The sound of the birds squeaking was earthy, the wind was blowing lightly towards me bringing a calming scent to the nerves. Someone put a warm towel on my lapels, it felt warm and comfortable.
My consciousness swayed in an udder before I finally opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was the roof of the bed made of soft purple silk.
Where am I ?
My energy seems to be running out. I feel weak. My head is throbbing and my throat is itching. I wanted to say something, but my voice seemed to be stuck. My eyes scoured the room, shocked to learn how luxurious this room was. On the east side there are four large windows that directly lead to the balcony. The curtain is made of silk with the same color as the furniture in it, waving the waving in the wind from the window that is left open. In the middle of the room there is a burning fireplace. There was a table with two chairs in front of him. On the table someone had left a therapeutic scent that filled this room. On the west side are two closed doors. On the north side is a large door. I heard someone talking out there. Overall, this room is not a room that ordinary people can have. Furniture and***** are whiny fancy and look expensive.
When I struggled to get up, against the dizziness in the head, the door opened.
"You're up" I looked up. A middle-aged man approached me. I feel no stranger to him.
"Don't be afraid" he said, making me gasp. I realized his voice was the voice that appeared in my dreams back then. But not only that, I watched him closely. Her hair even though it was covered with gray hair, I can still see the original hair color that was ground brown. Just like my hair. His skin was brownish in the sun. The way he moves and clumsiness reminds me of myself. There is Me in him, or vice versa there is Him in me.
"Drink.this will relieve dizziness and pain in your throat" the man thrusts a glass made of copper filled with clear water. I looked at the man doubtfully. "I'm not going to hurt you Yuki" he said again. This time it was more firm. He recognized me. I looked at him for a moment. I stretched my hand out a glass and brought it closer to my nose. Just plain water, odorless and colorless
What happens if I drink it ?.
Slowly I brought my mouth glass closer. The sweet taste spread as soon as I drank it. Slowly the dizziness in my head gradually disappeared.
"How are you doing now ?" Ask the man who keeps watching me.
I nodded in shame. "Thank you, I've been feeling much healthier than before. What is this drink ?"
"It was a special potion made by Reverend Serfa" the man helped me sit down. He leaned me on a pile of pillows behind me.
I look around still don't understand why I'm here. Slowly my memory returned. The young man brought me here. I see, this is the world of my mother's origin told by Aunt Sheira.
"Where am I" I said at last.
The man pulled up a chair and sat down near me.
"You're in your house, and this." The man showed me this room with his hands. "This is your room, how do you like it"
I stared at the man for a long time. My lips felt faint when I wanted to say it. The man was waiting for me. His hands were now softly gripping both of my hands.
"Ask Yuki" she asked.
"What...My dad ?"
The man hugged me tightly. His body shook violently holding haru. "My daughter, my little daughter" he whispered.
My tears are flowing. I feel happy and happy at the same time. I didn't think I'd finally get to meet my dad. I used to fantasize about movie stars on television as my father. Now, unexpectedly I can meet him. My father didn't die. She lived.
We miss each other for a while. Dad wiped the tears on my cheeks. I looked more clearly at her figure. Although it is old but I still see the look of good looks on his face. Her body was still freshly turned around with her skin that had started to wrinkle. There was a lot of suffering and burden that He bore on her shoulders, I can feel that.Now I understand why Mama loves this man so much.
"Dad, will I stay here" I asked cautiously. Dad looked at me not understanding.
"Of course" he said. I bowed.
"Can I go back to my world there"
Dad's speechless.
"You don't want to live with Dad"
"I'm very happy to meet Dad, but Dad regardless of my origin, I've got my own life there. It is an ordinary life. But that's my life. Let me go back to living it"
"I used to let you and your mom go, I'm so sorry about that. Now.no. You're gonna stay here with Dad"
"But Dad.."
"Enough Yuki!!, like not liking You are a person of this world.Your life is now here as it should be. You're going to stay here with Dad. There's no more debate" Dad said firmly. Dad got up from his seat and walked away towards the exit.
"Dad...I'm begging...Dad" I tried to get out of bed to chase Dad but the door was closed. I'm alone. I sat down limply in the chair.
All this happened so fast.
I was crying in the room. My changed fate within a day. I don't know how long I've been sitting around daydreaming, until the sound of the door opening. A sweet black girl came in. Her hair is braided back. He was about the same age as me, or even older.There were dimples on both cheeks when He smiled.
"I am Rena Alresa, saluting Princess Yuki" he said as he prostrated himself in disrespect, making me careless. I stood up from my seat and went straight to him.
"No, it doesn't have to be" I asked.
"You are the daughter of this family, it is appropriate that the servant pay his respects"
"I'm not a princess for what you're prostrating like that" I'm upset.
Rena smiles. "From the day I was assigned to be the Princess' personal servant. I will help the princess prepare for all the princess needs. It's dinner soon. It's good princess shower and change clothes"
I looked at my appearance. My hair was messy while still wearing school clothes. Rena's right I need a shower.
"Alright, but don't be so polite. It makes me uncomfortable" I asked.
Bathing was not an easy thing that I faced next. Rena insisted on helping me clean up. I'm not used to being served like this. Naked in front of others. I soaked my body in a bathtub that was enough for five people though, while Rena sprinkled rose petals in it. Then he peed at my back.
While helping me take a bath, Rena told me about the world.
This world is different dimension to my world there, here Dragons and magic are real. There are many countries like my world, but only the four largest countries in the world, namely the State of Argueda, Garduete, Romawa and Rashamshah.The four countries are in the east, west, and west respectively, south and north. Unfortunately, although these four countries are quite large they are hostile to each other. But among these four countries, only Argueda and Garduete are the most powerful.
The country I live in now is
Garduete. The land of Garduete is guarded by the god Aiswara or God of justice. The king of this country is King Bardana. Although he was fifty years old, King Bardana had nine concubines, twelve lovers and thirty ladies-in-waiting. However, even though Garduete is one of the largest states and one of the strongest countries in the world, this country is actually on the verge of destruction. There is a rule in this country that the future successor to the throne is only a Prince born from a Queen chosen by a god. Queen Almira, the wife of King Bardana, died shortly after giving birth to the crown prince-Prince Riana. So automatically this country only has one crown prince who if He died before having the Queen and descendants, it is certain that this country will be destroyed by itself.
But the problem is that the new Queen candidate has not been found yet. Though the sign that God has chosen a woman as the future Queen Prince Riana is clearly there.
"Hmmm.It's very complicated the rules of this world."
"There will be many more rules that the Princess needs to know later. As much as possible I will help the Princess." said Rena while getting a towel for me. I accepted it and immediately got up from inside the tub to change clothes.
I had a chance to argue with Rena when she actually dressed me up with a lot of jewelry. I'm wearing a rattling anklet, it feels like a cow. Not to mention bracelets, necklaces, earrings and other hair ornaments. It makes me uncomfortable to wear it.
"Can't I wear clothes like you wear" I asked as I finished dressing up.
"How Can I, I will definitely be scolded by the Prime Minister for letting you wear servant clothes"
"I'm more comfortable wearing those clothes" I said. "Are you sure I should wear all this, isn't this just a regular dinner"
"All of these are the clothes that this princess wore. The Princess will get used to it"
Accustomed ? really ?
Rena took me to see Dad who was waiting in his study. I'm silent. Dad looks sad. It must have been because of the trouble earlier this afternoon. Rena told me that to bring her family back the Prime Minister continued to fight without giving up these 16 years. Many advised her to forget about Mama and marry another daughter. But the Prime Minister refused. He never had another wife or lover. Even a lady-in-waiting she doesn't have. I feel proud of him. His loyalty to Mom was huge.
"Dad" I whispered softly as we were just the two of us in this room. " I'm sorry, I don't know how much Father struggled all this time just to bring us back. I'm really sorry Dad" I leaned over to hug Dad. "From now on I'll take care of Dad, don't be sad anymore"
Dad hugged me happy.
That night for the first time I felt a whole family. We told each other about our lives when we were apart, strange, but I felt like Mama was here with us.
I've been here a week. Although there are no televisions or special items of young people in my world, but I do not feel bored. The air is very fresh here. It's a little cold, though. If at night you don't wear footwear, you can hang around while walking on the stone floor. Every day Rena and I try the cuisine in this world. I feel like I'm gaining a few kilos.
"Yuki are you sure I'm not with you?" ask Dad again to make sure when we take me to the waiting horse carriage. I nodded steadily.Today is my first day of school. Dad enrolled me in a special school for Nobles and Daughters on the outskirts of town. From the info I got, many students also came from other countries. There are four levels of education in this world, namely the Gala level, which is the first level that can be cultivated as when we were Kindergarten until we stepped on the fifth grade. Then the level of Arsa, the level of the sixth grade elementary grade to Junior High School grade 3. Kuldhi level or equivalent of smu and the last level of Basmana level.
The school has 534 students. So if I don't get one place between them, I don't know what I'm gonna be.
"Calm Dad, I'll be fine"
I know Dad's doing a lot of work, so I don't want to bother him. If I faced a lot of people as a transfer student, I used to do it. I don't know how this school situation is considering that almost 90 percent are children from noble and royal families. Actually I'm not very comfortable with this school, but Dad insists I have to get a good education and this school is the best in this country.
"Well, if anything happens you know what you have to do?" I showed gulf. a kind of communication tool shaped like a powder patch, can see a figure who calls us like if we do a v-call using a mobile phone.
"I'm leaving Dad" I kissed Dad's cheek. Sei, the coachman assigned to deliver me is waiting.
"Good morning princess, ready to go to jail" continued Sei.
I grin. The train started to run. I opened the wide window, waving to Father who was still looking at me worriedly.
The train drove through the city which began to be crowded with activities, then turned on the bridge to a building on a high hill. Surrounded by shady forests. The building is surrounded by high walls. We entered through the gate. Sei took me around in circles first before taking me to the principal's office. "There is still more time than the Princess waiting long enough" said Sei who I agree with enthusiastically.
I was surprised to find the building here. This place is so big from the looks of it. There's a lake and a horse field. The princess dormitory and her son's dormitory are located in opposite directions. The school building and even the park are all amazing. I'm suspicious how much Dad put out so I can go to school here. One thing I'm grateful for is that I can immediately understand their language, it would be very scary if I can't communicate properly like now. "God Aiswara has given you a gift for being able to understand the language of this world. We should be grateful about it" Dad said the other day when he knew I could understand their language well.
Finally Sei stopped his train right in the courtyard of a building that became the main building. The place where almost all the activities of students of various levels are located here. "What princess really does not want to be accompanied" asked Sei still sitting on his stool. I opened the door and jumped out of the car. One thing I like about Sei is that he still lets me be a human being, unlike Rena who constantly serves me like a child who can't do anything.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine"
"Daughter is so cute, I'm just worried someone will be lured and take the Princess away" I turned my eyes to hear Sei slurried. In this yard horse carriages alternately came to take students who attended school here. A few eyes looked at me curiously. I closed the train door. The bell rang loudly. "Later I'll pick up the princess here. Just call if the Princess is going home"
"okay"
I walked into the building. All the disciples were already invisible to his nose.
What was the bell in.
The roof of this building is made in such a way. Above it is dome-shaped with a cloud painting with a beautiful blue sky. Crops are arranged neatly, soaring up to the roof.
All right, what do I do now.
There's no one here. How can I find the direction of the principal's office.
Damn
I kept walking straight, until one of those accidental turns I collided with a young man.
"Ouch"
I covered my nose that hit his chest. The young man in front of me has a sweet face. Maybe he's the same age as me. His body is tall, but a little thin for a boy his age. Her hair was neatly arranged, milk-brown.There was a bruise scar that began to fade on her face.
Does he like to fight ?. But not visible from its appearance.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean it" I said at last.
The young man smiled.
"It's okay"
He was about to walk away, I reflexively pulled his hand. "Sorry do you know where the principal's room is"
"The head of the school" the young man asked suspiciously.
"I'm a new student here, ah. introduce my name Yuki Orrie Olwrendho. I am the daughter of Prime Minister Olwrendho." I said extending a hand. The young man looked at me in disbelief. Because my hand was ignored I pulled it back.
"Prime Minister Olwrendo has no other woman than his wife, Princess Ransah"
"I am his daughter. I just got back from the world where my mom is.." I'm speechless.I can't possibly say banished.
I felt the gulf vibrate in my pocket. It turns out from Dad. "Yuki how, are you in trouble ? do you have to catch up with me?"
"Dad, calm down I'm fine." I said reassuringly. "I'll be meeting with the principal soon. I don't have to worry"
"What's wrong with worrying about your own daughter"
I laugh.
"I gotta go Daddy, I'll call you back later"
"Dad wait"
I'm closing the gulf. The young man beside me was flabbergasted.
"So you're really that dumped princess"
I grimaced to hear his sloppiness.
"Yes, specifically like that"
"I really don't believe.How can it ?"
"Father managed to prove Mama's innocence and the kingdom decided to take me back"
"Then Princess Ransah also returned. I'd really like to meet him. She was the most beautiful princess of her time"
I'm speechless. "My mom she died six months ago in an accident"
"I'm sorry" said the young man regretting.
"It's okay" I replied again.
"You want me to take you to the principal's office"
"What is not a hassle ?"
"No, come on" I nodded following the young man. While walking, the young man showed me some important rooms that I should know about.
We finally got to the headmaster's office.
"Thank you for the help" I said gladly.
"I go first" said the young man.
"Wait"
The young man turned around. "What's your name ?" so excited to talk I forgot to ask her name. The young man smiled sadly. This dramatic change has caused me to be confused. He's back to keeping his distance. "You don't need to know"
"Why?" my question does not understand.
"After you know Me, I'm sure you're grateful you don't know me"
The young man left without turning around again. I was about to chase after him, but the door of the room opened. The figure of a woman appeared, looking at me with a probing look.
"So who is this" he asked.
After meeting with the principal, I was escorted to the bookkeeping room to get the books and other supplies I needed.
Gender differences in education are very real. The women can only get general knowledge, the rest they learn ethics and politeness in association and preparation in running the household. In addition, they are taught more skills such as sewing clothes, cooking, dancing, flower arranging, knitting and so on. Martial arts education is not a priority. In contrast to the nobles, they studied law, health sciences, war sciences, political tactics, languages, business, economics, trade, agriculture, shipping, farming and so on. equestrian skills, fighting, martial arts, and so on, archery and swords are highly emphasized to master.
since I can master the language, Miss Hazel put me on the level of Kuldhi. I choose the general subjects I want. Language became my first choice.After filling out all the files, I was delivered to my closet. It turns out that in this school also prepared a special room to store items that are separated according to gender and level. This room is very spacious with a neatly arranged closet. I opened my two-door closet. Organize all the stuff I get. I hung up my uniform, put the book in the same order. Stick a copy of the study schedule behind the door. Shoes for school purposes have also been inserted. Finally everything is in order. I tidied up my appearance in the mirror behind the door. Comb my hair with my fingers, add powder and lipstick to make it look fresher. After everything was okay, I closed the door, locked it and put it in the bag I was carrying. The bell rings to signal a new lesson is beginning. A class boy was waiting for me outside. I was taken to a counting class. In the class there were only twenty students. Mr. Handison-teacher taught this class, introduced me for a while and asked me to sit at the front desk. Near an exotic and sexy skinned girl. She introduces herself as Princess Elber, daughter of the land of Yamaera.
"Where are you going after this" asked Elber when the lesson was over. I checked my schedule paper.
"Lessons of ethics and civility with Mrs Debby"
"That means we're the same, let's have a hunt. Mrs Debby wouldn't like it if any of her students were late. And I'm sure you don't want to stand in the hallway of class all day long on your first day"
I nodded my head following Elber. We walked down a crowded hallway. Students walk to their classes. As I was going up the stairs, I heard a loud fall.
"Gubraakkk"
I turned around and found the noble who helped me this morning slumped on the floor. Next to him a group of disciples stood up and laughed at him. I swear, seeing a fat nobleman with a face full of spots on his nose that's the culprit. He accidentally grabbed his leg so he fell.
"Idiot" he said chuckling. While the fallen nobles just remained silent and got up. His face was expressionless, neither resisting nor accepting. I was about to help her, but Elber pulled my hand. Stopped my step.
"Where are you going, we can be late"
He jerked my hand following him. We ran up the stairs.
