Hello everyone! Happy reading! Thank you <3

Nagising si Ashtrid dahil sa sinag ng araw na nagmumula sa kanyang malaking bintana. Kinusot niya ang kanyang mga mata upang mas maging malinaw ang kanyang paningin habang nakahiga sa kanyang kama. Sa kanyang pag-unat ng katawan ay naalala niya ang kanyang ginawang plano at agad niyang hinanap ito sa bawat sulok ng kanyang kuwarto. Ngunit, bigla siyang napaisip dahil sa kanyang pagod kahapon ay paano siya nakapunta sa kanyang silid.

Someone knocked on her door while she's searching for an important document that will save the kingdom, "Princess, it's Matilda. Can I come in?" Ashtrid immediately went back to her bed and pretended to sleep. With no reply from the Princess, Matilda went inside to dispatch the message to her because she knows that her highness is only pretending.

"Please wake up, your highness. I know that just putting an act, and I need to convey a message to you from the king, your father." Ashtrid opened her eyes and saw Matilda from the side of her bed. Matilda looked concerned. "What happened Matilda,? Is there something wrong?" She lightly caressed the Princess and sighed.

"According to his highness, you're not allowed to leave your room until he authorizes it. However, the purpose of the act is unknown." 

Ashtrid couldn't react to what Matilda mentioned. Most likely, her father retrieved her plan yesterday. However, her house arrest doesn't stop her. She knows what to do, and nothing will hinder her survival. Ashtrid faced her and let out a comforting smile, "Very well, I can't oppose his highness, right?" She stood up from her bed and put her two hands around her waist, "I'll be fine, Matilda."

My house arrest started today, and as the day went on, I noticed that every part of the manor consists of royal guards because I can hear their footsteps from the outside. Napabuntong-hininga nalang ako ng malalim, agad kong kinuha ang secret box ko mula sa ilalim ng aking kama. Never nangyare ito mula sa webtoon, at maaaring tuluyan ng magbago ang mga susunod na pangyayare. Binuksan ko ang box na naglalaman ng iba pang mga impormasyon, kinuha ko ang lapis at papel at nagsimulang gumawa ng plano kung paano ako makakaalis sa manor na ito ng hindi ako nahuhuli. 

"Hmmmm, what should I do?, and how can I out-smart my father?" patuloy akong nag-isip kung paano makakatakas sa kwartong aking kinalalagyan. At habang ako'y naiisip may biglang kumatok sa aking silid, maaaring si Matilda na ito. Agad ko itong binuksan at aking nasaksihan si Matilda na may dalang food trolley.

"Princess, here's the food" agad na ngumiti si Matilda sa akin at dali- dali rin akong umupo ng maayos upang kumain. Nagsimulang ayusin ni Matilda ang aking table setting at inilapag niya ang mga kubyertos, plato, at platito sa hapag-kainan. Biglang pumasok sa aking isipan na si Matilda lamang ang totoong nagmamahal sa kanya sa mundong ito. 

"Princess, enjoy your food" agad akong nagsimulang kumain pagkatapos niyang ayusin ang lamesa. One thing that I enjoyed the most is the food here, grabe ito yung mga pagkain na hindi ko man lamang matikman sa past life ko. "Matilda, can I ask you a question?" tanong ko sa kanya. 

 "Princess, you can always ask me anything except sa mga complicated na mga tanong mo" sagot ni Matilda habang nakangiti agad akong bumaba sa aking kinauupuan at punta sa kanya dereksyon upang bumulong "It's not that complicated Matilda, I was just wondering kung ilan yung royal guards sa labas" agad na nanglaki ang kanyang mga mata sa aking tanong at napabuntong hininga. 

Hininaan niya ang kanyang boses at kinausap ako, " Princess, I know you're planning something but please its dangerous, I don't want you to get hurt " ani niya na may kasamang pagaalala sa kanyang boses, bumalik ako sa aking kinauupuan upang ipagpatuloy ang aking kinakain. Alam ko sa aking sarili na hindi niya sasabihin kung ilang ang mga royal guards na nagbabantay at alam ko rin na hindi niya ako pababayaan.

The King couldn't comprehend the fact that his wife gave birth to that child. Moreover, he couldn't believe that a 5-year-old girl possess a high-profile document?

"Your highness, Lord Gilbert requests an audience with you" tugon ng royal guard 

"Let him in" 

sa pag bukas ng royal guard sa pinto ay agad na pumasok si Lord Gilbert, and he immediately greeted the king. Lord Gilbert is one of the most outstanding knights in the history of Crisantelle, and his swordsmanship is undeniably great. The king and Lord Gilbert are personal friends, they've known each other for a long time. Moreover, the trust between them cannot be broken. While the meeting is on going the royal maids prepares the tea for them. 

"The reason why I called you is primarily, that I delegate you to be the personal knight of the Princess,"

"I would gladly accept the delegation, your highness but, I haven't seen the princess yet, is there a reason why you can't show her to the public?" Lord Gilbert smiled at the king's offer, but there's something that made him curious about the princess.

"That child, there something in her that is perilous," the king replied while drinking his tea.

"What made you think that way, your highness?"

"She might be the chosen one according to the prophecy, so I need to protect her from people that might take advantage of her"
