~A few days later~

A sad fourteen-year-old boy laid in his bed alone and quiet. He couldn't look out his window it was boarded up with wood. When he went to leave for a walk he was denied and said he needed to be kept in the castle for his own security. It irritated him a lot because he couldn't see his friend Kaito. Sighing Zero decided to get up off his bed and leave his room. He'd wander around the castle for hours. There was really nothing good to do. Going on a walk around the castle made him remember things about his family.

The king and Queen were good friends with Zero's original parents. But one day Zero's parents were killed by unknown reasons, he was left abandoned on the streets until the King and Queen decided to adopt him. A year later they had their own daughter. Yuki Cross. The King and Queen raised the two for years until recently they passed away due to a tragic accident. Now the two were left to be raised by the maids in the castle.

Zero walked around the castle, avoiding maids and guards. It would only be a few years until his coronation as King of the Kingdom. Maybe then he could walk around freely. But he couldn't wait that long. He didn't want to be kept in a cage like some animal in a Zoo. He wanted his freedom.

"Zero." A female voice called out to him, stopping the silver-haired boy in his tracks. Turning around slowly Zero was met with familiar brown eyes.

"Yuki." Zero replied and forced a smile on his face.

"How are you Zero?" Yuki asked as she walked next to the other male.

"I'm bored. I want to go outside." Zero stated to the younger girl.

"I told you, you can't. Someone's out to get you. I and the kingdom need to make sure you're safe. After all, you'll be king of this kingdom one day." Yuki reminded and continued to walk with Zero.

"But I don't want to kept in a cage like a bird. Can't the guards come with me when I go out for walks?" Zero asked curiously.

"No. Now let's drop the subject." Yuki replied firmly.

Zero frowned unhappily. She wouldn't listen to him. She couldn't understand him. She could leave the castle when she please but he couldn't? It seemed hardly fair.

Sighing Zero finally decided to ask the girl a question, "How was your day?".

"Oh, it was good. I made a cake, watered some plants, did some poetry and painting, helped do some knitting with one of the maids and then went into town to get some food with a maid." Yuki replied. After hearing that Zero missed the outside even more. He was beginning to forget what it looked like and he had only been trapped in the castle for three days.

It was unfair to keep him locked up.

And it made Zero question.

How did Yuki know bad people were after him?

Was it true?

Or was it a lie?

But why would his sister lie to him?

Sighing Zero turned on his heels, his head hung low. "I'm going back to my room." Zero replied and walked off. Yuki turned around and looked at the other with a wide smirk on her face.

Her plan was working quite nicely. But she knew it was only a matter of time until he escaped. You can't trap a curious heart. Besides, he will be 18 in only four years. There is no way he was going to stay in the castle forever. So what was she going to do? Quickly the younger girl made her way to her room. She needed to ask the Mirror this.

~In her room~

"Mirror, Mirror on the wall How do deal with my brother trying to escape?" Yuki asked and watched as a face appeared in the mirror.

"There is no way to trap him. He'll find ways to escape. The only effective choice is to chain him in a basement." The mirror replied honestly.

"But I cannot do that I need to seem innocent," Yuki stated.

"There is no innocent way to prevent someone from leaving." The mirror replied dully.

"Well if I can't stop him from escaping how can I stop him from having a baby?" Yuki asked curiously.

"Cut out his reproductive system." The mirror replied quickly.

"But he'll know it's me. I need to seem innocent what part of that don't you get?" Yuki asked, beginning to get angry.

"You can either do that or wait until he has a baby and kill it. Those are the two options." The mirror stated firmly, unfazed by the princesses anger.

'Either wait or do something now. Which would be easier?' Yuki asked in her head as she looked at the ground. After a minute she looked back up at the mirror.

"When exactly will my "Brother" be having this baby?" Yuki asked curiously.

"In four years time at his coronation, he'll meet his destined lover. He'll fall pregnant within that same year. Mere months after being crowned king." The mirror replied. Nodding the girl turned around and made her way to her large Queen Sized bed.

'So I'll have to wait a few years for him to have the baby. I guess it will be worth it in the end. I'll remain the most beautifullest of them all.' Yuki said in her head as she pulled the silky sheets up to her shoulders.

Now all she had to do was think of ways to kill the baby without Zero every finding out it was her.
