Chapter 9 – The prince and the princess

Two years have passed since the wizard had left her side. She had succeeded in perfecting all the needed skills for a princess and the kingdom was getting ready for her to finally marry even so, she refused. The stubborn princess looked to the mirror and whispered something, as she did every day since the wizard's disappearance.

"You promised me right? That you wouldn't leave me for too long so, I've polished the mirror every day and ever since that day I've been waiting. I'll wait, no matter how long it takes. I'll wait for you."

Later on during the day, the princess and her nanny were once again arguing

"Princess! You must choose someone to marry! Please stop talking to this old mirror. Really what happened to you during those ten years?"

"It's important to me ok?"

"Ok, but you must choose someone today and that is final!"

The nanny stormed out of her room. Rin collapsed onto her bed and thought long and hard, soon she had to meet the princes. But before she could walk downstairs her father called out to her.

"Riiiiiinnnn! Someone wants to see you!"

She slowly walked to the throne room. There, in front of her intimidating father, was a hooded figure dressed in black. As she tried to get a closer look tears formed in her eyes and the figure took down his hood.

"Hello, I'm a wizard who can grant your wishes."

Her tears would not stop falling.

"Len!"

She ran into his arms and cried even harder finally she looked up into the wizard's eyes.

"You're late."

"Ah… sorry about that."

They both smiled with both smiles being the replica of each other's and laughed.

"I escaped and finally found a way to enter your world with little risks," Len explained that night. "Even so, I lost my magic so can't grant you any more wishes."

Rin smiled and replied, "As long you're with me, I wouldn't mind if I went back to the room hidden in that roof."

"I'll never leave your side again."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

Fin.
