Mai's POV

I woke up feeling very tired and my body felt painful. I was about to stretch up when I felt something restrict my hands. I look at it and realize that I was chained to the walls. Things that happened before I blacked out, rushed back to me. He doesn't care anymore. Suddenly the door opened and the witches wearing slutty lingerie enter. "Well, seems like you're awake." Misaki said as she grabs a fistful of my hair and threw me to the wall. I felt a bump forming on my head. This is gonna hurts. She took out a knife and stabs my right shoulder then dragging it until it reaches my middle finger. She did the same with my left shoulder. I hissed in pained and she slapped me several times. This time Masako started to skin a part of my thigh. She also did the same for the other. "I guess this should do for today," Misaki said and they left. Naru, help me. What am I thinking? He doesn't care anymore. He's just a liar. I felt my heart ached and soon I black out due to the blood loss.

Naru's POV

I woke up due to a ruckus caused by Gene. "Noll, noll! Wake up! Mai left," He shouted in my ear. "So?" I muttered sleepily. "I already knew about that. She said goodbye last night." "WHAT?! Did you stop her?" Gene enquired and I replied with a short "No." I suddenly felt pain on my face. I glared at Gene who was also glaring at me. "I wonder what's gotten into you these days. Yesterday, you've been acting cold to her and because of that she cried herself to sleep. What do you think will happen to her if her step family found her?" Gene Yelled at me and left. Why didn't I realize that? I'm so stupid. Wait, why do I even care about her? She's not stupid enough to go back to her house anyway. I continued the rest of my day doing paperwork but somehow I'm still worried about Mai. I'm sitting in my office and suddenly my office door burst open. My twin entered with a furious look on his face. "We're going to look for Mai and when we found her, YOU are going to apologize to her," he said, empathizing the 'you', and pulled me away. We look around the village asking people whether they have seen a teenage girl with brown eyes and short brown hair. We kept on enquiring people and each time they say no, I felt even more anxious. "I think we should stop for today. It's already dark," Gene suggested as I nodded and we went back to the castle. The next day, as soon as I woke up I quickly dress up for today and met up with Gene at the gate. "Come on let's go," I said. We spent the day looking for a brunette and to our disappointment; the search came up with nothing. "Maybe we should ask mother and father for assistance," Gene said as I shook my head and replied, "Let's just try by ourselves first. Anyway we got two weeks to relax right?" He nodded and we kept looking until the sun goes down and went back to the palace. This kind of routine keeps on happening but we still didn't find her. We are starting to lose hope.

Mai's POV

After a few days of torture, they finally stopped. The last day of torture was the worst day of my life. I sure that I'm covered in bruises and wound that are still bleeding. They let me go and I wandered to the kitchen and met Ayako. "Mai?! What happen to you?!" she shouted as I flash her a weak smile and lose consciousness.

Mai's Dream

I stand in a grassy field and saw a familiar figure. Naru, it's naru I ran happily toward me when suddenly he turn to face me. I took a step backward as cold eyes that belong to my favorite narcissist stared at me. "N-Naru…" I said as I reached out to touch him. "Don't touch me!" he shouted and left. I broke down and cried. He hates me… He really… hates me… He doesn't care anymore… Liar… Filthy liar… I kept crying and crying when suddenly my parents appeared. "Little princess," they called. I wiped away the tears and hugged them. "Mommy, daddy. Why do you leave me alone?" I enquired. "Mai, you're not alone. You got friends with you. So don't cry," mommy said as she stroked my hair. "It's time for you to wake up Mai," daddy said and I asked, "Will I see you again?" They nodded and I felt myself smile.

I groaned and tried to sit up but failed. I realize that someone must have moved me to my bedroom. The door suddenly open and Ayako came in bringing a tray of food. "Mai! You've woken up!" she said. "How long have I been out?" I enquired and her reply shocks me. "WHAT?! I've been out for a day and the sluts didn't try to wake me up?" I asked again. "No they did try but I told them that I'll be doing your job while you're sleeping so they didn't," she answered and I apologized. "It's okay. I'm the one that volunteered," she said and I smiled at her. After I finished eating breakfast, I took a bath and changed my clothes. I went to the garden and met Bou-san. "Yo, Mai-chan! You okay?" he asked while ruffling my hair. "Yep!" I answered cheerfully. I sat at a bench and chat with him. "Bou-san, are you still a monk?" I asked curiously. "Yes, kinda. Well, I used to be monk before I work here but once in a while when I got free time, I might go and help people exorcise spirits. I also earn from those exorcisms," he explained. "Oh!" I said. "MAI!" a shrill voice screamed. What does that hag wants now? "Gotta go, Bou-san. See you later," I bid him goodbye and rushes to her 'Majesty's' calling. I enter and asked politely since I don't want to get another beating. "Mai! Polish my shoes and make it quick!" Misaki shouted. "Where is my dress?" Masako shouted. I grab the younger bitch's dress and gave it to her and took the old hag's shoes and went outside to polish it quickly. After I hand the old witch her shoes, I went out of their room. I went back to the kitchen and heard the despicable people left the mansion. "Yes! Finally!" I exclaimed. "Hey, Mai. I want to ask you something. Where did you go?" Ayako asked as Bou-san entered the kitchen and approach us. "Umm… The castle," I replied. "WHAT?!" the two adults shouted. Ouch. One of these days, I gonna get deaf soon. "Explain!" Ayako said and I start explaining, "Well, Gene or you could say Prince Eugene said that he is looking for his childhood friend who is actually me. So they make me stay in the castle for a while and when I was on the way to go back here, I met the bitches." I decide to make a lie. Well my explanation is half true anyway. Suddenly the bell rang making the three of us look at each other. "I'll do it," Ayako said.

Gene's POV

We've been searching and asking but still we didn't find her. "Let's try to visit the Taniyama Mansion," I suggested. "I don't think she is there but it's worth a try," Noll replied. When we arrived, I immediately ring the bell. A red haired maid opened the door and asked, "Ah, your majesties. What brings you here?" "We're looking for Mai," I replied. "Oh she's inside. Please follow me," the maid answered as she went inside with me and Noll following her. We went into the kitchen and saw Mai with a man laughing. "Mai, you got visitors," the maid said and pulled the man out. "What the- Let me go you old hag!" I heard the man shouted followed with the sound of a head gotten hit by a fist and the voice of the adults bickering. Mai giggled then looked at us, shock is written on her face. "Ah, Gene, Oliver… What are you guys doing?" she asked with a hint of remorse. "To bring you back," my twin answered. "Why?" she asked, confusion in her eyes. "It's obvious right?" I said but it seems that she still doesn't understand. I sighed and stared talking, "You are precious to us." "Liar," she whispered. "I'm sorry but I think I'll stay here," she decided. "Why?" Noll asked. "I don't want to bother you guys," she replied casually. Why does she keep on thinking that she is a burden? "Ok, I see," Noll said and my eyes widened. "Come on let's go Gene." "What? Noll!" I shouted in fury. "What? She doesn't want to come so just let her be," he stated and left.

Mai's POV

When Gene said that I'm precious to them, I don't believe it at all. Well maybe I am to Gene but to Naru… I'm not sure. I told them that I'll stay here and when Naru left after saying those words, I felt my heartbreak. Tears started to blur my vision. "Princess," Gene said. "Come with us, it's safer there." I look up and flash him a sad smile and head to the garden with Gene following her. "Why?" the older twin asked. "Why? I don't know. Maybe because I want to avoid Naru," I answered and he asked for a reason to my answer. "Gene, do you know that love is like a chocolate? It is sweet but it is also bitter," I told him and he enquired, "You love him?" It is more of a statement than a question. I nodded and said, "I do but he doesn't. I don't understand him. He was so kind last time then suddenly he acted coldly. I really don't understand him. I really hurts you know." Tears started to stream down my face and Gene pulled me into his arms. I buried my head into his chest and cried as his hand stroke my hair while muttering words meant to calm me down. "Shush… It's okay princess," he said. When I calmed down, he said something, "You know Mai, Noll tends to push away people that really care for him. So it's okay Mai, please come with us," he pleaded as I reluctantly nodded. "Good girl now let's pack your stuff," he cried cheerfully and I asked, "I'm going to move there?" Gene looked at me and nodded happily. I sighed and went to pack my things. Both of us didn't notice someone observing us from faraway. After we pack our things, I went to Bou-san and Ayako and said, "Bou-san, Ayako, I going with them so take care okay? I'll visit once in a while when the hags are not here." Tears brimmed on my eyes and I hugged them tight. "Be careful okay, Mai," Ayako said and I nodded. Bou-san looked at Gene and said, "Take care of her. Don't make her cry or got hurt." I said goodbye again and left with Gene. The three of us, Naru, Gene and I, depart for the palace.

Masako's POV

We were going back to the mansion when I saw Mai entering the carriage with the princes. I felt jealousy bubbled up in me. How dare she?! That bitch is going to pay! I thought angrily and look at mother then said, "Mother can we visit the palace tomorrow and also stay there for a few days?" "Of course, my dear," mother replied as I smile at her. Mai, watch out cause you're gonna pay!
