Chapter 7: A risky role

Third Person POV

"Okay, lead roles. I assembled you because I wanted to give you the scripts as early as now." Kaito-sensei says. The quartet and Kaito were the only ones left in the music room after the auditions.

"Sensei, we have a question." Lenka suddenly spoke.

"Go on." Kaito says and nods.

"How come it was the four of us who were picked from the auditionees? There were so many good voices."

"Because it is the four of you who perfectly fits the roles. I did not pick you based on your abilities alone, but also because of your character when you sing." Kaito explains.

"But what exactly is our role?" Rin asks.

"That's why we're here today. I will be explaining the storyline of our play." Kaito prepares to speak.

"Once in the Yellow kingdom, there was great prosperity because of the King with a fortuneteller as his aid. The fortuneteller leaves in order to help other kingdoms prosper, but the King did not allow it because of his selfishness. He kills the fortuneteller in order to stop him. The fortuneteller has his last words, that the child who has the birthmark looking like blood will bring the end to the kingdom. The Queen bore twins, and they were named Allen and Riliane. Riliane, the daughter, had the birthmark. Terrified of the fortuneteller's words, the King ordered the daughter to be sent to the tower. But soon enough, the daughter learns of the existence of her twin, the Prince, and decides that she wanted to be his Maid. When they were fourteen, the Prince becomes the ruler of the kingdom. He had the Maid by his side. The Prince was a ruthless ruler, when he wanted money he will squeeze it out of the commoners, one victim was Mei, the swordswoman who taught Riliane how to fight. Once he fell in love with a girl from the Green country, Michaela. But, Michaela loved a man from the Blue country across the sea, Kyle. Enraged in jealousy, the Prince ordered to destroy the Blue country. Even if Riliane, who also fell in love with Kyle, did not want to harm the person she loves, she followed Allen for she wanted the Prince to be always happy. Michaela learned this and wanted to seek revenge. She, together with Mei and the commoners, formed a revolution. Soon the Prince was captured. He will be executed in front of the commoners. But until the last moment, the Maid offered to exchange places with the Prince, since they wouldn't notice the difference. The Prince discovers that they are siblings, but Riliane had already sacrificed herself in place of Allen."

A sobbing noise was heard.

Lenka cried. "How tragic for Riliane! Waaaaaaaaaah!" she shouted and hugged Rin. Rin was startled and patted Lenka's head.

"So noisy, stupid girl. Stop crying. Kid." Rinto teased.

"Meanie!" Lenka said and just cried. Rin and Len just sighed.

"Wait sensei... Does that mean we, the maids need to crossdress as the Prince?" Rin asked.

"Yes, you do. It fits you because you have similar facial features." Kaito answered.

Mixed emotions filled the room. 'Oh no.. I think I got into a risky role.. Considering Hagane is here..' Rin thought. Rin saw Rinto smiling, that smile when you know he's got an idea in his mind.

Rinto thought of this as a chance for him to figure out which of the two is the Rinta Kagamine.

"Well then, you're all dismissed. You may go home. Please take care." Kaito said and dismissed them.

While walking home...

"Hey Len... I think I'm in a tight role. Hagane might discover who is Rinta Kagamine." Rin said.

"Hmm... There are 50% chances, since Lenka also looks like me. Though, it's harder on our part since we shouldn't involve Lenka in the situation." Len sighed. "I'll do my best to protect you, Rin."

"I hope we wouldn't have a hard time in the play...", Rin finally says.
