“Kia” she whispered.

“K-Kia! Are you talking about the red dragon Kia!” Emperor Leo gasped, this sent the whole room into silence. I looked upon Prince Sky’s face and all I saw was rage, his eyes had no light in them.

‘This must be hard for him, being the first prince and all’

“Child, when Kia wakes I would like to see him please” the dagger smiled at this awkward boy, he nodded slowly as a reply.

“Okay I think that’s enough today, Child do you need anything else?” She asked while facing me, I shook my head as I was still in shock about everything, she smiled before walking over to me.

“We combine the dagger, the fire and the key to create this item for you” she added before holding out her hand, I watched as a purple crystal encrusted bracelet appeared and attached itself around my wrist.

“As your magic grows stronger you will be able to change its shape to whatever your heart desires, it will help you in the future” she smiled while placing a hand on my head, her touch was warm.

“Goodbye everyone, I’ll see you at home Gate” they smirked now dissolving into dust, I watched and saw Altan’s god shiver at their words..

‘Home?’

Gate bowed before retracting into the shadows, as the air pressure began to decrease the feeling of dizziness over took my body, stumbling slightly I felt cool hands grab me, looking up before I passed out I saw yellow and blue.

‘Blyur?’

…..

“Hey stop running so fast you might fall!” A man shouted to me.

‘Why was I running’

“I finally caught you, I missed your touch” he whispered, he felt… warm.

I turned to face him but I couldn't see his face, a forgotten face that I cannot remember.

“What’s wrong •••••?” He asks, I watched him speak but couldn’t hear what he said at the end.

“••••• Are you okay?” He mumbles once again.

‘Who is he?’

“PRINCESS AMARIS!” The shouting instantly woke me up from my deep sleep.

‘It was just a dream’ but I could still feel the warmth of his touch lingering on my skin.

“Princess as your new lady in waiting you need to get up! The ball is tonight!” Olive smiles brightly, but I could tell she had seriousness in her eyes. I quickly tried to hide under the covers to which she pulled away immediately.

Clawing the bed I felt her pull me with all her strength.

“I’m the princess you can’t pull me” I cried.

“Now I’m your lady in waiting, it's my job that you act like a princess!” She replied while pulling me with all her might, I decided to give in and let go which sent us both flying.

Feeling as I was about to hit the cold floor I felt arms wrap around me with a thud, slowly blinking I noticed I was now on top of Aenon.

“Huh?” I said before a blush creeped over my face.

“Princess, are you eating too much?” He smirked which caused me to scream in response.

“You're so mean to me, I’m the princess how can you be so horrible” I throw a fit and pout.

‘I’m good at this child stuff’

“I couldn’t let my dear princess get hurt, could I?” Aenon smiled brightly.

“Well I’m glad I hurt you” I pout even more.

“Princess can you get off your suffocating me?” He smirked now making me blush one more.

“You meany, why are you my personal knight huh!” I Yelp while punching his large chest. I felt him wrap me in his arms before standing up.

“Be more careful princess. I don’t want to guard anyone else” he wept while wiping away his fake tears, I scowled at him.

“Oooo that’s a new face” he smirked at me.

“Okay princess you need to eat breakfast and then get ready for the hall tonight” he pointed at me as if he was telling me off, I rolled my eyes in response and nodded. He placed me in Olive's arms before walking away, looking up I noticed olive was blushing slightly, the disgust in my face was obvious.

‘She likes a baboon like him’

….

I was currently having my 3rd bath of the day.

“I think I might die” I mumble.

“Don’t be silly princess, we need to make you extra beautiful for the ball tonight” Olive smiled while she watched the servants wash me.

This was all too much, but at least I don’t have to wear stupidly tight clothes as I’m too young, I giggled to myself.

After my bath I walked to my dressing room which was an open layout. I’m surprised no one can see inside from outside.

“Can’t we close the Drapes” I ask even though they are sheer it still would help.

“We need sunlight princess” Olive pointed out before asking the servants to gather the outfits. She quickly decided to grab some hair jewels while we waited.

Looking out into the castle I noticed people walking around.

‘Is that Chance?’

I watched as Prince Chance and Heru walked around the palace grounds. Heru looked so happy and jumping with joy and so did Chance for once.

‘They must be really close’

Obviously feeling eyes were on him he looked into my direction and caught a glimpse of me in nothing but a robe, the red on our face arose as we both panicked and I fell to the ground.

‘How embarrassing’

“Princess, why are you on this floor?” Olive asks while watching me with concern.

“Oh me, I’m just dying of embarrassment” I comment while my face is planted to the floor. I look up and watch Olive walk over to the widow and gasp loudly. She then abruptly shuts the drapes.

“Didn’t I Say to close them?” I pout, I watch as she shakes her head in disappointment.

“Princess we’ve brought your dress” a servant catches my attention, sitting up and turning around I watch them bring out a long dark sheer blue skirt, it has crystal magic placed on it making the skirt look like the night sky. The golden jewels around the waist area connected to the top half of the outfit, the blue top was the same as the bottom half.

‘So pretty’

There were so many jewels being placed over my wrists, neck and feet it felt kind of heavy, they finished off my outfit with a golden headband piece that had a connecting sheet fabric which they connected to my finger.

My hair was brushed out while they pulled half of it over my shoulder and applied small sparkling butterflies.

‘They say accessories are key’

*knock knock*

“Let me see who that could be” Olive smiled while handing a jewel to another servant.

“Greeting Prince Altan” Olive said which everyone followed in greeting, I turned to see Altan who was currently wearing an white open shirt with a tribal red overcoat and baggy white bottoms, he had a scarf wrapped around his waist which had a black dagger encased in a shining golden sheath. I noticed a beautiful ruby jewel in his head piece which landed just above his eyes.

“Good evening sister, I would like to be your escort” he bowed towards me.

‘How is my brother so pretty’

‘He’s going to attract so many awful girls in the future’

“Okay Altan! That would make me happy” I smiled brightly.

‘Time for the ball’
