The Emperor Must Die

Princess Luna

As soon as I opened my eyes, I was captivated at the elegance of the room. The large windows welcomed the sun, the golden chandelier which shone as the sun reflected the mirror and my bed, where I could feel the warmth of someone who recently visited me. 

I rose and walked at the mirror. I could see that I am still a toddler maybe i'm 5 years old. I cupped my cheeks and thought I was really pretty. My long wavy black hair and this  smooth fair skin, these are all new to me. I recalled that I have reincarnated in this body. We did agree that I get to live in her life but I knew nothing about it. I just thought, I couldn't accept my sudden death. I still want to live. There are many things that I need to understand. I sat down at a nearby sofa and tried to recall  about this body's memories but to my dismay, nothing. 

I remembered how successful I was in my previous life. I was the youngest and most promising business woman leading in Asia. I was at the peak of my career at the age of 26 years old and there were so many things to be done but then I died right on my 27th BIRTHDAY.

Suddenly, I heard a commotion and was surprised when a young man barged in my room. He was a pretty young man and looked decent at his young age. Maybe he is 7 or 9 years old.

"You're awake?" He gasped when he stepped in the room and saw me sitting at the couch. He hugged me and cried desperately as soon as he approached me. Many of the servants panicked as they set their eyes on me. I even heard them shouting, "the princess is awake" and "call the royal doctor."

I looked at the young man's eyes and said to him "who are you?". I couldn't remember how he reacted but it sure made him stop crying. "You do not recognize me?" He asked and I shook my head. Moments later my room was filled with unfamiliar faces.

After I received a medical attention, the doctor made his diagnosis to a man sitting at the corner of the room. "The princess has suffered an amnesia. It is much better if we take things slowly from here. Making her remember everything will definitely be a threat to her because of her condition. She is still in shock with the recent accident ." the doctor said and took his leave.

The man with authority slowly walked toward my bed. He mus t be the head of this household. I was a bit scared but I just knew he wouldn't harm me. I glanced at the young man who hugged me earlier, he was standing at the end of my bed. He looked concerned. "Father, stop. She's terrified." He said and the man with authority realized I was really uncomfortable. 

He gently sat down on my bed and said "You have been through a lot and you must continue to take a rest." I looked in his eyes, it seemed to have spent the whole night crying. Was he really that concerned to me? "I was told you lost your memories. You must be wondering who we are." He continued and the young man stood beside the man in authority. "I am The Crown Prince Russel and this young man beside me is Prince Taehyung. He is your cousin but you usually call him big brother." CP Russel said as he pat Prince Taehyung's head. "And you're Princess Luna." He said as he held my hand. "Father, the royal doctor said to take it slowly" Prince Teahyung reminded looking really troubled. I looked at his hand. Is this what fatherly love feels? It's really warm and I held onto it tightly and smiled at him. "Can I also call you father?" 

He was caught off guard and hugged me. "You can call me whichever you prefer"He said and left the room. I was left with Prince Taehyung, he hasn't took off his eyes on me not once. Was he really that concerned to this body's original owner? "You know, you can also call me big brother Taehyung" He said and walked out of the room
