"As expected... I should not have given you a chance to escape back then," the cold voice of the Dark Queen echoes in the silent tower as the young Light Queen took a deep breath to calm her racing heart. She may look calm on the outside, but there is an inner turmoil happening inside her. She can't believe that the barrier of the sacred tower would be breached so easily by her sister. Has she been neglecting her practice, that her older sister has beaten her? She should be the one with the advantage between them since she IS the Queen of the Celestial planet... meaning she should have a direct mana connection to the heart of magic. Yet... she can feel nothing has changed within her mana ever since she became the first Queen. She doesn't grasp what she did wrong, but she can't seem to connect her power to the heart of magic. So why is her elder sister much more powerful than she is? When did she draw magic from the Astral planet? She should have been weakened after stepping here.
The room they are having their lesson is a spacious room filled with all the essential books that Aimee will require for her lessons. In addition, it has a comfy sofa with a coffee table made with a special kind of tree that only grows in a certain area. "Now, your highness, can you tell me again the name of the leader of the Fire Clan?" Airel's calming voice asks as she smiled at Aimee. "The current Leader of the Fire Clan is the firstborn daughter of the late Captain Conleth, Lady Solana. She became the leader of their clan at such a young age of... was it sixteen?" Aimee answers as she tried recalling what she has read about her. Airel has been informing her about all the leaders of the clan to prepare for the incoming party. It will be her duty to greet them and properly introduce herself as the sole Princess of the Kingdom. "She was about fifteen when she was selected as their current captain," Airel corrected her as she turns the page of the book she is holding. Airel is sta
Aimee's PovAs days passed by, the welcome party that my sister prepared for have finally come. This is the first party that I will ever attend! And to top it all, it's a very lavish and massive party! All the influential figures of this kingdom are invited! My sister is the one who prepared everything for this party. And I saw how busy everyone has become because of this. It took them a whole month to prepare when Airel said it should be at least too two months considering all the things that still need to be done.All nobles and high-ranking officials are going to attend this party! I wonder if I can manage to do a good job of greeting them! I am a bit worried considering I have no prior experience of attending such a party and this is specifically designated for me!For the past two months, I have done nothing but memorize the name, pictures, and responsibilities of all the guests... All the notable guests. I think I heard somewhere this is the first time in a while that they will
I let out a tired sigh once I am alone on the balcony. The guard that escorts me is currently guarding the door that will lead to this place. I told him that I want to take a breather on my own, so he stayed behind. "Princess?" a familiar voice startles me as I turn to see Brenia holding a glass of juice as she walks towards me.The guard probably recognize her so he let her in. Well, I did say that I don't mind if any of the trio came to keep me company here. Honestly, I enjoy their company, especially since I have gotten closer to them. Though, Brenia has been too busy to properly spend time with us as she only comes by from time to time. "Oh? Brenia? Come and keep me company," I greet her with a smile as she stops near me."Are you feeling okay, Princess?" The smile on her lips turn into a frown the moment she saw my tired look. I just want to point out that ever since we came to this world, Brenia has become more expressive than back when we were on Earth. Because of that, it h
Glowing stars... They are the only thing I can see, as I float gently in this never-ending darkness. The small lights they radiate are the only thing that comforts me. Where am I even? What am I doing in this vast space? As I ponder these questions... A bright light lightens up the whole place temporarily blinding me. The pleasant warmth of the light instantly feels like a gentle hug from a mother. I feel safe being hugged by this light... Well until voices started emerging from nowhere. "-- someone, help me!!" It was whispering something when it suddenly become a high-pitched scream. "Save my dear child! I beg you!" another high-pitched scream echoes. I try to cover my ears but the fierce scream continues. "Your highness!! Why did you abandon us?!" out of the corner of my eyes, black liquids start popping out of the ground. "What did we do to deserve this cruel punishment?!" my heart thumps painfully inside my chest as
"Alright class, we'll continue this tomorrow. Don't forget to do your homework! Goodbye," our Japanese teacher said as we stand up and bow our heads. "Thank you, Sensei!" we all said as our teacher walks out of the door. We have two to three language classes, one every week. And this week is a Japanese language class. For our class schedule, we have Math at eight in the morning right after our twenty minutes morning exercises. After that, we have a science class for an hour and then a fifteen-minute break. Next, we have 45 minutes social class and another forty-minute gym exercise every Mon-Wed-Fri before lunch. I have no idea why they require a lot of time with the students just exercising. I suppose they prioritize more of the students' health than anything else? I let out a tired sigh before fixing my things and walking quietly out of the room. I just hope I would last for a year without my parents knowing about my situation here in school. I

Aimee's POV What should I do? I continue kicking the poor stone that was just laying on the side of the street, as I recall the things Airel has told me. What are the odds that I was born in a mystical world? I mean... really though, I feel like all this is a just sick prank for me. I did see her using magic but still... I sigh in frustration as continue to kick the poor stone. "What should I do? Should I just ignore her from now on? But this is the first time someone approached me, and I do want to be her friend. It's just..." I stop walking as I lift up my head to look at the sky. Instead of the usual sky blue color, the sky envelops in a warm orange color of the sun setting. I took a deep breath as the warm wind blew past me. Then I start walking home again, once I wake up tomorrow maybe my thoughts will be cleared. ... Nighttime came... once I'd finished eating dinner, I headed upstairs back to my ro
