As those words, is being spoken, in the sacred cathedral of Notre Dame. Deep inside the city, just below the feet of the citizens, there could be found, another story to being spoken. A story, who seems sensibly similar, and yet, so much different. A story, between siblings, who will trigger the chain of events to come... events who they could never even begin to imagine their existence, or consequences. There, in the middle of the vivid little city, the one we call The Court of Miracle, the place who now is the most seeks. We could find two gypsies arguing, siblings no less. But it's there my friend where our dear little story begins.

Stomping her naked feet on the cold dirty stone floor, Esmeralda follows the one who was the keeper of her freedom...or at least, the one she sees as such. Her dark hair flowing behind her, she was determined to not let her big brother go, or at least, not before he let her be part of the feast of fools.

Esmeralda : "I'm not going to let this one go Clopin, you know I won't! You can't keep me here forever, you have to let me go at some point "

At this, her brother stops walking, forcing Esmeralda to do the same. Sighing heavily before turning to be in front of her. It wasn't the first time they have that conversation, and he always had hope each time would be the last... But none of them were. So , with the most serious face he could muster he answered.

Clopin : "I don't have to do anything Esmeralda, we already got through this remember ? "

He said in a calm voice, but which betrayed a little how annoyed he was to have this conversation again. The oh so famous self proclaimed king of gypsies was maybe not known to be the type of person who gets annoyed very easily. But towards her little sister he was known to be very protective about. Even too protective as some would say. However, something was sure for any person who knows them even in the slightest.

It's that, no matter how much those two were yelling, one could never truly live without the other. As, even if they got more than one reason to be mad at each other, they still were there for one another. Yet this relation didn't quite help in the matters who were now at hands.Esmeralda who was more than just angry to be treated like that by her own brother, crossed her arms on her chest.

Esmeralda : "Do you think I'm stupid? I'm 16 years old Clopin, I'm not a kid anymore, you know how much I hate to stay here while everyone going outside. I'm going with you, and that's final"

Clopin, now frowning, step a little closer to her sister, his sleigh bells attached to his chest, tinkled as he moved towards her. But before he could even say a word, her sister continued.

Esmeralda : "And do not use this damn rumor as an excuse. I known them as well you do. And I'm shocked you even believe them in the slightest. The minister all but kind hearted, I know that, but to say he's an actual monster, it's ridiculous..."

She said before letting go of her frowning face and go toward her brother with a slight calm demeanor.

Esmeralda "You were the first one to tell me to not trust in fairy tales when I was a child..."

Clopin "...I know"

Answer Clopin sighing. Oh, he should have seen it coming. The rumors of the citizens of Paris, telling to any who could believe them, that the minister was a monster coming from the deepest pit of hell, weren't even believed by a good part of the citizens themselves. How could he have believed this would work. Defeated, he put one of his gloved hands on the naked shoulder of her little sister, who was looking at him with hope burning in her pure green eyes.

Clopin " Alright, you won...But you have to promise me, to stay as much away from the judge as possible, understood?"

Esmeralda who smiles with joy kiss her brother cheek, happy.

Esmeralda " I promise"
