The leader walked up to Robin, she tried struggling, but it was no use. He had an evil look in his eyes. Several men had swords at Amon's throat and Amon could do nothing.
"You are very pretty, little Robin." he said he was at eye level with her.
"How do you know me?" she asked calmly.
"Because, we've met little birdy. By the way is that perfume you're wearing? It smells like ode de whore. Hehehe." The man laughed, Amon struggled.
'I'm gonna kill that bastard.' He thought.
"You bastard, you'll go to hell for this." She said. Robin felt a link in her senses spike, her blood was near. Amon's senses told him about ten people were coming; he could tell they were not their allies. As if on cue, more men came and surrounded Amon and Robin.
"Why do you say that little birdy, fore I see no way out of this for you, both of you." The man said, gesturing the newest members of the party.
"You know prince I see why you didn't tell this little bird you would never be able to marry her. She's so sweet, how she taste?" he looked over to Amon, and Amon tried to get out of the hold, but the man with the dagger brought it closer to Robin's exposed throat.
"No matter, I'll find out my self too." He said.
"You're a bastard and scum, you'll be going to hell, but be glad Hell is coming and its bringing friends." Robin said. The man slapped her across the face, a little blood trailing down the side of her lip. Amon was going to kill this man personally.
"Little bitch, you'll not live much if you keep this up." he said, and then his voice became low and husky.
"Let's see what you are hiding under that dress of yours." The man took a knife out and was about to split her top open when two arrows went threw the two men's hearts. Raven and Micheal were on top of the hill and had looked down at the scene below when they heard a girl scream. Raven almost used her power, but stopped when she saw her sister's power reflected. The two went to their horses and retrieved their bows and arrows. They aimed them, but hesitated when they saw Robin was on her knees. Amon stopped and didn't move.
"Micheal, that's my sister down there, if we screw up..." she began.
"Don't worry Raven; we are some of the best shots in the kingdom." He said. They let their arrows loose just as the man was about to cut open Robin's dress and they hit both men holding Robin. Robin turned around and saw two archers.
"What the hell?!" the leader asked and before he realized it Amon punched him in the face. Robin used her daggers and stabbed the man next to her in the leg. Raven and Micheal got back on their horses and rode to the two. In a matter of minutes Raven and Micheal arrived at the clearing and Raven threw her sister a bow and some arrows. The men shot arrows at the women but Micheal used his power over the wind and they were slowed. The two sisters then shot arrows themselves into the men coming after them, and Micheal started to defend himself against three attackers. Amon killed two more guys and then he had the leader by the throat.
"Tell you men to back down and drop their weapons or else you'll not be breathing." Amon said coldly to the man at his mercy.
"B-back down!" the man spat out. His men that were alive dropped their weapons and kneeled before Amon. Robin and Raven dropped their weapons and hugged each other. They began speaking in Italian while Amon and Micheal took care of the men. Five minutes later, Syunji and the party arrived and the men that were alive where put in chains. Sister Mary jumped off the horse and hugged the two girls, nearly chocking them. Syunji went up to his brother and they shook hands.
"Have fun?" he asked.
"Brother, I hear you had a son." Amon said, his voice it's normal monotone.
"Yes, you can't believe how handsome he is. Come, we should all get going." Syunji said. Sister Mary was still holding them when he said that, but when she did pulled back she smiled at them.
"My two trouble makers are back together. Only if your mother, god rest her soul, could see her daughters so happy. Awe, come 'ere my little devils." She said and gave them another bear hug.
"Sister Mary, you're going to kill them if you don't let up." Syunji said with laughter in his voice.
"Thanks Syunji." Raven murmured. Then she got formal and introduced her sister properly.
"Your highness, my sister Robin Sena-Hellsong, Sister First Prince Syunji Nagira." Raven said, and then she saw the look her sisters' eyes held for just a second.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, your highness." Robin said, trying not to sound like she was close to crying.
"The pleasure is all mine, any blood relative of Lady Raven is going to be fun." Syunji said giving the girl a hug. Raven introduced Robin to everyone.
"Now, the person who I believe you already met my fiancé Micheal." Raven said, 'she's so happy' Robin thought. She smiled at him and he gave her a brotherly hug.
"It is good to see you again, Lady Robin." Micheal said. Raven went up to Amon and gave him a hug.
"Thank you so much for bringing my sister back to me." She whispered in his ear.
"It was no trouble Raven." He said releasing her. The group began to leave, Robin stayed far away from Amon as possible. He did not make a move to go to her either; Raven noticed this and moved to her sister's side.
"Robin, what is wrong?" Raven asked as she put a hand on her sister's shoulder.
"I shall tell you when it is just us." Robin said solemnly.
By nightfall the group was back at the palace, there was a feast to celebrate the return of Amon and the welcoming of Robin. Robin and Raven were up in Robin's room. Robin would be staying in the spare bedroom of Raven's area. They were unpacking Robin's things and talking about light stuff. Then Raven pulled out the rose maiden dress.
"Oh, sister it is even more beautiful than you said it was. You should wear this to the feast." Raven said holding it up to Robin.
"No, no sister. I shall wear a normal dress." Robin said, she was on the verge of tears. Raven saw this, she put the dress down and hugged her sister. Robin began to cry as soon as her sister's arms were around her.
"It's alright, just cry it all out my sister." Raven said stroking her sister's loose hair. After a while, Robin stopped crying. Her face was red and Raven used her power to cool it back down.
"Now sister, tell me what is wrong." Raven said as they sat down on the bed.
"It's...Amon. I didn't know he was a prince and I let myself fall in ...love with him." Robin began.
"I thought, maybe when it was Name Sake, I could marry him and we could be happy. But I found out that he could never marry me and I'm stupid and now a whore." Robin said.
"You're not stupid and you are not a whore. If I know anything, you are anything but those two. Now come with me and I'll find you something to wear." Raven said, trying to make her sister some what happy. They looked threw Raven's closet and found a dark red dress with gold embroidery on it that would fit her and Raven brushed her hair out. Raven put on a dark red dress with silver embroidery on it and Robin brushed her hair out as well. both girls had on their pendants. Robin had her red pendant and Raven had her blue pendent. They looked at their selves in the mirror.
"You know Robin; we have finally become what we wanted." Raven said hugging her sister.
"Oh yeah and what's that?" Robin asked.
"We are free; no man can control our destiny." Raven said hugging her sister. They left the room, outside was Micheal, Lantis, Yurika, and Haruto.
"Yurika, Haruto this is my sister Robin. Robin these are two of my close friends." Raven said as she introduced them.
"It is really nice to finally meet you. I hope we can become good friends too." Yurika said with a smile and hugged Robin.
"It's nice to meet you, don't worry about Amon, he is always cold." Haruto said. The six paired off and went to the feast. The music began and many people began to dance, Raven and Micheal were two of them. Robin watched as her sister danced happily with her soon to be husband. After a little bit, Syunji disappeared and the king had Raven come to his side.
"My dear Lady, please, would you go fetch my sons and tell them it is time to announce it." he said.
"Announce what milord?" Raven asked, bowing.
"Oh, did you not know, Amon will marry Lord Zaizen's daughter, Touko." He said happily. Raven put on a fake smile and said, threw somewhat clenched teeth.
"Why that is great news, milord I shall go fetch them." Raven walked away, but a soon as she was out of the great hall she ran as if the Devil himself was at her feet. Robin was sitting, waiting for her sister to come back when a woman in a lilac dress sat next to her.
"Hello, my name is Lady Touko. I was hoping I may speak with thee for a moment." She said in a soft and kind voice. Robin was a little startled but smiled.
"Of course, my name is Lady Robin; it is a pleasure to meet you." Robin said kindly, not knowing this woman wanted her dead.
"I know you are not a lady nor is your sister, I'm surprise you can't remember me. I was the prettiest girl at the convent for two years." Touko said, the kindness gone from her voice, Robin instantly recognized this woman. Touko had tried to kill her and her sister at the Convent when she was training there for two years.
"Now I remember, you stay away from –"
"Amon? Or your sister?" she asked in spite. At the mention of Amon's name, Touko saw hurt, pain, sadness and anger in Robins' eyes for a moment.
"I have no attachments to the Prince, however you go near my sister and you'll regret it." she said.
"I shall stay away from you and your sister, as long as YOU stay away from Amon." Touko said and left Robin.
'Bitch.' Robin thought
The old Chapel.
Amon sat in his chair, looking blankly at the book before him. His older brother came into the room, Amon not even noticing. Syunji looked his brother over; he looked like a gentleman in his black silk and velvet clothing. His hair was down and nicely combed out.
"Is this what you plan to do with the rest of you life?" he asked. Amon looked up, a little startled and pisst off at himself for not detecting his brother come in.
"What do you want?" he asked coldly.
"Well you are expected to be at this feast, it is for your return. But more importantly I want to know how your trip with Robin was?" Syunji said, sitting next to his brother.
"I wish not to talk about it." Amon said.
"Sigh, brother, I know something went down between you two. I'm not sure, but a friend of mine spotted you and Robin at a fair, they kept an eye on you. I just want to know if anything regrettable happen. That is if you will tell me about." Syunji said, he saw the momentary look his brother eyes' held, and then it was gone.
"Brother...I..." Amon began 'what the hell is wrong with me?! I don't need to tell him a dam thing.' Amon thought. "Brother I –"
All of a sudden they heard footsteps running. The two brothers went out to the hall to see Raven running to them. The look on her face told both men she was not in a good mood. She ran up to both brothers and before they knew it, she had punched Syunji in the face and he was on the ground.
"How could you not tell me!? I have the right to know. Especially if it is THAT woman-monster!" she yelled at Nagira.
"What and who are you talking about Raven?" Amon asked.
"You mean you haven't said anything to Him yet?" Raven asked.
"I was about to, Raven how did you find out?" Syunji asked, standing up again.
"That's not important. Your Father would like both of you in the hall." Raven said leaving both men. They sighed and followed her to the Great Hall.
When they arrived the court bowed to the Princes and they nodded in return. Raven went to her sister's side and did not look pleased. Amon and Nagira went to their father and Miho's side.
"First I would like to welcome back my second son, Amon." The King began.
"I would also like to welcome the newest member of the court, Lady Robin Sena-Hellsong." The king said, Robin curtsied to him. Robin noticed Raven was giving someone her purest evil look. Robin saw a woman a few years older than the two, with long auburn hair and a tight fitting lilac dress on.
"However, the news that makes me the happiest to present is the news of the final touches to a marriage contract for my son, Amon." The king said this and Robin felt her heart being ripped out of her chest. She clutched her sisters' hand tightly; Raven put her arm around her sister. Amon had his mask on, but inside he was on the edge, 'who will he set me up with?' Amon thought.
Touko was next to her father, she looked at Amon with passion and lust in her eyes. Raven felt like she was going to puke, Micheal was thinking whether or not he should be next to his fiancé and sister in law and Robin was wondering who would Amon have to marry, even thought it killed her thinking about it. Syunji and Miho held hands, praying they would not be going to a funeral.
"Lord Zaizen has offered a large dowry for his daughter, Lady Touko to marry my son, I have accepted and we are now in the final stages of agreements. However I see no reason why we should not announce it, fore there will be a wedding of the two." The king said merrily.
The rest of the court broke out in applause while, Robin stopped breathing for a second, Amon still had his mask on and tried to stop the urge to strangle his father. After the announcement, Touko went up to Amon and they had to dance. Robin left the feast, tears going down her face. Amon saw her as she left and wanted to go after her, but Touko was dancing with him. The feast continued until mid night, when the guests left and most retreated to their rooms.
Raven entered her and Robin's compartments and looked for her sister. She was no where to be found and she ran out of the rooms. She ran to the old chapel, inside she heard sobbing. Raven ran to the small tower and found her sister crying under a stained glass window. The moon gave her sister an unearthly glow and her tears sparkled down her face.
'God this is killing her. Please give her the strength to live threw this.' She thought as she sat next to her sister. Her sister fell into her arms and started to cry harder. Raven gently rubbed her back and said soothing words. After a few minutes, Robin told Raven everything she had not told her. Unknown to the two sister, they were being spied upon.
