Chapter 3: A Whole New Relena
Noin fidgeted where she stood, staring at Relena. She smiled pleasantly when looked at, but ignored most of the other guests. Milliardo put an arm around her waist and smiled graciously to everyone, playing the royal brother quite well. No one noticed the two never really moved from their chosen places, or that each was watching someone else.
Noin kept her eyes firmly on Relena, refusing to let her queen out of sight. Odin stood by her side, continually smiling and out of usual character. Duo continued to glare at him for not telling Duo that he was really marrying Relena. Quatre and Trowa stayed close together while Wufei had moved to a corner. No one approached Wufei, who seemed to have summoned his katana and an oil kit from nowhere.
She finally shook her head and moved away from Milliardo. Slowly she wove her way through the crowd to stand by Relena's side. She leaned over to whisper in her ear.
"Relena, I need to talk with you. In private please."
Relena looked at her still smiling and nodded.
"Of course Noin. Odin dear, we'll be right back."
Relena excused herself for a moment and followed Noin to a small meeting chamber, where no one would bother them. Noin stood looking out the small window in the chamber while Relena sat down in a comfortable chair.
"So many people Noin. I didn't expect so many people to accept my invitations."
"Well of course Relena, everyone wants to be around you. You are the Queen of Earth, after all. Has Heero found out yet, about the rumors being spread about you?"
Relena grimaced slightly and shook her head.
"No Noin, he hasn't. Why anyone would be saying that I have a stockpile of biological weapons is beyond me! I would never do such a horrible thing."
Noin reached out and touched the wall beside her, and a secret passage opened. A blond head poked through the opening, blue eyes shining brightly with enthusiasm and innocence. "Selene, go outside now and rejoin Relena's guests please."
The girl walked out of the passage way fully and nodded.
"Of course Noin. Nice to meet you Relena! Be well and safe."
Quickly Selene was out of the chamber before Relena could register what just happened.
"Noin? Who was that girl? Why did she look so much like me?"
Noin turned to fully face Relena, keeping her hands behind her back.
"Because she is you Relena, exactly like you except she never grew up in a war torn country. Selene will be your replacement, since you can no longer be around here."
She walked over to Relena and grabbed her arm, swiftly pulling her out of the seat and shoving her into the secret passage.
"You see my Queen, the Sanq kingdom does have biological weapons. and mecha, and a large assortment of other weapons. You were never told of course. But this world is full of humans Relena, and eventually they will forget the horrors we faced to attain peace, and war will start once more. We're ready to defend ourselves so the tragedies of the past don't occur as badly as before, but you were never meant to know. And now, you have to go away."
Noin stopped in a large section of the passage. They were almost outside where the cleaning crews where hidden. Relena jerked, trying to break Noin's hold on her.
"What are you going to do to me Noin? That Selene will never pass as me!"
Noin leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on Relena's lips.
"But she will Relena, I raised her myself, made sure she could be you. After what will happen tonight, no one will think about the little discrepancies in her knowledge; head traumas will do that to a person, you know?"
She pushed Relena away, and pulled out the gun she always carried.
"Goodbye Relena, maybe I'll see again some day. Though, I doubt it."
The shot rang loud in the passageway, but the castle walls were so think, no one heard.
Relena slumped to the floor without making another sound.
Noin allowed her tears to slide down her cheeks for a few moments until the cleaning team arrived from the other end of the passage.
"Did all go well?" asked the leader of the team.
"Perfect so far," she replied.
Cleaning her tears away, Noin turned and walked back up the passageway to rejoin the festivities, and to check on Selene.
