-Five Years Later-
It was a bright and beautiful day.
A beautiful woman lays lazily with a young boy sleeping on her chest. Enormous, Catlike eyes blinked dazedly out of a heart-shaped face. Her eyes still an unusual pale amber was so astonishingly lovely that for a moment you couldn't help but be captured.
She was now 21 years old. Rachel rubbed the little boy soft hair dark brown hair that was similar to her own.
Sanjou Riyo, was the name of the person. she had saved five years ago. Let's just say the women was a real smooth talking, she was able to convince Rachel to stay.
New Name, New Identity, New Goal. Her shadow-weaving started evolving and changing
"Akiyo" Rachel lightly called to walk the little boy up. "Akiyo" she sung again, this time the boy moved and rubbed his eyes before going back to sleep on her chest. Rachel sat up while holding his sleeping frame.
He didn't struggle when she put him to bed nor woke up when she tucked him in.
She walked back out to the garden and folded her arms at the pond.
"Nikki" Riyo said from behind here a joyful smile on her face but.... Rachel frowns again at the Riyo if she didn't know her for this past year. She would have thought that the she was a she and clearly not a trap.
A Very beautiful Trap, who enjoys cross dressing.
This was Rachels very first experience with this type a thing. Where a man could look this good in female clothing. Sanjou Riyo, wasn't an unknown name in fact she was famous in this country history.
The Moon ball is held for every Moon prince to meet all the most eligible women in the country, this night is who he would choose a bride. Riyo was once chosen as the Moon Bride, the person who would become the Moon Princes most favored companion.
Although technically the Moon Bride was nothing more than the most prominent of the prince's lovers, her social status was only second to the Moon Princess, the prince's legal wife.
Well, anyways this 'trap' here actually became one. I mean how scary is that.
It had been known for a child of the Moon Bride to become heir to the Crown if the Moon Princess was barren. In all this time after ten years the old Moon Prince had never given this person up. Riyo had been his 'Moon Bride' until the old Moon Prince died Only a few years before Rachel had meet Riyo.
Rachel is not sure what to make of the Situation in the bedroom nor if the old Moon prince new. All she could draw was a comedic or Awkward scene in the bedroom.
"What's wrong?" Riyo said because of Rachel odd stare.
"I always thought that this would be an insensitive question but, after five years, I have a enough courage to ask......Did you love the former Moon Prince?"
"....." Riyo paused at the question but didn't drop her smile. It became sad and somewhat nostalgic.
"Neverminded you don't have to say anything. Your expression just now was enough for me to understand" Rachel said "But, do you believe that you will meet again? In another life"
"...." Again Riyo said nothing for a while "I do believe"
"Then, I surely hope so as well" Rachel said sadly "Come, Ill play a song for you"
"Ohh" Riyo smiled delightfully. Rachel lead Riyo to a clear room empty all sake for a Qin, which took her a long time to craft with perfection.
The Qin is a seven-string Chinese musical instrument of the Zither Family. In the brightened land this instrument was rare and hardly seen.
