Disclamier: Sadly, I do not own Mai-Hime or any of the characters, or else there would be more of ShizNat.
The Black knight
Her elegant black horse ran swiftly through the forest. The peace knights were left behind, far behind while she was ahead. They were no match for her, throughout the kingdom, she was known as the black knight with a fine of $7,000,000 on her head. Her black armor was stainless; and was forged out of the finest metal out of the five kingdoms. Underneath the black helmet is unknown to most people as she rides by. She jumped off the cliff, leaving puzzled guards. She landed and strode off, disappearing into the darkness. She would never look back, mot after what had happened years ago.
At the royal gardens, there stood a chestnut haired woman with red crimson eyes. She was known throughout the kingdom as the 'goddess from heaven' for she was the daughter of the king. She had heard of the black knight from her maids and servants. Because of the rumors, her father had her stay inside the palace walls. Her favorite place was the garden that homed her favorite plants. She walked up to a small light pink flower and gazed at the beauty that the flower held. She was observing a small bee take nectar until a servant had came for her. He had blonde hair and was timid when he was around her. She followed him and asked "Tate, where are you taking me?" "Mistress, please forgive me for interrupting your business, but your father wishes to speak with you. Please follow me." She nodded and followed the lightly golden haired man into the throne room. On the walls, there were pictures of previous kings and queens before her father, and soon her. There sat a man with the same chestnut hair as her, he had blue eyes, and a small beard. He waved his hand to the servant and he bowed, then turned around and left. The doors closed and she stood there, waiting for her father to speak. "Shizuru, there have been more reports of the black knight. We have to ensure your safety and that your engagement to Reito of the southern kingdom will continue as planned. The wedding will be held the following week." "I understand father." He motioned her to leave and she did. She walked up to her room and sat down on her bed. She let a small sigh escape and she stood up, and walked out to her balcony. She gazed at the village outside the palace walls. She thought to herself, my father has been afraid of the black knight from the knights had first seen him. I don't feel any fear from what I have heard, but I wonder why? She started to wonder to herself.
The doors flew open, disrupting the princess thoughts when Tate came running in, panting heavily. M-mistress! The castle is under attack! The king has provided a carriage to the southern kingdom. You must hurry! He said. She nodded and followed the servant. The walls were shaking as she made her way down to the front of the castle. There was a small carriage waiting for her with two white horses. The driver was a busty light redhead woman named Mai. She got up and jumped to the carriage door and opened it, urging the princess inside. She was told to be seated and Mai gave her a note from her father. She untied the red string and unraveled it.
Dear Shizuru,
If you heard by now, the castle is under attack. I must get you to safety so I am sending you to Reito's palace. They have already been told before hand and are waiting for your arrival. I have also ordered a squad of my strongest men to protect you. I will be there afterwards to make sure that you are okay. I will see you at his castle shortly.
~Your loving father~
She held the note to her chest as Mai drove off. She looked back through the window, hoping that her father will make it out okay.
I will finish the rest as soon as possible. in the next chapter, it will focus on Natsuki. Please review! thanks
