Prologue:
"Once upon a time lived a princess in a huge mansion along with king , queen and the little prince brother a.k.a. her family. Her name was Princess Luna. She was a great warrior, an intelligent girl, a skilled magician and a beautiful woman."
"All at a same time?"
"Yes baby, all at a same time just like my Leru."
"Really, Mamma?"
"Yes. She was famous and was liked by everyone. But" Aria paused deepening her voice in the end. " She was jealous of her best friend, Princess Ava as Princess Ava was engaged to Prince Nova and both loved each other a lot"
"But why mom, don't friends wish well for each other. Then why was she jealous?"
"Yes they do, But love is something, my baby, that makes a person do a lot many things. Its up to us determine what's wrong and what's right."
"And how to decide that."
"That you'll learn as you'll grow up. But right now just know that never does something that might hurt an innocent. Got it?"
"Yes Mamma, Now tell the story?" Aria laughed at her annoyed face.
"You were the one who asked me questions. I just answered them, Leru. Anyways, Princess Luna tried her best to get Prince's attention but when she couldn't do that. She did something that was so so wrong." Aria looked at her daughter who was holding her breadth waiting for upcoming line.
"She tried killing her best friend."
"Haww, How could she? I would never do that to Neva."
"Exactly, she later realized what she did and felt very guilty but it was too late. Princess Ava was injured and was on bed rest for months and Princess Luna was sent to prison where she died."
She said the last line in a low voice and looked down at a sad Lera.
"She shouldn't have done that, Mamma. Otherwise she would have lived a happy life with her family. I would have never done such a thing."
Her words made her mother guilty. Maybe she shouldn't have told her such a sad story. Although she just wanted her not to do the same mistake Aria did in love but she ended up making her sad.
"Its okay, Leru. Its just a story. Leave it. Do you wanna check the cookies we kept in oven. Neva will be here soon, both of you can have them while playing." This instantly brought a smile at little Lera's face. She squealed and jumped on bed. The duo laughed and Aria picked her and started walking towards the kitchen.

When her mother told her the story in which people were so fed up with wars happening between countries that they decided to bring back Monarchy. The thought of actually being in the story never crossed her mind. She was kid after all. But now when she's 26 and at the moment lying on a bed in a 17 year old princess body, she did nothing but tried to remember every sentence, Aria told her.
They were silently driving towards their company, when
"Then that fucker had the audacity to say that my presentation sucks. Like my presentation. I fucking worked on it for days. And he just rejected it like its nothing. I- I wanted to punch him so hard. But luckily, Assistant John came and saved him." Neva flipped her hairs and looked outside the window, cursing her boss.
"You say this everyday, Nev. Why don't you just leave the job and work with me? My assistant, Mahi is going on a maternity leave. We'll work together and we can even have our lunch together. Have food from different restaurant everyday."
