Chapter 19-The Birth of a Prince

A young Serenity laid in her bed, looking out from her balcony. Even at six years of age, she knew she was to rule over the Moon Kingdom one day. Ruling a kingdom wouldn't be easy, so her mother, Queen Serenity, made sure that she had the proper assistance she would need in the future by setting up a treaty. The kings and queens of Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury allowed their daughter to live on the Moon Kingdom now and become one of young Serenity's honored senshi. While Serenity enjoyed their presence, she couldn't help but to focus on the one inner planet aside from Earth that wasn't in the treaty.

"Serenity, it's late. Why aren't you asleep like the rest of your senshi? Is everything okay?" Luna asked. Serenity didn't know that the feline crept into her room. The young princess set her gaze upon the mysterious planet that always caught her attention.

"Luna, why is Mars left out of the treaty? How come we don't associate with them?"

"You don't want anything to do with that planet," Luna answered. "The people on Mars are a bunch of savages. They are unruly and classless people who do horrible things."

"What kind of horrible things?" Serenity asked with more curiosity than nervousness.

"The things they do are so horrible that I can't bring myself to say them. You never want to be around one of them. They are nothing but trouble. They don't want anything to do with us and we certainly don't want anything to do with them. You should get some sleep now."

As Luna left, Serenity pondered more about Mars. She wondered what the "horrible" things were that Luna mentioned and what made the people there so bad. Her thoughts were soon disturbed when she heard footsteps outside. She crawled out of her bed and took a closer look. From her balcony, she saw two strangers, a man and a little girl that appeared to be her age wearing a prince uniform. The two were stopped by the guards, but upon closer inspection, were quickly let into the palace.

"Vlad! Dmitri!" Serenity yelled to the guards from above in an informal manner. "Who were they?"

"That was the King of Mars and his daughter!" Vlad yelled back. Though the guards may have held formal positions, they were far from formal themselves.

Serenity's eyes widened. "Mars?"

"Yeah, Mars! That's pretty awesome." Vlad replied. "Martians are no joke! It is said that the weakest Martian could outlast the strongest non-Martian in a fight."

"You saw his daughter?" Dmitri pointed out. "I can guarantee you that little girl has more combat training than the both of us combined. I wouldn't dare fight her."

"What are they doing here?"

"The king is here to meet the queen secretly!"

"Dmitri! You idiot! It was supposed to be a secret!"

"Don't judge me, Vlad!"

While the guards were about to get into a quarrel, Serenity decided to investigate further. She slipped on her dress and went downstairs. The palace walls became her cover as she hid around the corner, observing the conversation taking place in the middle of an empty ball room.

"Zeek, it's so nice to see you after all of these years! I'm glad you found some time to sneak over here. How have you been?"

"You know how life is on Mars. It's tough, but there's never a dull day that goes by, Miss Serenity."

"And who is this beautiful little girl with you?"

"This is my daughter. She's six years old."

"She's the same age as Serenity. She is upstairs sleeping."

"Yeah, she's sleeping like a baby right now," another voice chimed in behind the princess. Young Serenity felt a shock through her body, startled by the sudden response. She looked down at the owner of the voice.

"Artemis?"

"Why are you spying on the queen?"

"I'm not spying on my mother! I just wanted to get a closer look at the king's daughter."

"Well, why don't you just go up and talk to her instead?"

Serenity peaked around the corner again at saw the young girl. This girl had long raven hair that came to the back of her cape. Her face however, had no emotion as she stared at the queen.

"I can't talk to her. She's a Martian and Luna said Martians were bad people."

"They can't be that bad if two of them are here, right?"

"Well, um, no, I guess not."

"So go talk to her then if that's what you want to do. Who cares what Luna says?"

Serenity pondered over this for a moment. "She doesn't look like she wants to talk. What if she doesn't want to be around me?"

"Then simply go back to bed, but I think she's just shy. I'm sure if you start up a conversation, then she will be open to talking."

"Okay, I'll do it!" Serenity patted and stroked her hair several times. "How does my hair look?"

"Why the sudden interest in your hair?"

"Because I want to go out there looking good. After all, she is company. Now how does my hair look?"

"It looks fine, Serenity."

"Great! Wish me luck Artemis!"

Serenity took a deep breath and made her way towards her mother's company. She began to feel nervous, but while she wanted to turn around, her feet kept moving forward until the king spotted her.

"This must be your lovely daughter. She looks just like her mother," Zeek cheerfully said.

"Serenity, what are you doing up? I thought you were sleeping."

"I couldn't go to sleep. I noticed you had company over and I wanted to meet them."

Queen Serenity guided her hands towards her company. "Well Serenity, this is Zeek. He is the king of Mars and a long-time friend of mine, and this is his daughter."

Serenity studied the king's attire as he was clad in a fancy red vest with golden designs over a black garment. He wore a red head scarf with the same golden design along with a plain red scarf wrapped around his neck. Serenity formally greeted Zeek with a "hello sir" before taking a step closer to the girl who caught her attention. Zeek's size and attire made have appeared intimidating, but it actually was his daughter that made her feel nervous. "H-hi there."

The king's daughter nodded her head and firmly shook Serenity's hand. "Good evening, princess Serenity."

This girl was very…formal, even more formal than the queen's own guards perhaps. She was so formal that she didn't even smile.

"Well Serenity, since you are up, why don't you show my friend's daughter around the palace?"

Young Serenity immediately accepted the opportunity. "I would love to show you the flowers outside."

However, the king's daughter seemed visibly uneasy about this, shifting her eyes to the floor. "I don't know about this. I think I'd rather stay here."

The girl's response made the princess even more nervous. However, she couldn't just simply "go back to bed" as Artemis suggested. She wanted to get to know her. Young Serenity's eyes rushed over to Artemis, desperately hoping he could give her some quick advice on what to do next. Judging from the look in his eyes, he was trying to find a quick solution as well.

Luckily, neither of them had to figure out what to do next as they saw the king's sudden actions. He met his daughter at eye level, placing his massive hands on her shoulders. "My daughter, this isn't Mars. You can relax and let your guard down for once."

"I-I don't know, father."

"Daughter…please. The princess isn't the enemy. Let her show you around. Enjoy yourself. Relax," her father pleaded.

"Okay," she whispered. Though she was still unsure of his advice, she turned to Serenity and accepted her offer. "I would love to see the flowers. Could you please show them to me?"

There was silent cheering from the young princess who got her wish, even if it was somewhat forced on the king's behalf. "I'd be glad to."

Zeek spoke to the queen again. "Miss Serenity, do you still have ballroom dances here every night?"

"Yes and actually, we are about to have one in a few minutes, but I'm skipping it. I don't get to see you that often so it's worth missing a dance."

Zeek grabbed the tips of Queen Serenity's fingers and lifted them up to his chin. Well, I could always have a dance with you." He then bowed his head and kissed her hand.

Queen Serenity chuckled. "Careful Zeek. Serenity's father is probably watching somewhere.

Zeek chuckled back. "Her father has always been the jealous type."

"I'm surprised your wife even let you come here with all of the flirting you do."

"I'm honestly surprised too, but she knows that I'm faithful to her. She told me to tell you hi by the way."

Queen Serenity and King Zeek looked down only to find their daughters staring at them awkwardly.

"Well Serenity, aren't you going to show your guest to the flowers?"

"Oh yeah, they are right around back. Follow me."

Princess Serenity took her guest outside and lead her into the garden where there were armies of flowers planted.

"This is a lovely garden you have."

"Thanks, my mother and I spent countless hours planting it."

"I can see the hard work has paid off."

When Serenity's guest stopped in her tracks and shifted her eyes down again, she became worried. "Is everything alright?"

"Yes. I just noticed this one flower." Her guest pointed to one specific flower. "This flower looks like your dress, white outside, yellow center, and very beautiful."

Serenity turned her head to blush. "Um, t-thank you."

Her guest however, couldn't understand why she was turning red. "Err, are you okay Serenity?"

"I'm okay. I just really enjoyed your compliment."

"Really? For a minute I thought you were angry with me."

"Why would I be angry with you?"

"You turned red. I only turn red when I'm angry."

Serenity wondered what kind of planet Mars was if her guest only experienced 'blushing' out of anger. Nevertheless, she would not let the thought ruin the moment."

"No, no! Sometimes I turn red when I'm happy. I can't explain it, but it comes naturally," Serenity said. It was at this point that she finally realized that she didn't know her guest's name. "Hey what's your name by the way?"

"I don't have a name."

This was even weirder than the blushing incident. "You don't have a name? How do you 'not' have a name?"

"My father and mother couldn't decide on a name to give me, so they just left me nameless."

Serenity couldn't figure it out, but something about her guest's story seemed….lacking, almost as if she was intentionally leaving things out. "So what does your father and mother call you?"

"They just call me their daughter."

Serenity knew she wasn't lying about that, since she remembered when King Zeek actually referred to her guest only as "my daughter". This girl wasn't "her" daughter though, so she needed to find another way to address her.

"I got it! I'll give you a name!"

"You will….give me a name?"

"Yes. Hmmm, I think I'll call you….Prince."

"Why Prince?"

"Because of your outfit, silly! You have on a prince's outfit, and I like it."

King Zeek's daughter didn't quite know what to make of Serenity's logic, but she found comfort in it. She was honored that someone actually cared enough to give her a name.

"Do you…like it?" Serenity asked hesitantly after her guest's immediate silence. "We could change it if you want. You don't have to keep it."

Serenity's guest finally smiled, catching the princess off guard. "I like this name, Serenity. I want to keep it."

"Then Prince it is?" Serenity asked, hoping that she heard correctly.

"Prince it is."

"Prince," Serenity said back to herself, enjoying the name she chose. They smiled at each other, as if they had just made a successful business deal. Now that Serenity saw that the 'prince' was starting to relax like her father suggested, she was ready to know so much more about her.

"Serenity, what are you doing out here? It's past your bedtime!"

The happiness Serenity felt soon turned into another chill down her back when she heard Luna's voice.

"And who is this?"

Before Serenity could answer, Luna noticed the Mars symbol on the prince's breastplate.
