"Thank you for visiting everyone." The little girl with cherry blonde hair beamed with a smile.

The other girls bowed with their hands on their skirt. "It is an honor, Lady Mia."

Lady Mia then glanced towards us with a wide smile. "Thank you for visiting Lady Athalia! And to bring the crown prince, it is an honor."

That's also one thing I am confused about. Since when did Eldest become Lady Athalia?

Eldest smiled. "No, it is our honor to attend such generous invitation."

"I hope we'd see each others again." Surprisingly, Lady Mia looked at me and smiled. "At first sight, I fell hard with the crown prince. I'm looking forward to meet you again!"

I awkwardly smiled at her. "Thank you, Lady Mia."

She then excused herself and started a conversation with the boy. His gold eyes really is similar to Eldest.

"Let's go." Hearing this, she snapped her fingers and we returned to my room.

Finally, into the bed!

I jumped into my fluffy bed and covered myself in the sheets as I closed my eyes. "So good to take a sleep right now."

Eldest didn't respond like she usually do. I opened my eyes again and I didn't see her anywhere my room. "Eldest?" Roaming my eyes around, I didn't even see her shadow.

Oh, I guess she left too early.

I just closed my eyes and let the darkness surround me. Until I found myself standing inside an unfamiliar palace.

Am I dreaming?
