Len awoke as the sunshine slipped in between the curtains. On the table that he was sleeping on was piles of books, maps and letters. He had spent the whole night studying and researching about this country's history. Apparently, the king had been captured by another kingdom in a war many years ago and died in the prison under torture. The queen had a deadly illness that no doctors could find a cure to it. She recently died, leaving only her daughter as the last person with the royal blood in this kingdom. The thing that caught his attention was the princess – Hatsune Miku. She seemed to hide something.

He walked down and ate his breakfast in the restaurant. It tasted quite good and had a different taste compared to the normal dishes in his birth-kingdom. After the refreshing breakfast, he checked out and then patrolled the town. He needed all information that he could get about the princess and this kingdom. Did he really meet the princess yesterday? And if he did, why was she walking on the streets, wearing a hood?

His instincts told him to infiltrate the castle and find out the answers to his questions there, but that could be a little risky. He got an idea and walked to the palace slowly, in his own pace. The surroundings were fantastic in this kingdom. A couple of guards stopped him as he approached the big palace.

"Who are you?" one of the guards asked.

"I am just a person from another kingdom. I wondered if I could get a job as a servant here." Len said. "I was a butler for a rich family before, but I left since I had family members that needed me here."

"Unfortunately, I do not think that—"

"Actually, I do think that you can get that job. The princess said something about a personal butler that recently moved into another city. Follow me."

Len bowed quickly and then followed the guard into the castle. The walls were decorated with red banderols inside and everything was made with marble and jade. They reached a big door and Len assumed that this was the throne room. The guard opened the door after knocking and Len quickly let his gaze move down onto the floor as he used to do back in his birth-kingdom.

"Your Majesty. I wondered if you are looking for a new servant. This young man asked if he could have the position." the guard didn't even bow down to the princess, which made Len frown. He looked up and saw that the princess was indeed that girl from yesterday.

"Ah, perfect timing. Thank you. Could you all please leave, so I can talk with him?" the princess softly said. Everyone in the room except Len left.

Miku eyed him suspiciously and then giggled. She walked down to him from her throne, wearing an elegant-looking green gown. Len looked up at her, showing no emotions.

"So it's you again." Miku said.

"I don't know what you are talking about, Your Majesty." Len nonchalantly replied.

"Oh, you don't?" Miku raised an eyebrow and then laughed. "Sorry. I must have mixed you up with someone else then…"

"May I have the job as your servant, Your Majesty? I was the butler for the Kagamine family before and decided to come over to this kingdom." Len bowed down to her and hid a smirk. He must have been born as an actor.

"I see… well I certainly don't like the part about the Kagamine family." Miku slowly said, while wandering around in the room. "Len Kagamine, a royal knight of the family known for doing so many evil deeds. And Rin Kagamine, a famous strategist that came up with the plan that killed my father."

"My master was a fine man." Len said, biting his lip, trying to not show his anger. Maybe he wasn't that good at acting, actually.

"But…" Miku walked to him and then happily helped him up from his bowing position. "… You seem like a nice person."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." he confusingly looked at her. Why did she help him, a "commoner" up on his feet?

"So if you want, the job is yours." Miku smiled and then walked to her throne again. "Could you please call everyone inside again?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Len elegantly and quickly bowed before dancing his way to the doors. Miku smiled after him, still thinking that it was the very same person from the alleyway yesterday. No one could miss that ponytail and those blue eyes.

The day went by slowly as Len quickly learned all of the rules in the castle and what he had to do everyday. It was actually a very easy job – he mostly needed to clean a little and serve the princess three meals everyday. It was perfect for him. Since he got so much free time and had to stay near her, he could easily get information.

He smiled and fixed his tie a little and walked into the throne room. Miku was sitting on the throne, poking her crown that was lying on near the throne. She smiled at him and then asked him to get some fruits for her. He quickly ran to the kitchen and came back even quicker, with a small plate of fruits. She smiled again and turned her attention to him instead of her golden crown.

"What is your name? I never asked you that." Miku curiously glanced at him while he was showing no emotion at all.

"My name? My name is Le—" he stopped. How careless he was. "Lenka."

"Lenka?" Miku frowned. "But that's a female name? Lenka Kagamine?"

"No, you must have heard me wrong, Your Majesty. My name is Lenta." Len quickly lied.

"Lenta?" Miku stared at him. "I have never heard that name."

"It's a very… special name indeed." Len said.

"Lenta, could you please tell me a little about yourself and your birth-kingdom?" Miku took some grapes from the plate and ate the violet orbs slowly while looking at Len with her teal eyes.

"I… I was born and then my mother died. My father wanted me and my sister to have a good life, so he took me to the Kagamine family and let us work there." Len replied, trying to make his story sound realistic.

"That is sad…"

Len smiled and then continued to tell her about his kingdom and various stories – some made up and some actually true. She listened the whole time, nodding sometimes. When he was done, he decided that he wanted to test her a little. How many secrets could she hold?

"Your Majesty." Len said. "Well, are there any major problems in this kingdom now? I want to help, if possible."

"Well… many people deem that I am too young. But I wouldn't call it a major problem."

"Are you planning to take revenge on the neighboring country?" Len asked.

"The country with the Kagamine family?" Miku said with almost a little disgust in her voice. Len frowned a little. "No. Revenge is bad for both kingdoms."

"That's all, Your Majesty. Thank you." Len faked a smile and then took the now empty plate with him back to the kitchen.

He couldn't understand what she meant about the last part. How could revenge be bad for both kingdoms? Didn't she feel sad, angry, and mad? He shook his head and returned to her, eager to find out more about her ways to think.

Got so many assignments and tests now, so please endure to the weekend until the following updates. owo
