That Special Someone…
Prologue
Disclaimer: I do not own last exile! How many times do I have to tell you, Dammit?!
Roses are red…
Violets are blue…
And so is my heart…
Without you…
Only you…
My dear Cicada…
Delphine's laughter could be heard throughout her private chambers. Unlike the other areas of the Guild palace, there were no cameras and such to detect what was going on. Delphine could have been all alone, but she preferred to spend her time with someone else.
Cicada…
Delphine… she always seemed so cold and heartless. No one ever knew about her relationship with her special someone. When she was around him, if felt like she was alive, and life was not just a game, but in fact, worth living. But when that special someone had to go for the moment, or had to leave to take care of things, she felt like her heart would burst until she met him again. She never felt alive commanding the Guild, tearing through her surroundings like a court jester, despite he calm manner. She only felt alive with that special someone… and that was that. She couldn't feel alive… not around those who only looked at her as an empress or a queen. But instead, that someone of hers looked at her as an actual person… but of course that was only in her private life, and the small amount of time she had to spend in it.
No one knew about her private life. No one knew about the secret relationship she had.
Cicada…!
You see… Delphine lived two different lives. The one life was to be the so called "Maestro Delphine" and to command all of the Guild. She was cold and ruthless, cunning, and sharp-witted. She ruled over all of Prester, with an iron fist. But the other Delphine, whom no one ever saw, was just as normal as everyone else. She enjoyed having a good time and doing things that at other times she couldn't. She was like a normal person… not a Hitler-like dictator. The time she spent in this life, which she considered it her "private life", was very limited. She only spent it with one person… Her special someone… Cicada.
Her reign on the Guild and Prester, and her personality, was widely misunderstood. She always seemed so cold and heartless, but inside she wasn't.
The Delphine that the Guild knew of, wasn't the real her; instead, an imposter. Delphine, despite her attitude, was very unhappy inside. You see, she had never been truly loved. Only her brother, Dio, who she envied with a passion, seemed to have people that cared for him. But his elder sister, Delphine Elaclaire', had no one. She, as a child, was neglected and unwanted, unlike her younger brother, who most favored. All her life she wanted someone to love her; not even her own brother did so. But all that changed… when she met him… Cicada…
Cicada, who was Luciola's elder brother, waited on Delphine hand and foot. He referred to her as "Maestro" in all due respect to the Elaclaire' name, but of course, that was only around others. When he was alone with her… she was only known as Delphine to him, nothing else. No longer did he call her Maestro and such, he just referred to her as Delphine, as she preferred to be called by him. No one knew of their secret relationship together…
Delphine always looked up to Cicada, because she had no one else to look up to.
Without any family and friends, she always felt at home in Cicada's arms. Cicada made her feel loved… she had never experienced this emotion before. She and Cicada spent most of their time together, but it only qualified when they were alone; they couldn't be their selves around the other members of the Guild. They really did love each other, but the type of relationship between a servant and a queen would be forbidden in a place such as the Guild. But they didn't care… because love conquers over ridiculous laws.
Authors notes: I am half asleep writing this… so ill make it quick. .; First of all this story will only be two chapters long. The next chapter will be the actual story about what Cicada and Delphine are doing at the time. I have to go… or I'm going to fall asleep at the computer… .
