A Kitsune in remnant

Chapter 39: The princess’s feelings



POV WEISS

It's only been a day since I've been kidnapped, yet I still remember much of it. The cold floors, the dusty air, even how dark it was.

All I could do at the time was cry, cry to anyone, my mother, my sister, my brother, even my horrible father.

Yet none of them came to save me, the only ones who were with me, was Aiko, and the two Ace ops.

Sure, the Ace ops were strong, but they couldn't do anything. They had their weapons taken away, and all of us were trapped.

Luckily, or unlucky, the people who captured us called my father, using me as ransom for money.

I wasn't happy that I was being saved, since that would mean, I would have to leave behind the Ace ops, and Aiko.

I hated that, I hated how I could be sold off, like some object, while abandoning the other three.

I wanted to escape, I wanted to fight, but I could do no such thing. Until I saw Aiko burning the locks, freeing us from our cage.

After that, I couldn't remember anything else, no moments where I spoke, no conversation, just an empty memory.

But that didn't matter, since it was all in the past. Currently, I was in my room with my nightgown on, I was hugging my knees while looking at my scroll.

I was trying to search for any live feed on the protest down in mantle, but nothing came up. No news of a protest, no news of the white fang, no news of him.

I placed my scroll to the side, laying down on my bed. I soon heard a knock at my door and moved my head away from the door.

"Come in." I said with no emotion, I heard the doorknob spin, and the sound of shoes hitting the stone floor. While at the same time I heard wheels of a cart entering as well.

"Oh dear, what's wrong my little snowflake?" Hearing the voice of Klein made me slightly better, but I still felt sad.

"It's.... It's nothing, I'm just tired." Klein sighed and rolled the cart next to my bed, lifting a small cup and poured hot chocolate.

"Something is bothering you, you can tell me what's wrong." I only placed my head in my arms, not wanting to look at him.

"It's just….. I feel useless." I said, slightly shaking from what I was going to say.

"Not only did I get us kidnapped, but Aiko was also the one who faced the guards, risking his life to save mine, and others." I choked back a small sob, I soon felt his hand rubbing my back.

"I felt useless when I saw him, I couldn't do anything." Another sobbed escaped my mouth, while tears dripped from my eyes.

"I want to be strong, I want to stand by his side, I want to help him." I felt Klein gently lift my head, wiping the tears away.

"Little one, let me tell you one thing." He then sneezed, causing his eyes change from red to brown and his personality changed.

"You won't stand by his side crying, get up and grow stronger, to stand by his side." Hearing him say that I wiped my eyes and gave a smile.

"You're right, I can't just be a weak damsel." I gently took the cup he offered me and took a small sip.

"I need to speak to Father." Hearing me ask that, Klein became hesitant at first, but he sighed and nodded his head.

"Stubborn like your grandfather." He said with a smile, he took the cart away and began to walk out the door, he stopped midway out the door.

"Please get dressed, I'll let your father know you wish to talk to him." He then closed the door, as soon as the door clicked shut, I stood up and made my way to the closet.

Once opening the double doors, I began to prepare myself for the mental battle I was about to face against my father.

I soon chose to wear a white dress with frills on the edges, while a slow wearing a small jacket that had the Schnee family symbol on the back.

I then sat in front of my mirror, pulling out a small hair band to tie my hair. Once tying it, I added some pins to make sure it was secure.

Finally, I wore a pair of dress shoes with snowflakes running along the sides of the shoe.

"You can do this Weiss, you've studied multiple books, have practiced mental battles against father, you are ready to break free." I spoke to my reflection.

I then stepped out of my room, making my way to my father's office, I passed by multiple servants, who all stood to the side and bowed as I passed.

Once arriving in front of the door that led to my father's office, I was hesitant to knock. But I was close to earn my freedom, I just had to talk with him, and I can escape this place called home.

I knocked on the door slowly and waited for him to allow me to enter. After waiting in silence for who knows how long, I heard him call out to me to enter.

Once I opened the door, I made sure to look up at father eyes. One of the first silent rules when having a discussion, is to always be observant, study what the reaction of the person, thus, being careful in what to say.

"So, Klein has told me you wish to request something from me." He said while looking at me with a curious look.

"Yes, I wish to become a huntress." Hearing me say that I noticed how he stiffened for only a second but relaxed at the next.

"I refuse, you are the next heiress to our family company, I don't want you running around to play some, make believe fairy tail." He said, he pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance.

"But father, it is what I want, I wish to become a huntress." He then turned to face me, trying to intimidate me, but I remained resolute.

Seeing that I was affected by his intimidation, he only grumbled to himself.

"Still, when I say no, I say no. P have matters to attend to." He said and waved me off, I could only frown and curtsy, leaving his office I began to mutter to myself.

Was I going to let this be the only time I ask him of this? No, I will continue asking him to let me be a huntress, after all, everyone has a limit.

"So, he said no?" I spun around to see Whitley with a frown on his face, I didn't want to bother with him, so I silently left.

"It's not a good idea sister, father will keep rejecting your request." He said while following me, trying to get a reaction out of me.

I decided to head to the library to start studying about Grimm, since knowledge is power.

After finding any books about Grimm, I placed them next to me on one of the tables and opened the first book.

Yet as I flipped through the book, I saw Whitley to the side, staring at me with his innocent smile.

After a few minutes of the sound of turning pages, he stood up and walked around a corner on one of the shelves, leaving me alone to read.

I sighed once he left and soon began to read in peace, but half an hour later, he comes back with snacks in his hands, and a cup full of warm milk.

He then began to make obnoxious noises, while chewing loudly. It was hard enough for me to stand his presence, and now this?

The page that I was about to turn began to crumble in my hand, then ripped out of the book.

"What, what is that you want?!" I shouted at him, but he smiled innocently and pretended to not understand what he was doing.

"I don't understand, I am just curious on what you are doing." He said while taking a bite of the snack.

I was already annoyed with my father denying my request, but with my brother following me around and pretending to act innocent was almost pushing me over the edge.

"You know what you are doing, leave me alone so I can study." He only chuckled at my words and continued to eat in front of me.

"But I just want to observe sister, is their anything wrong with that?" He said with an arrogant smile.

I could only growl at him and do nothing, if I caused him any harm, he would tell father, saying I was the one who attacked him for no reason.

Even if I told the truth, he would believe Whitley over me, since he only believes what is in front of him, not the full story.

The best I could do was close the book, take the stack of books with me. Seeing me leave the library.

Whitly also stood up, leaving the snacks and drink behind. He began to buzz around me like a fly, he was annoying and was pestering me too much.

"Where are you going sister, can I follow you, may I know where you are taking the books?" His presence was hard to tolerate with all the questions he was spewing.

'I swear to oum, I will throw a book at him!' I mentally screamed, as we nearly arrived at my room, he noticed where I was heading

"Ah, you wish to study in private, then I shall take my leave, sister." He flashed one more smile, I only sighed after he left, knowing that I could finally read in peace.

After entering my room, I locked the door and placed the stack of books on my desk, and opened the book I was reading.

But after a few minutes, I couldn't focus at all, since I felt there was something distracting me, but I didn't know what it was.

I decided to scroll through my scroll again, to see if their were any news of the white fang protest.

After a few minutes of scrolling, I found the news. Behind them, was a groups of Faunus protesting, and in the front, was him.

Aiko had a sign in his hand, shouting and leading the protest. While his sister was holding a funny sign, I couldn't help but giggle at her error.

But I soon began to focus more on Aiko, his eyes showed determination. He was willing to risk his life to help his people, wanting to unite both humans and Faunus.

I wanted to be there as well, to show support to his dream. He showed me that both races could get along, that we could support one another.

"That we can....love one another." I whispered out loud, I gently touched the screen, where Aiko's face is.

I could feel my heart race when I see him, and I already knew I was in love with him. It may be childish, but it's what I feel after he saved me.

He was my light that pulled me from my broken home, he made me feel happy after he saved me.

I would do anything I could to help him, but not now. Now, I had to study as much as I could, not only do I have to break free from this home, but gain the streamgth to stand by his side.

Once the news had ended, I took a deep breath on what I was about to do. I held the scroll next to my head letting the call get through.

"Weiss, is there something wrong?" Hearing my sister's voice after so long, I was scared and nervous to ask.

I was about to hang up the call, until I saw Aiko flashing a smile at me during our dance at the ball.

"Prove to the Faunus you are not your father, don't let your family hold you down." Remembering those words, I felt like a burden was lifted off me.

"Winter, I want you to train me." I said with determination, Winter was silent for a few seconds, I was nervous when she didn't reply.

"Why should I?" She said with a concerned voice.

"Because, I dont want to become fathers puppet, I want to restore our family's honor my way." Hearing this, I could tell Winter was smiling.

"I'll be coming home in three days, be prepared, for I won't go easy on you." The line went dead, and I sighed.

I looked at the mirror in my room and walked towards it, making eye contact with my reflection.

"You know what you are doing is risky, father will not allow it." My reflection spoke at me, I only stared at it silently, not bothering to answer.

"He'll try to force us to stay, can't you see that?!" It screamed, wanting me to stand down.

"So what? Just because he uses words, all I need to do is use force to break free." I replied, the reflection soon calmed down and smiled.

"Grandfather would have been proud, it's a shame he is not here." I could only agree with my reflection, but I spun around.

"We'll honor him, by fixing this family from the outside." I looked behind me one last time, seeing the old me, only to see the reflection that the mirror showed.

I was filled with determination, to fix my family.

(A/N) Sorry for the late update, when it comes to moments like this, I have to take the time to make sure I have it right.

So, how was it? Any feedback I need to know? If so, please let me know.
