"You were going to KISS THE PRINCESS! AND YOU'RE A GIRL? Did she mistaken you? How did you two even meet! I CANT BELIEVE THIS!" My brother paced around, yelling and throwing things.

"Well," I piped up," I didn't mean to, Levin, we met at the tiny library room and I went to find you and she sent guards to find me!" He stop and looked at me.

"And that's where you two kissed at the garden. I see now, sister. But it is not your fault, it's nobodies fault. It happens." And he went back to pacing. I shook my head and went upstairs where our bedroom was. I went to my bed and cover myself in blankets. Besides, we nearly kissed. I wonder what had happen to the princess. I didn't even get the chance to say goodbye.

I awoke the next day by the sound of trumpets. My brother looked alarm and opened the window. I pulled off the blankets and rushed to his side and my heart dropped. There was the princess, with thousands of soldiers surrounding her.

"Oh...crap." Said my brother. He stepped away from the window and began to change. I stayed watching. A man stepped out and began reading a long paragraph." Dear people of Millington, as many of you know, the prince was to be killed at the night of his return!"

Gasps erupted from the crowed, then became whispers. The man continued," We shall search everyone's house today for any evidence and when we do, you shall be hang by dawn! Another thing, we are searching for a mystery man who came and danced with the princess. He too, may step out and reveal himself and shall live in the castle!" I look at the princess, who was looking around slowly, trying to find a familiar face.

"Pack up. We're going to David's place." I sighed and step away from the window and packed as well." I wonder who this mystery man is? Oh that's right, it's not a man at all..." I ignored him and grabbed my bag. I grabbed a straw hat and my brother put on his usual cap." Let's go."

We came out from the back of the house and sneak past people and guards. David's place was a few streets down, but I wanted to see the princess again. Has she fallen for me? Or have I fallen for her? Or maybe both. My brother stop and hid behind some crates and pulled me with him. A group of soldiers walked down the alley, inspecting everything. I shuffled my feet and a soldier slowly stop walking and looked around."What was that?"

He stood there and tried to hear it again. After a couple more head turning, he shrugged and whispered under his breath," Probably just a rat." He walked down and catches up with his group. My brother peaked down the alley and we stealthily ran down the alley, opposite from the soldiers." That was a close one." I said.

"Too close, I taught you to not even move an inch when suspicious is being risen and they are looking around. Try to remember, will you?" I looked down and nodded.

 Try to remember, will you?" I looked down and nodded

My brother knocked on the door and looked around before the door opened and we quickly went inside." Levi! God dammit they're looking all over for you!" David said, following Levi into the living room." I know, I know! The damn son of a bitch was stronger than I expected..." he began blacking the bags down and sat on the couch and signed loudly. I placed my things on the floor and sat on a chair next to the door frame." Yeah and I though you were skillful enough to do it!" Said David.
