Another World

"So, you're saying that you accidentally landed in our kingdom?"

"Yes, because I clearly remember that I'm with my friends before I got stuck inside tornado."

She nodded and wrote down something in her notebook. Mama Odelia has a secret den where she performs her spells. It is underneath her home.

There are different sizes of cauldron. But in the middle of her den, there lies a huge cauldron and it has a liquid inside. There are also carved people, with white paint. Maybe she uses it for whoever she wants to land a spell on.

She cleared her throat. "I have to see through you, Devina."

I told her to drop the Lady calling because I am not. I shouldn't be respected the way they respect royalties here. 

"How will you do that?"

She pointed at my hair.

"A piece of your hair, always."

Of course.

I picked a single strand of my hair then gave it to her. She took a piece of napkin and placed my hair inside.

"It'll be a really long process, Devina. Do you want a job for the meantime?"

I chuckled and nodded. "Will I be your assistant?"

Her brows furrowed and shook her head. "Of course not, I don't even allow Placito in my den. The bakeshop here in the village, they're looking for some bakers."

I pouted at her. "I can't bake, Mama Odelia."

"They'll train you, they also need a new face so buyers could come."

It'll be a good pastime for me. I have to wait so that I could go home. I agreed to what Mama Odelia had offered me. I learned that she's close to the owner of that bakeshop.

As a thank you, I cooked the dinner. I may not like cooking when I'm all alone, but I actually cook for those people who I care. I have cooked for my mom several times whenever she's on leave. Now, it's Mama Odelia and Placito. 

"This is a delicious meal, my Lady." Placito complimented as he dig in to his meal

Placito refused by dropping the my Lady. He said that I'm the only person he'll treat with utmost respect. Midnight came and we're getting ready for bed. Not until someone knocked on the door.

"It's Antonio and a woman," Mama Odelia whispered.

Placito opened the door for them and there stood the couple wrapped in a blazer. A really thick blazer, I guess they're afraid of getting killed at this hour.

"My Lady," Edna came to hug me.

"Hey, how's the castle?" I whispered between our hugs.

"The Prince is so worried, my Lady. He demanded us to tell where you are but we forced not to. We don't want you in between of their troubles, especially when they're using you." Edna said as she pulled from the hug.

I looked at her, confused. "Using me? How come?"

Placito closed the door as Antonio got inside. He's holding this huge bag that contains comforters and blankets.

Edna took a deep breath and glanced at Antonio and went back to me. "They want to take your kingdom out of your hands, my Lady."

"That is also the reason why Edna does not let you be under the spell of Prince Elton." Antonio continu
