Hello everyone! I'm taking a break from Faint and trying out this idea I had running through my mind. I have read fics that take place in a kingdom and stuff, and some of them are really good and most of them aren't your typical princess in a tower scenario. My favorite ones are where the princess is actually human and doesn't have "Rebelious princess syndrome"
Also note, that there is a "Forbidden romance" theme in here, so be warned. Also, if you have read my profile, it says that Rin and Akio are twins. They will always be twins. They will be romantically involved, but I will explain that more later on. If you don't read incest, then that's fine. I find it interesting, seeing how it all works out and stuff. I would never perform it on my siblings. That would be...disturbing. However, a long time ago, the greeks were marrying their siblings off and so were the Egyptians, so this is justified. Sort of.
The setting takes place in another time period, so yeah. No flames please. If you're going to flame me about Incest or whatever, I will delete it. It's my story and I can write my ideas out if I want to. I like supportive comments and constructive critiscm. Thank you.
A long long time ago,
There was a kingdom of unspeakable inhumanity,
And the person at the top was,
A handsome king of the age 30
-Prince of Evil, with editing by me, by Vocaloid
(15 years ago, June 9, an unknown year)
"Ohayo, Elecktra-sama."
A woman looked up from the blade she was sharpening, her long messy midnight colored hair getting in her face. She put the blade on the table and walked over to the man, whipping her hands on her indigo kimono. "Ohayo yourself. What have you come here for?"
The man took out a piece of parchment, clearing his throat as he began to read. "To Elecktra Merane, I have assigned you the task of raising and training my son, Akio. I wish for him to be trained in the ways of a swordsman. My reasons are none of your buisness, but it will all be explained later on. Refuse this task, and I will personally make sure you pay for it later. Make the right decision, and things will be easier. From the highest supremecy, King Bakura." The man finished.
Elecktra's jaw dropped, but she soon shut it and glared at the man. "Raise a baby? Much less the prince? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?"
The man winced. "No, but that's what the king wants. Don't shoot the messenger."
Elecktra rolled her eyes and watched as the man took a baby out from the side of his horse, handing the squirming bundle to Elecktra. She stared at the infant, seeing his brown eyes stare up at her emerald ones. "This is the Prince?"
"Yes, that is the youngest child of King Bakura."
"Youngest? He had another?"
"Yes, he sired twins. The Princess is at the palace with Queen Anzu."
Elecktra sighed and looked back at her small house. "I hope he knows what he's doing. I've already had a child, why would I want another?"
"Obviously, you're the only one he trusts with this task. Don't make too much of a fuss. Akio is a rather cute baby, isn't he?"
Elecktra looked down, not being able to resist the urge to smile at the gurgling baby. "I'll admit, he's going to be handsome one day, but I don't really want to raise two children. One is enough for me."
"I'm sure things will work out one day," the man stated as he mounted his horse and prepared to leave. Before he did, he gave her one last piece of information. "Akio must not know his real birth right. It is to remain a secret. You hear?"
Elecktra nodded, liking this idea less and less. What the hell was Bakura thinking? What was the point in all this? She moved some strands of hair back as the wind blew, looking at the man who had delivered the child to her. Eventually, he had returned back to the palace, leaving Elecktra alone with the ex baby Prince. Wasn't this going to be a fun experience?
(At the Forbidden Palace, still around 15 years ago)
"Lady Anzu, how are you feeling?" A maid with long auburn hair and mouse like brown eyes asked, fidgeting her hands and looking a little shy. Anzu looked up from her bed where she had been sleeping and smiled gently at at the maid.
"I am well Shizuka, how is Bakura? Is he still travleing to the southern half of the country?"
Shizuka nodded and handed Anzu some tea. Anzu took it gracefully and took a sip, liking the soothing feeling it gave her. She was still weak from all the labor she had gone through two days ago. She put the cup down and looked at her maid. "Shizuka, where is my son?"
Shizuka looked a little uneasy at the topic and fiddled with her hands. "Um..he sent him with another family, but Lady Anzu, what is the point of all this?"
Anzu sighed and looked at the baby in her arms, stroking her little face. "That is none of your concern Shizuka, but it will all be explained later on. I don't exactly approve of this, but, there is a reason."
"I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing the reason."
"You will one day. Not today, but one day."
Shizuka nodded and bowed deeply. She left, leaving Anzu alone with her daughter. Looking around her room, she watched as a small bird fluttered around outside and listened to the sounds of the stone garden. She felt tiny hands pull at her and looked down to her daughters ice blue eyes. She smiled and cooed at the baby. "Aren't you the cutest little thing? You're going to be a beautiful girl one day, Isuzu."
Isuzu, being a baby, had no idea what her Mother was saying to her. Anzu continued her musings. "I think we'll call you Rin, since your name means dependable bell and Rin is the sound a small bell makes. So you're Rin."
Anzu stopped and gave a small sigh. What was she going to do when she saw Akio in a few years? She was going to be proud of him, but she wouldn't be able to tell him how much she loved him. She felt some tears spring in her eyes, but she blinked them back. She was going to be strong. Strong for Rin, her husband, and everyone else. After all, her children would see each other again one day. They just wouldn't know that they were related.
This was just an introduction to the story. I hope this works out well and wont' be cliche. That's what I'm trying to avoid. I don't own Elecktra, she belongs to Sorceress of the nile and I don't own the Yugioh characters. I just own Rin and Akio. Please review and thank you ^_^
