Chapter 1 - The Palace of Dreams

Suddenly, I was amazed to see such a large royal palace before my eyes. I was standing outside the main door of the palace. Beyond the door was a huge garden, and then the palace. A large lock hung on the door, but still the scenes inside were visible. The interior scenes were dazzlingly, extraordinarily beautiful. But I couldn't remember at all how I got here. I closed my eyes and tried to think. When I opened my eyes, I suddenly saw someone in front of me and had to come out of my thoughts. The boy was looking at me and smiling, but I had lost the ability to speak. It seemed like I wanted to say something but couldn't. His smile was mesmerizing me. He was wearing a blue panjabi and white pajamas, his pupils were blue. My gaze wouldn't move from his blue eyes. Before I could say anything, the boy spoke up, "Do you want to go inside the palace?" The view outside the palace had captivated me so much that my desire to go inside burst out of my mouth. I said, "Yes, but who are you?" The boy didn't answer my question. He went forward and unlocked the palace door. The boy came toward me and extended his hand, "Come, let me take you to my world." As soon as I extended my hand, he touched it. My heartbeat increased. He held my hand and led me inside the palace. As soon as we entered, he closed the door and locked it. I became a bit scared—was this some demon who would trap me in this palace? Would I never be able to go home? Was this the demon from Beauty and the Beast who had imprisoned me? I was staring at the boy with sharp eyes. The boy looked at me and smiled sweetly again, saying, "Don't be afraid, Butterfly. I'm not a demon, I'm a human being."
