Chapter 3 - The Mission

Stheno's POV

Hi, I'm Lady Stheno, the 19 years old daughter of Lady Matilda and Prince Andreas, My Aunt Felicia wants to do a mission for me, they are looking for their missing child.

I always knew they had the eldest child because my Dad would always tell me about the events of that time. Aunt Felicia and Uncle Ashton really want to see their daughter who has been separated from them for eighteen years. They say it will also inherit their kingdom so she needs to be found as soon as possible.

It's just a pity because when my cousin finds out, she will definitely be upset with them.

Flashback

The next morning when I woke up, Aunt Felicia called me to the throne room to talk to me. I did not expect that their second child would wake up too early.

"Oh Hey cuz!" She called me but I ignored her but I just continued walking to the throne room.

It was good that my cousin did not follow, when I arrived at the throne room I was immediately opened by the two guards who were guarding. I went straight inside and there I found Aunt Felicia crying. Uncle Ashton calmed Aunt and when Aunt noticed me she immediately settled down.

"S-Stheno." the sadness can be seen in Aunt Felicia's voice as she says my name.

"Yes, Your Majesty" I said as I did a curtsy.

"We have something important for you to discuss." Uncle Ashton said seriously.

"I hope you keep it hidden with your cousin." Aunt Felicia said.

"You can count on it. Your Majesty." I answered and then curtsy again.

"I'm sure my brother told you a story about our missing child." the longing in the queen's eyes as she spoke was obvious.

"Yes, Dad told me that." I said politely.

"We hope that before the entrance starts next month you will find her in the world of people." explanation of my Uncle Ashton. "... And if she can't be found, hopefully before we go down to the throne, you will find her. Because she is the next heiress of all this." he added.

I thought. I did not expect that this would be the important mission they would have me carry out, to find their missing child.

"I think it's been 18 years since she disappeared from us. We want to see her soon." Aunt Felicia explained.

I nodded and stood up straight before speaking.

"I will do everything to find the missing princess. I will not stop, Auntie, Uncle. I will look for Astoria." I answered and smiled at them.

"Thank you very much, Stheno. When the two of you and your cousin return to Magica, you can immediately return here to start searching for the princess, you will be with Prince Trison in search of Astoria." said Uncle.

"Do you have any signs or something given to the princess when Mom took her to the world of people?" I asked.

"There, we left her with a round gold necklace, and in the middle was the Lunaria dragon that ignited the fire." Uncle explained.

"It's a big thing to know that you gave her a necklace. I can easily find the princess." I said and smiled at them both.

End of Flashback

We are currently riding in a carriage to Magica Academy with Trison. Prince Trison is the nephew of Uncle Ashton who is the son of his sister Queen Dhania.

"Stheno." Trison called me and I immediately turned around.

"Why?" I asked.

"I will wait for you at the gate later. I will immediately make a portal to the tree to get back to the palace immediately." he whispered so that Atlas would not hear what we were talking about.

I just nodded and stared outside.

Trison is 4 years older than me. We are not that close because I rarely see him in the palace. And then he was the prince of Ersatz.

"What are you two whispering there?" Atlas asked.

"Nothing." Trison and I answered at the same time.

"Hmmph ..."

Our journey continued to Magica Academy.

"Stheno!" Shreya called me when she saw us coming.

"Hi." I said and hugged her at the same time.

"Hey Stheno, Trison and ... Diasspro?" said Elgin.

"Hey Hey." said Trison.

As usual, Atlas ignored Elgin and Shreya then just went inside. We also went inside and were ready to fix the equipment. And when it was over, I immediately went to Trison at the gate.

"Good and you've arrived. I thought you were going to retreat from the mission." Trison said sarcastically.

"I'm not that kind of person Trison." I said seriously.

He just smiled and opened the portal, when he opened it he let me in first before he followed.

The portal took us to the garden, we just quietly walked out of the garden and then entered the secret entrance to the throne room. Arriving there we caught up with the maids who were cleaning. The chief cleaner told us that the queen and the king were in the field.

We headed for the field where the soldiers we were going to take to Earth were.

"Good and you're back." smiling Uncle Ashton said.

"It took Stheno a while to put away her belongings, Hahaha." teasing said of Trison.

I just stared at Trison and then turned my attention to the soldiers.

"You will take twenty-five soldiers into the world of people. Find the princess as soon as possible." ordered Aunt Felicia.

"We gave the princess a gold necklace and in the middle, there was a Lunaria dragon. You know what a Lunaria dragon looks like, don't you?" said Uncle Ashton

The soldiers immediately answered yes.

"I will use the Transformation Spell on the soldiers to hide their true identity. And to make it easier to find the missing princess." I said that Trison immediately agreed.

"Mutatio!" I said out loud.

The soldiers' appearances changed, it seemed like they were just normal people.

Aunt Felicia showed what the necklace they were saying looked like and it looked like they had taken the look of it.

"Find the princess as soon as possible." Uncle shouted and the soldiers shouted louder.

Trison and I also used the Transformation Spell and then at the same time entered the portal to Earth followed by the soldiers.

"Here we will meet before sunset." ordered Trison.

"Yes!" everyone answers.

Everyone broke up and started searching.

"I'll go first, I'll look for Astoria over here. I'll ask if they found a baby." Trison was about to leave when I stopped him.

"Mom told me that she left the princess in a forested area. I think it's just near here, that's where I'll start looking." I said and Trison just nodded.

The two of us separated and I started asking where the forest area was.

"Thanks a lot." I said to the old man I asked.

"You're welcome, young miss" said the old man and walked away.

He said that it was close to the creek. I was surprised when my wrist suddenly lit up, it signaled that the princess was just near here.

I walked around the first part of the forest but gradually lost the light on my wrist.

'Ugh ... I missed the unique way to find her.'

I tugged at my hair and then went back to where I was first stranded.

'Gone...'

I was surprised when a car stopped in front of me, and it was a color maroon.

"Miss, what are you doing here?"
