Disclaimer: Wahhhhh, I hate my Co-Curriculum activities! DX

Malin: Not me who said it *Raises her hands and walks away* (I get the end section today XD)

Garry: What's wrong, Yukki? You don't usually throw tantrums like that...

Yukki: No, nothing's wrong. BESIDES THE FACT THAT I HATE CO-CURRICULUM ACTIVITIES!

Riliane: Ugh shut up, you're disturbing the silence

Yukki: No, you shut up. I can make you disappear or embarrass yourself if I want to, I'm the one writing the story here.

Ib: Calm down Yukki, your starting to scare me *Cowers in fear*

Yukki: Oh sorry 'bout that, anyway I should start letting you read the story. So, Kouri owns her Ib and Mothy/Akuno-P owns his evil sub series. I only own the plot and this story.

Malin: And one more thing. Elluka and Gumillia are very...OOC...because we don't know their true characters as they only appear in the novels and we both don't have any of the novels. Neither can we read them. So pardon the OOC-ness.

Chapter 4 - Riliane grants a wish

When they arrived, Allen warned the Princess. "Be careful of your steps, the floor is uneven as no one visits this place oft-" As he said it, Princess Riliane accidentally missed a step only to fall back into Allen's arms, "Are you okay Princess? Geez, right when I said it too." With that he carefully helped the princess onto her feet.

"Thank you Allen. I shall be more careful from now on." She said. "We're arriving soon right?"

"Yes. In fact, we're already here," he announced as he made his way into the secluded room and broke the eerie silence that was starting to form.

Garry looked up from staring at the ground at the sudden voice of someone. "Is someone there?" He asked.

The princess walked forward and stepped into the light, revealing herself. "I am Princess Riliane Lucifen D' Autriche. Kneel down before me you fools!" She commanded.

Garry immediately complied. "Ib, do what I'm doing. Now." He said sternly.

"Okay," she whispered as she followed the actions of her companion.

Riliane smiled smugly at the sight of two of them. "Now then, weird people who came from nowhere tell me, how did you get here and why?" She demanded.

"Uh...we were looking for a way to go home together but we ended up here." Garry replied.

"Is that so?" She asked. "Little girl, tell me if what this seaweed haired friend of yours say is true."

"It's true Miss. I want to go home because I want to see my mom and dad" Ib lowered her head as she answered truthfully.

Riliane felt pity at the sight of the two of them, the girl especially, looking so lost and lonely and reminded Riliane of her when she was younger.

"Whe- Where's Alexiel?" Riliane was breathless due to her high fever and had to stay in bed but she knew that her brother should have burst into the room ages ago. She felt lonely as there were only maids there to attend to her and they did not comfort her or relieve the loneliness in her heart, only Alexiel had the ability to do that and he wasn't here.

"Alexiel is gone, hon. He won't be back in a long time..." one of the maids revealed the truth to her that Alexiel would be adopted by one of the blacksmiths today and won't return.

"Wha-" she couldn't believe her ears. The brother that loved her so much that would be willing to dirty or injure himself for her sake was gone! Since that day on, no one cared about her and left her alone to play by herself and to relieve the loneliness in her heart.

No one cared about Riliane and she was often shoved aside. Until she became the ruler of the kingdom of course. "Fine...I'll let the two of you live until you find your way back home. But you! The seaweed haired guy! You'll be charged to work for me until you find your way back home because you attacked several of my guards for practically nothing!"

"Wh-what?!" Garry exclaimed, his eyes were wide open with shock. "Um...wh-what kind of work may I ask?"

"You shall clean the toilets of the castle. And make sure it's sparkly clean, or I will convict you to death." She threatened, her smile clearly smug and enjoying the look of despair on his face.

"Garry..." Ib did not dare defy the words of the princess but she did not want to see Garry cleaning the toilets either. So she plucked up her courage and asked," Ah um... C-Can you please give Garry a slightly better punishment? I don't want to see my only friend suffer..."

"No!" Riliane shouted. "Starting tomorrow Allen, you will lead him to the toilets and let him clean them. The girl may follow if she wishes but make sure she doesn't help, and you better not help either. I trust you are strong enough to handle the two of them, they look so weak and fragile." She ordered. "I wish to go back now."

"Yes Princess," With that he led her towards the stairs. He shot an apologetic look towards the both of them before he followed his princess back to the castle.

As the two of them left, Garry caught the apologetic look and smiled at him. "The Princess sure is scary huh?" He asked Ib, slightly shuddering at the thought. "But they look so alike...it's almost as if...they are twins or something..."

"I know what you mean..." Was the reply. She had seen stuff like this before where there were people in the world would look alike but never thought that she would have the chance to see it, especially not in a situation like this.

As Riliane was walking back with Allen she gave him new orders. "Allen, I want you to tell Elluka and whatever-her-name-is to help the prisoners find their way home. And I would also like to know if Prince Kyle will be coming for dinner tonight."

"Alright princess, whatever you say," Allen smiled at the thought that Riliane had let them off with just a simple punishment. Usually she would not be so forgiving, she would either ignore their pleas or not even listen their excuses or reasons and just dispose of them. He was starting to get suspicious as to whether she was getting to be softer. "Prince Kyle would be visiting and staying for dinner tonight. He will be arriving in an hour."

Riliane smiled widely at the thought of her crush and fiancé coming over. "Oh is that so? Then I'll have to get dressed right now!" And with that, she ran off to her chamber, leaving Allen behind to accomplish her orders.

In her chamber, a few maids were already waiting and had prepared her a new dress and some jewelry for her.

Few minutes later, she received news of Prince Kyle's arrival and went to greet him formally. "Hello Prince Kyle, thank you for making the trip to come to our kingdom from all the way at Marlon. Dinner shall be served soon in a few minutes time."

Prince Kyle nodded and smiled his usual charming smile at her. "I thank you for inviting me over for dinner as you usually do. And I'm happy to see you again, Princess Riliane. How are you holding up with ruling the Kingdom?" He asked, feigning concern for his mind was clearly somewhere else.

"Oh, it's been good." She replied, her own mind was also somewhere else, her heart beating fast and her face totally flushed red. After the dinner, Prince Kyle left but Riliane was still in a good mood, dancing around happily in her bedroom. "Allen! Kyle said he was happy to see me!"

"Good for you Princess," Allen replied. He replied with a good stature as he did not want to ruin her happiness. She was scary when she was angry and he knew that Prince Kyle did not mean what he had said as his mind was somewhere else. "Mister Garry has completed his task for today, and has returned to his cell," He had a hint of hesitation in his voice which was obvious and it was probably because he did not dare ask anything of the Princess of fear of being punished.

"Hm?" she stopped dancing around when she noticed the random report that came out of nowhere and the hesitation in Allen's voice. "What is it Allen? Is something wrong? Did any of the prisoners hurt you?!" She was really angry by now, ready to stomp her way to the dungeon and personally deal with them.

"No, no. Don't worry they did not do anything to me so calm down. I was just wondering um... if you could give them a small room for them since they are going to be released. Then it wouldn't be so troublesome for me and for them. They can even help Miss Elluka find a way to get home," Allen told Riliane what he was thinking about in case she did anything rash.

Riliane raised a brow. "That? Coming from you?" She said. "You don't usually suggest things like this. What did they do to you Allen?" She was even angrier now if that was even possible. "Did they threaten you?"

"I assure you my dear Princess, they did not threaten me or harm me in any form or manner. I just felt pity for them, especially Miss Ib as she somehow reminds me of..." Allen hesitated once more as he was not sure whether he should continue and mention about their past, which was clear to him that Riliane does not remember a single thing. He was nevertheless afraid that she would get angry and start having a temper.

"Reminds you of who Allen?" Riliane asked but decided to not wait for his answer. "Whatever. Since you think they're so pitiful, go ahead and prepare them a room of your choice, as long as it's reasonable. You may want to go ahead and prepare some decent food for them as well."

His eyes shined as he heard that, they could finally be led out of prison! "Thank you Princess! You really are the best!" with that, he gave her a smile and went off to prepare a room for the new arrivals.
