Hello everyone! I'm EnraptureSins and bringing you my first requested (kinda) story :D So one of my frequent readers asked me to do one on Luna and Artemis and well, I couldn't ignore it (I honestly have never written one before) so I decided to go ahead and upload the first chapter. And no, this is not the story replacing Healing Fire. It was requested and therefore, I decided to publish it first. I am aiming for a minimum of 20 chapters, which shouldn't be a problem with the plot I have planned for this story c: All chapters will be 350 words, no more or less.
*This story focuses on Luna/Artemis in an alternative universe to the SM manga (some things will be taken from it though).

"I was t-too careless and k-kindhearted," Mau faintly laughed. "T-trust is nothing b-but…a curse…"
Those were Princess Mau's final words before the last bit of life drained from her eyes. Before she finally returned to the Galaxy Cauldron. And Luna? Luna cried every night, every time she passed by her chambers, and every mention of her name. No one had found the culprit, or put too much effort into finding the murderer, but Luna swore to find the answers herself.
Unfortunately, she didn't have the "freedom" to move around anymore. The Princess had long ago told her that if something were to happen to her that she would place Luna on the throne. Luna thought she was joking, but by some will or way, her she was to be crowned the new Princess of Mau in five days. Since Mau's death, a week ago, she had been through lessons after lessons and meeting after meeting, and the end of each day, Luna was too tired to walk straight.
To make matters worse, she had a personal bodyguard, Diana, who stuck to her like glue, "Mau…" she sighed and bit her lip. Her tail swayed to the side. "how did you deal with all of this?"
How did the golden lioness overcome the pressure and stress?
Luna folded her hands in her lap and a long, dreary sigh escaped her lips, "Lady Luna, I believe no feline can deal with such a heavy burden," Diana meowed, sitting beside her. "Your rule will become much easier with time. I'm sure of it."
Luna shook her head, "So many laws and courtesies to remember, so many names and statuses I can never forget. It's too much," she muttered, her black ears twitched.
"Then take it step by step. No feline said you have to learn it all in a week, Your Highness," Diana smiled. "You are of this planet's princess, instead of them ordering you, it should be you."
Luna cocked her eyebrow. She did have a good point, but had this been how it was always done?
Pft, now I gotta change the summary on my profile lol I was going for a different idea and then...this chapter happened. Wasn't what I was trying to start off with. Welp, this will be my only time saying this, but any reviews would appreciated! Until the next update!
P.S: Thanks to FlareUpForRatchet for requesting the idea!
