Just a little something I decided to whip up. Canon-divergent. Mostly awkward fluff and low-key angst.
May get a little more serious later.
More chapters to come! Enjoy!

"Come on, Eugena! We have to hurry!" Rona exclaimed, dragging her twin brother behind her through the castle corridors.

"But why?" the second Prince groaned, struggling to keep up with her, "Why must we keep meddling? Brother will be angry with us…Again."

"Because!" The young Princess shrieked but turned quiet and darted behind a column as a pair of guards walked by.

She held a hand over Eugena's mouth to keep him from speaking and continued in a hushed whisper, "We've been over this already. We are helping because Big Brother deserves to be happy. And this is the happiest I've ever seen him!"

Eugena rolled his eyes and pulled Rona's hand away

"He didn't seem too happy to me," the young Prince muttered. "He seemed angry at us, mostly."

"That's because you weren't paying attention," Rona huffed, tossing her pale, rosy curls.

She peaked around the corner and, seeing no sign of guards, grasped Eugena's hand and continued racing down the hall.

"This is it!" she cried upon seeing a door up ahead.

"Wait! Don't just waltz in there!" Eugena warned, but Rona was already turning the door handle.

"Miss?" Rona called out as she pried open the door and peered inside, suddenly nervous about entering the guest's room uninvited.

There, standing in the middle of the room, was her: Miss. Shirayuki, the only woman capable of securing the First Prince of Tanbarun's happiness.

And, of course, her bodyguard, Obi, was present as well, much to Rona's displeasure.

They seemed to be having a serious conversation about the letter Obi held, but Shirayuki painted on a smile as she greeted her unexpected intruders.

"Oh, hello there your Highnesses," she said gently, clearly trying to lighten the mood in the room.

Obi glanced at the twins with sharp yellow eyes, which turned cold and alert when a noise echoed from the balcony outside. A creaking of window-pane and a rustling of leaves resounded through the room.

Shirayuki froze, her eyes wide.

The Princess sensed Shirayuki's fear and gripped her brother's hand as Obi raced to the window. In one fluid motion, he threw back the curtains and opened the balcony doors, darting out to catch whoever lurked outside.

But there was nothing - just a clear, blue-black night sky illuminated by a flawless full moon.

"No one here," Obi stated when he returned to the room, his eyes still seeking out potential threats.

"Thank goodness," Shirayuki put a hand over her heart and took a deep breath.

Rona saw Obi glance to Shirayuki for a moment, a reassuring look in his eye.

"Are you alright?" the Princess asked uneasily, "Is something wrong?"

"Oh, no!" Shirayuki feigned laughter and turned to them, "Obi is always on high alert, that's all… Every nightingale and squirrel is a potential kidnapper in his eyes."

Obi smiled faintly at what was obviously a bluff.

"We didn't mean to frighten you both like that," Obi said, approaching the twins and bending down to their level. "But what exactly are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the ball with Prince Raji?"

Rona's race reddened under Obi's suspicious gaze.

"Um, well… About that…" Eugena began sheepishly, but Rona squeezed his hand.

"We came to get you, Miss," She said matter-of-factly, "Big Brother wants to meet you in the greenhouse, so you can walk into the party together!"

Shirayuki tilted her head, "Really? Well if he wants to meet there, I don't see why not - "

"But the green-house is on the other end of the castle grounds" Obi cut in, his eyebrow raised slightly, "We would have to pass through the ballroom to get to it."

Rona's shoulder's fell.

He sure learns fast…

"Well, uh…" She mumbled, annoyed by her sudden inability to formulate an impromptu plan, "You see, err…"

"That's because he wants you to take the secret passageways again," Eugena said suddenly.

Rona turned to her brother in shock. She noticed a strange sort of twinkle in his eye; A spark of inspiration and, more importantly, determination.

Maybe he's not so dumb after all.

"Yes! That's right!" Rona continued, grinning up at Shirayuki, "The passageways! Haha, I had forgotten…"

Obi wrinkled his brow and stared at the young Princess and Prince with a keen eye.

Shirayuki smiled and bowed her head, "Very well, I'd be happy to take that route. If it's what the Prince wants."

"Alright! Let's go! I'll take you there so you won't get lost," Eugena exclaimed with surprising enthusiasm. He began out into the hallway and Rona started to follow him, but she looked back.

Rona gasped as Obi's eyes flared and he turned, gripping Shirayuki's arm to prevent her from leaving.

"No, it's too dangerous," he said quietly so as not to frighten the twins, but Rona heard every word as she hid in the doorway.

Shirayuki sighed and looked at the floor, "I can't just hide here and wait to be kidnapped, because then the kidnappers win. Also, if I refuse to see Prince Raji tonight, I will be giving up on our friendship. I don't want that." She stated, determined, "And besides," she looked up to Obi with a genuine smile, "I have you to protect me!"

His eyes softened with tenderness, which made Rona's heart explode in anger.

He has no right to look at her like that. He's just a guard.

Rona huffed and turned on her heel, surprised to run into her brother who was also intently watching the scene unfold between Shirayuki and her more-than-attentive bodyguard.

"What's going on with you?" Rona muttered, crossing her arms, "Are you ill?"

Eugena smiled, "No…Not at all."

"We're ready now!" Shirayuki said happily, exiting her room with Obi close behind.

Rona peered at him, disappointed and irked by his presence.

"Does he always have to come with you?" She asked.

Shirayuki nodded, "Of course."

"It's my job," Obi added firmly.

Rona sighed in defeat and leaned in to whisper to her brother.

"Alright, you take them through the tunnels while I get Big Brother Raji, okay?" Rona explained intently before darting down a separate hall.

Perhaps we can save what's left of my master plan.

Eugena only smiled, not once averting his eyes from Shirayuki and Obi as they began to make their way through the castle.

Haha, I do love those twins. And thank goodness we won't have to worry about kidnappers and pirates!
Any way, keep a look out for more chapters! And please leave reviews! Thanks
