3 Yuki

My name is Shellia Emerald, and I am seventeen years old. Everyone called me Lia shortly. My parents only called me Shellia when they were worried about me or when they were angry with me. I have a pair of blue eyes like my mother and long black hair like my father.

Having black hair is not something usual in this kingdom. In our family, someone who can be the heir depends on their ability and skill. It doesn't matter whether they are girls or boys.

This country has strict rules that women can't do anything they wanted. But women with ability is a different thing. Women who can compete with men will have their freedom.

But today, I realized something unusual with this kingdom. This kingdom was not the one I used to know.

I opened my eyes in the morning, and I looked around. It was a cozy and warm place in my memories.

It was better than the cold palace I used to live in before. Everyone knew that I was out of favor, and they bullied me as they wanted.

As I thought about my past life, Mira stared at me strangely. Mira combed my hair and prepared my clothes. I didn't even realize that I wore a dress without me knowing. Mira never knew that her master could wear her clothes in her daze.

"....ss."

"Miss....."

I heard someone calling me, and I turned my gaze at Mira beside me. Mira looked worriedly at me.

"Ah, I am fine."

I didn't realize that I thought too much. I gazed around and found something strange in the air.

Many colors were floating in the air. It looked like a tiny bubble in the air.

"Mira, since when there were so many strange colors in the air?."

Mira turned her gaze at me, and her face was complicated.

Why did she look at me like that? Did I say something wrong at the moment?

But before I could comprehend her expression, Mira showed her brightest smile at me.

"I will tell master as soon as possible."

Mira ran out without looking back like a dog was running behind her.

What kind of color were these? There were so many colors, yellow, pink, black, green, light blue, dark blue, and many other colors that I couldn't determine.

It looked so beautiful with all of the colors in the air. It felt like magic. Was it my illusion? In my past life, I never saw this kind of thing.

I could see this beautiful scenery. It made me happy. I didn't want to remember my dark memories in the cold palace. It tortured me the most.

The air felt fresher than before. I walked outside and turned my gaze around the garden. It didn't change much from my memories except the color bubble in the air.

It felt like all of my vision became vivid than anything. I could even sense an ant from a radius five meters away from me.

I felt something growing inside my body. I felt there is something will burst out from my body.

I heard a small voice full of pain three meters from me. I could sense it hurt by something. My heart ached in pain.

I ran towards the voice and saw a little hamster on the ground looked pitifully.

It has white color skin and has soft fur. It has blue eyes staring at me while crying.

The cute hamster realized my presence, and its body trembled so much in fear. I didn't know who hurt it, but the wound was scarce and frightening for a little hamster-like this.

What could I do? I couldn't leave such a little hamster-like this. I took the hamster on my palms, and I wish that I could save its life.

I didn't know what happened, but the color of a yellow bubble surround my body. I saw the yellow light surrounded the hamster's body and healed its wound.

I relieved to see it could heal its wound. The little hamster opened its eyes slowly and saw a beautiful girl in front of it.

It was the first time the little hamster saw such a beautiful lady. The little hamster moved its body happily and looked grateful towards the pretty young lady.

I sensed its gratefulness towards me.

[Please give me a name.]

I heard someone calling me, but the most shocking thing was a hamster could talk like a human.

"You can speak?."

The little hamster saw that the pretty lady shocked to hear its voice.

[I am a spirit.]

The little hamster tried to charm the pretty girl in front of him.

I felt something abnormal here, but let's forget it for today.

"Yuki, how about I call you Yuuki?."

The little hamster turned in to a teenage boy.

[From now on, I will protect you, Lia.]

I nodded my head in confusion. What the hell happened to me?. I never knew that there were spirits in this country.
