"In a far away land, long ago, lived a king and his fair queen. Many years had they longed for a child and finally their wish was granted. A daughter was born, and they called her Dawn. Yes, they named her after the dawn for she filled their lives with sunshine. Then a great holiday was proclaimed throughout the kingdom, so that all of high or low estate might pay homage to the infant princess. And our story begins on that most joyful day…"

Yue's voice came over the stage as Oscar, dressed up as the queen, walked up onto the stage, giving the audience a quite surprise. One may think that Paladin's should have a bulky body because of their armor but Oscar here was the exact opposite. Slim, pale and almost looked as if he was REALLY a woman. Followed by a high wizard who was DESPERATE to continue smiling. Not surprising, there was a scream from the crowd (fangirls) and one particular scream from King Tristen's daughter, who promptly jumped out of her chair upon the appearance of Xeonhart.

One could practically see the high wizard twitching in annoyance at the eruption of screams. Trying his best to sustain his smile, he continued to smile somewhat forcefully as Oscar sweat dropped.

"Xeonhart. Try to smile more naturally." The purple hair cross-dressing queen whispered from the corner of his mouth.

"Oscar…have you ever seen me smile naturally? Especially out in the public." Xeonhart whispered back his eyes twitching.

"Good point.."

Oscar glanced toward Yue, who was at the microphone, making a slight gesture to continue or else Xeonhart was going to explode any second. Yue hastily opened his script book and continued.

"Thus on this great and joyous day did all the kingdom celebrate the long awaited royal birth. And good King Xeon and his Queen made welcome their life long friend. Fondly had these monarchs dreamed one day their kingdoms to unite. Thus today would they announce that Stephen, Jacob's son and heir to the neighboring kingdom would be betrothed. And so to her his gift he brought, and looked, unknowing, on his future bride."

The curtains came down, along with applause from the audience. Almost immediately Kai and the crew came out pushing different props into place for the next scene.

Xeonhart dropped his forced smile and sighed in relief. Oscar patted him on the back.

"Come on it wasn't that bad…" The high wizard gave a glare.

"Oh? I would like to see YOU smile forcefully up there."

"…on second thought never mind."


Backstage

"Julian, are you ready? Your scene would be coming up soon." The blonde priest said poking his head into the dressing room.

"Yes…but this dress is giving me a hard time…" Julian said obviously uncomfortable with wearing a dress, since she never wore one until now. There was a small click as she looked up to see Yue with a camera.

"Heh..I'm sure your fan club would die to have this picture…" Yue said evilly and patted his camera.

"YUE YOU BASTARD…wait fan club?!" The lord knight said, dumbfounded.

"Yup! It was created upon the first week you joined our guild! You won't believe how crazy they are. They know EVERYTHING, including all the color of your underwear and what kind of shampoo you use!"

"WHAT?!"


Up at the stage

"Okay! I need Orpheus, Edward and Camus up on the stage! Rufus! Did you copy the spell storm gust from Xeonhart?"

"Yes……although I found it quite painful…"

"That's what happens when you get on his bad side. Believe me I suffer it everyday."

"……oh…"

Orpheus and Edward came onto the side of the stage straightening out their magician uniform as Camus stood by the side waiting for the cue. While Rufus and the three magicians were doing their part a particular heated discussion was going on in the back.

A discussion between half-brothers that is.

"Why are you so defensive about me being the prince Sir Xeno? I'm not a bloodthirsty vampire like you! I should be the most suitable person for this role."

The high wizard argued, only to receive a venomous look from Sir Xeno. The guild leader wasn't particularly happy of being called a bloodthirsty vampire.

"Are you saying I'm not suitable?"

"Erm…" Xeonhart hesitated. "Well no but…I still think I should be the prince. Because you know…there's a certain scene were the prince has to…"

His voice became quieter as a small blush came upon the high wizard's face. It only took Sir Xeno a millisecond to realize where this was going.

"…oh no you aren't…you aren't thinking of doing THAT are you?"

"…if I was?" Xeonhart asked his dear half-brother, expecting a reasonable response from him.

Boy was he wrong.

"I am not going to let you take my cute daughter. She is too pure for your dirty thoughts!"

…WTF?!

"What the?! When was she your DAUGHTER Sir Xeno! You know she has a father!" The silvered haired magic user retorted, utterly surprised and dumbfounded by the 180-degree turn of personality of his brother.

"She's in my guild so there for she's my guild daughter! How can such an adorable, cute and sweet girl like her become a knight! She should be an angel!"


Xeonhart's mind…

What the heck?! He's acting like some French weird guy who has a fetish for girls!

"You know it reminds me of that one guy in that girl comic book they were selling at the bookstore…what was the title again?"

Ragnarok Host Club?

"Yeah! That's it! He's acting EXACTLY like the king of that club..uh..Ramaki!"

Now that you mention it……he IS exactly like him…

"Did you know about the other side of him?"

No I barely meet him outside of the guild anyway…wait a minute…you should know that too!

"Oh yeah!…my bad?"

"Sigh As soon as Sir Xeno is done ranting about how wonderful his 'daughter' is I am going to have a long talk with you.

"…damn…"


Back to Reality

Xeonhart continued to stare as his crazy brother's reaction as Sir Xeno went off into his own world of imagination.

It was only a matter of minutes before Xeonhart came up with a brilliant plan…almost evil as Yue.

"Oh Sir Xeno, I am sure that the rest of the guild members would love to hear what I am seeing right now. I'm sure GRIEVER would be MORE THAN happy to spread this out to the entire Rune Midgard."

The high wizard said in (his version) an innocent voice, halting the lord knight to turn to him with an expression of horror.

"No! Anything but that! Do you know how many years I spent building my guild characteristic?!"

"……you were making that personality?" Xeonhart questioned raising an eyebrow.

"Well I…"

"I don't want to hear your history anyway. Look just give me the role of the prince and I won't say a single word of what I just saw."

"……fine! But no kissing!"

"What?! But that's mandatory in this play! What are we going to put in for a substitution? Give her a hug and hope that she would wake up?"

"Well…yes."

"Your either a completely idiot or have a screw loose. Tell me, did you hit your head of the wall too hard?"

"…………."

"……"

The high wizard sighed, there was no way Sir Xeon would say yes to kissing. What if it was a little bit minor?

"Okay, how about a kiss on the cheek. No important meaning, the audience won't know and the best of all it's completely natural for friends to do it."

Okay so maybe the last part isn't true, but still it was reasonable enough to get the weird and stubborn guild leader to agree.

"……that I'll accept. BUT! Don't try anything! I'm going to be watching…"

"I know I know. I'm not planning to make a move on her that fast."

"………w-h-a-t?"

Xeonhart flinched in realization of what he had just said. And by the tone of his brother's voice, he was going to be mice meat if he didn't start running…

Right about now.
