Somehow I got back to the castle, leaving Cevia to clear those humans. The place has already darkened when I got closer to the castle. On getting to the same place I had my transformation, I saw the similar gown I had wore which tore in the process of my transformation.

How did this get here?

"Maybe Cevia did." Avi uttered.

"Oh okay."

My body began to act on it's own, bones shifting on their own, I could hear my bones cracking it feels so painful. My long fingers began to go back to the way it was, hairs on my arms began to disappear, the bones in my face began to shift as if it was trying to reset itself . In a blink of an eye the pains disappeared.

"Oh wow, that really hurts." I said aloud to myself as I wore the gown.

"Of course, my Lord." A little voice in my head spoke which I recognized to be the same voice which spoke in the room the other time.

"Princess Leona, what are you doing here?" I heard a manly strong voice at my back. I turned over to see a handsome man, standing in my presence as he looks at me. His emotions seems to be on the run, nothing visible in his eyes, his golden orbs that shines brightly like the sun, skin glowing under the beautiful moon, his dark hair rustles in the cold night breeze. His lips, pinkish, like a pink rose, shoulder broad showing his manly figure.

"Princess Leona!!" he yelled.

"Y- yes."

"You know quite alright that the emperor clearly stated that this part of the kingdom is prohibited for anyone to pass by, not even the royals can pass by except he orders them to." He said and I could feel the anger coated in his words.

"Yes, I do, I just walked over here to be able to k-keep my perfect figure, perfect." I uttered struggling to find a reasonable excuse.

"What?" He asked and I noticed a slight confusion in his eyes within a second it disappeared.

Fuck!

How can I forget I don't leave in the modern world any longer, I guess.

"I mean, I got bored in my chambers, so I decided to take a walk." I said without looking at him.

"Okay, the meeting you called for between you, the female counsels, the dukes daughters, with the upper class women is yet to begin because your presence is needed." He said still with his emotionless voice.

"I would be there, shortly." I said in a cold voice, leaving him.

"Okay my lady." I heard his voice behind me.

~~

Reaching my chambers, I entered inside to wash up my body and have a change of clothes only to catch a shadow's glimpse by my window moving about, I think the person is at the balcony. Can't seem to detect if it's lady's or a man's shadow.

"Hey you !" I yelled and the person halted at his steps.

"Don't move, or else you might regret it." I said annoyed that some stupid human is spying on me. But before I could even move the person moved so fast in a blink of an eye and when I reached the balcony I caught the person's red cloak, taking the cloak off the person's body and I saw a mark on the person arm and that mark has a symbol I can't seem to recognize.

I kept on struggling to see the person's face but the person pushed me and flew away, wings sprung high as dark as the night. As he soar high in the sky my hands went up trying to catch the person but a blue light came out of my index finger striking the person's wing burning a part of it. And the person almost fell down but someone managed to keep soaring high.

Fuck! i gritted my teeth.

"My Lady, they're all waiting for you, i mean the female counsels." I heard a familiar voice only to turn and see it's that same maid.

"Wait outside for me, I would be out." I ordered her.

"Yes my lady." She replied submitting.

~~

"Daughter of the 8th emperor of Amiya's descendant, Emperor Aitra Kar Amiya's daughter, princess Leona Aitra Amiya is approaching the counsel meeting room." A guard by the counsel meeting room announced my entry. As I entered I saw so many ladies inside the room, the moment I got in the all bowed down to me.

I walked down to the throne sitting at the front of the room and sat down, the moment I sat i then remembered that i don't even know the reason for this meeting.

"Don't worry Lyana, even though your soul is in Leona's body but your memories and hers are still something you would remember, it's only when a discussion about Leona's part of her memory that is the only time you would be able to remember things pertaining to her life otherwise you won't, and as for your own memories it would come back slowly on its own for it's your soul that has control over the body." Cevia explained in whisper in my right ear as if she had an incline that I was completely clueless.

I turned to check her but I didn't see her, that's by the way.


"My lady, thank you for coming to this meeting, even though we're the ones to have asked for it, but you granted us the permission." A lady in a white long sleeveless gown, her hair as red as the color of a blood, eyes staring at me so sharp, like the edge of a dagger uttered to me.


"Hit the bull in the eye." I ordered her losing my patience.

"Yes my lady. As you know there has been secret killings in the empire which the emperor doesn't know about because he has been out of the kingdom for some time now and he only returned 2 moons ago. My lady most of this killings are being done to young ladies and teenage girls. Some are being abducted, and after that we find nothing about them again, our power's has weakened drastically, because they have been using the Clisteral stone." She said and I could feel the pain in her voice.

"The Clisteral stone????"

"Yes my lady."
