Take Me Back

03

Choseon academy

"Wait I'm sorry I am really confused as of the moment" Leia said and put her hands on her chest. She didn't know what to do. Why was she in the past? What happened to her in the present? What happened to her body? What was happening? Leia had so many thoughts in her mind.

"I know, I know you are, but for now, please change because Princess Theana might scold me" 

Leia changed into the silk long dress that was given to her. She was viewing herself in front of the mirror that was in Theana's room. "It suits you really well, you look like you are one of the royalties" The woman said and smiled to her. "Pardon me I've been talking to you for a long time and I haven't known your name yet" Leia said to her. "Oh just call me Eve, and you are?" 

"My name is Leia" she said and smiled. "Leia is such a beautiful name for a beautiful girl like you" Eve said to her. "Oh stop please, I am not worthy of such compliments" Leia said and chuckled. "Leia, I will be doing your hair now, and I will be applying light makeup to you" Eve said, Leia just nodded her head and let Eve do whatever she wants to do to her.

About 15 minutes passed and Theana went out from her closet with her long silk dress as well, the only difference is that Leia was wearing a green one while Theana was wearing like a peach one. 

"Oh wow, you look good" Theana said. "Thanks" Leia replied. "What was your name again?" Theana asked her, "It's Leia" she replied. "Well Leia my name is Princess Theana of Pearene, I want to educate you on something first of all, always address any princess or prince as Prince and Princess. However if you are close to them you can drop the formalities. Second is do not dare speak up unless you are asked to, head master hates that. Third, leave everything to me I got you. We'll go now" Theana said and started to walk out of the room. Leia followed her then waved goodbye to Eve to which Eve replied with a bow.

As Leia and Theana were walking in the hallway with a very royal ambiance, Leia still had a lot of thoughts in mind, but the main one that is like the biggest thought in her mind right now is.. "why am I in the period of Prince Remes?" Did she had a mission? Is this just a dream? If yes, she just wanted to wake up.

"So..." Theana started a conversation "You're really not from here?". "Yup" Leia answered. "Basically I'm not from this era, I'm from the present, in 2019... can I ask what year is it today?" 

"1890" Theana casually answered while finger combing herself. Leia opened her mouth in shock, "I am this far?!" She thought. "You know I'll be very honest I do not actually believe you but you told the same story as Eve before" Theana said. "I think you two will get along, if you have any problems or concerns you can talk to her, or me if you want, I don't really mind" she added.

"Thank you Princess Theana" Leia said. "Oh drop the formalities" Theana replied with a smile. Leia smiled back, she thought of how pretty Theana was. She had medium length hair that was kind of wavy, she had pretty eyes and she was really tall as well. "By the way Theana, where are we going?" Leia asked. "To the Auditorio de Choseon, every monday the royalties are asked to go there because of reports from the head master". Leia replied with an "ok" and continued to walk with Theana

After estimated of 5 minutes of walking, they arrived at which appears to be like an auditorium. "Auditorio de Choseon"  was written on top of the door so Leia guess it must have been an auditorium. "Just stay right beside me so you won't get lost" Theana said, Leia nodded and they both entered the auditorium. There were a lot of people already, Leia guessed that these were the "royalties". While walking, there were a lot who stared at Leia. She guess it's probably because she was an unfamiliar face that's why they were staring at her. She just ignored them and kept following Theana. They chose seats and Leia sat beside Theana.

"If you don't mind me asking, what year did you start studying here?" Leia asked Theana. She shrugged and said "I don't even remember the year, maybe I was 3 or 4 I guess?". "That long?!" Leia replied. "Well yeah, I am nowhere to being promoted as a queen so I have to keep studying here, why?" Theana said. Leia said it was nothing and ended the conversation.

Then, someone who has a fierce face entered the stage, when he entered there were a lot of "shhh" that was heard and like that, the auditorium was quiet. "He's the head master" Theana whispered to Leia but she kept her face facing the stage. Leia nodded quietly. As the Head Master was standing in the stage, Leia felt that someone was staring at her but she was afraid that she might get caught so she just ignored it.

"Good day royalties, I hope you are all doing well with your studies and your trainings. I have two announcements for all of you" Head Master announced. "First, I would like to announce the names that will now accelerate to the special academy as it has came to our office that the King or Queen position will be passed on to them". He then called names which weren't even familiar to Leia, she estimated he called about 8 of them and every time a name was called, all of the royalties clapped so she followed.

"I will now move on to the next announcement, as you all know, The union of the princes will happen in about 3 months. A chosen prince from all around the world will meet up and have a mini get together, this can help improve our relationship with other countries as well" Head master started. "In our tradition, we always send the prince from a kingdom who ranks the highest among all kingdoms, so this year, we are grateful to announce that we will be sending, Prince Remes of Dralaeton, please come here on stage and show yourself"

The royalties clapped so loudly, there were a lot of "He really suits it", "He is such a good representative" "They really picked well" comments that surrounded the auditorium. However, Leia was not impressed, not even a little bit. She remembered the history lesson she had when she was still in the present time. "Why are these people clapping? If only these people knew their fate" She thought while clapping.

Prince Remes went out on stage and bowed down in front of his fellow royalties, he then went to the middle and started preparing for his speech. Head Master held his hand as a way to tell everybody to keep quiet, which the royalties followed, and just like that the auditorium was quiet once again.

"Good day my fellow royalties, I am Prince Remes of Dralaeton, and I am deeply honored to be given this opportunity to represent our country, I promise to do my best and bring pride to our country. I will also not let you all guys down and I will do my best so that we could deepen our relationship with all of them, thank you" Prince Remes ended with a bow and the royalties clapped for him once again. 

Remes looked at everyone who was cheering for him, he expected this, he knew everybody loves him, but there was one person who caught his eye, she wasn't clapping, she was just looking at him, not impressed at all, she looked at him as if she knew something was going to go wrong. Remes looked back, but he wasn't familiar with this person at all. Who is this person? and how dare she not praise him?

And that person... was Leia.
