Prince Akira

Hello! Well I've started on a new story. Hope it's good so far!

“You’re Highness! Where are you?!” A frantic voice shouted.

A tall man wearing a black and maroon suit leaned against an archway in the garden. His dark gray eyes rested on Madoka, the woman calling for the young prince- the young and stupid prince- that they were looking for, again. He sighed.

“We’re never going to find him like this, Madoka.” The man said softly.

Madoka turned to him angrily, her nostrils flaring. Her light brown hair shined in the sun, a glow of ferocity in her hazel eyes, though there was still a hint of compassion within them.

“Then how do you suppose we’ll find him, then?!” She demanded.

Since day 1, the young prince has gone and lost himself among the beach not far from the castle. He had his own spot that he always went to and hid from the pressures of royalty. The man knew this because only he has found him there, every time the prince was reassuringly ‘lost’.

Madoka closed her eyes and put her clutched-hands onto her hips, her head bowed in frustration.

“Where is he, Kaede? I know you know where he is.” She pried.

The man, Kaede, shrugged. “I shall be back, with him.” He said as he turned around and walked off without telling her.

“Oh!” Madoka exasperated, stomping her foot.

A soft breeze was gently blowing the giant leaves of the palm trees on the beach, casting small shadows on the sandy ground. The sound of waves crashing into each other could be heard clearly, pulling in and out of the deep blue ocean.

Then there was a sigh from the lips of a young man, a man of royal blood. He drew in his slender, pale hand in and rested his chin on it. His deep blue eyes stared aimlessly at the water, watching its end meet with the horizon of the sky.

All was peaceful here, which was why he chose this as his secret spot. It was quiet, too, until the sound of shuffling footsteps disturbing the untouched sand snapped his attention back to reality.

“Excuse me, Your Highness…” Kaede said kindly.

The prince gave a small gasp of surprise, but then smiled a charming smile.

“Kaede-san! You’ve found me!” He exclaimed, teasingly.

Kaede gave a small chuckle.

“Yes, once again, I’ve found you.” He remarked.
