|If you're short on money, that's no fearful thing. Just take it from those who you dangle on a string.|
"Lady Melia, we're getting low on money."
"Very well. Fetch the Minister," Melia replied to the lowly servant, who nodded and backed out of the room. The white haired princess waited a few moments before the Minister, a black-haired, short man, appeared in her room. Shaking, he gave a small bow to Princess Melia, then said with a shaky voice, "Lady Melia I have been called by Zaylia. S-she has said you n-needed me." Melia nodded, her eyes glazed with malice.
"We are low on money. We shall get money from the Reds and if they do not do it willingly, we will force them," Melia commanded. "You are the leader of the army. We shall take a select few men." The Minister nodded, and shakily agreed, "Of course, Your Highness. I shall get strong men." The princess smirked. "Good. Very good. Now hurry up and do it. You are dismissed." She flicked her arm, dismissing him.
The black haired girl relaxed in her mansion, truly enjoying the life of the rich. Despite being rich, Sharla was not greedy, however much she relaxed and enjoyed her mansion with nearly perfect gardens. She was the richest girl in Red Section, often compared to Princess Melia in whispers, though said by some to be a whole lot nicer.
"Sharla, you've been thinking again?" Juju, Sharla's younger brother, peeked around one of the corners. She laughed slightly. "Yup, I have been, Juju. I'm still impressed you can tell." Juju smiled and asked "What have you been thinking about?" Sharla looked out the window, and replied, "Thinking about those people who compare me to Melia. I don't think I'm a lot nicer than her..."
Well that was about to change.
The army were dressed as normal people, and there were only a few of them with Melia. She walked down the street and entered the house of Sharla and Juju. "Hello. "We are here to take money for the Imperial Palace since we are running out. We shall not take all of your money, just enough. Is that understandable?" Melia stated commandingly, getting straight to the point. "We won't give it up, sorry, you could be fakes, 1 and 2 I really don't want to. I really don't mean to be rude, but our money means a lot," replied Sharla, shaking her head.
"You absolutely sure?" questioned Melia. "Yes," replied Sharla, staring at Melia. Melia glanced back at the 5 army boys behind her. "We knew this would happen. Very well. Boys," she said, a small smirk crossing her face.
The army men took out their weapons, and began beating at Sharla and Juju. Sharla's rifle was not in the room at the time however, and the two were defeated. Though still alive, they were very scratched, and couldn't stop the royalty from taking the money. Melia's voice became soft and fakely sweet, walking over, her black and gold dress shimmering.
"You should have said yes," she whispered. "Or else I wouldn't have to do this to you." She straightened up. "This shall be all, boys." The army men nodded, and she walked over to them, then they exited the mansion, Melia stopping at the door and saying,"Goodbye." and then leaving as well.
"...Sharla?" Juju looked at the red wearing, black haired female who was his sister. Her face was contorted with rage as she stared where the royalty had been just moments before. She stood up, and her voice shook as she replied, "Yes, Juju?" Juju asked, "Are you okay?" Sharla looked back at Juju, frowning. "...I don't know. But I do know one thing. We are getting that money back." Her voice was filled with anger. "B-But Sharla, it's impossible for us to do it with just the two of us," cried Juju, attempting to rationalize with his sister. Sharla growled. "Humph! I guess you are right. But we will have our revenge one day."
Juju got up and held Sharla's hand. "For now, just calm down, Sharla. You need rest." Sharla looked down at her little brother as he said so, and stared for a minute. Then she nodded. Juju lead his sister to another room in the mansion, mulling things over.
