Mito gathered all his friends in the great hall of the palace, the morning light came through the windows, the guards were there, Raider, Rambo, Baabun, Piner, Thiky, they waited, curious, Mito spoke “I have something important to tell you”, Raider looked at him “what’s important?”, Mito said “tomorrow is the Princess’s birthday”, Rambo opened his eyes wide “really?
How do you know?”, Mito replied “I saw a photo in her office, on the back it said April 15, that’s tomorrow”, Thiky nodded “we have to prepare a surprise for her”, Mito said “yes, here’s the plan, tomorrow you will prepare the food, the juices, everything needed, Raider, you will distract her, walk with her”, Raider jumped “with the Princess?”, Mito said “yes, a problem?”, Raider shook his head “not me, Mito, it’s you who should go”, Mito frowned “I don’t have experience with that”, Rambo laughed “you’ll get it then, in your marriage”, Mito looked at him “I will never get married”, Raider said “we don’t say never, we say maybe or I don’t think so”, Mito repeated “for me, never”, Baabun stepped forward “you accept, Mito?”, Mito sighed “I accept”.
Then they discussed the details, Thiky asked “who will prepare the food?”, Mito replied “Rambo and Baabun, you will prepare the dishes, the juices, the cakes”, Rambo nodded “we’ll do our best”, Baabun jumped for joy “I’m going to make a huge cake!”, Piner asked “and me, what do I do?”, Mito said “you, you will decorate the palace, the garlands, the flowers, the candles”, Piner nodded “understood”, Thiky asked “and me?”, Mito said “you, you will watch the surroundings, you never know, Vic could attack”, Thiky nodded “I’ll be careful”, Raider asked “and you, Mito, what do you do?”, Mito took a deep breath “me, I will distract the Princess, I will take her walking, so she doesn’t suspect anything”, Raider smiled “good luck”, Mito looked at him “I’m going to need it”.
The next day, at eight in the morning, Mito wore a black jacket, he looked at himself in the mirror, he wasn’t comfortable, he had never worn something so formal, Raider entered his room, he hid behind the door “come in, Mito, come in”, Mito looked at him “what are you doing here?”, Raider smiled “I wanted to see if you were ready”, Mito sighed “I’m not ready, I don’t know what to do, I don’t know what to say, I don’t know how to behave”, Raider laughed “you’ll manage, be yourself”, Mito looked at him “be myself?
I’m someone cold, distant, I don’t know how to talk to people”, Raider placed his hand on his shoulder “exactly, be yourself, the Princess appreciates you for who you are, not for who you pretend to be”, Mito nodded “alright, I’ll try”.
Mito left his room, he walked to the Princess’s apartments, he knocked on the door, the Princess opened, she wore a simple dress, her hair was down, she smiled when she saw Mito “Mito?
What are you doing here?”, Mito hesitated for a moment, then he spoke “I wanted to talk to you”, the Princess opened the door wide “come in”, Mito entered the room, he looked around, it was a simple room, a bed, a desk, books, flowers, the Princess sat on a chair and invited him to sit “sit down”, Mito sat facing her, he didn’t know what to say, he didn’t know how to start, the Princess looked at him “you wanted to talk to me?”, Mito nodded “yes”, the Princess smiled “about what?”, Mito took a deep breath “I wanted to ask you something”, the Princess raised an eyebrow “what?”, Mito said “do you want to go out with me?”, the Princess looked at him, surprised “go out?”, Mito clarified “yes, take a walk, get some air, change your mind”, the Princess remained silent for a moment, then she smiled “it’s the first time someone has asked me that”, Mito said “aah”, the Princess laughed “don’t worry, it’s a good surprise”, Mito looked at her “so, you accept?”, the Princess nodded “yes, I accept”, Mito stood up “I’ll wait for you outside”, the Princess said “let me have time to change”, Mito nodded “no problem”, he left the room.
Mito went out, he was sweating, Raider approached “she accepted?”, Mito nodded “yes”, Piner looked at him “why are you sweating?”, Mito looked at him “stop asking me useless questions, we’re waiting for her, and hide, you know the plan, if we go out, you prepare, decorate the palace”, they hid.
The Princess came out at ten o’clock, she wore a complete night-blue jeans with a white circle, she was so beautiful, she spun around “how do I look?”, Mito said “aaah”, Raider gave him a sign “magnificent”, Mito said in his heart “if I knew this role was weird, I would never have accepted”, the Princess looked at him “you say?”, Mito said “magnificent”, the Princess smiled “really?”, Mito said “very magnificent, and beautiful, super beautiful, with your hair cut, everything is perfect”, the Princess blushed slightly “thank you”.
She took his hand, Mito was uncomfortable, they walked, people greeted them “nice couple”, the Princess smiled, Mito said in his heart “aah, me, why did I accept this role”, the Princess looked at him “you’re sweating”, Mito said “aah, first time a girl touches my arm”, then he realized what he had just said “no, just myself”, the Princess smiled “you did say, first time a girl touches you”, they were in the park, Mito said “no, I didn’t say that”, the Princess removed her hands “if you’re afraid of girls, we’ll see”, she followed him “I’m going to touch you”, Mito ran “Princess, stop, you’ve gone crazy”, the Princess laughed “I’ve gone crazy?”, Mito ran “sorry”, the Princess jumped on him, they fell, they rolled in the grass, small pink flowers flew around them, the Princess looked at him, Mito looked at her too, then they got up, the Princess said “I’m going to touch you”, Mito looked at the Princess, she played with the flowers, Mito walked behind her.

Mito said “are you hungry?”, the Princess said “yes, I’m hungry, carry me on your back, please”, Mito said “okay”, she climbed on his back, he walked, they arrived, they ate, the Princess said “you told me yesterday, when you told me about your money, that you conquered that, what do you mean?”, Mito looked at her “I finally realized that life is like a book, some chapters are sad, others are happy, no matter what chapter you’re in, you just have to keep writing”, the Princess looked at him “that’s beautiful, what you say”, Mito said “it’s not beautiful, it’s true”, the Princess smiled “you’re someone deep, Mito”, Mito looked away “I’m not deep, I’ve just lived through things”, the Princess asked “what things?”, Mito remained silent for a moment, then he spoke “I lost my family, my city, everything I loved, I lived alone for years, I suffered, I was afraid, I thought about giving up, but I kept going, I kept writing my story”, the Princess placed her hand on his “you’re brave”, Mito shook his head “no, I’m just someone who didn’t have a choice”, the Princess said “everyone has a choice, you chose to live, you chose to fight, you chose to help others”, Mito looked at her “maybe”, the Princess smiled “not maybe, it’s the truth”.
They walked more, they met criminals, Mito beat them, they met bandits, he beat them too, people looked at them “they should get married”, the Princess blushed, Mito said “we’re not together”, people laughed “that’s what they say”, Mito sighed, the Princess laughed.
Around six thirty in the evening, they arrived at the palace, they discussed this day, the Princess said “it was a beautiful day”, Mito said “yes, a very beautiful day”, the Princess looked at him “thank you for accompanying me”, Mito said “it was my duty”, the Princess smiled “it wasn’t a duty, it was a pleasure”, Mito looked away “maybe”, the Princess laughed “you always say maybe”, Mito said “it’s my way of speaking”.
Then night fell, Mito had disappeared, the Princess shouted, she called him, finally, the lights came on, they shouted “surprise!”
The Princess jumped, she looked around, the palace was decorated, garlands, candles, flowers everywhere, a large table with a cake, dishes, juices, all her friends were there, Raider, Rambo, Baabun, Piner, Thiky, they smiled, they shouted “happy birthday!”, the Princess cried, she didn’t expect it, she looked at Mito who had returned, he stood apart, he smiled, the Princess approached him “you organized all this?”, Mito nodded “yes, with everyone’s help”, the Princess looked at him “thank you, thank you so much”, Mito said “it was nothing, you deserve to be happy”, the Princess smiled, she took his hand “thank you, truly”, Mito blushed slightly, Raider approached “so, shall we eat?”, everyone laughed, they sat around the table.
They ate, they drank, they laughed, they told stories, Baabun made jokes “why don’t fish go to school?
Because they already have scales!”, everyone laughed, Thiky told war stories “one day, I faced ten enemy soldiers, I was alone, I just had a sword, I beat them all”, Rambo opened his eyes wide “really?”, Thiky smiled “no, I’m exaggerating, there were five”, everyone laughed, Piner talked about the forest “in the forest, there are magnificent animals, deer, wolves, birds of all colors”, the Princess listened, fascinated “I would like to see that one day”, Piner said “I’ll take you”, Rambo told memories of Kisolo “when we were little, Raider and I, we played near the mango tree, we climbed the branches, we fell, we got up, we laughed”, Raider smiled “that’s true, we were carefree”, the Princess listened, she laughed, she was happy.

Mito watched everyone, he smiled, he was happy too, he had organized this party, he had made the Princess happy, he had succeeded.
After the meal, they danced, they played, they had fun, the Princess danced with Raider, with Rambo, with Baabun, with Thiky, with Piner, then she approached Mito “do you dance?”, Mito shook his head “I don’t know how to dance”, the Princess smiled “I’ll teach you”, she took his hand, Mito was uncomfortable, but he followed her, they danced slowly, Mito stepped on her feet, the Princess laughed “you’re really bad”, Mito said “I told you”, the Princess smiled “it’s okay, the important thing is to try”, they danced a little more, then Mito stopped “I’m tired”, the Princess laughed “alright, we stop”, they sat down, they watched the others dance.
The Princess said “thank you for this day, it was the most beautiful of my life”, Mito looked at her “really?”, the Princess nodded “really, I never had a birthday like this, I never had friends like you”, Mito said “you have them now”, the Princess smiled “yes, I have them now”, Mito said “you deserve to be happy, you deserve to have friends, you deserve everything good in this world”, the Princess looked at him, her eyes shining “you’re someone good, Mito”, Mito looked away “I’m not someone good”, the Princess smiled “you are, even if you don’t believe it”, she placed her head on his shoulder, Mito tensed, but he didn’t push her away, they stayed there, in silence, looking at the stars.
The party continued until late in the night, the candles went out one by one, the guests left one by one, the Princess thanked everyone, she kissed Raider, Rambo, Baabun, Thiky, Piner, then she approached Mito “thank you, Mito, for everything”, Mito said “you’re welcome”, the Princess looked at him “you’re someone good, you know?”, Mito looked away “I’m not someone good”, the Princess smiled “you are, even if you don’t believe it”, she entered the palace, Mito stayed alone, he looked at the sky, the stars were shining, he smiled, he was happy, he had made the Princess happy, that was all that mattered.
The next day, Vic, in his palace, learned the news, he laughed “they celebrated the Princess’s birthday, they laughed, they danced, they were happy, but their happiness won’t last, my last general is ready, soon, I will strike, soon, I will take the Princess, soon, I will dominate the world”, he smiled, a cruel smile, he waited for his hour.
