Once upon a time, there lived a really pretty girl named Candy Clementine. She's the princess to the Kingdom of Elior. The daughter of King Camerson and Queen Grace.
Living here is no piece of cake, however, the Kingdom of Elior faced a great enemy. The Tryclar Kingdom. Elior and Tryclar are publicly sworn enemies. Both of their military and magician skills are similar.
*Timeskip
"Ahh! Killua!" Good morning." A voice calls out to me as I'm having breakfast.
Hi, good morning to you too, Miss Candy." I turn around, and sees the blue-haired girl. "I just want to thank you again, for taking me into your castle and helping me out."
"That happened more than three weeks ago, why are you still thanking me?"
"I felt that it was really nice of you. Because without you, I would've still been lost back in the city next to that giant meadow place."
"Hey! To be fair, I took you in because you saved my life from those gangsters over there. And you had a really cool magic power…" She hesitates, "Who knows, maybe fate planned this all along. Maybe we're destined to meet..."
*Timeskip (A month ago. Candy's P.O.V)
"What? A wish? I can wish for anything in the world?" I (Candy) ask.
"That is correct. But only for six months" The voice answers.
"Well, my mom is the Queen and my dad is the King, so if I want something, I can just ask them… Oh! I'll ask for something I never had before. Or, should I say, someone?"
"Hmm? So what is it? What is your wish?"
"I wish for a true friend. A friend who will never leave me nor betray me."
"That's it? You can wish for much more. Like magical powers, or control of the entire world!"
"I don't want any of that. I just want friendship, it's something I haven't experienced before."
"Alright….Your wish...is my command."
It is a minute after that, I meet Killua for the first time in a dark alley.
Yes, that is correct, Killua Zoldyck is the true friend I wished for.
*Timeskip (Back to the present, still Candy's P.O.V)
After wondering the castle, I walk back to my room, which is on the second floor. When I open the door, I see Killua sleeping on my bed. If it's anyone else, he can get executed for invading my private property. However, I quietly sit next to him and watch him sleep. He's basically snoring... How adorable.
My movements wake him up, when he looks at me, my face blushes bright red.
"Hmm Miss Candy? Why's your face red? Are you okay?" He puts his pale hand onto my forehead to check if I have a temperature.
I panic and answer in a hurry, "Umm..n-no, I'm fine...I'm really fine…"
"Okay then, if you say so." He smiles at me.
Gosh, his smile is the reason why I love him. They're so bright for an indoor person like him. I wish he can stay with me longer, longer than five months.
No, I wish he can last, forever.
My (Killua's) P.O.V
"So... I heard about this war going on with the Tryclar Kingdom? What's that about?" I ask.
"Mmm, this should be common sense for people. But we've been in a war with them for three times before. We won the second and the third of the three wars. But we heard that they got a lot stronger ever since their last defeat. So...we're kinda screwed."
"Hehe." I sharpen my nails into claws, "I might be able to help."
"Wow! They're pretty sharp! How did you do that?" She asks.
I was just about to say they're from years and years of tortuous training, but then I realize I don't have to - I can make up my past in this new world.
"Pure talent." I mumble quietly.
"Mmm okay. But even if you join the army, it's only one more person, still can't change the outcome of the battle.
Candy's P.O.V
"Please don't go to war. I want you with me! You're my friend! I don't want you to die!"
The thoughts of losing Killua overwhelms me. I know he can last for another five months, but my heart breaks whenever I think about him leaving me.
Suddenly, I feel his hand on my head. He lightly pats me and says. "If you don't want me to, I won't. So don't worry."
Emotions overwhelmed, tears rush out of my eyes. I nod silently.
"Afterall…" Killua gets up from his bed and kneels down to me. "You're my princess, right?"
"Oh God Killua no! Not you." Words rush out my uncontrollably. "Just treat me like a normal person, okay? Just a normal friend. Don't regard me as a princess."
"Sure thing, Candy, sure thing."
It's the first time someone called her by her name without honorifics. The meaning of friendship is starting to mend her broken, shattered heart.
