Chapter 1: A Princesses Everyday Routine

The princess was not really in a happy mood this morning. Being kept up by her brother, the prince, all night: She could deal with that. Her servants waking her up in the middle of the night because of strange noises: She could deal with that. The fact that she might lose her crown and become a peasant: She could not deal with that.

The night before, when the princess was getting ready for bed, she heard servants in the hallway talking about how she, Princess Rin Kagamine, would lose her crown and become a peasant very soon if the townspeople stormed the castle and took control of the kingdom.

Naturally, the princess did not worry about such things, as rumors like these spread most of the time. Although, the worry in the servants voices sounded like what they said was true, and was not a rumor or lie.

The princess sighed to herself as she finally decided to climb out of her bed and over to her closet, which was about six to seven closets larger than a regular one. The young princess's room was about five sizes larger than a peasant's home. Lined with stuffed animals that she had received as a child, paintings of her hung her walls, and her bed stood at the very center of it all. The tops of her bed poles were draped with yellow-orange silk curtains, hanging down in front of it to look as if though nothing was beyond the silk. Her bed sheets were woven by the best weavers of the kingdom. The walls were pained a light orange color mixed with yellow. Next to her bed was her nightstand, a vase of red roses sat there looking as if they would never wilt.

Princess Rin came out of her closet, wearing a long yellow dress with black laced sleeves, her hair brushed neatly and a small white bow tucked in her banana-blonde hair. The princess's blue-green eyes sparkled as sunlight from her half open window shined on them.

Rin, being as polite as she could, called for Sora Nukumori, the maid of the castle. Sora appeared at the door in an instant, asking in a calm voice, "Yes, Princess Rin?"

Rin smiled at the red-haired girl. Sora was sixteen years old, two years old than she was. The girl had been picked up off the streets by one of the servants while they were in the town. Sora was polite and generous, and although she never would admit it, Sora had a crush on the butler, Seiji Hikaroa. "Yes, I did Sora. Do you mind making my bed for me? I have to go into town today with Prince Len."

Sora nodded her head in understanding before bowing slightly. "Yes princess." With that, the sixteen year old set to work on making the princess's bed.

Rin left her room shortly afterwards and as she walked down the hallway, noticed prisoners being led toward the dungeon by two of the palace guards. The princess didn't even look at them, as she had already knew what they had done.

They had tried somehow to plot killing her or her brother.

Pushing that thought aside, she arrived at the throne room, where her brother Prince Len, was waiting for her. Len wore his banana-blonde hair in a short ponytail to not be mistaken as a girl. Today, he wore a black overcoat with a white shirt underneath, black pants and shoes, and was wearing his crown over his head. Rin had forgotten hers, as she didn't want to damage it any more than she already had.

Len looked up from the ground to notice his sister approach and said in a soft voice, "Good morning Rin."
"Good morning Len." She answered.

"You do know that today is the day we go into town, correct?"
"Of course I knew."

The prince raised his eyebrow at her as he looked at the dress before speaking again, "If you knew we were going, why did you wear such a fancy dress today?"

"Am I not allowed to dress nice?" She questioned him back.

Len shook his head before speaking again, "Never mind. Let's just get going before it gets to be noon. We must be back by five o'clock."

Rin nodded and turned around, beginning to walk toward the palace doors that would allow them into the town. Len followed his sister toward the palace doors, calling for a few servants to lock the doors behind them and open them back up at 5 o'clock.

As the servants opened the door for them to leave, they walked cautiously out the doors. As soon as they were out, the doors shut behind them with a solid thud. The princess and prince were now left alone at the front entrance to their palace, and not expecting anything to happen at the town, walked toward their destination.
