"Pish-posh!" Britanny said. "It's no problem. We've ben frieds for a long time. hell, you helped us out a lot. It's the least we can do."
Nodding her head again, Tyr felt lucky tohave such good friends.
Walking down the hall, Britanny stopped at the door and knocked first. "Muffin, you decent?"
"Yes!" Came Stryyp's voice from inside. And with that, Britanny opened the door and allowed Tyr to enter the room.
Stryyp, who was sitting on the edge of th bed, sat straight up. "Princess Tyr. Such a pleasent surprise. What brings you to our humble home?" Stryyp then noticed something else. "If I may ask, where are Garen and Tanis? Those two rarely leave your side."
Sighing, the Atlantian Pricness answered, "Well, I'd rather have you hear about what's going on before I tell my people. And I while I trust Garen and tanis, I want them to find out at the same time as the others than beforehand."
"Soudns reasonable." Stryyp said. "So, what is on your mind?"
"Well, you see, it's like this..." Tyr began, "I found out that before father was assassinated by my brother Gyyphon, he had made an arrangement with a human male."
"Oh?" Britanny asked, siting down to hear this. "What kind of arrangement?"
Princess Tyr started to blush considerably, but for her, as for all Atlantians, it caused her face to turn a deeper shade of blue. "It seems that the human had stolen a considerable amount of riches from Atlantis and was to be punished. He had gotten out of his execution by promising to marry his son to the King of Atlantis's daughter... To me..."
"WHAT!?" Britanny yelled, her eyes wide. "Why would your father accept such an idiotic agreement?"
Nodding his head, Stryyp said, "I am inclined to agree. This man stoled wealth from your people. So why would your father want to bring that man into the family?"
Sighing, Tyr answered, "Simple. The man was powerful. Very powerful. While he was worthless to the culture, an heir that had teh same potential, but could be formed to Atlantis's culture was a prospect that was far too promising for my father to turn down. So the promise was made, and the man was allowed to keep his life and the jewels as a dowry..."
"This is INSANE!" Britanny screeched. "There's no way you canm allow yourself to be suckered ino this!"
"I am inclined to agree." Stryyp said. "If no one else knows about this arrangement, I sggest you forget all about it."
Nodding her head to acknowledge Stryyp's idea, Princess Tyr answered with, "I know... And I was going to... But then I read the name of the man and it got me thinking..."
"Thinking?" Stryyp asked.
"Yes." Tyr answered. "The man that set up this arranged marriage was a man named 'Genma Saotome'..."
"GENMA SAOTOME!?" Both Stryyp and Britanny yelled.
"Yes." Tyr answered. "I had met Ranma Saotome a few times, and know him to be a good person, but... I remmeber he told me about similar things his father did to him and... Is Ranma's father named Genma?"
Placing a hand over his face, Stryyp just nodded his head and groaned affirmative.
Britanny on the other hand was seething in rage. Ranma was her friend, always kind to her. And here hi father went and got him engaged AGAIN! "I can't believe he sold Ranma off again!" Britanny started, but soon blinked in surprise. "Wait a minute, this's Genma we're talking about! Of course he'd do something this desipicable!"
"So you really think Ranma is my fiance?" Tyr asked.
"It's VERY likely." Stryyp answered. Taking his hand form his fac,e he asked, "Is there any proof you can think of? Do you have the document?"
Tyr sook her head. "No, I didn't take the document with m. I rehid it." After a moment, she said, "owever, to make sure that the pact was kept, the contract states that Genma was tattooed on his back, over his right scapula. He was given the fish symbol of Atlantis to act as a constant reminder that Genma owed the Atlantians his life and his son."
Stryyp nodded his head. "If Genama Saotome has that tatoo, then we know he sold off Ranma again."
Punching her right fist into her open left palm, Britanny growled slightly. "First Archon, then Asrial, then Uriel, then Brianna screws him, and no Tyr? What next!? It seems like he's cursed to have women after him..."
Somewhere in Penny's backyard, the Zardonian Princess, Leeana sneezed.
