You're a princess, I'm a servant
Destiny separated pitiful twins
If it's for the sake of protecting you
I'll become evil for you
The weather outside was, to put it simply a disaster. Huge clouds were covering the sky and the raindrops were racing to the earth. Not so far away one could hear a thunder strike a tree.
The prince was in his castle as always. Due to his royal status it wasn't normal for him to leave the castle just like that.
The prince's name was Hachimenroppi. And he was unusually like his twin brother. Both of them had red, almost blood like eyes, short black hair and pretty pale skin. If they were to change clothes, maybe nobody would notice.
Although Hachimenroppi didn't want to get out of the castle. He wasn't a social person, and one could say that he disliked humans very much.
When he was born, directly after the other twin had come to the world, they were separated. Hachimenroppi had to be the prince, and his twin brother, Izaya would be a normal commoner. The rumours said that it was because their parents didn't like each other, so every parent would take one child and do what they wanted with them.
Despite the fact that he and Izaya were separated as little kids, and their parents most likely hated each other, Hachimenroppi waited impatiently between every occasion he could meet Izaya. So yes, the brothers were on good terms. And Izaya seemed to be the only person that Hachimenroppi didn't give that hateful glare, as he did with other humans.
Today's visit would be special, because, what Hachimenroppi heard of the servants talk, Izaya would come here to stay. When a brother of the prince turned 14 he would become his servant. Hachimenroppi disliked the fact that Izaya would live with him as a servant, but that was better than nothing. He hadn't seen his brother since that summer, and now it was the end of spring.
Suddenly the doors to the princes room opened and his number one servant, Xavier went in with a bit of careful steps. Xavier, looked pretty much like the twins, except he was some years older and wore white clothes (like every servant) and blue glasses.
"Good morning, my prince. It's time for breakfast. Your mother is in the dinner room and she would be pleased to eat the meal with you."- Xavier went little deeper in the room and looked around. The castle should be perfectly clean, and Hachimenroppis room wasn't an exception.
"Okay, tell her that I will be there shortly." - The princes voice seemed a bit tired and bored, but Xavier didn't notice it or, most likely he couldn't complain about such a thing.
Ten minutes later, Hachimenroppi went down to the dinner room, fully clothed and prepared. The table was already prepared for breakfast, but his mother was on the opposite site of the room talking to one of the chiefs. The prince went straight to the table and begun to take the food on his plate.
Soon his mother joined him.
The Queen of the country was magnificent. A woman in her 30's, had a pretty serious face. Despite the morning hour, she had fully make up and pretty clothes, with little details. As expected of the Queen.
"So, mother. What's the occasion for me to have you as a guest on my breakfast?" Hachimenroppi asked while taking his first bite of the baguette.
The Queen was unusually quiet. Normally when the prince ate meals with her she talked very much.
"Roppi-san you know what will happen today right? You will have an replacement for Xavier." the Queen said it slowly.
Hachimenroppis face darkened a bit. Yes of course he knew it. But the thing was that Xavier wasn't that bad of a servant, and he didn't want his brother to be his servant either. Why couldn't he just have been born in a normal family? Life would be so much easier... and he would see his brother more often.
"Yes mother, of course I know that. Izaya-kun will be my servant from now on, wouldn't he? I'm pretty glad that we can finally live somewhat together, but still I do not approve of the idea that my brother would me my personal servant. And Xavier isn't so bad so don't let him live on the street from now on."
Assuming that her expression wasn't fake the Queen was pretty much taken unawares. She probably didn't expect her son to know so much about what happens with the servants that the castle hasn't any need for.
"But Xavier won't live on the street. He has a job as a teacher at the local middle school. And also for today's ceremony of making Izaya your servant, your dad will arrive too. I hope you will be a good son of mine and ignore that bastard all the way. He was not invited, but otherwise Izaya won't have a way to come here, so he must be here. But don't worry about him okay? Hm these tomatoes doesn't seem so fresh. "
Hachimenroppi relaxed. His mother was herself again. And unfortunately for her, he would greet his father anyway. And thank him for agreeing that Izaya would live with him. From what Hachimenroppi heard, Izaya was meant to take over his fathers bussiness in the town. So Hachimenroppi couldn't ignore his father like his mother wished to.
After breakfast, the day went pretty smooth. Hachimenroppi went to his private classes, and for the etiquette lesson as always. The difference was that at three o clock he went to prepare himself. The party was set at six in the evening, but the prince liked to have much time to prepare for such night.
Meanwhile in the small village that was not so far away from the castle, the boy named Izaya packed his things into one bag. It wasn't so much that he owned, nor that he needed many things. From what he heard, in the castle he would get everything.
Izaya was a sharp boy and he knew why he was moving. He didn't like the idea that he would be his brothers servant, but that was his destiny, and he must accept such a task. And it seemed much better than to stay here and one day take over his fathers business.
His father seemed to do a shady business anyway. Some gangs or even mafia were involved, and Izaya didn't want to become one of the faces in the underworld.
When he packed all his things, he remembered one thing that was left. Behind the wardrobe was a secret hole in the wall. There was hidden a switch-blade with a red and black element on the handle. Izaya got it from his father on his sixth birthday. His father implied that there will come a time in life when Izaya should use it. So the dark-haired boy with eyes that had color of blood took the knife without hesitation. Maybe sometime he would be supposed to protect the prince.
One hour later, Izaya and his father were arriving at the entrance of the castle. Izaya was a little nervous but also very excited.
His father on the other hand was pretty bored. And kind of sad. The only one possible ancestor of his business would be lost forever, and he couldn't do much about it. Hell, he was helpless in this. But at least Izaya seemed happy, and yes, Shiki would admit that he was somehow proud of his son.
If only Namie would tell him sooner that she was a queen, this wouldn't be a problem for him to keep Izaya. But that woman had her own plans and traditions to follow, and Shiki wouldn't complain as long as he was out of it.
"We have arrived at the castle, now. Izaya-dono, please take care and good luck." the chauffeur of the car opened the door and when Izaya and Shiki went into the building, the chauffeur went to leave the car at the parking and wait for his master there.
Hachimenroppi couldn't wait for Izaya to finally arrive. He was pretty tired of all these preparations and wanted to see his brother as soon as it was possible.
Then suddenly the main door opened and there he was. And it was nearly exactly as Hachimenroppi remembered him, despite that he had a black jacket with white fur on the edges.
The prince couldn't wait any more and practically rushed to the entrance and hugged Izaya from all his might.
"Welcome to your new life, Izaya-kun!"
A/N: Hi everyone! My first english fic published here, oh yay xD So this idea popped into my head as I listened to the Izaya version of that vocaloid song "Servant of Evil". And Roppi x Izaya is an unusual pairing so I thought of writing them. Yeah, I know that the prince should be Hibiya but I just couldn't stop myself. So here it is.
If you read this, I kindly as you to review and leave a comment. Eventual mistakes are possible because English is not my native language. But even so I hope you enjoyed it :D
This will be a multichapter fic so look forward to updates xD
