Disclaimer: I don't own Chrono, Rosette, Azmaria, Aion or any character in Chrno Chrusade (even if I do, I stil don't know what to do with them except make Chrno & Rosette live together, but the story will less interesting because of that). They belong to … the author (sorry, but I don't know the name - guess I'm a bad fan, right?).

Please note this, whoever is trying to sue me, cause I won't say it twice.

Summary: (repeat it again for someone who don't remember the main idea of the story even after they've just read the summary, like me) Engaged to Duke Kirst, the only succesor of a aristocratic family, Princess Rossette decide to run away & wouldn't come back until she had found her true love. She then lived in a small village in the country. She had never thought she would have a turning point of her life at this outlying place.

Ok, everyone. This is my first fic and I think I am not good at grammar, spelling (even I have about 4 dictionaries by my side). That's why I welcome all your review (but please don't be too strict). I'm working on this fic cause it's fun when I read the other stories of Chrno Crusade and I still didn't see any fairy tale about this couple (or Chrno Crusade is a fairy tale itself ?). However, READ IT!

Long ago, at far away, human had lived in their paradise. They worked on the farm, held many festival every year under the rule of the king. If there weren't the interference of the criminals and some social problems, this place would be perfect. Then all the residents in the kingdom overjoyed with a new born royal member: a princess who had blonde hair, shining under the sun (if those were just born had hair); her eyes had a blue color like the deep ocean, reminded of the sparkling water in a sunny day, her lips were pink like the cherry blossom, and that was their lovely Princess Rosette (if they don't count of her manner). Her beauty continued to brighten the palace when she grew up. One year later, the King was more than happy again to see his second child was born, all healthy: Prince Joshua. The prince had a light blonde hair like his sister, blue eyes & an angelic face.

To guarantee for the future of their daughter & continue the tradition, the King decided to engaged the princess to the succesor of the most wealthy, famous and oldest family in his kingdom at the time - Kirst Kingsley, when the little Duke was just about ten years olds and his fiancée was barely nine. The engagement was kept as a secret to the two until they were mature (means when the Princess was 17) and that where every trouble started.

Rossette, 17th year

"Prince Joshua, Princess Rosette, where are you? Prince Joshua, Princess Rosette………" the poor nanny Jean shouted out.

"What happened, nanny?" asked the tutor, already knew the answer.

"Oh, Miss Kate, the prince and princess is missing. Again." Answered the nanny.

"Sah, this is the third time they missing in this week. Don't they know how to behave after those detention time? Especially today. At least, they should show a change in their attitude when they turn 17. The King even held a birthday party for them, and they just disappeared."complainted the tutor.

Meanwhile, at the lakeshore…

"Wait for me, Rossette"

"You're slow, Joshua. Hurry up, we have tocome back before the party starts."

The carefree siblings was going out to visit their secret cave. The cave located in the forrest near the lake was more like a maze of tunnels inside of the mountain. They discovered it when they were playing hide and seek at the age of nine. Since then, it had been their shelter whenever they want to hide their royal guardians, their strict tutor, their nanny or the aristocratic friends. This was one of those time. After ran away from a hole in the ruin wall of the palace's ancient area, they came to this lake, played in the water and then started their journey to explore the cave. The princess brought with her some candles. In the last eight years, they had explored the cave to the area deep inside that they believed no one had come yet. So today, they decided to spend an extra time in the cave, hoped to find something interesting. And they didn't disappointed. In a place that they thought to be the ceter of the maze, where every tunnels crossed each other, they found a ruin of an ancient structure.

"Look, Rossette! What do you think we found?"

"Saa, I don't know, Johua. It look familiar somehow. What do you think Joshua?"

"I think it's kind of some shrine. I think I saw this kind of structure in some book."

"Yos, let's go inside."

"But, Rossette, it might be dangerous."

"When we started to explore this maze, we knew it would be dangerous and we accepted it. Beside, I don't think this place has anything can hurt us."

"Ok, ok, I give in. You win, as always."

So the siblings found their way to the center of the ruin. And before there eyes was a pillar nationally abraded. It looked like a perfect table to put sacred things on in this ruined place. And the "sacred thing" here is a pair of guns, a sword, a bow and arrows. The things were shining under the sunlight came from a hole on the top of the maze.

"Wow, we have been exploring this place for eight years, and surprise just don't stop coming out. We have explored, come to a corner and prepared to go back then found a small hole or a secret passage to keep going many time. We have found a small pond had fish swiming in. We've even seen some mysterious symbols on the wall. But this sight really is more than any thing that my imagine can think of."gapsed Joshua in admired.

"Yeah, let's take a look at it." Said Rossette, already moved before finished the sentence.

The two went to the weapons. Like there was some supernatural power guided them, Rossette picked up one gun while Joshua took the other and they fitted them strangely. After carefully examined the guns carefully, they tried the others. Unfortunately, the bow seemed a little short and the sword was too heavy.

"You know Rossette, I'm thinking that these guns are for us, and the others aren't."

"You meant we'll take these and come back?"

"Yeah, and keep them at a secret."

"Sounds fun."

Then they took thei guns and came back the palace.

At the palace…

"Oh, Princess Rossette, Prince Joshua, you're back." The nanny cried in joy.

"Shhh, Ms.Jean, don't shout loud. We don't want Ms Kate to know." Said the twins at the same time, in the same voive, with the same look.

"Unfortunately, I already knew." Stood the strict teacher, said in a scary voice.

Two teenagers looked around to see a very very very angry woman.

"Oh no, another detention, I bet."mumble Rossette.

"Yes, Your Highness. But not now. You two have to get dressed quickly and come to the ball room. The party is about to start, even if you don't like. And I won't forget about your punishment, if you are thinking about that."

Can she read my mind? What an old hag.Rossette thought while she was walking to her room. When she came in, she saw a long luxury white dress was picked by Ms.Jean, lying on her bed. "Mah, they don't even let me choose what I wear, as always. But someday, I'll find my freedom."

In the evening, at the ball room…

"Mah, I'm soooooooooooo boring, Joshua."said the Princess with a yawn.

"Yeah, we have nothing else to do after give the guest a speech and receive the present, except dancing with those aristoracy people here."answered Joshua."I wonder why father and mother don't let us come back to our room or go outside."

"Uhm, look like they have something to tell us."

"That's right, my little princess"

They turned around to see their father, the King. He smiled mercifully, then said to everyone at the party:"Everyone, I have something to announce." Everyone looked at the King in attention, listened carefully. "Seventeen years ago, when Rossette was born, I decided to engaged her to the son of the Kingsley family and he will become the landlord of the Western land. The engagement was kept secret until both of them grow up. And since today is Princess Rossette's seventeenth birthday, means she is mature, I will arrange their wedding. Soon, the civilization will be known and joined in royal happiness."

Hearing that, the aristocracy in the room clapped their hands simultanously. They congrated the King and the Duke in a competitive way, in order to show their admirations and have their names memorizes. No one noticed the disapproval on the Princess's face.

"But father, I don't like Kirst Kingsley. I won't marry him."

"You will, my precious daughter. Why don't you when he is able to offer you a prosperous life?"

"But do you think I would marry someone I don't love and live happily with him? You don't think about my feelings at all. "

"She'd right, father. I don't think Kingsley deserve for Rossette. He's greedy and stupid. Even his name says that he has some dirty tricks under his sleeves."

"Don't talk more, Joshua. Saying behind others back is not something a Prince and the succesor of the throne should do (even if it is the truth). The Kingsley family has showed their loyality to the empire and their son is more deserve for Rossette more than anyone else. That's why you're marrying him, no matter you like him or not."

"But, father…"

"No but, just obey my order. You will understand some day."

"Mother"

"Do what your father say, dear. It's good for you."

How can this is good for me? I am being forced to marry a stupid, foolish, gready idiot and you say it's for my sake? You're gotta be kidding. Okay, just do what you want, and I'l do what I want. With those thought, the Princess stormed out of the ball room, escorted by dear her brother, her closest friend.

"Don't worry, Rossette, I'll help you."comforted Joshua.

"Thank you, Joshua. I won't give up. And you will always ehind me, no matter what I do. Is it right?" asked the angry Rossette, with teary eyes.

"Of course. And if you want, I can go search for an ideal brother-in-law."

Smacked her brother on head, Rossette nearly shout, blushing: "You fool. You think I can't found myself a husband? I can always so if I want to. Understand?"

"Yes, and this is my daily violent sister."

"You're so dead. Who did you call violent sister?

"Wow, quietly, Rossette. Do you want to be punish by your language?"

"Shesh, that's because of you."

"Hehe…But it's work. You finally cheer up."

"Yes, thank you for everything, Joshua. Remember I always love you."

Little did Joshua know, something was up to in his sister's mind. But he couldn't imagine that the princess was planing for a run away. And in that night, she collected her money, jewelry, some clothes, her guns and wrote a letter for her parrents and her brother then departed, starting her journey to the East, in order to stay away from her fiancée as far as possible.

Okay, this is the first chapter. I tried very hard to writ it,hope you all enjoy.
