Chapter 003: Entering the Door of the Original Work (Diamond)



The king and queen were deeply moved when they saw how quickly Selena had risen from the brink. They immediately find the best teacher to teach the letters Selena means. As parents, they want to give their best to their beloved daughter.


It's not easy to find that teacher. Especially with the rumors that say that Princess Diamond I is a cursed princess. The scholars and scholars immediately turned away, even before hearing the explanations from the king's lackeys. After all, not many people know about Braille. Basically, the letter has not been officially recognized anywhere.


In between that boring empty time, Selena kept trying to remember the plot she had read. All those bad plots will only happen when he is twenty years old–if they are not wrong. Selena had doubts about that. Anyway, it happened shortly after the characters from the other plots graduated from the Gem Academy.


His age when he got a reading and writing teacher was eight years. The teacher was a woman from the Great Mainland. Her name was Amina, the wife of an ambassador from outside the continent.


“Amina,” call Selena in one of her study classes, “Will I be able to rise from this situation?”


“You can definitely, Mr. Princess,” said Amina encouragingly, “You have that spirit in your heart.”


Selena felt the paper back on her lap. He wanted to be able to read and write. That way, he can definitely save his memory as a provision to fight for fate.


Six months passed quickly. Selena could start writing at that time. He immediately recorded all his memories as detailed as possible. Unfortunately, he could not remember everything well.


“Who is my rebellious brother?” thought Selena hard. He really can't remember. What he remembered was only a chronological cut of his plot. However, it was already better than nothing. The order was rebellion, expulsion, civil war, and captivity of the enemy.


“Academy,” wrote Selena, “All those disasters began after the ladies graduated from the academy. I can't do much, but they might be able to do it.”


Over the years, Selena devised her plan while building micro-strength to be wary of ‘’ butterfly effect. He has not been able to carry out the plan because the ladies have not gathered. In his notes, he will only start in the new school year when the ladies start to enter the academy.


“Mr Princess,” call an old woman who becomes Selena's guardian at White Melati Palace. She was the Grand Duchess of Lambordy, Margaretha Lambordy who was once a center of social association in her youth. “Lady Muthia come to visit.”


“Hanna?” Selena turned to the source of the voice. He was quite surprised because he had not met the shy girl for a long time. Reportedly, Hanna was also affected by the tragedy that befell her.


“True, Princess,” Madam Margaretha confirmed, “She is Hanna Muthia.”


“Take me to him,” exclaim Selena spirit. He knew that Hanna was one of the characters from the original work. Therefore, it would be great if he could establish a good relationship with her early on.


“Greetings, Princess,” greet a little silver-haired girl. Hanna Muthia, the Pearl who will be the closest friend of Diamond in the original work. The girl also got the nickname ‘ damned girl’ because of her silvery hair since the tragedy.


Selena welcomed him with pleasure. He talked to her long time. It might not have been a comfortable conversation, but it went well between the two of them.


“Sorry, Hanna,” pinta Selena in the middle of her second meeting, “For me, you were also hit by a calamity.”


“It was not your fault, Mr. Princess,” reply Hanna relievedwa, “I came here precisely to thank you. If only you hadn't protected me back then, it was certain I would never have come back alive.”


“I'm really fine, Mr. Princess,” Hanna added later, “You don't have to feel sad so.”


Unknowingly, Selena shed her tears. It was the first tear since she became visually impaired. Sadness is contagious too. Hanna Tetiba hugged the princess like a sister who had not seen her brother for a long time. The girl sobbed, letting go of longing after long time no see.


Selena wants to speed up her plans if she can meet the owner of the other three plots. Mirah, Nilam, and Emerald. To meet Mirah, Selena might be able to arrange it because the owner of the scenario had one kingdom with her. Grand Duchess Lambordy is also the aunt of the girl in the Mirah plot.


The problem is Nilam and Emerald. They were both princesses of the outer kingdom. Unlike before, Selena couldn't possibly invite them just like that. The bad rumors circulating around him made it difficult to be realized. In the end, the princess could only wait.


Years after years passed again. Selena is getting closer to Hanna. She has also met Amelia Ruby, the Mirah who is the social center of young girls in the capital. In addition, he also has a group of intelligence that always gives him the latest information related to political developments on the continent.


“The new school year is about to begin. Enjoy your studies,” said Selena congratulated Hanna and sent her a message, “Please, yes. I want us to get together.”


“I'll deliver,” Hanna promise, “Princess Selena don't have to worry.”


In this way, Selena will soon meet with the other characters. He hoped the princesses would know their plot. However, it seems like it will end up being a mere hope since even Hanna knows nothing about her own plot.


“I must speed up their union,” wrote Selena in the onset print note sheet, “Continental fractions should be avoided. Besides, I should be able to keep an eye on my other half-brothers.”


“If this plan fails,” muttered Selena later, “I will be stuck in the plot of the original work. That can't happen. This novel should run to a happy ending.”


The problem is, Selena has not been able to confirm the existence of Emeralds. Should have been, the girl on the plot was already in her kingdom by this time. The intel also reported that the princess from the Emerald Kingdom had disappeared since a few months ago. Coinciding with that, a new noble family appeared in the Diamond Kingdom.


“Zamrud does not run the story according to the plot,” muttered Selena in the middle of her quiet palace, “Possibly, she has already moved to change her fate. I need to be able to find him. He can be my strongest ally or enemy.”


...***...


I stared at the table in silence. A smile fell on my lips. It was nice to see him start stepping into the door of the original work. Well, even if he wants to change it anyway. Let's look and watch. Will he succeed in changing it?


Since "he" has already taken Diamond as his choice, I will make Mirah, Nilam, Emerald, and Pearl walk in the real groove with a first-person perspective. No matter how big the free variable the Diamond will give, I was quite looking forward to it. Let them flow by themselves.


"Ah, yes," I saw a bedtime notification on my shining table. "Before reading, pay attention to the name code in each chapter title so that you are not confused. After this chapter the characters will change."


Fantasy is still a fantasy world. Don't get too late into it. This is nothing more than a child's imagination poured into a cup of words.
