#jurikou

It’s not easy being a lady!

anyway the aftermath of romeo is actually lipxlip failing to woo princess sena bc. she's already with midori or whatever haha poor lipxlip KDHJDHD anyway i'm gonna. follow a weirder version of the fanon aiyuuification of romeo where prince aizou and prince yuujirou were set to marry each other (set up by queen tamura LMAO) for. economic stuff i swear im smarter than this but yeah

except they dont like each other (haha canon) so they simultaneously look into ways to escape said marriage and the only "way" is princess sena of another kingdom bc an alliance with them would be equally beneficial as an alliance with each other. ofc this plan sucks bc of several reasons, primarily they'd have to compete in wooing a complete stranger. although her younger sibling would have been viable except. she already hates them (deserved) KFJDGDJDHJD

"did you even consider if princess sena will like you. or if she already has a lover" junior adviser hiyori asks. she gets ignored bc of course they do that

anyway. lipxlip fail™ bc princess sena is already with the foreign vagabond midori and well they eventually settle their differences and *cue yume fanfare*

anyway back to actual point of this au which is prince ken of the east kingdom—with a long loooong history of being a playboy—is trying his very best to catch the heart princess arisa of [insert kingdom here] and prince kotaro coming into terms with his feelings for his childhood friend princess hina and yeah

gen 1 beloveds r kings and queens and whatevers now

juri and chizu are duchesses btw. theyre still friends with hiyori and chuutan still exists but now she's "lady chuutan" KDHMDHJ

ahaha anyway jurikou will happen bc prince koudai, disguised as a barista for who knows what reason, makes juri coffee (haha machiatto <3) and they use it as a form of communication until they finally get together

but ofc lets go back to gen 2 bc i cant have them reaching happily ever after too quickly </3 a series of hijinks ensue as the romeos attempt to woo the juliets, not limited to but including: princess arisa getting turned into a cat, the arrival of the older prince ayase koyuki, and some other things i will pull out of my hat tada
