Save My Broken World
*"Why did you have the documents?" The King demanded.
"You think I'd know wouldn't you?" He was being smug.
"Karmain, this is serious. Treasonous documents were found in your possession. Do you
think that just because you have the highest position in the Assembly you'd be able to get away
scot free with this?"
Karmain made no comment.
"Now, all we know is what Usagi told us. So refusing to speak would just harm yourself
because then we would follow her words as truth. Will you speak?" The king was hoping that
would make him.
"I was framed," he announced.
"Framed?" Usagi said in disbelief. "Then why the hell didn't you just say so in the first
place?"
"Because...." His voice trailed off. He paused."I was framed, just as you were. It was by an
old nemesis of mine in Scanra. The story that made us go against each other is to long to tell and
irrelevant to my point, but I will tell you this, he wanted to get rid of me once and for all. He
decided that the way to do that would be to plant false and forged documents on me that would
make me look like I've done the unthinkable to my country so I would be executed. The country
I love. I would never harm any citizen of our wonderful nation, let alone the ones that lead us
and take care of us, the King and Queen." His faced was plastered with fake emotions: sadness,
love, innocence, pain.
But the King was blind to it. His outlook had just taken a 180. Karmain's facade made him
suddenly see a man treated unjustly that only wanted what was best for everyone, especially the
monarch. It was hard for the king to grasp the concept that someone he put into position could
be a bad person. Because Heero and Usagi were the ones that told him about Karmain, he
thought it to be truthful and so went against Karmain. But the sad story and the 'woe is me' look
Karmain wore, made the king go back the his regular reasoning. Usagi and Heero were no
exceptions. The people that worked for him were good, and that was that. "That's really to bad
Karmain. I hope that awful man wouldn't disturb you again. I don't want there to be anymore
trouble. Please, forget this ever happened."
"You're letting him go, just like that?" Usagi was shocked beyond belief. Why was the king
just letting him go? He had needed substantial evidence to let her, his 'daughter', go free. So why
was Karmain freed that easily? She was confused. The king had always been fair before.
"Highness," Heero stepped into the conversation. He was just as confused as Usagi. "Why is
it that Usagi needed proof to free herself, and Karmain needed only speak a few words that
could easily be a falsehood?"
The king looked at Heero. "I've known Karmain since he became part of the assembly. He
never once lied."
'That you knew of,' Usagi thought with disgust.
"He never did anything bad," the king continued with his praise. "I know I can trust him on
this. After all," he now turned to Usagi, "You of all people should know what it is like to be
framed."
"But-" Heero and Usagi said in unision. Both were cut off.
"Don't go against my voice. Just have faith that he is innocent. Now I don't want to hear
another word about any of this. You're dismissed, all of you. Members of the Assembly, you
need not document this, though you may if you wish. Karmain, Usagi, both of your names are
now clear. You've nothing to fret over. Heero, have a good rest of the day and please tell your
parents I would like to speak with them. It's nothing about you or anything that went on here, just
some things I wasn't able to discuss with them when they were here earlier. Oh, and Usagi, you
can live in your old room in the servants quarters again if you like. Furniture and the like are
there already, the Queen decorated it after you left. You know how she loves to decorate. But
anyway, thank you all and good day." And with that he just up and walked out of the room, glad
that the situation was resolved.

"I can't even begin to tell you how angry and confused I am! How could the King just let
Karmain go like that. It's like he changed or something." Usagi was fuming as she walked next to
Heero. He was walking her back to her room, his hand wrapped firmly around hers.
"I think I might know why." Heero stated.
"Go on." Usagi looked at Heero.
"Well, the King thinks that anyone he hires for a job has got to be a good person. Sort of an
idea he makes himself believe so that he won't feel guilty if anyone turned out to be a corrupt
person, like Karmain."
"That makes sense. So that's why Karmain got away scot free. Ooh that pisses me off!
Oooh!" she growled with a shiver of anger and crossed her arms. "And you know he made up
that whole 'Woe is me. I'm so innocent story.'"
"Keratar." Heero spoke.
"Hunh?" She looked up at him, confusion plain as day painted all over her face.
"Keratar. That's the only way to prove Mamoru a criminal. That's the only way the king
would ever believe our claims," he said simply.
Usagi grabbed his arms and hugged him saying, "I knew there was a reason I always liked
you!"
"Hardy-har-har," he grinned at her. "Now you get some rest, we've got work to be done
tomorrow."
She unlocked her door using her hidden key, which was still where it had been behind the
hallway lantern. She opened the door but did not step inside. She only turned around standing in
the doorway facing the teenage boy she'd known for so long.
"What?" Heero said.
Her head was slightly tilted to the side and her face held a completely serene expression.
Heero knew that whatever she was about to say she didn't know she was going to say aloud. She
looked like she was in a magical trance. "You know, you look really gorgeous in candlelight, the
way it plays with your eyes and makes your hair looks as if a subtle breeze is passing through it."
"I'm not the only one," he returned darkly with that smirk of his, which only became more
dazzling with the fire light dancing across his face.
"Hunh? Oh..." Scarlet crossed the beauty's face. "Sorry. I didn't mean to sat that out loud."
She looked sheepishly at the ground. And just then the voice that broke her out of her trance
re-ran through her brain, but this time she caught the words and with it the meaning. The blush
that was hers was DEEP scarlet.
"Good night, my princess," Heero bade lovingly and crossed the small space between them
and gently kissed her forehead.
She looked up into his eyes and let all the love she had for him shine through her eyes and
her smile. Her whole soul bore her love to him. "And too you, my prince."
