Stephanus’ POV

I just quietly read my book because I could not sleep so I decided to read first my balcony is open tomorrow because the view is beautiful then you can still see the beautiful moon.

I can only see the moonlight. Later in the silence, I heard someone shouting.

“No! Don't you all dare come near me?!”

I raised an eyebrow when he shouted not just once, but was followed by several more shots. So I quickly ran to the balcony and peeked next to this balcony.

The balcony on the other side was also open and suddenly I heard a woman shout and there I decided to jump to the other balcony to see what was happening.

When I went down to the balcony of the other room, I immediately ran in and there I saw the familiar woman.

And that's when I thought that Anastasia's room was just next door?

I immediately approached Anastasia who was now screaming and crying.

“Calm down you are just dreaming.” I said.

But instead of calming down, her screams grew louder and her crying and worse, her whole body tremble with fear. I held her hands, but she suddenly struggled.

“Calm down Anastasia!”

And as usual, I can think of no other way to calm her down and as usual, I have no choice. So I kissed her.

She seems to have woken up because she cries and struggles have stopped. It awoke and stared at me as if unable to believe what was happening. I also can't believe it.

“I told you to calm down, but you didn't listen to me, but instead you hit me.” I said to her while smiling.

Just like in my room, her room is also dark and only the light of the moon serves as a light for us to see each other.

I just stared at her brown eyes and her red hair shining in the moonlight.

This is how I feel every time she is near I feel like I will explode with the mixture of emotions I feel.

Slowly my forehead approached her forehead. I know we only met yesterday, but I can't help but feel it every time she is near.

“Can I kiss you?”

She did not answer, but I knew she was allowing me so I touched her chin.

On that night when the stars and moonlight light up her room, I sit by her side and kissed her.

Anastasia’s POV

I am currently walking around the palace, but now I am being careful because I do not want to repeat what happened last time that caused my misfortune.

I am currently walking towards the garden full of beautiful flowers.

This is our third day at the Stervallera palace so I enjoy the things I can enjoy here that are not in our kingdom. I stopped walking as I felt someone following me.

So I looked behind me, but when I looked there was no one.

What is this intense feeling. It was as if someone was always watching me for every move I made. I just took a deep breath and then just keep going.

I continued walking towards the Stervallera garden. When I arrived at the garden, my expectations did not disappoint me because it was really beautiful.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, enjoying the garden that I have only seen in my whole life.

I went to the other side and there you will see the flowers that you can really appreciate but one flower grabbed my attention.

I slowly approached and touched it.

"How are you little flower? Maybe you are sad because you are different from everyone else." I said sadly.

I stared intently at the flower. The flower I am holding now is near withering and I feel sorry for it.

"Poor flower." I almost cried at the flower.

"What happened?" I was suddenly surprised when suddenly someone spoke.

And there I saw a tall man whom I had never seen before. I was almost stunned and there I suddenly thought of Stephanus.

At first glance you can really mistake him for Stephanus because they have a resemblance not only to the body but also to the face.

"How are you beautiful young lady?" it's greeting to me.

"Good afternoon Sir." I respectfully greet him.

"Don't be polite to me. I believe that we are the same age. My name is Philip Cladius William and you are?" it's introduction to me.

"I am Anastasia Aislynn the princess of the kingdom of Anazariya." I replied to his introduction.

"Nice to meet you beautiful young lady."

"Nice to meet you too Cladius."

"Why are you crying Anastasia?" Cladius asked.

"This flower I feel sorry for it. This flower is not only different from others, but it's time is near." I explained to him.

"Is that so? Do not worry." I wondered about what he said.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked.

He suddenly smiled, which surprised me. He slowly approached me and sat down next to me.

He held my hand that was currently holding the flower.

Suddenly a very bright light, almost shone in my eyes.

And I can see with my own eyes how the flower that had just withered recently came to life. I suddenly looked at Cladius.

"A sorcerer? But, how?" I muttered to myself.

Cladius suddenly turned to me and smiled again.

"There the flower will not perish anymore. You no longer have to cry and worry." said Cladius while smiling at me.

"But how?" I asked Claudius.

"What do you mean?" Claudius asked me again.

“What I mean is. To my knowledge only people who live in the kingdom of Anazariya possess magic, but why do you also possess it even though you are here in the kingdom of Stervallera?” I asked him while confused.

But instead of answering me, it answered me with a mysterious smile.

In everything he does, this man in front of me is really very mysterious.

But in the middle of the conversation I suddenly felt a pain I had never felt before.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" I shouted because I was in so much pain.

I was holding in my head as I felt dizzy. And not only that, my chest suddenly tightened causing me to catch my breath.

“What's wrong with me?” I whispered to myself.

“Anastasia?”

I slowly looked at Cladius who was now worried about me. But because of the pain I was feeling, I could not answer him.

My vision was blurred, which caused me not to see much of what was happening around me.

After a while I was caught in my chest as if it was stabbed repeatedly so I fell on the edge of the flowers.

And at the last pain I felt my vision suddenly darkened. I was caught in my mouth when I suddenly coughed.

“What is wrong with you Anastasia?!” I even heard Claudius shout.

I coughed again but this time I touched a hot liquid and everything went completely dark.
