The Misguided Adventures of Rapunzle

Part Three

When Duo arrived at Zechs' castle, he was still invisible to the people that were working in the courtyard. He climbed off his horse when he reached the stables and put away his horse. He walked to the entrance of the castle and started to slide off the guard on the left's pants. When the guard's pants were to his ankles, the guard on the right noticed it.

The guard on the right said, "Hey Jim, your pants are off."

"What are you talking about Dennis," the guard on the left asked.

"Your pants are at your ankles, look," the guard on the right, said. The guard on the left looked down and tried to pull up his pants and run at the same time. He fell down the stairs as he was doing this. The guard on the right was laughing as he was trying to help the man up.

Duo slipped in, as the guards were too busy entertaining themselves with the pants trick. "They fall for that every time," Duo laughed as he was walking down the hall. He got to the Main Hall's door that leads to the court and he went in. There in the Court was Catherine, Lu, Zechs, Trowa, Quatre, and Wu Fei. Catherine was doing her trick with knives and that gave Duo an idea to make his presence known. He went up to Catherine and grabbed one of her knives that she had in her hand. He then started to flip the knife many times in the air.

"Duo Maxwell! I know that it is you! Come show yourself now! I bet you did the pants joke to get in here! I don't think your jokes are very funny and what if some maniac came in here to kill the king or one of the princesses," Catherine screamed.

"Well, you were right. I'm here and what if I did do the pants trick. At least I have a sense of humor. Did you say one of the princesses is here? Where's the other one," Duo said.

Zechs raised his hands and said, "Enough! Duo show yourself and I will tell you everything."

Just as King Zechs commanded Duo took off his cape.

"Princess Hilde left earlier this afternoon to dethrone the witch, Queen Dorothy. So tell me now what have you found out about the witch," Zechs asked.

"Di…did you say Hilde,"Duo stuttered. His fears were coming true. His best friend was in way over her head in a pile of dirt.

Zechs then replied, "Yes, I didn't stutter but you never did either so what's the matter?"

"Well, I know Hilde and Lu. I told you my parents died but I never told you how. My father was killed in battle and my mother…well, I think Dorothy, Hilde and Lu's stepmother, killed her to get to the throne. That is what I believe. I left to go find some answers and well I went back into my mother's room. There I found a note for me, from my mother. Also there were other things she said in the letter. She told me that I was engaged to marry Hilde and that Lu was going to be engaged to the prince of the Sanq Kingdom. Zechs that is you," Duo said.

"You say you know my sister and me but I don't remember a Duo in the castle," said the intrigued Lu.

"Well, my real name is Mathew Maxwell. I now go by Duo because…" Duo said but Lu interrupted.

"You and my sister were both a pair of terrors. You both liked to torment people and I guess you still do, Duo."

Duo then replies, "Ya got me there. So Hilde is out roaming the country side without protection from the witch."

"Not exactly. I put a protection spell on her. The witch can't get her but anyone else can. Since she left I have been keeping my eye on her. She is safe for now," Trowa replied in a monotone voice.

"I'm going to follow her to make sure she is safe. So I must know where she is located," Duo said.

"Duo, you are allowed to go in order to protect your future bride," Zechs informs Duo.

Duo simply replies, "She is not my bride. The only way she will be so if she wants me to be her husband. It is her choice and anyways I know how she is."

"Well, Duo let's go so you can start keeping a close eye on her. Grab on to my arm and I will take you to her," Trowa says.

Duo takes a hold of Trowa's arm and they both disappear. When they reappeared they were just feet away from Hilde. Who, at that time was sitting at the bottom of a tree.

Trowa asks, "Duo, what are you planning on doing? Are you planning on appearing to her or are you going to sit back and watch?"

"I'm planning on not revealing myself yet but I am going to watch and if she gets into trouble then I will help her. I know her too well. She will not like anyone including me interfering with her life. She is an independent women and she was like that when we were young," Duo says.

"Ok. I will leave you now. Tomorrow I will come back and give you some food," Trowa says and he leaves. When he reappears at the castle he says to himself, "They are made for each other."

Back where the tree was…

Duo was watching Hilde eat an apple and bread that Relena gave her. It was just enough for the days trip. Duo thinks to himself, "She is so beautiful. I can't believe how gorgeous she became. Hilde is a grown woman now but she is still the same Hilde I have always known, stubborn as ever. She has changed so much since the last time I saw her. I hope one day we can be together. I also hope one day you will let me help you."

"Hey you. I want to talk to you. Can I have a piece of bread," Duo asks as he is sitting above her on a tree branch.

"Who the hell is there," Hilde asks. She says to herself, "I can't believe I am talking to a…a tree!"

"Never mind that. I'm here to help you, girly."

"I don't need any help from anyone especially people I can't damn see. I don't like it when I can't see people that say they are helping me but won't appear. Damn it appear to me," Hilde screamed.

"I will appear to you in due time but in the meantime I decided to bother you. So how is your sister," he replies.

"Are you working for the witch," she asks.

"Working for that witch, I think not. You should just know I am here to help and also to drive you crazy. I already know you don't like any help so I am just going to drive you crazy," Duo says.

"So who sent you," Hilde asks.

"I can't say for now because it will endanger the people who sent me. All I can do is drive you mad," he replies.

"Well, drive me mad all you want I am still not going to give in and let you help me," Hilde says.

Duo thinks to himself, "One of these times you will be in trouble and I will be there to help you."

Duo jumps down and asks again, "Can I have some bread? I am starving." He takes her silence as a yes. He grabs some bread and started to eat it.

"The bread is floating by itself. I must be going crazy. The witch has something to do with this or he did say that he could not tell me who sent him because they might get hurt. I wonder who sent him. No, I think I'm just going crazy," Hilde says to herself.

Hilde got up from where she was sitting and started to walk away. Duo started to follow her. "All right now let's get this show on the road, eh, Hilde," Duo asked but she just ignored him. Duo chuckled a bit and says, "Well, I guess your not talking to me."

"I'm not talking to you because I think that you're not real! Why am I talking to myself," Hilde sighed as she lifts up her arms.

Meanwhile in the Romafeller Castle

"Why is everyone just standing around here for? I want you all to go into the various parts of this kingdom and find them and tell Ryan, my head guard, to come see me. I need to see him immediately," Dorothy screams. "I can't believe that they got out of the tower. I wonder who was able to get them out." Just then Dorothy hears a knock. "Come in," she tells that person.

"Your Majesty, you sent for me," Ryan asks.

Dorothy replies, "I want you to go help find the princesses. They have escaped from the tower and I need them found. When you find them please use a messaging pigeon to contact me and stay with them. Then I will message you back on a place to meet. I need to find these girls and fast."

"Yes your Majesty. Is that it," Ryan says.

"Yes that is all. You may go," Dorothy says as she dismisses him from her room. "Soon my little girls you will die," Dorothy says to herself.

Later that night at the Sanq Castle

"Lu, why aren't you eating your food? Are you worried about your sister," Zechs asked.

Lu replied, "Yes, Zechs, I am worried about her. She is so stubborn and with Duo with her I still worry about them both."

"I do know how Duo is and I am sure he will take good care of her and himself. I saw in his eyes how worried he was about Hilde and I know that he has some kind of feelings towards her. I know he will do everything in his power to protect her from harm," Zechs says.

"I just pray that they both stay alive," Lu replied.

Meanwhile in the forest somewhere

"Will the voices in my damn head stop," Hilde yells.

Duo replies, "Stop what? I am I driving you mad yet?"

"Yes! Damn it! Why am I talking to myself," she raises her hands and sighs.

"You know damn well that I'm real, Hilde. I know too much about you," he chuckles.

Hilde then asks, "I don't know what the hell your talking about and why in God's name am I talking the air! It's getting weirder and weirder each minute."

"Because you're not talking to the air. I can tell you everything about yourself. Do you want me to tell you now or later Hilde-girl," he replied.

She started to think to herself, "Only a few people knows my childhood nick name. I wonder…hm."

"Hey Hilde-girl do you want me to tell you now or later," Duo asked again.

"Grr…You can tell me now if you want to." was all she said

He then sighed, "I'll tell you only a few things. I know that you had a childhood friend that you played with and his name was Mathew Maxwell. One time Mathew and you were playing in the pond and he pretended he drowned. You were so mad at him for days because of it. And when your mother died you cried on his shoulder. There were a lot more unhappy days after that. Mathew's mother died right after yours and he left to go find the killer. When you found out that he was leaving you, you cried for hours. He still hasn't really forgiven himself for leaving the way he did. He loves you. If and when he finds out about your stepmother I think he would personally kick her ass. I can tell you more later." He then asked, "When are we going to stop to rest?"

"When I'm good and ready. Will that voice please stop," Hilde screamed.

Then she thought to herself," I do like that voice though but it is my imagination playing tricks on me. I do wish there was a man behind that voice. Wait what am I saying. I don't like boys or even men. They all ruined my life. Mathew was the start of it and Daddy was the last. I didn't think I could have trusted Trowa but I did and I'm glad I did. Now this voice seems nice. How does he know so much about Mathew and me? He just told me that Mathew loves me but what does he mean by love, a friend or more?"

Hilde stops and starts to set up camp. When she had the last thing done, which was the fire, she went to bed.

After she went to bed Duo came up and sat beside her. "I had a feeling that she is being watched and not just by me but someone else. So I must keep my cloak on. I won't let anything happen to you my angel," he thought to himself.

Just as he was thinking this Ryan was in an area that Duo couldn't see him.
