Chapter 19: An Heirloom, The "Mean Men", A New Friend, and A Little Blushing

"..." Means someone's talking

'...' Means someone's thinking

AN: Author's Notes

"It...It's gorgeous." Relena says, as she takes out the necklace in the box; it's a long gold necklace with a heart shaped diamond and crown in the middle of it.

"It was the late queen's. It's passed down from queen to queen."

"But I'm not the queen yet. Noin said I had to choose my king didn't she?"

"Yes of course, but this is different. Whenever each princess was to make her first speech to the people, she would wear this heirloom. Now it's your turn. Want me to help you put it on?" Heero asks when he sees her struggle with it.

"No, I've got it." She states confidently, but he sees her continued struggle, and finally shakes his head and goes to help her. However, as soon as his hand touches her, she gasps and jumps, but he holds her by the shoulders.

"Hold on." He helps her put it on, dropping his hand to his sides afterwards.

"Thank you very..." She stops, as she turns around, looking up deeply into his eyes. "Oh....Um..."

In a Dark and Quiet Room...

"Augh, what happened?" Hilde slowly wakes up, as she feels her head throbbing slightly. She takes in her surroundings, but not very well since she can't see much in the dark. After a few seconds of wasted effort, she gets fed up. "I hate this!" Suddenly she feels something inside her stir and the room changes, and she can see everything, as if the room just lit up, even though it hasn't. "Okay, this is somewhat weird. I know people's eyes get adjusted to the dark after a while, but how did I do that so soon?" She hears the door open up, and turns to face it, only to find a man holding a candleholder, a candle brightly lit on it, with a wicked smile on his face.

"Ah, so the Lady finally awakes."

"Who are you? What do you want with me?"

"All in due time my Lady..." He starts as he comes over to her and caresses her cheek. "...All in due time." She narrows her eyes at him and tries to bite his hand, but he pulls it back just in time. "Oh, you're feisty. I like that." He can hear her growl softly and smiles even wider. "Yes, you were an excellent choice. I just hope your boyfriend is dead by now."

"Duo?"

"Is that his name? Oh well, my men are taking care of him. Soon his name won't matter."

"No! You let me go this minute!" She yells, struggling against the cuffs that bind her.

"Now, now my Lady, I wouldn't want you to bruise those beautiful wrists of yours."

"No! Duo!"

Meanwhile...

"Let me go." Duo shakes off the guy that grabbed him but the guy reaches for him again. "I warned you." Duo ducks out of the guy's reach and then comes back, punching him hard in the stomach. "Well that was easy." Suddenly Duo finds himself surrounded by about 10 guys, all with weapons. "Ooh, so it's a brawl you want? Okay, I can do that." 'Although Miss Noin would kill me if she saw me now. Oh well.' Duo thinks before he gets into the fight.

A few minutes later...

"There, all--" Duo stops, as he feels a large blow to the head and collapses to the ground, passed out, a man standing behind him with a triumphant smile.

'I can't wait until the boss sees him. He looks good enough to eat.' (AN: He he, ooh...)

Back to Angel and Trowa...

"Sir Trowa, why is that animal staring at me?" The lion approaches her more and she steps back, but not scared. (AN: More or less she's being cautious)

"Oh, it seems your Royal Guardian has arrived."

"My what?"

"Your RG, Royal Guardian."

"But I--"

"I bid you no harm Angel." Angel jumps back slightly in surprise.

"Did he...I wasn't imagining things was I?"

"No Lady Angel, the lion talked."

"But how...."

"He's a RG. Go ahead, near him." Angel turns towards the lion again, and begins to near him.

Meanwhile...

"Oh, I, um...Sorry." Adriana pulls back and backs up a little.

"No, no trouble at all. I was just helping you restore your balance Lady Adriana."

"Well I'm quite alright now so I..."

"What?"

"I don't know."

"What?"

"I don't know what to say now. I feel awkward."

"Did I do that to you?"

"Oh no, of course not. I...Sorry, I better go." She starts walking off, but then he grabs her arm. "Huh?"

"Wait, don't go yet."

"Why not?"

"I..."

"You...?"

"I just..."

"What? What is it Sir Quatre?"

"I..." He pulls her close and her eyes go wide as she turns slightly red.
