Chapter 2: Fate 1
I noticed that I fell asleep. Anyway no one was around and I'm all alone. I groggily stood up, my head hurts like it hit something, then suddenly noticed a sword leaning beside the mahogany cabinet.I don't remember I have something like that nor Hajime gave me a sword as a gift. And like, hello? Today was the genre of guns (goosebumps).
When and where did it came from???
I walked a bit and I held it and released it from its sheath. Unlike other sword, its blade was bluish and silver, the handle was wood inside and outer was covered in durable glass, seems like a fiber glass. It was not as heavy as it look. It seems I was carrying a plastic cup.
I lifted it up and swayed it...It was so mesmerizing, the colord of the blade amazes me, because in books and movies the blades were all silver; the handle wasn't like that. The only thing that they do look like was the sheath. Simple. As I return it to its sheath I heard a voice:
"Empress, we need you. Save us please"
The room seems to swirl, my head started to feel pain, my vision started to blur. I just held the sword in my left hand as I lost consciousness.
A blinding light followed..
My eyes hurt, I slowly open my eyes. It was very luminous. I was sitting on a decorated pavement.
"Hello there."
Shocked, I turned to the owner of the mild, male voice.
He was sitting modestly on a large tree trunk. At first glance you would thought of him as a woman. He was smiling and looking at me,he slowly went down.
He is very handsome, he has hazel eyes, long jet black hair, white complexion and he is wearing this loose white robe. I was in the middle of sinking in the occurences now, when he spoke, "Are you lost my lady?"
I was brought to fantasy island, am I dead?
I was surprised, I think I blushed. I was taring at his godly presence. He seems glowing.
What am I going to say?
Come on, think, Catherine.
I looked at him, blink onced and opened my lips.
"I am not a villager in here, in fact I don't know where I am."
I closed my eyes for a few seconds and sighed a relief.
Silence covered up. He stared at me.
"It seems you're telling the truth that you are from another world, is it?" he smiled
I stood up, shook off the dust that was colkected by my skirt.
"Yes" though confused I continued conversing with him.
He walked nearer to me and fixed himself. "By the way, I haven't introduced myself to you..." he said smiling, he offered his hand for a handshake and continued, "I am Hikaru"
My mind is a bit flirty yet I managed to be modest.
" I am Catherine" we hand shaked.
His hands were very soft, seems he doesn't do anything.
"Nice meeting you , my lady" he let go of my hand, he placed his crossed arms inside his kimono. He was staring at me, his hazel eyes seemed penetrating at me.
I think I am melting , help me.
He was about to bow down when a servant or a geisha looking arrived and alarmed him. She was breathing heavily from the running she did.
"Your highness..." she gasped for breath
"...your brother has arrived and was making trouble at the gates"
Highness? So he was a king...or an emperor. Why is he cloth so simple? Where's his crown?
His face turned serious, his eyebrows furrowed. He looked at me with those innocent looking eyes, "My lady..." he started, the seriousness in his face never fades.
" Please allow Meimei to assist you and I hope you to be quiet for a moment" he walked away and prepared himself.
I just nodded and followed Meimei
"We'll hide in our place nearby" she said while assisting me. She was very demure which is my total opposite.
We hid in a safe cabin where only servants knew. It was very clean and not enormous inside. Bed foams were piled neatly, lamps were hanging in every corner and windows were covered by a thin layer of cloth, seems it was a cover.
Not far from where we hid, I saw Hikaru, he was angry. Suddenly a blonde approached him. I may not hear them well but I sense it's a bad one.
The servant looks scared. I look at her and asked, "Who was that?"
She was shaking, her gazed was still nailed to that blonde, "Oh, that was Aiomi, the brother of Lord Hikaru"
"Why aren't they together living here?"
She looked at me and return to the distress outside.
"Aiomi should be the king but he doesn't want to be treated as one, so Hikaru was chosen"
Whoa! He doesn't want to be king, out of curiosity I asked, "Why?"
She shook her head
"I do not know my lady, I apologize I am not that of help"
I tapped her shoulder, "You helped me. We hid here as Hikaru as ordered"
"Thank you, my lady"
