"Welcome back my niece." A woman who wores blue dress said and gaved her a wide smile. She then walked towards Alessandria whom she called niece.
"Auntie, it's good to see you again." She replied and both hug each other.
"How was the journey?" Her aunt asked, Madam Ariella Tyrill her Mother the former Empress youngest sister.
"Well it's quite tiring and maybe my ladies needs a drink. " She said and chuckled. One of the Voughn Dohr old lady offered all of her ladies something to drink and to eat.
They all drink and eat with laughter telling the villagers their journey since they left the village and all of what they did while they were away. Alessandria was Also happy looking to them happily having a conversation she then sat and in a chair and one of her ladies approached her. " Princess, are you okay?"
She sighed. " Yes of course, Fionna." The woman who approach her was her most trusted warrior whom she trusted for commanding the troops while shes busy or away.
"Did you miss your home princess?" Hindi agad makasagot si Alessandria nang marinig nito ang tanong ni Fionna. She smiled a bit before she replied.
"Yes I do...did you know the man earlier who mentioned My birthplace...his the first to said that and that makes me remember where I came from." Deep tone of her voice as she looked far. She then chuckled softly. "And your the second person who mentioned it again."
Fionna chuckled. " Well I knew you miss home, princess.....but why did you said that it makes you remember?" She then asked Alessandria with a confused face.
"Its because I've forgot my home since the day I came here.......but I missed my family....how I wish they would also miss me." Malalim na pagkakasambit ng boses nito.
Hindi makapagsalita si Fionna at tinin lamang nito si Alessandria.
They're conversation was interupted when someone clear a throat from behind at agad na tiningnan kong sino ito.
"Auntie." Saad ni Alessandria ng malaman na ang kanyang tiyahin pala ito. Her aunt nodded and looked at Fionna. " Can you leave us?" She asked Fionna, Fionna also nodded and left Alessandria with her Aunt.
Her aunt sat beside her. "Ive heard all of what you said." She then said right on Alessandria's face. Alessandria's face felt sad. " I'm sorry auntie but, what if they've forgot about me?...it's been 5 years since I've left and there is even no letter I've received from them." She said with a deep tone of her voice, she really felt sad mixed with anger inside her heart.
Her aunt grabbed her hand softly. "They loved you,and you knew that." Her aunt reminded her, that Alessandria's parents loved her even if she's away from them.
Alessandria smiled a bit. " Well that's what they've said 5 years ago."
She then looked above the sky and smiled. " There is someone's promised iam relying to, Auntie.".
"Do I know that someone?" Her aunt looked at her with a teasing smirk. Alessandria chuckled.
"You knew him, auntie."
"Him?" Her aunt raises her brow.
Tumango si Alessandria. " Yes auntie it's a boy, you knew him auntie...my cousin, Nicolaus." Alessandria explained about the person She was talking about.
Her aunt smiled. " Prince malek's only son, did you knew that I've heard about him these few weeks."
Kinabahan si Alessandria sa kanyang narinig at agad na nagtanong. " Ano, auntie?" She felt her heart racing as she was waiting for her aunts answer.
"I've heard that hes a freeman." Her aunt then replied.
Alessandria's face seems so shocked when she heard those words.
" Freeman? You mean he doesn't obey any rules? Nor my brother, the emperor?" She asked without a break.
Her aunt chuckled and nodded.
"Exactly, princess.". Alessandria's face glow as she looked from afar she felt really happy for what she heard from her aunt, that his cousin, Nicolaus was now a freeman of Corvinus Empire.
They're conversation was again interupted when one of the villagers called them for there presence to joined their little but beautiful celebration of the Voughn Dhor's lady warriors. They've then both ended their conversation and joined the others.

2 days had past since Alessandria's return and she then waked up early in the morning to feel the breeze of the air in the woods near in their village. She walked like a goddess in the forest whose animals were looking at her, the birds were also chirping from above the sky. She looked at the roses and grabbed one of them as she smells it,Suddenly she felt someone was watching her she then turned around and saw a man wearing a red cloak but he can't see it's because it is also wearing a red mask.
She gasped. " Who are you?" She then asked the strange man. The man was only looking straight on her eyes and she can hear the man's breath even if it is far distance from her.
"I've asked you for the second time, who are you?" Galit na tono nang boses nito. "If you don't answer, I'll swear I'll my sword!" Saad pa nito at huhugutin na Sana ang kanyang espada na kanyang dala-dala.
"Your exile is over." The man said with a cold voice telling her that her exile was over. She looked at the man's eyes as she speaks.
"My exile? But Iam not exiled." She refused to hear the word that camed from the strange man's mouth.
The man chuckled. " Yes you are princess, but it's over." The man's voice echoed on her ears. " Its time to go home." The man added as the strong breeze of the wind occurs.
Tiningnan Niya nang mainam ang mga mata ng lalaki at ng tila may na'alala siya sa pamamagitan ng kulay ng mga mata nito na parang nagbabagang apoy na siyang nakita Niya 5 years ago nung may magtangkang patayin siya. Napahawak Naman siya sa kanyang ulo dahil sa nakaramdam siya ng sakit.
She then remember the same word that the man said just now and the word from 5 years ago.
Its time
Its time
Its time
Princess!" She turned around when she heard someone called her name.
"Fionna?" She said. Looking at her lady, Fionna.
Binalik Niya agad ang kanyang tingin sa kinatatayuan ng lalaki ngunit bigla nalang itong nawala dahilan na na'confused siya at tiningnan Naman siya ni Fionna na nagtataka rin sa expresyon ng kanyang mukha.
"Are you alright, princess?"
" Did you see the guy standing infront of me nang dumating ka?" Tanong nito na lalong ipinagtaka ni Fionna.
"There's no one in here,princess when I saw you I just saw you looking afar." Nagulat si Alessandria sa kanyang narinig mula kay Fionna, she shooked her head telling herself that it wasn't just a halucination but she also felt strange knowing that she's the only one who saw the man.
"Is something wrong princess?" Fionna asked. She shooked her head.
"Ahm no, nothing...let's go back!" Tugon nito at agad na naglakad pabalik sa village.
Habang naglalakad ito papasok sa kanyang silid ay nagtaka ito ng kanyang makita ang mga villagers na nagtitipon sa malayo at ng biglang lumapit sa kanya ang kanyang tiyahin.
"Alessandria we have something to talk to." Kinabahan siya sa Saad ng kanyang tiyahin at tumango nalang siya bilang tugon rito.
Her aunt then started to speak. " Your going back home." Her aunt excitedly said her eyes widen ng malaman Niya ito, naghahalong kaba at saya ang kanyang naramdaman na hindi Niya manlang mapaliwanag at agad na sumapi sa isip Niya ang sinabi ng lalaki sakanya sa kagubatan.
Your exile is over
It time to go home
Its time
"So he's not lying." She whispers, proving what the man's said earlier in the forest was all true, she's going back home.
She then hurridly asked her aunt who send the news. " Sino ang nagpadala ng sulat auntie na babalik na'ko sa Corvinus Empire?".
Her aunt smiled. " Your brother, The Emperor."
"Kailan ako babalik?"
"Tommorow morning you will start your journey back home, princess...you can also have your ladies with you when you go back home." Masayang sambit ng kanyang tiyahin na siyang ikinasaya rin Niya at hindi siya mag iisa sa kanyang biyahe pabalik sa Corvinus Empire.
"Susunod nalang ako at may mga mahahalaga pa akong gawain dito." Her aunt added telling her that she won't come for their journey back home.
"Then I'll get my things ready, auntie." Tugon Niya at agad na pumasok sa kanyang silid upang ihanda ang kanyang mga gamit na dadalhin Niya.
