Chapter 1 (Changes towards the future)

Disclaimer: I do not own anything

Credit for the start of this story goes to GatsuBerk...this is a continuation of his fanfic Discarded...this story picks up right at the end of chapter 12 in his story.

Saito slowly opened his eyes. He was still a little sore and tired from the battle yesterday but knew he would be completely healed by this afternoon. That was a very good thing because he needed to head to Albion to complete the mission the princess had given him before he left.

Right now though, at this moment, he couldn't take his eyes off the beautiful, gentle, loving girl he was laying with wrapped up in his arms. Just laying here in bed with her made his entire soul feel calm and relieved.

Saito had done some traveling in the few months since leaving the academy. He has met all kinds of different people, a lot of them beautiful and kind women. No matter how beautiful, gentle or caring they were, he always compared all of them to Siesta, and none of them could match her in his eyes.

He knew when he left the village the first time she couldn't take not seeing him or knowing whether he was safe or not. He tried to make sure she understood he would always return to her, but he wasn't sure if he did. The last thing Saito wanted was to lose Siesta. He truly loved her even though they haven't been together for very long, but the direction his life was going now, being a royal guard, taking out mages, and all the other things that have been adding to his reputation he was afraid he would be putting not only Siesta, but her entire family in danger if he was with her. He needed to find out if she was willing to accept that kind of danger. He didn't want to be with anyone else but if it was too dangerous, he would make sure she was safe and free to live whatever life she choose. He certainly wanted it to be with him, but as long as she was safe and happy that was all that mattered to him.

Just as Saito was finishing up his intermonologue, Siesta started to wake up. She stretched herself out to wake up her body and looked right into Saito's eyes.

"Good morning beautiful" Saito said to her. He always loved the light blush she would get when he called her beautiful.

"Good morning to you, handsome" Siesta said causing her to blush a little bit. Everytime Saito called her beautiful it made her heart flutter.

"I have to go see Jacob, talk to your father, check on everyone to make sure no one has any lingering injuries, and I need to leave again by this afternoon" Saito told Siesta. She was not very happy that he was leaving again after she just got him back after 2 months of being away.

"What do you mean you have to leave again Saito?" asked Siesta. She wanted to spend a lot more then just one night cuddled up next to her Saito before he left her again. "You just came home yesterday, fought all night to overthrow our corrupt Duke and you have to leave again before I get to spend any time with you?" Siesta says to him.

"I know Siesta i'm really sorry but the princess gave me a mission I have to complete. Luckily, this one isn't dangerous and it will only take me a couple of days before I will be back here. I just have to go to Albion and retrieve something for the princess and i'll be right back. I promise to spend as much time as I can with you before I have to leave and I wanted to talk to you after I was finished with all the things I mentioned earlier. Can you make some time for me after I'm done and before I leave so I can talk to you about some things?" Saito said. His eyes never leaving Siesta.

"Yes Saito, I will make sure I have time to talk to you later. How about this then Saito? You go see Jacob at his tower and I will go to the shelter to check on the injured. My dad should also be there and I can send him to Jacob's tower to talk to you when I see him. That way we can get it done faster and I get more time to spend with you today!" Siesta was very excited to help him get everything done he wanted to. She wanted to spend every possible second with him before he left again today. She missed the kisses, hugs, and cuddling so much.

"That sounds like a great idea Siesta. I'll head to Jacob's tower and once I talk to you father i'll head back to the shelter. I can talk to anyone there who has any questions and we can spend a couple hours together after we are done there."

Siesta is thrilled at this idea and starts to get up out of bed, only to be pulled down by Saito.

"Where do u think you're going beautiful? Can I please get a good morning kiss from the most beautiful woman on two worlds?" Saito asked Siesta as he pulled her down into his arms.

"Of course my hero, you can have as many as you like" Siesta says to him as he steals a kiss from her. It never ceases to amaze him how every time he has an intimate moment with her that it feels so natural. The way their hands practically melt together when they hold hands, the way their bodies fit together when they sleep together, and the way his lips feel everytime they kiss. "But first..." Siesta says "Let's get some breakfast you have to be starving after yesterday" As if on cue, Saito's stomach rumbles. Siesta giggles at the sound "See, I told you you needed to eat. What would you do without me Saito?" the former maid says to him giggling at him.

"I have no idea what I would do without you Siesta" says Saito.

Saito and Siesta sit down to have some breakfast and spend a little time together before everything they need to get accomplished today before Saito leaves again. After breakfast, Saito gave Siesta another kiss and told her he would see her in a little bit after he was done at Jacob's tower. As Saito made his way towards the tower he took in the village of Tarbes and he didn't like what he saw. The village was pretty much destroyed. There were very few buildings that were not damaged and not many more that could be fixed without tearing them completely down and rebuilding.

The one thing that kept his mind off the destruction was the fact he knew they had the money to rebuild and they had a strong enough community that they would help each other get back on their feet. While he was lost in thought, he realized he was already at Jacob's tower. Saito knocked on the door and waited for Jacob to answer.

"Hey Saito!" Jacob said glad to see his friend was up and doing good after that battle yesterday. "It's good to see you up and about. You used a lot of KI and energy yesterday and I wasn't sure how long it would take you to recover from that much strain"

"Yeah I feel good Jacob. I'm still a little sore and not quite completely recovered yet, but I will be back at 100% by this afternoon so no need to worry about me" Saito said to him. He wanted to make sure Jacob wasn't worried about him.

"So what brings you to my tower this morning Saito? I figured you would be spending today attached to Siesta like you two always are when you are together" Jacob says to Saito laughing a little at the two inseperable teens he has come to think of as family.

"Well, I will be spending a lot of time with Siesta today but I actually came to see you because I need to use the messenger bird to send a message to the princess. I have to leave again this afternoon to head to Albion but I need to send a message and wait for the reply. It shouldn't take more then a few hours for the message back and I will be leaving after that" Saito said to Jacob.

"Of course you can use it Saito" Jacob says to him "Anything for a royal guard of Tristania" Jacob says chuckling at Saito.

"Yeah her majesty gave me this before we left. It still hasn't fully sunk in what exactly that means for me but i'm starting to get the idea by the way everyone keeps reacting when they see this" as he points to the clasp on his cloak.

"It means you're moving up in the world Saito!" Jacob exclaims loudly. Saito isn't sure if he is making fun of him or happy for him but he will take it either way. He realized not long after meeting Jacob that he was nothing like most of the mages he knew.

"Ok thanks Jacob. Oh also, John should be making his way here so I can talk to him. If you see him before I'm done sending my message could you tell him I will be right out?" Saito asks Jacob.

"No problem Saito. I was just about to head to the shelter and check on everyone. If I run into him i'll make sure I send him this way. After you are done come join us. You can see the messenger bird returning from anywhere in the village, so we will see it return when the princess has replied" Jacob says. He wanted to make sure Saito got a little time to relax before he needed to leave again.

"Thank you very much Jacob. I'll see you in a little bit after I finish up" Saito tell him.

Saito goes inside the tower and starts writing his letter to the princess. He tells her all the information he learned about Wardes, everything Guiche, Tabitha, and Kirche told him as well as the messenger bird that arrived in Tarbes before he got there to warn the Duke.

Saito knew it had to be someone in that meeting that sent that bird and the logical choice was Wardes after he heard about him from his friends from the academy. Right as he was finishing up his letter to the princess a knock came to the door.

"Come in" Saito said. As he glanced up from sealing his letter with his new royal guard stamp he saw Siesta's father John enter into Jacob's tower.

"Good morning Saito, I see you are feeling better" John says to Saito.

"Yes I feel much better then I did last night. Probably look a lot better to. I felt like crap after that was over." Saito says

"I can understand that, you fought hard yesterday and we are all grateful for what you did for us" John says incredibly proud at what the young man has accomplished already. "So Siesta said you wanted to talk to me? If it's about the recovery of the town they are already making plans on what is going to be rebuilt first at the shelter" says John wondering what Saito wanted to talk about with him.

"No sir, this doesn't have to do with the rebuild. I wanted to talk to you about something else. Do you want to go for a walk for a little bit?" Saito asked. Now he was starting to get nervous and his mind was racing. He planned out what he wanted to say to John but now he needed some fresh air to clear his mind and get his thoughts in order.

"Sure, that sounds like a good idea, we can get a better look at what will need to be done with a little walk around the village" says John, letting Saito let out a breath of relief.

As John and Saito walked through the town Saito was awfully quiet for someone who requested to talk to someone else.

"Saito, are you alright?" John asks him "I don't think I can recall someone asking to speak to someone else then being silent on the whole walk" John lets out a chuckle which breaks Saito from his deep thought on how to talk to John.

"Oh yeah, sorry about that, I was lost in thought trying to figure out how I want to say this to you." he says to John.

"Hmm, say what? You know me pretty well Saito even though we haven't spent a ton of time together. Ask whatever you like of me, you don't have to be shy around me"

This made Saito relax quite a bit. Taking a cue from John, Saito finally started talking instead of just thinking.

"Sir, you know how much I care about Siesta right?" Saito asks the man, hoping he doesn't have a problem with them being together.

"Yes Saito, I know you care a great deal about Siesta. You have shown that before I even know who you were when you saved her from that Count and the tax collector. I know you are not one to let others suffer but i've seen how you two are together. You make each other happy and it's great to see." John says to him.

"Thank you sir, I'm glad you can see that. The reason I am bringing this up to you is i'm starting to realize how much my actions are effecting everyone and everything around me. Taking on the Count, the tax collector, becoming a royal guard. I could feel the contempt and hate from a lot of people in the royal capitol when I was standing in court and these were people not identified as traitors. I now realize being around me is probably going to get quite dangerous and I don't want Siesta or your family to get caught up in this, but I can't deny what I feel. I love your daughter very much sir. I haven't told her that I love her yet but I want to before I leave again today and I want to ask her to marry me." John was a little stunned by this. Not because he wanted to marry Siesta he figured this was going to happen eventually he just didn't think it would be so soon. "But I am torn sir, I know I love her and want to be with her but I don't want to put her or your family in harms way. I know if people find out about her or you guys they might target you for kidnapping or worse and I would rather be alone and be sure you and your family are safe then risk any of you."

John wasn't quite sure how to respond to Saito. He wanted Siesta to be happy but understood what Saito was getting at. This young man was already starting to change everything around him and he would certainly be making enemies especially with the nobility, with the exception of a select few, who saw him as nothing but a commoner causing problems for their rule. John knew Siesta loved Saito it was obvious and Saito trained the knights in the village to be much better then your average knights. He decided he would leave this up to Siesta and back any decision she made because he wanted his daughter to be happy.

"Saito, I understand what you are getting at. This world can be cruel and unjust. You are starting to change that and you are going to be making enemies. Just because you are changing things doesn't mean you should stop living also." John says to the young man "it doesn't matter how much you change the world if you are not happy with the world you live in. There will always be risks in life. If you wouldn't have come along, we would still be worrying about most nobles in this country and Siesta would already be lost to us to someone like Count Mott who see us as nothing but property. You should tell Siesta how you feel and let her make that decision. I will back my daughter up no matter what she decides. If you are asking for my blessing then you certainly have it. There is no one I can see making her as happy as you make her." John says to Saito.

"Thank you sir, I needed a talk like that. It makes me happy you have the confidence in me to give me your blessing. Let's head toward the shelter so I can talk to Siesta."

"That sounds like a good idea. Maybe soon i'll be calling you son instead of Saito or young man" the old man laughs.

"I hope so too sir, I really do" Saito says

John and Saito walked towards the shelter in relative silence after that. Saito wondering what exactly to say to Siesta while John was thinking about his daughter. He was 99% certain Siesta would face any danger to be with Saito. It made him both proud and scared that she would. After about a 10 minutes walk they found themselves coming up on the shelter. Kirche, Tabitha, Guiche, and Momo were all just outside the shelter eating some breakfast.

"Good morning darling" Kirche says to Saito

"Good morning Saito" Tabitha, Guiche and Momo say to him.

"Good morning everyone. Thanks again for all your help yesterday. I don't think we could have pulled that off without your guys help" Saito says to his friends from the academy.

"So what's on the agenda for today Saito?" asks Guiche

"I need to wait for a messanger bird from the princess, make sure everyone in the shelter is doing good, and have a talk with Siesta. I have to leave right after the messanger bird returns." Saito tells them

"You're leaving again already darling? We haven't had any time to catch up since you left me at the academy." Kirche says to him.

"We can catch up as soon as I'm back Kirche. I have to spend some time with Siesta and I need to go to Albion for the princess, but I will only be gone for a few days and when I return i'll be heading for the capitol. We can catch up when I get back." he says to the Germanian. Still completely oblivious to the fact she wants some alone time with him.

Saito gets up and thanks everyone again for coming to help him and heads into the shelter to find Siesta. As he walks in he is stopped by everyone who sees him to thank him for getting rid of the Duke and everything he is doing for commoners everywhere. Saito doesn't mind the praise but the only thing on his mind right now is Siesta. He knows if he doesn't talk to her soon he's going to be a bumbling, stuttering mess asking her. His talk with her father gave him the courage he needed but he is slowly losing that courage the longer it takes to get Siesta alone. After talking to, what seemed like the whole village, Saito finally spots her putting fresh bandages on one of the injured Knights of Tarbes. No matter what she is doing you can always tell how gentle and caring she is. After she is done redressing the soliders wound, she sees Saito standing there waiting for her.

"Hey Saito! I just finished up, are you done doing what you needed to do?" Siesta asks him. Hoping he is done so she can spend every second possible with him before he leaves. She was devistated when he left the first time but after talking to her cousin, Jessica, she realized she was right. If she sulked around all the time Saito was gone, he would probably never want her when he returned. Being in love meant trusting the one you were in love with and he promised he would always return to her, and even bought her an incredibly expensive hawk that could always find the two of them so they could stay in touch no matter where he went to.

"Yes Siesta, i'm done with what I needed to do. Do you think we could take a walk so we could talk for a bit?" Saito asks

"Absolutely Saito" she exclaims grabbing his hand and dragging him out of the shelter. There were quite a few jealous and angry females at Siesta. After getting to sit in Saito's lap after the battle yesterday, then having him rest on her chest to sleep, and now holding hands and going for a walk. It wasn't that they didn't like Siesta, they were all just jealous at the attention Saito gave to her. If things went the way Saito hoped, they were going to be a lot angrier when they returned.

As Saito and Siesta walked around the town holding hands Saito was trying to figure out what to say. Well, what to say was easy he just didn't know where to start. Should he tell her he loves her first or should he asks if she was willing to take the risk of being with someone who had made so many enemies and will probably make even more? As Saito contemplated this Siesta could tell he was thinking very hard about something. She didn't want to pry but thought maybe some words of encouragment from her might help him ask what is on his mind.

"Are you okay Saito? It looks like you are thinking hard about something? You know you can talk to me about anything? If you don't want to talk about it that is fine. I'm here whenever you need me Saito." Siesta tells Saito. Like something just clicked in his brain he stopped walking, turned to Siesta, and looked right into her eyes.

"Siesta, I am finally starting to realize what I am causing in this country. I have been taking out mages like Count Mott and the tax collector. I just took out the Duke of Tarbes. I could feel the hate and contempt coming from some of the nobles in the court who are suppose to be the protectors of the people. I am making a lot of enemies and I have a feeling that number is just going to keep rising. You know that I care about you Siesta. At least I hope you know. Are you sure you want to be with me? If I keep going down the path I am, i'm afraid someone will come after you or your family and I don't want to cause you or your family any pain. Can you live with that Siesta? knowing people might be after you and your family if they ever find out we are together?" Saito asks Siesta. He hopes she says she can handle it because he can't picture himself with anyone who isn't Siesta but he will respect her decision if she doesn't want to put her family or herself in danger. He knew how dangerous it was to be around him already and knew it was going to get worse.

"Saito, no matter where we are in this world there will always be danger. Imagine what would have happened to me if you wouldn't have come here. I would probably be a lifeless shell of myself stuck at Count Mott's to do with as he pleased with no say in the matter. You saved me from him and the tax collector. I would rather face more danger with you by my side then possibly be safe and not be with you. You make me incredibly happy and I want to be with you no matter what dangers we face" Siesta says to Saito.

Saito is happy beyond all measure in his heart. He was hoping she would say yes, but hearing her talk about him like that just reinforced how much he knew he loved her. Now, he was going to tell her he loved her for the first time and show her by asking her to marry him. He didn't even know it was possible to be happy and terrified at the same time but that is exactly how he felt at this moment.

"Good Siesta, it makes me incredibly happy to hear you say that. I also wanted to tell you something that i've never said to anyone Siesta." Saito looks right into her eyes so she knows what he is about to say is the truth. Siesta is looking in his eyes wondering what Saito is going to say. She gets lost in his eyes everytime she stares into them but this time all she could think about was what he was going to say.

"Siesta..." he takes her hands and locks their fingers together, facing directly at her looking deep into her soul. "I love you Siesta. I have never had feelings like this for anyone before. Just seeing your face or you smile or you kindness makes me smile. The way our hands seem to melt together, the way our bodies fit perfectly together when we sleep, and the way your lips feel every time I kiss them." Saito can see the tears forming in her eyes as he is saying this to her. He thinks they are happy tears but she hasn't said anything even after he finished speaking. Now he is nervous he said that too soon and she is going to run away from him thinking he is going too fast.

"Saito... I love you too. I have loved you for a long time and it makes me so happy that you feel the same way that I do" Siesta says to him. Finally relived that she knows he feels the same way. She thought because of all the women trying to get his attention that he would get bored with her or thought someone else was prettier. He was making all her dreams comes true when he told her how he felt.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and he places his hands around her waist. They brough each other in close for a passionate kiss. This kiss wasn't like all the other ones they shared. Those were usually short little kisses of affection that most couples just starting to get to know each other do. This one was intense, passionate, and even a little lustful when their hands started roaming over each others bodies. Saito had to pull himself together before he got lost in that kiss and went farther then he wanted to.

"Siesta...I didn't just want to tell you how much I loved you. I also wanted to show you how much I love you" as Saito reaches inside one of his pouches and pulls out a small black box. He gets down on one knee and opens the box. Inside the box is a beautiful ring. A platinum band with 5 different colored diamonds in it. Siesta couldn't believe how beautiful the ring was and was about to burst with happiest when she knew what he was going to ask her.

"Siesta, since you helped me recover and gave me a place to be. I have grown to love you more and more each day. I can't picture my life without you in it and I want you to be in my life forever. Will you marry me?" Saito asks Siesta tears streaming down her faces as he asks her to marry him.

"YES SAITO! YES! I will defintely marry you!" Siesta says not holding back her tears and embracing him as tight as she could, not ever wanting to let go.

"Would you do me the honor of wearing this then, my beautiful fiance?" Saito asks Siesta. She realizes she was so excited he never even put the ring on her finger.

"It would be my honor future husband" Siesta says half joking with him but fully excited he wanted to marry her. She knew how many other women wanted Saito and it used to make her nervous. Knowing that he loved her just as much made all that worry disappear and replace it with nothing but happiness. She would be with Saito forever no matter what that meant or what she had to do to be by his side.

"Can you do me a favor Siesta?" asks Saito. "I want you to train with the knights when I'm not here. It would make me feel a hundred times better if you were not only with some knights while I wasn't here but also that you learned how to defend yourself even if it's just a little bit. Then once you are trained enough, when I leave for monster hunting or a mission that isn't secret you can accompany me and we won't have to be apart." Saito asks her

"Yes Saito, I will train with the knights while you are gone if you will promise me to train me when you are here and that you will always come back to me." Siesta says to Saito

"I promise I will always come back to you Siesta. No matter what, nothing will ever keep me from getting back to you." Saito says. Looking deep into her soul so she knows he means every word of it.

"Then lets go back to the shelter so I can tell my family the good news! I want to start planning our wedding right away!" Siesta says making Saito smile.

"I can't wait to marry you Siesta. Lets go back. I need to get ready to leave for Albion too." Saito says

As they get back to the shelter Siesta runs up to her family. She shows them the ring and tells them what just happened. Everyone is very excited and shouts of joy can be heard coming from where she is talking to her family. Jessica comes right up to Saito and gives him a big hug.

"Looks like you are going to offically become family now Saito." Jessica says to him "Now Siesta will be really mad if you send us girls at the inn more lingerie" Jessica chuckles at him.

"Yeah, i'm probably going to have to get you guys something different the next time I travel. Unless of course Siesta is there and she picks out something like that for you guys" Saito laughs knowing that is never going to happen.

As the congratulations die down from the villagers there are obviously some people who don't think this is good news. Lily doesn't seem to thrilled with the idea of Saito and Siesta getting married. Thinking that Siesta was just trying to tie him down before he could find someone he loved more then her. Kirche was a little upset because she never really got to spend time with Saito. At first it was Louise who always kept him away and now that she knew he was alive and well it hurt knowing he was already in love with someone. Momo was conflicted, it was always nice to see two people in love but she was starting to see him in a new light. Especially after seeing him for the first time in month on his Hell Stallion. She can't remember the last time she got a feeling like she did when he took off his cloak and revealed the real Saito. Guiche was happy for Saito for two reasons. First being that he was obviously happy marrying Siesta but also because now all those fair maidens Saito was wooing would now be up for grabs for Guiche. Tabitha had her same blank expression but gave a slight smile that only Saito noticed when she heard the news. Knowing that if anyone deserved to be happy it was Saito.

While Tarbes was in a festive mood...

Back at the capitol...

Princess Henrietta had just received a messenger bird from the village of Tarbes. As she retrieved the bird and began to read the letter sent to her by Saito, a very bad feeling started to form in the pit of her stomach. If everything Saito wrote was true, and she had no reason to doubt it wasn't, she had just sent her long time friend, captain and vice captain of her musket squad into enemy territory with a traitor. After going over everything Saito wrote she had no doubt that Wardes had to be the traitor. She was also fairly certain he was the one who broke Forquet out of prison. Now, he was on his way to Albion to retrieve a letter that he could use against Tristania to end any hope they have of forging an alliance with pretty much any nation. She hurried to her mother to relay the information and get her advice on what to do next.

"Your highness we need to speak, it is urgent" Henrietta says.

"Of course my daughter, what do you need to speak of?" the queen asks her daughter. Thinking she probably had news of Saito and the siege at Tarbes.

"First mother, Saito and his friends have taken the Fortress at Tarbes."

"That is very good to hear my daughter but we expected Saito to succeed so what did you need to talk about that is urgent? Surely that was not it?" the queen asks

"No mother, after Saito left he was traveling with some of the people he made friends with at the academy like Guiche, Tabitha, etc... when they were resting on their way to Tarbes the academy students told him about Viscount Wardes. He did not take a vacation to visit Louise. He went to the academy, sent in a commoner to get Louise and told her you gave him a mission to track Saito down." Henrietta says to the queen. This caused a little concern on the queen face because she had only sent Robert and his spy team to find Saito.

"Not only that but the only time Viscount Wardes would talk to any of the people from the academy when they departed were questions about Saito. His accomplishments, training, experience and he even knew things about Saito that were never included in any reports given out here like how he was the one who actually captured Forquet. Additionally, before Saito and his friends arrived at the village of Tarbes, a messenger bird was sent from the capitol to the Duke of Tarbes and he immediately attacked the village. My guess would be Viscount Wardes warned him of Tarbes and he launched a preemptive strike but at the very least there was another traitor in our court meeting when we discussed Reconquista." the princess says to the queen.

This is making the queen very nervous. She knew a lot of nobles were unhappy with some of the changes she wanted to make and many of them were down right despicable but she didn't have the support she needed yet to get rid of them. A lot of that support she was counting on from the people after Saito was no longer a name the nobility could ignore. She might have to take a long, hard look at the nobility of her country and find out who really could be trusted. She thought Wardes was loyal but all the evidence said otherwise.

"I belive you are correct daughter. It seems Reconquista has infiltrated even deeper then we could have ever imagined. If Wardes is a traitor and he is on his way with Louise to get your letter back we might be in serious jeporady. I didn't want to do this this soon but we might have to tell our allies and our enemies that Saito is your Gandalfr. I wanted to wait until much later to do that because everyone will be after him once that is announced, but I don't see any other way to show we have power and keep away the traitors. First we can hope that Saito can make it to Albion and retrieve your letter. Louise and company only have a one day head start on Saito and hopefully they are still in LaRoche awaiting the airship to Albion. If not we will figure out what to do after Saito returns and gives us his report." the queen says to her, hoping to relive some of the worry and stress she can see on her daughters face.

"Very well your highness. I will send Saito a reply immediately and tell him to make all haste to LaRoche. Hopefully he can make it there, retrieve my letter, and bring that traitor Wardes to justice." Henrietta says as she runs off to send Saito back his new orders.

`I hope Saito can help Henrietta, that girl has been through enough. Being royalty itself is such a pain and her supposed friend, Louise, acts just like every other noble around Henrietta when all she wants is a friend. I hope Saito makes it back and can be that person Henrietta needs. Someone to treat her like a normal person and not a princess` the queen thinks to herself.

And that's Chapter 1 (techincally 13 I guess since it a continuation of another story) Let me know what you guys think...it was obviously only about Tarbes and the queen/princesses reaction to the information Saito obtained but i'm not 100% certain where i'm going with Louise, Wardes, Forquet, Reconquista, etc...so i wanted to get the relationship with Siesta out of the way in the first chapter of my story...If you are confused on how Saito got his position or any of the things about Wardes I mentioned that you didn't read...you need to go read GatsuBerk's story Discarded...this is a continuation of that story...my story picks up right at the end of chapter 12 so go read that for reference...i'll try to release an update character sheet for Saito every once in awhile with his abilities and equipment it will become very useful when I start revealing what powers i'm going to give him for being a True Gandalfr...hope you enjoyed the start of my version of Discarded and hope you continue reading...if people like it i'll continue the story
