The sound of crying girl echoed all over the great hall. The place is massive and so dark.

Sobs* "I'm sorry."

Sobs* "I'm sorry."

Sobs* "I'm sorry Father."

                               After the war 50 years ago, the three Hero Kings formed the three great kingdoms in the continent of Arcobaleno. The Yellow, the Red and the Blue kingdoms. Among the three, the Yellow is the largest, strongest and most prosperous lead by the yellow King: Accel. Trapped in the fear of the war from the past, the Yellow king became obsessed with the thought of someone might take the thrown from him thus showed the people how powerful he is and no one can defeat him.

29 years passed, my mother: Kelsey and my father: Cyrus married each other. Cyrus was a rich merchant while Kelsey was a maid in the palace. They lived as a happy couples, my mom quitted being servant at the palace and lived at the mansion with my father. After a year my mom gave birth to a twins. A boy and girl that looked so much alike without a flaw. The same golden- brown eyes that we got from our mother and a blonde hair from our father. We were born into the world carrying others expectations and blessed by sound of the church's bell. The sound that signaled the tie we have. We rose in a great house and a good family. We grew up together for seven years until the day they ripped our fates.

We played together in front of the mansion carefree and doesn't have any idea about the ruthless world.

"Lance! Lance!"

She screamed running towards me while wearing her great big smile.

"Look! Mom brought me to a jewelry shop and they made this for me!"

She showed me a necklace with a shape of G cleft.

"That's so pretty Leaticia!" I said closing the book I am reading and reached the necklace.

"When we go back tomorrow we will have yours too! That's a promise."

"I'm so happy."

I smiled and then she hugged me.

"It would be unfair if Lance wouldn't got one too right? "

We hold hands and entered the door of the mansion never thought that it would be our last. The next day my father quickly arranges his things and the carriage.

"Mom, where are Dad and Lancelot going?"

You asked while I'm loading the carriage with my things.

"Maybe Dad will have another business in the other kingdom." I answered you.

"But why you have to go too? How long will you be gone?"

"I'm sorry Laeticia but you won't be seeing each other again."

Dad says as he pulled me closer.

"What? Why? I don't want to be separated from Lae!" I cried.

"Your mother and I had divorced. You wouldn't understand it for now but when you grow up –"

"NO!"

I smack my father's hands that gripping me and run to Lae. We hugged each other tightly and tears fell down to our eyes.

"Don't separate us. How about our promise?" She took out the G cleft necklace from her pocket.

"Let go Laeticia." Our mother pulled Lae away from me.
