“Your Majesty! she’s moving!”
“Get the warm water!”
“Please stay with us Amaris!”
‘Damn why is everyone so loud’
Slowly opening my eyes I realised I was surrounded by people in beautiful Arabian style clothes, the room was a warm glow of yellow showing it was hot outside and everyone had small veils covering their faces except for a tall man with red hair.
‘Wait, oh shit I’m actually here’
“My baby!” He yelled as he ran over to me and wrapped me up in his large arms.
‘Wow he’s huge’
‘His one hand could cover my whole head!’
“How are you feeling?!”
“Get some food and water now!” He orders.
‘He's like a bear’
“My darling Amaris, how do you feel!”
‘Hmm let’s play along and be cute’
“Daddy I was so scared!” I pout, he instantly freezes at my words.
“You haven’t called me that in years” he mumbles out, now looking like he was about to cry.
‘Oh shit did I do too much’
“Thankyou Amaris, I’m so sorry this happened to you” he sobbed while pulling me into a deeper hug.
“Where is everyone else?” I ask, as I can only see servants and doctors.
“You know you can’t see anyone right now, I’m sorry it’s for your own safety” he half smiles while patting my hair.
‘My hair!’
‘I haven’t even seen what I look like’
Quickly jumping out of the bed which caused a stir among the servants and doctors, I ran to the closest mirror and take in my small body.
I had wavy white hair with those light pink eyes, my skin was radiating with a small mole under my right eye.
‘I’m beautiful’
‘I look exactly like Amaris’s mother’
“Princess you're still not fully recovered, please get back into bed” a doctor asked nicely, I quickly pouted before returning to my now fathers side.
‘I need to remember to act like a child’
“Amaris I thought I lost you” father cried as he pulled me onto his lap and wrapped his large arms around me once more.
“Daddy I’m okay, but can I ask you something?” I mumbled while my face was being covered by his arms.
“Of course Princess anything!” He smiled now, realising me.
“I want to see brothers and sister! Why can’t i?” I pouted like the child I now was.
‘I needed to figure out the reason behind why she was locked away’
“Are you okay Princess? You can't remember?” He asks while raising a brow.
‘Whoops’
“My head is a little fuzzy daddy, I kept dreaming about them” I pout while trying to make him feel bad, Because I’ve lived many lives I know how to win over the hearts of others, especially a father who loves his daughter.
*evil chuckle*
My father looked at me with concern in his eyes before speaking,
“We’ll get some rest and then we can discuss everything again soon okay?” He smiles while patting down my hair, I give him a smile and a nod and with that he left.
After that the servants and doctors left for me to rest.
‘Phew what a day’
‘It’s so damn hot here’
I decided to walk out onto the open balcony to see the scenery which shall be my home, but to my suprise all I saw was
“Sand!” I yell at the shock of just seeing a plain desert reaching the far horizon.
“No trees? Grass! What in the world!”
‘I need to find out more about this world and all the different empires’
The heat from the sun touched my skin but it didn’t burn, that is strange.
“There’s a magic barrier around to protect us from the UV rays Princess” a voice from behind spoke, quickly turning I came to face a young man around 19, he had flowy blonde hair and deep hazel eyes, taking a closer look I noticed he had a long scar running from his neck to his cheek, he was so pretty.
‘Is every person here beautiful or what!’
He only wore baggy red bottoms and no upper uniform besides a shoulder strap with a trident Embedded on it, he seemed very knight like you could say, he also carried a large curved sword on his right hip that was a sparkling emerald green.
“Please don’t say you forgot about me as well princess” he cried.
‘He reminds me of a puppy’
“Sorry my head is really fuzzy and I can’t seem to remember a lot” I slightly bow as an apology, this makes him blush, with a quick cough he composes himself.
“Princess, do not bow at my own regard, you are the 2nd princess of the Kami no te Empire, you are the second most important person in this land” he smiles at me with caring eyes, this caused me to blush.
‘So this empire is called Kami no te meaning ‘hand of god’’
The man took a step closer to me and swiftly moved to one knee, he stared at me with a bright smile before talking once more,
“Princess Amaris Elita Chandra, I Aenon Dider Kemp the Commander of the Beatrix knights pledge my loyalty and safety to you, until the moment I take my last breath” he spoke with such strength but his voice was calm and soft.
‘He is very loyal'
I was shocked by his words that I forgot to reply to him, coming back to reality as I watched him fidget in silence. I placed my small child hand on his head. This startled him at first, but he looked up from the floor to meet my gaze.
“Aenon Dider Kemp, I trust your loyalty and will protect you as much as you protect me” I smiled, my words made him freeze for a moment.
‘Shit I forgot I’m only four’
Before I could make another remark to redeem myself a prick of water started forming in his eyes.
‘What! I didn’t want him to cry’
“Oh my princess you are so cute! I can’t wait till the day you protect me, your highness!” He passionately spoke while pulling me into a hug I couldn’t escape.
‘This damn brat will kill me’
“Princess you're so tiny, how will you save me! Will you punch them or maybe you’ll use a sword! I can’t wait to see that!”
‘I don’t even know if he’s being cute or making fun of me’
I pulled away from him and regained composure,
“Aenon, I’ve seemed to have lost my memory, is it okay to take a walk around to see if I remember anything?” I asked with puppy dog eyes, he thought to himself knowing it wasn’t a great idea but soon agreed, according to him it was good for my health…
Walking along the stone halls I could feel a cool breeze coming from all directions.
“The magic emitting from the walls is a cool wind, it helps us not get too hot and be able to think straight in case of an attack” Aenon replies to my facial expression.
‘He must know the princess well’
The castle was beautiful and white, obviously to reflect the heat, the floor was cool as we walked barefoot everywhere, I guess this is the fashion of this empire. The ceiling was so high I could barely make out the top.
As we walked through the halls with many arches taking you off to different areas of the castle, I stopped in my tracks and looked down a corridor.
‘What is this feeling’
I felt something sting inside of me, almost like it was pulling me towards that direction, but as I was about to move a firm hand fell on my shoulder.
“I think we should move in another direction princess” Aenon smiled while ushering me away.
“You know I’m the princess” I pout which makes him chuckle. I need to find out what’s down there.
“Daughter! I was just coming to find you” father smiled at me, I quickly ran over to him and grabbed his leg like the child I am.
“Father, can you teach me now please!” I pouted and he patted my head with his large hands and let out a huff.
Quickly picking me up he proceeded to walk to an open area in the middle of the castle, it had seats and places to read, it was beautiful, the sound of water filled my ears. Turning around I noticed a small pond in the Center, it was glistening and a mesmerising blue
Father sat me down on his lap before taking a breath.
“Okay Amaris listen closely”
