Summary:
A lot of things has already happened in the story, the arrival of the mysterious student, Kai with his unknown intentions and now an invitation from a mysterious character.
Chapter 9: Threat… is there no end to this?
"Blag"
Ahiru as usual fell off the bed that causes her to wake up. Meanwhile, outside the room, Fakir sighs and told Uzura to tell Ahiru that dinner is ready.
"Itai" she cries
Uzura look at her from the door
"Doshtano? Daijoubu Ahiru oneechan?" Uzura ask; Ahiru look at her then laugh to her self.
"Hai, I just fell off the bed…" Ahiru said while rubbing the back of her head. "…again"
Uzura, seeing that she is fine nods her head and told her what she was told to say
"Ahiru, Fakir said that dinner is ready"
"Un, thanks Uzura chan" Ahiru happily reply
Uzura was about to go out of the room when Ahiru call her from behind
"Uzura chan… Arigatou!"
When Ahiru went out of the room, she was surprised to see lots of food prepared in the table.
"Why is there so much food? Are we celebrating something?" Ahiru ask a little bit confused
"Mytho and Rue are coming over and I decided to at least celebrate their return here and you turning back to a girl" Fakir said
"Oh I see, so where I they?" she ask taking her seat; Uzura is also at the table now waiting for the food to be serve and before Fakir could answer, the door bang open
"Mytho, Rue, what's wrong?" Ahiru ask after regaining her composure
"Oi Rue, even though you are the Princess of Kinkan Town now, are you also now running for the reputation of Uzura's older sister?" Fakir sarcastically ask
But Rue didn't pay attention to him and sat besides Ahiru. This made Fakir irritated and angrily walks towards the door to close them
"Gommen Fakir, but we have reasons why she did that" Mytho said calming the fuming knight
"Well it better be a good reason or else I will make you buy me a house with strong holds whenever you guys are visiting" Fakir retorted while Mytho just sweat drop
When Fakir and Mytho took their seat, Rue was about to take out something but was stop by Mytho
"Mytho?" she ask
"Fakir and Ahiru made a lovely dinner for us, let us enjoy this at least before we bring them the news" The prince said
"Okay" and Rue waited for Fakir to serve her the food
After they ate their dinner, they all gather in the living room preparing for the upcoming news
"So, what is the BIG news that Rue is so anxious to tell us?" Ahiru ask
"Actually, it's not only Rue who got something to say here, I also have discovered something with my research at the library you see." Fakir said while drinking a cup of hot chocolate Uzura served before.
"You have?" Ahiru look at the knight besides her 'should I tell them too what happened earlier?'
"Yeah, but I'll let Rue first" Then they all look at the princess who took something out of her bag
"Here" Rue handed the letter to Fakir
Fakir and Ahiru look at it
"It's an invitation from whom?" Fakir ask
"Look at the seal" Mytho recommended
Fakir, Ahiru and Uzura look at the seal and was surprised to see the raven's mark.
'I know that seal, I have seen that before, the day Princess Krahe gave the weeding invitation for her and Mytho to Fakir' Ahiru stare at it then look at Fakir
"There's more" Rue butt in, Fakir, Uzura and Ahiru look at her "you should read the message inside it"
Fakir did what Rue just said and slowly pulls out the message inside and after a few seconds, Fakir slam his fist to the table
"This-this is unbearable!" he shouted
Ahiru took the message and read it aloud
"To the Prince, Princess and the Knight of the story,
The time has come to reveal thy true form. Witness the true ending of the story that has been long forgotten or suffer the loss of the great hime"
"What does it mean?" Uzura ask breaking the silence
No one answered her
"Well we opened up the first clue, how about you Fakir?" all the character look at the knight
"Earlier at the library, I found a very interesting book I never thought existed." Fakir stood up and went to his room and took the old book he secretly took in the library
"I'm surprise they let you borrow it. It's old and almost all the papers are torn out" Ahiru commented
"They didn't, Fakir took it without a word." Rue fanning her hands to her
"It's bad to take things without permission" Uzura added
"That is correct!" Mytho smiled to the little girl
Fakir getting irritating again yells to make them shut up, and when they all did, he coughs to continue his findings
"This is book as you can see is old, and yes I took it out without permission, but did you know that I would not be able to find it without Kai's help" Fakir said placing the book of the table
"You ask Kai to help you? That's a cue" Mytho said smirking
Fakir shot him a very death glare
"He suddenly appeared in the window at the back of the library. At first I thought he is just playing me but later on, he gave me the instruction on where to find this book." Fakir continue
"And you follow his instruction? Now that is a….CUE" Mytho immediately shut up when he felt Fakir's fist hit his head
"BAKA!" Fakir retorted, "That is not the last part, look at the title page on the first page"
Ahiru then took the book and open it
" 'La Danse de Fin Heureuse' par : Drousselmire" Everyone in the room fell in silence again, when Ahiru ask a very naive question "Ne, What does the title mean?"
Everyone in the room fell off their seats and sweat drop
"Honestly Ahiru!" Rue cried, while Mytho chuckles. Ahiru felt her face red in embarrassment while Fakir is laughing hard on how funny she looks, when Uzura took the book
"The Dance of the Happy Ending by Drousselmire" she said
"Eh?" everyone look at her
"This book… I feel like I have seen this before" Uzura with her hands shaking threw the book away from her, luckily Fakir manage to catch it
"Uzura, what the hell are you doing!" Fakir yell at her
"Fakir, she's only a child" Mytho said stopping him
Uzura then hugs Ahiru still shaking, Ahiru saw how scared she looks then look at Fakir
"Ne Uzura chan, doshtano?" Ahiru ask smiling at her
"…" Uzura didn't reply
"I am your big sister right? You can tell me everything you know" Ahiru comforted her
"That-That book… it has finally continued its flow" Uzura said while crying; Ahiru took the little girl in her arms and look at her friends before leaving the room
"It's too much for her, I'll just help her fall asleep" and Ahiru with Uzura went to Fakir's room
In Fakir's room…
"Feeling better Uzura?" Ahiru ask covering the little girl with blanket, she nods. Seeing this, she was about to left the room when she heard Uzura say something
"Ahiru, promise me, you'll never act alone" Uzura said before yawning
"What do you… mean?" Ahiru look back only to find her sleeping peacefully 'Uzura, you know so much yet you talk so little'
Back to the living room, Ahiru was surprised when Fakir suddenly appeared behind her
"Is she asleep?" he ask; she nods her head "I shouldn't have force her, now I she maybe too scared to talk to me nor face me"
"Fakir… everything's going to be alright" and Ahiru gave him another smile while hugging the knight for comfort
"So what now?" Mytho ask looking at them
"We already got a pattern through this book, and an invitation. I guess all that is left now is to go to this ball" then Rue remembered something "but Ahiru's name is neither on it nor Princess Tutu… I assume the princess they talking here is Princess Krahe"
'That's no good, something is still missing… just one more but what could it be?' Fakir, Mytho, Rue all fell to another brainstorming about this when Ahiru step forward
"Minna, I already got my invitation, and it was delivered by someone personally"
Everybody in the living room look at her confused and the duct told them happened to her dream earlier that day…
'This is too much, I never thought that this will all happened in just one day' Mytho thought while listening to Ahiru's story
To be continue….
