"I best be going then." He smiles as he turns away from us.

"Kaito!" I try reach for him.

But Len got a hold of me before I could even leave his side. There was something about Len's eyes as he stared into mine, it's as if he was letting me know that if I left him, that would mean betraying him. My own brother. That was the last thing I wanted.

I turn toward the balcony window, but it was too late. The blue-haired prince was gone.

"Never thought that someone like Kaito could fall in love," He says. "He was always fooling around with other girls but something changed him that day when he met you. That's when I knew he was-"

"Why?" I ask him with an angry voice building up. "Why would you say such a cruel thing to him when you knew all along?"

"What kind of friend are you!" I was expecting Len to get angry with me for yelling at him but he didn't even flinch, he just stared at me with no emotion at all. A painful feeling in my heart began to emerge.

"Len, I'm-"

"Kaito was never my friend." Len turns his head away as if it was hard for him to say. "The only reason he's always coming here is because he thinks my father is going to snap like the others, and when that moment comes, he won't hesitate to take the Yellow throne for himself."

No, That's not true! Kaito, he would never do something like that. He can't be the same as Miku, impossible! He even told me how he treated you like a real friend, he has always wanted to be your friend.

"He doesn't care what happens to me," He pauses. "I don't think he'll even hesitate to kill me if necessary. After all, I am the only heir to the throne-"

Suddenly, Len and I faced each other with grave expressions on our faces. Len isn't the only heir for the throne anymore.

I am too.

The king was away as per usual but now that I think about it, I've never once seen the king in person. Only the painted portraits of the king himself were the only references I could find of his appearance. Some of the paintings were sort of different from each other like there were certain inconsistencies but there were details that were always the same. His cold, piercing blue eyes that always looked so stern and harsh, his neatly-brushed, bleached-colored hair and the only one thing that amazes me is that the king never smiled in all of his paintings. Was this man really my father?

"See something interesting?" I hear Len's voice from upstairs.

"It's just that these paintings of the king," I ask him. "Are these really him?"

Len approaches me as he examines the paintings that were displayed in front of us.

"Pretty much." He replies nonchalantly. "Why do you ask?"

"No, nothing important." I said.

"Are you upset?" He asks me. "That someone cruel and cold like him is actually your father?"

Len could read me so easily. I guess this is one of the perks and curses of having a twin.

"Is he really that bad?" I asked with a worried tone in my voice.

"Well, one, he has a temper plus, he punched me so, yeah, I guess you could say that." He answered.

How awful, I still remember that night.

"But, he's our father." He continues. "Despite all the things he's done, I could never hate him because he was merciful enough to let us live at all."

"I mean, that's how I think." he smiles as Len walks past me heading straight for the library beyond.

Suddenly the main entrance doors open, and there emerged Teto and drunken Miss Haku being carried by two of the guards inside.

I couldn't help but smile at the state of Miss Haku but Teto didn't seem amused at it at all.

"Remind me never to go to parties with Miss Haku ever again." She sighs as if she's made the worst mistake of her life.

"Oh, that's right!" Teto said as she reached her pockets. "Earlier at the party, someone gave this to me to give to you."

It was a letter.

"Who gave you this?" I asked her as I held the envelope.

"I'm really not sure." She replied. "I didn't actually get to see the person's face."

I open the letter:

R,

Meet me at the town square at midnight.

-K

'K'? Well, there's only one person that I would know whose name starts with the letter 'K.'

"Well?" Teto began shaking my arm for an answer. "What's it say?"

If I told Teto that a prince was meeting me tonight, she would really freak out. More than that, she would not allow me to go.

I smiled at her.

"It's nothing," I said as I crumpled the paper and slid it into my pocket. "Just a letter from a friend."

She seemed like she didn't believe me since she was pouting with narrowed eyes locked on mine, hoping that I would tell her the truth but she later sighs and forgets the matter. Teto quietly walks away into the kitchen.

Should I go?

"I don't think he'll even hesitate to kill me if necessary."

Len's words begin to echo in my head but at the same time, I was remembering the gentle smile of Kaito. If he found out that I was also on of the heirs to the throne, would he really kill me? I clench both my hands. I was scared. I don't want to be killed, not by him. But I want to see him so badly.

"Rin?" a familiar voice brings me back to reality. It was Len's. For some odd reason, I found myself inside the library. I was probably lost in thought, like always.

"What's wrong?" He asks me.

"Are you absolutely sure that Kaito's up to no good as you said earlier?" I ask him with my eyes locked into his.

"Positive." He answered.

I wasn't sure if he was just saying these things because he witnessed Miku, the love of his life confess to Kaito days before. Miku too was also one of these supervisors, she told me this herself. But he probably hasn't realized this yet and if I tell him, he'd grow more upset.

"If you were to meet Kaito today, what would you do?" I asked him.

A dark smiled emerges from his lips.

"I would kill him before he kills me."

He said this as if it were nothing and it frightened me. I open my mouth about to say that he was mad and crazy but he spoke to soon.

"If I told you to kill him for me, would you do it?" He asked with dark eyes.

There was something about Len, even from the first day I met him. Even though his features appeared angelic, inside him was truly darker and cruel. It was strange, I hated him yet at the same time I loved him. Always loved him. But if I was going to save him, there was only one thing to do.

"Yes." I said. "Anything for you, brother."

Because I am just your servant after all.
