Summary: Serena, the last royal of Opora, lost everybody she knew. Ever since the day she saw her parents die in the fire when she was 12, set by the army of Salpania, she vows to get even. Eight years later, after the hard training and suffering of the lost, she seeks her revenge. But when she became Salpania's Queen's guard as a disguise, she meets Darien, the prince. With the help of Darien, can Serena tear down the wall that's been keeping her so miserable all of these years? Or is she too afraid of love to ever let go?

*****************************************
"This is great!" cried the queen, "Now dear you don't have to just stand here and watch me. Why don't you go dance with the young ones?"

"No thanks, it's not part of my job," reply Serena as she watch Darien dance with one of the girls.

"Oh come on Serena. You don't have to stand here. Nobody will come up and kill me! After all I am surrounded by a whole bunch of people!"

"You should go Serena. Enjoy life while you're still young," came the King's weak voice from his royal chair.

"But-" Serena began to object.

"No buts. You go dance. You look so beautiful in that white dress! Look at all of the men staring at you!" said the queen,"Here why don't I call Darien. He's almost finish dancing with that brunett girl." The Queen looks around the ballroom looking for Darien. "Ahh there he is, Darien!"

"You called?" ask Darien as he came up to them.

"Yes," said the Queen," Here I want you to dance with Serena. I don't want her to be bored all night."

The two people stared at each other as if they were about to take a knife and stab it into one another. 'No way am I going to dance with him!"

"Sure mother," reply Darien as he took Serena's hand. She hesitated a moment until Darien tugged her.

"Be careful! I almost sprain my ankle!" hiss Serena.

Darien led her down the stairs. He wrapped his arm around her.

"Serena I cannot let you kill my mother nor my father," began Darien.

"Who said anything about killing your father. Your father's already weak. Why not let him suffer? After all, THEY made ME suffer!"

"The two kingdoms were at war. What did you expect."

"I expected them to know that a little girl would suffer!" cry Serena as they twirl around.

"Look, my mother is very fond of you. She had always wanted a daughter. And you were like a daughter to her," said Darien. "It would break her heart to know that you're actually trying to kill her."

'So the Darien hasn't told the queen about anything.....' thought Serena.'Poor momma's boy's too afraid to break her heart.'

Serena laughed a bitter laugh. "And you expect me to fall for that? It isn't going to work."

Darien tightened his arms around her. That brought her closer to him.

He glared into her eyes. "I'm not going to let you hurt her."

"Then you're going to have to work very hard."

The music ended and so did the dance.

Darien letted go of Serena with much understanding than he once had before. He felt sorry and pity. He had always thought of Serena being the stubborn, obnoxious little bitch.

Now he knew.
