The fall of a Twin

Chapter 3

Arjen P.O.V

After a few days we began to get used to the palace and our daily routine that consisted of breakfast, lessons, lunch then more lessons a break then dinner and sleep. Life droned on like that until we found it.

We found a dog hole!

As Arien and I had been looking for a way to escape we decided to roam around the walls of the palace and see if we could find anything or any way out and it finally worked. Arien and I had been stocking our food for the last few days in a tree trunk opening so we decided that now was the time.

Our plan was to sneak away at night through the window. Arien and I knew the their would be guards so we had decided it would be best to use magic to hide ourselves to the best of our ability. When we were discussing the stealth and hair spells we were going to try top get just right before we left we began to think back to Kaira.

-Flashback to when they were like 6-

" Hey Arjen you think the fruit trees are ripe for picking yet" Arien said looking over her shoulder at me while we were walking.

"I dunno why don't you go check" As I said that Arien froze under our usual tree to climb.

" What's the matter? Why are you just standing underneath it"

I then walked next to her side and realized what she was looking at. Their was a female woman sitting leisurely in the tree, she looked to be in about her mid 20's with white hair and onyx colored eyes. Her clothing was of that of a mercenary and she has multiple daggers in cases all over her body.
(I will put an edit if what she looks like in a chapter where J out the character looks)
The female in the tree was twirling what looked to be a kunai around on her finger.
(This is a kunai)

She abruptly stopped twirling the kunai and hopped down in-front if the tree to look at us.
She was couches down looking at us for what felt like forever before blinking nodding to herself and holding out her hand,

"My name is Kaira" she paused for a moment before retracting her and saying, " I hope we can be friends"

She then stood up and leapt back into the tree turning and waving at us waving and as she was leaping away I swear I saw a  silver tail poking out from underneath her skirt. I blinked shook my head and looked again but by the time I opened them she was gone and all that was left was a fresh minty scent.

By the time I looked over at Arien she was frozen where she stood watching the place that the woman who named herself as Kaira was just standing. I debated letting her snap out of her trance on her own or tapping her, I decided on the tapping option because the wind was picking up and it was getting colder.

"Hey Arien" I said waving my hand in front of her face "It's starting to get cold lets go back inside"

She went cross eyed for a second before looking at me with her eyes still in a bit of a daze "Did you get an odd feeling as though you knew her? Like she was I dunno special?"

I waited a minute before responding

"I have no idea but I don't think this will be the last time we see her"

-Flashback over-

I ended up being correct it was indeed not the last time we saw her, it wasn't even close to the last time as she became the closest thing we had to an older sister. She always looked after us to the best of her ability and was there with us when we were sick or were injured severely by Rurahel.

That was until the incident that put a stop to our happy little family.

I was soon snapped out of my daze filled with memories as I felt my body being shaken by none other than my sister telling me that it was time to eat some lunch. I looked over to the clock and realized that more time than I had thought had passed.

Moments after Arien told me it was time for lunch there was a few knocks that sounded against the hardwood of the rooms doors,

Tap

Tap

Tap

A faint voice on the other side of the door spoke after the tapping,

"Your highnesses its Ishina may I enter it is time for your lunch"

Arien looked at me for a brief moment before we both turned our heads towards the door and said,

"Come in" in our monotone voices sounded through the once quiet room.

Second later we heard the click of the door handle as our main caretaker Ishina walked in with her cinnamon brown hair in it's usual low bun with the pristine white bonnet tucked snuggly into place. She was wearing her usual maid attire that included a long black sleeved dress that had a proofed out skirt with her white apron tied overtop of the skirt her top consisted of a white fabric that began at her neck and draped overtop of her chest where it ended.

(Look at the character chapter to see the exact pic of her if I have uploaded it already)

She briskly walked into the room and stood at the foot of the bed with her posture as perfects as it always is, she then began her sentence,

"Your Majesties, I have been informed that His Majesty would like to dine with you this afternoon" She paused, gauging our reactions before continuing with her sentence.

When we didn't give her one she continued with her sentence,

"So I am here to get your majesties ready and prepared to dine with his majesty once again"

She then clapped her hand together and more servants entered with towels and clothes in their hands.

So began the pampering, after Ishina's command for them to be prepared to dine with the Emperor they were taken to bathe then placed in a pair of matching clothes. The clothes were purple and Ariens dress was a basic dark purple without any designs the dress itself was a halter dress that went down to her knees in the front but extended to the middle of her calf. Ariens hair was in a simple high ponytail with her bangs hanging by the side of her face. Arjen wore a simple white dress shirt and the pants were the same shade of purple as Ariens dress. 

So seing as it has been months since I have uploaded I decided to oublish as I go for now until I complete a lot more writing with other plot points and the decisions for filler chapters and stuff

So yeah sorry about the not uploading part
