Chapter Two: The Beauty

What...the...what?! I pinched my cheeks and it hurts so It's reaaal!! I look around and this place look like a castle from the movies. Where am I? NO WAY!! Did I just- just...went to the other world?!?

"How? Why?!" Well..I mean as a fan I think a LOT about going to the other world but come on! I like my life there..even though I drown myself everyday on the alcohol. And What about Jin?! and my friends! Well, I don't have a family because I grew up in the orphanage but I surbive the real world! And what about my books and rated 18-

"My lady!" I see a maid running towards me and grab my hand. "We gotta hurry my lady Phir! Let's run!" Phir! That's the nickname of Saphira that her maid (childhood friend) always call her. Did I really just-? I felt like my spirit just left me while I'm running. Daanggg.

"My..ladyy! MY LADY PHIR!!" I startled amd blink as many as I can when I hear a shout coming right from my ear.

"My ears gonna burst Maine" I pout and sigh. Wait- Did I just called her Maine?

"really my lady! That was dangerous!" She stomp her feet. Right now were riding at the carriage. I think we're going to Saphira's home. Ugh I really can't do this.

This is nerve racking. I felt so nervous, scared of what will happened if they found out I'm the other person and worried about my life and body at my world. I never though that I'm from the other world while possessing the most beautiful girl....WHO MEET HER TRAGIC END!

Oh my ghad! I'm gonna die!! Wait no! Saphira's gonna die but I'm the one who will suffer! Before I panicked more like a crazy mad woman, the carriage stop and...a small yet beautiful house. I looked around and there's no other house beside the one in front of us. It feels like where in the middle of the forest or nowhere.

"Maine...?" I turn back and I can see maine's worrued face. "Are you really sure about this, My Lady?" I frown. What does she meant by it?

"Do you really want to spend her for a month? What if it's not safe her for you, Lady Phir?" She really looks worried. "It's okay ?" I'm really not sure if it's okay but since I can't remember anything beside what I read from the book, I shouldn't carelessly decide. I look at the carriage and I can see the coachman bringing down some bags and boxes. The carriage doesn't have any family symbol of Noble Elionor.

Did Saphira tried to run away from home or was she was thrown away? If it's the latter then...

Ack

A sudden pain flow all over my head. I grunt and tried to balance myself. My heads is throbing with pain. What's happening??

"My Lady!!" I can see Maine running towards me, didn't even care and just let go all the things she just hold.

"Ugh" I lost my balance and fell down to the ground. It hurts. It really hurts.. What is this...? "My Ladyy!!" She shout again and now she keeps shaking me.

"Stop...You're killing..me Maine..." She stops and just keep calling me. I can faintly see the coachman running towards us. They're so noisy-

I fainted.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

'Wake up...'

Who..? A sweet voice.

'Wake up..Leyla.." Who are you?? How do you know me? I look around and I only see water. Water everywhere. Am I drowning?

'Leyla...' A sweet voice is calling my name. I looked up and I can see a hand and grabs my ta...TAIL?!?

I move around and panic.

"Hi Fishy~ Fishy~" I glance where the voice come from and I can see a big face in front of me. "Fishy Leyla~ How are you? You need to remember all, you know." He smile and his teeth looks so big-A giant?! WAAAAA!!

I panic and tried to move around but he won't let of my tail. What. Why tail? "Now stay still fishy Leyla~" He suddenly grab a mirror and show it to me.

A goldfish.

Those big eyes and mouth that keeps open and close.

I become...a gold fish.

"GOOOOLLLDDDFFFFIIISSSHHH!!"

"KYAAAAAAAAH!!!!!" I got startled when Maine shout beside me. My..ear...is ringing.

"My Lady! I'm so sorrry!!" She panic while I'm curling here, covering my wounded ear. I feel like a spear pierced my ear.

"My Laddyyy!! Waaaaa" Now Maines hugging me while sobbing. This is ultimate chaos.

"Now. now. Calm down, Maine." It feels so natural to call here name. Ahh- my head is throbbing but the memories of saphira, I remember all of them.

All of them and yet, Everything feels so sad. "Lady Phir...." Maine called my name with worry. Now I know why were here.

"Please prepare our food maine. We will talk later." She bow and went out. I need time to think all of them. I have to priority the life of Saphira and me first. Let's just forget about the goldfish thingy.

First thing first, the truth is...

Saphira ran away from the society. Her own family sold here to the Royal family. It's so obvious because the Royal family gave the rights of possession of the Crystal Mine and Flower Mine to the Elionor Family and there' Saphira, who's called by the King to live at the palace even she does have a home.

They are bunch of bastards and power hungry. These two mine possess the most beautiful gems and crystals which worth way more that anyone can imagine. But..Saphira is there own blood. How could they?

I gasped as I remember the face of someone who love Saphira. Her brother. The heir of the Elionor Family. But right now he is at the Academy and can't access anything at the House of Elionor because of the Elders who wants everything for themselves.

But as the lady of the house, Saphira should have the right to have the Authority in the house but she feared her life. The Elders in the Elionor House can't be trusted.

Maybe they think that even though the heir is not present, Saphira can threaten their status and authority as a noble.

It's because Saphira is the most beautiful in the empire, the flower of the society and jewel of the nobles. A model role for the young aristocrat ladies and admired by young heir. She's become a figure in the empire. Everyone desires her but no one will try to harm her. Instead they showered her with gifts, invitation, connections, and respect.

And they don't want it. Bastards.

If Saphira didn't run away, this time she's learning the proper ettiquite and knowledge to become Empress. But she doesn't have any fiancee in the Royal Family. There is only one prince, the crown prince but he is engage to the princess of the other countrt so why...

shit.

'She's going to marry the King or become the offering to the King of other country.' I scowl about what I concluded. These foolish bastards! I grind my teeth and can't shake the feeling of wanting to beat up someone. Saphira is only 20!

I closed my eyes and tried to calm down. Now let's think about why Saphira, the flower of the high society sleeping beside the stranger blond man.

I felt hot all of the sudden. I can only remember faint moves and actions about what happened that night because unfortunately, Saphira is really drunk that time.

Hmmm. Blond hair....No one in the characters of the novel with blond hair is mentioned or become an important character. I mean the color of the villain's hair is black, the fl is curly brunette, the King and Crown prince is gray. The Empress is dead. And most of the Elionor Family is silver haired. The aides of the characters are mostly black or brown.

Then.... who is he?

knock knock knock

I flinch as I jeard a knock from my door and Maine enter with a foods in the tray. Maine smiled and put down all the food in the table.

Well let's not care about the guy anymore. It's only a one night stand anyways. And besides I have to think what solution or decisions should I do. Running away is only temporary. I havr to contact him, Saphira's older brother,

Lindoln Elionor.
