Ribon No Kishi (Princess Knight) Sailor Moon Style
Chapter Five
It was time for Prince Seren's coronation. Diamond was eager to see what was going to be said when the queen drank for her cup. Prince Seren entered the throne room and descended on the throne. After the crown was placed on his head he stood up, unaware of his mother's ailing after taking a sip from her cup.
"It is time to confront a snake in this court" He said firmly, turning to Diamond. "Do you deny it" Diamond smirked.
"I think you are the true snake here" He spat. "A snake that eats its own tail" At that moment, Queen Selenity stumbled down the steps gasping.
"Mother!" Prince Seren exclaimed. Diamond laughed.
"Look at this pitiful side of the queen" He scoffed. "Under the burden of her sins she is unable to remain standing" The queen fell to the floor and Seren ran to her side. "Talk now!" Diamond commanded. Queen Selenity gasped and rose, a smile on her face. She pushed Seren aside and began to sing out her burdens.
Listen. Listen everybody.
Those were hard, painful and sad days.
I've been keeping silent and hiding the truth.
Whenever I ate anything, there was no taste.
Whenever I watched anything, there was no joy.
That is because I have been afraid,
of the day this would be revealed.
"Mother" Seren cried, knowing where this was leading, but Selenity pushed him away.
Seren is....Seren is...a girl.
Everyone gasped.
"Serenity is his name" Selenity spoke out.
Yes, Serenity is not a prince, but a princess.
Diamond smirked, unable to believe his luck. The potion had actually worked.
All that's too be blamed here, Are the rules of this country.
Serenity's face paled as everyone stared at her. She went to Selenity, but the queen pushed her aside.
Just because she was born a girl, She can't sit on the throne?
The rules of this country are wrong. My poor daughter!
Queen Selenity collapsed to the ground. When she looked up her daughter, she realized the terror she had brought upon them both. Frightened she turned to see Diamond sitting on the throne grinning like a maniac.
"Arrest Serenity and the Queen" He commanded. the guards came in and took them away. Diamond laughed. The kingdom was now his to control. Sapphire sighed, Diamond was in way over his head.
Jailer Trista sat on the table reading the notice she had recieved from Diamond, the new king.
Jailer Trista,
I order that you kill the Queen and her daughter by poison before day break
"He orders me to kill the royal family" She whispered. "by poison, that's..." Suddenly her partners Amara and Michelle.
"What's going on?" Michelle asked.
"Nothing" Trista said, pocketing the notice. "Some new prisoners will be arriving soon"
"Really?" Amara enquired.
"They belonged to the royal family until recently, but they're prisoners now. We shall handle them accordingly" The other two nodded.
Can't eat (can't eat)
Can't eat (can't eat)
Can't make a living being just a prison guard!
Even if we try jangling the keys loudly
It's not like our cut will get bigger
This isn't fair (this isn't fair)
This isn't fair (this isn't fair)
It's unfair to a prison guard!
Even pretending to be honest and working hard
This work isn't fair
Threatening and looking around
I earn my miniscule wages in these various ways
That is our living skill
Up until now (up until now)
Up until now (up until now)
We've lived like that, but...
It won't change as long as we're prison guards!
Can't eat (can't eat)
Can't eat (can't eat)
Can't make a living being just a prison guard!
The door opened and Queen Selenity and Princess Serenity were thrown inside. The jailers stared at them for a while.
"Could we get something to eat?" Selenity asked.
"If you're asking for a favor, you should some expression of grattitude" Amara said gruffly.
"For example, that ring or something" Michelle pointed to Selenity's ring. Trista rolled her eyes. Michelle reached out to touch the ring, but Serenity pushed her away.
"Don't touch it you savage" She shouted.
"Serenity, stop it" Selenity said quietly. Amara grabbed the ring greedily.
"Do you have anything else?" Michelle asked.
"No. all of our possessions were taken" Selenity replied.
"Then go to sleep" Amara snapped.
"What about our meal" Serenity shouted.
"Such a small reward won't buy you any food" Amara and Michelle laughed. Trista sighed. The jailers left the cell.
"Those cheaters" Serenity scowled. Her heart had grown cold after what had happened.
"I am sorry" Selenity said softly tears in her eyes. "It's all because I wasn't able to hold my tounge" Serenity shook her head.
"It wasn't your fault mother" She said. "They slipped something in your drink, I am sure of it" Selenity sighed.
"It matters not" She said.
"Yes it does. I hate Diamond and anyone associated with him. I hate the world" Serenity declared.
