A/n: I hope you like this new chapter! Please listen to the song above! It's Kaori's character song: My Truth, Rondo Capriccioso, Now, I can say I am thankful that I am reading Silmarillion and listening to the music of Narnia and LOTR. It gives me the air and language I want to incorporate in my story. I am thankful of Tolkien and CS Lewis. They're my inspirations and I admire their works.

After the five female dancers who danced traditionally in front of everyone, Kaori approached Kousei. "I don't have my violin with me, Kousei. Can I sing instead? There's the orchestra. I can sing. Didn't we compose a song together back in Japan? I have brought the copy with me and I'll give it to them."

"I think that's a good idea," Kousei said to her as he touch Kaori's golden hair. "They'd be listening to an angelic voice."

Kaori's cheeks went red again. "Stop teasing me, Kousei!"

He chuckled at the time Kaori punched his right shoulder tightly and soon, they're smiling joyfully together. He allowed Kaori to find the piece at her room at the visitor's chambers before they perform and luckily, she was just in time when she returned at the Royal Great Hall. She handed it to Kousei and he immediately gave it to their musicians at the left side of the hall.

"It's one of my compositions. It's Japanese, yes. Miyazono Kaori created the lyrics," he said to the conductor and to some other members of the orchestra.

Emperor Richard III watched his son sit on the piano stool with Miyazono Kaori standing in front of the mic. They're in front of the audience while he could see only the back of Kaori.

Slowly, the orchestra stopped playing classical songs into the composition Prince Kousei had made. The title is My Truth: Rondo Capriccioso. Miyazono Kaori began singing:

"Kaze no itazura

Kimi no ashioto

Oikaketa

Nichijou no kanjou uzumaku

Kanousei no naka

Yuru yururi sora ni yume e to

Mimi wo sumaseyou

Ah, my truth

Kitto..."

Everyone gave them a round of applause most especially the Japanese guests who understood every word of the song. They're proud that the new crown prince of the Empire of Atlantis does have Japanese Blood. They began whispering to each other with such happiness after they have done such a wonderful song that had made everyone feel at awe and even if they haven't formally announced who and what they are, in the eyes of the journalists and reporters invited inside, it is apparent that Prince Kousei Arima and Miyazono Kaori are in love with each other. They do look very sweet with each other and their hands were glued with each other when they took a bow after they have finished their majestic performance in front of everyone.

"Thank you. I'm glad you never forgot about getting more scenes like these where people applauds us," Kaori told him.

"You're there with me. You reminded me the warmth and happiness I get when the crowd of people appreciate our music," he replied to her.

...

After they were able to return at their table after the feast was done, Prince Kousei smiled at Tsubaki and Watari. "I'll borrow Kaori for a while. My father wanted to meet Kaori."

"We'll wait for her in our room. Tomorrow, we'll all be going home. We're only allowed to stay here until you're crowned, anyway," Tsubaki told him.

"Congratulations, your highness," Watari Ryota told him. "I didn't know my best friend is a prince."

Kousei thanked them. He held her girlfriend's hand. "Let's go? I know you're nervous. He's a good person and a very kind king. I'm sure he would like you for me."

Kaori's cheeks were really red and she's too nervous to meet the emperor. They began walking out of the Great Hall with some of Kousei's bodyguards following him. When they're in front of the door of the chamber room of Emperor Richard III at the east wing of the Emperor's Quarters, he knocked at the door. He immediately introduced himself, "Your son, Kousei Arima, has come here in accordance to your order to bring Kaori Miyazono and introduce her to you formally."

"Come in," his father answered him.

Kousei and Kaori entered his father's bedroom quickly. The room of the emperor is huge and enormous. It is filled with a lot of gold and diamonds. The windows and doors are made of gold mixed with some metals. The windows are closed off by a black curtain. The bed does have some gold curtains on with a red blanket. A phoenix symbol is on the bed's headboard. There's also a polished wooden table inside. There are no televisions nor computers inside the room but an air conditioner regulates the cold air inside while a small diamond chandelier lights it up. Below the air conditioner is the king's small book case. The two kids can very well see that the emperor's table is also where he accepts files and important documents.

"Dad, you work inside your room?" Kousei asked him. He could see that his father had just taken off his red cloak. Just like him, he's still wearing his royal clothes.

"Yes, son. I work here but I meet people in my individual throne just like you are when you do begin working as the new crown prince officially tomorrow. Tomorrow, you'll be escorting your friends home alongside Miyazono Kaori," he answered him. Richard sat at the leather seat and faced them. "Is that beautiful maiden, 'Miyazono Kaori'? Can she understand English?"

"Yes, dad. She's the woman I'm in love with. She could speak in English proficiently, father," Kousei answered him with so much pride.

"I am Kaori, Your Majesty. I hope you allow us to keep each other's relationships, sir," Kaori replied to him. "I do truthfully love your son."

"Son, could you give us some privacy?" he asked him after a few seconds.

"But I thought-!" he retaliated but he saw his father's fiery stare that made him back away and step outside of his father's room. He took a very deep breath and stared at his father's room worriedly. He hopes that Kaori would be able to carry herself up in front of his father. He remembered Kaori's worried eyes while he leave her side after he was ordered by his father to leave them. He's sure that he's going to say the same conditions to Kaori which he said to him when he asked if he could be allowed to inform everyone about his relationship with her. If she's unable to follow those conditions, they will be forced to split and he hopes she will accept the conditions his father would ask her to take.

...

A/n: I know. This is a short chapter. I hope you like it! Don't forget to vote and comment! Do you think Kaori's family will allow themselves to go in Atlantis and live there for the sake of their daughter's love life?
