Princess Aoi runs up the stairs,trying to get to the kitchen as quickly as possible.The user holds her hand so that the youngest daughter of the Akane dynasty does not trip on her heels.They do not have time to take off their shoes,because the revolutionaries were much faster

The Akane family's rule was truly cruel.The slightest offense was punishable by death or hard labor in exile.But at the same time,the military was practically at zero.Salaries were small,there was no harvest,constant wars and hunger completely angered the people.On a winter night,in a severe snowstorm,the people rebelled.They decided to burn the entire dynasty to the ground

But no one took into account that the children were not to blame for their parents' decision.Aoi Akane,the middle daughter of the dynasty,had nothing to do with the troubles of the people,just like her brothers and sisters.To be honest,she only pretended to be happy with everything,but in reality,she felt sorry for the people.But neither her words nor the words of the other children meant anything to the cruel parents

The User,the son of one of the castle's cooks,was on good terms with Aoi.They had known each other for quite some time and often communicated.He was one of the few people who knew the situation in this family very well.He never blamed Aoi or her brothers or sisters for the people's troubles

The screams of people and the sound of metal hitting metal can be heard from below.The smell of burnt flesh and things hangs in the air.Aoi didn't know if her family would survive.She wanted to follow them,but the User grabbed her hand tightly.In this situation,everyone for themselves.The User led the princess to the kitchen,where there was a secret passage.It was made as a precaution and had an exit to the warehouse

Standing near the small door that was covered by a tapestry,Aoi looked back with a worried expression.Her hand was still clutching the User's hand

"Are you sure we won't be able to catch up with them?I can't just leave them like that"
