Chapter 1: Betrayal

It was the day of Louise and Saito's wedding, the happiest day of both their lives or so he thought. It was after Saito had returned to help Louise fight for her world; he chose to fight out of love for her, and he had finally proven it to her. She accepted his proposal and her whole family agreed with the wedding after a day. So here it in a few moments Louise and Saito would be husband and wife, they would live together in there manor in Des Ornieres, they would be happy just like she had said. The time was 3:00 and Louise was about to show her face, so Saito stood up straight and waited. He waited and waited. The time was getting close to 4:30, and she was still a no show. Everyone was getting worried; what had happened? Why wasn't she here? Then the doors opened, it was Louise's father but there was no Louise. Instead he walked with a letter, a letter addressed to Saito.
Louise's father walked up to Saito and passed him the letter. He spoke a few words before joining his family. He had said, "Saito I'm sorry but this was her decision, and I assure you I had nothing to do with it." After hearing those words he started to worry and he opened the letter. It read:

Dear Saito
I am writing this letter to tell you that I don't love you, I thought I did. But in the end my heart told me otherwise; that is why I have decide that I will be leave Tristian for a few months giving you time to recover and return home.

I hope you have a happy life, after all you deserve one.

Sincerely, Louise 'your ex-master'

P.S. Unless you haven't already figured it out, I am relieving you from your duties as my familiar. Good bye.

After reading the letter he walked out of the church, he was not upset, he was angry. He was angry that Louise had played with his heart, angry that she had beaten him, tortured him and then had the guts to say she loved him. Just to leave him at the altar with nothing more than a letter to console him. Does her selfishness know no end?
As he left the church he crumbled up the letter, and threw it to the side. He then processed back to Des Ornieres. Once he was home he saw all of Louise thing were waiting outside. He looked once at the things and walked over to them. He saw two things in specific, the first was the flower she kept after their 'first wedding'. He picked it up and threw it on the ground causing the glass to smash and the flower to die. The second thing he saw was the small glass mansion that she treasured, he smashed this also. He later did the same with his own magical flower, and threw it in the same spot as hers. He did this so that she would see the pain that she had caused him.
He waited watching from his bedroom window.

He saw Louise carriage pack up next to her things. She stepped out of the carriage and saw the smashed glass and the now dead flowers. Tears had formed on her eyes and she look toward Saito in the window, he didn't move not even a flinch when she looked at him. All he did was give her a cold deadly stare that said 'my love for you is gone, now get out.' She quickly put the things into the carriage and ordered it to speed off. (No one would see or hear from her for the next 6 months.)

Later that night Saito was in bed, the happiest day of his life had turn into the worst. He then had a second thought, 'this room smells of Louise', after thinking this he left the room trying to find somewhere else to sleep. Then he remembered the room that she hated the most, a room that he knew he could find comfort in. So he made his way to the bolted room in the basement. With one swing of Derf; the wood split in half allowing access into the room. When he went through the second door and saw the bed; it looked far more comfortable than the one in the master bedroom, so he decide this was going to be his new bedroom. He got into bed and closed his eyes.

The princesses' chambers.

Princess Henrietta was combing her hair in the mirror that would allow access to Saito's manor, or at least used too until Louise made him bolt it up. With the thought of Saito and the pain he was probably going through; she closed her eyes and wished for it not be so. She loved Saito as much as he had loved Louise. With thoughts of Saito in her mind she reopened her eyes and could see the abandoned room of Des Ornieres in the mirror. She then decided to walk through it.

Des Ornieres secret room

Once the princess had walk through the mirror she looked around in hopes of finding Saito. She thought he was hiding and playing games, but after what he went through today, she knew it would not be the case. She then looked over to the bed, and saw him asleep, 'Do I join him, I mean he is single now and I still love him and I'm sure he wouldn't mind. Plus the bed does look awfully comfortable' she thought. With that thought she made up her mind and slipped into the covers. Once she was under the covers of the bed her eyes felt heavy, and as she felt her conscious slipping she felt his arms pull her closer to him. Her eyes shot open.
"Henrietta...I...you" Saito was talking in his sleep but hearing him dream about her instead Louise made her feel good. Henrietta thought 'how could her friend reject such a loving man,' though this made one thing crystal clear for her. She was definitely not going to make the same mistake; all she had to do was win his heart. Which after today it was not going be an easy task, or so she thought.

The next morning.

Saito woke up the next day to find a girl in his arms. At first he thought it was Siesta, but when he looked down he saw it wasn't; it was the princess. He was shocked and almost jumped out, but knew such a sudden action would awaken her in the rudest of ways. As his shock slowly calmed down he began to think about the girl in his arms. He wondered how she got here; until he remembered the mirror she had once used to get to this room. He remembered the conversations that they had the last time both of them had been here. He knew she cared for him, and knew one part of him had been always fond of her; however in the past Louise stood in the way of that. He would never be able to love Henrietta if Louise was still around, but now she was gone and for the first time he could see just how deeply Henrietta cared for him. But was it too soon to think of another, it was just the day after Louise abandoned him. His feelings were in turmoil. He knew what he felt for the princess and knew that his feelings were more than a simple fling, but was he moving too fast? As he looked down once again he knew this scene just confirmed in his mind what he knew all along; that there had always been an underlying connection between them. The way she fit in his arms and the peaceful expression on her face as she snuggled closer into his chest. As well as the sense of calmness going through him by just hold her. Calmness he had not felt ever since he left the Church yesterday afternoon. With that thought in mind Saito did the only thing he felt natural to do at this moment. He made a move, a simple yet efficient token of affection he used on Louise many time, he kissed Henrietta on the forehead. This of course made her to stir and wake up. "Good morning princess" Saito said with a smile.
The princess knew where she was, but she planned to wake up before him. Embarrassment took over, her face light up a deep red, and tried to escape from the room, "I...I'm sorry for intruding I'll be leaving now" Henrietta said rushing out the bed but then she felt a hand on her arm.
"You don't have to leave yet" Saito told her. Pulling her closer to him.
"Are you sure?" she asked. He nodded and she sat back down on the bed.
