Prologue

A young girl wears a white shirt and brown pants and black shoes. Her black hair was tied back in a low ponytail, her white marking was faded a bit. She wandered around the building, watching the people walking around, doing their work. Then she ran into a girl round her age, wearing a fancy dress, "Oh hello." she greets her, Elizabeth tilts her head, curious about the young girl's dress. The girl looks down at her dress and back at Elizabeth, "Have you ever seen a dress before?" she asks her, Elizabeth looks at her and shook her head, making the girl smile, "Then I'll teach you." she states, gripping a hold of her hand, Elizabeth was confused by her words, but then was snap out of it as the girl pulls her along.

"Do you have a name?" she asks her, Elizabeth looks at her, "Elizabeth..." she answers meekly. The girl looks at her, "Elizabeth, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Elise." she introduces herself, making Elizabeth smile at her, "It's a pleasure to meet you Elise." she greets her, "Come on." Elise tells her and pulls her along. "Where are we going?" Elizabeth asks her as they both were in the hallway and saw A boy sitting in the chair, looking to be bored, they both peered out watching him, the boy then looks up at the picture. Elise giggles, getting the boy's attention. They both dive make in hiding and peek out a little, seeing that he saw them, they both giggled and ran off, making the boy follow after them.

"Too slow." Elise giggles, as they ran through the door, "You'd rather sit there like an old prune? Come on!" Elise calls out to him, they ran through the rooms, The boy gave chase. "Aren't you coming?" Elise calls out to him, but as the boy ran into the dining room, he accidentally ran into a servant, making him drop his dish, "My sinkling pig!" the servant shouts as he dives her that pig, the boy looks t him and quickly took off. "Gardes! Les gardiens l'arrêtent!" the servant shouts, "Don't even think about moving!" the servant warns him, but the boy was already gone as he gave chase to the two girls, "Quickly, quickly!" Elise calls out. The boy follows them out into the garden, "Alloy!" Elizabeth calls out. As the two then stop in front of the private table, he walks up to them, "Bet you can't steal one." Elise dares him, then the boy walks up to the table and snatches an apple from the brunch. "Thief! Put that back!" a guard shouts, then the three quickly take off and the boy hid away as the girls ran back inside, and then after a few shouted threats the guard gave up and the boy came out of hiding and runs at the girls, "Hurry! Through here!" Elise cries out as they both hide behind a pillar, as the boy went running pass them, Elise grips a hold of his arm and pulls him to them, they all were giggling.

"Did you see their faces when we stole those apples?" she asks him, making him smile a little, "I'm Arno." he introduces himself, "Elise." she introduces herself as well, "Elizabeth," Elizabeth said, but a bit louder as well. "I'm here with my father." Arno informs them, Elise nods her head, "So am I. He has business with the king." she informs him and Elizabeth looks away from them, feeling a bit jealous of them, Elise notices her sudden mode. "Where are your parents, Elizabeth?" she asks her, and she looks at her, "I don't have any." she answers her, making the two gasp at her, "You mean... you have no family?" Arno asks, Elizabeth shook her head and then Elise grips her hand, making her look at her "Then you will be apart of mine." she tells her with a smile, Elizabeth looks at her, tilts her head to the side with wonder in her eyes. "Does that mean... we're sisters?" she asks her, Elise looks at her, her face lights up and she then wraps her arms around Elizabeth, "Oh, you're so cute!!" she squeals.

Arno smiles at them, "So what should we do now?" he asks them, then suddenly they heard an uproar of people from being shock by something. "Shh. Listen." she tells him, pressing her finger to his lips as they heard guardsmen running towards their direction, "Don't worry, they'll never think to find us here." Elise assures them, but then Arno steps out, "It's my fault, I was the one who took the apple." he confesses, but the guards paid him no mind as they ran right past him, "Let see where they're going." Elise tells him as she and Elizabeth ran off after the guards, Arno then took off after them as they were back in the corridor, Arno saw a bunch of people crowded around an area, "Father?" Arno calls out her his father, "Elise." a man calls out as Arno checks the watch in his hands, "Come here girl, now." he orders and she did so, Elizabeth followed after her. "Father!" Arno calls out again and then walks up to the crowd. He then pushes past to men and saw the dead body on the floor and that dead body was his father, Arno went numb as he lets go of his watch and it hits the ground, breaking at contact, all he was hearing was the sound of ticking. "Come away boy!" a man held his hand out to him, but Arno reaches down, grabs his watch and moves away from him. And then looks back down at his father.

"Arno. Arno, Look at me." a man states, the ticking stops and he did so, looking up at the man and he held out his hand to Arno. He then looks over at Elise and Elizabeth as they were standing close to each other. Elise looks at Elizabeth as she was standing close to her and the man looks down at them and took them to him home.

"Elise. Who is this you brought with us?" the man asks Elise, she looks over at the girl then back at her father. "A new friend I made, can she stay with us?" she tells him as they rode in the carriage, "Elise, she may have parents that are worried about her," he tells her, the girl's face fell and her hands begin to fright. The man notices this, "Do you have parents?" the man asks her. She shook her head, "No, monsieur." she answers her. "What is your name?" he asks her, she looks at him. "Elizabeth Castidenia." she answers him, "Hmm... well Elizabeth, would you like to live with us?" he asks her placing his hand on her head, ruffling her hair a bit.

Elizabeth felt her heart skip a few beat and she grips her pants, tightly. "Oui, Oui, I want to stay with you," she answers him, he smiles at her and ruffles her hair a bit more. "From here on, both you and Arno are my wards, compredre?" he asks them, taking his hand away, Arno and Elizabeth nod with smiles on their faces. "Yay! We're going to have so much fun!" Elise jumps in between them, wraps her arms around their shoulders and they laugh together.
