Chapter 11

"Her highness, Princess Aisha"

Huh, this doesn't sound like Lakias

I opened my eyes and saw Arsen.

He looked flustered seeing me crying.

I was rejoiced to see him again. He was still like how I last saw him when I think about it even he has blue hair and blue eyes the mark of a witch in Edenbell Empire.

How Elmir had knights, Edernbell was the empire of witches

Arsen trained at the wizard tower in Idernberg. The eldest son of a duke who received the title of the youngest mage and also my best friend.

Before I had died, I was 14 and he was 17 now he should be 19 as I died 2 years back.

We had many memories I used to pull him to play in the garden, read books together, and even dance.

I came back to reality when my mother wiped my tears and asked me

"Aisha, are you tired sweetie? Are you okay?"

I could see and hear how worried she was it was present in her voice and face. Father also seemed surprised as I cried without a reason.

Arsen had a small smile on his face. So he was the representative of Idernberg, his position seems to be much larger now but the best part was he was doing better than before.

I was too worried about Idernberg, I have to stop crying.

As he saw the situation calm Arsen knelt down and presented Edernbell gift.

"With her highness, Princess Aisha's first birthday Edernbell Empire prepared the most advanced magic stone. It has the protection magic and water magic inside, so it will protect the wearer."

After a while, father advised with a smile on his face

"We should let Aisha rest for now."

And to this mother replied

"Yes. In that case, shall we put Aisha to bed?"

and this discussion ended with Isis taking me with him. He took me to see the fireworks.

"Ah, this seems like a good place, there are no people and the sky here is also clear. Aisha you still haven't seen the fireworks right? It will 'Boom' in the sky like this and then it will 'boom' and give off a beautiful iridescent light."

he also made weird actions to try and explain how the firework bursts, and then he pointed at the sky and stated that the fireworks had started.

We both watched with awe visible on our faces and Isis constantly pointing in different directions and telling me to look.

Finally, he looked at me and announced

"Aisha, so pretty."

At that moment I felt like I could speak, maybe because there was another voice drowning my voice so Isis can't hear or maybe because I could finally open my heart and try again. With the little courage, i had mustered I whispered

"IIII"(Isis)

Did he hear me? maybe I should speak louder. Why is it so quiet all of a sudden?

"Aisha?

He opened his mouth blankly

"Are you calling me now?"

He looked incredible.

I looked at him intently. He was so excited as if he didn't know what to say for a while.

I opened my mouth and closed it again. I thought he would be very happy, but I didn't expect it.

He could cry. After all, Isis, he and I murmured,

"Ihioo~.(Idiot)"

I don't understand what happened to him, he just called his name.

Does he like me so much?

Isis is an idiot. He comes to find indifferent people every day.

He always gives me love and embraces me so warmly.

Isis is such an idiot.

Why does he love me so recklessly?

Why do I have to open my heart to him like that?

I am also an idiot too.

Yes, he and I are idiots.

"Aisha, is that true?"

"You called me Isis, right? right?!"

"Yep." I nodded helplessly.

Isis cheered happily, without even noticing that his voice was loud.

"Call it again, Isis, Isis!"

Beautiful fireworks bloomed one after another in the sky.

My family members heard the riot that rushed to the terrace.

"What's the matter?" the empress asked worriedly.

Isis beckoned to them, "Iris, Dad!! Aisha! Aisha she…..!"

"What happened to Aisha? Calm down and say it slowly." The Empress was taken aback and walked towards me with worry on her face.

I stared deeply at my mother's face. She is completely different from my mother in my previous life. Always embrace me with love, hold me in my arms, sing a lullaby for me, these looks are gradually in my mind

Emerge. The unbearable memories of the past are covered by these warm new memories.

I can talk, now I can talk. Nothing blocked my throat anymore. I inhale gently. It has passed. I can speak up. I opened my mouth.

"Mowe. (Mother)"

Because the tongue is not flexible enough now, I don't know if the pronunciation of "mother" is correct.

But it will get better soon because I can talk more often in the future.

Mother started crying on the spot when she heard me. She seems to have fully understood what I mean by my clumsy pronunciation.

Tears burst into my mother's eyes.

"Ah, Aisha…."

Mother covered her mouth and shed tears, her face intertwined with a sense of security and Happiness.

Isis also laughed. The emperor on the side strode towards me.

"What about me?"

He looked like a child who was not convinced.

"I want to hear you call me, too."

I spoke to him obediently.

"Baba (Dad)."

At that moment, my father's eyes sparkled, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he gave up and hugged me.

"Yeah, I'm your father, my daughter."

In his strong arms, there seemed to be nothing terrifying.

I closed my eyes.

But even if I close my eyes, the world has not become dark.

Colorful fireworks light up my eyes.

My family...

My heart becomes warm.

Incredibly warm.

Tears flowed out uncontrollably.

That doesn't exist anymore.

From then on, the nightmare that troubled me no longer exists.
