Kenshin turned his head away from Rune. "...For the next two years, I did nothing, but train and listen to my brother's words. It wasn't until four-and-a-half years ago where it hit me. I was ordered to dispose of the passengers in a carriage and wasn't supposed to ask questions. I didn't realize that it was the royal family's carriage until...it was too late. I attacked the carriage and the first and only person that fell...was Queen Emily. It then struck me what I had done was wrong and painful. I immediately froze after seeing the fear in her eyes and in Prince Felix's eyes. I then realized that I didn't deserve a second chance to live but...Felix had stopped the executioner and King Richard from killing me and managed to persuade him to give me a second chance.

"Out of all the people, Felix chose to give me a second chance. I don't know why, as I didn't deserve it, but since then, I've been trying to repay him and the rest of the family by working hard here, even though I knew I couldn't do anything to bring Queen Emily back. I never wanted to touch another weapon again, but...I knew that Kokumajutsu would be after me and I had to protect the royal family from them."
