Impersonating a Princess, Not My Forte
"You want me to what?" My tone is disbelieving as I speak with Najenda. "You have to kill a young queen that has been murdering her people recently, then infiltrate the capitol. If you can, kill the prime minister." My jaw is dropped, "say what now?" This has to be a prank or something.
"Did Chelsea put you up to this? I promise I'll never spike her food with hot sauce again." I try to negotiate. "You did that?!" She basically screams at me and I flinch. "No, she did not. I am serious, if you do this, this will be a great improvement for the revolutionary army." I sigh and put my hands on my face, "ya know this could be suicide for me right?" I reply.
"That's why I chose you," I can feel her smirking. "Don't worry, Lubbock and Chelsea will be disguised as your personal guards." I smirk and stand up. "Let's get this show on the road then." I accept the mission. 'I'll have to do this carefully, if I make a mistake, I die or mess up the plot. What a drag. My main mission is to kill that queen.' I think to myself.
"Hey, hold old is the hag anyway?" The thought struck me as strange, young? "She's about the emperor's age." My face becomes filled with disbelief, I dunno the age of the kid but from the sound of his voice he sounded pretty young. "And this girl has been killing citizens for no reason?"
"Yes, mostly girls but also any boy that has broken up with her." I sigh, "so the crazy jealous type eh?" Shaking my head, I walk out the room. "I'll be waiting in the front when they're ready."
Turns out, I have to wear makeup. I'm playing as her sister, a princess. Great. -_- I hate makeup. Thankfully Chelsea will only put it on after the assassination. We're following the carriage the girl is in. I walk out in front of it and stop, bringing fake tears to my eyes. "Who are you?" A guard asks.
"P-Please... I'm l-lost and I don't kn-know where I am...please help me." I cry, wiping tears from my eyes. "What's the hold up?!" A squeaky voice shouts from the carriage box and I cringe. "There seems to be a lost child, my queen." The guard that asked me the question replied. "Bring her here!" She orders and I feel disgusted already, a brat.
The guard takes my hand, I feel him pulling up his mask to smile at me. "You! Why is your mask down?!" The girl shouts at him. "I'm only making her feel better my queen." He answers. I feel something wet on my face, blood. The girl had stabbed him with a sword. "Your face is not allowed to be in my presence, peasant."
I grit my teeth, she is so dead now. I feel her grab my hand and pull me into the carriage, closing the door. "Hmm, I'll take you to the capitol and let them find your parents I suppose. Since you aren't a part of my people." I hear silence outside, the job must be done. "Thank you so much!" I shout with a smile and hug her.
"Get off of-!" She stops, feeling my hand in her throat. "Don't be so cruel to your people next time, bitch." I say in her ear and pull away, letting the blood pour out her wound. "Lubba! Chelsea! Y'all ready?!" I shout and the door opens, "yes your majesty." I laugh at Lubba's joke and feel Chelsea enters the carriage.
"I've never tried to do this to another person. I'm not sure if it will work." She tells me and gets to work. After squirming and annoying orders later, I'm done. "You'd think I was giving her a torture session with how she was acting." I hear Chelsea comment but I ignore her. "And we're off!" I say with a smile, Lubba had to do clean up so nothing was expected.
We arrive at the palace, I'll call it that. I tense but loosen up quickly, 'never seem nervous.' I repeat in my head and pull on my accessories. I had to practice staring at people's faces quicker, I can't be blind on this mission. I used a purple eyed contact lenses for this mission.
I get out, Lubbock taking my hand and helping as if I were the Queen's sister. I follow them into the court of the emperor. "You're the queen? You look similar but you aren't her." The emperor questions and observes. I curtsy, "no I do apologize but I'm afraid my sister couldn't make it. She had fallen ill and requested me to go in her place as she headed back to our home."
I feel his gaze on me, as well as the minister's. "Alright, its a pleasure to have you here. I hope you enjoy your stay! Would you like me to show you around?" I am not surprised at his enthusiasm, he has no idea what is going on around him. "Please, if it doesn't collide with your schedule, I'm sure you're very busy."
The boy laughs, "not at all. I have time! Let's go!" He grabs my hand and pulls me down the hall. After we're finished, I'm smiling but tired. This kid isn't so bad. 'You're barely taller than him.' I feel my eye twitch at the thought. He has brought me all over the palace, without a pause. He made me laugh and has shown me everything.
"Oh! Here's the dining room! We'll be having dinner in here!" I smile and nod. "I heard your sister has a beautiful voice, I was looking forward to hearing it. Do you sing as well?" I cringe slightly, singing.... I haven't done that in awhile. "I...can try I guess, I'm probably not as good as her though." He laughs and bounces excitedly, "then sing!"
Gee, a little pushy much? I already dug my own grave this time. I pull away from him, "um, how about we wait until I can have an instrument?" I feel his emotions deflate. "Alright I guess..." Then he perks up again, "how about I show you to the music room?" I sigh inwardly but nod excitedly outside. "Alright, that sounds great."
He literally drags me to the room. 'Maybe I should've said I was tired....' I sit in front of a piano now. 'No cursing. I won't curse in front of him....what song do I know that fits this era and doesn't curse? Gah! I don't know any...wait!' I start to play, feeling nervous. Your try being in enemy lines and singing a song to the leader without seeming nervous. Of course I'm nervous!
"Hello, hello
Good day, good morning
Goodbye goodbye to Mr. Lonely
I feel, I feel
A little less stressed
No more, no more
Dumb boys to deal with
I'm on my own, feel like a new chick
I'm finally...
Over this mess
I don't need no one to depend on
I can find my own inspiration
I can do....whatever I want to, whenever I want to
(x2)
Never ever ever, will I need someone
Never ever do I rely on one
Cause I'm all grown
And I'm okay on my own
I don't need you
I'm good, I'm good with or without you
You won't see tears, won't need a tissue
Cause I'll be fine
And this is my time
I'm looking in every direction
Just hoping for Mr. Perfection
But I won't wait in line-."
I stop, "what is it?" I ask Makoto, he has curious emotions. "So you want love like Esdeath?" I feel my face heat up, "n-no! N-Nothing like that, it was just a song." I explain, I am so embarrassed. He laughs, "okay!" This kid...I tell you.... "Its time for dinner, sir and miss." I feel him grab my hand and pull me out the room.
'Maybe this won't be so hard but I still can't kill the minister! It'll ruin the plot!' I don't have much more time to think as we enter the dining room. 'Backup my ass Najenda. They're not here.' I think to myself when I don't feel their heartbeats.
I sit down to dinner and make sure I'm closer to Makoto, I don't think I'd be able to stop myself from killing the man that's son killed Lubba. I sit down quietly, keeping my eyes on the table as the food is served. "So how are you liking the palace Lady Kisa?" Even his voice makes me want to kill him.
"Its very beautiful, thank you for asking." I reply with a smile. I push the killer intent out of my body, can't focus on killing right now or I'll be killed. "Wonderful! You won't mind staying a few more nights then? I'd like for you to sing to me more often!" I tense at Makoto's request, coming up with a quick excuse.
"I can't stay too long, my sister would be horribly worried." I feel Honest get a devious feel to him, "are you rejecting a direct offer from the emperor?" I frown, "no sir....I accept your invitation." I fix my answer and pretend to look down at the table once again. "That's great! I'm so happy you changed your mind!"
Later that night, I'm in my guest room with Lubbock and Chelsea still in disguise. "Where have you two been?!" I whisper yell. "We left to gather information. We have to do this for awhile so if the mission fails we still have the upper hand. Don't pretend you weren't enjoying yourself with the emperor." Chelsea teases and I feel a blush come to my face.
"Sh-Shut up! It wasn't like that!" I reply in embarrassment. "Seemed that way to me," Lubba's voice is cold to me as he leaves the room. "What's his problem?" I ask and Chelsea turns to leave as well, "you'll have to figure that out." I sigh and lay down as she leaves.
A few days have passed, this is taking too long and Makoto keeps having me by his side so I don't have the chance at all. I sit in my room, my night gown on. I have to stay in royal clothing at all times. I hear a knock on the door, not checking if its Chelsea or Lubbock, I tell them to enter.
I bolt up when I hear Makoto's voice. "We've gotten word that your sister was killed before she reached home, I'm sorry Kisa." I flinch and pretend to start to cry. "Sh-She's dead?" I ask and cover my face with my hands. "I'm sorry Kisa," I feel him walk over to me and hug me.
"Sh-She wouldn't want me to be crying " I fake sniffle. "She'd want me t-to move on," I cry. I feel him rub my back comfortingly, "its okay. You could always stay here." I cringe inwardly, "but my people-." He stops me, "I could send some of my generals to protect and rule over them." I really don't want that.
"Thank you but...I can't, it would kill me inside if something went wrong." I wipe my tears away. "Please don't go..." He hugs me tighter, 'what is he doing...?' I wonder quietly, this isn't supposed to happen. "Its so lonely with just me and Honest, I think...I want love as well." I make the mistake of looking at him and feel him kiss me.
'What the fuck?! Mayday mayday mayday! All things going downhill now!!' I panic in my head and finally process what he's doing after a moment, pulling away quickly. "N-Nani?" I question, really shocked. "Please don't go Kisa." I feel my face red and I nod, wanting to get him out off the room. "Thank you so much Kisa," he hugs me quickly and leaves after pecking my lips again.
'Sure I'm short but how old is this kid?! I don't even know his age!! Is he a short pedophile or.....what do you call people who like older people?! I don't care! He has to be something like that unless I actually look close to his age, I have to get out of here soon!' My panic level is high and I hear someone else enter my room.
"What is it Chelsea?" I ask quietly. "We have to go tonight, make sure to leave your window open so it looks like you're kidnapped. Boss sent a message, this is taking too long." I nod and she leaves. 'I have never been so happy to know Chelsea, I may not like her but she saved my sorry butt this time.'
A thought strikes me, 'why did I....blush?'
End of Chapter~
I can't believe I just did that. To explain to you all....I really can't.
Reaper- Wisp is a little shorter than Lubbock and a little taller than Makoto
I could've said that. -_- Since we don't know the age of anyone, I can't really tell y'all their ages and I can only make a rough guess. For now, Lubba is 17-18, Makoto is 13-14 and Wisp is 15-16 she also looks younger than she is.....facially.
Reaper- Two year gaps....I can see that.
Yup!
Lisp/ Wubba- I'm too lazy! ;-;
Wisp+Wave- Still 1
Wasumi/Tisp- I find that ship name cute but not really the actual ship...0
Wisp+Anon- 0 and it should stay that way. -_-
Makoto+Wisp- 0
