I... so... uh... yeah this may or may not be finished (mostly likely not) but we'll see!


"Boring," you mumble. "Boring. Boring. Boring... LEN!" You call your brother to your study. It is yours and Len's 14th birthday, and you have nothing but paperwork to do. You do have a party to attend later, but for the mean time, you're bored to death.

"Yeah, Rinnie?" says Len, appearing at your side.

You glare at him. "I told you not to call me that. That's a nickname from when we were young," you remark. He shrugs, and because he's your brother, you let it slide. "I'm bored. Go get me something to do."

He pauses for a moment, contemplating what he can do. "The guards are bringing a villager at this moment; she is behind on her pays. Would you like to visit her?"

You look at your brother with the wicked smile you have become infamous for over the past year. "Lead me to her."


"Why have you not payed your monthly fees?" you demand.

The villager looks up at you with piercing red eyes. She glares at you, then looks away.

You dig your fingers into the villagers scalp and turn her face towards you. Her hair feels disgusting against your hand. You want so desperately to throw her to the side, but you are a kind princess, so you will show mercy. "I said," you say, your tone so deadly that it frightens even the guards that hold the villager's wrists. "WHY HAVE YOU NOT PAID YOUR MONTHLY FEES?" The villager still doesn't reply, and turns her head away from you again. You pull on her hair harder, enjoying the pained face she makes. "You will look at me when I speak to you, commoner. Now ANSWER MY QUESTION. Why. Are you. Behind. On. Your. Pays?" The villager turns to look at you and makes a regretful face. Good, you think. She's complying.

The sorrowful face of the villager instantly turns to rage. "I am not your servant!" she yells, spitting in your face. "I, like every other person in that village, am a human being."

You raise your hand from her hair and bring it across her face, leaving a red mark on her cheek. "I am your princess," you snarl, bringing your face close to her ear, "and you will obey me." You kick her out of the guards' grips and look over your shoulder to see the villager is wounded and bleeding. "Sh-" A familiar toll interrupts you. Chimes emanate from the bell tower, one, two, three... It continues to the ninth and final bell. "Oh, it's time for a snack," you say. You look over your shoulder again to check on the villager. "She is to be exiled," you order. "Come, Len. Let's go."


"You're being kind, Rin," your little brother says. He pours you a cup of tea and hands you a little scone.

You raise an eyebrow at him, as you take a sip of the tea. "Oh, Really? How so?"

"Two months ago, she would've been dead." He shrugs like that's what he expected you to do and looks over the balcony at the village. There are people searching for food everywhere.

"Should I have killed her?" you say sharply. You throw a scone over the balcony and watch as people scramble around it like ants. "Hmph," you mumble, "pathetic fools."

"No. I'm just happy you're softening up a little bit." You roll your eyes at him.

"Whatever. We have a party to get ready for. Let's go." Len follows you as you walk across your room and into your closet.
