Watching the carriage roll in, Hakuren groaned. He needed to be with Nova. The first one that came was all white. Snow laid on top of the carriage ''Welcome White Princess Qiang! Little Princess Liling! Of Kyshu Kingdom, to the Kou Empire!'' Qiang inside the carriage took in a deep breath, stepping out of carriage

Her silk white dress follow behind her. The bells hanging off her hair pins, dinged together. She bowed to the royals ''Hello, Emperor Hakutoku, Lady Gyokuen, Prince Hakuyuu, Prince Hakuren, Prince Hakuyuu, Princess Hakuei. I am the White Princess Qiang'' She had pale white skin, white hair, a light blue eyes, that'll lighter than the spring skies

''Welcome'' Lady Gyokuen smiled in her sleeve. Qiang stood back up straight, holding her hand into the carriage. A little hand took it. Princess Liling wore a light pink dress, her hair was done up its two little buns, with red ribbons around it

Princess Liling looked up at the six people, smiling brightly ''Bow, Liling'' Qiang whispered downwards. Liling looked up at her sister, than back to the Emperor who waited. Liling let go of Qiang hand hand to bow. Lossing her balance, Liling splatted into the ground

Hakuei kept her giggled behind her sleeve like her mother. Qiang quickly picked her up back, and bushed her off ''I'm sorry about her''

''it's fine!'' Emperor Hakutoku chuckled stepping off the platform he stood on ''How was your ride here? I hope it was well'' Hakutoku held his hand out to Qiang. Taking it, he lead her up the steps ''The trip was adventurous. I have never been outside of Kyshu'' ''How dose the Kou look so fair?'' 

''Beautiful. So many colours. Kyshu is just snow all year around. I haven't felt the sun before, I just bight get burnt'' ''Oh we don't want that happening. I'll have a hat brought to you'' ''Thank you, Emperor Hakutoku'' He brought her and Liling over to a couple chairs ''We are still waiting for Hojo and Mari, princess'' ''Knowing the Hojo, they'll be late'' Hakutoku chuckled, walking away 

Hakuei let go of Hakuren hand, running over to Liling ''I saw you fall. That was funny'' Liling looked down at her feet, sniffling ''Oh no, don't cry. I've done it lots of time'' Liling moved closer to Qiang when Hakuei sat next to her

''Are you afraid of me?'' ''She just hasn't seen many girls her age before. Be good Liling'' Hakuei dag in her sleeve, pulling a wooden doll out ''You like dolls?'' Liling looked up at Qiang with big betty eyes, Qiang gave Liling doll over ''Yay we can play together!'' 

Hakuyuu chuckled looking away form the three girls ''What about you go say hi, Hakuryuu?'' Hakuryuu shock his head, digging it further into Hakuryuu leg ''Okay than'' 

The next carriage came soon after. It was brown with yellow sits. The windows where open letting Hakuren perk in catching the princess eyes. She quickly closer the window ''Is that who I'm marrying?'' She whispered to her brothers. All three at the same time, pocked their heads out the window. Gawking at the prince

Pocking their heads back in, they nodded together ''Yep'' ''He looks mean'' The younger spoke first ''At least his cute'' ''that's don't the point Liu!'' 

''Welcome Prince Liu! Princess Daiyu! Prince Zixin! Prince Xiaobo! To the Kou Empire!'' The prince's didn't waist anytime getting out of the carriage ''ow! That was a long ride!'' Zixin called stretch his back ''Zixin'' Liu walked his head ''Bow'' Xiaobo was already bowing. Zixin quickly follow ''Hello, Empire Hakutoku. These are my brothers Zixin'' ''Sir!'' Zixin voiced creaked, calling out ''And Xiaobo'' ''Sir!''

''I hope we can be of service of you one day'' The Princes stood up ''And my sister Daiyu'' Liu waved to where she was spouse to be standing ''One second. She gets nervous'' Liu pocked his head into the carriage ''Daiyu get out here'' ''No'' ''Don't make me drag you out'' The twins glared at each other

''Fine'' Daiyu stepped out of the carriage, holding Liu hand. She took in a deep breath ''Hello, Emperor Hakutoku. I hope to marry into your family one day'' She choked out with a small voice. Hakutoku gave the signal to Hakuren, for him to go and meet her. Hakuren refuses to move ''I won't marry her. She's covered in dirt. Her hair is tangled, and I can smell her form here'' Hakuren snapped out, loud enough for them to hear

Qiang in the back gasped into her sleeve ''Hakuren!'' Hakuyuu hit his brothers arm, in angry ''apologise!'' ''Why should I? I don't know her--'' ''You know what!'' Daiyu shouted getting his attention 

''Daiyu don't'' Liu hissed ''No, I won't stand here and take a royal, stuck up princess shit!'' The younger two sons sighed ''Here she goes''

''I am covered in dirt, because I work for what I hold! I wasn't born into being a princess! I have been fighting my whole life!'' She held her brown and yellow dress up, walking up the steps ''What have you done Prince Hakuren! What can you prove with nice silk cloths, bushed through hair, and clean smelling skin?!'' Hakuren was silent ''Answer me!''

''I've been fighting too! I won the war--'' ''No! A little girl you throw into battle, won the war! You have no right to judge me! You winning this war, brought my people to a crawl when we'll finally running!'' Equal in height, Hakuren couldn't use his height to win. She pushed her body forward so there nose where touching

''Daiyu step down!'' ''Why should--'' ''I said step down!'' Liu used his bigger voice, making her step back ''Emperor Hakutoku I am sorry for my sisters behaviour'' Xiaobo dragged her back ''And I apologise for my sons. Hakuren excuse yourself, we'll talk later'' ''Yes father'' Hakuren hissed

''Please take a sit, Hojo Princess won't be to far away'' Hakutoku waved over to Qiang sitting with the other princess ''Yes sir'' The group wounded over to the others ''Mudads'' Hakutoku waved the guard over at the bottom of the stairs ''Don't let him into that room, form here on wards'' ''And if he using force?'' ''Use force back, go'' Mudads bowed, lighting jogging into the large palace

The every last carriage was all white again with blue sits. The man welcome all the royals took a drink of water, before speaking ''Welcome Princess Mei of the Black River! To The Kou Empire!'' The lone princess stepped out of her carriage. The black dress she wore sparkled in the sun. The hair pins where gold standing out above all else

Hakuyuu glupped, meeting her all black eyes ''Welcome princess Mei'' Hakuyuu walked down the steps ''I am Prince Hakuyuu'' Her face was till ''Hello, Prince Hakuyuu'' She joined her hands together, bowing. Hakuyuu held out his hand ''I'll lead you on'' She held her eye roll back, taking his arm instead

''Lead on, Prince'' Hakuryuu ran up to Hakuyuu grabbing his other hand ''Your brother?'' ''yes, Prince Hakuryuu'' Se looked around at the prince's and Princess ''THe future family looks all to be here'' ''The younger ones do not know. But yes''
