Sephi: Okay people, I'll apologize before I start this chapter. It is incredibly short. T.T This is because I had to put in all of the background info in, since I fast-forwarded the story by two years.

Rune: And for once, it wasn't because she was lazy either.

Sephi: T.T Rune is so mean~

Rune: What did I do?!


Chapter 5- Two Years Later

Haku's POV

It's been two years since I befriended Miku on that day by that tree when we were still village girls. We are city girls now. Now, we spend every day working for a wealthy merchant. Although the chores are somewhat tedious, I like this job. Miku and I are constantly chatting with each other as we work. We share the same room, so we are never separated from each other.

I think the other servants are jealous of Miku's beautiful hair. Of course, I still have white hair, but somehow, it doesn't bother me as much anymore. Besides, everything is different here anyway. It has been that way ever since Miku told me that even I was an "amazing person". I think this is because Miku is always by my side. Even if the entire world looked down at me and laughed at me, I know that as long as she was by my side, I would be happy.

I hope that we will always be together.


Rin's POV

Today has been another boring day. The people are still complaining about my taxes. How annoying. You'll all just end up tidying up my gown anyway, so why even bother to try to change these facts?

They should all just bow down to me.


Len's POV

During the past two years, Rin has changed very much. She is barely the sister I knew anymore. How can I bring you back, Rin? Although we are twins, why are we so distant, so separated? Why were our fates ripped in two? Why can't you understand that you don't have to be alone? Even if the entire world becomes your enemy, I'll always be by your side, no matter what. For you, I would, and already have made myself an evil. So just stay where you are and smile, okay?


Gakupo's POV

The Queen is very unfair. Today, during her "snack time", I was thrown into a cage. I, her own, minstrel! She threw me into a cage! All I did was eat some of her brioche. I had skipped breakfast and lunch already, and since she just left it there on the table, I thought she wouldn't mind if I ate some. But no, I wasn't supposed to touch a crumb of the delicious brioche that her Majesty's precious servant brother had made her. This is so cruel!!


Kaito's POV

How irritating. The advisors of the castle have insisted that I should start looking for a future bride. Then again, I am eighteen. None of the girls I have seen so far have interested me. They are all the same: rich, plain, and obsessed. Seriously, one of them drooled in my presence!

As for now, I have nothing else to do but greet girl after girl. How irksome. It was time for the next interview.

"Now, come here."


Sephi: Again, I apologize for the short chapter. I can assure you that the next one will be at least 1,500 words long again.

Rune: Once she writes it, that is.

Sephi: Also, I've brainstormed the beginning of another fanfic that I was planning to write.

Rune: But it's very questionable if it will ever be written or not. Please R&R and tell Sephi not to be lazy.

Sephi: !! And tell Rune not to be a meanie too, please!^^
