I felt nothing but guilt for Miku and sadness for Len, realizing that they were both turned down at the same time. I held my chest tightly, feeling my heart race faster than I ever could imagine it could. Miku loved Kaito for so long, if it weren't for me meeting Kaito in the first place, would Kaito have told her a different answer? I can't help but feel at fault.

I sprint towards my room, shutting the door in the process as I collided with my bed. I'm such an idiot. Why did I have to exist? Whenever there's something going on, I'm always getting in the middle of it. I don't even belong here. This was a mistake. I shouldn't have taken the job at all.

It me a while to realize that I was slowly falling to a slumber until I woke up, observing the darkness outside my window. Damn, I slept in again. But it was strange that Teto didn't even try to wake me up this time, I didn't feel like working today. As several minutes passed, the air in my room suddenly turned damp and hot to the point that I couldn't even breathe anymore. I had to go outside. I couldn't take being cooped up in such a small place.

As I stood up, I quickly stripped down my uniform and wore my usual getup as I faced myself in the mirror. The moment I tied my hair, I began to realize something. My ponytail was the whole reason why I got into this mess in the first place. I could only frown at myself.

When I exited my room, I slowly closed it carefully, hoping that Teto wouldn't hear me trying to escape. But as soon I was just inches away from the door to the outside world, I heard a familiar voice speak to me.

"Where are you off to?" It said. I turned back to see Len with his usual cold face. I could only smile at him.

"Outside." I answered. "I wanted to get some fresh air, care to tag along?"

I probably shouldn't have said that since Len's eyes completely shrunk in surprise as I invited him. Not to mention that he was clearly heartbroken ever since this morning when he heard Miku's confession to Kaito.

"Sure." He replied nonchalantly. "I don't feel sleepy anyway."

My eyes twinkled with excitement and relief. That's when I jolted up and pulled Len's hand as I pushed the door with the other as we ran to the cold dark night outside.

"Good choice." I said to him with a smile.

His face went blank for a moment, maybe because of my sudden will to instantly run off but he finally gives in when he smiles lightly back at me. He smiled. I made him smile.

Then suddenly Len stopped with my hand still locked with his.

"What's wrong?" I said, looking at him with a puzzled expression in my face.

"Where to?" He said as he lets go of my hand. "And let's stop running, it's making me dizzy."/p
I grinned.

"To my secret place." I said.

"You mean the place with the flower?" He asked.

"Right you are." I answered him as I walked towards the garden's path as Len followed me.

"I haven't seen you since this morning." Len spoke. "Did you go somewhere?"

Nope, I was sleeping the whole time. He would totally be pissed if I said that.

"I didn't feel too well." I said. "I was in my room the whole time, sorry."

Well, it was kind of true. If you count guilt as a sickness.

Len just nodded.

"Can you tell me more about the four kingdoms."

"Why?" He responds in surprise.

"Just curious." Ever since I heard Miku say something about supervising, it got me thinking quite a lot.

"Fine." He lets out a sigh. "It's probably going to be long so don't you dare complain."

I nodded with anticipation.

Len's story started off with the four kingdoms whose relationships with each other were at peace once but the old king of the kingdom of Yellow, whom was Len's great-grandfather, was corrupt. Even its citizens had this trait eventually their economy got worse, schools were destroyed, more people were put into jail due to stealing and low on resources. The king sought out a plan to invade the kingdom of Red but instantly failed. The king was hanged in public at the same day the new king was crowned. Still the kingdoms were still at peace, thinking that it was only the king's selfish wish.

However, the economy was still dropping to the point that they needed to steal resources, they wanted the kingdom of Green. At first, they would secretly deliver produce from the Kingdom of Green by stealing. It was easy and they kept doing it until they were found out. The thieves were tortured to death and the king's death was caused by a bullet to the head. Finally, the remaining kingdoms: Red, Green and Blue decided to became allies and when a new king was crowned, they thought of a plan to supervise. Because no one knows when Yellow will snap again. Until to this day.

But Len doesn't know that Miku was one of the supervisors. Only I have that knowledge.

Finally, we made it to the garden. I opened the gate as I walked inside. It was still the same as always, dead flowers everywhere. But as I approached the center of the flowerbed to see the newborn flower once again, it was gone.

"I bet it died as well." Len said as he reached me. "It looked so vulnerable, it wouldn't stand a chance."

"Like the kingdom of Yellow?" I said bluntly.

Len's reaction was unreadable.

"You're probably right." He scoffed. "There might be no Yellow anymore. They could invade us at any moment without mercy."

"Then we'll run away." I said to him. "So far that they won't be able to reach us.

"Only the two of us?" He asks with a raised brow.

I felt my cheeks burn. What was I saying? I'd be weird for only a maid and his prince to run away together.

"Well, Teto could join us-"

"No, you're right." He cuts me off. "It must only be the two of us. For sure they won't catch us, at least both of us anyway."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"We look alike." Len answered. "If one gets caught, they still lose because they didn't catch the other one."

I could only smile at his answer knowing that he felt that I was sort of a part of him since we looked identical.

"Where would we live?" I asked playfully as I sit down next to the old tree.

He looked up as if he was thinking about it carefully.

"The woods." He responds as he sat next to me. "It's much safer there."

"How safe?" I asked.

"It's big." He replied. "It would take them years to find us there."

I laughed. But there was something I noticed about Len, he would always say them and not the allied kingdoms instead. Does he mean that anyone but us were the enemies? The people of the Yellow Kingdom, the soldiers, the king and even Teto?

"Rin" He looks at me.

"Yeah?"

"Remember when you said that you had a brother?" He continued.

"Yes." I answered.

My brother whom I was separated from since we were children. The brother that I thought was dead. My brother whom I loved so much.

"You see, I also had a sibling." He said, looking at me with seriousness in his eyes. "A twin sister actually."

Like me but I had no idea that Len even had a sister.

"We were separated by our own parents like yours." He continued. "I just want to ask you this one thing."

There is no possible way that two strangers can look alike, too alike and have the same back story. Unless.

"How is mother?" He asked with a sad smile.

And it hit me, why did it take this long for me to find out?

My brother was just sitting right beside me.
