The Gist of it All

Seraphine POV;

"Okay so let me get this straight, I'm a 'Princess' in this world?"

"That's correct" The man named Edgar nodded

"I have powers that no one else has"

"Yes"

"I'm the Holder of the Prophecy that needs to 'Aid Celestia Continent from its Calamities and help stop a potential war that will break-out?'"

"That is the short version of it"

"A HUMAN girl, that looks like a BLOATED potato will save THIS Empire?"

"Bloated? You are healthy you are not bloated nor fat nor too skinny you're normal"

I looked at him with suspicion, Is this guy for real? He already has four eyes, and yet he's saying that.

"I can hear your thoughts you know?"

"Wha?"

He's joking, right?

"No, I am not"

I mentally screamed in my mind, he winced then blinks several times before he stopped cringing.

"I did not expect you to do that..." He shakes his head

"So you not being a human IS real"

"Yes" He nods again

"Lucianus is my older brother, I got teleported into another world since I'm the holder of the prophecy and mom delayed saving this continent because she wanted to live longer. I'm an Old Bag because the prophecy is keeping me alive, not to mention I'm a 'Princess' in this world, EW"

"I do not know why you seem disgusted with that Idea"

"Now I'm going to save the world in my mom's stead, how crazy does that sound?"

"It is not crazy it is the truth"

"It feels as though I'm in a fantasy novel, do the Gods scorn me that much?"

I look up glaring at the ceiling. I know that I can't see God, but I can't hide my disdain.

"The Omnipotent One does not scorn anyone"

"...Okay it looks like 'God' isn't in your vocabulary too" he shakes his head.

"In any case, how do you expect someone like me to save this place, can I just snap my fingers, and then it's done"

"No your highness" he chuckles

"Can you just call me Seraphine?"

"I can" I was about to smile "if I wanted my head dislodged off of my shoulder"

"But no one even knows that I'm a princess"

"I know and the Knights know your status cannot be ignored, your highness"

"But it's annoying being called 'your highness'"

"Then you should get used to it"

I groaned and rested my jaw on the table feeling miserable. I don't like being called your highness. It feels like an insult rather than a usual input for someone. Especially being called 'Princess' ew.

"Why are you disgusted by the idea of being a Princess?"

"I hate it, it feels like someone is teasing me"

"Have you lived like a Princess before?"

"No. I just hate being called that. And I'm not Princess material I'm Villain material"

"A Villain can also be a Princess, your highness"

I groaned once more and banged my head on the table. I cannot believe that this is happening.

"When is Lucianus going to come back?"

"Tomorrow I think"

"Damn, and I'm bored as hell I'm having withdrawals since I don't have my phone on me"

"Phone?"

"A gadget that you can listen to music, text someone and many more"

"That's a very entertaining gadget"

"Uh-huh and there's also"

I told him the kinds of gadgets, even medical equipment in which he's eyes glistened. He was listening intently to every word I said.

"What a fascinating world"

"It is..." I gave out a sigh

"This world has its charms as well your highness you will also like this world in due time"

"When will that be, I wonder?" I said turning my head to the side.

"You know your highness..."

"Hm?"

"You're taking everything quite well"

"No, I haven't. I'm still processing the information inside my mind, and I'm also convincing myself this isn't a set-up from a gag reality show"

"Gag?"

"Comedy Show"

"Comedy... Show?"

"Haaaaa..." I heaved out a long sigh.

"Pardon me for asking but what is that?"

I gave a brief explanation to him, and he slowly understood what that means.

"I see another form of entertainment...it's similar to Soap Operas here"

"You mean the theatrical ones?"

"Yes"

"Those entertainments are dying in my world"

"That's a shame actor on stage have raw emotion they portray characters well"

"Hm..." I hummed in thought.

When was the last time I even went to those theatrical shows?

"By the way"

"Yes?"

"Did the Crowned Prince tell you about the order of your uncle?"

"Order?" I raised a brow "you mean like... Ordering the Knights?"

"Yes"

"He hasn't said anything yet"

"Your uncle order the Imperial Knights to escort you to the Imperial Palace"

"Imperial... Palace" I stared at him "Hahaha" I chuckled "don't tell me my uncle is the Emperor"

"Emperor Cailum Agathangelos Allerick Armaclei, your Father's brother and the one that united Celestia Continent into an Empire"

"...What does he want from me?" I said my heart raced in anxiety.

"He wants to meet you"

"And?"

"He just wants to see his nephew, don't you want to see your uncle the Emperor?"

"I don't know how to act in front of someone as High Ranking as him"

"Hahahaha!" The Doctor laughed.

"W-What is it?"

"The Ranking System in this world depends on your psych energy level"

"Psych-Energy Level?"

"It means that your level and status depends on how powerful your Psychic Abilities is"

"Okay?"

"His majesty Emperor Cailum is on the top yes having the most powerful psych in the Empire but-"

"But?"

Don't give me suspense!

"Right now at this moment...who do you think surpasses the Emperor in psych energy?"

"..." I gave him a serious expression "... Me?"

"Correct"

"That's ridiculous I can't even use my powers now"

"Being The Holder of the Prophecy automatically makes you at the top Princess meaning you cannot bow down to anyone. Even the Emperor himself. Your power is your status in this world"

"Whoa..."

"Never lower yourself to anyone's status, you must raise your chin high and hold yourself with dignity. Never let anyone insult you or degrade you"

"Well I'm not a pushover, but I don't want trouble either"

"You are an Armaclei, after all, I doubt that anyone would dare insult or even think twice in degrading you. Armaclei's when mad is very vicious and ferocious just like the Symbol it represents"

I looked at the lion cub in front of me as it was sleeping. Its tiny wings flat on the table. I wish I was that relaxed.

"You make it sound like Armaclei's are a savage beast"

"Your great-great-grandfather was, and it runs in your veins"

"Lucianus told me that killing someone in rage is normal for us..."

"It is"

"I feel like shit though, I didn't want to kill anyone at that time even the time from before when Lucianus got transported to this world"

I felt my stomach churn at the dim memory of it all. It felt like it was a dream at the same time it wasn't. I don't even remember how I used my powers…

"Don't stress yourself out your highness"

"Killing is wrong..."

"That is your moral values"

"It is my moral values and I killed someone"

"Well..." The doctor held his chin "would you rather see your sister get killed?"

"Of course not!"

">I shouted as the equipment in the living room suddenly shook, I calmed myself down breathing in and out. He gave a small smile.

"You did not know how you activated your powers and used it, but you feel relieved that you saved your sister despite having harmed someone. You needed to make a critical decision at that moment, and you chose to save the both of you, you may feel guilty of what you've done, but you know as well that it is the right decision"

He has a point…

If I didn't do anything she would've died. In the end, what matters to me is I saved my little sister even if I just recently remembered her.
