Hello everyone this chapter will be a little bit short but the next chapter will be finished soon so please forgive me. So here it is Chapter 2!

Chapter 2

A week has passed since the suitor has left the kingdom; everything is still normal apart from the fact that war is still . Many soldiers died which caused so much pain in Hikari's chest which woke her up. She doesn't like killing people but she likes fight and competitions. She knows the reason why she was forced to marry a prince, marriage is the sign of alliance with the other kingdom. But even though they've made alliance, there are still many enemies in other countries. Hikari is getting anxious, she wants the chaos to end but what can she do? Many things are coming in her head and she feeling dizzy.

Then a knock was heard in her door and opened seeing her personal maid, Akira. "My lady it's time to clean yourself, breakfast will be ready in an hour." Akira started while walking towards Hikari's closet. "Okay then I shall take a bath now, and also please Akira you can just call me Hikari." Hikari happily said, heading towards the bathroom.

Akira has been Hikari's maid since she was little and she's 5 years older. Her mother is also a maid in the palace but whenever her mother's busy, she will be in-charge of Hikari's safety and since then she became close with her that Hikari will always consult her for advice or just hear what's been going on her head. She also knows the noble family's secret, she was amazed when she heard it, but was curious about why can't they show it to anyone? Well she didn't let it bother her.

Then when Akira was brushing Hikari's long silky hair, Hikari asked, "Why won't the war just end?" Akira was confused why she asked that question but replied, "Well some people wants to be the greatest in the world, wants to be noticed by everyone that he can conquer all the land or just wants the riches in this world and since they think that way, they think that fighting over lands and territories, and gaining more power is the best way for them to be acknowledge and be feared by the people without knowing how many men have been sacrificed just for their idiotic dreams. Since angels exist and so does demons and as you already know my lady, demons like to dwell in human's mind so if they win the human's favor especially a ruler, they can make that controlled person do whatever they want."

Hikari understood what Akira said; she got angry, "Because of those demonic rulers, innocent people have died, many families grieved for the death of their son, father or both. Many homes and villages were destroyed trying to show threat to their enemy, caused fear in people's hearts. They're so cruel."

Akira looked at Hikari's sad expression that's ready to cry any minute now, she hugged Hikari and whispered in her ear: "It's okay my lady, I have a feeling that it will be over soon. You might be the one to finish this, just stick with your goals with determination and you will get the results you wanted but it will not be easy so do your best."

Hikari was glad to hear those words, she calmed down and said: "Thank you Akira, you always know how to make me feel better."

"You're welcome my lady, now it's time for breakfast" Akira said with a warm smile in her face. They both arrived in the dining hall, seeing her parents and brother smile at her and welcomed: "Good morning Hikari." "Good morning" she replied then sat down.

Then her father started: "So, I have something important to discuss with you my children." Both Hikari and Jiro were curious as to what is it. "Well your mother and I have been thinking that you're both old enough to handle in commanding the army and both of you are great at making strategies that you always beat me when it comes to games that really needs tactful moves. So we would like both of you to help me with meetings concerning strategies on how to successfully infiltrate and conquer the enemies' territory."

Hikari was surprised what his father said and then replied: "Am I going to lead an army that will fight in the battlefield or spy on the enemy knowing that one mistake they're gonna die?"

"Why of course my dear." The queen replied.

"But can they just be spared and I take all the battles myself or can I just make peace with the opposing enemy by talking things through? I'm sure I can convince them, I just don't want to see people fighting to the death just to satisfy their ruler's selfish commands and I know you're against war since we're all angels who want peace for the world." Hikari nearly shouted at her parents who looked worried and sad.

Her father tried to calm her saying: "We feel the pain you feel in your heart; it's just that in this world, no human hasn't experience pain and suffering in this world that always has challenges ready for you. We're here to see how they will overcome all of the obstacles that had been laid out and if they accomplished it. We came to this world to observe them carefully and just go along with the flow. But, you don't need to accept or reject my offer yet. We will give you time to decide it, so think it over."

Hikari just nodded and replied, "Okay father. Now how about we go back to eating breakfast?"

Jiro looked at them, feeling left out again. He sighed, is he ghost there not being noticed by anyone? Then said said with a boring voice: "Ahhh… Don't mind me I'm just a ghost who's here just to eat and listen to another one of your dramas. Am I your judge that will criticize you after the performance? God! Want to know your score? You know you all could just retire and just perform in some opera house somewhere."

Everyone just laughed at Jiro. "You know you may be right about that. We can all become famous with just that." Hikari said while laughing.

"Okay that's enough let's finish eating" her mother interfered their conversation.

They finished eating quietly, but Hikari is still troubled over the conversation earlier. She was afraid of being responsible for the death of hundreds of men just because of a mistake or a miscalculation. She knows that this not what she wants yet and it's still shocking for her. She just wants to get out of this for just to clear her mind. Then a thought came out of her mind, but it will not be good for her parents, but to make the right decision she needs it.

The night came quickly; she prepared everything she needs, her clothes, rope and money. She left a letter in her desk and then puts on her mask that can change the appearance of the person using it according to what she/he wants. Her appearance changed and looked exactly like Akira. Short black hair, Brown eyes and a mole near her left eye.

Then she jumped from her window and manages to land perfectly. She took another glance at the palace and whispered softly: "Sorry mother, father, everyone." And left.

In the next chapter she will meet him, you already know who that will be. Please look forward to it

This chapter was a little bit rushed so it was short I lost motivation halfway and I was arguing with myself about how to use don't and doesn't properly. There might be some mistakes again, sorry.

Anyway I hope you liked it and please review!
