Chapter 1: Encounter

AT THE KINGDOM OF FEURIA

It was the usual day for Ariel in the summer breeze of Afternoon , running around from place to place hoping to flee her lessons to her instructor... 'okay they're gone time to go! is what the little girl internally screamed.

As this innocent girl with reddish orange eyes that shines against the light and beautiful black with fading red color at the tips of her hair dance with the wind because of her fast running.....then 'ouch!' she tripped 'ah! Oh no they didnt heard that do they?' she thought in panic as she instinctively covered her lips with her hands. 'There you are princess' shouted the incoming woman in her late 20s. The woman is her one and only personal maid. Who have brunette hair and blue colored eyes that shines like the waves in the ocean, just like how this woman take away the princess' wishes like a wave as she approaches her

'Princess why are you in the ground?' 'did you got hurt?' let me help you ' .the maid said as she stretched her hands to offer and help the little princess 'Eh.. There she goes again...' shrug the little princess as she look behind her maid to peek if there are guards following her '*phew*good none' she thought

'No! Im fine it does not hurt!...i just wanted some fresh air then some stupid stone tripped me haha~~ '.Princess ariel bravely commented a lie to her worried maid as she accept her hands to help her get up

'Princess where have you been I've been looking for you, are you planning go read some books at the library?..the brunette woman said as her eyes wonder to observe if the princess got hurt then her search stop when her eyes spotted her left knee bleeding and right hand scratched

'Your knee and hand are injured...does it hurt?' her maid shouted in shocked 'HUH?!' injured? Me? No wonder it stings' her thoughts was interrupted when she felt being carried by her maid and*whoosh* in a blink of an eye they are in her room again 'Please lie down for a minute im going to call the doctor' by that sentence Ariel quickly grabbed her maid's hands as she deeply thinks the possibilities that her mother will feel when she hear that her adorable princess got hurt ' will she faint or cry i just dont know ' Ariel sighed as she dismiss her thoughts and slowly face her maid with her very very cute face so that the brunette woman infront of her will absolutely heed her request 'pls don't dahLia im okay, cant you please just treat me with your magic?'

Dahlia on the other hand said the word 'Okay' without thinking and hesitation its like she was manipulated by the cuteness of the creature infront of her 'then please bear with me for a moment princess, my healing magic is not that stable and powerful...you might feel a little pain while i treat you'.. Ariel who was just success in her plan cheerfully denied her maid's line 'of course not! your healing is the best i didn't feel a pain while you heal me in the past Hehe~~'

Truth to be told it does hurt but the soft warm light magic she always felt whenever the brunette maid use her healing magic at her brings her comfort so she doesn't really mind the pain

'By the way princess..'by the sharp words of Dahlia , ariel flinch just by hearing them, as she gulp and readying her self by her maid's scolding again...but the next words that the maid spoke send relief and regrets to Princess Ariel 'Earlier your instructor is in the library waiting for you in there, i was about to tell you that you can go to the library but when i got in your room you were nowhere to be found'

'Really!? But didn't father banned me for entering it for the whole month?'questioned the black haired princess 'yes and thats why you wanted to sneak out to go in there right?' the little princess flinched again because she was caught in her doings and lies earlier than she thought...she forgot Dahlia is not just a maid but a well-trained maid they are incharge of disciplining all royal kids also With offensive magic Dahlia is just like a knight that can fight and protect thats why Areil only have one personal maid with no guard as an escort because its nonessential

'but her majesty and Ms.amber( ariel's instructor) requested to dismiss it, at first the king rejected it but by the queen's keep nagging he eventually gave up'.. dahlia said finishing her explanation.

The royal family of the south rules their kingdom with pride for many generations, a real decent and honorable family .Even though they are of a royal blood they value the peace of family, the inheritance to the throne has never been their problem its because they teach the royal kids to be equal and to don't ever look down at their people

For some minute of pause dahlia finally move away and walk toward the little girl's wardrobe and seem to hunt some dress suited for today's event...a minute pass and dahlia quickly turned to face the princess again now who have a confused look

While Dahlia just send her creepy vibes with her spookish smile as she says the word that scares ariel so much... ' then shall i dress you up my princess?..'

'Ehhh!?why?' knowing the reason why but still questioning her maid made her look so embarrassed by her statement.

'of course your going to attend the neighboring kingdom's coming of age party for their prince although im sure that the

party's purpose was to find a suitable partner for the prince ' dahlia just answered the princess question

Feeling frustrated about the situation.Ariel

Thought that 'why must i go to a kid's birthday party?ariel unknowingly said that outloud as she crossed her hands...

'Princess did you forgot that your just 9 years old' despite being 9 years old the stubborn princess is rather tall that she can be considered as a 11 years old with her intelligence and height 'and the prince your talking about is turning 14 this year?...and you are the only princess and heiress of this kingdom so you MUST go its your duty after all princess' as dahlia finish her sentence with full of facts while dressing up the black haired girl who just mumble the word 'how rude' to her maid before shutting her mouth up since its no use struggling for nothing.

'finally finish!' the brunette with blue eyes maid said as she carefully made the finishing touch as she secured the tiara of princess Ariel.The dress that the princess wore shines exactly the same color as her reddish orange eyes and her kingdom's color while her long black hair with red color at the end was styled in twin braids matching the tiara with ruby gems her maid just fasten in her head

' greetings to her royal highness pardon me by my rudeness but its time to go princess the king and queen is waiting downstairs for you' a servant bowed as he past the messege of the butler

downstairs At THE THRONE ROOM

Gracefully and beautifully.The words that perfectly fit for the princess who appears to climb down at the stairs. As her reddish orange eyes wondered off before stopping at a certain direction where her parents are...the princess' mother is a very soft person inside and out that she can be compare as gentle as the moon. She have eyes that shines similar like the emerald gem in her crown that she wears..while she have wavy hair with the color similar to her daughter's black hair, moving to her charismatic handsome father who happen to have red eyes that gloss like a wild fire, and yellowish hair that shines like the sun who can shine from any darkness

'There you are sweetie, shall we--?' is what the king asked as he offer his hands to both of his girls..as those royals walked towards the Carriage with the crest of their proud kingdom...

At the KINGDOM Of ICEN

'Ariel its your first time going outside the border of our kingdom, when we arrive don't wonder around without your maid, that kingdom we're off to is not what you think as the same as our's, i ordered the guards to stay alert outside of the Icen's palace' reminded her father .The king infront of her look a little worried but still manage to look feirce 'yes father im actually excited!' the princess knew what her father meant by that...but more than that she was really excited since she's planning to wonder around for a bit outside of the party and she knew that Dahlia will follow her around anyway.

When the large Door opens...the announcer announced who just arrive 'from the kingdom of Feuria,his majesty King Reynold Ryselle Feuria, her majesty Queen Marielle Cerise Feuria and her highness royal princess Ariella Cyrelle Feuria has now arrive!'with those long names escapes the mouth of the announcer, all nobles carefully bowed their head as a sign of respect for the royalties. As the royals walked where a designated special place was made for the 3 royal families who will attend the party.

As time passes the other royalties eventaully arrive, then after sometime the main character of the event finally arrive, the first prince of Icen, his highness Prince Zile James Of Icen.the prince have shining blue hair and fierce light violet eyes.

'hmp! being the first born is still not enough to be the hier huh...I've done my research Prince Zile Born from the king with a maid , what kind of joke is that? is it because his mother is a maid that's why he can't inherit the throne?...thought of Ariel while Gazing at the handsome Prince

'Come to think of it...the Icen's queen hasn't arrive yet' she thought as she look around finding the Queen but unfortunately she found none . 'She's not going to attend?.i bet she resent the first prince, bec. he excels at all aspect while his son the second prince is good but not as good as the first prince. i heard that their performances and achievements is how the hier is going to be determine and according to the King Icen Prince Zile is the perfect candidate but the Queen objected saying he is only the son of lowly maid.. Geez their rules are totally different from our's' ...Princess ariel really research well.of course its her first time going outside so its not okay for her to leave clueless of the kingdom she's going to visit

Anyway she nearly forgot.'Where is mother...she question herself as she search the big place with currently have lots of noble people chattering around then she spotted...her mother...she need to tell her that she need to go to toilet, of course that a lie.

Princess Ariel just wanted to be alone but she can't disappear like a bubble here, otherwise her mother will faint from shock and her father will surely summon all knights in their kingdom here. Thats a lot of commotion and trouble

'mother im going to excuse myself..' she softly said to her beautiful mother and then slowly pulling her down whispering the words' i need to go to restroom please' the cute princess showed off her cute looks again.while her mother blinked twice. her soul just left her body bec. of her daugther's cuteness.her consciousness came back when she felt that the girl infront of her poke her hands twice. after that ' yes, darling you can... but come back immediately here.Do you need any help?

your maid is outside we can call her..' Queen Marielle whispered back to her daughter then she saw her princess shakes her head as a sign of NO Answer

As Ariel got her permission from her mother she quickly run away to the outside world,she runs and runs then suddenly her face slowly became confused 'where is this' she thought

she found her self outside of a garden full of blue and red roses.the view was beautiful that she actually go inside to take a closer look at the flowers

a wide smile was seen from the face of Princess Ariel but that smile quickly faded when she spotted a boy with white hair. with curiosity she walk toward the boy who seems to be crying 'Crying?...how annoying' she thought.she can't stand it when someone cries infront of her so she quickly approach the boy 'why are you here and why are you crying?' she said with a worry tone in her voice, as she said the words the boy quickly look toward her, the princess' mind went blank as she thought 'how pretty'...
