A new update since forever! Not much to say haha, guys read on~
==========
Chapter 5
As the two groups stare down at each other back in their real world, the two outworlders just stands there trying to take in their surrounding.
Unlike Earth, this world was full of nature and the air much cleaner. Not to mention how much more beautiful it is than Earth. The colours were unrealistically vivid and nice to look at. No, it would be nice to look at if there weren’t soldiers surrounding them from all sides.
“What do you want, Shinoda?” Yuko glares at her who wasn’t wavering and glared right back.
“What do I want? I want my sister back, and I want you to hand over that criminal.” She said switching her glare to Jurina who looked very afraid and was hiding behind Takamina.
“What if I said I won’t give them to you?”
Mariko chuckles “Then I’ll do just this.” She flicked her thumb and forefingers and in a well-coordinated movement as if it was practiced, the soldiers swiftly pinned them all down including the two policemen.
They tried their best to struggle free but what if they get free? They knew they wouldn’t be able to get past that barrier of soldiers.
“I’m really disappointed in you Haruna. I thought that you would at least learn to behave since mother and father died. But here you are, you threw away your royal lineage to run away with a rat!” Mariko yells looking at Haruna with the most negative expression Haruna has seen on her. It was full of disappointment towards her, and hatred towards Yuko.
“Take them away!” She commanded as her soldiers gave a powerful “Yes Ma’am!” and tossed them all inside the horse carriages, each in their own separate one.
As the horses were going out of vision due to the distance growing, Acchan glanced at Yuko whose lip was bleeding from her biting it. It was a habit of Yuko to do when she regrets something.
“Why, why did you come back...?!”
=====
The guards harshly throw Yuko, Mayuyu and Yukirin in the same cell, while Jurina and Takamina were in a different prison. Haruna herself was softly pushed towards her own room back at the castle but with 2 guards outside her door and another two outside her window, there was no way out.
“Shit!” Yuko said as she pounded on the stone wall. She was crying hard and she kept hitting the wall, making her get cuts and a hand covered in blood.
“Oshiriko, I think it’s time you tell us what’s going on.” A timid Mayuyu gathers the courage to ask an enraged Yuko with a calm Yukirin behind her.
Suddenly Yuko stops and faces the two. “Yeah, I’ll tell you everything, from the very beginning.”
=====
“Alas t! wherefore didst this has't to befall to us?” Said Jurina in her ol Shakespeare English in a very dramatic voice like she was acting out a play. (Why did this have to happen to us)
“Huh? Wait since when did you have that dialect?”
“i wast b'rn with it thee nuthead! act not liketh it such a strange thing i has't! t’was a blessing from mine own mother and father, thee bumhole!” This time she was saying it like she really meant it.
“’I was born with it you nuthead! Don't act like it such a strange thing I have! It was a blessing from my mom and dad, you bumhole!’ Is that what you said?” Takamina confirms
“of course t is!” Jurina sighs.
“Why did it have to be this way?” She said in her normal speech.
“Oh you’re back.” Takamina laughed with Jurina ignoring her.
“I’m glad to have seen her again, but she looked…different. And I’m sure she was angry with me. The way she looked at me…it was terrifying… Oh Rena-chan, YOU’RE CUTE WHEN YOU’RE TSUNDERE TOO!” This time, instead of having a negative emotion she suddenly switched to a positive one.
“Bipolar much, Jurina?” She watches a happy Jurina say all the good stuff she noticed about the new Rena out loud. But Takamina wasn’t exactly as positive as her. “Why am I the only one not connected to the royal family? I want to be in love with a princess too…” Was the thought that ran through her head that entire night.
=====
Haruna was sitting silently at where her table in her room drinking her tea as graciously as ever. She was taught proper manners ever since she knew learned how to speak so she acts like a princess even if she’s tries hard not to.
She stares off in the distance outside her window, not really thinking about anything. It was blank, like the sky tonight.
Without her noticing, someone knocks into the room and enters without permission. She was wearing her normal clothes. To easily put on her armour at any time, instead of wearing dresses like the other princesses, she was wearing a plain white shirt and black pants.
“Haruna.” She called but Haruna ignores her. She realized that someone else was in the room due to the addition of a new breathing pattern.
Mariko sighs, she walks close to Haruna and takes her hand. “Haruna I’m sorry. You know I did this because I love you a lot. You’re my sister and I can’t just allow you to do something as dangerous as that.”
Haruna tightly grips Mariko’s hand back as a form of understanding and affection, but she still didn’t want it to happen. She finally found the girl she longed for ever since she was a little girl, and now they’re separating them.
Haruna lets go of Mariko’s hand, making it softly land on her lap as she continues to stare outside.
At that moment, Mariko really wanted to cry. She never had her sister that she adored so much treat her coldly like this.
But Mariko was a woman of pride and dignity so she never cries in front of other people.
“I’ll come back to visit you tomorrow. I have a matter to attend. Sleep tight, dear sister.”
=====
“Here they are, the documents of the prisoners.” Rena’s steward said.
“I appreciate your efforts, you may go.” Rena calmly said as her steward bows and swiftly leaves the room.
“Hmm. Oshima Yuko, thief. Matsui Jurina, thief. Takahashi Minami, bard. They had a bard with them?” Rena’s heart tightens when she said Jurina name, but she kept her front.
“Yes, the bard was no more than a mere entertainment in an inn located west of here. I don’t know why or how she ended up with those two thieves, but it matters not.” Acchan, who was outside in Rena’s balcony staring up at the beautiful night sky said.
“Where are the other two? The pair that had strange blue clothes.” Rena questions going through all the documents.
“Oh, that’s right. We tried our best, but no records of those two can be found. No one has ever even seen them before. They were most likely from that other world beyond the portal. One of those ‘police officers’ I heard.”
“I see, so when is it? The execution of Oshima?” When Rena said that, Acchan flinched a bit, but only a tiny bit. However, Rena caught it.
“Haha, I almost forgot. She’s your birth sister isn’t she? Are you sure you’re not secretly conspiring with them?” She asks playfully, but trying to get an answer out.
“Surely you jest, Ms. Matsui. That woman may be connected to me by blood, but she abandoned me. I should ask you the same, aren’t you in love with your cousin Jurina?” This time, Acchan was being the playful one. She had obvious anticipation in her eyes, trying to amuse herself.
“You are a sly woman, Princess Maeda. I admit that I did harbour feelings for her, but now there’s nothing.”
“Is that so.” Acchan said.
“The execution is in fourteen nights, fortnight. Preparations have already been started, all we need to do is to keep them there until the time.”
“That’s all we need to do.”
