Hannah

No sound was heard. The room was silent. Hannah's eyes slowly opened. She rubbed them. There at the end of her bed was a man. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

The man didn't move "Your quite the little nuisance aren't you?"

Hannah pulled her covers over the top half of her body. "Who are you?"

"Funny you should ask that. Duke Francis from the south of Kalos. Your great uncle five times removed"

"Why…why are you here in my room"

He laughed "So demanding you should be a bit more respectful to adults kid"

"Don't treat me like I'm a child!"

"You should respect your elders Hannah"

"I out rank you I don't have to respect you. Also why would I respect the guy that's in the bedroom of a thirteen year old girl"

"Your really are annoying. You'll make my ears bleed soon"

"If I'm annoying then get out of my room. You let yourself in. There's the door no ones stopping you"

Francis ran his finger across the bottom left hand bed post. "You don't know do you Hannah?"

"Obviously not. Enlighten me"

"Demanding. But I was meant to take over before you came back"

"Your a pretty obscure relative to be next in line"

"If you listen to half of what your father's says you would know that the Sycamore line has dwindled, a lot"

"Your point?"

"Well since your father isn't here and your under legal age to rule I'm rightful ruler"

"That's bull shit my father wouldn't allow it"

"Oh contraire dear Hannah. For it's written under kingdom law"

Hannah didn't move. She wouldn't take orders from that lunatic. "So I want this palace spotless completely by your handy work as your have the moxie to talk back to your superiors that way"

Hannah didn't budge. "Fat chance"

Francis got on his hands and knees at the end of the bed. He scurried up the bed like a parasite. "Scrap that my first order will to make you my wife" He licked his lips. Hannah screamed. It sounded like a boys scream due to her naturally low voice.

Gary bolted in. Still in pyjamas. If you can count boxers and socks as pyjamas. He saw his girlfriend scared shitless by a man on her bed. "You low life scum!" Gary shouted. He grabbed Francis and threw him off the bed. "How dare you come into my girlfriend's room!" Gary was beyond pissed. A dangerous position to be in with Gary Shigeru Oak. "Oh so your the infamous Gary Oak you sure know how to pick birds boy"

Something snapped deep within Gary. "You sick little shit! You talk like women are objects, possessions even"

"Don't tell me you didn't start dating the girl for status"

"No of course not. I fell in love with Hannah before we even knew she was ruler of Kalos"

Sebastian stood in the doorway. He bowed. If was a very nice bow. That required a great deal of effort. "My sincerest apologise your highness. This lunatic will be thrown out immediately"

Francis stood up tall. "Peasant I am Duke Francis Sycamore"

"Francis we all see through your act the cut off was final. Your part of the family is not permitted to rule"

Sebastian grabbed the scruff of his collar and dragged him out.

Not all royalty is sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes it's more trouble than it's worth. With family obscure enough to be complete strangers to the hate sparked simply from your birth.

Francis' suit was soiled by the cold wet mud. "Don't bother coming back Francis your not welcome" Sebastian shouted. Francis laughed. "This palace is full of imbeciles"

"And I'm looking at a egotistical lunatic that sneaks into the bedrooms of thirteen year old girls"

Francis stood up and brushed himself down. "You don't even question how I got in"

Sebastian's blood ran cold. It haden't even crossed his mind. "Tell me Francis!"

"Mmm no but I will tell you this one piece of advice if you think the weapon was the last of it. You have another thing coming. A revolution is coming Sebastian. The question is who will you side with. Your blood or the one's you swore it to"
