Epiclogue

~A Twin's Castle in the Sky~

In the far, far away high lands, lived a wealthy family that ruled over the city. They helped everyone in the city, no one was poor, but everyone was treated like dirt. This city had a Princess going by the name; Mary Jane.

Mary Jane fell in love with a shepherd. He was young and loved animals. He thought Mary Jane how to love animals and how to care for people, and this man's name was George. Mary Jane disguises herself as a normal hooded citizen and going by the name Jenny every time she's in the city.

Her best friend who is also the wealthy family's duke, Jake. He was the same age as her, but he already achieved a lot in life and climbed his position quite well. Jake's parents are the personal guards of the King and the Queen, and he as the Duke is a standing bodyguard and friend for the Princess.

Outside the grounds of the Princess' family, lived a poor girl named; Maria. She was raised by strict parents, and was forced to do labor work just to get money to feed herself and her family. She is an apple seller in the morning, inside the City, and a prostitute at the evening working at a bar, just right outside the boundary.

Mary Jane and George always met outside the said, bar every evening talking to each other endless as the Duke waits for the Princess, Maria always talked to him.

One evening, the King discovered of the Princess' affair and decided to stop her from going to the bar. George, having been alerted of the events, went to the castle. Mary Jane got chased until out the balcony, with her father after her.

"Mary Jane! Do not do this foolishness!" Her father told her. She remained quiet as she pressed her back to the balcony's railings.

She then jumped out of the balcony as George swiftly caught her. "I love you, Mary Jane, let us leave this dark place and create a family of ours."

She hugged him in delight. 'Yes! Oh Yes! George! I will! Let us go!' But then suddenly a horde of horseshoes echoed amidst the evening. The Cavalry was going after the man; George. With the fast movement of the horses, guards managed to grab the Princess by the arm and pulled the two of them away from each other.

"George!"

"Mary Jane!"

The Cavalry took the man away, outside the city.

"You are exiled from the City from now on. Do not even try going back inside again."

George rested inside the Bar, as to it was the very near to the City's entrance. When Maria welcomed him inside then she kissed him. So passionately that he had no choice but to kiss her back. "We cannot do this Maria, or you will be a sinner." The blonde female that Maria is, just looked at him in woe.

"I do not care, George. I know you love no one else but Mary Jane. But before I am dissipated from this world, allow me to express my love for you." She kissed him with all the might she have. She must have him no matter what. However, George pushes her away and opens the door behind him.

"I am sure you know of my current circumstances, but that does not mean I would have to go with you." He told her and went outside. She chased him and kissed him again. This time, he gave in to temptation.

Inside the castle, the Duke was telling the Princess of such treachery George has committed. He told her that he was having an affair with Maria, the Prostitute. The Princess then requested a meeting with George for one last time. Giving their love that she thought to be true, one more chance.

"Fate-chan~"

George agreed to meet her and went into the castle. He bowed down his head as he walked through the castle walls. He knew he was now viewed as a criminal as a felon, news of him falling in love with the Princess and as he was rejected, he then flirted with a prostitute.

"Fate-chan~ is that interesting?"

The Princess looked at her as he entered the hall. "Is it true?" She walked towards him talking to him like she was a normal citizen. He nodded to her and that was all that she needed. She then proceeded to walk past him. Tears streaming down her face, she walked faster until her walked turned into a run. He ran after her.

"Fate-chan~~"

He caught up with her and grabbed her hand. "Let go of me! You're a monster! A traitor! A criminal! A betrayer! A felon! A…. A…. I'm such a fool." Mary Jane kneeled and pulled her hands onto her face. "I… I'm such a fool…"

George walked up near her and kneeled. "You're not a fool, Mary Jane… I wasn't intending to betray you… I… I wasn't betraying your love…"

"Fate-chan!" A certain Takamachi Nanoha grabbed a certain Fate Testarossa-Harlaown's eyeglasses up in the air.

"W-wah—" The blonde reacted in awe as she looked at her glasses which is up in the air, held by a certain brunette. "N-N-Nanoha!" The blonde with her hair down stared at the standing female beside her.

Takamachi Nanoha then suddenly plopped beside the blonde and peered at the book the red eyed female was reading. "Is this any good?"

"I-I-I-I-I-I-It is!" Flaxen female, although flustered she admitted. Blushing madly at the close contact she could not focus on her book anymore.

The blonde was reading her book quietly at the school's rooftop because she arrived at the school early in the morning. Not noticing her girlfriend had sneaked up on her she was surprised.

"Fa-te-cha-aan~ Mou. Is the book more important than me?" Slate blue stared into red, her eyebrows furrowing.

"Of course not, Nanoha." The blonde regaining her composure, answered her and cupped the brunette's face into her hands. "You're always the most important."

She leaned in to kiss her.

"Because Nanoha," She said and breathed on top of her lips, "You are my life." And they kissed.

"Look at these two. Getting it on so early in the morning." Hayate said as she sighed, standing in-front of the rooftop's door with fan girls peeking at the scene from behind her.
