The country of yellow was a terrible kingdom of poverty and inhumanity. The ruler of this kingdom was a 14 year old girl named Rin, the most selfish princess the people had ever known. They would constantly go to her and beg for food or money, but she would unfeelingly deny them, for her needs were much more important than theirs, was it not?

Despite the hate bestowed upon her by her people, she had one loyal servant, without a name, that catered to her every whim. He too was 14, and they both had blonde hair and green eyes. The evil of the princess seemed to have no effect on him. He was always smiling, especially when speaking to his princess. He could be seen with the princess wherever she went.

Meiko, a citizen of the kingdom, had a tragedy to deal with in her recent past. Her father had been a guard for the princess, but when he displeased her majesty, she had no need for him any longer. The death of her father hit Meiko very hard. No matter how much she pleaded with the princess, she was still treated with complete indifference, and had to start to living in poverty.

Meanwhile, in a country of green, a beautiful girl with green hair named Miku was walking through a field. Closing her eyes with joy for a moment, she was tripped by a root and lost her balance, falling onto the ground. Immediately she found herself being lifted by strong hands. As she looked up, she recognized Haku, a pariah with white hair, frequently mocked by others.

"Thank you!" Miku said, smiling. She saw Haku's face show surprise. Haku knew very well that Miku didn't have to be nice to her. Everything that could have been different about the two of them, was.

"Why are you being nice to me?" Haku asked. "Do you feel pity for me, because I am not as great as everyone else with their beautiful green hair?" Haku said this while looking down ashamedly. Miku saw the sadness in her eyes, and couldn't believe her friends had caused this girl to feel this way. She reached out and hugged Miku.

"I think you are the most amazing person here," she said softly with sincerity. Haku was overcome with joy. She had been praying for a friend, and her prayer had been answered. Tears flowed down her cheeks.

At the same time, in the country of blue, a handsome prince named Kaito was preparing to visit the country of green. He was the object of Princess Rin's attention, but he was not aware of that yet. Steadily, he was sailing on towards the country of green.

At a sea on the edge of the yellow country, near the castle, the loyal servant could be seen at the water's edge with a little glass bottle. His princess was watching from further up on the sand. He gently placed the bottle in the water and watched the water toss it around before carrying it away into deeper waters. He watched it for a little bit, then turned to his princess and bowed. She too then turned and started heading back to the castle with her servant right behind. This took place every day.

In the green country, Haku and Miku found a job together as servants for a merchant woman in the city. They were happy together, and were always smiling. Then about a month into the job, a man of blue hair was seen in town. Miku went off to meet him one day, and when she came back, she was smiling and began to tell Haku that she and the prince were so perfect for each other. Haku began to worry about her friendship being taken away, but she had no idea of what was to come.

In the yellow country, Meiko decided to go plea with the princess again because she was having so many concerns about her and her friends not having enough food. However, this was not a good idea, for she found that the princess's servant was gone on a trip. Since he was the only one that could put the princess in a good mood, the likeliness of finding favor with the princess was very low. The princess ridiculed Meiko and sent her away, leaving the peasant with a smoldering anger in her heart.

The servant was making his way to the country of green to find the prince of the blue country. As he was walking through a village, he saw the prince, who was with Miku. The servant was shocked for a moment. The girl's smiling face and utter beauty made him fall in love at first sight. But he knew he had a favor to do for Rin. He approached the prince and handed him a note. He announced who it was from and then departed, but not without a second glance at the beautiful girl, who smiled politely at him.

Kaito returned to the merchant woman's house, where he had requested to stay to be with Miku, and read over the note. Princess Rin was asking for his hand in marriage. However, he knew he could never love anyone except Miku. He proceeded to write out a polite decline to the young princess of the yellow country. Haku had seen everything that happened and felt sadness as she knew this meant the prince would probably take Miku away to live with him in his kingdom.

Len took the note from the prince and returned to his princess's kingdom with it, hoping it held good news for Rin. He watched her expressions as she read it to herself. He saw her eyes grow sad, and then she looked up at him. Her stare was cold and empty.

"Murder the women with green hair," she said quietly. Her servant looked back at her, horrified. "Did you not hear me?" she asked dangerously. "I want the country of green badly stirred." She said this with no emotion, but that was worse than if she had been yelling. Her servant felt his heart sink, but said nothing. He turned and went to go organize the army.

Back in the country of green, a rumor was spread that the yellow country was going to declare war on them. Haku lived in fear of what was to come. She realized that it was because of Miku. She knew they would come for Miku. She wanted to hide Miku. She wanted to take Miku and run far away.

Somehow Miku lived contentedly as if nothing were happening, continuing to talk to the prince daily. Then the battle came. The country of green was a peaceful country, and had very little resistance to the attack. Citizens, families, villages: all were destroyed.

Then a hooded figure came to the house where Haku and Miku resided. Haku answered, and fear grew in her eyes. Under the hood, the same fear was hidden in the blond haired servant's eyes. Miku came to the door, and despite Haku's arguing that it wasn't fair, Miku went outside, and followed the servant to a well.

Meiko had heard of the princess declaring war on the country of green. She remembered when the princess had killed her father. Now the idea of so many families being killed just because of the selfish princess's love life made her ache with sadness, but even worse was her fear that her friend Miku would be killed.

Haku watched Miku follow the cloaked figure off to the well, and ran off to find somewhere else to stay, sobbing as she heard the screams of soldiers and innocent citizens. The servant walked straight ahead without looking to either side, and Miku had her head bowed, following quietly. When the servant turned, Miku looked at him with a smile, resigned to her fate. However, the servant did not kill her.

"Please stay here. She doesn't know you're here..." the servant glanced around before continuing. "The princess I mean. Please, promise me you'll stay here until the war's over." Miku nodded, slightly taken aback that she would be allowed to live.

The war continued on in the green country, and Rin spent long walks in her palace listening to servants and waiting for the one of her likeness to return. He had already come back once, but a rumor had floated by that the servant had hidden the one girl Rin really wanted dead. Nothing escaped her ear, and it was foolish of her servant to think so.

For a single moment, Rin felt a small pang of regret. Was she really going to force her favorite servant to kill that girl? He obviously held affection for her, otherwise he wouldn't have hidden her. But since when had Rin ever put the desires of someone else before her own? She was queen after all.

The servant returned from the green country, signs of war showing in his demeanor. He walked up to Rin, who was sitting on her throne, and bowed. She smirked and handed him a glass bottle, the same type he placed in the sea every day he was present. He started to open the bottle, and then suddenly a small urgency was visible in Rin's eyes.

"Wait!" she said leaning forward, then relaxed again, "I just...please...read it somewhere else...I don't want to see..." She trailed off and closed her eyes. When she opened them, her servant was gone. "...Your pain," she whispered. She lowered her eyes, afraid her servant thought she didn't want to see him.
