Why? Unasked questions ran through my head. Was it because of Miku? No, they shouldn't have found her yet. And who was leading it?

"How dare they!" Rin stood furiously.

We cannot fight all of them. "We must flee!" I pulled her off her throne and over to a tapestry. They will pursue. The thought froze me in my tracks.

"Len! Le-"

"Rin!" I cut her off. "Behind me is an escape route out of the city."

"What?" She drew her hand from mine, shock in her eyes.

"Take my clothes and survive." I started undressing.

"What?" She repeated.

"You'll be fine, we are twins. No one will notice." I smiled reassuringly as I handed my clothes to her, now naked.

I heard her mumble 'twins' as she undressed. We quickly redressed and I looked at her.

"Oh!" I pulled my ponytail out and handed it to her as she remembered to take her bow out. "I'm afraid I can't tie a bow." I chuckled. "Not a very good lady, am I?"

"I got it." Rin said quietly as I felt her put it in my hair. She pulled back and asked, "Is it true, about us?"

I stared into her eyes. "Did you never notice?" I asked as I heard a loud bang as the rebels tried to break in. "Time for you to go."

Then I dared to do the thing I'd always wished. I held her face, and kissed her. Her lips formed to mine as surprise clouded her eyes. How I wished we could stay like this, but I pulled back and shoved her behind the tapestry into the pathway.

I ran as fast as the accursed dress would allow, and just as I stood at the throne, the doors burst open.

"Queen Rin!" I saw a lady with red hair and eyes yell. So she was the leader. "You are hereby overthrown and sentenced to death for abusing your title!"

I walked over to the armored, tall lady, and stared her in the eyes. "Ah." The sound escaped my lips as I recognized her as the girl who got her house taken away.

Before I knew it, I was placed in chains and led outside, in front of the mass of the uprising. I held my head high as curses were thrown at me.

"Townspeople!" The woman gathered their attention. "Today, the Queen of Darkness falls!" A cheer erupted at this. She turned to me. "Do you have anything to say?" I stayed silent. "So be it."

She gripped my hair, and pulled, baring my neck. I quickly felt the edge of her sword upon it. The crowd roared, impatiently bloodthirsty. I closed my eyes just as I felt the steel bite into my throat. I hope we could be together again, Rin…in the next life.

In the crowd stood a cloaked figure, still and quiet, unlike those around them. At first glance, they would appear to be a man, but to those who looked closer, would see a lady. As she watched the death of her servant…no…twin, a single tear was shed before she quickly turned and left.
