Once upon a time there was a war in a certain kingdom. The king and his warriors fought against the enemy's army. The war lasted for about 3 and half years. The princess Erita was 6 months old when the war of triumph started. And the King ordered that his queen, the infant and her maid to be escorted out of the palace. The guards did that but before reaching the exit gate, the were approached by the enemy's soldiers and it was merciless. Lo, the queen along with her baby (who's the only child to the throne) and the maid managed to escaped death. They went to another neighboring nation but unfortunately the enemies who pursued them captured the queen and killed her; but the maid hid herself and the baby princess under the bridge Tolgea for a month. When the maid couldn't hide anymore; she decided to enter a small country which is about 11km from the bridge Tolgea. There, she the maid found a job and rented a house. Lucky for her she got married to a certain respected man there. In that neighbor country they knew that the baby Erita was her little sister. She took care of the child and raised her as her own. Even her children called princess Erita aunty.
Now, when princess Erita was 15 years of age, she learned about the history of the war of triumph and was given those two royal items in case people inquire of her origin or start to doubt about her. Those two items are unique and are well known to king's attendants, generals and nobles alike.
Behold many years passed by and the people thought that the queen and the princess were dead during the war of triumph. That's how it was called. Two decades passed by, lo, the lost princess who is now 20 years old came back to the Kingdom but hid her true identity so to not cause havoc in the small village and no one knew her cause she forged her papers but kept those two royal items with her at all time. Those were the sole proof that she is the king's only child.

A bunch of hoodlums comes always at noon to disturb the ladies who come there to draw water at a big Well. Some mile away three damsels (Judith, martea & Erita) are coming to draw water too. I confronted those hoodlums to leave the damsels alone. Although was I bruised, those 3 young damsels treated my wounds. Months passed by, my eyes got caught by Erita's beauty. Gosh, she was the most brilliant, tender hearted and on top of that very gorgeous. Asked I her friend (namely: Judith & martea) about Erita whereabouts but nobody seems to know where she went. My heart couldn't sleep through the day due to longing for Erita.
I come to learn that she went to see her relative farthest away (who is that maid who took her)
