Chapter 4

Everyone sat in silence.

"The Kou empire?!" Shouted Ja'far and stood up. "Why would they want to capture you?" He asked.

" It's not exactly the whole family who wants Princess Miyũ.," said Hiroyuki quietly to himself they all heard him heard him.

"What do you mean Hiroyuki?" asked Sinbad with a serious tone.

Everyone looked at Hiroyuki expecting him to answer but Miyũ answered for him " The one who wants me captured is Kouen Ren.." She said with a sad face.

"But why does he want you?" Asked Sinbad.

" Well, apparently I'm fascinating to him..." She said while looking down at her food. "I think I just going to go to bed. Thanks for letting us stay here." She said then left quickly before anyone could say anything.

" So...Hiroyuki how long have you been Princess Miyũ's assistant?" Asked Sin

"For almost 15 years now" Hiroyuki looked down at his hand as he continued

" She saved me you know." He looked up at Sinbad.

"What do you mean?" Asked Ja'far.

"My family was killed when I was little so I lived on the streets after that. And one day I tried to steal some bread from a group of men and.." Hiroyuki hesitated

"Then what happened?" Asked Sinbad

" and I got caught... they dragged me into an alley and started beating and kicking me..." He took a deep breath and then continued " and that's when a little girl came and started shouting at the men and hitting them with a stick" Hiroyuki let out a small chuckle " after a while they noticed that she was the Princess and they ran off. After that, she took me in and I then became her assistant." Hiroyuki looked at Sinbad. " Please don't blame her for the awful things her family did. Most of her life she has been locked up in her room because of how she looks."

" Of course I don't blame her for her family's actions."

" Thank you," said Hiroyuki and bowed to the King "

Time skip (Outside Miyũ's room)

Outside Miyũ's room stood Sinbad. He knocked on the door and after a while, the door opened.

Out came Miyũ in this:

" I'm sorry for disturbing you Princess but I would like to talk to you," said Sinbad. " Can I come in?"

"Of course come in," She said as she stepped aside so he could come in." So what is it you wanted to talk to me about?" She said while closing the door.

"Hiroyuki told me that most of your childhood you were locked in your room." He said with sad eyes.

"Yeah cause every time I went out I was always picked on and sometimes people would throw rocks at me..." She said as she sat down on her bed. " Most of them didn't know I was their princess..."

"That's horrible.."

" Yes it is... so when I found out what my father was doing I asked him to stop but he wouldn't. He was very angry when he found out that I had sneaked out so I was a lock in another room that looked like a cell." She said as she looks up at Sinbad. "I'm sorry I could do anything.."

" It's okay I don't blame you," He said as he stepped closer to her and hugging her. " I'm sorry you had to go through that"

Just as Miyũ was about to say something there was a loud crash coming from outside.
