Now, it's 1926. Ten years after the revolution and the Fall of the Tsar and his family. The St. Petersburg was no longer a bright, warm and peaceful town, but a dark, gloomy and cold town. Ever since the Revolution, the lives of the people had been so grey. Everyone worked hard to get food in the factories; even it was deathly cold during winter. However, thanks to a certain rumor around the town and streets, everyone had something to be gossiped and talked about.

"Have you heard the rumor in the town?" A female worker with dirty blonde hair asked to her friend as they are working in the factory

"Of course. About the surviving family member of Romanov family, right?" Her brunette co-worker answered in excitement.

"I heard that too." Another co-worker with black hair joined the conversation. "I heard the Tsar and his wife got killed by the revolutionists, but when they were only killed four children of the Tsar and the Tsar had five children!"

"Really? Which one?" The brunette co-worker asked curiously.

"Ladies! Get back to work!" A patroller shouted to the gossiping ladies. The ladies quickly forgot the gossip and went back to work.


In the town square, many people gathered around a newspaper kiosk. Today wasn't a holiday, but everyone wanted to hear the latest rumor from the newspaper seller.

"Yes, it's true. Only four children of the Tsar were killed, only one who's still alive!" The newspaper seller shouted to the crowd.

"And who's that?" A beggar woman asked among the crowd of people.

"The youngest son of the Tsar, Kaito Romanov!" He replied loudly, so everyone could hear him. Everyone gasped in shocked and surprised.

Outside the crowd, there was a 25-year-old young man with short, brunette hair and red eyes and wearing an old, gray suit. He had been hearing this rumor several times on the streets.

"They keep talking about that Kaito boy…" He thought tiredly as he continued to listen to the newspaper seller.

"No one saw him escaped from the Palace. The Dowager Empress will pay ten millions rubles to anyone who returns the Prince Kaito to her!" He shouted the latest news to the ecstatic crowd and became so noisy. The police heared the crowd and quickly come to that place.

"Don't repeat this to anyone!" The newspaper seller hissed as he closes his kiosk.

"Ten millions rubles…" The young man couldn't believe his ears as he rushed off the dissolving crowd. He dodged several people until he reached to a building. He quietly knocked the door.

"Romanov." He said in low tone and the door was opened by a 16-year-old girl with long, turquoise twin tails and matching eyes like her hair.

"Onii-san! Welcome back!" The girl hugged the young man. The young man chuckled to see his sister and hugged back.

"I'm back, Miku. Where's Gakupo?" The young man asked his sister as he let her go.

"Gaku-nii is at the market." Miku answered sweetly. The young man smiled to her and took her hand, leading to the market.

The building was actually a part of a market building. Since the rumor became the hot topic, people began to sell something that looks related to Romanov Family. Some were selling pictures of the Tsar that the seller claimed it's from the Palace, pajamas that once belonged to the Tsar Family, A leather coat that rumored it belonged to the Prince Kaito and many more.

"Meito! Miku!" Someone hissed. They turned around and met a 20-year-old young man with long purple hair, tied in high ponytail, and matching eyes like his hair.

"Gakupo! There you are!" Meito called his friend as he came to them.

They had been together for six years and it's all started from Meito. Meito's father died because of sickness and his mother married again to another guy. They eventually had Miku when he was 9 years old. His stepfather was nothing, but a drunk who liked gambling. He finally fed up with him and ran away with Miku when he was 19 years old. Along the way, they met Gakupo and since that time, they were always together. Nothing could separate the trio.

"I heard the Dowager Empress will pay ten millions rubles!" Meito told Gakupo when they reached the back door. It was locked, but Gakupo had the key. He smiled in victory after hearing the rumor as he opened the door and then locked it back after Meito and Miku came in. They were quickly going up by the stairs.

"Briliant!" Gakupo exclaimed. "Miku?"

"I've booked the theater." Miku answered in excitement.

"Perfect! Everything is according to our plan!" He said it with full of excitement as he opened a room on the highest point of the stairs. The room filled with unusual things and odd-shaped objects since this room used to be a storeroom. Since no one used it, they made it their hideout.

"No more stealing, no more forging papers anymore?" Miku asked teasingly to Meito.

"Yes, Miku! No more living in debts! No more run down living!" Meito answered as he picked her up, spinning her at the same spot. Miku laughed happily to her older half-brother.

"All we need is the boy." Gakupo exclaimed as he opened a suitcase, stuffing some clothes and goods. He secretly opened a secret safety box on the wall and took a small, round box with green color on the lid and gold for the rest. It was Kaito's music box. He put it in his pocket.

"We will find the boy to play the part. Teach him what to say, dress him up…" Meito said it as he stuffed his clothes to his suitcase.

"And we will take him to Paris to meet the Empress!" Miku finished it as she closed her suitcase.

"We will find four tickets; One for you, one for Miku, one for me and one for Kaito!" Gakupo said it in excitement as he flung his arm around Meito's neck and he was just closed his suitcase. They went to the balcony, carrying their suitcase.

"Three of us will go down to history!" Meito said in excitement as he jumped on the edge of the railing of the balcony.

"It's the greatest con in history!" Miku said it as she jumped on beside Meito.

"Let's go for it!" Gakupo said it as he jumped on beside Miku. They looked to each other and grinned in excitement.

"And the St. Petersburg will have something to talk about!" Three of them said it together. Meito took Miku's left hand and Gakupo took her right hand and they jumped off the railing of balcony, sliding down the roof and laughing joyfully.

They eventually landed on the town square after sliding off one roof to another. A tram was just going to leave, heading to the theater. They rushed to that moving tram and managed to get broad one by one and now the trio would be heading to their once a lifetime adventure.
