You are my lady , and I'm you're servant, if it's for the sake of protecting you ,I'll become evil for you, so, I did. After all, you are my beloved queen, yes, but most importantly, my twin.
Flashback
-Len, Rin, where are you!
The tall and fair lady ran all over the beautiful garden of roses. She couldn't hear our giggling.
-Say Rin, should we head back to the castle? Mother should be worried
-No Len! Let them find us, will it be more fun?!
-…Yeah, you're right!
We were laughing. I could hear to her innocent laughter all day long. Despite being my twin, I caught myself being quite fond over her. My Rin, my queen…
-You two! Show yourself at once, the ceremony will soon start! We need you to represent the crown with your parents!
The maid was still searching for them
-Chhhhh!
Rin whispered to me. She covered my mouth. We were crouching under the tea table, which was in the center of the whole garden. Nobody in the palace knew this place more than we did! We would always hide here. It was our secret base, kind of. When we needed to escaped the stuffiness and the tight air of the castle, we would flee here, the only place in the whole castle where we would feel free.
-Oh god you two! I found you! Look at you, you're clothes are all dirty! Come, we will go change your clothes!
The maid took my hand in her right hand, and took Rin's hand in her left hand. She dragged us to our room, changed us and rushed to the ball room. There, when the maid placed us next to our parents, they scolded us. However, I couldn't hear their voice, nor see their faces, because I saw the second most beautiful woman. She had long light green pigtails. I think she was the daughter of the queen of a neighbor country. Once the scolding was finished, I decided to go talk to her, it was love at first sight. I rushed everywhere to try to find her. When I found her, she was with the prince in blue who came from a country oversea. I was standing in the corner of the wall that's separated me and my maiden. Then, the prince kissed her. I was shocked, and mostly, angry. I was about to cry when I heard my queen's voice
-Len, what are you doing here? Come on! Let's go get some cake and other sweet things!
She took my hand and took me far, while I took a last glimpse of this sad scene, as the prince took her hands and hugged her.
Eventually, the king and the queen got mad at each other and separated. The king took me, the queen took Rin.
-Len! Let go of me mother! LEN!
-RIN!
That day, tears wouldn't stop flooding out my eyes. I got separated from my one and only queen. I am your servant and you are my queen, destiny divided the paths of two pitiful twins, but I couldn't accept it. I grew older, and ran away from the castle that my father assigned me to. I wanted to see my only reason of living, because the love that I had for the lady in green fled away.
End of Flashback
-Len, Len, earth to Len!
I snapped out of my bubble when I heard Rin's voice.
-Oh I'm sorry Milady, how can I service you?
-Go get me my afternoon snack; I want to eat it on the balcony.
-Yes your highness
Man, I really need to snap out of it. At least, now I can stay with my ruler. I went to the kitchen and prepared her a sweet snack, like she always liked them. Then, I prepared a small table that I dressed with her favorite silverware.
-Milady, your afternoon snack and tea is ready!
She came, deposited her black fan as I pulled her chair so she could sit.
-Today's snack is brioche, I tried to say cheerfully
She smiled innocently, like she always did. Please, keep that so innocent smile. For me, not for anyone else.
Later on, I went to send that letter she asked me to. I went to the green village to get fetch her some sweets. I dressed as a commoner. I didn't want people starting to freak out because I have my queen's royal emblem on my mantle. As I was walking, I bumped into a girl who was recklessly running.
-Oh! I'm sorry! Are…you alrig…
I saw her face, my first love's face
-Ouch… I'm also sorr… Len? Is that you?
-…
-You haven't changed a bit!
-Y…yeah, so what were you up to also Miku? You disappeared…
She blushed and looked away
-Well, it' kind of a long story. Say, you want to go take something to drink while we talk this out?
I was still speechless, seeing her after she disappeared. Let me justify myself. When my father assigned me to a faraway castle, this maid came with us. As soon as we were a little older, I confessed my feelings towards her. She accepted them, and you got together. One night, as we hosted a ball, I offered her to accompany me. She declined, due she was a servant, but I bought her a black dress, with a mascaraed mask, as the ball was a mascaraed. When the day of the ball came, I waited for her, but she never came. Since then, I never saw her again
-No Miku, I can't … I have to go, nice seeing you
I ran away. She was going to explain to me, why did I decline her? Maybe, somewhere within me, I was a little bit scared of her answer. I got on my horse and galloped back to the palace.
-Len! What took you so long?
-I'm sorry Milady, I truly am.
-Well at least your safe
She brushed her fingers on my face while smiling. Yeah because…
Even if the whole world turned their back on you, I will always protect you, even if I must become evil…
