Servant of Darkness

Chapter 2
Beginnings Ends

As she waited, she said to me,"Boy. That blue haired boy over there, bring him to me. As we talk, wait elsewhere." A noticeable blush bestowed her cheeks.

I stood and bowed, saying, "Of course, you're Highness."

I turned to see the horrid man that dared catch her eyes. He had short, cobalt blue hair and eyes. He wore a white suit which proclaimed him as a noble and he wore a truly happy smile, which was caused by the girl at his side.

She was gorgeous; more so than my beloved sister if I daresay, her emerald green eyes glistened jovially, her long hair, of the same colour, was tied in pigtails which bounced with every high heeled step. She wore a flowing pink dress smitten with lace.

I felt my body heat up as I approached the couple, for they obviously were.

"Excuse me." I bowed, an arm across my chest.

"Yes?" The man asked.

"Her Majesty, the Queen, would like to have a friendly chat with you, if you would follow me." I saw indecision flash in his eyes.

"Go. You'd best not make the Daughter of Evil wait, my love." The girl smiled gravely.

"I'll return." He promised.

I led him somberly away from her and to Rin. As we approached her, I introduced him. "Your Highness, I have brought a Mr…?"

"Kaito." He finished stiffly.

"Please take a seat, Kaito." He did in my proffered chair. "Boy, you may leave for now." She waved me away, eyes glued to this new toy.

I bowed and left to go stand next to the forlorn girl that was with Kaito. I stood next to her, staring straight ahead, watching them talk. Well mainly it was Rin, and Kaito seemed to be getting very unhappy quickly.

"I'm Len." I said suddenly.

"Miku." I could feel her tension.

"That's a pretty name." I turned to look at her.

"Thank you." She smiled, and then giggled a most beautiful sound.

"What?" I asked, bewildered. Was my face that red?

"I didn't ever expect to get a compliment from the Servant of Evil."

Servant of Evil, huh? Not surprising they'd call me that. "How could I not compliment such a beautiful lady?" I smiled bigger at her, hiding my hurt thoughts.

Her face reddened. "Can I ask you something?" she said seriously.

"Of course."

"Why…" She looked at her clasped hands. "Why do you follow the Daughter of Darkness?"

I felt I should be angry at her for calling Rin that, yet I couldn't find it in me. This confused me.

"I was born to be her servant as she was to be Queen."

"Oh. That simple, huh?" She fidgeted for a minute. "But, the things she does and says, doesn't it anger you?"

Yes, I wanted to say, but we all have faults. Instead, I let silence reign.

We just stood there until I heard stomping. Looking towards it, I saw Kaito speeding over here, extremely angered.

"C'mon, Miku."

"W-what?" He grabbed her hand and practically drug her until they were out of sight.

"Your Highness?" I asked as she walked up to me.

"Let's go! I'm done here!" She fumed.

I quick stepped to our waiting carriage, helped her in, and quickly returned to the castle.
