Len's POV:
"Please your Highness! Just give me a little more time!" A peasant girl, on her knees, begged.
"You should have payed your taxes on time." My beautiful Queen said deadly, her blue eyes flashing at the girl's intolerance. "Boy, take her house as payment." She addressed me. Her short blonde hair framed her porcelain face. "Get her out of here."
I walked to the crying girl and pulled her to her feet. "Follow me." My deep voice echoed in the throne room.
"Please, no!" Her red eyes stared imploringly to my blue ones.
I grabbed her arm and forcibly led her out, wailing and tugging. "Open the doors!"I yelled at the door boy in the main hall. He obeyed and I threw the woman out onto the stony road. "How dare you act so impudently around Her Majesty?" I scoffed at the disgruntled human.
I turned on a booted heel and walked back inside, doors clanking shut behind my blue, tailed, regal shirt.
I gave a sigh as I walked to the Commander's office. Sometimes I wish she could be nice to everyone else. If only we weren't separated at birth I could have shared the burden with her.
"Gakupo." I addressed the purple haired man sitting behind his desk.
"Sir!" He stood and saluted.
"Send some people to evict the last guest from her house." I turned sharply and left, not waiting for a response. I found myself lost in my thoughts again.
Though Mother deemed me her inseparable servant, I'll do anything to see her smile that she showed only me, and hear her laugh she allowed me to hear. Does she even know we're twins? How could she not, we look exactly alike, down to our very hairstyles, mine was just in a low ponytail. But…she probably doesn't even notice that. I clenched my gloved fist. I suppose that's good though. I don't mind watching from the shadows.
I broke from my thoughts before a noticeable blush crept onto my face. I walked across the red carpet that adorned the throne room up to where she sat. Her cheek was resting on her fist, her eyes looking somewhere far, either bored or in deep thought.
She wore a long-sleeved dress that billowed out at her hips and arms. It was mostly black, with gold trimmings at her neckline, bottom of the dress, and end of the sleeves. She had a black bow tied in her hair, slightly askew from the middle of her head.
"Len." Her lyrical voice called.
"Yes, Queen Rin?" Did she even notice our names were similar?
"I need a vacation." My eyes widened in slight shock, but wisely stopped my mouth from saying that queens don't get vacations when they have a country to run. "It's getting drab in here. Plan one immediately, I want to leave tomorrow." She finished.
"Yes, Highness." I bowed, then left to make preparations.
"Where are we going?" Rin's voice echoed from within the black carriage.
"Since it was on such short notice…" I whipped the reigns slightly when one of the two black horses tried to slow from a *trot. "I'm afraid I could only plan a trip into town." I could practically hear her scowl. "where I thought Her Majesty would like to do some shopping."
"Shopping? Yes, that does sound fun." She said on a lighter tone, bringing a smile to my lips.
I directed the horses to the main part of town, where there would be stores with many a trinket Rin would covet. I parked it next to a store that sold ribbons, knowing she would want to visit it first.
I jumped to the ground, holding my sword so it wouldn't trip me up, and walked over to the carriage door. As I opened the door, bowing as Rin got out regally, many people stared and gave a, "Good day, Highness." Through fake smiles and scurried away, as if Rin held the plague. I couldn't blame them and would probably do the same…if not for this feeling.
I knew it was love, the thing that would make you do anything for someone. Yet I could never admit this to myself, to utter the word, for she was me sister, the Queen.
"Boy." She called me.
"Yes, Majesty?" Her eyes seemed to swallow me, they were sparkling in such delight. "What do you think?" She held out a gloved hand, and upon her finger was a ring in the shape of an eighth note. When did we get in the store? I wondered.
"It's beautiful." I blushed as it's sparkle reminded me of her.
"I'll take it!" She declared, then started walking out. I quickly paid for it, then caught up as she stated, "I'm thirsty."
"There's a restaurant just ahead with a nice patio. I hear their tea is quite good." I informed her.
"Ok."
We walked until we reached the aforementioned place. As soon as we appeared at the open gated patio, a red headed, bespectacled boy showed us to our seats and quickly took Rin's order.
I know chapter one stops off abruptly, but expect more action in the next chapter. Please no flames, I know theres probably stuff I need to fix, but I'm currently switching off between two other stories, possibly three, so I don't have time to edit and make another draft .
Hope you enjoyed and keep an eye out for my next chapter, which will be up sometime next week because I'm going to be too busy preparing for my Con trip to write a full chapter.
