*Kingdom of the Aurora

"Mother, are you sure about this?"

Queen Songyeon sigh and look over the princess as she shrugged her shoulders with a blank look on her face. The princess purse her lips and grab one of the Queen's hands squeezing it tightly in her own hands.

"It's okay if you don't want to do this right now...We could've just--"

"No. She need to know the truth. This is the only way we need to do once the war broke out"

The princess gulp down hardly as Queen Songyeon pull away her hands from the princess and stood up on her feets with the princess following along.

"Let's go before the dawn arrive"

Before they could walk out from the castle, the main guard of the castle rushed in towards their side stopping right infront of them. Bowing as a respect sign, the guy then balanced himself again.

"Queen Jisoo has told me to follow the both of you if it's okay with you?"

The princess chuckle and cling onto the guy's arms making the guy turn into red shades while the Queen just laugh over the sudden change of the guard.

"P-Princess--"

"Let's go, shall we?"

The Queen nod her head and walk ahead first leaving the princess and the guard behind closely following her. The princess send a slight wink towards the stiff one making the guy turn into more crimson. The princess lean closer to the guard's ears and whisper something which made the guard stopped breathing for a while.

"Princess Riana likes you anyways"

*Kingdom of the Howard

There stood the princess infront of the room with the 'dead' Queen's name written on the wooden's door. The princess take a deep breath before slowly turn the doorknob open revealing the darkness inside of the room. Stepping forward, the princess then turn on the lights as a sudden bright comes piercing into her eyes.

The princess close the door and look around the room finding all the frames of the royals family hanging on every walls. In the middle of the bed, there was hanging a frame of the Howard's family which she could see the King, the Queen and two kids standing infront of them.

The princess squint her eyes as she walk closer to the frame looking right into the other kid's face who was standing beside her with her little teeth showing. The princess furrow her eyebrows in confusion while caressing the picture of the kid gently.

"Who are you?"

The princess's eyes fell onto the pendant where it's placed around the kid's neck when a slight pang of memories come hitting her head making the princess shut her eyes in pain.

"Come play with me!!"

"You're not going to get me!!"

"Mother loves me!!"

"No, Mother loves me more!!"

"Why are you so childish?"

"I am not!!"

"This is for me?"

"Yeah, and this is mine"

"I love it!! Thank you!!"

"I told you to stop bothering me"

"Well, I don't want to"

"Yeeun, no!!"

"I-I love you, A-Ara unnie..."

The princess fell on the ground with a slight thud while holding onto her head tightly. Her shaky hands quickly make it's ways up to her neck when she felt a cold metal placing around her neck. The princess look down on the pendant which showing the same colour as the kid's one.

"Y-Yeeun? P-Princess Y-Yeeun?"

The princess immediately stood up from the ground ignoring the light pain that was hitting her head and was about to stepped outside when her eyes fell on the white journal on top of the nightstand beside the bed.

Hearing a slight footsteps of someone, the princess quickly grabbed the journal and turn off the lights before running out from the room after closing the door shut. The King that was just arrive on the last stairs raise his eyebrows when he heard the princess's door being slammed shut loudly as it echoed around the hallways.

'Weird...'

*Orlende's Narnia Secret House

"Mirana!! Mirana!! I need your help!! Mirana!! You hear me?!"

The person stopped his steps after searching almost around the house for the old lady. The person eventually gave up and was about to walk away when he saw a letter folded neatly on top of the table not to far from where he was.

The person walk towards it and pick up the letter in his hands as he slowly unfold it. There was written some words using a back ink's coloured.

Dear myself,

     Creating the other people's happiness is not something new for yourself. In a blink of eye, you could change the hour into a minute, a minute into a second, and a second into a moment.

     Nobody knows about how in the world you could do such things like that. And everybody were envious on your own ability to do so. Well, you're not going to care about it, don't you? Yes, you won't. Let the others put the blames on you but NEVER EVER in a second you said you WANT to give up.

     People can talk, people can say, and people can judge. You can't control how and what they want to do nor say. With the power you hold, you can just shut them up in a moment. That's how your life is.

     You've seen your own son dying in your arms and his scarlet bloods spreading into your hands. The second when he looks into your eyes with a weak smile displaying on his face uttering the words 'I love you' for the last time. The second when you lost someone you've promise them to stay until your last breath. Yes, that moment was the most unfair for you.

     You're a good person, everyone will loves you. You'll get a good health and you'll be always succeed in everything. And that's what everyone wished for. So do I. Guess what? You don't have much times left until the right moment come and get you.

     To the ones whose reading this letter ( if you found it ), have a good day and I wish you the best. You're the one that worth a life. You're important to the others. You're not a failure. You're just a bit behind from the others but you sure can run past them if you fight enough for it.

     Thanks a lot to Queen Songyeon, for treating me as her own Mother. Thank you to King Taehyun for holding onto me eventhough you still choose someone else after me. Congratulation to Princess Ara and Princess Yeeun of finding your own Mother, Queen Songyeon. And lastly, for you, Jason, I hope you root and die painfully. I meant it.

That's all I guess? I'll write more if I had times. Well, bye--no. Goodbye.

Yours,
Mirana.

The King slowly look up from the letter and shake his head in disbelief.

'No...This can't be...'
