It would go in more detail on why Luna attained the throne, but mainly she was the only one was left to rule, besides Kazumi, which would show more on why he didn't rule.

Chapter three:

Princess Mikan was exhausted and very bewildered of the turns of events that happened tonight. She was glad that her Aunt Luna waved her off to her bed chambers, instead of making her go back in that suffocating ballroom. However, she would have loved to get more information about this intriguing Robin Hood character. He had been plaguing her mind ever since she had returned into her room. Heck, she probably would be dreaming about him tonight, if she kept on thinking about him.

"Your highness, you look like you're lost in a daze, care to enlightened me?" Sumire asked while brushing Mikan's long, golden brown hair.

"Well, I've been thinking about Robin Hood, do you know much about him?" Mikan inquired, hoping to get some answers from her.

Sumire halted from brushing her hair, and she was silent as a suspect. Mikan noticed in the vanity mirror, Sumire's impassive expression changed into pure giddiness.

This definitely caught Mikan off guard when Sumire started giggling like one those animated school girls from the academy she attended.

"Well, he is totally gorgeous, courageous, and is sly as a fox. He also goes by the name Black Cat too, which totally portrays his mysteriousness. And he robs the rich to feed the poor, such a selfless man!" Sumire held onto her flaming cheeks, and had a love-struck grin formed on her lips.

Mikan was very thrilled that this turned into a lighthearted conversation because it helped Sumire loosen up. Also, she was excited to be engaged in this girl talk, and putting her thoughts about him to bed. Sadly, the conversation turned more serious when Mikan found out how much her Alice subjects were suffering with heavy taxation.

"If I talk to my aunt in the morning during breakfast, I'm sure I can lay off her putting taxes on them and even let some of them join back to their aristocratic titles," Mikan's voice was very optimistic, one of character traits that she portrayed.

Sumire bobbed her head for a response, "I really do hope you can, your highness, but it might be a lost cause, "After Sumire finished brushing her hair, she told Mikan some maids will come in to help change into her nightgown attire.

Before Sumire abide her a goodnight, Mikan grabbed her hands and unlocked those dreadful shackles off of her. Sumire looked at her dumbstruck, Mikan smiled at her reaction.

"I asked for a key from my aunt, it was hard to get one from her, but I was able to obtain one. I consider you a friend, not a person who should be treated as my prisoner, and you really did nothing wrong," It looked like Sumire was about to cry of Mikan's passionate words, but she restrained herself.

"Word of advice, your highness, it is better to not trust anybody," Sumire left with the shackles, leaving Mikan to ponder over her words.

Mikan sighed, awaiting the arrival of her maids so that she could retire for the night.

XOX

Beyond the castle walls, deep in the Northern Woods, there was a camp that was hidden behind a flock of sturdy trees. The camp had various trees houses, with a flicking bonfire put in the middle, and there was a beautiful lagoon not too far away from the camp.

The camp was lively as usual, but it was even more boisterous than it usually was. You see, the rebellion was informed of Princess Mikan's returned, and they were all in a heated argument on what to do about this new information. Some were saying that they should kidnapped her as bait to lure Queen Luna out, while others were against that crazy idea.

However, it didn't take long for their leader to return, which is none other than the Black Cat or Robin Hood. He approached them by the bonfire, looking superior to them as always before he took off his notorious mask.

"I've met the princess today, and she does not share the same perception as Queen Luna. I've overheard some of you saying we should capture her, which is a great idea," Some people applauded at this while the others booed. This cause a riot between the two different parties, the ones who agreed or the ones that disagreed. So he had to use one of his methods to silence them.

He had a flame ignite from his hand, and portrayed a demonic look as the flames danced before his very vibrant eyes. This made everyone shut their mouths, they even trembled in fright, even the men and the women that were considered the bravest fighters.

"As you may all know, the Alice archery tournament will be in a couple days, so I find it the perfect opportunity for us to cause a riot and capture her. What do you say?" Everyone nodded in unison, agreeing to his plan.

They all retired to their homes, except for this blonde fellow who lingered behind. He approached their leader, who was actually the leader's very best friend.

"So how was the Princess, or should I say your lovely, Sweetheart. Did she recognize you after all these years?" He asked his friend teasingly, but you could detect the seriousness in his tone.

His friend replied with his usual, "Hn", for a response, and was about to walk away from him. His blond friend grabbed onto his shoulder, looking at him with pity.

"She didn't remember you, did she. Well, I'm sure she will remember you soon, Natsume," He said to his friend optimistically, using his real name that nobody had call him for years.

"You're probably right, Ruka. And once she sees me shoot with my bow and arrow, it would be impossible for her not to remember me," Natsume smirked, with an air of confidence, already planning on how to make his grand entrance for a certain brunette.
