Shhhhh~

A gust of wind brushed my skin as my long hair waved covering my face, while watching the shore and the sunset. It's cold, but I feel comfortable with it. This may be the very first time I felt so comfortable after all those years of hardship.

"Mom... Dad... Big Bro, I promise I'll hold on to my life." I mumble to the wind, may it reach you wherever you are.

"KYAAAAA!"

I was distracted when a girl screamed who was sleeping on the sand. Why would she scream? Doesn't she know there are people other than her here trying to relax? Can't be helped.

I approach the squealing woman who is now crying. What's her problem anyway?

"Are you alright, miss?" I asked. She looked at me and I felt my heart was stunned... Her face was... funny! I barely restrained myself from laughing.

Her face was darkened to the extent where her back skin is lighter. Definitely sunburned.

"T-There's a c-crab. I-it bit me! Whaaaa! It hurts!" She answered, pointing at her toe while still crying.

I looked at her toe. It's pinching not biting. Anyway, her pinky toe was bloody and the crab won't let go no matter what I do. The only solution I can think of is to kill it but...

"Take a deep breath and hold it, this may hurt but trust me." I said. I slowly lifted her foot with the crab, she flinched but did not complain. She heeds my advice and trusts me.

I put her foot with crab on the flat hard surface of the lounge. I readied my fist to punch it while she shut her eyes.

*CRACKED*

Tsk. It died but I hurt my knuckles because of its shell. I hurriedly warped the bloody toe with my handkerchief while her eyes still shut. This girl is definitely scared to death huh..

"It's done. be careful next time and don't rest comfortably here, there are other sea creatures other than this crab. And lastly, don't disturb others." I coldy said, before walking away.

"M-mister! Thank you!" she yelled. So I turned back to glare at her, didn't she hear what I said?

hmp! she's lucky my mood has lifted quite a bit because of her burnt face. If not... I don't know what I can do to her.

*Ring ring ring*

"What is it?" I asked without looking at who the caller was.

"ALECSIES DRAKES! WHERE ARE YOU?! I BEEN CALLING YOU HOURS A YOU HAVEN'T EVEN PICKING UP! DIDN'T YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED I WAS?!"

"What do you want?" I asked coldly. This bitch dare to call me by name and yell at me? How dare she?!

"Your workload has increased again, and another workload will arrive, if you don't want to work, then prepare to be stuck in your office for months, I won't help you! hmp!"

"I don't plan to ask you for help either. But if you don't tend to me when I need you then prepare to be fired. I did tolerate your manners towards me because we are childhood friends, but one more time you yell at me, that friendship will vanish. Oh and one more thing, I'm out of the country so don't bother to worry about me." I don't care if there are workloads waiting for me. I just want to take time to breathe.

"Wha--" I ended the call without her finishing.

*Beep*

I am Alecsies Drakes. 24, CEO of Freedom Entertainment. I do not intend to take the position that is supposed to be for my older brother, but he died… leaving me to take it from him.

Another reason is, I will have the power to investigate the accident thoroughly without anyone interfering. I have a strong feeling that the conspirator is only within my range, someone who has a desire to have this position. If I hadn't survived that day maybe he's now the one in power.

I think it's about time to go back to my suite, I need to plan ahead before I go back to that place.

"****Umm**... M-mister**..."

The same voice from the girl was heard behind me. She was limping but still walked after me? though her wound is not that serious to begin with so it's fine to push herself like this but why is she after me?

"…What is it?" I asked as I stared at her blankly and down to her hurt bloody toe.

"I… I think I've fallen' for you…" she answered, as my brow crumpled at what I heard.

She's blushing. This isn't the first time someone confessed to me like this, but we only talked for less than 5 minutes and this is what she'll say? She's too fast. I admire her braveness, but this is not the time to fool around.

"Sorry." I answered coldly and turned around. I didn't bother looking back. I just happen to help her out of pity and because of her loudness and this is what I'll get? No thanks.

Seaside.

"Tch! And here I thought I found the right man for me." I slam my butt on the lounger as I cross my arms and legs while pouting.

So far, he's the only man who helped me among these people, since I disguised myself as a plain, loud, annoying woman. He even smashed the magical crab that bit me, that strength is enough to be my groom. And I doubt my father would reject him too.

I watch the sun disappear from the sky and watch the moon shine.

'I need to prepare to go back…'

I stood up and walked to the part where no soul was around. I stood at the platform disguised as a rock as I chant in a singsong way the prayer.

'Moon that shined for me,

be that light that will guide me.

Wind that blows from the sea,

form the path just for me.

Árasha la Pangaea, resté est Brindely.'

The platform lit up as it swallowed me.

Chapter 2: I am Princess

I opened my eyes when I felt the burning light vanish. As always, I sniffed the air deeply and signed… the saying, 'There's no place like home' is really fitting to this situation.

I am Reanna Árasha De Pangaea La Brindely, 3rd Daughter of the 1st Duke, Marrion Arde De Ventus La Brindely. If you are wondering what nonsense I was spouting then listen first and judge after.

This is Brindely Kingdom, in the world Uriphea, the parallel world of Earth. Located in the North, and the second biggest continent among others. Here, it's a lot more different than Earth. Yes, Earth is advanced when it comes to development and knowledge but Uriphea is advanced in discovery and magic.

Long long time ago, when people of this world broke out a war against themselves and other races. A warrior called Nephius was said to be a child of Luna, the God. Nephius as a demigod has a power to defy the rules of the world. When his beloved wife Amriah died because of Elves, Nephius' wrath broke out, he used his power to exterminate the Elven race but then he got out of control, bringing his own death upon himself. The uncontrolled destructive power left by Nephius was still wreaking havoc until it caused a fracture in the space. That fracture grew larger and larger, until it revealed an unfamiliar sight inside the fracture. And that sight is Earth itself.

Thanks to the magicians, who conducted research and studies after the war for years… They discovered the unknown parallel world called Earth. Since the fracture is created on Uriphea, only Uriphea people can see it, Earth people can't even notice it. That's why generation after generation, until my generation, we can now cross worlds since the platform is created and enhanced.

Anyway, enough of the history. I ran inside the carriage that's waiting for me, and immediately went home.

"Princess Reanna, how was your search for a groom? Is it successful this time?" Asked by Emily, my personal maid. She's full of expectations and excitement.

"Considering that this is my last day to travel Earth, of course I did my best. The search is successful." I answered. A smile curved my lips as I recalled the man, fortunately I overheard his conversation on the phone with someone that yelled his name. "His name is Alecsies Drakes. What a stunning man."

I saw Emily's eyes twinkled in amazement. When she was about to bend down to take something, she noticed my toe warped with a handkerchief. It's his handkerchief! It's a pity that my blood has stained it, tch. I don't want to wash it but the blood will be a hindrance and hideous to look at.

Ventus Mansion.

As soon as the carriage stopped, I immediately ran to my father who was waiting by the entrance and hugged him.

"How was it, any luck?" Father asked, and patted my head.

"Yes, father. And he's different." I proudly answered, we entered the drawing room and sat on the couch as the servants prepared tea for us.

"Huh? Earthens are relatively weak compared to us Uripheans, you must be making up stories so father won't be disappointed" Savanna said and rolled her eyes, she's my ill mannered half-sister. My brow crooked at her remarks.

'What's this bitch's problem?'

I can feel the veins on my head thickening in annoyance. But I pulled myself together and smirked at her. I waved my hand and a screen appeared, a photo of Alecsies helping me remove the magical crab, and the photo where he smashed the magical crab with just his bare hands.

Savanna's face reddened in anger when I showed her my smug look. Savanna is my half-sister on my father's side, her mother is a sluttly maid who drugged my father in order to bear a noble's child within her. Savanna is the product. Though her mother died in childbirth.

"What an interesting fellow… I can't wait to meet him." Father said his eyes were fixated on the screen.

"How's he able to smash the magical crab? Are you sure he's an Earthling? and not an Earthen imposter?" Savanna pointed. I never get to check because he's in a hurry at that time. "He's your future groom-to-be, You should've asked to confirm. You're so slow."

'This bitch…! One more and I swear I'll mop her on the floor.'

"Respect your sister Savanna." Father said without looking at her, his eyes were still on the screen with a smirking face.

'What's with him…? I know my future groom is handsome- …Wait, is he… is he trying to covet him? Even my father was captivated! What more if it's Savanna who has a bitch's blood. This can't be!'

What I'm trying to say by coveting is that my Father is searching for talents, by talents, what I meant is an innate strength without magic buffs. Just like what Alecsies did as he crashed the magical crab effortlessly. Magical crab has an equivalent toughness of a Blueshine crystal or Diamond crystal in Earth's tongue. That's why it was shocking for us to witness Alecsies' strength, though for us Uripheans, crushing magical crabs is a bit normal unless they do not train.

For Savanna on the other hand, she seduces every man I've seen potential to be my groom, that's why I chose Earth who seemed to be weak in Uriphean's perspective. Tch, now she saw Alesser's strength… there's no way she will let me have him.

*deep sigh*

"Father, I've decided. I'll stay on Earth for a mean time until I get his affection. I will pursue him no matter what." I said with conviction as I threw a sharp glare at Savanna's way. "But I will of course come back from time to time to check everyone's well being. Also, so you won't worry about me while I'm there."

Today was supposedly my last trip from Earth, but considering the moment I brought Alecsies to the Hyenas' Den (Ventus Mansion), while doesn't have any affection for me, then he is bound to be stolen by them. I can't let that happen.

"Why? Isn't it better to bring him here, I'll hire famous professors to teach him what he needs to know, if you want, I'll even make him my right-hand man to prepare him for you." Said Father who got panicked, "And staying there for a long time is not good for us Uripheans, unlike Earthens, the only thing we lack is their flexible immunity. Earth has a tiny bit of mana compared to ours, you'll only suffer mana deprivation."

'As I thought, he really does like to have Alecsies as one of the Talents he sponsors.'

"No, Father. That's why I've said I'll come back from time to time to replenish my mana, this is the only way to better our future relationship, wouldn't it be beneficial for us once he comes back with me because of trust and not cause undesirable issues?"

Undesirable issues… hehehe… Only Savanna's dumb move caused us those undesirable issues in the past, after she brought back a prospect groom for her from Earth, the poor man was knocked out on her arms, we later learned that he was forced and kidnapped by her. The man rebelled and almost killed half of the servants in our mansion, calling us Monsters/Witches/Demons/etc. pertaining to us using Magic. Ventus Duchy became a laughingstock due to that incident.

"Alright… I understand. Just don't let anyone hurt you once you're there, be careful as always Reanna." Father exhaled deeply as he pulled me into a hug. Savanna clicked her tongue and left.

"But Father, could you look after Savanna while I'm away? I'm afraid she'll ruin my plans again just like usual. Don't let her come to Earth until I turn Alecsies' attention to my way only." I said while pouting.

Fortunately, Father views his offspring equal, he neither favors nor neglects us. But once he gets tired of cleaning after his offspring's mess, he'll treat you indifferently exactly what the offspring deserved. Just like a certain someone who walked out.

Chapter 3: The Delivery

*strumming*

'One look and you say 'I love you',

My tears will burst out too.

The sky gets brighter,

The grass seems greener,

The time seems faster,

My dreams got bigger,

My view got better about the world,

Because of you.'

"Hmm… why does it seem strange…?" I rubbed my chin as I looked at my notebook once again.

*humming*

"Nanana~ nanana~ naNAnaNA~ it's not this part either. Let's change this to this… right!"

*strumming*

'***After we got to know each other,

The bitter days got sweeter,

Who would have thought…

No one will know.

The love we shared was fake,

Our lovers got into quarrel,

Hearts are breaking again,

But for a different reason.

It's the only mistake that we made,

We fell in love with one another,

We're breaking up with each other,

One look and we say 'Goodbye***'.

"This should be fine… right? Argh! This is getting harder. I need inspiration!" I said as I rolled over the bed to get my phone.

*browsing*

"Whoaa… Jeremiah's new song got released 4 minutes ago! Lucky! Kyaaa!" I squealed as soon as Jeremiah said the first word in the lyrics… His godly voice is really… Kyaaaa! My heart!

Now, this is what you call Masterpiece! His voice is so overwhelming with feelings, the emotion fits the title 'Missing You while Loving You', If only I also got that heavenly voice even just a half… I want to be a Superstar someday!

*ring ring ring*

"Moshi moshi~?" I asked in a playful way

"Get your butt over here this instance! I've been struggling to deliver these chickens while you're lazing around over there!" Said the other line… ugh… It was Sister.

*Hangs up*

I'm not lazing around, I'm composing a new song, tch. No one in our family acknowledges my dream to be a popstar. I'll make sure to succeed!

"LEMON! GET DOWN HERE!" Sister's voice was so loud, even without a phone call I could still hear her voice from three stories, downstairs.

"Yes yes, Madame." I answered even though she couldn't hear it. "*humming*"

----

*ding dong*

"Miracle's Chicken Delivery" I said as the door opened.

"Hey, I've been waiting for 20 mins. Can't you make it faster?" The customer complained after he took the chicken and harshly hand me the bills

'…It's not like I'm super flash to arrive in less than 5 mins. when the chicken is still cooking for 15 mins., haysst'

"I'm sorry Sir, but I was on time, the allotted time for chicken to cook is 15 mins, while the delivery time is 5-10 mins. it was indicated on our page." I bowed and left.

It has become tiring… but no one will do it except for me and sister, that's why I couldn't complain to my sister because we experienced the same thing during and after delivering. It's just that, some people are hotheaded and impatient that they direct their anger on someone like us, Delivery guys.

I will definitely make my dreams come true then I'll hire people to deliver for us, of course, with a fair and just policy for their safety and pride. Even if I'm like this, I have pride in being a delivery man.

"Yes… I have pride~🎶

Nothing's gonna stop me.

People may say ridiculous words,

Block my path, lash at me.

But that won't let me down,

Holding on, stand back up

'Cause I have pride,

That is me,

I will live for myself and family,

May the good things fill my dreams.

This will be the start of my journey.

It's my pride. MY DELIVERY~🎶"

*clap…

*Round of Applause

My eyes shut open after hearing the noise and claps. I didn't even realize what I did… I was so immersed in singing that I unconsciously did a street performance. The people who watched me were applauded and have bills and coins and even candies from kids with different kinds of compliments from them, some are filming with their phones.

My heart beats fast in happiness as I see their bright smile and continuous compliments. Then the street performer from the corner setup his sound system and instruments around me then handed me the mike.

"Miss, could you sing another one? The song you sang was so beautiful even if no one knew that song is that, is that your own composition? When did you write it? It was amazing!" The street performer said as he sat down among the crowd that are still sticking around.

"T-that… umm, it was just a s-scat while thinking the melody I composed from earlier. I didn't mean to sing out loud, I was just motivated." I honestly said but instead of disappointment, some of them were surprised and amazed while some of them don't have an idea of what scat is.

"*What is scat? Is that the title of the song?"

"Maybe a method of composition?"

"Hahaa I only enjoy music on my pastime*"

The crowd started to ask and buzzed with curiosity. People started to sit down, especially the couples among them and the children.

"To put it simply, scat is like singing with random lyrics with a matching beat and melody to your preferred music. That's what I did. Do you still want to hear another song?" That when I hear the cheers from them, I feel delighted and I can hear my own heart beats

"This is a song entitled, Falling Hope. Please listen…" I sat on the Keyboard with a pedal, the song I'll sing will need a keyboard or piano…

"***🎶You gave me hope that I couldn't see…

It was the light of my day that guided me.

When I close my eyes, and breathe deeply

Your face appeared and now you're my only…🎶

🎶I keep pushing it hard, hard to my core

Better not forget, better not regret all the things you did for me

Will stay on my mind, will mark on my heart, my soul will remember.

I will always be.🎶

🎶You made me do what I cannot do,

It was a new… experience for me,

When I opened my eyes, and exhaled loudly,

You appeared and you smiled at me.🎶***"

This was one of my favorite songs I composed… It was from a long time ago from a dream. Inside that dream, I met my childhood friend and I forgot his name. I was so devastated at that moment but when he started to smile, all of my pain disappeared…

"***🎶After a while, my world slowly shake,

My heart sped up so I reached to touch it,

When I felt my heart, I looked up to you...

I realized... you're just a dream, your face was now blurry.🎶

🎶I kept recalling it hard, hard to my core

Why did I forget, now I did regret all the things you did for me

Did not stay on my mind, but it marked on my heart, I know my soul will remember.

That you are not real.🎶

🎶I opened my eyes, I'm on my soft bed,

I looked around and face the reality,

My tears began to fall and so my hope,

Why did my dream turn out be a sad ending?🎶***"

I wondered where he was right now… in my dreams it felt like it was so vivid seeing his face but… after waking up, I couldn't recall his face. All the happiness I've felt was literally gone in an instant, no matter how I tried to recall him… I couldn't.

"***🎶There's no turning back now, I know everything will fall...

Falling deeply, but I kept on reaching it…

Even if it's far away...🎶

🎶Who are you again? Who are you to me?

Why did I forget, why did I regret all the things you did for me? It did not stay on my mind, it left a scar on my heart, I know my soul will remember.

That you're my destiny.

Ohh whoaa… yeah~🎶***"

To my precious childhood friend whom I don't know it's name and face…

"…Until we meet again🎶"

*silence*

I slowly opened my eyes and saw that silent crowd, there were more people than before and all of them were out of words, I could even spot someone who was crying…

*Applause

*Cheers

----

After 3 songs, the crowd already dispersed due to overcrowding, and I also bid a farewell to them. It was a nice experience, it was my first time doing something like street performance. I thanked the street performer that lent me the instruments and sound system, he was the first to tell me he was my fan from now on… It's nice but I don't think I deserve that yet, when I'm still a delivery man for chickens.

"Excuse me miss, could I have a minute of your time? I am Amanda Lee, a Talent Scout from Freedom Entertainment."
