the same dreams i kept having every night is not just a dream to me. its my nightmare.and all of that happened 7 years ago.
I'm 'lilian de'alfeus',and my father the king or the ruler of the kingdom Of Elyenor- his name is 'king Caedrel de'alfeus'. my mother 'sylren de'alfeus' died after two days of giving birth to me. But even after my mother died,my father took care of me.
there was even a time when i fell down the stairs a long time ago when i was 5 years old,and my father cried like a baby after seeing all of my bruises i got from falling down the the stairs.
"lilian...my poor little girl,i should've assigned a knight to guard you..."
"father,I'm fine...i don't need a knight to watch over me..."-i said that but tears kept running down my face.
"no you're not.Don't worry your daddy will assign a knight arround the same age as you,so you can play with him too...!"
and so at my 6th birthday my father got me a knight 3 years older than me his name is 'jake'.
he's the son of one of our knight his father trained him to use sword in the age of 5 years old and he already mastered it as he turned 8 years old
at first he's cold towards me.-"hey jake! can you help me with this ribbon?"
"No,do it yourself"
"ack...."-dude no need to be rude...
but time to time we became friends.-
"lilian...get up or your dress will get dirty"
"Aww...but this cat is too cute...come on pat it's head too!"-i couldn't resist patting it's head...
"tsk...maybe he's carrying a virus with him"-
Jake rolled his eyes
"Jake,that's rude!.he can hear you,you know?"
everything was perfect until the day i turned 13. my father said that he's going somewhere but he wouldn't tell me where...Dad ordered Jake to watch over me and never let me out of the castle.
But i begged jake to let me out of the castle.
"come on jake...you know i like going out of the castle,right...?!"
"NO...your father ordered me not to let you out..."
"pretty please...i promise i won't tell father.We'll get back here before father comes back,yeah?..."
"ugh...fine..."
because i left the castle that time,i survived that tragic event.
After jake got swallowed by the ground.I suddenly felt dizzy.
"wha...what's happening?..."-and i lost consciousness,everything went blank.
And when i woke up,i justt realized i had woken up in a town i wasn't familiar with.
I sat up,but then someone tapped at my shoulder.
"lady,are you lost?..."-when i turn around a little girl is staring at me with her cute little brown eyes.
"huh?...oh,I...I-"
but before i could finish speaking a scream came from behind us.
-kyah!
-it's them!
-children's get inside now!
"They’re here again..."-the little girl groaned in disgust and as i turned toward where the little girl is looking my eye's widened. It's the soldiers who destroyed my hometown.
"Lady...you can stand up right?..."
"Huh?...oh yeah i can..."-i slowly stood up and the little girl grabbed my wrist and lead me to an alley and as we got outside to the other side'the little girl suddenly let go of my wrist and ran towards an old lady.
"Aunt berta!"-the girl threw her arms around her and giggled.
The old lady smiled.
"Oh my,don't just stand there my dear,let's get you cleaned up"
I followed behind them as we walked inside an apothecary shop.
"There's a bathroom at the back where you can bath."
After cleaning myself up the old lady handed me clean clothes.
And hours of chatting with them i learn the little girl's name 'crisha' an 8 year old kid and the old lady is crisha's aunt her mother died after having a cold but they couldn't afford to hire a doctor. So 'aunt berta' took care of her for 5 years.
And i also learned that this place where i stand at is also a territory of the regness kingdom,but i never knew how i got here.
And so the old lady took me in and i helped her do chores and help her do some works at her apothecary shop and i also learned lots of herbs from aunt berta.
7 years had past but the trauma still haunts me...
[7 years later,the present]
i woke up in my bed after having that tragic nightmare again.
i ran a hand through my messy hair.
"I kept having the same dream every night..."
i threw off the covers and swung my legs out the bed.I took a bath,got dressed, and combed my hair. after that,i went downstairs.
"ah! lily there you are,goodmorning!"-aunt berta greeted me as soon as she saw me
"oh,goodmorning too aunt berta!"
"where's crisha?"-i asked to aunt berta
"oh she's playing with truffle outside"
"oh...okay..."
truffle is a squirrel that i found on the streets with bruises so aunt berta helped me take care of him for 2 years.
and then crisha burst in holding lots of kind of flowers with truffle sitting at top of her head.
"aunt berta!,lily! look! truffle helped me pick them up"
"oh my dear crisha,that would look good if we put them in the vase"-aunt berta smiled at crisha.
crisha handed the flowers to aunt berta,and auntberta put the flowers on a vase at the counter.
I watched them both laugh and smile together.as truffle climb to my shoulders
actually aunt berta,and crisha is only reason I'm still alive until now.I'll do anything i could so i can repay them for their kindness that they showed to me.
