Hidden Sister

Chapter 1: Hidden Warrior

Outside of Yona's room, a girl who is the same age as Yona is kneeling near the doorway. The girl wears mostly black clothes and has brown laces wrapped around her arms and legs as a hood is covering her head and a metal mask. (Like the Scattered Bones outfit in Tales of Zestria) She also carries a kodachi on her back waist.

"Hey father, my hair... it's weird isn't it?" Yona asks

"It's not weird. Your beauty outshines any gem." King Il replies as he smiles.

"I think I was born with an admirable face, too. But father... This hair! Why is it so red? Even my deceased mother had flowing black hair. It makes me look weird~!

"it's not true. Right, Hak?"

"Yes. King Il. Nobody has said that Hime's hair is strange. But if I may be so bold to say... There's definitely something wrong with her head." Hak bows down and says with full of confidence which annoys Yona.

"Shut up servant." Yona says and she throws whatever things on her reach to Hak. However, Hak manages to catch all of them easily. "Father, do something about this guy! Even though he's my servant, he's so arrogant! Why can't I have a servant like you do!"

"Now, now, Hak is a childhood friend of yours, right? Besides, Hak is the general commander of the castle at just eighteen. It's only natural that he'd be your bodyguard."

"You don't understand! If I'm going to have a bodyguard then they have to be cuter!"

"Speaking of cute... you don't mind not looking cute yourself?" Hak asks. "It seems he's already arrived. Lord Soo-Won."

"Why didn't you say that sooner?!" Yona questions and runs out of the room looking out for Soo-Won.

Yona runs all over the castle to look for her cousin who is three years older that her. As she turns at the corner, she bumps into someone. She looks you and sees her first love, Soo-Won.

"You're doing well as usual, Yona Hime." Soo-Won greets. "What's wrong? You're panicking."

"I heard you arrived, so I came to see you." Yona replies.

"Wow, how admirable of you." Soo-Won pats Yona's head softly as he ruffles Yona's hair.

As Yona is talking to Soo-Won and shortly Hak joins in, the girl watches this in hiding, smiling under the mask.

~The next day~

Yona finds Soo-Won is horse riding with Hak with bow and arrows in their hands as King Il watches them.

"No fair, Hak! Stealing Soo-Won to play with him while I'm not looking!" Yona whines.

"Now, now, those two haven't seen each other in a while, too. Since they're the same age, they can probably relate easier." King Il says as Soo-Won place an arrow on the bow and stretches the string before he fires it to the target.

"I want to do archery with Soo-Won, too!"

"W-what!? Not a chance! I could never let you hold a weapon. Actually I didn't even want those two to have them."

"Then why don't you do it, father?"

"I might get hurt, right?"

"URGH! You coward!"

"Yona." Soo-Won calls. "Come on down. Come ride the horse."

"Soo-Won!" King Il calls.

"She'll be all right. She'll just be riding the horse."
