what this land was called and it was a beautiful and rather peaceful land, as it had not seen any war for over a hundred years. But then again the royal family Kinomiya was a rather peaceful family and they dested war more than anything else.

Currently the kingdom of Drayne was ruled by King Bruce, a nice man in his fourties, almost fifties but no Queen, for she had died many years ago after the birth of her second son. She had been a beautiful woman and loved by all.

But the young man sitting in the carriage could care less about the deceased Queen at the moment, for he was riding towards his doom. His beautiful ruby red eyes staring outside the carriage towards the landscape but could not really see it as he was lost in thoughts. He ran a hand through his dual coloured hair, greyblue at the front and black at the back, being careful not to move the small tiara on his head, before putting a strand of hair behind his ear elegantly.

He put his hands back in his lap and letting them rest there. He was wearing a lovely navy blue dress with long sleeves and a split in the front so one could see the slightly lighter shade of the pants. This was the clothing worn by mena's or rather submissive males. It showed their feminine side but also a bit of their manly side.

The elder man sitting next to him looked at him through piercing and cold grey eyes. 'Kai,' the man began. The young man looked at him. 'When we arrive at the palace I expect you to wipe that doom look of off your face. I will not have you embarass me in front of the king. You will marry the prince and you will like it.'the man said, glaring at the young man.

Kai sighed and nodded, 'Yes, grandfather.' And did what he was told, he just put up a blank face, not showing his emotions and Voltaire nodded curtly before looking back outside.

The prince ... Kai had not seen him in years, the last time he met him the young boy had not left a good impression on Kai. He was immature, selfish and loud. Kai knew already, marrying prince Tyson would not benefit him only his grandfather. Voltaire had always wanted power and for generations all Hiwatari's had married above their rank, but Kai was the first one to marry a prince. And marrying a prince means even more power and that is what Voltaire wanted, he did not care for Kai's happiness only his own.

But it had been like this his whole life, he had been trained as a child to become the perfect wife someday and produce heirs. Yes he could produce heirs but the details of how birthing went should better be left for now.

If he had his way, Kai would wait years before letting the prince in his bed and preferably never, but unfortunately the law stated that the marriage needs to be consumated the night after the actually wedding. So he could not do anything about it.

Kai gagged inwardly as he thought about that swine touching him, he just hoped the boy had matured over the years, even if he was a year younger, but Kai had a feeling it would not be that way.

The carriage ride lasted for another hour before they arrived at the palace of the Kinomiya family. It was enormous and majestical looking. With high towers and light stones. Guards and soldiers were watching everything like a hawk walking on the high walls that surrounded the palace.

The coachman drove up unto the grand doors of the palace. A lackey, wearing a darkgreen and white uniform, opened the door of the carriage to let Voltaire out and then the lackey extended his hand for Kai. The young mena took it and the lackey led him out of the carriage. Before closing the door and signaling the coachman he could go and going back to his usual stance, straight back, hands behind his back and looking ahead.

The grand doors were open and you saw two more lackeys standing on each side of the door watching everything. The hallway to the ballroom was beautiful. Portrets hung on the wall some from the old royal families and some of the present one. Chandeliers with white candles hung on the high ceiling, the diamonds sparkling in the light. While the white walls were decorated with gold painted figures and the red carpet stretched out on the ground.

They reached the open doors leading towards the ballroom were two more people were standing as they waited for the announcer to announce them. Kai knew the two figures in front of him. How could he not? With her pink hair and snobby atitude, Viscountess Mariah Wong of Neron was a known gossiper. She knew everything from everyone and knew every scandal as the first. Kai didn't not like her nor enjoy her company.

Her brother was not much better, Viscount Lee Wong of Neron was very narrow minded and thought of himself above everyone that was lower him and he could not see past his nose either. He also had a rather nasty temper when something did not go his way. He did hope he would not have to endure their company tonight.

And finally the announcer tapped his large golden staff twice on the ground and called out loudly. 'Viscount Lee Wong of Neron.' Hearing his name, Lee proudly descended the grand white stairs. Another two taps and he announced Mariah: 'Viscountess Mariah Wong of Neron.' Mariah smiled haughtily and descended the stairs too, going directly to her group of fellow gossipers once she had descended the stairs.

The announcer bowed lightly for Voltaire and Kai before tapping his staff twice yet again. 'Duke Voltaire Hiwatari of Drayne.' He said in a loud voice. Some heads turned because everyone knew how powerful the Hiwatari family was and some wanted to stay in the Duke's good graces.

The announcer smiled lightly at Kai, since he had known the young man eversince he was a small child and had come to the palace often with his grandfather. Kai discreetly smiled back, it was a disgrace to befriend servants, atleast in the nobles' eyes. Servants were just that servants and lower then them. And since his grandfather thought the same way, Kai did not want to face punishment for openly smiling at the announcer. But the man understood completely. He tapped his staff twice again and said in a clear voice, 'Duchess Kai Hiwatari of Drayne.'

Now that drew the attention of a lot of males in the room and glares from most menas and females. Kai knew he was desirable and many had asked for his hand in marriage but Voltaire had always interfered with it. But his suitors had all been the same, they had only been interested in his looks.

Not one of them truelly knew him and they just loved him for his looks and wealth and Kai knew. And that hurt, but he had been hurt all his life and he had learned to push it away and put up a face of disinterest.

He continued his walk up to the thrones were the King and his sons were seated and also the oldest son's pregnant wife. He bowed.' Your highnesses.' He said politely. King Bruce smiled at the young man. 'Welcome again Kai, I am glad you and your grandfather came today.'the King said.

'And I am glad to be here, your highness.'Kai lied, not that anyone would notice anyway. He was absolutely not happy to be here at all, the moment he laid his eyes on the young prince he wished he would die.

Prince Tyson was sitting slouched in his throne and looking at him, his eyes laced with lust and possessiveness like he was some object. Kai almost shivered in disgust and mentally was throwing up. He had to marry that? He hoped he would be stricken with the plague on the day of the wedding and die.

He nodded politely to the younger prince and nodded towards the crown prince too. But his wife sitting next to him stood up and walked up to him, hugging him. 'Oh it's so good to see you again, Kai.'he said and smiled at the slightly older mena.

Kai smiled lightly and nodded, 'It's great to see you too, King.' And his ruby eyes travelled towards the white haired noble's swollen belly. 'How long?' he asked cruiously. King was his friend, one of the few he had, and they had known each other for years and told each other everything. Kai had been happy for him when crown prince Hiro asked him to marry him.

They have been married for two years now and soon would have their first child. Putting a gentle hand on his swollen belly he smiled, glowing with pride. 'Just one more month.'King said. 'Must be exciting.'Kai said. 'It is.' The youth said. He saw Hiro beckoning him over again and sighed. 'Well, I guess I better go back and greet all the guests.'the white haired princess said and smiled at Kai once again, gave him a quick hug and took his place back besides Hiro.

The crown prince smiled at him, whispered something in his ear and held his hand lovingly. To wich King smiled back and nodded. It made Kai glad to see how much the crown prince cares about King and that he treated him well.

He diverted his attention from the royal pair and looked around, he saw many familiar faces and most were not very pleasant ones either. 'Kai!' came a shout behind him while other nobles gasped or hmped under their breathes and said things like 'How uncouth' 'Oh it's him again, that wild one' 'How rude of him'. Kai chuckled lowly, there was only one person who would dare shout out loud on these balls and completely ignore etiquette, his best friend Marchioness Garland Siebald of Archandir.

Kai turned his attention to his friend as the young noble came over to him. His hair was loose with two small and thin braids on each side of his head wich were put together at the back and he wore a darkgreen dress with long bell sleeves and golden lining. A small tiara on his head and a thin silver necklace.

He and King were his best and only real friends in this entire ballroom.

Garland smirked at him and hugged him welcome. 'I'm glad you're finally here, Emily and Hilary were really starting to get on my nerves.'the silverblue haired mena said. Kai chuckled a litte, putting a hand over his mouth to stiffle it.

He gave Garland a playful look, 'You know you shouldn't speak bad about Baroness Hilary and Countess Emily. Walls have ears after all.'Kai said. Yes', Garland said glaring at a certain pink haired Viscountess. 'Especially when she's around.'

Kai looked at Viscountess Mariah who was talking rapidly with Baroness Hilary, Countess Emily and Marchioness MingMing. Shaking his head Kai looked at his annoyed friend. 'And how did your parents persuade you to come this time, Garland?' he asked, smiling as he knew his friend hated balls and anything that had to do with formal events.

Garland crossed his arms. 'They forced me, they said I would come here or they wouldn't let me continue with my martial arts class and you know how I've been begging years to get my parents to agree.'Garland said. Kai nodded, knowing about Garland's passion for martial arts eventhough it wasn't really a proper sport for a mena. Not that Garland cared about that, he broke the rules of etiquette so often that no one paid anymore attention to it. Kai saw Mariah tell something to her fellow noblewoman and pointing towards Garland

Well ... almost nobody.

'To bad Duchess Robert couldn't come, he's stuck with the flu.'King said as he joined the two. Garland grinned at him. 'Finally done with greeting the guests.' King blew out a stray hair from his face. 'Yes and I swear it is the most boring thing there is, sitting still the entire time and looking pretty. If I didn't love Hiro so much, I would not have done it.'King said rubbing his belly a bit.

'I can't believe they even let you attend this ball, you could give birth at any giving time.'Garland said. King shrugged his shoulders. 'I do not mind it much, I'm used to it by now. And besides I am to give birth in a month's time so do not worry.'King said smiling at his friend.

'I still think they should let you rest a bit more and not drag you to these kind of balls.' Garland stated. 'Well it is not our place to say.'Kai said. King nodded to the young Duchess. 'Yes the King's will is law as they say. But Kai I couldn't help but hear that your grandfather made another deal with the King.' King said raising his eyebrow at his friend. While Kai shifted a bit uncomfortable and rubbed his arm a bit. Garland looked at the two confused.

'What deal?'

King turned to Garland and pursed his lips in annoyance and a bit of anger before whispering, 'Voltaire gave Kai's hand in marriage to Tyson if the King would give another piece of land and let him become part of the royal court.'

'WHAT!'

'Heavens!' 'Oh how uncouth!' 'Oh it is just him again.' Whispers went around again because of Garland's outburst and some senior nobles gave the young mena nasty looks. Garland smiled sheepishly at the older nobles and apologized to the King as he was shocked at the outburst too.

'Oh honestly can't you control yourself, nobody knows yet and we don't want to attract any attention.'King hissed lowly. He looked around, seeing the other present nobles were busy and not looking at them anymore. He grabbed both Kai and Garland's hand and dragged them to a private room where they could talk.

When the doors were closed King turned to Kai who had seated himself in a comfortable chair and looking miserably at his hands that were placed in his lap. The white haired male went over to Kai, took a chair and sat down besides Kai. 'Oh I can't believe Voltaire would actually do this to you.'he said.

Kai chuckled humourless, 'Voltaire does not care what he does to me. It does not surprise me at all that he would make me suffer like this. Marrying Prince Tyson means he gets what he wants and he gets rid of me too.'Kai said depressed.

'But Tyson? He's still a child for bloody sake and spoilt rotten and selfish!'Garland shouted. 'Garland please keep your voice down, the walls are not soundproof.'King hissed. 'I don't care. What Voltaire has done is absolutely unacceptable. Making Kai marry that pig Tyson, not even the devil himself would make such a union.'Garland exclaimed angrily.

'But we cannot do anything about it, Voltaire is Kai's guardian until he is married. You know the law.'King said sighing. He had been glad when he married Hiro, he had finally been able to get out off his parents's mansion and away from their snobbish and higher-than-thou atitude.

Although he did miss his sister, he knew she had married one of the knights in Lamadin and was happily married and had two children. His sister had a good life and he was happy about that, he still received letters from her every week so he was content.

Garland huffed angrily and sat down. 'We have to be able to do something.'he grumbled. 'Kai can't marry Tyson, it is just not right, not to mention a downright abomination. And to think you have to ... eww.'Garland said thinking about the law about consumating the marriage right after the wedding. King scrunched up his nose in disgust.

'Please don't remind me.'Kai said sighing miserably. Garland looked at the exotic young male, feeling a bit guilty. 'I'm sorry, I should not have brought it up.' Kai just shook his head and smiled at the other male. 'It's alright, I will have to live with it, I guess. There is nothing I can do and refusing is not an option. The engagement will be announced later tonight and then it's official. Only a miracle can save me now from my engagement to Tyson.'Kai said standing up and walking to the doors. 'It is not fair you should go through this, Kai. You do not deserve it.'King said. 'No, you certainly do not.'Garland said firmly.

Kai smiled at his two friends and nodded to them. 'Thanks you two, I'm glad you two will help me through this.'the enigma said. 'Of course we will, we would not be very good friends if we didn't.'Garland said. 'Yes, we will help you get through this. And besides I can help you after the wedding to avoid Tyson as long as possible.'King said misschiviously. 'Oh good atleast I can hide then.'Kai said chuckling.

Talking to one another they rejoined the other nobles But it wasn't long before Voltaire made Kai say his goodbyes to his friends and drag him over to the royal family, who were in a private room. King had been allowed to also enter the room seeing as he was Hiro's wife. He took a seat as he was starting to feel a bit tired.

Kai bowed and so did Voltaire. 'Ah I'm glad you are here Kai. And you to Voltaire.'Bruce said smiling. 'You understand why you are here?' the older man asked Kai. The young Duchess just nodded his head to the King, keeping his eyes a bit lowered and shadowed by his bangs. 'Yes, I do your highness.'he said softly.

'Good now then Voltaire, you need to sign this. It is the marriage contract and of course all the conditions are in it.' Bruce said and he handed the Duke a large black feather and inkt. Smirking to himself, Voltaire took the feather dipped it in the small jar of inkt and signed the contract after wich the King himself also signed it and put the royal seal on it.

'There it is done. Your grandson will marry my youngest son. We will discuss the wedding arrangements at a later date and of course Kai will live in the palace until the wedding, as is tradition.'the King said. Voltaire nodded, his cold grey eyes looking at the King. 'Of course, I have brought his belongings with us. I know the laws of royal marriages.'the older man said, sounding offended. 'Of course.'the King said nodding.

'Now let us go back into the ballroom, I shall announce the engagement.'Bruce said and he went back to the ballroom followed by Hiro and King, King holding Hiro's arm. When Tyson came up to him and offered his arm. Kai could do nothing else but accept it and let himself be lead into the ballroom once again and be stared at by everyone. And although he was younger Tyson stood above him by a few inches.

While Kai was trying to avoid looking at anyone, Tyson did look at everyone present, wordlessly gloating about the fact he will get to marry the beautiful Duchess Kai. And he wanted everyone to see. Standing close to the buffet table, the King went to his throne and asked for silence. 'I have an announcement to make.' He began, 'I am delighted to announce that my son prince Tyson is engaged from this day forward to Duchess Kai Hiwatari of Drayne!'Applause went around and people congratulated Tyson and and his bride to be.

Kai however just nodded and gave a fake smile to let the people think he was overjoyed now. When in fact he was crying on the inside, never in his life had he wanted to cry openly as he wanted to now and tell everyone he did not want this. But he could not for he knew the punishment would be severe.

After almost an hour of getting congratulations from eveyrone and nasty looks from some of the noblemen and woman. Kai sighed miserable, now it was official and nothing could be done. He felt like dieing on the inside. He had been caged all his life by Voltaire and now he would be caged in this palace for the rest of his life.

Garland and King were nowhere to be seen so Kai went to the balcony to get some fresh air. The soft breeze caressed his face while the full moon shone on him and illuminating the beautiful palace garden. Breathing in the fresh air he felt a bit better and looked over to the buffet table.

Hid fiancé was stuffing himself while answering question from some of the noblewomen surrounding him. How some of those women and even some of the menas could adore and love prince Tyson was something Kai could not understand.

This is it then.Kai thought. This is how my freedom will forever be taken away from me. By marrying Tyson. He looked back at the young prince as the blue haired male stuffed his face full and spoke with a full mouth. Spitting a few pieces out as he talked.

Disgusting!

Then he looked at King and Hiro. Hiro was smiling at King lovingly keeping close to him and helping him, sometimes discreetly rubbing the white haired mena's belly. They had the perfect marriage, they loved each other and they belonged together. Kai could feel tears well up, how could he do this? He did not want this, he has never wanted any of this.

Why was he not allowed to atleast have some happiness in his life, just for once. He wanted to marry someone he loved and not be constantly used as a tool to get more power and land. He wanted to know what it felt like to be so much in love as his friend.

He could not help himself and went into a private room to try and keep his emotions in check. Trying to keep his emotions under control he never noticed another person entering the room and closing the door. But when he felt a hand on his shoulder, Kai jumped up a bit but sighed in relief as he saw it was just Tyson. 'Your highness.'he said politely bowing his head.

Tyson walked around him like a lion who is about to grab his prey before he stopped in front of the enigma. 'You know you are really beautiful and I can't actually believe you'll be all mine. What am I saying you are already mine, it just has to be made truelly official.'Tyson said smirking. Kai felt very uncomfortable at the moment seeing as the young prince was coming to close to his liking.

Nervously Kai took a step back and glared at the prince. 'I am not an object you own, your highness.'he said menacingly. Tyson smirked back a bit evilly and grabbed Kai's wrist tightly. 'Now is that a way to talk to your fiancé? After all you are just a mena and you are to be my wife in a few months wich means you better keep that sharp tongue of yours inside your mouth and only use it in our bedchamber, Duchess.'the blue haired male said threatingly. Biting the inside of his mouth in anger, Kai kept his mouth shut, knowing this was not the time nor place to put the young prince in his place. 'Now that is better.' Tyson said and he kissed Kai.

Shocked Kai felt himself being pushed against the wall and kissed more roughly as Tyson tried to pry open his mouth his hands wandered lower and lower trying to open Kai's dress at the back. Panicking Kai kicked him in the stomach and the prince doubled over in pain and then he punched him in the face. 'Bastard!'Kai hissed shocked that the prince violated him like that.

Finally not able to take looking at the prince, Kai quickly walked out of the private room and ballroom, taking no notice of people looking at him strangely. Though he did make sure he did not run, that would only cause even more attention to him. He was glad as he finally was out of the palace and went into the royal stables to find his beloved red mare, Dranzer.

She had been a very young foal when Kai found her when he was walking in the woods. He had nursed her and trained her and she had been his companion for many years. He found Dranzer in the last stable. She whinnied as she saw him and he walked into the stable and hugged her neck tightly and cried.

'What am I going to do Dranzer? I cannot marry him. For the life of me I cannot do it.'Kai sobbed into the mare's neck. Dranzer rubbed her elegant head against his shoulder as if trying to comfort her young owner. Kai petted her neck, feeling calmed by her prescence and soft whinnies. Still feeling violated and completely humiliated Kai made up his mind.

He looked out of the stable and noticed no one was around. Kai looked back at Dranzer, 'I cannot marry him and I will not. We'll run away to another kingdom and then no one can make me marry Tyson.'Kai said as he grabbed Dranzer's bridle and sadle. Quickly saddling the mare up, he lead her out of the stables, mounted her and urged her into a gallop.

When he was almost out of the gates he thought he heard Garland and King's voices calling after him but pushed it back. He did not care, he had to get away. Away from Voltaire, away from all the laws and rules, away from all those nobles, away from the palace and most of all away from Tyson.

He urged Dranzer on as they entered a thick forest. Dranzer galloped for hours and hours deep into the dark forest while the moon stood high up in the sky and the stars glittered giving of their own special light to the earth.

Kai did not know how long he let Dranzer run and he did not care, he just wanted to be away and when day came they were still running, Dranzer not in the least bit tired as she was a very good runner and could gallop days on end.

The forest seemed endless as Kai steered Dranzer trying to find a way out of the forest. When he saw an opening he sighed in relief and steered Dranzer right to it, unfortunately he did not see the low branch of a tree and smacked his head against it. Falling off of Dranzer and unto the hard ground. Immediatly darkness overtook him and he knew no more.

Okay that was the first chapter of White Romance and there will be more to come. And now for some explanations X3 X3

Mena: is a submissive/uke male

Uke males get the female titling if they are of nobility.

And yes this is going to be mpreg and how they give birth and everything, much like a woman only from the backside, savvy? X3 X3

And the dress thing you know how those woman and girls wear those beautiful dresses in the middle ages? Well that's the same for uke males only that at the front there is a split so you can see a pants underneath it, it shows both their feminine as their manly side, following me so far? Good, X3.

And yeah I made Dranzer a horse because I couldn't think of what she could be and I didn't want to make it a High fantasy story so I made her a horse and I made some other bitbeast normal animals too, but you'll find out in later chappie's. Oh and then the tiara thing well I found out that in some countries the woman of nobility wear a small tiara on their head to proof they are of nobility or something, the princess and the Queen have the fancier and more beautiful tiaras but you get the picture.

And yes I made Tyson kind of a bad guy, but meh he fits the role perfectly. X3 (grins)

Phew now that was a long chappie to write, but I loved it X3 X3. Sorry for some of the OOCness.

Review! X3
