She sees the wound on his knee.
" Don't worry, I will bind that wound up. "
She get her handkerchief from her pocket and she wrapped around on his knee, in which Reinhard was felt blushed for the very first time.
" Thanks a lot "
" No problem. But next time, you should be careful of where are you going at. "
" I will be. Oh, I forgot to introduced myself. I'm Reinhard von Musel and yours, milady? "
" Selina.. Selina De Ackenberg. "
" Selina, huh? Nice name. "
" Oh, your welcome. " with a slight laughter on her face
" Hold up, are you came from the next neighborhood, aren't you? "
" Yes, we were. We had been transferred here a few days ago. Actually, I came from the middle royal class. "
" I see about it. I had been heard the rumors that your relative was working at the Empire, isn't it? "
" Yes, it is. But my uncle was retired from his job a few months ago due to some serious conflicts issues. "
" Oh, I see about it. And don't forget, I guess we were be close neighbors from now on. Our house was nearby, not far from here. My family lives there. "
" Sure thing, Reinhard. I love to! " with a smile on her face
This is the first time that Reinhard was getting flustered for the very first time.
" Shall you come to my house tomorrow after school? My sister makes some delicious Kelsey Plum cake. "
" Okay, I will "
And she walks away. On timing, Young Kircheis enters in, rushed to him.
" Reinhard, there you are. And the - "
He sees Reinhard's facial expression, felt very happy and his heart was beating faster.
" Uh, Reinhard.. are you okay? "
But he was out of his mood, said " She was so very gentle, kind and beautiful.. "
" Wa.. wait.. hold up, are you referring to Lady Selina De Ackenberg from the next neighborhood, isn't it? "
" Somehow.. she will gonna be my future girlfriend someday. "
That when Kircheis was started to wondered of Reinhard's secret feelings towards to Selina.
A few months goes by, Selina and Reinhard were tagged with each other despite they were belonged in different royal status. Also, Selina were became fast friends with Kircheis, Tom Cat and Jerry Mouse at the school in which both Reinhard and Kircheis were attended to.
Despite of her popularity with boys due to her intelligence and beauty, she was always hanged out with Reinhard is because he was different from any other boys, in both royal and high commoners.
Their bonding was developed into a strong friendship. It was started when his older sister, Annerose leaved in order to worked for the Kaiser and so, Reinhard had decided to become a soldier in order to saved his sister from the emperor's clutches and end the Goldenbaum Dynasty. As he studied to become a soldier, she along with Kircheis, Tom and Jerry were decided to followed his footsteps.
In the military school, Selina shows some unexpected unique military skills in every performance activities, in which some of the male students, mostly in the highest royal class status were started to fell over heels at her and trying to woo her but she had completely ignored them, was still devoted herself to Reinhard and nothing else.
After years later, they were finally graduated as official soldiers of the Galactic Empire. A few days later, the group visited to the house in which they were reunited with Annerose, to joined in a casual dinner.
But somehow later that night at the top of the balcony when Selina sees the statue of Emperor Rudolf, the creator of the Galactic Empire, Reinhard went approached to her, asked " What are you looking at? "
" How do you think of Emperor Rudolf von Goldenbaum anyhow? "
" And why you asked me about that? "
" Just curious.. if he makes his own rules just for their own personal ambitions.. and to make people goes against it.. I'm pretty sure that you are aware of it, aren't you? "
He turned his head, facing at her with a smile and said " Of course, I'm aware of that. If Emperor Rudolf usurped and ruled the whole universe, will I do that the same way as he did? "
" Is that was your main goal ambition, isn't it? "
That very moment, he hold her hand tightly and said " Our main goal ambition. "
" Reinhard? Are you saying that.. "
" After all, we will work together.. to eliminate the Goldenbaum Dynasty and to create a new Galactic Empire.. To tell the truth is that.. I had truly felled in love to you, Lady Selina.. from the first time that I see you. "
Upon realizing that he have strong love feelings for her, she smiles and said " I had accepted your love for you, Reinhard. After all, you are far more different from any other men in the whole Galactic Empire. My only strong devotion was belonged to you and nothing else. "
" You really mean it? "
" Of course "
That very moment, their faces were getting nearer to each other.
" I love you "
" I love you too "
And they shared their first kiss in the full moonlight.
3 years later, they were started to sent in every different missions in outside of the universe. While Reinhard and Kircheis were on the front lines in fighting against the Alliance in outer space, Selina was traveled in every planets, to helped the people who were in need.
After foughting and travelling in outer space for years, the two returned back to the Empire and they were decided to proposed in marriage. But when the battle between pure high nobles and the forces of Reinhard was started, they were decided to step aside for the moment, in order to crushed the Goldenbaum Dynasty.
Before the departure, Reinhard had promised to Selina that she will never felled in love to an another man in which she promised to him that she will never break his promise to her.
Note - It was mentioned in the First Chapter.
But despite of these hard challenges and trials in their love relationship, the two were separated apart as Selina lost her memories, in which she crossed paths with an another man, who was her life saver, the arch rival of Reinhard, Admiral Yang of the Free Planets Alliance, in which he gave her a new name Usagi.
Despite an another man who had fell in love to her, her strong devotion was still belonged to Reinhard, her only childhood sweetheart.
(Flashback Ends)
(Return to the Present Time)
(At Outer Space)
(In inside of the spaceship)
Cannot stand and do nothing, thinking on his mind that he feared of her safety, Reinhard was decided to go to the Free Planets Alliance to find her despite Kircheis and Oberstein's protests. But in a moment, Kircheis received a message from Jerry.
" Lady Selina was alive.. safe and sound. But don't you worry, me and my pal Tom were gonna looked after her. Please passed the news to Reinhard about this. We will gonna go back when she was done here in the Free Planets Alliance. "
Truly Yours,
Jerry Mouse
Then, he calls Reinhard through the computer screen, said with confidence " Reinhard, great news! Lady De Ackenberg was still alive. "
" Really? It was? "
" Of course but you don't have to be worried about it. They were gonna looked after her. "
" Please tell to her that I was waiting for her. "
" I will "
After Kircheis telled the news to Reinhard, the Marquis was felt so very happy and delighted but he had only one fear on his mind that she was having an another secret love affair relationship with an another man, in which no other than his arch rival, Admiral Yang Wen-li.
" Still concerned for Lady Selina, Your Excellency? " Oberstein asked
" Just a little bit "
" Let me guess, you had been feared that she will gonna fell in love to an another man, isn't it? "
" So that's why Tom and Jerry must sent her back here immediately. I cannot let it that to happen. She will never break my promise to her. "
" I guess you got the point. "
Back at Heinessen, Sailor Moon was still confronted against Chesca Martine while Tom and Jerry were watching at her from. behind the walls.
Chesca tries to strike her but Sailor Moon quickly dodged away, in which she kicked her. After that, she released her gun from her pocket and demanded her " Step away from the Admiral or else.. I will gonna shoot you with my gun. "
" Heh, very smart.. I guess your skills are so very splendid.. maybe you were belonged to a royal one.. from the Galactic Empire. "
" Hold on.. how did you know about my real secret? "
" I guess Yang was not aware of it that you are belonged to the Galactic Empire. A royal person just like you will never ended up with him. "
" Even I was belonged to the Galactic Empire, I still have devotion for him even he and I were different from each other. "
" Oh, really.. but this time.. you will be crushed.. "
She tries to strikes her again but it was interrupted when Gerder and the other Alliance soldiers was approaching on the way.
" Dammit! The Alliance soldiers. I must get out of here. "
And she jumped away
" Hey! Come back here! "
" We will gonna meet again in an another fight, moon warrior. "
And she leaves.
" Sheesh.. what a bad man eater she was."
Gerder and the other Alliance soldiers came in. But when they seen Sailor Moon, they were surprised.
" Who are you? " Gerder asked, with curiosity
" Sailor Moon. My name is Sailor Moon. " she said in response
" Where was that man eater Chesca? " Walter asked
" She got away " Sailor Moon answered
" But where was the Admiral? " Julian asked
" He was at the safe place, don't you worry. " Sailor Moon said
" Hold on.. where do you came from exactly? " Gerder asked her again
" Well actually.. um.. I need to proved to all of you. " Sailor Moon said
" proved? of what? " Gerder asked
She reversed back to her civilian form, in which they were surprised in astonished.
" No way! Miss Usagi.. you couldn't be.. " Gerder uttered
" Well actually, Usagi was not my real name. " she said
" Then, what was your real name anyhow?" Alex asked
" My real name was Lady Selina De Ackenberg from the Galactic Empire. " she said in response
They were surprised in shocked.
" You.. from the Galactic Empire? But why you didn't tell that to us from the first place? " Julian asked
" Is because I lost my memories at that time when my spaceship was crashed down here. Whenever you ever mentioned the Galactic Empire name, my memories were started to return back. " Usagi answered in response
" I guess you are far more different from the rest of us. " Frederica said to her
" So.. are you related to the Supreme Commander in Chief, Reinhard von Lohengramm, isn't it? " Walter asked her
" Actually, it was true. " Tom answered
" Who are you talking animals anyhow? " Julian asked
" My name is Thomas, or Tom Cat for short and this is my closest pal, Jerry Mouse. We were the childhood friends of Lady Selina and Marquis Reinhard von Lohengramm. " Tom answered
Upon seeing Tom and Jerry, Thomson whispered to Gerder and said " I guess those two were looked like us. "
" Yeah, you were right. " Gerder said
" I guess we had understood of your secret, Miss Usagi.. I mean.. Lady Selina. " Frederica said
" And please don't tell to Yang about this. " Usagi told them
" Yes, we will. " Walter responded
" So, where was he? " Gerder asked
And then, Usagi leads Yang out of the hiding spot.
" Thanks, Usagi. You have never gave up on me. "
" Sure "
But she had realized that he didn't know that she was a royal from the Galactic Empire and her relationship with Reinhard, his own arch rival. This makes her a little bit upset.
" Is there's something wrong? " turned his head to her
" Nothing, Yang. I'll be fine really. "
Somehow, he didn't knew that she was related to Reinhard despite he was deeply fell in love to her. From behind, Tom and Jerry were secretly watching of their actions.
Later that night, Usagi was talking to Tom and Jerry at the outside the window of the room.
" I might be thinking that I will gonna stayed here for a few days then I will gonna come with you guys back to the Empire. " Usagi said to them
" We understood that, bes. But hold up, how did you and the Admiral met with each other from the very beginning? " Tom asked
" He had saved me from the my crashed spaceship. He had saved my life from the brink of death. " Usagi answered
" It was? Did he knows that you and Reinhard were related? I guess he was secretly fell in love to you that much. " Jerry asked, with a little curiosity
" No, he didn't know about that. But I have to kept in a secret so that he will never knew that I was related to Reinhard. " Usagi said in response
" So.. did you really loved him as well? I guess it was impossible that a royal and a rebel can't be together. " Tom asked her again
" It was hard to explained it that way, Tom but I won't never hurt his feelings and I have to accepted it despite he have a hidden secret childhood traumatic past. " Usagi said
" Oh, I had understand that. Tomorrow was your last day, okay? Reinhard was getting much concerned about you. " Tom told her
" I will "
" We will gonna stayed out here at the outside the house. I will gonna tell to Reinhard's generals about this. " Jerry said to her
" Sure thing, Jerry. "
And the two jumped down from the window. After that, she lied down on the comfy bed and felled asleep.
Almost a half hour that she felled asleep, the admiral went into the room, just to make sure that she was sleeping. Upon seeing her, he felt happy and tapped his hand on her head and said in a low tone voice manner " Usagi.. you made my life comfortable once again since my previous best friend was gone away in this world.. but somehow, you are so very important to me and I don't really want to lose you away from me.. please, just stayed with me.. my love. "
Note - The person he referred was Jessica Edwards.
And he gave her a kiss on the forehead. A few moments later, Usagi opens her eyes a little bit, seeing him was sleeping beside her. She smiles but still she never stopped thinking on her mind of Reinhard.
The next day while the Admiral was away in early in the morning for an urgent thing to be settled, Usagi went out of the house and went at the back portion, in which Tom and Jerry were waiting.
" Nice timing, I guess Reinhard wanted to talk with you, bestie. " Tom said to her
He handled the communicator to her and she opens it.
The image of Reinhard had appeared on the communicator screen " Who's this? "
" Reinhard, it was me, Selina. " she said
" It was really you, my love? "
" Yes, I am. "
" I'm so getting so worried about you that much. I cannot stopped thinking about you for a few days ago. "
" I'll be fine, Reinhard. No need to be worry about me. "
" So.. how was your current condition? "
" I'm getting well that much thanks to these strange people were helping me out. "
" I see about it.. " with a little upset expression on his face
He must knew if she was really in an another love affair relationship with his own arch rival, Admiral Yang.
" Is there's something wrong, Reinhard? You looked so doubted. "
" Uh, nothing at all, my love - and please, go back here in the Empire. We have one last thing we need to be settled against the pure high nobles so that we will be succeeded in our main goal. "
" Okay, Reinhard but I have one last thing that I have to settled with in here but don't you worry. I'll be back in there.. I promise. "
" Are you really sure about that? "
" Of course, I love you. "
" I love you too, my future Empress. " with a loving smile on his face
And their conversation was ended. Usagi stood up.
" So.. what you will gonna do next? " Jerry asked her
" I wanted to say goodbye to Sir Gerder and the other Alliance soldiers before I leave by tonight. " Usagi answered in response
" And to Admiral Yang? I guess he was not aware that you and Reinhard were related to each other. " Jerry asked her again
" I must wrote a note for him. I'm pretty sure that he will gonna completely understand of the whole truth. " Usagi said
" And if he's not? " Tom asked
" I guess that was very impossible, Thomas. There is no way that it will happen. " Usagi said
" Oh, I see about it... " Tom uttered, with a slight nod on his head
" Well, I must be getting going then. Just prepared a new spaceship for me. " Usagi told them
" Yes, Lady Selina. " Jerry responded
And she walks out from the spot.
" Shall we, pal? "
" Sure "
But they didn't know that Yang was secretly heard their conversation, was shocked in astonished when he learns that Usagi was Selina and her secret connection with Reinhard.
And so, he went back to Iserlohn Fortress in order to seek for an answer. Upon arriving in, he sees Usagi was talking to Admiral Merkatz. But when she sees him, she told to Merkatz " I'm appreciate it for joining in the Alliance. I'm pretty sure that the pure high nobles have no chance in succeeding the Goldenbaum Dynasty. "
" I guess you really started to act like a real Empress.. the future Empress of the Galactic Empire.. I had hope that we will seen each other sometimes. And I'm so very sure that you and Reinhard will be succeeded in this mission. "
" I will, take care of yourself. "
" You too, My lady. "
And Merkatz leaved the spot. Then, she turned her back, facing to Yang.
" Are you will gonna say anything? " stepped forward a little bit
" Usagi, I need an explanation. "
" an explanation? for what? "
" Why you didn't tell that to me that you are came from the Galactic Empire? And what was your secret connection with Marquis Lohengramm anyhow? "
She was surprised, had already knew that he knew about her real secret.
She sigh in deep breath and answered in a calm manner " I know it was hard to explained it that way.. well actually.. I was truly came from the Galactic Empire. My real name was Selina De Ackenberg, the childhood friend of the Marquis. Well you see, the reason is that I didn't regained my memories back then due to the spaceship crash hit. Whenever I heard the word Galactic Empire, my memories were started to return back a little bit. I'm so sorry for hiding this from you.. is because I don't want to hurt your feelings for me. I had already tell the whole truth to your staffs including Gerder, Thomson and Julian as well. I was trying to hide this from you but.. since that you had already knew the whole truth about me. "
" But why Usagi? Why? You are turning your back away from me? Why?! " with strong emotions
Usagi became speechless, didn't know of what she will gonna say next.
" You said that you love me, right? But why you were in a love relationship with him? "
" Is because he was my childhood friend, Yang and besides I don't want to break his promise to me. I do really loved you but I was still devoted to Reinhard. "
" Are you saying that you loved him more than me? " in a serious tone voice manner
" I do really loved you but I cannot turn my back away from him and I knew that the two planets can't be united together. "
" But I really wanted you to stay with me, Usagi. I don't really want to lose you away from me. I do really loved you, Usagi.. please, I don't want to let you go.. please.. if you really loved me so much, please stay. "
" Yang.. "
And the two were looking at each other and a moment of silence was occurred.
After a few minutes later, Usagi nodded her head and said " I'm so sorry, I'm afraid I can't. "
" Why not? "
" Because as a Imperial royal member, it was my greatest responsibility to make and settled things right.. for the greater goals for the two planets.. but somehow, I'm afraid that I'm not the right destined person for you is because I'm belonged to the Galactic Empire. I guess we have to stayed distanced away from each other and besides, I don't want myself to be getting involved between you and my childhood friend Reinhard in the war battles. Please forgive me for my occurrences. and thank you for everything that you did for me... and goodbye.. "
She tries to walk away but then, Yang grabbed her hand, holding her and then he passionately kissed her on the lips.
In a flashing scene, the Moon Princess, Serenity along with a man, was wearing white royal knight clothes, were standing at the rose garden balcony in front of a tree.
" I love you, Princess Serenity. "
" I love you too, my only White Light Knight Lilino. "
He hold her tightly and his other hand touches her long hair. Then, the two were shared a passionate kiss.
Back at the present, upon he kissed her, thought on her mind " That strong spark.. I felt that it was just like.. it was happened just like this from before.. what kind of feeling is this? I felt it that he had never let me go... is because that... he truly loves me..? "
After the romantic moment, Usagi was reacted, with blush on her face.
" I love you so much, Usagi.. more than everything. No matter what it takes, you are the only lady in my heart and nothing else. "
" Yang.. "
" Just promise to me that you will gonna come back to me when the war in the Galactic Empire was over, okay? "
" Okay, I will.
" And please.. don't ever betrayed me, you understand that? "
" I will never ever betrayed you and your love for me, Yang.. I promise and I love you too. "
Yang smiles of what she had said.
And then, she departed from Iserlohn Fortress, riding in her new spaceship along with her closest friends Tom and Jerry. This makes the Admiral was felt sad and disheartened, had realized that his love for her will be forever unrequited despite she was belonged to someone else.
That moment, Julian enters in, seeing his new facial expression.
" Uh, Admiral.. are you okay? " with a little bit curiosity on his face
But Yang remains silent.
" Let me guess, you had already know her real secret, don't you? "
Still, he remained silent in which Julian was started to getting curious of his new mood.
Meanwhile to Selina, she was felt disheartened as well, thinking on her mind that they will never be together despite she was belonged to Reinhard. But still, she still accepted his feelings and love for her.
In inside the spaceship, she was watching the night stars in the skies. Jerry went approached to her, and said " Selina, we will have to met up with Sir Reinhard in his spaceship immediately. "
" Sure, Jerry. "
He bowed and leaves.
" Reinhard.. I'll be going back... as I had promised to you... I'll be there soon.. "
On the other hand, the army forces of Reinhard were almost usurped and wiped out every pure high nobles forces, who were have no idea in military stuffs and systems.
Even the leader Otho von Braunschweig was not aware of what will gonna happened next, became more impatient than ever. He had been realized that Selina was returned back alive, thinking on his mind that she and Reinhard will gonna destroyed him and the remaining forces and he has a secret evil plan on his mind: to challenge her and used Reinhard as a hostage bait. So, he ordered Ansbach to sent some other soldiers to kidnapped him and sent a demand note to Selina.
But somehow, Ansbach was not satisfied of what Braunchsweig planned against the couple. He tries to persuaded him to surrender but Braunchsweig will never listen.
The secret kidnapping attempt was reached to Kircheis, was surprised in shocked. He thinks that Braunschweig was trying to eliminate Selina and so he ordered Mittermeyer and Reuenthal to warned her immediately.
And so the two went off to find her.
On the other hand in inside the spaceship Brunhild, Reinhard was still sitting at the throne chair while waiting for Selina to come back. Oberstein on the other hand, was out to get something from the back.
After a few minutes later, Reinhard heard a loud noise from afar.
" What was that? "
He stood up from the chair and checked at the back portion. But in a moment of sudden, he was been surrounded by a group of masked soldiers.
" Hold on.. what was the meaning of this? Who had ordered you? " with a surprise expression on his face
" The boss leader orders us to kidnapped you and used you as a hostage bait, to lured and eliminate your precious Selina. "
" Braunschweig ordered that? No! You will never eliminate my childhood sweetheart, never! "
" Really? Then, we have no other choice but to forced you.. if you really wanted to see your beloved again alive. "
And so, they secretly kidnapped him and took him to an another spaceship. Oberstein on the other hand, was unconscious on the floor, due to that they knocked him by a thing on the head.
Back when, Mittermeyer and Reuenthal were finally found Selina along with Tom and Jerry in inside the spaceship.
Upon seeing those two, she asked them " Mittermeyer! Reuenthal! Why you two are here? "
" We were so glad that you are safe and sound, Milady. But we got an urgent big problem. " Reuenthal said to her
" an urgent problem? "
" Your Excellency... I mean.. Marquis Reinhard von Lohengramm was in great grave danger. He needs you right now. " Mittermeyer said to her
She was shocked of what he had said.
Now that Admiral Yang had finally discovered that Usagi was Selina De Ackenberg and the childhood sweetheart of Reinhard, he had realized that his love and feelings will still be accepted by her.
And so, Selina was on the way to be reunited with Reinhard but however when she sees Mittermeyer and Reuenthal coming, and tells her that Reinhard was in great grave danger is because Braunchsweig wanted to eliminate her and used him as a hostage bait. Then, she was shocked in surprised of what they had said to her.
