Sorrowful cries echoed in an old empty church. A young woman knelt beside a black coffin as tears streamed down her eyes. She laid her head on top of the coffin while caressing its top of the closed casket.

The person she loved has just died a few days ago... He was murdered.

The funeral ended an hour ago but she refused to leave the coffin just yet. She continued to sob miserably until a shadow towered over her. "Rin." A gentle voice called softly. She turned around to see her twin brother staring down at her, in his hand was a pale white tulip. "Len..." She murmured.

He gave a small smile before offering her his hand. "A lady shouldn't be kneeling on the ground like that, Rin." He said. Rin stared at his hand for a minute before slowly taking it. Len pulled her to her feet and smiled at her so brightly that it was completely out of place and very inappropriate to the atmosphere as depressing as this.

"Here." He offered the white tulip in his hand. "You don't need to cry Rin...I'm sure he's in a better place now."

Rin frowned sadly and tried wiping away the tears from her eyes and cheeks but was only replaced with new tears. "Why did this had to happen Len? Why did he have to die like this?" Len frowned as well. "I can't answer those questions Rin." He muttered. "There are just somethings we can't change but don't worry, you'll find love again."

Rin closed her eyes as streams of water fell. She fell into Len's chest and sobbed, one hand gripping the fabric of Len's dark shirt while the other held the tulip tightly. Len gently embraced the mourning girl, softly caressing her hair as a grin stretched widely on his lips.

"Its best if you forget all about it."

Half a month later, Rin announced that she had a new lover.

Len snorted at the news. It was no surprise that she had a new romance so quickly...Men always adored her after all.

Being the daughter of a king, it was natural for her to be surrounded by men. She was known for extraordinary beauty and gracefulness, that there was never a lack of admires for her so the news that she had found a brand new lover was nothing to be surprised of.

Len leaned back against his red velvet chair comfortably and began flipping the pages of a book in his hands without actually reading it or even caring about it. A small smirk started forming in his lips as he thought about the news.

What everyone doesn't know about Rin...was that she was cursed.

All the men she ever fell in love with would always ended up in a tragic death. Whether it was by an accident or murder, it didn't matter. They would always end up being six feet underground a few weeks after she's been with them.

Len wasn't sure if anyone noticed that tragic cycle but that didn't stop men from crowding around her and it irritated him to no end. Being Rin's twin, he knew much more about her than anyone.

Len glanced over at the red tulip on his desk and picked it from the vase, running his hand on the petals. Tulips were one of Rin's favorite flowers since their mother adored tulips the most. It became a symbol of her family and had a whole garden of this flowers.

He played with the flower for a bit as he wondered what Rin might be doing at the moment. She was probably with this lover of her...

In the past when they were both children, Rin would often follow him around like a lost puppy and would almost never leave his side unless someone pried her away. She would often cling to him so closely that they were almost inseparable.

Len was never annoyed or disturbed with Rin's attachment to him. In fact, he absolutely relished the attention Rin would give him. He enjoyed spending time with his twin and wished nothing more to than to spend everyday living in peace wih her...that was until...

Len glared at the tulip before crushing it in his hands. He disliked the thought of his dear Rin being with someone else besides him.

"Oji-sama." He looked up to see one of the maids, Miki standing next to the opened door of his office. "The King has requested for your presence in the study room." Len sighed and nodded. "Thank you Miki." He stood up and began walking toward the door. Len paused right next to Miki for a moment before turning fully towards her. "Miki, I have a question to ask you."

Miki stood straight and looked up in confusion. "You have heard about Rin's new...lover right?" She blinked then nodded. "Then...can you tell me about this new lover of hers?" He asked.

Miki tilted her head, confused of why he want to know through her when he could ask Rin about it but she didn't ask and comply. "I don't have all the details my lord...but I heard he's the son of a viscount who had recently arrived here for business but that was all I heard."

Len hummed thoughtfully at the information. So he's the son of viscount, in other words someone below rank. He sighed and shook his head in disapproval, Rin really has no taste for men.

"I see...thank you Miki." Len said as he walked out of the room with Miki following but paused once again. "Oh and Miki..." Miki straightened up, ready to receive orders. "Could you get me my small sickle...I plan to get some flowers from the gardens."

Miki nodded and bowed before sprinting ahead to get his things ready. Len smirked as well leisurely strolled down the halls, wondering what he should do today.

The petal of the crushed tulip scattered in the room like stains of blood as the window of an open window blew.

A/N: To be honest...I wasn't planning to rewritten this but then I just thought 'what's the harm?'

Anyways Hello everyone! Its been a while. I was really not planning to rewrite this story but then I was listening to the song out of boredom and just thought...wouldn't it be nice if I rewrite the story the same way as the song plot? So I just ended up writing this.

The next chapter might posted in a couple of hours or maybe tomorrow who knows but it will come early since Im just rewriting a bit.

I hope you like this rather short chapter...even though its sort of the same with my other story.

Well thats it for now. See ya.
