 Where art thou my fair princess?
Neibelheim, China. Late Feudal Era's
Kazuki was dozing off in the middle of the soft green field known as "Evergreen" on the hill that overlooked his village which was surrounded by thick forests. The sun was positioned a bit before noon the the baby blue sky, being overshadowed from time to time by translucent clouds that were lazily drifting by. The weather had been horrible, nothing but a combination of heavy rains and light winds, for the past three days. However, around midnight yesterday it had settled into a light drizzle. Then one he had been awaken by the suns welcoming rays in the bright early morning, the rain had altogether stopped. Earlier on, Kazuki had left the village of Chaoyi in search for some peace and quite away from the bustling place, as well as just some fresh air. Out here he had found that. The wind blew gently over the hills in which he rested, brushing against his skin the touch of a feather and then passing over him like velvet blanket. The smell of the rain wafting around him had it's clear smell without any interruptions from the market place in the center of Chaoyi's Saitama plaza, combining with food or paints, or any other types of smell.
He idly brushed away stray strands of firey red hair that had been blown into his face by the wind, blinking his eyes of the same color against the light of the sun. Kazuki had chosen his casual blue top, one that blended in with the lower class of people, comfortable cotton pants of a darker shade. He frowned as the voices of his advisers steamed into to his peaceful thoughts, reminding and nagging him to dress like his station demanded. Ever since five years ago, after his fathers death in battle and the consequential death of his mother, he had been given the patrilineal inherited title of "leader" and the empire of Neibelheim with the capital of Chaoyi that was the center of trade, and commerce, commerce, and an easy success. One, he might add, that he disliked having. Now at the age of twenty his three top priorities were: taking care of his people, getting back his personal life secret, and just finding time for himself for the sake of his sanity.
Kazuki sighed, propping himself on his forearms and sitting up at an angle. He watched with a blank expression as Chaoyi came to life, still wondering how tourists managed to find their way here. After a few moments he stood, brushed off his clothes, and was beginning to head down the slope of the steep hill when he heard footstep to his left. Light but there, he turned his gaze upon the cover of forests where they came from and awaited whoever it was.
