We went outside where we could feel the breeze of the air.
What is your name, I asked her with a calm voice
My name is Flora Star, the second princess of the Star Kingdom.
Ah, okay I got it,
But you should not say this important statement to just anyone, or else people will use you as a money transaction. Between them and your father. I gave her that advice.
Sure, I will keep that in mind. And please can you take me to the castle. She asked hesitantly as though I would refuse.
What would my past do.
If I were back in my old life, I would probably leave her here and get help from the closest help I can find.
But then "What if something happens in my absence".
Then I felt a blur in my vision.
It was like someone was watching me, or to be precise someone viewing my consciousness and memories.
But without me knowing I had opened my pure eyes.
And when I looked into the girls sitting from me, it felt like we were both looking in the deepest part of our souls. We both had special eyes. It was a metaphorical sight, we both stared, then again, then again.
She had beautiful eyes.
The quarter half of the moon dazed in her eyes, and the red colouring in her eyes made it more consummate to see.
What are those? she asked visibly confused.
These are my pure eyes, and what are your eyes called?
These are called the soul eyes, but I thought people with these were killed long ago.
What do you mean?
Long ago people with these eyes were exterminated in the kingdom?
With an almost dark tone I asked her what happened.
I don't know, but from what I read and heard.
One of them tried to kill the former king's father but the guards caught him and killed him. And unfortunately they decided they make a coup d'etat over the government, which eventually led to their downfall. But they say some fled to the Asteroid kingdom in Karasuki land.
Hmm, so that was what happened, I see, my calm gaze caught her off guard.
Why are staring so much?
Are you not mad?
For what!
This nation cut down people off your relatives but you seemed surprisingly calm about it.
It is not that, they made their decisions, maybe if they had talked to the higher power of the kingdom. Then maybe things would have changed for the better.
Suddenly, she smiled at me.
Why are you smiling so suddenly.
That is exactly what my mother and teacher would have said, and so as my sister.
Then a loud voice rushed at us.
Princess Flora, there she is.
Flora.
The girls from earlier came at the speed of sound. They run so fast that the air around them was spitting apart.
Suddenly I felt a chain tied to my back.
Hey what are you doing. I protested.
But when I looked back, the second princess had fallen asleep due to the horror she had just seen from her kidnapping.
We are taking you in for questioning.
Hey you have the wrong guy, the main attacker is in that area, you can check over in there in the room.
Then I felt it again, a free of someone watching me again.
Yeah he is telling the truth.
One of the girls answered, but surprisingly it was the girl's sister: Princess Christina of the Star kingdom.
Yes, he is telling the truth, there is no darkness in his soul, nor his lips moving faster than usual. His heart beat is also stable, that implies that he is not false. This came from the one that used the search magic earlier.
My name is Celia Snow. Nice to meet you.
(This brought back time for him, in his last life a friend of his died in prison because of a false accusation. His ex framed him for assault but he did nothing wrong. And unfortunately he killed himself in jail. He couldn't face his family over a misunderstanding that was not even his fault. That is why at this moment right now Rial's eyes are dead despite having his pure eyes on.)
And looked them in the eyes and said; I do not want to go.
You don't have a choice in this. The woman said, but this time with more anger and frustration.
Yet come with us, she would wake and clear your name, the princess said to me but it was subconsciously. Deep in my mind she was speaking to me.
How can you speak telepathically to me. I asked?
You have a special eye called the pure eye, and I do too, but most importantly it seems that you have a bond between us.
A bond, how?
I don't know but I guess it is not important at the moment.
So are you going?
Sure, it's not like I could refuse anyway.
(They walked to the castle, it was beautiful, the glass tiles, the fence, the paintings everything in there was luxury. But despite that they took him to a torture chamber to make him speak the truth. But this wasn't what he was promised and the princess didn't want this at all. He was beaten up for a while but he never spoke the lie. Lies were poisonous. And this was something he grew up to realise. And eventually Celia, Christina, Roana and Rose stopped the guards that were beating him.)
From there they took him to the king and gave him instructions to follow.
It was crowded, the shadows below the ground said so:
It was about to meet the king of the nation.
Let him in. A voice said from behind.
And here is the young man who saved our precious and beloved Princess Flora.
"Rial".
And as I approached his majesty, I bowed down before him. And bowed my head later.
You may raise your head.
Thank you, your majesty.
What is your name?
My name is Rial, your majesty.
No last name.
I am terribly sorry, but my parents didn't use any last name, so I don't have any, sir.
And what happened to your family.
They died when I was young, around 3 and 5. Tears almost fell from my face but I kept my composure.
That must have been hard for you, I convey my apologies.
No sir it wasn't your fault, a man killed them. He is responsible for the tragedy.
Oh, yeah we were planning to reward you for your actions, and after considerable discussion we are planning your registration in the royal academy. He said with the calmness that fitted mine.
I have no objections to it, your majesty.
Okay then, you start next Monday. And you will also receive 100 big gold coins and your tuition and yearly school free has already been accounted for.
Thank you again, your majesty, it is such a blessing.
Oh yeah one more thing, "Do you have; the pure eyes"?
Yes, your majesty, but I have no tendency of revenge for what happened in the past. It is the past and it should stay that way.
He smiled and said you really think like an adult, yeah life taught you that lesson. He said.
Maybe who knows.
You may leave, your room is in the dorm of the school, Celia and Roana will show you the way.
