Chapter 11-The Boys

Misaki was still in the garden, playing with Lily, the Persian cat. The cat meowed to him when he rubbed his fingers on her forehead. He was enjoying the wonderful view of rose garden. The scenery was very beautiful with the colorful flowers bloomed while being shade by the fluffy white cloud on the azure sky.

~Misaki Pov~

It's been two weeks after the wedding and that night. After the night, we do it a few times, mostly during the nights. Usagi-san was busy now with the news about a war was about to break among the continents. I missed my brother a lot and I kept seeing him in my dreams but I tried to hide it from Usagi-san as I don't wanted to cause him any problems.

'At least I can be useful to him by just being silent about my needs.' I don't want to burden him. However, I really felt helplessly as I just a mere human without anything special. Not like Usagi-san who had the power of a pureblood vampire. This thought made me wonder to this morning event.

~Flash back~

'What I want to cook, today? 'I walked, down the marble stairs. I looked up to be greeted by a large Usami family photo hanging on the castle wall. I stopped to examine the beautiful family. Usagi-san stilled handsome like always and there were three other people by his side. The bit older man I assumed that the king or Usagi-san's father. Usagi-san once told me that his father named Usami Fuyuhiko while his mother named Usami Natsumi. He also told me about his parent unhappy marriage. That had become my reason to make this marriage - Usagi and I become a happy one. I want to give Usagi-san a reason to live on and strive for the best.

Then, my emerald eyes caught the sight of Usagi-san's brother. I think his name was Usami Haruhiko. I looked closer to the picture but I could not see any resemblance between Usagi-san and his brother. His brother had a brown dark hair while Usagi-san had a shiny silver hair. It was also same for the eyes. His brother had a pair of black eyes while Usagi-san had a stunning pair of amethyst eyes. While by fascinating by the wonderful picture of Usami royal family, my ears caught the voice of some women talking. I focused my mind to the conversation.

"You know it turn out that Princess Misaki is a boy!" One of the three maids spoke. I warped my arms across my chest waiting for the reply.

"Yeah, I was very shocked when Aikawa-san said that Akihiko-sama bride is a boy. I never expected that Akihiko-sama will bend to that state." A blonde young girl answered.

"Well Deyna, Misaki-sama is very beautiful. It hard for me to say but I don't think Misaki-sama will live up to the court expectation. You know that the nobles were busy matched their daughters to Akihiko-sama. After all, without anybody pointed out, Akihiko-sama will be the next king as his brother is the queen's son with other man." The third maid with a velvet-blue hair and a hazel eyes, stated her opinions.

'Oh that explained everything. That's why Usagi-san is different from his brother.' Misaki concluded.

"And, Misaki-sama is just a mere human without any special power. I don't want to be rude but I just don't want to see Misaki-sama's agony or the sorrow face when the time comes. The news about the assignation of the royal family already made a big uproar throughout the nation. When, Akihiko-sama came back, everyone was happy, as Akihiko-sama was still alive... Then, the news about Akihiko-sama survival spread throughout the castle." The raven hair girl started to mimics the incident.

"Speaking of human, it was a first time that Akihiko-sama drinks a human blood from the human itself. Before this, he just drank blood from the wine glass only. Everybody knows that Akihiko-sama is a generous person." The velvet-blue girl added.

"How do you know that Akihiko-sama drinks human blood? The blond hair girl asked.

"Well, I assigned to clean Akihiko-sama bedroom. Then, I saw blood stains on the fabric. So, I assumed that Akihiko-sama already drinks Misaki-sama blood. " The velvet-blue girl answered.

I just listened to the never ending chatting. I tried processing the new information that I got. Usagi-san never said that I was his first. I blushed after thinking about that. It sound like I was his FIRST! I giggled with the thought.

"Back to Misaki-sama, I feel sorry for him. He was such a good boy. Yesterday, Vivian said that Misaki-sama helped her and the kitchen maids to cook dinner for Akihiko-sama. Everyone knows that Akihiko-sama was a picky one. He will never eat something if it was not his favorite's food. Do you remember when Rose, the new maid added green pepper to the food, Akihiko-sama just looked and walked away with a angry face , not touching the food. She was lucky for having a generous person like that as her boss. If not, I think she already will be thrown out."The raven hair girl opened a story about Usagi-san. I knew that Usagi-san was a picky type but I never know that he had a heart of gold.

'Maybe Usagi-san was very a nice person…'

"However, Myrah, I heard that the court was against Your Highness wedding. I think Misaki-sama will be a burden for Akihiko-sama in the near future. Well you know that the war is on the edge to break throughout the continent with the neighbor country."

BURDEN?! The only word that I really don't wanted to hear. I'm being a burden to Usagi-san. And the war is starting!?

Then, the three maids just past through me, leaving me in very painful sorrow, like someone had stabbed you with a sharp knife. Sharp and hurt at the same time.

~End of flash back~

After that, I ran toward the garden and cried as much as I went under the Sakura tree. Usagi-san proposed to me under this tree. After a while, I stopped and looked up to the blue sky. 'Why on Earth I stand here crying like a girl. It's not like Usagi-san hate me or something. Yes, he never say that I was a burden to him." I stick to the thought and promised myself if I caused anyone such a bothersome, I will go away from here.

Anyway, I'm also got to know about the warlords and their right hand truth identities. Well I started with Nowaki. He's actually a beast while Hiroki was a demon. Shinobu was also a demon and Miyagi was a werewolf. So, there's nothing a mere human can do in this situations. The facts along started to make my heart felt like it being shattered into a thousand pieces.

I don't know why but every time I want buried the thought deep in my mind it's like to pop up anywhere and anytime. It makes me hard to control my tears from falling.

'Why you choose me….Usagi-san.' I kept wonder. My eyes started to pool but immediately I wiped it, thinking that Usagi never said that I was a bothered.

Then, Lily jumped off from my lap and run across the garden. Actually, the garden was built because of me (not really because of me). Ah! Whatever… It's all Usagi-san idea. Well, one day, I unconsciously said to him that I like roses and I once dreamt to have a wonderful garden of roses. Then, a week later, Usagi-san brought me to this garden.

"It's for you, Misaki." Usagi-san smiled brightly to me. I was stunned to see this but I'm really happy. Without I realize, I'm already hugged that man and thanks him for this lovely gift. Indeed, I really loved him.

"Lily, come back here. Don't play near the pool." Actually, the cat was approaching a man with a light brown hair. He looked sad and about to cry.

"Are you ok?" I uttered words of worry. It makes me sad to look at the poor boy.

The boy shocked while wiping off his tears. I'm only could feel sorry for him, for whatever problem his facing right now. Therefore, I decided to have a talk with him.

"Ah…Thank you. I'm ok. Emph… I never saw you around. Are you a new guy? Well, nice to meet you. I'm Onodera Ritsu, twenty- years old. You can call me Onodera." The boy stretches his hand out to greet me. I take a hold of his hand and introduce myself.

"My name is Takahashi Misaki, twenty- years old, same as you. And you can call Misaki. What are you doing here?" I sat beside him at the edge of the pool. The sound from the fountain echoed the surrounding.

"Oh… I'm working here as a servant. Do you work here too?" He looked to me. Now, I can see his red eyes, meaning he had been crying a lot.

"Well sort of." I don't how to say to him but I think it's alright.

Then, we chat chatting for about an hour. It's took me about some times to convince him to share his problem. It's turned out that he lost his family 5 years ago. He been living in the street, unwanted when his relatives kicked him out from his house, claiming the fortune to be them. He's also said that he broke up with his lover not long before the accident. His luck became brighter when the prince (Usagi-san) took him back to the castle and give him a job so he can live by himself. I nearly cried. His story was too sad. I can felt his anger, sad and agony plus the pain, he got from tragic incident.

Although, I only met him a few hours ago, I felt very close to him. After that, he asked my permission to go back to his work He said that he somehow felt relief after talked about his problem with somebody else.

"Well if you feel want to talk to me again, I will always in this garden." I waved him a goodbye. Lily came purring at my leg. I took her into my arm and looked up to the sky.

'It's not boring day after all…'
