She sat at her throne and watched as her jester goofed-off like he normally would. It would make her laugh her head off. But it wasn't the same since she met Him. He was Prince who didn't care what other people thought about him. He spoke his mind and wasn't afraid to make comments if that dress or royal tux, was not looking good on them. One of the Imperial Guards walked up in a hurry and gave a quick low bow. His saggy black hair fell in his face and he quickly brushed it out of his face.
"Princess…" He began. "Prince Maxwell is here to see you…"
The Princess was getting impatient with Leo she hated the way he would take his time. But she couldn't deny that he always kept her on her toes.
"Do you want me to let him in?" Leo asked.
"Yes," she hissed and didn't mean too. "Gomen… Don't let the Prince wait!"
The room buzzed with excitement. All the servants were buzzing around fixing the tables and filling them with food. Prince Maxwell had left a month ago after signing a peace treaty with her kingdom. She hadn't so much as given a hint of a smile since he left and now she would see him again.
The doors flew open with her Imperial Captain of the guard, Leo, and his men forming the tip of a triangle. They kneeled in front of their Princess; Leo once again stood up and announced.
"Princess Hilde…" He said slowly turning around and giving the Prince a hard and stern glare before continuing. "Your guest has arrived… I present you with Prince Duo Maxwell."
He bowed once again and his men left with the blink of an eye. The Prince looked her for minuet and smiled. She had long black that had pulled into a ponytail that fell a little ways below the knees. She had on dark purple dress that would drag on the ground if she would ever get out of her throne.
"Please eat anything you want, Prince Maxwell." She offered politely.
"No can do," He said patting his belly. "What was with your Captain of the guard?"
"What do you mean?" The confused Princess asked.
"Well… He gave me a nasty look when he turned his back to you…"
"He's like brother more than a guard… Prince Maxwell gomen…"
"Pu-lease! Just call me Duo… No 'Prince' or 'Mr.' Either!"
"Same here!" Hilde teased back at the young but handsome prince.
He was dressed for what looked like to be one of his war out-fits. Hilde thought it suited him just perfect. He had the cape to match his black suit. She smiled.
"Want to join for a walk in the garden maze?"
"Sure, but one problem… I get lost in your castle! And it's a pain in the ass to get out! Excuse my royal mouth!"
"You're excused…"
She ran through the castle with Duo behind her occasionally cussing here and there and saying he was sorry for his royal mouth. All she did was pick up the pace, once they were out side he had chased her into the garden. He had taken a wrong turn and got lost. She knew where she was and that was in the middle of the maze. She kept on running until her dress got ripped. She stopped and tore the rest off and that made like a thigh-high skirt. But she didn't care and kept up her pace as before. Duo found he way to the middle of the maze and saw the ripped purple dress. He grabbed the material and ran back the castle with only to bump into Leo.
"Where's the Princess?" He demanded.
"Keep your pants on!" Duo tried to get past him but he was taller and had more of build than him, at this point.
"I'll ask you again! Where's the Princess?"
"I don't know…"
"Arrest him!" Leo demanded. "He's part of the rebel faction! Don't let him out of your site!"
"MATTE!" Duo yelled. "Don't I get to defend my self?!"
"Kuso gaki!" Leo smacked him. "You have no right! You killed…"
"Dare da?" Hilde screamed over the enraged Leo.
"HE… THOGUHT… I… KILLED…"
Leo punched him in the gut and Duo doubled over in pain.
"LEO! Stop it! You're hurting him!"
Leo smacked the Princess across the face and turned his attention back to Duo.
"HILD! Are… You… Okay?" Duo asked as he tried to crawl to her. Buy only to kick in the stomach by Leo. The Princess began to cry.
"You're not getting close the Princess!"
Hilde stood up and grabbed the sword out of his sheath. She held it like a professional.
"God… I pray to you to forgive me for my sins and I want you to know I sorry. I'll do anything you tell me! Please forgive me!"
Hilde held the sword above her head."PRINCESS! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!" Leo cried.
"Gomen nasai…" She mumbled. "I know what I'm doing! But do you? Is the question. You're with the rebels and you're getting the plans for them! That's why I never did anything! Because I knew there was leak, and of all people… I thought you were better than that! Gomen nasai!"
"WHY IN THE HELL DO YOU KEEP SAYING YOUR SORRY?!" Leo yelled.
"Because… I think there are other things to be done other than war! Not to result in war! I've seen too many people die! I hate to think that I will have to take a life because of the war! But maybe this will stop the rebels, if I get rid of you personally!"
Princess Hilde stabbed Leo in the chest.
"Bad choice Princess… You just put a stronger person in his place…" A voice said from behind.
