The Romantica Kingdom
Chapter 1
Lucia rubs the blood off her face as she saw the children were getting stabbed one by one on the table. They screaming endlessly makes the other children shake in fear. They knew it will be their turn next and they can't do anything about it. Lucia just stared at them with an empty eyes.
She been trying to contain in her fears until...they called her next.
She stunned. (N-n-no!) Her hands were shaking. One of them went to grab her.
(S-stay away!) They a few steps away from her. She stepped back before turns around to run from them. They were quick to realize it that they grabbed her hair.
"Stupid kid. Think you can escape huh?" the guy pulled her hair to the table.
"NO! LET ME GO! PLEASE LET ME GO!" she struggled to release herself from his grip. The children watch in sorrow when the guy take a knife and ready to stab her.
"S-s-stop! STOP IT!" the guy continued to stab her ignoring her plead. She screamed in pain while spurting blood from her mouth.
"Hmm..how about I cut your leg? Maybe it will grow again." the guy creepily laugh. Lucia shake her head in protest with blood dripping from her mouth. (Someone..anyone help me!)
"Well,I'll take that as a yes." the guy bring out a chainsaw . Lucia vigorously trying to break the rope but to her horror the guy lifted the chainsaw readily to chop her leg off.
(Help.....HELP!!!) Explosion were heard and everything turns black.
Lucia opened her eyes to find she was surrounded by fires."W-What happened?"
"Why hello there little one." a voice from behind her speak. She jumped at the voice. She gulped before turns around carefully only to meet a red eyes.
"W-Who are you?" she look at him suspiciously. The guy pondered for a moment.
"Your knight in shining armor, I guess." he smile cheekily at her. "I don't trust you!"
"You called for help. That's why I here." he reached out his hand. Lucia glance at his hand then at him. "Just...what are you?"
"Look just take my hand. I will explain everything later."
Lucia hesitantly reach out her hands. The guy forcefully grabs her hands which create a glow.
"Wha-!" Lucia falls down almost hit the ground if it weren't for the red eyed guy take her into his arms. He kiss her on the forehead before laying her down on the ground.

"What the heck!?" Lucia trying to balance herself on the branch of the tree as a guy try to make her fall by shaking the tree.
"Leave me alone Sungyeol!" she yells at him. "Yah! Stop slacking off or Sungyu will be mad at us!" Lucia stuck out her tongue.
"WHY YOU!" Sungyeol kick the tree real hard on one last try. Lucia unable to balance herself and falls down to his arms. Sungyeol grins at her. "Gotcha!"
He carried her bridal style to god-knows-where-
Lucia held her head down as she was scolded by Sungyu. "SERIOUSLY TOMORROW WE HAVE IMPORTANT EVENT AND WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING!?"
Lucia rolls her eyes at the leader. "WHAT WITH THE ATTITUDE!? NOT ONLY YOU ARE SLACKING OFF BUT YOU ALSO DISRESPECT ME!" Sungyu points his finger at her.
"Geez calm down man. Need to take the chill pill again?" she mocks him.
"THATS IT!." he walks away. She sighs in relief but her face drop when she sees Sungyu carries a lot of documents. " More works for you to do tomorrow."
She furrows her eyebrows.(How great..)
"So you will be the lead for the princes tomorrow and take them around for tour if they want to. Oh and take care of the new recruits. There are many people joining the magic army so you got to handle it." he smiles at her which make her groans.As he turns his back, she show him a middle finger. " I saw that" he exclaimed. Lucia clears her throat before walking away. Sungyu chuckles.
"Aren't you too hard on her?" Dongwoo says out of nowhere. Sungyu glance at him not surprised by his sudden appearance. " Ah, you want to take over for her. why not?"
"Nope! No way in hell." Dongwoo surrenders and walks away. Sungyu just shakes his head at his pal.

"Can you believe this!?" Lucia said with her mouth full.
"Uh huh..that is if you don't make a mess on the table." Lisa exclaim. Lisa is her girl friend in town. Lucia always help her doing farm job and in return she can eat her cakes for free. For Lucia her sweets are the best in the world.
"Hehe sorry your cake is just so delicious!." Lucia munching on it while savoring the sweet taste.
"You know everyone in the kingdom is very excited about the arrival of the princes. They were working hard preparing for the festival to greet them."
"Tch, what so great about them?" Lucia furrows her eyebrows
"Gosh they like the most handsome princes I had ever meet. I wanna marry them!! KYAA!"
Lisa's eyes comically turn into love while talking about the princes. Lucia groans when she started fangirl about them."Err I have to go." Lucia crept away while Lisa is still talking about the princes by herself.
Lucia put her hands behind her head as she walk down the street. She stare at the decoration of the shops around her in awe. They were beautifully decorated with a signboard saying WELCOME TO THE XERIA KINGDOM.
She didn't realize that people are staring at her,admiring her. She is popular with both gender for her cute looks but she is too dense to notice it. Suddenly she feel someone tap her shoulder and automatically twist it for defense.
"AH THAT HURTS." someone groan in pain. Lucia widen her eyes and immediately let go of him.
"Hoya!? I thought you in the demon world?." Lucia exclaims.
"Duh I already done the job. It's just a piece of cake." He huff arrogantly. " Slacking off again?"
he smiles teasingly.
"Of course not. I was taking a break before doing a tiring work tomorrow." she heaves a deep sigh.
"Oh yeah the princes." Hoya sighs as well.
"Why are they coming here in the first place?" she asks annoyingly.
Hoya leans back on a wall. " They need protection for the princes."
She tilts her head questionably.
"Someone want to kidnap the princes and whatever the reason is our kingdom will be in danger as well."
"Why?" Lucia still don't understand where this is going.
"Some of them have ancient powers which is quite rare. It's possible they targeted the princes for those powers to cause chaos." he explains
Lucia ponders. (Ancient powers? Just like me then)
"Anyway do me a favor to protect the princes tomorrow." he pats her head
She playfully salutes. "Yes sir!" Hoya laughs at how adorable she is.
The princes, huh? she thought.
