Rosalina heard the news about what had happened in the palace.
How could the late Emperor suddenly come back to life? She wondered how it was possible.
She looked across her room to a table where she kept a mysterious book.

Last week she had gone into the town trying to look for a killer to deal with Princess Anthanasia.
Unfortunately, no killer had the guts to kill the Princess of Obelia who was acting as the Emperor's regent.
She had gone into a store when somebody dragged her wrist.
When she turned around she saw it was an old lady that was holding her.
She pulled her wrist away and was going to walk away but she noticed that all of a sudden the store and everybody in it, had suddenly disappeared.
All the doors and windows had disappeared along with all the furniture.
Only her and the old lady remained.
"W-what? Who are you?" Rosalina backed away from her and turned to run but the old lady was behind her!
The old lady handed a book to her. "Take it"
Shaking with fear, Rosalina accepted the book.
"Read it and have everything changed" After the old lady said this, Rosalina found herself outside of the store.
Without looking back she ran back home.

Recalling the scenario she felt a shiver down her spine.
This time she paid more attention to the book.
It had a childish pink cover with a butterfly drawn across it. The book was titled 'The Lovely Princess'
Rosalina picked up the book and began to read it. The contents of the book surprised her.
The first page had some words written on it in bold writing.
The Lovely Princess Jennette was fated to be loved by her father.
The Lonely Princess Anthanasia was fated to be loathed by her father.

"Princess Anthanasia" Anastacius stared straight at her with his fists clenched.
Anthanasia wondered how he was able to get into her room.
She was about to shout when he threw himself to the floor on his knees. "Please help me"
Anthanasia was surprised about Anastacius' actions.
He spoke once again. "I need your help"
Anthanasia decided to stay calm and listen. "How did you come back to life? What do you want?"
The room was silent. He stood up then stared at Anthanasia blankly. "I've always been alive. I've always been dead. All I want is for the story to be changed"
"Stop talking in riddles! What do you want?"
"I've told you. I want the story to be different"
"What story?"
"The story of the 'lovely princess" Anastacius' eyes became dark. "In the story you are supposed to be killed. Things have been becoming better. Very different... But they won't remain like this anymore"
Anthanasia became confused so she listened to Anastacius patiently. "So you're trying to say I'm in some story"
"Yes. Your whole life is a story. A very bad story. Quite different from Jennette's" Anastacius' expression became sullen.
"Jennette's life didn't remain good for long after you died. It was all my fault. As her father I couldn't protect her"
Anastacius reached out his hand to her. "Take my hand and let me show you the story"
Facing the sincerity in his eyes she felt moved to take his hand. As she took his hand, her surroundings began to fade away. The room around her began to disappear.
She reappeared in a white void along with Anastacius by her side. A loud voice resonated in the white void.
"When Princess Anthanasia turned fourteen years old, her sister who had been kept secret was revealed.
Years after, Anthanasia was framed for poisoning Jennette and was executed per the orders of Emperor Claude"
