"Master Koda!"
Hmmm… that voice… he thought.
"Master Koda!"
There it was again with more urgency.
Slowly coming out of his daydreaming state he listened to a female voice call out "Master Koda!" a few more times before he remembered something.
Oh… That's right… My current identity is Koda Rei.
After completely coming to his senses he sat up and looked at the young women standing to the side of his bed. He could see the look of annoyance on her face that she was trying to hide.
"What is it Miss Fei?" he finally managed to reply.
"It has been two hours since I came in here last to tell you of your schedule for the day and you are still in your pajamas…" she said putting her hand to her forehead while closing her eyes and looking down. "I told you, you have an important charity event to attend today at Hospital T after lunch with investors at Hotel Phoenix. Now, we will have to cancel lunch with the investors… hurry up and get ready so we can at least make the charity event."
Miss Fei was his secretary who also had the job as his personal maid. He wanted the same person that assisted him at work to assist him at home so he created the job and was surprised how fast he had receive applications for such a job. She ended up being the one who won it. He wasn't sure if she was lucky or unlucky to have done so.
"Master Koda, you're not going to make me watch you get ready, are you?" Miss Fei said in a low voice with an embarrassed look on her face.
"Haha, fine, don't have that look on your face. I'll get ready. Meet me downstairs in half an hour." He decided he would spare his secretary for today and give in.
"Yes, Master Koda!" Miss Fei replied before leaving the room happily.
A little less than two hours later, a black Maybach pulled up in front of Hospital T. Miss Fei exited from the front passenger door and proceeded to open up the rear door for Koda Rei. After he got out of the car he walked just three steps before he was frozen in place by the sight before him.
That pink hair… he could tell with just a glance that it was natural pink hair unlike the dyed hair that was popular in this era. The girl with pink hair had just left the hospital doors and was walking towards them. She had a different face but seeing her beautiful pink hair all he could do was freeze up and go into a daze as thoughts of his first love came flooding into his head.
The first time they met was when they were both five years old. His family's clan was visiting theirs to discuss their alliance. The first time he saw her she was training her martial arts under the guidance of her father but the detail that he noticed first was that she had beautiful pink hair. He had never seen hair that was such a color and it mesmerized him. Also seeing her diligently training even though she was a five-year-old girl deeply affected him. After that day he would stop half trying when he himself was training and would put his all into it just as he saw her do it.
During their parents meeting the two of them played together in the garden playing games like hide -and-seek. It wasn't long before the meeting ended with her father being nominated the king and he became the new princess's playmate.
A few years went by and their relationship grew as well as changed from playmates to sparing partners. Around this time is when he acknowledged the fact that he had fallen in love with her at first site back then. But, she was a princess who could not marry just anyone, therefore he had never confessed his feelings.
Not long after his twenty-eighth birthday was the day of his nightmares. That day was the day he heard the news of his first love's fate. She had died on the battle field. After hearing the news, he had sat in the location he heard of the news for the rest of the day in a daze not wanting to believe it.
With tears in his eyes he was brought back from his daydream after hearing the loud sound of something crashing right in front of him, almost like the sound of glass breaking but with a lower tone. Looking in the direction of the sound he realized the source. There was a shattered pot with soil spread everywhere and a flower plant lying in the middle. Right behind the mess stood the girl with pink hair looking up at the hospital behind her.
