Reflections of the Deceases

Chapter 2-The New Servant.

Heero had to wear close he wasn't use to wearing, fancy clothes only rich people wore. They were many servants, but he didn't like the thought of them having to serve him. After all, he would most likely have been in there place if it wasn't for Lady Diana.

One servant always talked to him, when nobody was around to punish him that is, (Servant couldn't talk to there masters unless there being addressed or if the masters don't really care.) he was annoying, but Heero didn't say anything. His name was Duo Maxwell, in Duo's eyes rules were only put in place to break them. He was called by many the 'great destroyer.' Because once somebody got on his nerves, he would more or less, destroyed who ever, but out of respect for his fiancé, Hilde, he didn't attack anyone he served.

"So do you know what happened to Relena?" He asked

He looked at him, "What makes you ask that question?"

Duo thought for a moment, " Well, word goes around fast, they say you were one of those bandits who killed the Princess."

Heero glared at him, "I.. did not do anything of the sort."

"Well your lucky, I thought I would have to punish you. because Relena was one of those people who didn't care about your title. And I'm sorry, but I don't like the thought of one of my friends be tortured and killed like that." His trademark grin spread across his face, " So I suggest you beware of the Great Destroyer, and not do anything suspicions."

Heero didn't take much into Duo's threat, because he knew he didn't kill her. All he did was fiddle with a neckless he found walking the streets. Duo kept threatening him, to see if he could show any sign of being scared, but he didn't.

Relena was in a room, she didn't recognize. The walls were green, and there were many different chairs and books in it. Then that eerie voice came back. "Hello, this is my home."

She turned around, and saw a young girl with Black hair and wearing a simple dress, look at her. "Hello, my names Merain Chang."

Relena looked shocked but, bowed, "My name is..." She remembered her vow, and thought for several seconds, " My name is Lena, Lena.. Merquise."

"No need to lie, I saw everything, Relena." The girl smiled and Relena was confused, She wasn't there, nobody was. Relena looked at her. Then a question blurted out. "What are you?"

"I don't know, My husband would probably know though."

"You have a husband, where is he?"

Merain crossed he arms and shrugged. " He.. started a fight and left again, he'll be back in a couple of centuries though."

"Why did you get into a fight?" Relena asked in a most curious tone.

Merain shrugged again. "The stupid Idiot wouldn't stop calling me woman, he probably doesn't even remember my name!" Relena started giggling. "It's not funny! It's true!"

Then they heard a noise, "Ops, You better go back, there looking for you!"

Relena looked confused, but remembered about her deal she made with her sister. "Hey, when you get back put the neckless on. So then I could go with you!" Merain smiled and waved her hand. The light that surrounded her in the forest, surrounded her again. In a matter of seconds she was back, she put the neckless on, and right at that moment her sister came into view.

She looked at Relena in disgusted, " Follow me!" She demanded. Relena obeyed, she went on a horse, and was taken to the palace accompanied by her sister.

Guards came rushing in, "Milady, who is this?" The guards obviously didn't recognized her, with her hair and clothes being so messy. "She is going to be the new servant." She went got the horse and walked to the entrance of the palace, with Relena following her. "We'll speak to the king about our new servant, come Rel... What was your name again?" She said staring into Relena's eyes.

"Lena, Lena Merquise." she stated. Her sister looked into her eyes with hatred. But put on a fake smile, that in the past Relena blindly took as genuine. "Oh yes, that was it."

Soon they both were in the company of the king. The king glared at the two as Diana told the king about her, "Very well, Lena Merquise, you will take a bath and put on some decent attire. You will be... Lord Heero's servant."

Diana blinked with surprise, "Lord Heero?" The king smiled, "Yes, I've decided to give him that title, he seems to be getting along here. So I think he'll just stay. Oh yes, Diana, would you mind showing Lena where she needs to go?"

"Yes." She said through gritted teeth. "Let's go Lena." Once they were out of earshot Diana stopped and threw a bottle to her, " Put that on, It'll change your hair to brown, so no one will recognize you. I'm sure you know where the servants baths are. And Heero is staying in Milardo's room." Relena bowed her head, she didn't want to come to grips with the past, but the thought of seeing someone staying in his room again, brought back old memories.

Milardo was her and Diana's older brother, they were always laughing, but one day he just disappeared, no one knew where he went, he never came back. After a year they assumed he was dead. It has been approximately three years since he disappeared.

~*~*~*

Heero was looking at the pictures that hung in his room while Duo came in. "Hey Heero, I mean... Lord Heero." Heero looked at him. "What did you say?"

"The king decided to give you the title! You're now Lord Heero." Duo started to laugh. "Oh yeah and you've got your own servant!"

Heero glared at him and was about to say something when they heard someone knocking on his door.

Duo answered it. "You must be the new servant!" He let her in. She bowed when she saw Heero, "What do you want me to do sir?" Heero looked at her and glared back at the picture, "There's nothing to do." Duo smiled " You could just stay here and hang out, that's actually all we really do. And you could speak freely, Heero doesn't care about your title just like Relena didn't , it's a shame what happened to her tough. "

"What happened to her?" She asked, wanting to know the lie her sister made up about her. "You mean you don't know?" Relena shook her head, Duo looked at her in surprise. "She and Diana was attacked. Diana escaped, but Relena was tortured and killed brutally by bandits!" Relena tried no to smile at the story she heard. So she looked over to see Heero, who was still gazing at the picture.

"Do you like that picture?"

Heero nodded, "Yes."

Relena got up and walked over to it. "This was when all three of them were still alive. Relena, Diana and Milardo. The painters use to paint them laughing and playing around. It was a happy time for the kingdom, hardly any problems. They named this painting 'The Three Roses'"

Duo got up in surprise. "How do you know, not many people knew that?" Relena was giving herself away. " I.. I heard it from Lady Diana. She told me about it." Duo sat back down, there's something suspicious about Lena and I'm going to find out! Relena let out a sigh of relief.

~*~*~*

Meanwhile Merain was watching everything, This is going to be very interesting! She knew Duo suspected her already. In his mind though, she was most likely to be the one who killed the Princess, not the princess herself.
