Chapter 10

Toya was losing her patience, Tsuky wasn't responding to her desperate act and this made her anxious. She recalled all of her actions from the moment she entered into Tsuky's room, trying to understand what went wrong. Why wasn't Tsuky falling for her acting like everybody else had?

She couldn't wait for a response, so she urged her sister." Please Tsuky help me! l can't spend the rest of my life with someone l don't love. Please you are the only one that can help me." She said, her eyes filled with tears.

Tsuky hesitated a little before responding with her usual calm voice." I'm sorry, but I can't give you an answer right now. As you know this is an important case and l need time to think it through. Moreover, it's already so late at night, we both need to rest, so you better get going." She said while walking towards the door, wanting Toya to follow along.

The two princesses where now standing in the opposite sides of the open door. When Tsuky added. " Good night Toya ! l will inform you about my decision as soon as l make one."

"Yeah, good night to you too, Tsuky." Toya responded, and left in a hurry. Somehow she held herself back from saying something more.

Then, left alone Tsuky sighted in relief as she closed the door, and once again walked towards the balcony.

It was long past midnight, a few hours away from sunrise, but the moon remains as bright as in her peak. The same beautiful light that Tsuky admired every night before falling asleep. The only light that shines her life, the only thing that knows her pain.

It had been a long day, and she was tired but couldn't sleep because of the troubling thoughts on her mind.

Early the next morning she left the palace secretively like she always does, and went at the capital. For years now she would leave the palace walls and go down at the capital in disguise, helping people in trouble and learning more about her kingdom's needs.

Everyone in the capital knew her, but not as the princess or the ice witch but as Lady Luna. The headmaster of the shadow guild.

In all the years she visited the capital, she saved children from illegal slavery and helped the homeless. She gave them a home, a caring family, and they recognize her as their leader. Together they formed the shadow guild, a safe place for the hopeless and a helping hand for the needy.

During the years the guild grew stronger and larger, leaning in other cities too, but Tsuky wasn't the one that managed it. She was the headmaster, but the real leaders were the first founders of the guild.

Five orphans, which were saved by Tsuky in one of her first visits to the capital. After she saved them from illegal slave traders, they never left her side, and they are the only ones that know her real identity as a princess.
