Len's POV
I stood on top of our huge, grand, marble staircase waiting for their arrival. I give a glance at Akaito who seems to be excited to see his brother again. I too am waiting for my own relative. Its been a whole month already...
The light of the sun shined through the palace windows. Oh what an everyday sight here in Shining Sun. The trumpets suddenly play and being caught off guard, I nearly fell down the whole fifty flight of stairs.
The doors creak open (because mother and father are going cheap—hey! that rhymes!) and three figures walked into the room, their armour making a lot of noise. They stopped walking and were at least 1 metre away from the first step. One by one they take off their battle helmets, revealing their male faces.
The one on the left with the purple hair, is Kumui Gakupo, the mad wizard and backup knight. The one in the center with blue hair (and ice cream problems) is Shion Kaito, Akaito's cousin. He is the son of the leader of the S.S. Army. He is also the knight that gives the report of the battlegrounds and other boring, war stuff. Then the one at the right with the same blonde hair as me (but only messier) is my cousin, Oliver. He is a prince but he has more freedom than the princes who are the heir to the throne or first born. He still has that his signature bandaged left eye. Its too...hurtful to remember that...memory...
"Report," my father's booming voice startled me (surprise-surprise) and echoed through the whole room. Or even the castle. Kaito stepped forward and bowed. "Sire, it seems that the enemy has retreated. The 'Queen Bee' has called for them. We're sending most soldiers home but keeping the ones that are strong enough to go on to stay and guard. I summoned Griffith in small mode so he can report any further information about the enemy returning. That's all and father sends his wishes." Kaito finishes with a bow then steps into line again.
"Dismissed." Father turns and walks away alongside mother with a couple of servants following. Me and Akaito race down the marble steps carelessly and attacked the others in a bear hug. It was uncomfortable (with their armour and stuff) but I haven't seen them since last month. We all pull away and just stare at how each of us has grown.
"I hope my laboratory is not in a wreck, is it not?" Gakupo asks and I nod, "Its only messy when you're around, Einstein" We all laugh at Akaito's joke and the way Gakupo's face turned bright red.
Bright red does not look good with that guy's hair.
He pouts like a girl then leaves us to go to the 'EGGPLANT WORKING STATION'. Leaving us and my servants alone.
"Akaito that was a little mean, don't you think?" I turn and face him. "Oh LLLLeeeennnnnnyyyy~," Akaito sing-songed, "Weren't you laughing along, too?" Akaito pinches my cheeks whilst making goo-goo noises. I slap his hand away and face the knights again.
"Hey! Our manly shota has finally used both the power of his shotaness and manly-ness (if he has any) to defeat the evil redhead!" Kaito makes annoying sound effects that sound like guns shooting mixed with girly screams.
"I'm not a SHOTA!" I pout. "Actually you're right ...YOUR THE PRINCE OF SHOTA!" I swear these brothers are surly related.
Oh, and shoot me now.
"No! He's the shota!" I screamed pointing at Oliver. Oliver swallows down his pride. "Can we please change the subject?"
No fair.
"So was it rough on the battlefield?" I ask glancing at their dirty armour. "Definitely! And all we ate were some salty flying pigs insides, some mouldy cheese and 'used' water!" Oliver says almost on the verge of tears because of remembering that disgusting experience. "Even as royals, all we got special were tents to sleep in, a pass to use the toilet every 5 hours not every 10 hours and some boar pie!" Kaito sighs and looks down at the ground. "Sometimes even the boar pie is late! The tents blow away while we're gone and the toilets smell of old animal droppings, rotten flesh, forty day dirty water and lousy aims causing the floors to be slippery!" Oliver adds and pats Kaito's back.
"He had the toughest experience in the toilets..." Kaito gives a sniff and I feel pity rising. "The showers were horrible too." "YEAH! We only get to shower every 5 days and if we ran out of clean or dirty water they'd make us shower in mud"
Disgusting.
Ok I've heard enough of life on the battlefield. I signal Kiyoteru and he immediately rushes over. "Kiyoteru here will show you to your rooms. Make it last as long as you can." Kaito cheers up a bit and Oliver quietly follows Kiyoteru. "Don't worry there's ice-cream and your sailor hat is in your room, Oliver!" CRASH SLAM BANG CRACK THUMP
I'll let Kiyoteru handle that.
Somewhere really dark... And someone's POV
It maybe dark but with the few candles surrounding the room, I can see everything. This time she seems quite satisfied with herself.
"They don't know what's coming!" She cackles loudly while the rest of us stays quiet. Her blonde hair bouncing on her shoulders as she cackles. "Girls. I've decided," No. "We go to the kingdom..." Oh no. "of" Please don't. "The Shining Sun!" Nooooooooo!
I knew this was going to happen sooner or later. I knew it was coming. I can read her easily no matter how hard she tries to look stony-faced. But why? Why go this far?!
SISTER! What happened to you?
