Harri POV

Nike was able to drag the child King with us to the back garden. The two were messing with each other. I relaxed under the dome with it's high arches. I sat on the bench within while watching Nike and the King yell at each other and makes fools of each other. Nike ran around enjoying the garden. Though they ate lunch under the nice dome by the pond with me. Which ended up with Nike and the King in the pond after lunch.

It wasn't until after the two were playing a game with a ball, that the wind shifted around me. I closed my eyes and focussed on what the wind was trying to convey. My eye snapped open, there was an intruder. I turned to see Neil carrying a tray with a drink into the garden. I turned to see the ball vanish behind bushes and Nike and the King arguing again.

There was a flash of metal in the bushes. Nike saw it and placed herself in the way of the arrow just as it was released. I had a half a second, if that. With a panicked thought, the arrow snapped in half and fell to the ground. I had commanded the winds to slice the arrow. Quickly after the arrow was rendered useless, I used the water from the pond to capture the assassin.

With the capture of the assassin, I turned to my sister. "Are you alright?" she nodded. I signed in relief. Then I focused on the assassin, ignoring the King as he stared at me in shock. The assassin was surrounded by water, with only his head free, in front of me. "One would think the people wouldn't assassinate a child." Fire bloomed in my hand. Hatred for men that would kill a child, a man that could have killed his twin, bleed through my system. "You will tell me who hired you, or you will suffer."

"Harri!" I tilted my head as a signal I heard Nike, but refused to turn my attention from the assassin. "Calm down! There's no need to harm him." I felt a hand on my arm, the one with fire raging in my hand. I quickly vanished the flames in fear of burning Nike. But I refused to release the man from the water prison. I glared at the hired killer. "Harri…. release him. The guards are here to take him."

"No…." I growled. The water started to rise from the man's neck.

Next thing I felt was pain. I fell to the ground. I blinked and looked at my sister. Still in her punching stance. I turned to see the assassin on the ground, the water had broken apart with my concentration broken due to the pain. The guards taking the man away.

I rubbed my cheek. "Did you really have to hit me?" I grumbled. Nike's eyebrow twitched.

"If you had listened I wouldn't have hit you. I didn't even hit you that hard, you big baby."

"The hell you didn't!" I yelled back as I stood. The sibling bickering had begun. We bickered for a good five minutes before the little King seemed to have enough. He must of really wanted answers.

"SHUT THE HELL UP! THE BOTH OF YOU!" the King yelled. Nike and I stopped yelling at each other and blinked at the Sun King.

"What?" we both ask in confusion.

"What just happened? The fire? the water? the arrow?" the King asked.

Nike tilted her head to the side. I just looked at the child and raised an eyebrow. Like I would answer that, and tell all my secrets to power grubby King.

"That's Harri's ability." I blinked. Did my sister…. no she wouldn't… I turned to my sister as she continue to talk. "Our Grandma says Harri's not really a Rain Summoner, but an Elemental Summoner. A really strong one since he controls his powers with his mind." … My sister really is stupid…. I never though my secret would be told by someone just asking my twin sister.

I felt a headache coming on. I covered my eyes with my hand as I looked upwards towards the sky. Though Nike just kept going not noticing my reaction to her spilling everything to the child King. ….Actually that may be the reason she's telling the Sun King, he's a kid.

"While he can summon rain, like I can, he just needs to command the sky to rain. I have to sing, and to sing I need to be inspired. Though Harri is the only Elemental….. Our family thought them a myth until Harri almost burned down the forest in the backyard."

I looked back down and Nike ad the King. The King was looking at me in aw and …..hunger?…..

I was silent for a few seconds, until Neil interrupted it. "Your Majesty, the doctor you called for is here."


The next few days were the worst. After the Sun King talked to the doctor, the King had the doctor confirm my ability to bare children. After the confirmation I was then told to stay in my room, as was Nike I latter learned. Apparently Nike caught a cold, and had a high fever. Eventually I was given a guard that owed me a favor (from poker night) that allowed me to see my sister. No one removed me from her side.

Also the tension from the servants and the castle was high. When I asked one servant said, "Because of the assassination attempt, the entire country is under high alert. And not just that. Using this opportunity, the King plans to eliminate the dissenters. His Majesty himself is holding the hearings."

My eyes widened at the fact the King was holding the hearings. "What has been the result?"

"Some of his retainers have already lost their status. Though they've been punished by having portions of their land seized, among other things….."

I felt my face soften. Gently I stated, "Your worried."

The servant nodded. "If things continue… If he continues to tighten his hold like this, it's inevitable that your lives will be in danger again…."

I nodded and looked at my sister. Her fever had gone down, which meant she would wake soon. "I wish to speak with the King. See what I can do to help, maybe help him cool down his temper."

"No, you won't." I turned to see Neil. "As soon as you sister is awake and well enough to travel you are to return home immediately."

I stood. "What?! No way!"

"It's the King's orders," Neil said before leaving the room. I sat back down and curled my hands into fists. Damn it.

Nike had awoken the afternoon. The doctor said she could leave in the morning. Nike was upset after I explain what was going on. She had wanted to march and yell at the little King, but the maids stopped her. Who knew my sister was weak against females.


The carriage ride was peaceful…. If you removed the pouting sister to my right out of the equation.

Neil was the one to make the remark on her mood, "You're in quite a bad mood."

Nike snapped back at Neil, "Of course I am! He's make a fool of Harri and I! Writing a divorce letter like this…"

Neil calmly replied. "Didn't you say you didn't want to come here?"

"Hmmm?" I looked to my sister. "I know I said it in the dungeons…. but I don't remembering you saying so dear sister…"

She ignored me, and replied to Neil. "I'm just angry at how heartless he's being!"

I blinked. "Sister, he's not being heartless. He's sending us away for our protection. He's trying to draw out the people who hired the assassin, which puts not only himself in danger but also us. He's removing us as targets."

Nike looked at me with surprise, as Neil nodded his agreement.

Though Nike quickly went back to her anger. "If he is in such danger, he should just modestly ask for our help. He suddenly sends us away, and without even showing his face."

Before I could respond, Neil bowed. "Allow me to apologize, on behalf of my Lord."

Both my sister and I blinked in confusion.

Neil continued without looking up. "He…. doesn't know how to reach out to someone, because his enemies are the only ones who surround him."

hmmmmm…. the opposite of my past life, a trusting fool who trust his enemies without knowing. The Sun King refuses to trust, unlike Harry Potter. My past life was too trusting, too forgiving, and it lead to betrayal from those supposed friends. After all, Potter had an expiration date when placed under Dumbledore's manipulations. This Sun King, a child, was not the fool Potter was. He sees the manipulations, he sees his enemies….. but he also sees no allies. The child had few allies, like Neil. That this servant helps with the paperwork, and in general helps the King shows Neil is trusted. And with the words and actions Neil just provided in the carriage shows he truly cares for the child King.

I close my eyes. "There is nothing to apologize for, he is doing what he thinks is best for us. He brought us to this Kingdom, and we are guests at the moment." I opened my eyes and looked at the surprised Neil. "He hasn't chosen who would be his spouse, therefore we don't have the power to fight by his side. Our…. legacy has yet to be entangled by marriage and family lines."

Nike turned away with her face steaming red from embarrassment. Neil on the other hand looked at me with confusion. "You talk like a politician….."

My lip quirked at the one side in amusement. "Let's just say I have political experience. And very good at seeing the truth in the matter…"

It was then the the carriage came to a stop.

"What's going on?!" yelled Neil as he stepped out of the carriage. "Hey, what happened?"

The three of us looked out of the carriage to the carriage driver, who was no longer in the driving seat but on the road looking at the Sun Kingdom. "It's serious! We can see the flames from the palace!"

My eyes widened. Livius was in trouble!
