Prologue

Third Person's POV

A little girl just woke up from her sleep. She sat up and rubbed her eyes off, despite her hair sticking out, she's very cute and adorable. With her rosy chubby cheeks, alluring eyes, and her bubbly smile.

"Where are we going, mom?" she asked with her silvery voice.

Her mom didn't answer so she decided to get off the bed. She ran and cling to her mother's arm, her mother did stop and faced her. She cupped the little girl's face.

"We are going far far away from here, baby. So get ready and take a bath." said the mother.

With glittering eyes, the child answered, "Okay mom!" with her high-pitched voice.

She ran but stopped in the midway, she then faced her mom with a pleading expression.

"Can I bring my friend?" she showed her puppy eyes and her mom just chuckled with the overloaded cuteness of her daughter. She really wanted to bring Vlax—her best friend.

The mother can't help but also smiled as the little girl climbed on her back. She's really lively and energetic.

"It's just us, Esche." the mother said as she patted Yumi's head.

"Awww." Esche, the name of the little girl, started sulking upon her mother's statement.

She doesn't want to leave his one and only prince.

She sluggishly went to the bathroom and turned off the faucet as her bathtub is full. She excitedly jumps and giggled as the water splashed.

"Be careful, Esche!" her mother shouted in fear of her child having an accident.

"I'm fine, mom!" she shouted and giggled again.

Her mother just heaved a sigh, she really can't get used to Esche's buoyant energy.

"Hurry up, Esche," the mother commanded.

Esche followed her mom's orders and hurry herself up. She didn't want to upset her mom.

She happily got out of the bathroom. Her mother then changes her clothes. The little girl giggled when her mom sniffed her on the neck, which somewhat tickled her.

"Okay, get your stuff toy." the mom said as she stood up. The little girl hurriedly gets her favorite toy, the one Vlax—the little girl's boy best friend or the so-called prince, gave as a birthday present.

"Mom where are we going?" the little girl asked for the second time but the mom didn't even get upset, she just smiled and squatted in front of the little girl so that they are on the same level.

"We will go to a faraway land." the mother said. Once again the little girl's eyes twinkled as she imagined a castle-like house and a fairytale-like story.

"Why?" the little girl once again asked.

Her mother's smile vanishes. She looked at Yumi seriously but the innocent kid just stare—she can't even understand what her mother has to say.

"We would run away from the bad guys." the mother said as she put a strand of hair behind Yumi's ear.

"Bad guys?" the little girl smiled and her mother nodded as a response.

She was thinking of a cartoon-like monster that would eat some innocent people and she would fly there in order to help the people.

She's grinning widely while the mother just sighed.

"You won't understand." the mother added.

"I'm excited, mom!" the little girl exclaimed.

Her mother just didn't mind her and continued packing their things. The little girl was bored playing with her stuff toy so she decided to go out.
