Chapter 1

Once up on a time, in a kingdom across the seas was born your average princess. Strangely, while she was growing up she was never attached to any one or anything.

Everyday she studied hard and never had that many friends except a barmaid's daughter to keep her company. The princess' name was Miku.

Many years passed by and it was Miku's 17th Birthday, an unexpected encounter will happen. And the story will start…

A sunny morning with birds chirping, Miku woke up finding her hair in a mess and she muttered "I feel like today is special… can't remember what, never mind." as soon as she got on her feet,

she wore her slippers and walked over to her closet room and picked out her usual un-frilly grey and mint dress. Then she moved on to her vanity

and tied up her hair up in two twin tails. She thought to herself "I'm free from lessons today so no tiara is needed." then she let out

a small sigh of relieve, wore her white flats and walked off to the backyard garden to have her breakfast. "We have some of your favourite plain butter

cookies and Jasmine tea, your highness." One of the maids said. "Thank you.." Miku answered then she asked "Oh, is there something important today? I might have forgotten it.. I think..".

"How could you forget your own birthday, Miku? The whole kingdom is looking forward to the party this evening!" Her elder brother, prince Mikuo answered from the back and started

walking towards his chair. "Hm.. Oh, right.. My 17th birthday.. Well, I'm going to walk around town this after breakfast. I shall be back before the party." Miku said then she took sip

from her teacup with her pinky sticking out. "Very well, but do watch out for suspicious figures…" Mikuo said. "Suspicious figures? Since when did our

kingdom have suspicious figures roaming around?" Miku asked with a slight frown of concern. "Pirates.. They've always been around but since we have tight security, they could never

succeed in their thieving activities in our kingdom. But recently there have been rumours about a very sneaky group of them.. You better be careful, take some

guards with you!" Mikuo frowned. "Bad subject to talk about.. Well, I'm just going for a walk in my usual places so I'm not going to be flashy and take a guard or two with me, I'll be alright.

Besides, I have my weaponry and fighting skills." Miku said, finished her breakfast and walked off. Mikuo sighed and watched the princess walk out of the garden.

She walked out of the castle with her dress fluttering right below her knees and spotted a large crowd in the market. She mumbled "Their blocking the whole road… What's the big deal?" then she walked right over into the crowds and pulled upher hood to cover her head. Some kind of famous fortune teller was visiting and the villagers were asking her to tell their fortunes. "I see.. Fortune tellers, we never had that much here so it a pretty big deal." She thought. Then the crowds started shifting trying to be the next one to get their fortune told then a carriage was riding by. Some people started pushing each other to form a path for the vehicle then they tripped Miku over to the road. Miku fell over to the carriage's

path and as the horses were about to run over her, a figure quickly jumped out from the crowed and rescued her back to the back alley near a bakery. In the next moment, Miku found herself carried

in a princess carry by a man who was wearing a hood over his sapphire like eyes and deep blue hair. Miku's eyes were wide open then she came to her senses "Th-th-thank you.." she said then the man let her down.

Someone called out from behind the man, "Kaito! Your gonna be late. Come fast!" Then the man walked off with his companion. "Kaito?" Miku thought not knowing her cheeks were bright pink.

Nearly before the party, Miku ran back as fast as she could. When she got into the castle she sneakily ran back to her room so no guests saw her. She shut the door behind her and rushed to shower and change into her very frilly white and mint dress with tons of ribbons on it. "I swear, I hate this dress!" Miku complained to herself while pulling up her thigh length white stocking. After she brushed her hair she pulled her tiara and placed it perfectly on her head.

"PRINCESS?! YOUR HIGHNESS, ARE YOU READY?!" One of the maids shouted from the other side of the door. "Ah, Ye-YES!" Miku shouted back then slipped on into her mint heels and walked towards the door. "Presenting, The Royal Princess of The Kingdom Of Vocaloids!" The Butler shouted. Then Miku took very careful steps down the stairs. A crowd of men where waiting to take her hand to dance. "Who I'm I gonna choose? I mean seriously!" She thought to herself. Out of all the men in the crowd she spotted a man with sapphire eyes and ocean blue hair. "Huh? Is that Kaito?" She walked over to the man then she curtsied and the man bowed. The music started as they both took each other's

hands and danced. "So.. What do we have here? A prince? A hero who saves a princess from getting run over by horses?" Miku gave him a smile. "Just a normal man who happened to pass by.." Kaito whispered back.

"I see.. Kaito was it?" She asked "Yes, I wasn't expecting to save a princess either just so you know.." he answered as he was looking into her eyes. A few minutes later the castle door flung open and a small group of men

appear. Guards went at them but they all got defeated by one single man who had long purple hair. The rest of the guards helped everyone to evacuate but Miku and Kaito was still there. Then Kaito let go of Miku's

hand and went to join the men. "Kai…to?" Miku mumbled then frowned. "Princess! Please evacuate! Their the notorious pirates!" A guard shouted. Miku gave the guard her death glance then looked back.

"So, Kaito. Have you found the VY the Second?" a man with blonde hair asked "No… But she might know where" Kaito answered and the group of men started surrounding Miku. "Where's prince Mikuo?" One of the guards asked the maid

"He went away this evening to attend a meeting with the neighbouring kingdom." The maid answered. Then all the guards went at the pirates again. But all of them were defeated. "Useless…" Miku mumbled as she watched

the men's fighting skills. After that one of the pirate with green hair asked,"Well, princess.. Might you know where the Great Vocaloid The Second Sword is?" Miku looked at him carefully but he looked so much like a child.

"Hah… You pirates want the Great Sword? I might just tell you over my dead body!" Miku shouted "Very well then…" The man with blonde hair went at Miku and she grabbed his arm and flipped him over, then she kicked him by the stomach. "Attagirl! She's a tough one if she had the skills to do that to Len! Hahahaa, thats what you got for trying to beat a girl, Len! Haha." The man with purple hair kept laughing. "Shut up, Gackpo!" Lem shouted while getting up from the ground. "Prince Mikuo is halfway here! Don't worry princess!" One of the maids shouted. "Worried? Who's worried?" Miku mumbled. "Ahhh, This is talking too much time!" Gecko complained and went at Miku, he tried to kick her by her stomach but she caught his leg and held it tight. But then Gackpo used his strength to lift his other leg trying to kick her by her side. Then he hit something hard that was hiding under her dress. Then he struggled and got back on his feet.

"Hahaa, so the sword is with you!" Gackpo said. "We don't have much time, we won't get away with this if prince Mikuo is back." Kaito said then he glanced at his men. "Alright!" all the pirates answered and went to carry Miku. Then they ran out and got on their ship at the harbour. "ALL ABOARD!" The pirates shouted and they set off with Miku.
