Chapter 1
The Prince's New Life
December 25th 2013
Evening
"Its time..." Before the plan could start. I look outside my room to see if anybody was around. Next I took out a human-sized doll from under my bed and put it on my bed and covered it, to make it look like I'm sleeping. I then took out a rope from my bag and looked down and saw Elsword and a few of my other servants giving me the signal that the coast was clear. I dropped the rope down and tied it to my balcony before descending down all the way from the 10th floor to the very bottom. You can imagine how many floors the castle has if you seen it. I reached the floor and saw Elsword and my other servants bowed down to me and I bowed down to them.
"Is their any guards. Patrolling the area?" I asked him. He nodded his head.
"Yeah, their patrolling the west, north and south entrances of the castle. If we're going to get to the station. We're going to have to take the east entrance to the castle. This will lead us to the back district of Hamel. From there we can head to the station." I nodded my head and we headed to the east entrances where there was no guards watching the area. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody tried to infiltrate the castle at night. Since security was pretty low during the night. We were about to head into the back district. When I stopped Elsword and the others. I took out the robe's from my bag and worn it around me, shrouding my face. I gave the others robes so that they can conceal themselves too.
"I don't want to cause a panic, if people saw us leaving Hamel at the station." We continued on when we heard a siren coming from the castle. Crap I didn't expect it to happen so soon. I cursed at myself for not expecting this coming.
Hamel Castle. The Prince's Room
30 Minutes ago.
"Prince Seiker!" The voice of a maid was heard inside the Prince's room. There was no response. They maid knocked again and there was still no response from the Dear Prince. "Prince Seiker. I'm coming in." The maid entered the Prince's room and noticed the Prince sleeping on his bed. She approached the bedside, seeing he covered his entire body in his bed sheet. She began shaking him.
"Prince Seiker. You have an important meeting tonight. I'm sorry to wake you up, but..." She uncovered the bed sheet and saw it was human-sized doll under the cover. She was shocked and started to look around and to her conclusion she screamed.
"THE PRINCE IS MISSING!" She yelled that the whole castle could hear her. They approached the Prince room and couldn't believe their eyes. To their shocked, the prince was missing.
"Sound the alarm quick!" One of the butlers shouted. They went and sound the alarm, signaling that the Prince was missing. The whole kingdom started to hear the siren and a group of townspeople began chattering between one another on what was going on. The King then arrived and settled everyone down, as he was about to announce what was going on.
"Good People of Hamel. As you know, we have bad news on our hand. My son, Prince Seiker is missing!" Everyone gasped, hearing that their beloved Prince was missing, caused a huge panic around the people.
"The Prince is missing?! Oh no!" One of them replied.
"Our Dear Prince, what happened to him!?" Another replied. King Seiker then calmed everyone down before speaking.
"Everyone the Prince was kidnapped! I noticed this because Chung's Protector Elsword Sieghart and a few other servants are missing. Leaving me to the conclusion, that he was kidnapped by them!" The whole kingdom was shocked of this and began to curse at Elsword.
"Traitor! Off with his head!"
"Burn him!"
"That bastard only wanted to get close to Chung! So that he can use him for ransom!" They continued on with their rants, until the King silence them.
"Do not worry, good people of Hamel. We already send a search team to find our beloved prince. However, if any of you find any whereabouts about the Prince. Please let us know." They all nodded their heads and shouted.
"For our beloved Prince!" Everyone shouted.
Hamel Station
Night
We arrived at the station, while being unnoticed and headed towards to the train when one of the workers stopped us. "Tickets please" We all handed our tickets to him and entered the train. When I got in I noticed that there were some guards outside the window I was staring. I hide my face to prevent them from noticing me. Please don't look in the train... I pleaded hoping that they would not investigate the train trying to find me. Fortunately, the train was about to depart.
"Attention all passengers! The train to Velder is about to depart. Please board the train immediately. I repeat. The train to Velder is about to depart. Please board the train immediately."
Phew...Thank Lady El I was relieved that the train was departing. If we were to wait longer, I think they might have investigated the train and found me. The trip to Velder began and I looked over to Elsword and the maids and butlers of the castle that helped me escaped. I smiled them and they smiled back.
"Happy birthday, Pr-no we shouldn't use your name when we get there. *Ahem* Happy Birthday, Chung!" One of the maids replied. I smiled and closed my eyes as I fell asleep. This felt like the most happiest day of my life. The day I start my life as Chung Seiker.
December 26th 2013
Dawn(Approximately 5:00AM)
I woke up at the struck of dawn and noticed that we were already there. I heard the sound of a person signaling that we were there.
"We are now in Velder Station. Please board off if this is your destination. I repeat please board off if this is your destination and thank you for traveling with us." Everyone else woke up from that and we headed out of the train and outside to Velder. I smiled when we exited the station and saw what Velder looked like. It was different than Hamel. It was much more modern whereas Hamel looks more futuristic like.
"This is going to take a while for me to get used to Velder." I chuckled. I saw a cloaked man and approached us. When we removed his hood. I knew who he was.
"We've already arranged a living quarters for all of us. Master Chung." I looked and saw that it was one of my trusted subordinates and Elsword superior. Penensio. Like Elsword, he wears armor but has a red cape on one of his shoulder covering a bit of his body. He also had very long hair too. Penensio also arrived earlier to Velder to find a place for all of us to live. I nodded my head and picked up my wrapped cannon and luggage and we headed to our new home.
"Oh wow! This place is amazing." We finally arrived and saw that it was a two story house. It was a bit style than the ones I saw back in Hamel. Inside was a pretty spacious but not too big living room with a two couches and a table, along with a wide-screen TV. There was also a kitchen next to the living room. A bathroom was in the hallway on the middle door, on the right door was the basement and the left was a storage closet. There were 2 bedrooms on the bottom floor that could both fit a group of people. Upstairs had 3 bedrooms, that was also spacious but wasn't too big, it already had a bed and a desk already set up. As well as a window next to the desk. We checked out the backyard and saw a tool shed on the outside back as well as racks for drying clothes.
"This is amazing Penensio!" I was astonished by the house, I've never seen before. I've lived in the castle my entire life and only the saw the houses in Hamel. So of course, I'd be surprised of something like this, even though it was pretty common. Elsword wasn't surprised one bit. I could probably guess that Ruben had houses like these when he was young. I decided to take the room upstairs in the middle. Elsword took the room on the left and Penensio room was on the right. I unpacked my stuff and arranged it around my room. I then unwrapped my cannon and put it in the closet. It was a bit difficult to fit. Since it was big, but I was able to get it inside. I then looked at the clock and saw that it was 6:45Am. Wow time flies pretty fast. Then I heard the a knock on my door. I opened it and saw that it was Elsword.
"Chung, Penensio wants us to meet downstairs in the living room." I nodded my head and we headed down where we saw Penensio with some papers.
"So what is it that you want. Captain Penensio?" He handed the paper to both me and Elsword. When I looked at it closer. It was a form for applying for Velder High. I read my form and saw my name.
Chung Sieghart
"Both of you will be attending Velder High as first year, since both of you still need an education. Also since we can't expose Chung's identity as the Prince of Hamel. I put in public information. That both you and Elsword will be brothers." Penensio replied.
"Brothers eh? Well Elsword always treated me as if I was his brother. So it shouldn't be a problem." I looked over at Elsword and he nodded his head.
"Also today's your first day. So you better get ready." He handed us both the winter school uniforms and we both hurried into our rooms and got changed. My uniform was a white collared shirt with a yellow tie and black pants with the school shoes over the white collared shirt was a black jacket that I buttoned up. I finished changing up and got out of the room and at that exact time. Elsword got out wearing his uniform. He weared a the same collared shirt with the same tie but was wearing khaki pants instead of black pants he also wears the black jacket but he had a hoodie and left it unbuttoned. He also worn the same school shoes.
"So you ready?" He nodded his head, and we grabbed our school bag and we headed to the academy.
Velder High
Morning
"Oh wow this is amazing!" I looked around the whole school. It was a huge facility with a gate surrounding it. I looked with amazement as I saw the school with glittering eyes. I also saw a group of students noticing both me and Elsword. They were mostly girls and they started to blush and whispered to one another. I could overhear some of their conversation.
"Hey are they transfer student?"
"Yeah, why do you think they're wearing our school uniform. Also look at the one with blond hair he's pretty cute. You think he's single?"
"Hey the Redheads quite cute too."
"Oh my gosh! What a hottie. Especially with those parts on his hair that look like pikachu ears." I heard the chattering continued, and tilted my head on what they were talking about. I looked over to Elsword.
"Hey Els? You know what they're talking about?" Elsword nodded his head and took my hand where we headed to the faculty office of the school where we saw a teacher that noticed us.
"Oh you two must be the new transfer students." A woman with blond hair that had her hair tied up into a ponytail. She had blue eyes and a soft smile that could calm anyone down. She also seemed young for her age. She began looking through our files and began speaking them to us.
"Elsword Sieghart and Chung Sieghart. Oh you two are sibling? You two don't look alike."
"We get that a lot." I replied.
"According here. Is that your previous school was a private school for all boys. You both transfer here because of family problems. It must've been tough moving from your old school from this. Huh?" Of course, that information was false. Both me and Elsword we're home tutored and never actually gone to an actual school. So we both shook our head.
"No we were pretty lonely. Our parents decided to transfer us here because it would help us make friends easier." Elsword gave a quick explanation to the woman he gave a nod.
"Oh I forgot to introduce myself! I'm Ms. Ariel, but you can just call me Ariel. You two are both in class 1-D and also I'm the homeroom teacher for that class. Its nice to meet you two!" We both shook her hand and we followed her to class 1-D. I felt a little nervous since I've never actually went to a school but at the same time I was excited. We were at the front door and Ms. Ariel told us to stay there for a bit until she calls us up. We nodded our head and we waited outside for a bit. This is exciting!
Velder High, Class 1-D
I was sitting on my desk which was next to a window, as I looked at the snow falling down from outside. School has started again and I returned back from Hamel recently for a family trip. I looked at the clock and it said 8:05. Class was about to start in 5 minutes. I started to think back to my trip and was still thinking about that boy. I still remembered what he looked like from yesterday. He had Royal blond hair that was a bit spiky and had a bit of a ponytail. He also those gentle cerulean eyes that we're innocent. He also had those little spots on his hair that looked like pikachu ears. I felt my face turned a bit red, thinking about him again. I was the heiress to the Nasod family and the Princess of Altera. Nobody knows who I was except for one person.
"Hey Earth to Eve you there?!" I got out of my trance and noticed the person in front of me. A girl with purple hair that had her hair in a swirl. She weared the standard winter school uniform like me. Which was a white collared shirt with a yellow ribbon and a black skirt. But over it she weared a purple sweater. It was my childhood friend Aisha. She is also a mage and my protector as well. She's the one that know who I was.
"Oh sorry. I was thinking about something." I replied. She looked at me with concern.
"Hey are you alright? You've been out of it more lately." I shook my head. Although that was a complete lie. Since all I've been thinking is that boy that I met at Hamel who ran away after I said hi. Just who was that boy? I started to get lost into my thoughts when Aisha snapped me out of it.
"Hey have you heard? Two new transfer students are going to start attending the school today. Plus I heard those two are cute boys. What do you think about this Eve?" I looked at her and gave her a straightforward answer.
"I really don't care." I said bluntly. She gave me a pouty look, as if she didn't wanted to hear that.
"Man your no fun at all Eve." The door to the class opened and Ms. Ariel camed in. Everyone then sat down and she began.
"Good Morning, Class. I hope you enjoy your break. Because we have two transfer students joining us. They just transferred from a private school and will be joining us today. Well why don't you come in you two?" Two figures walked in one of them with Red-haired and the other with Blond hair... I stared at the boy with blond hair and recognize him. It was that boy from Hamel. My face began to gone a little bit red, but I shook it off. They wrote their name on the board. I read the name of the boy. Chung Sieghart. So thats his name? What a cu-wha! Snapp out of it Eve. I mentally slapped myself.
"Hi my name is Elsword Sieghart." The Redhead replied casually.
"Um...My name is Chung Sieghart. I hope we can all get along." He gave a innocent smile and their was chartered around the room. Most of them were girls.
"Eeek! He's so cute. Just look at his smile"
"Hey do you think he has a girlfriend?"
"He's adorable! Just look at his Pikachu ears." The chatterted had continued. Chung then began to scanned the room and noticed me, his face began to go red. He's turning tomato red. I wonder why? I thought about a bit as I tilted my head while looking at him. Making him even more embarrassed.
"Is something wrong Chung?" Ms. Ariel asked. He began to muttered out a few words.
"I-I-I-I-I I have to use the bathroom!" He shouted out as he dashed out of the classroom and into the hallway. I looked in confusion and Aisha started to whispered at me. She sat in front of me.
"Hey Eve! Chung was staring at you. Do you two know each other?" She asked.
"I met him at Hamel and he was like that when I first met him." I responded back. After a minute or so, Chung came back and was still a bit red.
"Um...Chung are you alright?" He nodded his head and Ms. Ariel pointed his seat. It was right next to me and soon I got death glares from the other girls except for Aisha. Who was giving me a thumbs up. Chung slowly began to walk to his chair and looked over to me with his Cerulean eyes.
"Ummm...Its nice to meet you." He said innocently, while still red. Causing me to blush a bit.
"Um...Nice to meet you too." I said back.
Thats when I met him
Alright done with the first chapter. Also I liked the point out a few things I changed from the new version thats different from the old version. That I pointed out, like the two prologue
1. In the New version. Chung lives in a house that Penensio bought for him, Elsword, and a group of Maids and Butlers that decided to helped Chung escape. In the original version Chung lived with Eve, because of the budget with money that Elsword and Chung currently have.
2. Elsword was originally a 2nd year in the original story. However, since Elsword is 15. He is a 1st year like Chung.
3. Chung uses Elsword last name. Since they couldn't revealed him being the Prince. In the original. I never actually displayed Chung's last name before he was discovered as a Prince.
4. In the New version of the story. Eve doesn't know that Chung is the Prince of Hamel. The same thing with Chung as he doesn't know that she is the Princess of Altera. The original showed Chung accidentally giving his real last name by a mistake and begged Eve to keep from a secret from him.
5. Aisha is Eve's Protector and Guardian as well as her Childhood friend. Like Elsword, whom protects Chung and is his childhood friend. She is the only one that knows her true identity. In the old story, Aisha was not Eve's protector and was a regular student with magic.
I thinks thats all I like to point out for this chapter. Next Chapter, Raven and Rena will make their appearances
Hope you enjoyed the story so far :)
