Where do I belong?
Land of Power is a very interesting place. It has people with super powers and is giftedly smart. Well the royalties and its servants know and does trainings to improve those "powers" but outside the palace where normal villagers live are people with sleeping "powers". The reason behind those secrets is because the King wishes to keep their royal bloodline and wouldn't like the idea of "the strongest "power" will rule the land".
The palace has indeed dark secrets. Well apparently one of those is that they fear one servant that might become a threat.
-Flashback-
"Your Highness, the child is indeed a threat" The right hand of the King said.
"Why would you say that?" The King asked.
"She has a powerful power apart from the shield/nullify. It is the power to copy it"
"Is a threat but it is nice to have her here and all we have to do is not let her now"
"Yes, your Highness"
-End of Flashback-
The said servant is ten-year-old girl. She is Mikan Sakura, a energetic, charming, friendly, smart yet sometimes dense. She likes Josh a thirteen year old servant boy. He has black hair and brown orbs. He is very kind to her though deep inside she knows that he only sees her as a little sister or just a friend. She is the servant of Princess Elena which is three years older than her
Princess Elena is not as pretty and smart as Mikan. She has black long hair and eyes. She envies her that result to bullying Mikan. She is spoiled by his father and really likes to be the center of attention. Though she is very loved by the King, her mother, the Queen is giving compliments to Mikan which piss her the most. She has a bad attitude and when it's Mikan, the bad turns to worse. She is very not attentive when her tutor teaches her because she always day dream about her secret crush on Josh, a mere thirteen year old servant boy.
"Princess? What's the answer to my question?" Asked Miss Elizabeth, the tutor of Princess Elena.
"Ah… I don't know?" Answered the Princess not ashamed that she is not listening and was merely day dreaming for 3 hours now and it's almost sunset.
"Oh no" mumbled the tutor after a heavy sigh. She is aware that the Princess is not listening to her but she asked the question anyway. She already knows that she is wasting her time teaching the Princess But she came because she knows that Mikan is there to listen to her lessons while seated on the floor a few feet away from the near the door. She knows that Mikan is interested in listening stories about history and computing numbers even though her task is to teach the Princess one-on-one.
"Mikan, do you know the answer?" Asked Miss Elizabeth while hoping she knew so that her heavy heart will be lightened.
"Umm…" said Mikan. Unsure if she should answer because the Princess is glaring at her with an intensity that can kill. Well, that is if looks could kill.
"72" answered Mikan softly with a nervous smile but was heard by Miss Elizabeth. She couldn't take the look of the tutor with pleading eyes.
"Great. Thank you. Oh no. It's almost sunset and our time is up, Princess. Thank you for your time and please don't forget do your homework. Good bye" bade Miss Elizabeth and exited through the door with a smile either for the answer Mikan gave or the tutoring time is up.
"You!" Princess Elen shouted while pointing at Mikan with an angry expression after the tutor exited.
"You really are a show off, aren't you?" the envious Princess continued.
"I'm very sorry" Mikan apologized, quite unsure if she had done wrong.
"Well, as your punishment you shall do my homework from now on" P. Elena said.
"Gomen, but I cannot do that. It's beyond my duties as your servant" Mikan said while thinking 'why should I do that? I may be a servant but she mustn't make me do it.'
"Why won't you? I am the Princess and you are a just an abandoned servant. You must do what I say because that is your punishment given by me for being a show off and attracting the attention of the Queen. You are just trash." P. Elena criticized her.
"I'm sorry for being a servant but please don't treat me like trash because I am also a human just like Hime-sama" Mikan said hurt and angry while looking down. 'I don't like it! I don't like a person who treats others like trash just because of status!'
"ho ho ho. You really are friends with her. You have some nerve to answer back and piss me off. Do want to meet the same fate as her? Punished and swallowed by the Portal?" with an evil scheme P. Elena said while concentrating herself to use her power. After a while a sword appeared above her palm as she tightly grabs it.
"What? You did those to Hotaru? How could you?" Mikan asked nearly crying knowing that the Hime has the power of weapon she shivered at the thought that Hotaru being slashed by one of those sharp blades.
"Oh, you're so clueless! She has some attitude problems that's why I punished her. But I didn't knew that she would fight back and did you know what father believed? He believed that Hotaru is a murderer and let her being swallowed by the portal. Pretty tragic isn't it?" P. Elena told her the reason why Hotaru suddenly disappeared from the Kingdom.
"You're sick! You're not rightful to be a Princess!" Mikan truthfully said what she wanted to say.
"Oh. Pretty brave, are we? Now I'll let you suffer what your friend did!" P. Elena said and slashed the right arm of Mikan, which is now bleeding.
Mikan was scared, confused, furious and shocked to know about that stuff. She is now inside a bluish sphere which shields her from being more hurt than she is already now. She is crying to her heart's content knowing that her best friend was badly hurt before throwing her to the portal. Princess Elena was still attacking her and is now sensing that her shield is getting stronger every second.
"I see that you're afraid to be like your friend, eh? If only you saw your friend's almost lifeless body. But too bad I'm sure you'll also be like that" Said the proud Princess boasting that her power is stronger than the emotionally and physically hurt girl.
But what happened next was unexpected. The blush sphere began to glow and before her eyes she saw Mikan holding two sharp swords, one of each hand. Mikans eyes shows anger and hatred towards the Princess that made your Highness shocked and afraid of what might happen. Mikan glared at her.
"You are low and despicable, Princess Elena" Mikan said with coldness as tears still falls from her cold brown orbs. Being swallowed by evil now, she unconsciously slashed the right portion of the sleeve of the Princess.
"Ahhh!" was cry for help of the Princess that is now on the floor with a horrid expression.
After the scream, Mikan was now back to reality. She was now confused as to what happened and how she got the swords. Looking at the Princess sprawled on the floor, her eyes widened.
'What have I done?'
'How did this?'
'Was it me?'
'I don't clearly remember?'
'What am I?'
Many questions appeared in her head as she was confused and has completely forgotten the bleeding arm.
"Hime-sama, I… I…" Mikan looked at the ground, unable to find the proper words as the Hime was still on the floor.
"Hime-sama!" the door banged open as three servants heard her scream for help.
The three was shocked to see what was happening before them.
A girl with long brown hair was standing a few meters ahead of them her back facing them. She has sharp swords each of her arms and is wounded at her right arm; being familiar with her suit they can conclude that she is a servant inside the palace. Across the brunette was Princess Elena sprawled on the floor with the look of terror on her eyes while holding a sword on her trembling right hand.
There was only one thing that in their mind.
'Who is this murderer?'
