Prolog

"Three days from now, you will leave and go to this place. Do you understand?"

"But mother, do I have to go by myself? How about you?"

The beautiful woman knelt to equal her height with the girl who was staring at her with teary eyes.

"Don't worry, everything is going to be okay."

The girl just nodded while holding back her tears that almost fell. She hugged her mother tightly as if they would be separated forever.

"And don't forget..."

"... to avoid any relationships with nobles."

The bright sun shined through the open window.

"Sister, what are you talking about? Did you have a nightmare?"

A boy stared at the girl who was still laying on her bed.

"Nothing. Then, I'll take a shower first. It looks like it's almost noon, we have to open the shop."

"Move quickly! I have cleaned up the shop... why are you looking at me like that?"

The girl stood up from her bed while smiling to the boy.

"Ah, why are you so stiff? I miss the young one. You were cute and now you look so annoying."

"S-STOP IT! WE ARE ONLY ONE YEAR APART!"

"Whatever, but your voice is so loud."

Year X539

Frarien Empire Castle

Crown Prince's Study Room

"Your Highness Crown Prince, it's been two years. It seems like the third princess died while running away last time."

"There is no corpse of her. She's still alive, somewhere."

"But Your Highness, we also lack information about the princess. The royal portrait had also been burnt out during the last war. The palace maids did not remember the princess, so they too could not help in this investigation."

The man glared at the people who were kneeling before him. His index finger was played on the table like a clang of a clock that rang.

"Your Highness, there is a rumor inside the palace. Before the Frarien Empire came to lay siege to Sireniel Empire, inside the palace there was a blond and blue-eyed angel. She used a black hood and often surrounded the palace at night."

"Then, what does that have to do with what we're looking for?"

"Doesn't the third princess have the same description as the angel?"

The prince stopped his finger on the table.

"Why did she get the nickname angel?"

"They said, the princess often helped the palace maids. She gave medicine, money, and also helped the servants' work. Strangely, they were not curious about the figure. More precisely, they could not remember clearly and were not curious."

"Very interesting. Look for her!"

"As you wish, Your Highness."

Third Princess of Sireniel Empire is the most suitable one to be the empress of Frarien Empire. I'm afraid that Erellan Empire also has the same ambition to look for the lost princess and take over the empire, thought the Crown Prince.

"Your Highness Crown Prince, have you ever seen the third princess before?"

"I don't think so. I never went to Frarien Empire before. I'm afraid the Crown Prince of Erellen Empire is also looking for her."
