Prologue
"Here Milliardo. Take your sister and go," Queen Katrina whispered. She handed him the unconscious seven-year-old girl. He cradled her in his arms with confusion obvious in his icy blue eyes. "Hurry before they catch you."
"I'm not leaving you or Father," the tall boy replied angrily. "Don't ask this of me, Mother." His eyes softened as his mother gently smoothed back his long platinum blond hair. Sadness glazed over his eyes as he watched his mother stroke Relena's cheek. Relena was knocked unconscious when an explosion blew up her room. "Mother, please."
"Take care of your sister, Milliardo," Katrina ordered softly. Suddenly shouts and explosions could be heard nearby. "The Alliance is coming. Promise me that you and Relena will make it out of here."
"Mother..."
"Promise me!"
Milliardo hung his head in defeat. He couldn't deny his mother's last request. "I promise." He stood up with Relena in his arms when King Stefan came through the secret passageway in Relena's room.
"This way, son," he declared, motioning at the darken passage. The passages were built centuries ago for refugees, and now they had become corridors of survival to them. Milliardo stopped before the entry, tears threatening to fall, but he couldn't cry in front of his father, his idol.
King Stefan smiled, understanding his son's feelings. He hugged both his son and daughter, knowing that he would never see them again. Katrina joined him. The Peacecraft family stood together for one last time, and if someone could see them now, he or she would weep at the sorrowful sight.
Another explosion rocked the room. Machine gun fire echoed the halls, and the shouts came closer. Milliardo stepped through the doorway and looked back at his parents. They were standing side by side, hand in hand with sad smiles on their faces. He would never forget this moment as it will stay forever engraved in his memory.
"Live, my children. Live and never forget who you are and where you come from," Stefan stated proudly. Suddenly there was banging at the barricaded doors. The Alliance was here! "Run!" He pushed his children inside and quickly concealed the passage before the Alliance soldiers burst in.
"Goodbye, Mother, Father. I love you both," whispered Milliardo. He clutched his still unconscious sister to his chest. "So does Relena." He ran down the passage just as he heard his parents' agonizing cries. He ran and ran until he could see daylight ahead of him. He couldn't stop the flow of tears down his face. The cries of his parents repeated over and over in his head. Milliardo stopped at the end and searched the surroundings before stepping out. He was in the forests the surrounded the palace. Holding Relena carefully, he made his way to a hidden grove in the forest that overlooked the palace. Setting her down, he looked back at his fallen kingdom.
Relena groaned slightly and slowly opened her eyes. "Milliardo?" The teenaged boy looked down at his sister and helped her up to her feet. "What's going on? Where's Mother and Father?"
Milliardo kneeled down so they were eye to eye. He clutched her shoulders and sighed heavily. "Listen to me, little sister. You're old enough to understand what I'm going to say." Relena's brow drew together in slight confusion. "They're gone, Relena. The Alliance has taken over the Sank Kingdom. We have to leave now."
"Where are we going to go?" she asked as tears fell from her eyes. She didn't need him to explain. She understood what was happening. Their home was gone.
"I don't know, but I promise you that we will come home someday. We will take back what is rightfully ours," Milliardo said fiercely. "Now come on we have to go before they find us."
Relena slipped her tiny hand in his and looked up at her handsome brother. She knew that he would keep his promise. He always did. Together they disappeared into the forest, knowing that one day they would see their beloved home again, and they will be a force to be reckoned with.
The Alliance successfully took over the Sank Kingdom in approximately three weeks. The royal family was removed from power, and the Alliance put a dictatorship into place. The king and queen were dead. However, the two royal children, Milliardo and Relena Peacecraft had disappeared and could not be found.
