Not Your Adveradge Fairytale

Misaki's Exploration

    ~Misaki's P.O.V~

For the whole entire day yesterday, I didn't eat lunch or dinner. So I was definantly hungry today. I woke up and made myself something while there wasn't anyone around. I wasn't really comfortable with servants cooking food for me since I don't think that it's their job.

Well...technically it is but you get the idea.

I grabbed some ingredients and made a quick breakfast bowl with eggs, rice, broccoli, bacon, and some ketchup to go with it. It may sound gross but it actually tastes a lot better than you think.

(A/N: Trust me, I made this a couple days ago and it actually tasted AWSOME... Well at least to me that is.)

I put the contents in a  decent sized bowl and mixed it together, placing a spoonful in my mouth. As I turned around I was spooked as I saw the king himself standing before me.

"Well, well." He greeted "It seems that you have found yourself quite at home. Am I wrong?"

I couldn't say anything because I had my mouth full with my creation.

"But I must say.." He continued "Why didn't you ask the chefs for something. You know you don't have to do anything yourself. This is your new home."

At the sound of his voice, which I knew he said that as a command and not a suggestion, I gulped the mouthful hard and it sort of hurt my throat. I looked up, because of my height, and looked anywhere but his eyes.

"I just don't want to cause any trouble and ask them to do it for me. I can cook so..." I paused a little and cleared my throat "I don't need anyone to do it for me."

Fuyuhiko shrugged, then turned around saying a "suite yourself".

Then something urgent popped in my head. I walked behind him at a quicker pace, keeping the bowl of food close to my chest so that it wouldn't drop.

"Um excuse me, but I think it's already time that I would tell them that I am indeed male."

The king paused abruptly and turned towards me, eyes narrow.

"And why would you do that?" He replied

Now I was confused now. I shouldn't be lying about my gender at a time like this.

"It's because I shouldn't lie, they deserve to know the truth. They might even be disappointed and don't want me anymore. I still think that this whole thing is just a jo-" I pause as King Usami had me in his grasp. His large hands taking a hold of my shoulders and pulling me close.

"You." He commanded "Will never tell them that you are indeed a male." He gave a devious smirk

"B-but I" I was stuttering a lot "That's makes no sense, I refuse. I can't live a year with a lie as troublesome as that."

'I can't cause trouble again. I won't except that again.' I thought desperately.

King Usami's eyes narrowed then softened quickly. I knew this was a bad sign.

"Your right, keeping a lie like that is beyond your compare. It would tear your heart." He let go of my shoulders and stood back "And it's also bad to lie about your gender in the first place and go to the ball, as a man nonetheless, and go. Can you kindly ask me why?"

That's the phrase that I was definitely worried about. He hit a nerve big time. If I tell him about I got their then he is going to have to go to my brother, which is what I don't want. But if I leave it as this and lie, I won't live with myself.

I guess...for the sake of my sanity and my fear. I'll...have to keep my gender a secret. Why I must, is the conflict of my situation.

I shook my head and sighed "No. No reason at all."
