chapter notes

-----

Blue hadn't much memory of what happened. One moment he was sailing on his ship, and the next, it went dark; but there was a loud CRASH, so perhaps he had hit something? That was a decent theory, but it didn't explain where he was now.

Waking up with a pounding headache, Blue found himself in a room unfamiliar to anything he'd ever seen. It was decorated with things that could be considered "edgy", mostly dark reds and grays in color. Despite this - it appeared all fancy, and.. Royal? Was that the word? Think something very extravagant, yet mixed with your generic edgy teenagers dream room.

Blue slowly slipped from his bed, noticing he was in a similarly red-and-black pajama set; a little odd since his name was literally a color that wasn't.. Well, red. He decided against getting dressed for now, making his way to the door and opening it, only to bump into something cold and hard

"Oh, sir. You're awake." Someone spoke. Before Blue was your typical knight, but he wore black armor instead of the usual silver, having a singular orange feather on his helmet - as said helmet obscured his face

Blue stared at the Knight, confused. "Ah.. who are you, exactly?"

The Knight appeared somewhat surprised, taking a small step back. "Sir- just yesterday we where talking about taking over the Clover Kingdom."

"Taking over the Clover Kingdom?" Blue blinked, continuing to be confused "What do you mean by that?"

"Perhaps you hit your head during the night.." The Knight said, "I guess this means I'll have to introduce myself again. I am Akai Tsubasa - your personal Knight."

"A-Akai!?" Blue yelled with surprise, "Since when did you become a knight?"

"I've been a knight for a while now. I grew up alongside you, actually." Akai said

"I see. So, you know about this place?" Blue inquired, hoping to get more information out of him

Akai nodded "Yes. This is the Castle of Kurai; your home. You're the Prince of the Kurai Kingdom."

"And the king..?" Assuming Blue was still a Prince, he thought that maybe he'd finally be able to know his parents

"The king was once your father, and then your grandfather," Akai explained "Your father and mother went mysteriously missing after your birth, so your grandfather took the throne, but was eventually assassinated."

Blue sorrowed. His Grandfather was still dead, and he wouldn't be able to see his parents. Yet he didn't know why he was still a prince..

"You're destined to take the throne, but without a Princess, you can't" Akai further said

"That explains things I guess" Blue sighed "Do you mind if I get dressed now?"

Akai gave another nod, as Blue shut the door ever so carefully, and decided to get himself dressed, but would quickly realise his choice in fashion was limited. With what he had, he now wore a rather elegant black Prince attire; fitted with a robe.
Leaving the room again, Akai stood outside, waiting patiently - exactly like a guard at its post.

"Now, should I demand the carriage preparation?" Akai straightened the slightly ruffled feather atop his helmet, before getting back into a polite posture

"Carriage preparation?" Blue questioned, unsure of what he meant

"We are going to the Heart Kingdoms outskirts, aren't we?" Akai answered
