63 This Will Only Look Good

"I love you because you are different. The way you speak, act, laugh, think... everything was so rare, and I had to grab it. I have to have you or else my world will never be the same again. Even though you always put yourself to trouble, I never felt any tiredness in saving you. Even if you ran away from me, I always had my feet ready to follow and look for you. Even if you hurt me, I'll still continue bleeding for you."

I felt my whole body tense up in a good way when he said those words. My eyes that were narrowed in anger opened softly, staring into his beautiful eyes that shine so brightly with his pure emotions. I put out my fire and continued listening to him.

"Even if you forget me, I'll still love you, Amelia Snow. My sweet, sweet, Amy."

I just knew he wasn't lying when he said he loves me. I knew it was true. It was real. We were real. It wasn't a lie or a made-up dream.

But I can't put out both of my feet for him. When he said someone used his appearance, I felt chills run down my spine. This world is getting weirder every day. One day I was thrown to this place with the use of black dust, and now someone's cloning someone?

"Your highness, what happened to you?" Asked one of the guards, but I just walked past by him and went straight to my room.

Good thing one of the maids was still there and assisted me in getting in that thick large skirt. This time, I'm wearing a red dress that matches my hair.

Not that I hate my hair color, it just looks weird. I like my old hair color before. But mother looks breath-taking with her hair. She's gorgeous. I wish I had half of her beauty, but here I am, staring at myself in the mirror. I look like the regular lady a prince wouldn't notice.

How come Forest finds me rare?

I smiled while thinking of his words. How can such cheesy words make my heart skip a thousand beat? I have fallen in love with a man twice. I can't remember who he really is, but it made my heart ache so badly that I thought I was going to die when the "other Forest" acted so badly.

The way he speaks was different, the way he looks at me and acts, it was all different.

"Miss, the ball will start in five minutes. Please go to the hall now," a guard appeared by the door said.

I immediately went to the hall and saw hundreds of people behind the door. I was a bit surprised to see different appearances.

This world isn't really normal. One woman looked like a tree, one looked like a fish, one looked like an animal... everyone looks so majestic and weird in some way. They were all wearing extravagant clothes, and I can even smell the strong scent their perfumes have.

Oh no, I can't go in there or else I'll get an allergy.

"Drink this," I heard my mother said as she, my father, and Kai walked towards me, "That will prevent you from getting your allergy, " she said.

They look splendid. Especially, Kai, he'll steal many hearts of women tonight.

"What are you looking for?" He said with that same irritated face.

I took the medicine from my mother which was placed in a vial, "Nothing, you just look handsome," I said and drank the medicine.

A few minutes after, I felt the walls grow heavy as the air thinned out.

Mother, father, and Kai stared behind me.

He's here.

"Your Majesty," greeted the guards by the door with a bow.

"My, why aren't you wearing the gown I gave you?" Asked my uncle, King Sorin.

I turned around and saw his arrogant face. I felt like puking the second he smiled at me, and not just a normal smile, a smile a pervert would give.

I remembered when he suddenly pulled me into a terrifying, bone-shattering, spine-chilling hug, as the 'other Forest' gave me.

Wait.

Could it be, that it was my uncle who used Forest's face?

"Why the angry face, my little princess?" Asked King Sorin as he held my hand and kissed it.

It felt like a rotten disgusting body was planted in my skin. I wanted to rub it and wash my hand a thousand times and sanitize it.

"The ball will begin now, Your Majesty," a butler announced from the inside.

The ball will begin now, and I'll soon be introduced to people who I don't know. I turned to look at my family. Their faces were painted with worry. I know they don't feel a bit proud of what will happen. Crowning me as a princess will only mean that I am under King Sorin.

But I don't want to follow a King who's clearly the enemy.

The butler announced our arrival, King Sorin entered first, followed by my mother and father.

"Just relax, alright? And don't fall into traps, please think even just for once," Kai begged before he was called in.

I smiled at him. He's really annoyed at me for being dumb, can't he understand that I just don't know what's happening?

"Alright, big brother," I teased as he walks inside. He gave me an annoyed look before he faces the people.

And I was right, the moment he stepped inside, I heard the young ladies' shrieks.

I tried to peek inside, avoiding being seen by the people. Where's Forest? I suppose he's there.

I stepped left and right, but I can't see him. He said he'll see me here. Did he leave?

I was busy looking for him that I didn't even hear my name being called. I just saw the door widely open.

"Princess Amelia Pyriane Sunneaire Snow."

I saw everyone staring at me. Not a single eye was looking at a different direction, everyone was waiting for my appearance.

My chest felt tight, my eyes grew heavy, and my whole body felt stiff. This event is overwhelming. I thought it won't affect me, but now, I feel like a painting in a museum.

Everyone was waiting for my appearance to judge me. Women were staring at my face, while men were waiting for my actions, they're here to watch and criticize.

King Sorin walked towards me and reached out his hand for me to hold.

I stared at it. Not in a million years would I touch him. I'd rather have worms live inside my body than touch his hand.

"Meteor," father whispered and gestured me to accept the King's hand.

"Come on, you don't want to embarrass us to the people, darling," King Sorin whispered softly with that same smile, that smile that I want to tear off his face.

I slowly raised my hand from holding my skirt. I was shaking so badly, and I can even see my pale skin. I was so nervous and if I don't do anything, I'll pass out.

King Sorin held my hand tightly, disgustingly tight, and raised it, "Here is your new princess," he announced with a loud voice.

Everyone slowly bowed, one by one, they bent their knees and back and bowed their heads before me.

"Do you like what you see?" King Sorin asked, "Everyone bowing before you, doesn't it feel good?"

I looked at my family and they too are bowing. Why? No. I don't like this. I don't want this. It doesn't feel good. It's terrifying.

I found my uncle so close to me as he leans towards my ear, "One day, everyone in this world will bow to us," King Sorin whispered.

Right at that moment, as fear flowed through my veins, I saw a familiar face.

Forest.

He was standing in the corner, staring at me with his back bent. He smiled and I felt relieved. The fear of the man next to me disappeared. I can even punch my uncle's face right now.

There was definitely no way it was Forest who threatened me earlier. But I am pretty sure, it was King Sorin.

This scene will only feel good if it was him who was bowing before me, with his face pretty beaten up.
