Once again I don't own anything, only the new characters I made up, like Marcus, so far.

Chapter 2: The promise he made.

Vincent Valentine woke up the next morning wondering what he was planning to do. Since his father was out on a mission and won't be back till late afternoon, he decided to dodge his servants, climb over the walls and adventure the Bazaar. Since he didn't have that much happiness in his life he was hoping he was able to search for some in the village. He got out of bed and locked his room door. Vincent wore his usual practice suit, which subbed for the villagers' uniform he also messed his hair, dirtied his face and covered his face with a U-ban mask. (U-Ban mask: a mask that has a face of an animal) He then climbed out of his window and landed in the entrance of the Village. He thought quick and hid behind a tree. As he was doing that he bumped into someone, Vincent turned around and noticed he bumped into a boy, he was staring at Vincent with a strange look.

"-hey, watch where you're going? – wait, who are you, I never seen you in this village before? And what's with that mask your wearing?"

"……Uh??? I'm a traveler, the names Vince- I mean Vic."

Vincent was glad he thought quick and made up a name, saving his time staying there. He stood up and helped the boy up; He patted himself down and looked into Vincent's eyes.

"That's cool, the names Marcus, but many people call me Mar. So, what you here for, are you with your parents…..wait, Travelers aren't allowed here in this village without permission from the king, and he's not here. Who are you; tell me or you're in big trouble-

Vincent quickly placed his hand over the boy's mouth and shushed him.

"You don't understand, if I show you my true face, do you promise to tell no one and keep this conversation a secret? Please."

The Boy Marcus nodded his head while Vincent removed his hand from the kid's mouth. He slipped the mask off revealing his true identity. Marcus gasps knowing who he really was.

"Prince Vincent Valentine.-

"Shhhhhh!!!! You promised not to tell anyone." Vincent said holding the mask on his lap.

"-But-

"A promise is a promise."

"Prince Vincent, what are you doing in a place like this? Shouldn't you be in the castle? When your father finds out he'll punish you for sure-

"That's if he finds out. Now please, promise me that you won't tell anyone."

"Ok, ok. But what are you doing outside the castle?"

Vincent stopped for a second, just to check his surrounding making sure no one else was listening. Then he turned back to Marcus and explains how the castle, his rich like life was boring and annoying. How he was able to doing anything on his own. And that every servant had to help him as well as follow him. Vincent was just about to ask to hang, when his father came up and ask him a question; he immediately placed his U-Ban mask back on his face hiding his identity.

"Hey son, what are you doing all the way over here-……..And who is this, another of your weird friends Marcus?"

Marcus looked to Vincent and then to his father thinking want to say next, But Vincent Interrupted and spoke out, before Marcus tattled.

"Yea, I'm Vic. Marcus's new friend. Nice to meet you Mr." Vincent smiled.

The man stood there with his eyebrow cocked upward he then stared at his son. Marcus merely smiled slightly and nodded his head. His father then walked off and told them have to have fun, but to return home before dark and before the Peacemakers was let out. When he was gone, Vincent took off his mask and sighed from relief.

"Prince Vincent Valentine, please forgive me!! I should have talked earlier, if you hadn't father would surely find out it was really you, the prince-"

"It's ok. That happens rarely, so what do you want to do now?"

"Whatever, Prince Vincent Valentine wishes to do."

"Don't call me Prince. Call me Vincent and only Vincent. Ok?"

"Ok"

Vincent and Marcus decided to hang by the forest where it was said that the great King Valentine killed the demon Dragon, Olin. They both hung out, and played together and became really great friends, sure there was servants yelling out Vincent's name, but none bothered to come into the forest. Both Vincent and Marcus annoyed the calls and began laughing. After the day was over and the sun was beginning to come down, both Marcus and Vincent Pinky swore and promised to be friends forever.

To be continued.
