The definition of a Princess

9

"Let go of me!!" You yelled at Yumin.

You snapped him from your arm before beginning to argue. You left the ballroom floor and went out to the patio where he followed you.

Yumin turned you by your arm, "I did nothing wrong? She's a traitor!!"
"Did you seriously choose the monarchy over her? She wa-
"I'm just serving my duty to the King! Which means protecting you at all costs!" he took a step forward with aggrivance, "You don't even understand! If she gives the weapons to the people, they'll start a revolt and they'll start killing, starting with you!"
"Why would they need to revolt?!" you questioned annoyed and he rolled his eyes.
"I can't make you understand! You're just a young girl.."

You wiped the tears of anger from your eyes.

"I hate you!"

You rushed passed him and immediately ran into your father who was now on the dance floor.
You knew what was coming.
A lecture of a lifetime about how you were a disappointment.
He opened his mouth, ready to spew words of hate until he spots Kane on the dance floor.

"Kane! Come here for a moment" he waved Kane over and you glared at the Guard. "I've been thinking of a suitable male for my daughter! I couldn't think of anyone but you who's climbed the ranks so swiftly!"

Your father smiled but you were horrified as Kane remained motionless.

"Is that so my King?"
"Quite! I would love for you two to dance! And it seems like a Lord Regiment might be in place soon.." your father hinted and Kane smiled.
"Really?! That would be an honor!"
"But Father!" you started but he cut you off.
"Don't be such a scrooge! Dance with the young man!"

Kane held out a hand as he smirked. You balled your fist before releasing and placing your hand in his. Kane took you to the dance floor where he spun you around and pressed your body against his.

Little did you know he could actually dance!

The music picked up and he threw you in the air before catching you. Kane span you around once more before lifting you up and keeping you posed in the air.
You were out of breath as he set you back down and brought your lips close. You could feel his hot breath and you gulped as his stare gazed upon your eyes.
You thought you might kiss until he brought his lips to your ear.

"Silly girl.. you'll soon serve me~"

Everyone clapped and cheered as Kane bowed and walked away. You stood both frightful and confused.
Why did it feel like no one listened to you?
Why'd it feel no one was on your side?
What did Kane mean by that?

You didn't care about the party anymore and you quickly rushed to your room. You slung open the door and grabbed the key and letter you his beneath your bed.
Tear fell from your eyes.
You really did feel like a dumb Princess.
Glamelia was to be executed and there was nothing you could do.
Your father would never listen and Yumin has shown who's side he was on.

And Kane.. you were certain there was more than what was being perceived.

"You look lonely"

Your head shot to Lenon who was already in your room.
You really needed a lock on your door.

"What do you want?" you muttered and he stood above you as you sat on the bed. He removed your mask and wiped your tears.
"I've never seen a Princess cry.."
"Well I've never seen a killer spare someone"
"Touché" he shrugged and glanced at you, "What does a Princess even need to cry about? You can have anything at anytime"
"You wouldn't understand.."

Lenon snatched the envelope from you and you stood up trying to get it back.

"What's this~?"
"Stop! Lenon give it back!"
"How do you know my name?" he mumbled as he began to open it.

You tried to grab it again but fell on top of him. The letter scattered beneath the bed and he rolled his eyes. You attempted to get up but he held you in the embarrassing position.

"You know.. you're not exactly boring. Probably why I haven't killed you~" he leaned forward with a smirk as your face flushed. He pushed you on his lap and you slapped him once again as you stood up.
"Ow.." he mumbled taking off his mask.
"I need your help.." you sighed and he grabbed your wrist.
"What's in it for me?" he asked and you pulled some gold out your dresser. The killer began to laugh. "I don't want that"
"Well what do you want?!"

He walked forward and put his hand on your cheek.

"I've never kissed a Princess~"
Your face heated, "You don't even know what I need help with!"
"Doesn't matter.. I'll do it for a kiss~"

You stared into his lustful eyes unamused. Yes, he was handsome but.. he was still a killer.
A strange killer at that.
You knew little about his background but, it was just weird.

I need help finding Glamelias address.. Yumin won't take me and I'm not familiar with the streets of the Kingdom.

You glared at the killer and he stroked your bottom lip. You leaned forward a bit and your lips locked. It was soft.. nothing more than that. He was rather.. gentle. Going as far as to peck your cheek and go back to your lips.
He began to pull your body closer and you didn't want to refuse.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Kane yelled through your room and you jumped. Lenon began to laugh as Kane glared. "Are you serious Princess? I never took you for the type.."
"It's not like that!" You yelled embarrassed and Kane glanced at the suspicious male.
"Leave" he told him and Lenon shrugged.

You watched as Lenon left the room without a fight and you couldn't help the embarrassment. If your father ever found out you were kissing a strange man.. you'd be shamed.. beat even!

You ran to Kane a bit desperate as he stood quiet.

"Don't tell! It's a misunderstanding.." you trailed off and he rolled his eyes as he went to shut your door.
"What's the matter with you?!" You asked as he turned to you again with a scowl, "Don't tell me you're jealous.."

Kane suddenly had an outburst of anger.
Why was he so upset?

"Stop screwing around!! Do you seriously not remember me?!" he asked and you shook your head. A small laugh of annoyance left his mouth, "Of course you don't! You're so self centered!"
"Shut up! You've been nothing but a disrespectful brat since you've got here! Know your place!" you pushed at him and he grabbed your wrist as he slammed you against the wall.

"My place?!" he scowled as he held you in place, "Alright Princess.. I'll say the same when I'm in control~"
You stared at each other with hate.
"You're the traitor.."
"How'd you guess~?"
