Chapter 5: The Truth
Healer yawned as she walked to the throne room that morning. She had to attend Princess Kakyuu during court but she really wasn't in the mood to listen to mindless nobles drone on and on about nothing. There was always some dull prince from some other kingdom to be introduced or some doddering noble who resembled a stuffed turkey.
But she put on her usual blank face, showing no emotion. Princess Kakyuu was smiling as usual, the prefect lady.
She hid a yawn as a prince from the kingdom of Amyrlin, a solar system on the other side of the galaxy, near Earth, was announced. Kakyuu looked politely interested as always.
Healer's eyes widened when saw Rael walk in with his guards. He swept a low bow before Kakyuu but his eyes were on Healer.
Her breath caught in her throat. Rael was actually Prince Rael….but why had he been in the city before?
Of course, that must have been why he had helped her. That way, he would have an ally in one of Kakyuu's senshi. Her fist clenched. She would not be used.
He wasn't looking at her now as he recited the formulaic greeting, bowed and walked out.
After court was over for the day Healer stormed back to her rooms. She passed Seiya but for once Seiya stayed out of her way. Healer felt like hitting someone and hitting them hard. Rael was her first choice but she could settle for Seiya.
Once in her rooms she dropped her transformation and sat on her window seat. He had only helped her because she was a sailor senshi. He had used her.
If he thought she was going to do anything for him, he was wrong. She would teach him a little lesson about messing with Sailor Star Healer.
