chapter 5: walking down memory lane
a 14 year old girl with red hair and pale white skin wearing a dark red dress was ridding in a carriage. She was on her way to the Kingdom of Normandy. She was to go there for the alliance that his diseased father had started and willed her to continue.
After a tiring trip the gold carriage came to a halt towards the gates of a castle. the gates were dark blue with silver boarders and a silver crest of the country of Normandy in front. Soon they proceeded inside. They stopped at the main door of the castle. two large silver doors soon opened and servants came out of the doors. The same insigma was engraved at the steel doors, but this seal was dark blue. The young girl was soon helped out of the carriage by the foot man and she was escorted by a servant wearing a blue dress and a white cloth apron with a big bow in the back.
The girl was soon escorted to a room with two big doors (A.N. notice I LIKE big doors! :p) with the same crest Normandy crest but was silver and the door had more intricate designs. Two guards opened the doors, and they proceeded. Inside the room two thrones was viewed and a man in his early twenties with a woman was sitting on the thrones.
As the girl neared the thrones she could see the faces of the people sitting on the throne clearly and she was quickly drawn to the man sitting on it. When she reached the throne she made a polite curtsey to the people on the throne, but, she never took her eyes off the man. She was staring at him so intently that she never realized that the man was done talking.
"excuse me…my lady…are you well??" said the man
"huh…oh! Yes yes Im quite alright sire" she said still looking at him
"as to repeat what I had just said, my name is King Thaddeus the I, ruler of Normandy…my wife" Thaddeus said turning to the woman beside him lovingly
"the lovely queen of Normandy, Queen Erila" the woman known as Erila smiled at the girl. But the girl was jealous of the attention king Thaddeus gives his wife and she shot her a glare
"Pleased to meet you King Thaddeus" she said quickly melting into a sweet smile
"Queen Erila" she said like she was spitting poison
"my name is Princess Kaho, future queen of the kingdom of Purita"
she said bowing
~*~
Kaho was now in her room. The rulers of Normandy were kind. But she didn't like the queen. Not that she wasn't likeable, but, the fact that she likes the king. From the first time she saw him…it was love…love at first site. That's why through the whole dinner she only looked at him, agreed to everything he said and never EVER left her eyes off him.
~*~
in the king and queens chamber same time
The queen was brushing her long black hair in front of her vanity, when the king hugged her by the waist and left a trail of butterfly kisses on her neck to her back. And she immediately stopped. She moaned in pleasure and said
"dear…have you noticed…" said Erila quietly
"noticed what?" said Thaddeus, his curiosity was catching up to him, and he stopped what he was doing and just held her wife by her shoulders leaning his head onto her shoulder while he was at her back.
"that girl, Princess Kaho, she is somewhat drawn to you…" Erila said calmly turning to Thaddeus
"preposterous…it must just be admiration of how great I have lead our kingdom" said Thaddeus proudly as he let go of his wife and stood up
"I don't know dear…I think the princess likes you likes you… somewhat like a crush"
"do I sense a hint of JEALOUSY in the air???" said Thaddeus teasingly as he chuckled
"oh PLEASE…not that! Its just that…the way she looks at me…the way she looks at… you" said the queen sadly
"dear…you know you're the only one for me…and I love you dearly…so come on…no more jealousy" said the king capturing her lips into his and they kissed passionately. When they finally stopped the king said "I mean come on…I understand women would like me LIKE me…you know why…because of THIS" he said indicating his face. The queen just sweat dropped.
"you know no ONE can resist this handsome, dashing, adorable, charming ME!" he said as he posed in the mirror. Then out of no where a pillow came flying towards the king.
"yes yes I KNOW that dear…that's why I fell in love with you…now will you please release your air and go to bed" said the queen a bit annoyed by the king's sudden boastfulness.
The king did what his wife told him and jumped onto bed and quickly captured her lips once again (and you do the math of what happens next! =)
~*~
The next day, Kaho awoke early and decided to explore the castle since she wont be here long and also to see King Thaddeus. She wore a light yellow dress and brought her hair into a French twist. Quickly she ran out of her room startling the old lady who was about to wake her up.
After a while Kaho found herself lost in the palace gardens due to her excitement. She was walking around the rose bushes and trees at the far end of the garden. The area was not trimmed which was obvious that no one comes here anymore. Considering that the trees camouflaged this area. She found a pond full of gunk, algae, weeds, and water pods and lilies. There was a statue of two people in the center and was covered with vines. But what caught her attention was the man in the far end gazing at the statues covered with vines.
She look harder at the man and realized it was King Thaddeus. At the thought of being alone with King Thaddeus here made her flush. She was about to go further unnoticed but she stepped on a twig, causing the king to notice her presence.
"you may come out now" said the king calmly not even looking at her
quietly and slowly she revealed her presence and bowed her head. Her blushing still remained and said "I-Im sorry for the intrusion sire…"
"do you see those two statues over there" the king said pointing at the ones in the center.
"yes" said Kaho now looking at the statues, but remained blushing.
"Those two were my parents. When they died they were turned to crystal…"
Thaddeus said sadly.
"Im sorry" Kaho said as she revert her face to Thaddeus
"well…I must be off…I shall see you tonight my lady for the treaty…" and he kissed her hand and left.
"yes my king…I shall see you tonight and win your heart" Kaho said as she looked at her hand
~*~
That night. The king, the queen, much to Kaho's dismay was in the conference room. Signing the treaty. After they had signed the treaty, the queen looked pale so the king suggested for her to retire to bed. With a kiss she left. Leaving Kaho and Thaddeus alone.
Kaho was jealous at the attention Queen Erila got from the King yet again. So she decided to make her move.
"Sire now that we are allies, would you like to step outside for air" Kaho said sweetly
~*~
with the queen
Queen Erila wasn't feeling too well and was unusually pale, she was also vomiting what she ate and her hand maid became worried. So her hand maid, Lira decided to call the healer.
When the healer arrived, he quickly examined the queen.
~*~
back with Kaho and Thaddeus
They were just standing there looking at the stars and moon. They were quiet and Kaho decided to tell him how she felt. "I need advice"
"what advise would you need?" said Thaddeus curiously
"I love this person you see…but Im afraid, he loves another" said Kaho sadly
"but do you love this person dearly?"
"of course I do"
"then tell this person how you feel…who is this person that you love…I believe he is a lucky man and Im sure whoever he is will love you to" he said smiling
~*~
after the healer was done he made a conclusion
"majesty…congratulations" said the healer with a smile and he continued "you know have a future heir to the throne"
this made the queen smile, and she said "thank you…please both of you…I swear you to secrecy as to what you both have found out"
this caused Lira to wonder "why your majesty…do you not wish to have a child?"
"no no Lira…you misunderstand…I wish to tell his majesty my self" said the queen smiling mischievously (just like Eriol)
~*~
Kaho faced him and leaned closer and kissed him on the lips…but he did not respond to the kiss, instead he pushed her. Causing her to fall back.
"This isn't right"
"but you said you'd accept me" said Kaho in disbelif
"I said whoever that man is…not me" Thaddeus's voice was now hinting anger
"but-but-" said Kaho who was on the verge of crying. But was cut off
"Look…Im sorry, but I already love someone else…and that's Elira…you'll find some one else, don't worry your still young"
"but…the one I Love is you…there will be no one else" then she ran towards her room, crying
~*~
in Kaho's room
she ran inside her room and collapsed onto bed, crying her way to sleep
~*~
the next day
Kaho awoke early, her eye's red and puffy from all the crying she did. She wore a black dress and went straight to the room of King and Queen Hiiragizawa
She knocked twice and heard a groggy enter from the other side
She saw the queen had stood up from bed and the king sitting up on bed. Shocked that he saw Kaho.
"my dear princess, is the matter you are to discuss to us so important that you must wake this early?" said Erila groggily
"indeed my queen, I would just like to say thank you for the hospitality you have given me…I am to leave now" said Kaho in monotone
"but its still too early…wont you at least stay for breakfast?" said Erila in concern
"no thank you…I have immediate matters to attend to in Purita…goodbye King and Queen Hiiragizawa"
then she left
~*~
when Kaho arrived at Purita. She quickly went to the library. Looked for the area of the dark arts and read it. And thought
'I will get revenge from that king who broke my heart' said Kaho as she began studying the dark arts.
~*~
18 years later
Kaho had successfully mastered the dark arts now and she was the most powerful witch in the whole Purita, but after she had arrived from Normandy, she restored the original name of Purita, which is Devintaea. It was the original name of the kingdom. It was changed during the rule of her father, King Sinseleo. Out of all the rulers. He was the most kindest, gentle, loving, and good leader of all. The rest of the other rulers that ruled Devintaea were evil.
Kaho even restored the original look of Devintaea before her father stepped in and changed everything. But now it was back to being the most barren, evil, unclean land full of evil people and sorcerers, thieves, conmen, liars, and of course greedy rich people. Slavery and injustice was the biggest issue in the kingdom. But no one cared.
But now as Kaho became a full pledge powerful witch, she can now do the spell she had been wanting to do since she came back from Normandy. She entered a room with no sunlight. Dark and damp, full of cobwebs and spiders, the room was very dirty and full of old books, scriptures, scrolls, and tablets. That dated back since the first dark spell was cast. And now she was about to perform the most evil revenge spell yet.
She went to the center of the room where a giant mirror was attached to the floor. She raised her hand and grabbed a bottle. And chanted
"Eros meros leros deberos…Eros meros leros deberos…Eros meros leros deberos" then she poured the contents of the bottle to the mirror. And the mirror instead of glass became liquid. Smoke came out of the mirror but Kaho could only care less. Then she brought her hands to the center and chanted once more
"hear my plea…dark spirits who aide me…do my bidding" then instead of white smoke that came out of the mirror which was now black water. The smoke became black and remained circling Kaho.
"Kill the one who's image comes out of the water" then the image of Queen Erila came into view. Who apparently was sowing.
"DO MY BIDDING!" then the smoke disappeared and a bright light erupted.
After the ceremony Kaho just smirked and said "I now have my revenge…BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
~*~
one month later
Queen Erila lays in the bed not breathing. She was still, lifeless. And everyone in the kingdom was mourning over her death. Even after all these years she still looked beautiful. Her long black hair still shiny and her lips white because of her lifeless state, she was moved to a crystal coffin. Filled with her favorite flowers, Lilies. Her silver crown was placed on her head and their wedding ring on her finger. She wore a midnight blue and white dress and her head cushioned with a pillow. The funeral would be in a week that's why all the royalty, nobles, and friends of the king and queen came, even the prince's friends came to mourn over the death of the queen.
Among those who came was Kaho. She arrived in a dark red carriage and she wore a dark red dress. She faked her concern about the death of the queen. But deep in her thoughts she was laughing out loud at the body of the diseased queen. She saw the king and gave a fake sad face. But she was smirking. She was so happy at what she saw…how pitiful the king looked. And now he knew how she felt that night.
She was drinking red wine smirking and laughing at how pitiful all these people looked. All they knew was that the queen died of a strange disease. But what they didn't know it was because of magic, Her magic, and the magic of the dark arts. She was looking around the crowd. All she saw were old people, mostly her age. But something caught her eye.
A boy with blue hair and glasses, accompanied by a boy with brown hair and amber eyes caught her attention. Other than the fact that they were the only teenagers in the whole crowd, she felt…warm, she felt in love again. Just like she did 18 years ago. Then she slowly approached them and froze when she saw the crest of Normandy on his armor. Then she thought
'no doubt this is the prince of Normandy' then she continued
she accidentally bumped into them. "Oh dear Im sorry" she said faking the voice. "no its alright" Eriol said coldly. He was going to walk away with Syaoran but "may I know the name of the person I bumped into" she said with a sweet smile. Eriol was annoyed by this but he finally gave in "Prince Eriol Hiiragizawa of Normandy…this is Captain Li Syaoran son of the general Li" Syaoran just nodded and they left. Kaho was annoyed no one dared ignore her. But she thought 'he may ignore me now…but I WILL get him'
The days past by and Kaho tried to be sweet with Eriol by being caring but of course because of his mother's death Eriol just ignored it. Finally it was the day of the funeral. Eriol and Thaddeus were near the coffin having passive faces. Their faces were as cold as ice. Eriol took a step back and pulled out his hand and chanted 'O key that holds the power of darkness reveal thy true form, I Eriol under our contract commands you release" then a huge staff appeared and then he chanted once more "defy thy time, defy thy season, freeze thy angel before me and let her remain through time" then he pointed his staff through the crystal coffin and the dead body of queen Erila was surrounded by a red aura and soon it died down.
Then King Thaddeus gave a nod and the coffin was slowly buried beneath the soil. She was buried in the north side of the garden where the lilies grow. It was the queen's favorite place.
Kaho was surprised to see that the prince knew magic for she had not sensed anything. But because of this she was more determined to have him.
~*~
Later that day Kaho tried to make her moves on Eriol. But of course Eriol, having lost his mother became cold and just shrugged it off.
During dinner time Kaho announced that she would be staying at the castle longer as the other guests would leave the next day. Of course the king didn't care like Eriol and just shrugged it off.
As the days went by, Syaoran eventually moved in the castle with his family due to the king's request and Kaho always tried to act sweet and kind towards Eriol and he would always say whatever or hn or shrug it off OR walk away with Syaoran doing the same.
Until one day Kaho was so fed up she confronted Eriol and said
"WHY ARE YOU SO COLD!!!"
of course Eriol was clueless at what she was talking about
"highness…whatever do you mean??"
"YOU…HOW DARE YOU!…I try to be NICE…you shrug it off…I try t PLEASE you…you say hn…I try to HELP you…you walk away…and now I try to tell you my feelings you say 'highness…whatever do you mean' HOW DARE YOU!!!"
this left Eriol in puzzlement and he could only stare as Kaho continued with her ramblings
"look…ever since I saw you…it was love at first sight…but YOU being King Thaddeus Hiiragizawa's son ignore it…or say you love someone else…just like you father…but no more…you Hiiragizawa's are the same…Im so fed up with YOU!-"
before she could even finish with her speech Eriol said bluntly
"I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience that I have cost you….but I was not aware of your intentions…but now that you have proposed your intentions…Im afraid I have to decline"
"wha-what are you talking about…this is a joke…right"
"Im afraid I am not your highness…good day"
then he turned and left Kaho there just standing with tears falling from her eyes. And she thought
'how could he be so cold hearted…how could he do this to me…just like his father…but colder…Ill get my revenge…on both of them…how dare he do this to me…It doesn't matter…ill get my revenge sooner or later…Ill never make both of them have happiness'
then she stormed off to the throne room where King Thaddeus was.
She used her magic to destroy the two big doors she once entered as a girl. As the smoke cleared she saw the king with shock written all over then he demanded
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!" standing form his throne disregarding the guards that shielded him
"the alliance is off…from now on the kingdom of Devintaea is the sworn enemy of Normandy"
then with a swirl of black smoke she was gone…
=FLASHBACK ENDS=
Kaho smirked at the LONG memory of her youth. Then she summoned Marcus and said
"have you told the generals of the plans"
Marcus shakily said
"yes your highness…but general Helene would like to speak with you"
"fine send her in"
Marcus bowed and hurriedly scurried off. A few moments later a figure dressed in neon orange approached Kaho who was looking at the window not even looking at the stranger that came.
The stranger had dark black hair that was very dirty and messed up, she had ugly yellow skin that were wrinkled and saggy although she was fat. She had blood shot eyes that looked like they can pop any moment.
"highness" said the stranger kneeling to Kaho
"what is it that you wish to talk about?" said Kaho still looking at the window
"what is the purpose of this war?"
this question caught Kaho's attention and she looked at her with her eyebrows twitching
"if you must know…its very personal and I do not wish to share the information"
"understood"
"is that all general"
"no highness…if you will allow me to ask…will you be joining the battlefield"
"yes…but in due time"
"that is all I wish to as you highness"
"very well…dismissed…oh and Helene"
"yes highness" as she bowed once again
"do everything necessary to win this war…I want a bloody war this time…take no prisoners"
"understood highness"
and she left. And Kaho returned to her window
"soon…soon revenge will be mine…and so will the world…Mbwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
