1 Imperial Princess Poinsettia

"Where am I? This is not a hospital." I gasp and chortle in amazed when I realize that the words I uttered were not Korean. I look at the clothes that I'm wearing and scoff at the horrible taste, I look around at the strange interior, I also notice some women in their 16 and 18 are standing in front of the door grumbling and muttering among themselves.

"Can I have a glass of water?" I ask as I exchange glance with a cute looking maid in her 16. I thought she would be kind and a shy type as she shuts her lips and glancing around the other maids but I was wrong.

"What is she doing? Has she lost her mind?" says the maid.

"I think it's a side effect from being poisoned too much," says another maid.

"Our poor Empress Charlotte for giving birth to a lowlife like her."

I just sit there on the bed, watching them as they are gossiping to themselves. They don't care that I stare at them, but eventually their chatter is over. The room is againt become quiet, right then the door is opened. A blonde beautiful looking girl with a marvelous dress runs in in tears.

"Sister! My beloved sister!" she yelps as she holds my hands.

She looks so youthful, maybe 13 or 15. That blue pair of eyes, strawberry looking lips, white glowing skin that match with her blonde hair. Every men will be driven crazy by her beautiful appearance. When she sobs by my bed, the maids who stood still are gathering near her and try to pull her gently away from me.

"Our beloved princess Lobelia. Please stop your tears, our heart ache when seeing you like this."

"The 1st princess will be very well soon," says another maid.

"Please stand up, princess. Look at how those tears make marks on your beautiful face," adds another maid.

I can't believe with what I heard just now. They were being completely ignorant to me and then they act so kind to her.

"Sister, are you alright? I heard that you lost your memory. Is that true?," asks the blonde girl names Lobelia.

"Princess Lobelia, please stop and return to your room. We'll report everything to you once it's all settle up," says an older maid.

"How can I? My dearest sister...! Who had been struggling for a long time on her bed and she finally get up and she lose her memory!" Lobelia screams.

"We already called for a doctor. So please do not worry too much," the older maid replies.

I feel annoyed when they are talking things that I don't understand and how they don't even try to explain what happened to me.

"If this is a rehabilitation program for juvenile, just stop. You all are annoying," I say.

"Sister, what are you talking about?" Lobelia asks.

"Sister.. Sister.. I hate it. Stop it!" I yell at her.

"What are you saying? Please call me Lobelia like you used to," Lobelia asks with a sad face.

I really have no mood for this drama.

"Lobelia, drop your act. This drama is getting annoying and I thought it was real for a moment," I say.

"Sister... What do you mean? We all are serious and worry about you," Lobelia says.

"Get out now. All of you!" I yell again.

Lobelia tries to get up but she staggers when she tries to walk, every maids in the room support her and leave me alone. I finally can breath and rest my throbbing head, but unfortunately it doesn't last long until a door being opened roughly and 2 men enter.

One of them is looking calm and cold appearance while the other one has a cute and active appearance.

"You are really mean to Lobelia. Brother, do you think the 1st princess recognize us?" The cute man approaches me and stares at me.

"Who are you? Is this another play?" I ask lazily.

"Huh? Are you crazy? What is she talking about? I think she really lost her memory," says the cute man.

"Waking up from the dead and you become rude than before. I'm not surprise," says the cold man.

"I have no interest on what you two are trying to say," I exclaim.

"So not fun."

Two of them finally walking out from the room and I finally being left alone. It would be nice just get hit by a car and die than being here.

After a while, an old man in white clothing enters with some maids after carefully knock on the door. Everyone bow their heads gracefully and in the most modest.

"Humbly mee Poinsettia, the 1st princess of the Great Daria Empire. May I take a look on the princess for a moment?" says the old man alas a doctor carefully.

I don't get who or what is this princess playing but it's not that bad to play along.

"The breath is a bit weak but the everything look fine. Princess needs to rest more," the doctor says with a serious face and gives some prescription to the maids.

"Are you done with the play?" I ask unwaverly.

"What do you mean, Princess?" the doctor asks.

"It seems the Princess has suffer some memory lost," says a maid.

"I don't lose any memory," I say.

"Does the Princess remember the age?" the doctor asks.

"Eighteen..."

"Princess is twenty one years old," a maid answers.

"What nonsense are you saying?!" I ask a bit upset.

"Princess, do you know where is this?" the doctor asks again.

"Korea..."

At the moment, I realize that I am neither in a Korea or a

rehabilitation place. My face must have been replaced by another person's face, even I speak and understand language I never heard of.

With a shaking voice, I gather my courage to stare at the doctor.

"... Who am I?"

"The Princess. This is the Great Daria Empire and you are the 1st Princess Poinsettia and the successor of this empire."
