"Princess Mina, it's time to depart to the venue. The Prince Akira and The Princess Sachiko are at the inner ground already." He bowed politely and informed the well-dressed beauty standing in front of a full-length mirror.

I glanced up and nodded lightly. I took a last full look on the reflection satisfied and follow the old man out of my room.

I walked to the inner palace ground and saw my father and mother. Akira Myoui and Sachiko Myoui stood there in the middle of the palace ground. "Father. Mother. Good Morning." I grinned. "Good Morning, Mina." they replied and smiled courteously.

"Mina, ready for Osaka?" The Prince Akira asked and went to the limousine parking beside them.

"Yes, father." I answered and got in the Toyota Century Royal.

The car drove in the entrance of Haneda Airport. There were a few reporters at the airport waiting for the royal. They noticed the famous Toyota Century Royal, the official state car currently used by the Imperial of Japan and quickly followed the car. The limousine drove in the terminal special lane for the Imperial family to directly reached their private jet.

We got down the limousine and boarding on the jet while waving goodbye to the media. We were heading to Osaka to attend a symposium about Medical Science. After an hour journey, we arrived at Itami Airport. The final destination was the most famous Osaka University Hospital.

"Prince Akira, Princess Sachiko, and Princess Mina, we have reached the destination." Saitama informed us politely. We got down and walking up the stairs to the entrance of the aesthetically designed hall.

"It felt so good to be back here, old memories flooding back." Prince Akira exclaimed and turned to look at his wife.

"Yes. The memory of you confessed to me still fresh in my mind." Princess Sachiko offered a sheepish smile and said.

I awed at the sweet moment between my father and mother.

"Father, is it fine if I returned to my position? President had called me several times asking me to come back."I smirked at the thought of our last conversation.

Father laughed out loud and agreed on me to come back. "I will visit him later." The president of the university hospital, Professor Hirai was an old friend of father. They studied together at Osaka University Medical School along with mother studied at Osaka University Law School.

We reached the entrance and went inside. We seated in the VIP area and waited for the opening ceremony.

"Welcome, lady and gentlemen, thank you for attending the symposium especially our Prince Akira also our Professor Akira who has contributed his research in this field to make a better world and please welcome our great Professor Akira to the stage."

I clapped happily as father walked on stage and have a speech. I admired my father who was introducing passionately how the discovery will have a huge impact on the human body. I always love and respect my father. He is a great man and a good father. I always dreamt to become a professor just like him. I am following my father's path. I became a tutor at this University Hospital but not yet a professor - I will, in the future.

All of the sudden, the light went out and soon a gunshot was heard. The sound of a panicking crowd filled the hall, there were screaming and bumping sound all over the place. I panicked and reached out to my mother. But instead of a warm hand, all I could feel was a cold leathery hand dragged me forcefully. An alarm rang in my's head. I shook my hand vigorously but the grasp only getting tighter, I cried out of pain and screamed for help. As soon as I screamed, I felt a cloth covering my mouth and a stinky smell before I lost conscious.

'Where is mother? Is father alright?' I awakened by the thought of the possibilities of my parent. I then realized I was in a small dark space. 'Where am I?' She looked around but all she could see is she laying in an empty space. She could felt a steady movement, just like she was in a car but now she was in the back trunk of a car.

A lot of thought running through my mind. 'I should stay calm. This is not the time to be panic. Thinking rationally. Think what the coach used to teach you. Tail lights! Kick it so people can discover me!' I used all my strength kicking at a particular area. Unfortunately, the area won't even budge. It was so frustrating.

Suddenly, the car stopped. I stunned and listened carefully. There were footsteps approaching the back trunk. I immediately closed my eyes, pretending unconscious. Soon after, the back trunk opened and I felt a strong arm holding me to God know where. I squinted an eye to look around the surroundings. It was a muscle man holding me and there were no other people around me and him in this alley.

'This is the best chance to escape!' I thought. I opened my eyes abruptly which shocked the man and I quickly bit on his neck. The latter yelped and dropped me on the floor. I ran right away. I could hear the man called for back up.

I look behind my back - the guys are nowhere near. Luckily, the upside of being a princess is to train stamina either for health or to react in this situation. I look behind once again and 'NO! This is really bad!' I saw the guys were holding pistols.

I sprinted through a couple of twists and turns in the alleys. The new path looked the same as the last. Before I knew I bumped into someone. I looked up, there was a pair of dazzling eyes staring back at me. I heard footsteps were getting louder - they were close. Before she spoke, I covered her mouth and dragged her in a cluttered alley. The girl were trying to break loose. "Shh. They are coming." I whispered in her ear. She stopped struggling and we kept quiet waiting for them to run past us.

"Must find her but do not hurt her." I heard someone ordered.

The footsteps are far apart. I let out the breath I was holding.

The girl threw off my hand which is still covering her mouth and turned to face me. Our faces were only inches away due to I was holding her from behind.

"Who are you?"She asked coldly.

I looked up and replied"Mina. The name is Mina. Sorry for startling you. Can you lead me out of here? They kidnapped me but I break free."

She frowned and looked worried. "Follow me."

I followed behind her but still looked around the surroundings. I still afraid they will come back. "What is your name?" I asked curiously.

"Tzuyu."The girl replied.
