A/N: Hello! I'm Kurasu, and I'm not exactly new to the fanfiction world, but i have written (though this one probably sucks). I created this super long fanfiction because Kaden is just amazing okay? Everyday I'll post a new chapter, but until we get to the end of the first part of this story (you'll see why later on...). I hope you enjoy this sorry as much as I did writing this reader insert!

Sincerely,

Kurasu

"Jacob, Jacob! Come here quick!" A little, plump-cheeked you ran down the hill. It was storming and a few dogwood trees stood there among other flowers in the Nohr Courtyard. Jacob hurriedly followed behind. He was the son of King Garon's Butler and just completed his apprenticeship. He was trained for all situations and needs of the Nohrian Royal Family... But not for this type of situation.

"Lady (Name), please do run a tad bit slower. Whatever it is, it can wait a few more seconds."

You continued running though, even as the storm rumbled and the winds started to pick up. An injured... Animal of sorts layed there in the shelter of a Dogwood tree and you knelt next to it.

"Poor birdie! Jacob, can we nurse this birdie back to health? Please..?"

"Milady I don't think it's a bird-"

"It's a bird and we need to help it!" You were about to burst to tears. The preteen Butler blinked, then gave a small smile and gently picked up the animal that was in pain, or what you called, "a birdie".

"My, this poor thing got itself in quite the situation..."

"Jacob we can help it right?"

"Course I can, a Butler must be a master of all things to serve his master after all. How did you know that the creature was hurt?"

"I was outside walking in the garden, and it started storming, then lightning came and struck the poor thing! I saw it all happen! I've never seen a birdie like that though, where did it come from?"

"Milady (name), this birdie definitely isn't from here. Must have come from outside our borders-"

"Wait there's an outside?"

Jacob gulped, just realizing he accidentally said too much. Too much information that you could know. It was King Garon's orders, and Jacob mentally prayed to the Gods he wouldn't be killed or dishonorable for already disobeying an order the first year on the job.

"Well Milady, forget I said a thing."

"No tell me, how is the world? Have you seen it?"

"Frankly not."

"Tell me about the outside! I've never seen it before!"

"Very well," A cold sweat trickled down the young butler's pale face. "But when we get inside he castle and patch this Birdie up."

"Right!" You exclaimed and then started running into the castle because it started to pour.

"And done. The Birdie needs to heal, so we will have to tend to it everyday. It seemed to only break a limb, so that's good."

"Jacob you could anything and everything!" You exclaimed then smiled at him.

"So now will you tell me about the outside world? Oh I'm so curious! It must be a nice place with people like my family right?"

"Well outside this castle, there is a bunch of people who live together in different groups in different lands called Kingdoms. We have quite a number of Kingdoms we are close by, but some groups of people prefer to live far away from others."

"Why so?"

"Because some Kingdoms don't get along. Different beliefs, some problems. Nobody's perfect, not even the neutral Kingdoms who stay away from these so called Kingdoms."

"Oh... Then why can't they all be kind?"

"I don't know, but maybe they wouldn't be fighting and not getting along if they learned from someone as pleasant as you." Jacob smiled at you and you beamed back.

"Even with all that, Jacob I want to see the world!"

His smile then turned into a frown.

"Milady the outside is dangerous. You wouldn't want to see it. Anyways, it's late Miss (name), I think it's time to tuck you in."

You pouted and sighed. Flora and Felicia, two of your maids that were slightly younger than Jacob then ran in and ushered Jacob out of your room. You waved at Jacob before he closed the door and then started to get ready for bed with their aid. Little did they know an idea sparked in your head.

And that idea would be dangerous.

"Wake up Lady (name)! It's time to eat breakfast!"

"Yes, we made some sweet pastries made with blackberries!"

You groggily woke up to see your two maids hovering above you. Felicia was holding a breakfast platter (barely though, the platter was shaking in her hands, just waiting to slip), and Flora was holding a breakfast platter as well, smiling.

You sat up and Felicia handed you tea from her platter, but then shortly slipped and-

Crash!

She fell on the floor and the tea set dismantled in seconds. Flora sighed and said "Excuse me Milady, I will clean this up right away."

Felicia got up with Flora's help and they walked out of the room arguing.

"Felicia you broke the last tea set in the Kitchen! Now how can we serve Lady (name)?"

"I don't know! But I'm sorry Flora!"

"How about you apologize to (name) and not to me?"

"I will I will! Once we come back with the cleaning stuff."

You realized that maybe with was your chance to actually escape and see the new world. You jumped out your bed and opened up your wardrobe to see your vast collection but then started to hear the footsteps and sound of Flora and Felicia coming back to your room. You fled back inside the room and pull the blankets over your torso, pretending to eat your blackberry pastry.

Flora and Felicia came back with a mop bucket, cleaning Felicia's mess.

"Ugh! Felicia the cost of that tea set was priceless! Priceless! And you broke it?"

"I know I know, it was an accident though Flora I swear. I just... Tripped."

"Well I hope you saved enough money to buy the tea set because after all it was your fault!"

"Yea, yea I'll go to the village and get a tea set. After we serve Lady (name) her lunch. Wait Milady, do we have permission?"

You shook your head while gingerly eating your breakfast in bed.

"Of course, I know Jacob can take care of me."

Flora smiled but then Felicia looked up from the floor and gasped. "Oh my gods! Today Lord Silas is coming!"

"Lord... Silas?" You questioned. Since when did someone besides your brothers and sisters ever visit? This was odd, but nevertheless would be interesting. Maybe he could tell you more about the outside...

"Oh yes! Lord Silas is a wealthy Lord, and has close ties with your Father! I think you will enjoy his company."

"Oh okay! Then make sure the Northern Fortress looks festive please! A-And not so gloomy!"

"Of course Milady!" Felicia chimed as Flora exited the room, going to throw away the shards of ceramic.

"But Milady, we need to dress you up right for today. What do you want?" The pink-haired maid asked as she opened up your wardrobe.

"Hmm... How about the (color) outfit?" You pointed to the garment and beamed. Felicia giggled and pulled out the garment.

"Quite the excellent choice Milady."

You came down the long spiral of stairs to meet up with this "Lord Silas" in your (color) dress and a matching ornate laced headband. Felicia and Flora had arranged a nice dinner party just for you two. But in the back of your mind you worried if you would mess up so you went through every single manner rule Jacob told you.

How would you survive?

An unfamiliar grey-haired boy with spiked hair chatted with Jacob, and right away your nervousness washed away.

"Lord" Silas was just a kid. It wouldn't be that hard right.

"L-Lord Silas?" You muttered out, stepping down the last step then curtsied politely. Silas bowed down as well and grinned.

"Finally I got to meet you Princess (name)!" Silas chimed. "I heard a lot about you, so I wanted to visit."

"Visit?" You blinked.

"Yea!" Silas smiled. "So what do you typically do?"

"Hang out in the garden. It's dark outside but the plants there bring light to this place."

"Do you mind if I can see it?"

You looked at Jacob who nodded and so led the Silved-haired noble to the garden. When you got to the glass door, you opened it up and smiled at the boy. The boy looked at the garden and gaped in awe.

"Wow... Princess (name), your garden is amazing."

"Really? Thank you! By the way you can just call me (name)." You giggled. "I think your the first friend I ever had besides the staff of Northern Fortress."

"Really? Why?" Silas blinked in surprise.

"Because," you whispered "My Father says I'm 'special'."

"What do you mean by special?"

"I don't know! I seem normal. Except these ears are kind of odd, they say it's a birth defect." You pointed to your ears and smiled.

"They look like elf ears! You know those creatures... I wonder if they exist..."

"Yea! So Silas..."

"Yea?"

"Have you seen the outside of Nohr before?"

"Yea, why?"

"I've never seen anything outside these walls..." You sighed sadly.

"Well, (name), the outside world is beautiful! It's big and huge and there are so many Kingdoms! Like one time my Father brought me to this Kingdom where they had an opera house! Everyone there was friendly! Also in Nohr, there are these cool wolf-people, and also villages that sell good food and cool weapons!"

"Wow... I would love to see that."

"Yep! I've been to every single part of the world except this one Kingdom called... Hoshido I think?"

"Why not?"

"Dad says we aren't friends with them. Doesn't that suck?"

"Totally! Hey Silas you are pretty cool. I think you are my first and best friend!"

"Best friend? I've never had one..."

"My neither! What do you say 'Best Friend'?"

"I say we should be 'best friends'!" You chimed and you two giggled as you laid down onto the grass, looking up at the Dark Nohrian Sky.

"Hey best friend," you asked after the two of you had a long silence.

"Can you help me see the outside world? I really want to see it..."

"Of course!" Silas looked into your red eyes and smiled. "What do you want to see?"

"I want to see it all, even the other Kingdom!"

"(Name)... I don't think that's safe. But I want to help you at least see the world. It's a nice place... seriously."

You then grabbed his hands and pouted.

"Can you please even help me escape to see the rest of the world at least? Silas please? I'm just asking for you to help me escape. Once we can't see the Northern Fortress in sight, then you don't have to help me anymore. Promise."

Silas sighed. "I don't know... We will need a good plan. A very good one."

You grinned. "Then come everyday! We can figure this out, somehow... Okay?"

"Got it.-"

"Lord Silas your Father is here!"

Silas sat up, and so did you in suit. You both ran to Jacob and then looked at each other.

"Well see you tomorrow then Silas?"

"You got it 'best friend'!" Silas smiled then winked at you. You winked back then hugged him and whispered in his ear "Remember we will discuss escape plans okay?"

You then let go of the hug and Silas nodded then bowed, making his exit out of the Castle. Jacob narrowed his eyes and looked at you.

"Exactly what are you planning Milady?"

"Jacob, you can't know, it's a secret!"

For the next few days Silas came everyday to see you, talking about escape plans in the Garden. Of course, when nobody was around. Jacob grew suspicious of how you two wished to be more alone everyday, but never questioned it. One day however, as you two walked around the gardens finally found something that could be your escape to freedom.

A hole big enough for a tiny kid like you in the wall that surrounded Northern Fortress. You and Silas looked at each other in disbelief, surprised not even Jacob, a perfectionist, wasn't able to notice this imperfection on the spot.

"(Name), I can't believe we found it! And I got an idea."

"Oh really? Tell me!" You squealed.

"Well simple. Tomorrow wake up early, and open your window to get out. Now you need to get over your fear of heights and also be discreet when climbing down the castle. You miss one window ledge," Silas used his little hand to mock a slice to the neck. You gasped quietly, and he continued with a hushed voice.

"While this all happens, I'll make sure to come early tomorrow and distract the maids and butlers as much as I can. Especially Jacob, since I know he will be the first to notice somethings wrong. If our plan get demolished but you are able to escape out the castle, then run. Just run. It doesn't matter what they say or do to me alright?"

"But what will happen to you Silas? It would be foolish of me to just leave and not worry about you!"

"(Name), you deserve to see the outside world." He gave a cheeky grin. "I think you'd like it and I'll risk anything for your happiness!"

"You mean it?"

"Yea I do! I really do..."

"Then Silas, escape with me. Once they find out just follow me and run too!"

"(Name), it's not that simple." Silas shook his head. "I don't think the adults will let us have it the way we want it. Either way, only one of us will make it, and that person is you."

You smiled sadly and muttered "Thank you so much."

"No problem (name)! It's what friends do, right?"

"Yea Best Friend!" You then hugged him tightly, so tightly that Silas choked out "(Name), y-you... Can... Let go now."

You promptly let go and Silas breathed heavily. Jacob then called for Silas because his Father had showed up again to pick up the little Noble, so Silas waved goodbye and walked away. Hopefully your plan would work...

"Jacob! Jacob! How is Birdie doing by the way?" You asked as you were walking down the hallway with the Preteen Butler.

"Well about that birdie..."

Your eyes widened anxiously.

"It disappeared. I don't know where, but it did..."

"Disappeared?"

"Yes Milady, maybe once it was better it decided to join its flock, or a family of birds, so they can fly to whatever destination."

You sighed sadly, but Jacob kept talking.

"Lady (name), just think about it. The bird must be happier with its flock than to be here in this fortress."

"I guess..." You mumbled as Jacob opened your bedroom door.

"If you don't also mind me asking Milady, but you have seen to be very interested in Lord Silas. Do you perhaps like him?"

"L-Like him?" You stuttered. "What's that?"

"When you like someone you always want to be around that person and also want to be more than just friends."

"Well does being best friends count?"

Jacob chuckled a little bit at your response and shook his head "No Milady, that's just a friendship. And a very special one at that. However you'll know you like someone."

"But how?" You questioned innocently, your feet dangling as you sat on the side of your bed. Jacob smiled and pointed to your chest.

"Your heart will tell you that you like that person."

"Oh. Well I like you Jacob... And let's see. I like Felicia and Flora and Silas and my brothers and sisters and..."

"Lady (name), I think you need to go to sleep."

"But wait I'm not done! I like the knights and guards and all of them! I like flowers and trees."

"Lady (name), that enough. It's time for you to go bed now."

You pouted and Jacob gave you a stern look before you bursted into a fit of giggles.

"What's so funny Milady?"

"Nothing!" You giggled even more and fell backwards onto your bed. Jacob gave a brief smile then walked over to the door.

"Well goodnight I suppose Milady. It's quite very late and you need your beauty sleep. I'll send Flora and Felicia to get you ready okay?"

You nodded and then the silver-haired butler left.

As Silas said, you woke up early. Earlier than Felicia and Flora. It was hard to tell in Nohr the time of day, but 'morning' was when the clouds seemed like a dark lavender, and 'nighttime' was a deep violet, so deep that it looked almost black. You tiptoed to the window and opened the latch, then started your adventure. Looking down, you realized that you had to climb down 8, far distant, window sills. However you tried not look down and carefully leaped down to each little ledge. In the distance you heard the sound of a carriage and recognized it was most likely Silas, the boy who was helping you through all this. Then you heard guards coming to your Maid and Butler's aid to attend his services. Finally you leaped to the ground and started sprinting toward the forest-garden you cherished and hid there as you saw two guards walking through the courtyard. When they were gone, you then started running again, searching for that little hole you could fit into. You did so and started running outside the castle. As fast as your little feet could carry you.

It was too easy though, this escape. You ran away from the fortress until you found yourself a cliff.

Also when you turned around, there it was. Guards. A whole battalion of them. And behind the guards, Silas was held captive by Flora and Felicia. Jacob came out of the guard's battalion and held his hand out.

"Please Lady (name), you need to come back home. Is this what you were planning to do with Lord Silas, run away?"

"Yes..." You mumbled, backing away slowly. You didn't want to be here anymore. You just wanted to visit the outside world. The rock beneath you started to crumble, as if it answered your wishes and-

Chk-

The piece of rock that supported you fell and you fell along with it. Down to oblivion. You screamed at the top of your lungs for what fell like forever. What would happen after this? Was this the end? Because you were just curious?

You stared up at the dark sky above, and shut your eyes, hoping this will all go away.

"Don't worry I gotcha covered!" An unknown voice grabbed you. For what at first felt like human skin all of a sudden felt like soft fur. Very soft fur. You opened your eyes to see a... Dog? A large dog, embracing you.

"Are you okay there?"

You then passed out.
