All week was the same or really similar to first day. School was boring to Lucy, and she has to make a dinner everyday!
It did a bit boring to Lucy after the week.
„ So... it's a normal life? Wake up, take on clothes, go to school, be back, make a dinner for all family, learn, check internet and go sleep? God damn, it's soooo boring. How people can live like this? It's not possible. I have enough. And more I am so tired! I'm tired after school... that's not fair. "

One day she was at school like everyday. She had a history the last one.
- Eretria, could stay for a minute after everyone will leave? - asked professor,
- Of course.
When everyone left she stayed.
- Eretria... please tell me are you OK with the biology's teacher?
- Um, yes... why?
- I heard that... you are not kind to her, I mean.. rude?
- I? Rude to the teacher? No, never. I couldn't.
- You couldn't... right....
- She told you something bad about me?
- SHE actually didn't... but I heard from other teachers that she told them. Well, anyway I'll talk to her and ask what's going on. If there would be something wrong, at first come to me! I am your form teacher and I need to know things like that. Understand?
- Yes, thank you. - Lucy said and left.
She saw Josh so she decided to come to him. She hasn't seen him for a week.
- Hi. How are you? - asked Lucy.
- Oh, Eretria! Hi, why didn't you write to me anything?
- Sorry, I really forgot.
- I haven't seen you for a week! You know how long is that? I don't know how I lived it.
- Like before you met me....?
- No, no. But alright, on Friday. We're getting out. You and I.
- Where?
- Don't know exactly where. Together. Give me your adress.
- Alright... - Lucy wrote on the paper Freya's adress. Plus her own phone's number.
- Thank you, cutie. See ya.
Josh said and left her. Lucy was so excited.

When she returned home she heard in Freya&Remus's room Freya were talking with somebody. She knew it's not Remus, cause he is working.
- You really think I don't know? It is hard, it WILL be hard! But we can do nothing with this! We both did anything what we can to do. Nothing more. Everything more depends of her. Depends of Eretria.
„ God damn... everything depends of me... "
Lucy's heard her heartbeat is up. What depended of her?
- Freya... - Lucy heard the voice she knew... Francis's voice. - I know it... but I don't think that it depends ONLY of Eretria.
- Francis... it does. He... can't do anything with this. He just needs to wait. Wait for her. If she will come, EVERYONE will be safe. If she will choose the wrong way... well...
- Can't we tell her what she should do?
- No, Francis. She needs to feel it!
- Dorian could do something with it...
„ Dorian... wow how long time I didn't hear his name... "
- No, Francis... Dorian can't do anything! He needs to wait!
- For her feelings?
„ I don't understand anything... "
- Francis! It's the time Eretria should be at home! She is NEVER late!
Freya left the room and looked at Lucy.
- Oh, honey, you came back. What was your day in school today?
- Um.. fine. Thank you. What should I do for a dinner today?
- In the fridge you have what you need for spaggethi, my dear. - said smiling Freya.
- Thank you, Freya. Um, I had impression you're not alone.
- Oh, yes. Francis come here!
And Francis left the room. Lucy hugged him so quickly.
- I missed you so much! - Lucy said through tears.
- Don't cry, my princess... I am with you.
- How are you???
- In the castle everything is fine. I am fine.
- So good.
- How are YOU? What is your new life?
Lucy didn't say anything.
She just hugged him again.

Lucy made the dinner during Freya and Francis were talking about Lucy's school. Then Remus returned.
- Hello.. oh, King Francis. I didn't know you are here, so sorry for my clothes.
- It's ok, Remus, it's ok. You care about my princess, you should call me just Francis.
All ate the dinner and somebody knocked at the door.
- Who is this? - asked Freya.
- Um, it's possible Harry. - said Francis.
- Harry?! - screamed out Lucy and opened the door and there really were Harry.
- HARRY! - Lucy screamed again and hugged him. She never actually did it but now she really missed him.
- Our amazing princess. I hope you're well.
- Now I am!
- So happy for that. King - he told to Francis now - we just got the letter for you. From... Germany.
Francis looked at him schocked.
- Well, Harry... give me this letter...
Harry gave him.
Francis read it and he was looked really miserable...
- Francis, are you OK? - asked Lucy.
- Yes, my dear.. I... I am fine. Harry, we will leave for.. half an our. Do what it takes to be ready.
- Of course. - Harry said it, smiled last time to Lucy and left them.
- Francis, you're not OK. What is wrong? Tell me! I am still the princess! Heard me? - said Lucy.
- Eretria! You should be more... tactful. It's a King. Your King. - said Remus.
- It's more my half-dad, not a King. I am his princess forever. I can know what is wrong. Tell me. Francis, do you hear me?
- I do hear you, Eretria!
„ Eretria? Did HE call me Eretria? Why?"
For Lucy it was OK when Freya calls her Eretria. When Remus, teachers, classmates call her Eretria. It was OK when everyone who didn't know her REAL name call her Eretria. But it hurted her when Francis; the human who was with her all the time. He knows her the most in this life when her dad died. The person, who loves her and she knows it, called her the name what isn't hers. It broke her heart.
Therefore she didn't need to know anymore what was in the letter. She doesn't care about it. She doesn't care about anything. She just left them and went to her own room.
She learnt for school and she heard that Francis left Freya and Remus a cuarter after her.

If I could tell you she didn't cry through it I would lie. She did. She cried all the night. But at morning she needed to live... as a ERETRIA like Francis ; her second dad called her. Like literally everyone calls her.
„ Now I'm Eretria. Seriously, Lucy. You're not Lucy not anymore. You are Eretria. " - she thought.
