The golden sun streamed through the drapes as Endymion stretched. He dressed in his gold robes and ate his breakfast. After washing his face, he went down to the courtyard. He did this every morning, and like every morning, there she was waiting for him. His beautiful queen, his love.
"Good morning, Endymion." She called to him. "Did you sleep well, my sweet prince?" She asked, her long hair blowing gracefully in the wind.
"As always, my love." He said, bringing her hands to his lips and kissing them lightly. Together, they roamed the gardens, laughing and holding hands. He didn't know how long he had been there for, but it seemed like forever. It was the only place he could remember, and whenever he asked about his past, she replied with,
"I do not know. All I know is one day you arrived here at my door. You were tired and we provided you a place to rest. And you chose to stay here with me." He accepted that is all she knew. Perhaps his home had been destroyed, or he had run away, for no one ever came for him. She rested her head against his shoulder, humming softly, twirling a flower in her hand. She was so peaceful, how could he ask for anything more?
"Endymion, can you remember anything before here?" She asked, like she did everyday. And like everyday, he would shake his head.
"Nothing, and I will tell you if I do." That seemed to please her greatly. She dropped the flower as they reached closer to the castle. Endymion never looked back at it, if he did he would have seen the flower whither and die. But he didn't looked back. He never did.
"I need to go to my room for a bit, you may go to the library if you like." She said, breaking their usual pattern. Endymion was confused, but he nodded.
"Of course. I will see you at lunch, love?" He asked her as she began to leave. She smiled at him.
"Yes, you will." She watched him walked away, closely followed by her servant. The woman proceeded to her room and smiled coldly at her reflection. She sighed heavily as she was bored with this daily routine.
"Only one more millennium of this." She said, laughing bitterly. "Let's see how she's fairing without him still." The mirror changed and an image of a moping girl appeared. Usagi's long blonde hair was messy and her eyes were red and puffy. Her rival laughed at the sight of it. "Now, Moon Princess, how does it feel to be unloved? Tonight, I will succeed in the final process." She swept her hair over her shoulder and composed herself to the sweet girl he loved. Only soon she wouldn't have to be like that. She smiled in the spite of it.
"Endymion, please do me a favor." She said as he took her in his arms.
"Yes?" He was weak to her will.
"Say my name." She commanded, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck. He looked bemused.
"Of course, my Queen, Galaxia." He whispered before she kissed him passionately. How sweetly he says it, she thought, her amber eyes filled with a burning lust.
