Rumaty Ivan Di Raginei, stood on a balcony as he sighed. His long and defined chocolate-like colored fingers was tracing the golds on his wrist.

He sighed again, "Wish at a time like these Quinza would be here..."

Quinza. His servant from childhood, actually more, his friend who sacrificed himself for him, he accepted the name of traitor.

It has been a year since that day, Rumaty was 18 now. He still was in shock that the girl he got feelings for in the past turned out to be his cousin.

Now, his cousin, Kajika and her boyfriend, Li Ren were together, but they still kept in touch with him and their other friends.

"What's this face?" a young woman's voice pulled him out of his thoughts.

"Najayra?" His cousin, Najayra stood before him, an annoyed expression was on her face as always.

"You look so lame. You're a king, act like one." Najayra said, sharply while Rumaty chuckled. "Are you here to concole me or insult me? Or both?"

His narrowed eyes glinting with mischief, he asked.

"Yeah, yeah." Najayra just dismissed him and she got lost in her thoughts, too. Rumaty gazed at his cousin,

it was obvious she was sad, she was hurt like Rumaty when Quinza died. She loved him, and seeing the person you love die in front of you was... Not good.

"Thinking about Quinza?" asked Rumaty as Najayra hugged herself at the mention of the name.

"Yeah, it's just, it has been a year, I can't still believe he's dead. I-I promised him that I would move on, be strong..."

Rumaty smiled and placed a hand on her shoulder, "You will be..."

Najayra smiled then pinched his arm, "Don't get so close with me, you not good cousin of mine!" she exclaimed, playfully. As she left, Rumaty was left alone again,

"Will my loneliness end, I wonder...?"

"Have you heard, that some dancers from Jiodanna will come here?!"

"Jiodonna, you mean, Siodanna? Yes, I have heard, for the King Rumaty's reign over one year anniversary."

Rumors were spreading the hallways. As they continued to chant, a figure come up to them.

"What's this about dancers?"

"Your majesty!" they bowed, and one of them spoke, "It's for your anniversary for one year reign..."

A gasp escaped his lips as he thought about the occasion. "Thank you for the explanation, you may continue..."

He left shortly after he dismissed them, 'Dancers from Siodanna, huh?'

Magenta pink eyes opened, the sun made them more lighter, she laughed as she walked down the road. She waved her hand at everyone.

As she came stop the inn she stayed with her friends, she entered inside. As soon as she entered, someone started to pinch her cheeks, tightly.

"Where were you, Diana?!" pouted red lips, a mole under her lip, emerald green eyes and wavy-curly brown hair, "P-Pwenewop-pe.!!" she whined as her cheeks were being pinched.

Suddenly the so called, Penelope, stopped.  She placed her hands on her hips.

"So?!"

Diana pouted, "I went out to get some things. It's just that."

Penelope sighed at her friend's innocence.

"Well, you had me worried, and we've to get prepared for going to the Capital. So get ready!"

"Hai hai~!" Diana agreed as she left. The emerald eyed beauty sighed,

"Oh, Diana, I know that you know how the world is. But I can't help and be worry about you." as she said this, a memory came to her mind, her and Diana, they were just 7 years old, playing happily.

Diana. Diana was her name, she didn't have any last names but she was Diana of Siodanna, a dancer and a very successfull and beautiful at that.

She looked at the dancer dresses she could wore. Pink, blue, purple, red. All of them were beautiful, but she chose her all-time favourite, two piece, a pink dancer dress with gold onarments.

"How is it like the Capital, I wonder?" 

Diana smiled, she had done her chores like her other dancer friends. As she walked down the hallway, looking at the vases. Someone harshly bumped down into her, as she fell, the clothes in her hand flew everywhere.

" You should watch where you are going, Diana." a sinister cold voice she knew so much,  scarlet red hair and dark cold blue eyes, with a blue dancer dress, a sinister smile on her face as her hand on her mouth, she was chuckling.

"Crystal..."

"What, cat got your tongue?" Diana clutched her dress's skirt as she got up.

"Shame, that you were selected as one of the dancers for the King... King Rumaty, they say he's very handsome, chocolate-like skin, silk-like raven hair but do you know the most mesmerizing trait of his face..."

Diana blinked, she didn't really thought about King Rumaty much, she was just a village girl, there were no television nor internet here. So, she didn't really saw him nor fantasy about him. But the way Crystal  spoke about him piequed her interest.

" Royal blue..."

Diana blinked once more, royal blue, what an unique trait for an asian man, well there were some people like Diana, Crystal and Penelope, too, but their origins were different.

"Don't get your hopes up. After all, you're just a street whore." Crystal walked past her while bumping her shoulder against her.

Diana straightened her back and spoke, "Are we really sure that I'm the one who is a whore, last time I checked I wasn't the one who sold her body for a dress."

She could feel Crystal's aura flaring, as she walked away from her, a victory smile played on her lips as her crystal magenta eyes sparkled.

"Urgh! How I wish I go with you, Diana.!" Penelope exclaimed, her hands on her hips.

"Me too, Loppe!" Diana hugged her friend, then broke the hug.

"From Siodanna to capital, it takes about a month with walking." Said Penelope, "Drink more water than usual, you know the weather of Raginei."

"Hai!"

Penelope gazed at her, intently. "Be careful of Crystal, we both know she hates you."

"I will, don't worry..." the blonde beauty smiled at her friend.

This was Diana of Siodanna, a free-spirited dancer, joyful, beautiful. She joined the other damcers and their boss for the journey as she waved at Penelope.

'King Rumaty, huh? I wonder, what kind of a person he is?'
