The Sea Princess, Miku Hatsune, arose from her bed in tears once again. Her nightmares of the legend of First Loves had come back, and it had been a week since Rei's short visit. She also received news of Len's visiting today, so she felt even more terrible on the inside.

Miku remembered her short, but sweet kiss with Rei Kagene yesterday. She felt guilty all over again. Though her first kiss was not to be shared with neither of the pursuers, she still loved them with all her heart. She doesn't dare to tell of her first kiss, for the curse of the legend would soon be on her, like it had been on a former, dense Light Princess, Akita Neru.


{SKIP IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO HEAR THE LEGEND OF "THE FIRST LOVES"}

[There was once a famous legend circling around the Light, Dark, and Sea Kingdoms. There was once a young, foolish Light Kingdom princess by the name of Akita Neru, who loved both princes of the Sea and Dark Kingdoms. She had her first kiss with her childhood friend, who loved her with all his heart. She didn't return his feelings, despite the warnings of her mother about the Love Goddess of the Heavens, telling her to stay close to her first kiss. She decided to be together with the both of the princes, earning her the hate of their Lords.

She continued to chase the two Princes, the Sea and the Dark, at the same time. As the mother has warned, the Goddesses of the Heavens took revenge on the imprudent Light princess by taking her lovers away. They hypnotized the princes' parents into betrothing them to the other kingdom's princesses, who were the girl's biggest enemies. The Lords also made the Princes fall in a mad love with Neru's enemies, causing her to get enraged. The Light Princess forced her fellow subjects into throwing war at the "offending" kingdoms. It was a pointless, five-month war with deaths sky-rocketing to over 2 million. At this point, she completely forgot about her childhood friend.

Akita Neru has faced death threats, countless murders, and terrible, forbidden language, trying to find her love again. No one helped through her kingdom's pain, except for the one childhood friend who she shared her first kiss with. She completely ignored him, and the Heavens punished her again. They made the childhood friend die of a dangerous war battle caused by the dim-witted Light Princess.

The boy was great friends of the Dark and Sea Kingdoms' Princes and Princesses, so they rose up against her in a great trance. They killed her, and buried her next to the childhood friend, hoping for the Heavens to forgive her. The Kingdoms lived in great peace, rumored to be brought upon the luck of the Skies for keeping their pure love for the ones they shared their first kiss with. Akita Neru was cursed into forever being hated with her childhood friend, but they were always remembered… together…]


Thinking about the legend made Miku miserable. She turned around to hear a soft voice call to her. Gumi opened Her Highness's door after a gentle knock. "Your Highness, Len is here now. He is waiting in Guest Room #3. Your father is also with him. He requests that you meet him right away."

Miku smiled. "Thank you, Gumi. Please don't be so formal; we've been friends for a long time. Just call me Miku. That would be fine."

Gumi bowed with a sweet smile on her face. "Thank you, Miku." She stepped toward the Sea Princess, and started brushing her hair again. "Your Hi—I mean, Miku? Would you like to tie up your hair or leave it down?"

Miku gave the question unnecessary thought. "I think I'll leave my hair down today. Father thinks I look too young when I tie up my hair."

"Yes ma'am."

After Gumi finished brushing Miku's long teal hair, she sighed. "Gumi? Who do you think I should go with?" Miku put a finger in her hair, twirling it around like a hurricane.

"Miku, you know I can't decide who you love. Just follow your heart."

"My heart belongs to Rei," Miku whispered quietly. "But my mind says I belong to Len."

"Then follow the path you choose."

"I can't."

Gumi sighed, and smiled sweetly before leaving. "I wish you the best of luck."

"Thank you…" Miku stood up, and closed the door behind her. She went past the Grand Stairs, and into the 3rd guest room. She saw Len, but her father was nowhere to be found.

Len stood up, and greeted the Sea Princess with a short kiss to the cheek.  "Good morning, my love. We have much to discuss today."

"Yes…"

"Shall we talk in your room? It will be much more private there."

"It is fine by me…"

Len took Miku's soft hand and lead her to her empty bedroom. Locking it behind him, he shut his eyes, and paced towards Miku. "Miku, my love… I've loved you for a long time now, and your father has agreed to let me take your hand in marriage… "

"Len," Miku breathed. "I don't know what to say…"

"Then don't say anything. I wanted to hear you one more time… before I head out… to war."

Miku gasped. "You're heading off to war? That can't be!"

Len looked down, and held Miku's hand as tears silently fell down her cheeks. "I will attack the Dark Kingdom's army headquarters at dawn. I came to say good-bye and wish you the best."

"Len… Why must you make war because of me? Am I really worth that much?" Miku started, wiping the tears off with her gloves. "What about the deaths of those soldiers who fight and bleed over our love? What happens to them if… if they don't make it back to their loved ones? Will this be okay?"

"If it's for you, my love, everything will be fine to me." Len said softly. Looking down at Miku crying, he closed his eyes and sighed. "I'll do anything to make you mine. You're everything to me, Miku."

Looking in her bright teal eyes before he sets off, Len placed a little box in her cupped hands. A golden necklace-locket sat inside, shining and reflecting Miku's beautiful teal eyes. She gasped, gazing at the expensive present her love had sent her, as Len held her in his arms.

Kissing her forehead once more, Len left with a simple, "I'll come back to get you. I promise you that… so don't forget me, okay?"

I won't forget you, but I won't forget Rei either. I love both of you…
I AM A POTATO.
