"Rin! Rin! Rin!" Called a young boy's voice. "RIN!" He called again close to tears. He looked around the garden, turning his head from side to side, inspecting each inch of the garden from the flowers to the crystal gates but he did not see the person he was calling for. He began to cry, softly. "Wh-Wh-Wh-Where is she….?" He sobbed.
The boy was a child-about 10 years old. He had shinning honey blond hair tied in a small pony tail; he also had amazing blue eyes that looked soft and gentle to touch. He was tiny and had soft and delicate pale skin the color of milk. The clothes he was wearing had a formal look to them. A silk yellow long sleeved shirt, silky golden yellow shorts and leather shoes that were a very deep shade of black. He was a prince; a heir to a powerful kingdom flooded with golden flowers. He was the only son of the deceased king and queen who had ruled this very kingdom; however...he was not the only child the king and queen had.
It was night time and the young Prince had snuck out of the castle to find his sister before she had to leave for her lessons….for a very, very long time, for she was not to become the ruler of the kingdom only her brother. What she was going away for was only between her and the servants who were taking her away.
"R-Rin…!" The Prince cried, sobbing into his tiny pale knuckles. "Don't tell me I missed her!" He cried as his crystal clear tears dropped down to the soft green grass. The Prince was crying so much that he did not hear the tiny footsteps, rustling in the gorgeous grass and flowers
"Oh don't worry you didn't miss me Len, please don't cry." Came a sweet and gentle voice. The boy who was named Len darted his tear soaked eyes open as he heard that voice (which sounded like the warm breeze in spring) to find his beautiful older twin sister in front of him, smiling warmly. She was dressed in a simple golden yellow dress with orange lining and flowers with shoes the same color as her brothers. Her hair was the same honey color as her twin, and it was quite long, down to her waist line, and she had the same outstanding blue eyes as her younger twin brother's.
Len smiled as tears of joy fell from his gentle blue eyes when he saw her and immediately he hugged her in a tight grasp. "Sister! I was afraid that I would miss you before you go! I'm so glad you're still here!" He sobbed happily. Rin smiled and wrapped her arms around him returning his embrace, holding him dearly as he sobbed softly onto her shoulder. She let out a small moan because her brothers grip on her was so tight she could barely breath, but she didn't care, she was just happy she could share one last hug with her brother before she had leave.
After a few minutes had passed Rin gently broke the hug and looked at Len with concern eyes. "Listen, I know you wanted to see me before I left but you should not have snuck out, especially since it is your time to sleep." She said in her big sister-like tone.
Len just smiled. "I know!" He giggled. "But I'm going to miss you a lot so before this day came I asked some of the maids to teach me how to make something." He happily said
"May I ask what you have made?" Rin asked.
"Of course! Besides it is for you after all." Len joyfully said. Len put his hand in his pocket and took something out and he then held it up to her. It was a silky pure white ribbon with a poorly made yellow threaded rose embroidered in the middle. Rin's eyes widen at the ribbon and then she her shock turned to happiness and she smiled.
"Thank you, Len!" She exclaimed.
Len giggled at her wonderful smile she gave. "Here, let me put it on you!" Len said with an excited smile. Rin's smile was even wider now. Oh, how she loved to see that smile on his face.
Standing on his tiptoes, Len carefully tied the ribbon on the top of her head. "There you go!" He said, clapping his hands after he finished. "You look really cute in that!" He exclaimed.
Rin giggled. "Once again thank you Len. Now I'd like to give you a present as well." She softly said as she gave Len a kiss on his cheek.
Len blushed and took a tiny step back. "Sister I am not a little kid anymore, you don't have to kiss me like that!" He complained.
"Oh but you love it when I kiss you don't you." Rin giggled with a sly grin.
"I…!" He began blushing knowing that his older twin had beaten him.
"Ah! There you two are!" Came a deep voice. Before the twins knew it, big strong hands grabbed their tiny pale ones and separated them from each other.
"Prince forgive me, but you mustn't have come here, it is way past your bed time!" The man who held Len's hand scolded.
"But I didn't want to go to sleep without seeing Rin." Len whined as his eyes began to once again well up with tears.
The man who held Rin's hand looked at her and said in a soft low voice. "We must depart at once lady Rin, the carriage will not wait."
Rin looked up at him with a sad smile and nodded. "No! I don't want her to go!" Len pleaded as tears fell from his eyes. Seeing her brother crying like that and knowing that she would have to leave him for who knows how long, made Rin cry as well but she didn't say word she just smiled sadly as she spilled tears.
"Come prince, you must go back to sleep." The man holding Len said as if separating the crying twins was nothing more than a casual deed-as he walked away with the sobbing Prince.
"NOOOO! I DON'T WANNA! NOT WITH OUT RIN! DON'T TAKE HER AWAY FROM ME!" He cried as he stretched out his arm for her while the man forcefully took him away. Rin felt her tears drip down her now rosy red cheeks as the man (holding her hand) began to pull her away as well. "RIIIIIIIN! DON'T GO!" Len yelled sobbing as she and the man had boarded into the ornate carriage that was waiting for them.
Rin looked out the window couldn't see her younger twin brother anymore but she could still hear his mournful sobs; begging for her not to go. She gripped onto her dress tight. She was both angry and sad to leave like this. She really did not want to go, but it is what her and her brother's late parents had wanted, or at least that's what a sharp eyed servant had said.
"Forgive me brother….." She whispered as the silver horses rode away, leaving behind only a trail of golden pedals.
Four years had passed since his sister had departed. Len became the King of the Yellow Kingdom and only at fourteen.
The sweet little child he once was had disappeared. He had become cold, cruel and uncaring. He raised heavy taxes on his people and those who could not pay he would sentence them to the dungeon where their only food would only be a small slice of stale bread and the drinks they got would be from the puddles of water on the dirty brick floors. Sometimes if the King was in a good mood he would only banish them from the country of Yellow and claim their belongings for himself.
At this time the king was dealing with a young woman about the age of twenty. She had beautiful brown hair and lovely brown eyes. She was dressed in a dirty red dress that covered her filthy bare feet. She was begging the prince to cut the taxes only a little for she was out of the money that she had worked so hard to earn to feed her sick family; but unfortunately for her because of the high taxes she had lost it all.
"Please Prince, I beg of you to just cut the taxes a little I don't have enough to feed my family and they are gravely ill!" She begged close to tears.
"Let's see you come into my sublime paradise all dirty not only that you are very ugly." He coldly said. She clutched her folded hands and her heart began to race, waiting for the worst.
"And you want me to cut the taxes for your pathetic family!" He thundered. The women nearly jumped at his scornful shout. He then gave her a wicked smile that sent a shiver running through her spine. And said "If you want money then squeeze it out of those that are just as pathetic and ugly as you!" He smirked at the sadness in her eyes. "Since I am in a generous mood, I will let you go with a warning but your pathetic little hut of a house shall be burned to the ground!" He proclaimed with a dark giggle as he took pleasure at her now shaking figure with her eyes widen with sadness and shock. He then pointed his golden, jewel encrusted, scepter at her. "NOW BOW DOWN TO ME!" He ordered.
She did not bow down; in fact she did not even move. Her folded hands started to shake heavily as she clenched her teeth. The knight in yellow armor ran to her with full speed because she looked as though she was about to attack the Prince who just smirked at her cruelly. Before she could even lunge at him. The knight quickly restrained her-grabbing both her arms that she was trying to free with full rage. Len's nasty grinned widen at this. "Oooh." He said in childish excitement. "Seems we have a fighter here...no matter." Len then turned his attention to the knights that were holding her back. "Guards! Make her bow down. It's impolite that a lowly peasant like her will not to show her king respect." He said calmly with a cold tone.
The knights although did not want to make or hurt the poor women to bow down to the cruel king, (who was suffering enough as it is) obeyed the Prince and tried as gently as they could, bent the still struggling women in a bowing position to the Prince. He smiled satisfied with torturing the poor and then waved his hand to them. Telling the knight to take her away, because he was done with his fun.
The knight nodded and then dragged her out. She was still struggling with anger burning within eyes as tears streamed from them. "YOU DEMON! YOU MONSTER I SHALL NEVER FORGET THIS YOU HEAR ME! I WILL AVENGE MY FAIMLY!" She yelled as the knight dragged her away and slammed the door shut.
"Ha...Ahahahahaa…" He chuckled softly. "What a pathetic women she is. Does she honestly think she could actually do that? HA! What a laugh!" He cruelly said. The great clock had begun to ring. "Ah time for a snack." He said casually with a small smile. He had always said that every time the clock rung at three in the afternoon. It was always that time for him to have a tasty snack.
After a few minutes, the king was now in his chambers, eating a thick slice of sponge cake with three slices of bananas on top of the fluffy frosting. He sipped his tea and continued to finish his cake. "Delicious…." He whispered as he took another bite.
Eating this particular snack made his mind wander into a memory that he held very close to his heart.
"This cake is yummy is it not Len?" Rin asked cheerfully, taking a bite out of a large cake that toppled with oranges.
"It sure is! I want us to always have cake as a snack!" Len said a bit hyperlyy; Stuffing his face with cake in fierce bites.
"Oh, but you would get sick of it would you not?" She asked with a playful giggle.
"Nuh uh!" Len apposed, shaking his head.
Rin giggled and then said softly. "You've got frosting on your face, Len."
"Where?" he asked innocently.
Rin put her finger on the frosting that was on Len's small nose and said "Right here!" She scooped it up with her tiny finger and licked it with a wide smile
The two started to giggle and then they began to laughed. "I love you Rin!" Len happily said.
"I love you too Len." She said back with her radiant smile.
Len felt like he was going to cry as his heart began to crack. He missed his sister terribly, but as a king he must be strong and to not cry over anything no matter how much it hurt.
There was a knock on the door that interrupted Len from his thoughts. "My King may I come in?" Asked a young man's voice. "
If you must." Len answered, still eating his snack.
A man with brown hair and green eyes came from the doors and walked in while the young King still ate his cake.
"What is it?" Len said as he sipped his tea.
"It is almost time for you to leave for the Kingdom of Green." He said.
Len sighed. "Why must I go?" He complained.
"As every royalty who has come here to meet you as the new King of this kingdom, it is important that you meet the Princess of the Green kingdom.
"Why must I go?" He repeated still eating his snack and sipping his tea.
The brown haired man said with a small sigh. "You have already met the Queen from the Kingdom of Blue…"
"What a terrible kingdom that was." Len groaned. "And the queen wasn't easy on the eyes at all."
The brown haired man cleared his throat. "To continue you must meet the princess of the Kingdom of Green, she is about to become queen and as the king of the Yellow kingdom you must attend to the ceremony. The queen of the blue kingdom and most of her subjects will also be attended."
Len let out a bored sigh. "Alright….but only because I want to get this over with so I never have to see another ugly princess or queen again…" He complained taking a bite of his half-finished cake. "You may go now. I will dress in the new suit that those lazy maids have made yesterday." Len said sipping his tea. The brown haired man bowed and left the room.
"I just know this day will just be as boring and pointless as any other day has always been..." Len sighed as took a bite of the banana slice from his cake.
Hours had passed since Len had left his kingdom. He sat alone in a black carriage dressed in a fancy black suit, with a yellow vest, the pants he wore were also yellow with a tint of black and the boots he wore were both yellow and black mixed together making it look a dull gray and on his chest was a single golden rose that seemed to sparkle.
"This suit is so uncomfortable and why must the shoes be so tight? The maids have done a terrible job making this. I shall dismiss them for making such a poorly prepared suit." He thought with a bored expression in his eyes. He looked out window and saw millions of people with emerald green hair who were staring at the carriage, whispering about the him; the King from the Yellow kingdom; knowing that he was indeed in the carriage. But even if they whispered Len had very sharp ears and could hear even hear the tiniest of breaths from far away.
"I heard he became King at the age of ten."
"How awful, to be so young and without any parents."
"Rumor has it that he has an older sister about his age."
"No, No, No don't be ridicules! Besides if he did have a sister we would have seen her."
"How sad it is to be alone without even a good companion."
Len's eyes widen he clenched his teeth as he heard the whispers the people were saying. He lightly banged on the wood of the carriage. "Go faster!" He ordered, harshly. "
Yes my king the carriage rider said as he made the horses prance faster.
Len turned his gaze back on the people who only had green hair. "What an absolutely ugly place…." He thought. "I bet the princess is even uglier than her run down kingdom."
After what had seemed like an eternity the carriage came to stop when it had crossed the bridge of a shining green castle covered in green flowers and vines.
A black haired woman who sat next to the carriage rider went outside and opened the door for Len. "My King." she said.
"Thank you." Len gruffly replied. The women held out her glove covered arm for Len who took it. The women then with her other hand lifted her dress up so she could walk and then with the slightest hesitation, escorted the Prince inside of the castle while the carriage rider attended to his horses.
As they walked in, a flood of people with green hair seemed to keep a far distance of them to while giving admiring looks to the Prince who only ignored them for he found their stares to be annoying and immature.
The golden sun began to set into a mixture of orange, yellow, pink and red as the gems like stars began to twinkle in the sky. Len was glad the sun was setting because it was bothering his eyes.
When came into the castle and in the ball-room, a man with an old scroll called out their names to the crowed. The people clapped knowing that the King of the Yellow kingdom was here at last. However Len didn't appreciate their politeness, he felt even more annoyed at their noisy claps and goofy smiles.
Trying to keep his mind away from the clapping he began to examine the ball-room and the people, ignoring their smiles. The place was filled with green haired people, most were dressed in beautiful green dresses and suits; all laughing, dancing, and chatting.
"What a dirty place and most of these people are dressed in only green, how boring, I wish I never came." He thought.
The black haired women led the Prince to a fancy yellow chair next to a blue chair that were only for the special guest of the blue and yellow kingdoms. "My king, the princess will be coming soon." She said.
Len sighed. "Oh, that's nice." He moaned not caring at all. "You may go now and enjoy the festivities." He said waving his hand. The black haired women curtseyed and left him alone.
Len sat at the throne watching everyone having a merry time while he on the other hand was very bored and tired of this; he just wanted this all to be over with soon. "Lucky me that after the feast I will be gone from this boring country." He thought. His eyes started to wonder to the queen from the kingdom of Blue who had just arrived.
She had an hour glass figure and wore a beautiful blue ball gown that looked like a waterfall with pearls sewed on making it more beautiful it covered her feet hiding her purple, blue shoes, she had Large gray blue eyes she even long blue hair tied in a single braid that hung on her left shoulder with light pink pearls strung in her pretty strains of hair. Len stared at her with disgust. "Disgusting…." He said in his mind. Soon the queen was seated next to him. She greeted him with a smile. He looked away from her. "She even smells awful." He thought wishing he could plug his nose from the queens disgusting perfume scent.
A horn broke through the loud air, silencing everything. "So noisy." Len thought, rolling his eyes.
"Everyone, Thank you all for coming! A man said to the crowed with a warm crowed returned his smile even the Princess of the Blue kingdom did, but not Len. He just frowned coldly, wishing the man would just shut up. "As you all know our beloved Queen, Lady Cecilia has passed away..." He said sadly and bowing his head. The room went silent as everyone bowed their heads as well. Some of them even had tears rolling down their cheeks that they dabbed with their light green handkerchiefs.
Len just rolled his eyes, "What crybabies."
"But her eldest daughter, our beloved princess, shall take her place as queen of the Kingdom of Green." The crowd clapped their hands.
"It's not like it's a surprise, it happens to everyone who is royalty, not like they would know. Their all just poor pathetic peasants. How awfully boring this all is." Len thought feeling very annoyed, slouching in his chair.
"I will now welcome our beautiful and pure of heart princess, Miku Angelina Lillian Hatsune! The crowd cheered.
Len just covered his ears. "All this fuss over a stupid princess becoming queen?" He thought feeling more annoyed.
From a door at the end of the ball room, came out the princess. Everyone stared at her with greeting eyes. Bowing and curtseying before her as she passed every one of them
Len on the other hand didn't want to even look at her but without much else to do; he also turned his gaze towards the princess.
At the moment he turned his eyes to the Princess, they widen with astonishment and his heart nearly stopped. The Princess was beautiful. She had beautiful hair that was the loveliest color of green he had even seen. Long, lushes and tied into two pony tails, he felt as though he wanted to touch it. She was dressed in a long white flowing dress with a sparkle of green on the top and a huge light green bow in the back of her dress that looked as though they were wings and she would take fight any second. Holding her beautiful long pigtails were a pair of silken satin black ribbons with two tiny green roses sewed on perfectly. She even had the most beautiful eyes that were deep pools of innocence and emerald green.
Len stared at her with amazed eyes. She was not what he was expecting at all. She was beautiful no...She was gorgeous. She looked just like an angel. He even though she looked magnificent in the simple white dress she wore. "She's exquisite…" He thought, nearly losing his breath. His heart began to beat faster.
Miku, the princess kept walking gracefully as she eyed all her guest, she then eyed the queen of the blue kingdom who waved at her with a smile. Then her lovely emerald green eyes met Len's beautiful blue ones.
He blushed as she looked at him. He didn't even turn away, he was too entrance by her, he could feel his own breath speeding up. She smiled at him knowing that he was the young lord of the yellow kingdom. He gulped her beauty was absolutely breath taking; it was love at first sight for him. He continued watching her as she made her way down the long floor and toward her new throne.
The man, who had announced the princess's arrival, was now reading what was written in a scroll to pronounce her Queen.
"Miku Angelina Lillian Hatsune, do you swear to protect this country, to care for your people, to punish those who do unforgivable crimes and to be executed for the safety of your kingdom." He read. Normally Len would find this boring and pointless but he listen to every word of mostly because he loved to see the sight of the princess.
"I Swear." She said in a voice that was most sweet and melody like. Len felt his heart heating up; her voice was so beautiful and so intoxicating he felt as if he would collapse any minute.
A man with silky green hair walked by the man holding the scroll-held a purple cushion with a light green crown with a beautiful emerald in the middle-resting on it. The man who held the scroll rolled it up and put it between his armpits and plucked the crown from the cushion and placed it on the Princesses head.
"I now pronounce you, Miku Angelina Lillian Hatsune, Queen of the Kingdom of Green!" He pronounced. All the people in the room clapped for her and cheered even Len clapped as well.
Miku turned around to see her people. "I swear on my life that I will protect you all." She said with a warm smile. Len blushed at her smile. She was an absolute beauty to the world. She was like a beautiful green flower blooming in an endlessly. No one could be immune to her beauty. Len could not help but smile at her.
After Miku was pronounced Queen everything went back to the way it was in the room. Several young men came to her to give her flowers and congratulate her on being Queen and wishing her good luck. But with every single man that came to her, Len grew angry and immediately hate every man in the room.
Several people came to him and the queen of blue to welcome them and asked them to dance. The queen of blue was flattered and agreed to dance with each one that asked her.
Len however coldly rejected every girl who asked him to dance with them for he did not care for such things as dancing. True he knows how to dance and he is a very extraordinary dancer at that, but he never wanted to dance with anybody unless it was with his dear sister.
Len quickly started get bored again in fact he grew so bored that he nearly dozed off, but before he even could, someone tapped him on his shoulder. He turned his head around prepared to insult the person who had dared touched him, but didn't for the person who had tapped him on his shoulder was the beautiful green haired princess Miku.
I've listened to the whole series and love it! I'm so glad that in the end they were all reborn, then I thought maybe the story would have been better if Len was the mean but emotional ruler and Rin was the heroic Servant and then this happened...Please enjoy everyone!
