Chapter 11- War of Green

Haku's POV

The war had officially begun. The Green Kingdom in doomed. But it was something that was bound to happen soon anyways. I wonder why the Daughter of Evil even bothered to wage war on us. I guess she's just that upset.

It's horrible. So many houses have been burned to the ground. So many innocent lives have been lost. Can't the Yellow Queen hear the cries of the people? Everybody is filled with fear, fear of getting murdered. It was rumored that the Daughter of Evil had ordered the massacre every woman with green hair in the Green Kingdom. Just to get rid of Miku-chan, she had ordered basically every woman in the Green Kingdom to die.

Except me with white hair.

I feared for Miku-chan. What would happen if she was found out as the Prince of Blue's fiancé? What kind of horrible death would she be forced to die then?

Len's POV

"Queen, this really is unreasonable. Maybe you should just wait until we actually find out who the Prince's fiancé is instead of getting rid of every green-haired woman in the Green Kingdom."

My sister simply ignored me. She was dead-set on her will to massacre green-haired women. All this just to murder Miku-san…

The church bell rang three-o-clock.

"Oh, it's snack time." She said. Sighing, I went to get her brioche from the pantry. The cries of the people of the Green Kingdom did not reach her ears. They never would. Never.

She smiled as I returned. But it was the Daughter of Evil that smiled, not Rin. "You know, Len, I would have thought that the war would be over by now. The Green Country is crumbling as it is."

I didn't answer. I merely bowed down to my sister respectfully, as a servant should.

"They sure are persistent, aren't they? Even though they're only weeds…" The Queen stood up to gaze out of the window. I kept my face down. "All of those weeds who don't want to die. Even if they fight back, they'll simply end up," she wiped away dust from the dress, "they'll simply end up tidying my gown."

Suddenly, she gazed at me with desperate eyes. "But you'll always be by my side, right? You'll always be by my side, right, Len?" I gazed at my sister's azure eyes, knowing that I would have to make my choice now.

"Please?" The Queen asked. For a moment, just for a moment, I saw her revert back into Rin.

I went to my pleading sister's side and held her in an embrace. "Of course, Rin, of course. I'll always be with you."

I'm sorry, Miku-san. It looks like I'm going to have to kill you after all. I'm sorry. I really don't want to. But I must. I'm sorry. I felt wetness drip down from my eyes and fall down to my cheeks.

"Len, why are you crying?" Rin asked me as she pulled away.

I hastily wiped away the tears on my face, but they still continued to flow. "I-It's nothing, Rin. I'm fine. I-I'll be going to my room then. I'll leave later." Before my sister could inquire me about my strange behavior, I left for my room in the servants' quarters, my eyes streaming the entire way. Why am I crying? Why won't the tears stop?

Miku's POV

All hell has broken loose here. What did I do to my kingdom? When did everything go wrong? I painted every color perfectly. I painted every false color perfectly in the picture. Why did it go wrong?

I did it for peace. I did it to end the horrible situation that this kingdom was in.

Everything became corrupted. Everything. People were dying because of my miscalculation. I heard a rumor that the Daughter of Evil ordered the massacre of every green-haired woman in the Green Kingdom, a country where now more than a few plots swirl. It's probably true. And it's only for the sake of getting rid of the tainted, corrupted, me.

Tears rolled down my cheeks. "Quickly," I mumbled, "I want this to end quickly."

Suddenly, I thought of the servant, Len-kun. I had come to love him more and more. I will twist the plot slightly as it reaches the climax. Out of self-necessity, I will change the plot. At the very least, I want him to kill me. I want to die smiling from the very bottom of my shallow, shallow heart.

Haku-chan had to leave to buy groceries. Out of all of the women in the household, she was the only one without green hair, and thus, was the only one who was safe from the Daughter's clutches during this war. Without reason, I suddenly wanted to go outside. I don't know why, but I just felt like going outside was the thing to do at the moment. Have you ever felt like that before?

I wonder if Haku-chan was back yet. Probably not. I would have heard her from the garden, which is where I was right now. I wish this war would end soon. It's basically my fault that it happened.

I tensed as I saw the bushes rustle. I would have looked it over as a stray animal if I hadn't seen a flash of yellow. Yellow? Why would there be any yellow here? There was plenty of green, though. The yellow was the same exact shade of yellow as gold. And the same exact shade of Len-kun's hair.

"L-len-kun?" I called out. Suddenly, he ran away. Straight towards the woods. Why are you running from me?

"Len-kun, wait! Wait!" I yelled frantically as I tried to follow him. I chased him into the woods.

"Len-kun, wait! I want to talk to you!"

"Don't follow me!!"

I stumbled blindly towards where his voice came from. This is where the plot will change. I found him standing near the well in the woods. He was wearing a black, hooded cloak, but I could just see some of his messy hair from behind the hood.

He heard me approach him. He turned around and his beautiful blue eyes met mine. They widened in shock and anger and sadness. "Why are you here?" He asked. "I told you not to follow me. It's dangerous for you to be near me, Miku-san. I am loyal to my Queen, my sister."

"I know that." I said stupidly. How could I not? If he wasn't, I wouldn't be able to fulfill my self-necessity. I wouldn't e able to change the plot.

"Miku-san…" Len said again, his voice wavering. "I'm supposed to kill you."

I opened my mouth to tell him that I knew, but my voice wouldn't work. Instead, I slowly smiled and nodded.

"Miku-san, run. Escape from this mess. In this war, you are the one that's in the most danger. Run." Len told me. I happened to notice the dagger that he held in his trembling hands. How could I run? How could I escape? I was the one who created this mess.

I took his hands in mine, dagger and all. If I was to die, I wanted to die at His hand. I want to die smiling.

Len-kun's eyes were filled with shock, but he didn't utter a sound. His azure eyes were filled with a simple question. At the very least, let me die smiling and let me die from you hand, Len-kun. I raised our hands. He was trembling, but my hands didn't quaver at all. It's strange; it wasn't supposed to be like this. But this is how it will be. This is how I will rewrite this script.

He didn't utter a word. It's dark; I suppose it's about midnight by now. I wanted to thank him from the bottom of my heart. Thank you, Len-kun, for letting me love you although it was only for a short amount of time.

I grasped the knife tighter. His hand stops trembling and petrifies, that hand of his. I wrapped my hand over his as if I was simply putting my hand over his. I trust the knife into myself.

"Thank you," I whispered. "I'm sorry."

The massive sparks of war have been dropped.

Len's POV

I slammed my door shut and kicked for a good measure before collapsing on my bed. Miku-san…

I killed her. I can still feel her blood on my hands and clothes. I murdered her. What did I do?

Why? Why? Why did this have to happen?! Sooner or later, someone will recognize the Prince of Blue's fiancé laying dead over a well in the forest. Miku-san…

The clock read a quarter to three. Wearily, feeling as if I was a thousand years old, I made my way to the kitchen, to make my dear sister some brioche.

Why?
