Rumor in Tokyo
Ten years past since that fateful day, and the entire Royal Family was declared dead, or at least stripped of their title. Reports said that Prince William was now an employee at a sports mart, Princess Catherine was now a hair stylist, and Prince Cassius and Princess Carline both now formed their own restaurant. In the mean time, Charles, who was publicly executed, left the throne absent until his brother, who was presumed dead as well, took the throne. However, the country was in tatters. The Japanese people had done everything in their power to take their vengeance on the Britannian people. Britannians who were left in Japan were abused, and discriminated. In the homeland, their was crime and corruption, since no one trusted the young looking emperor. Besides, he was only the steward in a sense, since Britannian law dictated that only a child of the emperor could truly became the emperor or empress.
Because of that, the country was weak, and everyone knew it was only a matter of time before other countries began to eat away at it.
However, rumors were spreading around in the Tokyo among the Britannian people, of one princess still be alive, and still technically holding her claim to the throne.
In the nearest factory people were singing.
Tokyo is gloomy.
Tokyo is bleak.
One Britannian worked in a kitchen, and was forced to work the fridge.
My underwear got frozen standing here all week.
People began to file across to get some newspaper.
For since the rebellion, or lives have been so gray.
Thank goodness for the gossip that gets us through the day.
Hey!
People filed out into the main center. It was a summer day, and everything was green.
Have you heard?
There's a rumor in Tokyo!
One tall teenager, with blonde hair and a braid went through the crowd. As he shifted around, he grabbed a banana off a cart, and flicked a few bills at the vendor. His name was Gino, he was formerly a noble, but he and his family lost their position.
Have you heard?
What they're saying on the street?
Gino and some others leaned into a newspaper kiosk.
Although the emperor did not survive, one daughter may be still alive!
Some people gasped at that thought, before swinging around.
The Princess Euphemia!
However, a Japanese soldier glared at them
And please do not repeat!
As Gino managed to slither through the crowd through the crowd, the people continued singing.
Its a rumor, a legend, a mystery!
Something whispered n an alleyway, or through a crack!
Its a rumor that's part of, our history!
Gino ran up to an old abandoned theater, and whispered a password. One woman who was selling trinkets, was handing out models of the young Princess Euphemia.
They say her royal stepmother will pay a royal sum,
To someone who can bring the princess back!
As Gino went through, a Japanese boy, cleared his throat, taking his attention.
"Gino!" he hissed.
"Suzaku!" Gino said. The two whispered to each other briefly, before moving off.
Suzaku went past a vendor selling some paintings.
Ten dollars for this painting, its Britannia, I swear!
Gino walked past a vendor selling some clothes.
Carefully sown pajamas by the pair!
Both of them walked past one more vendor.
I got these from the palace, its lined with real fur,
It could be worth a fortune, if it belonged to her!
Gino and Suzaku entered their hideout.
"Well Suzaku, I got that theater we needed!" Gino informed.
"Perfect!" Suzaku said," We've got everything we need, except for the girl!" He lead the way up the stairs.
"Just think about it Gino!" Suzaku continued," No more discrimination, and no more scraping for money! We'll have three tickets out of here! One for you, one for me, and one for Princess Euphemia!" Suzaku then began singing.
Its the rumor, the legend, the mystery!
Its the Princess Euphemia who will help us fly!
You and I friend, will go down, in history!
Suzaku gathered some goods up.
We'll find a girl to play the part, and teach her what to say!
Dress her up, and take her to Pendragon!
Imagine the reward her dear old grandmama will pay!
Who else could pull it off but you and me?
We'll be rich!
Gino then jumped in.
We'll be rich!
Suzaku continued.
We'll be out!
And then Gino did.
We'll be out!
Then the two sang together.
And Tokyo will have more to talk about!
The duo slid down to ground level, as the people continued singing and dancing around.
Sh!
Have you heard, there's a rumor in Tokyo!
Sh!
Have you heard, what they're saying on the street!
People then began babbling to each other.
Hey!
They continued babbling.
Hey!
Have you heard?
There's a rumor in Tokyo!
Have you heard?
Just what do you suppose?
A fascinating mystery!
Suzaku and Gino hopped onto a bus.
The biggest con in history!
The people then loudly cried.
The Princess Euphemia!
A lie or….
Who knows?
Sh!
