Haihai! This is constantSerendipity with my very first work- a story-iezed (.-.?) version of Daughter of Evil. *sighs* this chapter is so short _ haha well that's enough of me! ^^ I hope you enjoy!
"When you grow up, you will be in charge of this kingdom," my dad said to me. He gestured towards the window, and I followed his gaze. I saw the village and all the village people. They were scrambling out of their houses, preparing for the day. The old man in charge of the markets began to open up the shops one by one, his children and grandchildren assisting him in doing so. Mountains loomed over the village from far, far away. Even further away, I saw emerald forests and a sapphire ocean. The world beyond the village was beautiful, but to me, the village was the most beautiful thing in the world. I would be in charge of the village when I became older, and Father said that I had to love it with all my heart. So I did.
Nine chimes came from the bell tower, and I counted along as they passed. "One, two, three…" When I finished, I turned to my father, who was in his bed. "Will it all be mine?" I asked.
He gave me a simple smile and a laugh while he extended his hand out to me. I grabbed it as if it was the most important thing in the world and I was afraid it would get away. "Yes," he said, pulling me into a hug, "this will all be yours." I fell asleep snuggling close to my father's body, and his hands running through my hair.
"Len?" you call out from your balcony. "LEN?" You fiddle with your pillow as you wait for his reply. It's yellow and black and has your initials on it: RK. It is one of the gifts your former step-father bought you in an attempt to win your approval, but like everything else it didn't succeed. Eventually he left, not being able to put up with you, leaving your mom alone with you and your twin brother, Len. You're actual father died almost 5 years ago, when you and Len were 7. Your mother remarried 2 years later to the wretched man that you spent 2 whole years trying to get rid of. You're not mad with your mom for marrying him. After all, it's difficult for a queen to rule alone, but you still wish she wouldn't try to replace your real father.
Your thoughts are interrupted when a head pokes out from behind the half-closed door. "Yeah. What do you want Rin?" he asks.
You give him a look to let him know you're not happy with what he said. "Now, Len, is that any way to talk to your future queen?" you remark, almost offended by your brother's tone. Almost.
He walks onto the balcony and stands in front of you. "Well, you may be a spoiled princess, but you're still my little sister," he says with a laugh. I'll talk to you how I-"
"Older sister," you say, cutting him off. "And I am not spoiled!" You make a pouty face at him and turn around so that you're only half-facing him.
He raises an eyebrow at you and smiles. "Well I don't know about you not being spoiled, but you are my older sister by about 4 minutes. But that doesn't change the fact that we're twins."
You open your mouth to respond but close it again. What can I say to that? You pause to think for a dadent, and Len notices your silence.
"And now you can't even think of a comeback." He bows to you, making sure you can see the devious look on his face. "You, my princess, are amazing."
"Shut Up!" you yell, laughing and throwing your pillow at him. "I called you here for a reason!"
"Oh? And whatever would that be?" he asks you, sitting in the seat across from you.
"Well," you start," I am hungry. I think it's time for a snack." You catch him rolling his eyes at the thought of another snack, but since you are a kind princess, you decide to let it slide. "I'm not sure what I want though."
Len goes quiet for a couple moments, contemplating his options. "How about we go down to the village and buy some fruit?" he suggests. "We could buy some apples and I could carve them into little animals the way that you like."
You smile at this idea. Your brother has always known how to make you smile. "Okay, that sounds fine," you say trying to keep a straight face. "But we need to hurry because there's something I need to do later."
"Yes, of course, my amazing princess." He flashes an evil smile towards you and you burst out laughing again.
"You're not going to let me forget that, are you?"
"Probably not," he says giving you a wink and running ahead of you to get your outside clothes.
