Oh God… sorry, just sorry but… I got a new idea! xD Oh, this will be a pain to update all of my stories when I got so many but… well… I badly needed to write this!


The sun shone down on the kingdom, its shining rays of light reflected by the golden palace. Near the palace, a long river crept through kingdom and connected to the ocean. The water sparkled as the sunshine reached down on it and Len could see his sad face in the clear water. He was a royal knight of the kingdom and he didn't think that it was "royal", but rather "inhuman". The missions he got almost always included killing innocent people and unnecessary violence. Sometimes, he would walk down to this river to calm down a little. His armor was made of pure silver and was decorated with topaz gemstones and pearls. Too lavish for his taste, but it looked good, and that was the only thing that the rulers of this kingdom cared for.

He let out a sigh and stared down in the water. All he could see was a sad person, a handsome but unhappy person. His golden hair was tied in a ponytail neatly. Everything had to be done neatly in this kingdom. A voice called out to him and he turned around. It was another knight that needed to swallow his pride. Standing like some kind of almighty king looking down on a dog, he wrinkled his nose and spoke his message in disgust.

"The king is looking for you."

Len followed him into the palace and opened the door to the throne room. He bowed down in front of the king without looking at him and softly asked what he needed.

"Len. You see… the neighboring country is in a state of chaos now. Their queen recently died and now, they only have their young princess left. You must travel to the kingdom and act as a spy for a few days to see if an attack would be possible." the king's voice was harsh.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Len stared down onto the ground for a moment before leaving the room. He quickly walked out of the palace and waited for a horse carriage to get ready.

As he traveled to the kingdom, the carriage passed beautiful forests, lakes and flower meadows. He felt more relaxed and took out his beloved blade "Avadonia", and gently stroke the sharp edge with a small piece of cloth. This blade has tasted more blood that needed. He felt sorrow wash over him as he thought of the screams of the children and women. But of course, he had to keep doing this and keep his pride. If he was going to be a royal knight, he couldn't feel sorry for others.

The carriage made a gentle brake and Len immediately stepped outside into the sunshine. This kingdom seemed so peaceful. He didn't want war to exist here. But then again, he must keep his pride and still not overdo it. His life was devoted to his lord and he must obey his orders. Wearing the royal knight armor would be too suspicious, so he quickly changed into some more normal clothes in the bushes nearby. He walked into the town as the carriage returned to his birth-kingdom.

He looked around on the streets and didn't see too much chaos – mostly gossiping about the princess that was about to take over the throne. Otherwise, everything seemed stable here. Wandering around, he suddenly bumped into someone and he opened his mouth to apologize, but remembered his pride. He was not going to apologize to a commoner if he was a royal knight.

"S-sorry." the girl that he bumped into said. He stared at her, but couldn't get a clear look on her face that was covered with a cloak.

Quickly, she leaned to his right side and began running away from there. He eyed her suspiciously as she disappeared and then decided to run after her. What if she was a spy or something? Being a well-trained royal knight, he quickly caught up to the girl who was panting. It didn't seem like she was very well-trained compared to him. He walked up to her and grabbed her wrist, dragging her into an alleyway. She tried to resist but he was probably twice as strong as her.

"Who are you?" Len put on a hard face and forced her to look at him. The girl was quivering with fear as he made pulled off her cloak.

"Speak! Are you a spy?" Len dragged her deeper into the alley to avoid the people to hear them. The girl still didn't speak, but seemed more relieved.

"So you don't know who I am…?" the girl finally said. She sighed with relief.

"Why do you think that I am asking you? Do I look like a… clown?" Len frowned.

"No. It's just that…" she nervously tugged her pigtails. She had teal hair that was tied neatly into two long pigtails. It seemed so familiar to Len.

"What? Now, who are you?" Len demanded to know. He showed her his blade that flashed as he drew it out from the sheath.

"I… am the princess of this country." the girl said as he pointed the blade to her. He felt like a merciless, cold-blooded killer, but that was only part of his job.

The answer shocked him. The princess? Walking on the streets with a cloak? He couldn't believe it. However, if she did tell him the truth, he could easily end this now, without war. After all, his lord only wanted her kingdom, so he only needed to kill her.

"How do I know that you are telling the truth?" Len pointed his blade to her again.

"You aren't from this kingdom, right?" Miku said, making Len loosen his grip in the blade for a moment. "Everyone knows that I am the only one with teal hair."

"That's not what I would call 'proof'." Len said, looking at her clothes. It did look like expensive clothes, but certainly not royal. The princesses in his kingdom would always wear long and glamorous dresses and gowns.

"Then don't trust me. I shouldn't have said it anyways." the girl gulped and then pulled on the cloak again. She quickly sneaked past him and ran away. He followed her, but she had disappeared into the crowd. Damn her luck! And his bad luck too… he should have killed her at the spot!

He walked to a nearby inn and booked a gigantic room. Tonight, he was going to spend his time to do some research. But first, he needed a nap. He quickly walked to his room and fell asleep directly. Outside, the sun was beginning to set, turning into a deep orange color.


That's all for now. Luckily for me, I could get some more time for writing today. ^^ And I needed to try this genre, since I always write happy love stories. xD
