Regal Academy - The Legend of the Mermaid <Book 2>

Chapter 1 - The Moonlight's Embrace

<13 years later...>

13 years has passed by quickly, Moon is already a full grown teenager. However, her life was not as ordinary as a normal 15 year old, she was a princess. A princess of her kingdom and a princess to her subjects.

Growing up, Moon was forced to obey some strict rules...

1. She had to remain in the castle at all times (If she does go out, a bodyguard had to accompany her)

2. She must attend every royal meetings with the King and Queen (Unless it's a private meeting with the King and Queen)

3. She is not allowed to go to the beach (Sadly...)

Moon loved going to the beach ever since she was little. But as the years went by, her parents restricted her from leaving the castle and going near the beach.

She didn't understood why. The only answers she would get is "it's too dangerous'"or "you will be safer in the castle".

The only thing she knows is that she's going to be the next Queen and it's her duty to protect her kingdom. So, Moon tried to forget about the past and move on with the present...but...she still couldn't...

<Present day...In Moon's Office...>

That afternoon, Moon was writing and finishing up a documentary about the shipping of products from the neighbouring countries when there was a knock on the door.

Moon: "Come In."

A Maid came into the room and bowed.

Maid: "Pardon me, your highness. But the King wishes you to be present in the throne room for an audience."

Moon: "Alright, what time is the audience?"

Maid: "It's in twenty minutes. Oh."

The Maid then walked over to Moon and handed her a bottle with some sort of liquid.

Maid: "Princess Harmony wanted me to pass this fragrance oil to you."

Moon took the bottle from the Maid.

Moon: "Thank you, you may leave now."

The Maid bowed once again and left.

Moon: Aunt Harmony knows me too well...

Whenever Moon is stressed or overwhelmed with work, Harmony will specially make a bottle of Rose Fragrance Oil just for her.

Moon loves the smell of Roses. Just like her Mother, Rose.

Harmony was always there to comfort Moon and took care of her since young.

Moon: "I better get ready."

Moon got out from her seat and went back to her room for a quick change of clothes.

<In the throne room...>

Moon wore a simple long sleeve blue ballgown which was embroidered with gold accessories and designs on it. Pairing the dress, she put on a pair of blue high heels.
