"Mother! What is the meaning of this!?" Sky yelled, his anger unleashed since they were alone.
Sakura gave him an unamused look, taking another sip from her beloved coffee. "What? I thought you had no objections to being crown prince? I really knew picking Zane was the better choice-"
"Not that I can't handle being King!" Sky shouted, volume rising by the second. "It's the problem with the other factions! Plus the fact that I don't even like Star that way!"
Now this got Sakuras' attention.
"You don't like Star romantically?" She asked, finally putting down her cup of half finished coffee. "I thought you two were meant to be together, you know? With how she follows you around and also how you are so overprotective of her."
Sky flushed, collecting himself before straining to speak in a calm tone, "It's all a misunderstanding mother, I have never felt romantic feelings for Star, at all." Ignoring Sakuras' confused look, he continued. "As for my 'overprotectiveness'," He quoted sarcastically, "it was because I just don't like that Star is being bothered by my brothers.".
Crossing his arms as he proved his point, Sky stood up straight and concluded, "Therefore, I have no romantic attractions to Star, and I also have not much interest in becoming crown prince." Glaring at his mother, "So I would like you to call off this engagement. Fast."
Sighing, Sakura leaned against her giant sakura-colored armchair, "No can do I'm afraid, since the Duke and his wife has already agreed to the engagement."
"But me and Star didn't even get to have a say in this-"
"Yes, so while I can't give you any promises, I will try to negotiate with them." Sakura sniffed, taking yet another slow sip from her coffee cup. "It will be a bother if their Dukedom and the Royal Family didn't align, since I've been foretold that another war will be happening soon. Details will be told to you and your brothers soon, tonight." Sakura harshly ended her sentence, effectively stopping Sky from talking. "Am I clear?"
Averting her eyes, Sky could only mumble his response.
"Yes mother."
