Magical Forest

At the heart of the hall, a long table stretched like a banquet of dreams. Its surface, polished to a mirror-like shine, reflected the opulent chandeliers overhead.

Each seat was a throne of intricately carved wood, cushioned with plush velvet. Guests, dressed in silks and brocades, gathered around, their eyes shining with anticipation.

The feast began, heralded by a triumphant fanfare. Servers emerged, carrying platters laden with culinary delights that seemed to defy the imagination.

Succulent roasted meats, glazed with honey and adorned with herbs, vied for attention with dishes of vibrant vegetables cooked to perfection. Exotic fruits, their aromas tantalizing the senses, were artfully arranged in glistening bowls.

Awhile ago, Sana approach Y/N along with the three unknown people behind her. "Care to introduce this young lady to us Sana? asked by the person beside her.

"Y/N this are my sisters, this is Nayeon, Momo and Tzuyu." pointing at the princesses. "I'm Nayeon, nice to meet you." the princess wore a gown adorned with shades of blue and green, creating a captivating blend reminiscent of the tranquil depths of the ocean. The hues intertwined gracefully, reflecting the serene beauty of the sea and the sky on a clear day. She was smiling with her bunny like tooth.

"Tzuyu." This princess exudes an air of elegance and detachment. Draped in a luxurious nightgown, she seems to have embraced comfort over formality. Echoing her desire for ease and solitude. Despite her regal origins, she appears uninterested in the demands of her title.

"I apologize from her attitude Y/N, once you two get closer she has a bubbly and lively side." Sana said. "Hi! I'm Momo!" she exclaimed, hugging Y/N almost out of breath. She wears an elegant green dress that flows gracefully around her. The shade of green is reminiscent of lush forests, and the dress is adorned with intricate golden embroidery that adds a touch of regal charm.

"Chill out Momo, you're too excited. She might die." Nayeon parted her from Y/N.

As they keep talking, Tzuyu on the other side felt like a bird trapped in a gilded cage, longing for the freedom of open skies. Gathering her courage, she walked to the exit door at the very end corner of the hall and exited the very loud blubbering of people.

Tzuyu's escape was a success. As she disappeared into the darkness beyond the castle walls, she carried with her the memory of the noisy hall and the taste of newfound freedom.  

"Tzuyu has vanished again, she don't really like loud noises." Nayeon uttered. "She'll be back, don't worry. She's just refreshing herself." Momo replied looking at the worried Sana beside them.

Y/N was now walking with the same knight that had brought her through the hall. "From today, I shall be the one who accompanies you at all times and attends to you whenever the Princesses wish to meet with you." spoked by the knight. "Oh ok, but before that I must know your name right?" Y/N asked looking at the knight with shimmering eyes. "Jeongyeon." as she face Y/N, The air was charged with anticipation as they extended their hands towards one another. With a firm yet gentle grasp, their hands met, fingers interlocking.

They come to a stop as Jeongyeon bow, "Thank you for allowing me to accompany you to your room. It has been a pleasure assisting you. If you require anything further, please do not hesitate to let me know. Goodnight." "Thank you for your kind assistance Jeongyeon. I appreciate your presence. Goodnight." Y/N closed the door and proceeded to the bathroom.

While she's washing her face, suddenly the scene that she was holding a book at their house starts flowing in her head. 

"How are aunt Irene doing?" she asked the mirror. Nodding her head she got out from the bathroom and plopped down on her bed.
