Capítulo 1: VOL. 1 PROLOGUE: Unfamiliar Place.

***

"It's been 18 days since..."

"And the Princess hasn't woken up yet even once..."

"Huhu..."

"Don't cry, Ande...she's going to be fine..."

So noisy...

Why is there someone crying here? And who's Princess? Am I in a hospital and the family of that Princess is visiting her? Anyway, why does it feels like I'm lying in a huge cozy bed?

"Your Holiness, please forgive me for asking but...does Your Holiness have any idea when the Princess is going to wake up?" Your Holiness...? The Princess? Huh? What the heck is with those vocabularies?

"I apologize. However, it entirely depends on the Princess. I have no idea why the Princess has not open her eyes yet..."

What are these people talking about? Who is this Princess they are so worried about?

I slowly open my eyes and I was surprised to have realized that I am still alive. I roam my eyes to the left and right side only to find unfamiliar people. Even the room is not familiar, and the bed I am lying on right now looks so huge and spacious. When my eyes turned to the right side, I got an eye contact with a lime-haired girl, she just glanced at me and look at the guy with long hair again, but she turn her head back again to me with those widened lime eyes as if she was so surprised to see me awake. Who is she?

She smiled and walk towards me. Getting in front of the white-haired guy with long hair.

"Princess, you're finally awake..." she said with a genuine smile on her face.

Princess...? But, my name is Clara? And wow, this is my first time receiving such gentle and soft smile. None of my family members have ever done that to me.

"It's good to finally see you awake, Your Highness," I turned my head to the guy who spoke. And I was stunned and amazed when I saw how beautiful he is. He's got white hair and sky blue eyes. His hair is so long that I can't even see the end of it from my position right now, and look at those long eyelashes. This guy is the one they're calling 'Your Holiness'?

And wait, what did he just called me?

"Your Highness?" I asked out of confusion. I forced myself to sit on the bed and I'm glad I was able to do it without any struggles. But...seriously, who are these people and why am I still alive? Did someone saved me...? Impossible, that building had thirty floors and I jumped from the very top! No one can save me from the height! Unless they're S*perman, Ir*n Man, B*tman or whichever superhero they are!

And wait, what's with my voice? It sounded so cute.

"Your Holiness is referring to you, Princess. We're happy to see you awake," Huh?

Uhh, now I'm even more confused.

"Princess?" I tilt my head and asked again.

All the people here who are wearing the same maid costume exchanged looks with each other and then turned their head to the guy with the long hair. He looks at me with those worried eyes and walk towards me.

"Your Highness, forgive me for asking but...do you not remember who you are?" Right after he asked me that very question, I felt a throb in my head that it made me flinch. So I held my head and grabbed my hair because of the pain rushing in my head.

"Your Highness?"

"Princess Alina?"

Alina...

Alina...

"Gughh..." I groaned. Hearing that familiar name made my head hurt even more.

"Please, calm down, Your Highness," The long-haired guy gently held my hand and then poked on my palm. After that, the pain in my head slowly faded away...what exactly is happening to me? Why am I here? None of their faces are familiar. And what did this Your Holiness just did? I felt a relieving feeling from my palm, and it spreads all over my body when his index finger touched my palm.

"Your Highness, do you think you can answer my question now?" He asked with a gentle and soft tone of voice. This is my first time hearing that kind voice in my entire life. All I've got from my family were yells, curses, and insults.

"I...I'm sorry..." It's like there are memories within my head that are trying to come out, the feeling of this familiarity when I looked at these people even though I don't really know any of them.

"Princess...oh, maybe it affected her brain when she drowned," Huh? Drowned? Me? No, I didn't drown, I jumped off a building.

"Princess..."

And why are these ladies wearing maid costume? Are they cosplaying or something? Plus, this room is really huge and the designs are so beautiful and luxurious, dang it can I steal all those things and sell it? I'll definitely make a fortune out of it and I can finally escape the mansion.

Come to think of it, none of my family are even here. If someone was able to save me from that fall and brought me here, I'd just beg for them to let me stay here and I'll work my butt off to repay them for saving me. However...this place is sooo unfamiliar and weird. Plus, the way they call me and this guy is strange too.

"If that's the case, may I take the honor of reminding the Princess who she is?" Everyone made a way for the lady who just arrived. She has light brown hair and pretty pink eyes. She smiled at me softly and walk towards me. Out of all the ladies here, she's the only one wearing a different kind of uniform. Although...it's still a maid uniform.

"Your Highness the Princess, Greetings," I creased my forehead when she held both sides of her maid uniform and gave me a bow. Huh? Now...I'm getting nervous about everything that's happening. Why are they calling me Your Highness? I'm not a princess...or am I?

"I am Themis Roslyn, the Head Maid of the Antares Palace. And you...Your Highness, is..."

"Alina Devi de Ciera. The First and only Princess of the Ciera Empire,"
