I woke up, huh. AGH I feel depressed.

I rolled around in my bed for a while. Sighing, I woke up and started to put my hair in pigtails, when I saw it.

I looked in the mirror. Ehhh? Who's that. Oh wait.

It's me. I guess I'm really not used to this since I do this every morning LOl. Yeah, I'm definitely getting dumber. And it's your fault dad!

I breathed in the morning air. The wind from my window blew my hair. It felt like it would be a fun morning. I ran out of my room. Magic lesson with Sierr today! Wow, I'm sounding super energetic today. That's unusual. Father's face came to my mind. It's because of you, huh.

I got mad.

Suddenly I bumped into someone as I ran through the hall. "AH! Excuse me." I quickly apologized. As I looked up, a brown haired, golden eyed boy stared down at me. "...what the hell are you doing here." He asked. There was a blonde haired girl behind him. I wasn't sure how to reply. Then I realized. I should just mention Sierr's name right? Since Sierr here is so influential?

"Uh i'm with Sierr." I replied. He flinched at his name. The girl behind him looked interested, "Sierr-sama is here?" She asked. "Um Yes, we came a few days ago..." I replied. "Uhm does that mean you are going to see him now?" She asked. "Yes. I-," I paused in silence, "Am."

She looked happy, "Oh my! May I follow you in your meeting?" Suddenly the brown haired boy interrupted, "Sister, we must get going." She looked sad.

"Um excuse me, but may I ask for your names?" I suddenly asked. "Oh well, I'm Liora Uodonna Amaria." The girl said. Ohh thats the first princess of Amaria, beloved by her people. That's why she's so pretty. "What about you sir?" I asked the boy. He stared at me irritated. Yo yo yo what's up with that, huh? "Even after learning my sister's name you still haven't lowered your head." He said.

What? "Why should I?" I asked him casually. "Because she is the beloved princess of Amaria!" He yelled. "So what?" I asked him. Maybe I shouldn't have said that but I have a major superiority complex so these thoughts are not in my mind as I spouted such things. I hope the readers forgive me for the avoidable conflicts that are about to occur because of my superiority complex. The princess was shocked. "How insolent, even if you came with Sierr-...Sama, you have no right to disrespect Liora!" He yelled at me.

I just realized this guy is her brother. Does he have a sister complex? Ahhh siscon. I like the imouto too but I'm more into the nee-sama's. That means this guy is royalty too huh? I wonder what I'm supposed to say to that.

I stared at him blankly. He looked more enraged. "Including the fact that you haven't once bowed to me either when you clearly know I'm royalty! How can someone have no respect for people above you! Oh wait, of course a commoner wouldn't know manners at all. How can I expect someone who lived like that to have any manners!"

I flinched. I really hate when people look down on me. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because I spent so much of my life staying silent and submissive to my mother so she wouldn't get angry. Maybe that's why I can't stand it now. I really wanna punch him. However, I know one thing. If I keep acting like it doesn't bother me before I act, he'll get even more angry. I smirked in my brain. I blankly stared at him, even blinking a few times.

"UGh You insolent commoner!!" He raised his hand. Is this guy really going to try and hit me? Oh shit it's coming towards me. "OI what do you think you're doing?!" Sierr yelled from the end of the hall, stopping him. All of us stared at Sierr.

"Sierr-sama!" The princess yelled, looking happily at him. "You dare raise your hand against my companion, Ryial?" He asked, his face showing no restraint of anger as he walked quickly towards us. Ryiall must be the brown haired boy who's hand is frozen in this hitting position. Sierr slapped his hand away from me and turned his head towards me. "Madeleine, are you okay?" He asked his hand touching my face.

"Were you worried?." I replied. The brightest, warmest, prettiest smile appeared on Sierr's face and he kissed my forehead. "Sure." Silence. DAUM. He's so cool! wait....

HAAAAAAH?!

Why would you do this?! This is so weird!? You're not my mom?! I THOUGHT YOU WERE??? WHO ARE YOU????!!!All of these thoughts went on while my body stayed completely still.

The princess looked shocked as tears filled her eyes and she ran away in tears. "Ah! Liora wait!" Her brother called as he ran after her. Sierr sighed, "Those two are so annoying, especially that girl. She's been aiming for me a while, maybe she'll shut up for a bit after that." Oh, that's why. My body relaxed.

"Let's continue our lesson then." Sierr said as he escorted me. "Yeah."

The lesson was over. I think I'm quite skilled at magic now. I looked outside my window. Was I sad about father? I curled myself into a ball. Resting my head on my leg, "I'm mad." I said aloud. Yeah, I'm mad. I did expect a situation occurring like this. I clicked my tongue. Tch. I'm mad. Really this might be better for me. I smirked. Conquering an empire is much more fun than beating one person for a throne. Yeah, I like challenges.

This time I wont get so attached to you.

Okay, Mikoto. Think. You've heard about this on earth too, right? Banished royals coming back with armies and taking the kingdom over again. I breathed in.

Utilizing all my pieces. I'm already at some sort of advantage, I have the connection-ally and magically powerful Sierr plus August. It's like a king, Queen and Rook against a full piece army. So how to build army? Too bad I can't google. If this kingdom is on our side, then that would be better odds. However, just how far does Sierr's connections go? If I can't even know the full uses of my pieces, then I'll get nowhere. With the fact the Florente empire is generally scary to other countries and such, it would be stupid to think a country would willingly try to conquer it. I can't forget how the people of the kingdom would react either.

My brain began to think so deeply, the whole castle was surrounded with some sort of aura. How to counter? How can I keep the people happy? Will Sierr even agree to it? If I lose Sierr my whole plan fails. Why did Sierr assist me? Was it our friendship? How far does this friendship go? Would he even be willing to support my invasion plans? Every thing on my side feeks as though it's unsure.

Knock, Knock. ?!

I snapped out of it.

"Leine? I brought coco. I'm coming in." August yelled bursting in.

"Bro you look stressed." August said as he set down the tray of hot coco and grabbed a cup. He placed it into my hands, it was warm. I put the cup near my face. August sat beside me on my bed, holding his own cup.

As I drank it all in, my body started to relax. As if the world it self was calming down.

"August, What are we gonna do?" I asked him suddenly. He sighed a bit. His eyes facing forward.

"I want to dye my hair back." He said. HUh? "That wasn't what I was a-"

"You know, when I was 5, I would've never believed you if you said I said that." He said.

"..." I stayed silent, just following his expression with my eyes.

"You said you liked my hair so, I like it too,"

"Haha! Anyway, I think your father was maybe put under a spell, so I think we need to remove that spell!" August said. A spell? I was only thinking of war tactics, but I never thought of a spell. If we find out what spell father is in, then wouldn't we get rid of the problem? "You're right! But it seems people other than father is under the spell too, right?" I thought it over.

"Yeah, the guards were probably under it too!" August ranted. "What spell could it be? Huh? I'll check the library, tomorrow!" I yelled as I chugged all of my coco down and happily fell asleep.

"She's getting more and more energetic huh?" August whispered while smiling.

(I was gonna add this part but I decided to cut it out in the end.)

("Hey... August you'll never leave me right?" I asked him.

He stared at me blankly. "....Well, I don't know." He replied.

"I don't want you to leave." I said, sipping my coco again.

He smiled, "If you marry me, no matter what, I'll always be by your side."

What?)
