Chapter 4:

"I hope I'm not wrong" What is he talking about? And he is not here, did he left? I looked out the door, but it's so quiet. I should just stay in this room. What if he just went out to buy something. And that, I just lay down again.

"Just where the hell am I?" It's really confusing, I just dozed off in my room and suddenly being in this world. Did I really die? I raised my right hand, like I'm reaching out to someone.

That message seems suspicious now that I remember, maybe the sender is the reason why I'm here. I sit up from my bed, and thinking it seriously. I should investigate who's the sender. I stood up again, to go out.

"Wait, I shouldn't go out wearing this dress." I searched from the wardrobes, but all of it are men's clothing. I should just cut in half, since the dress wasn't wholly torn. I grabbed some scissors from a drawer. Glad, the drawers weren't tall, I just can reach it when I tiptoed a bit. After that I just tied my hair on the end, since my arms are short, hard to tie with long hair.

I brought some things that are useful, and covered my hair. So, it won't attract any attention. I inhaled and exhaled deeply and tried to reach the door. When the door open its self.

"Sir Adair?!" What the? Just I was about to leave, gosh! He looked serious at me, I gulped.

"Where are you going, little girl?" He said, and enter the room holding a paper bag filled with food. He put it down on the table, he took some glass and poured it with water.

"You should eat first. " The atmosphere really changed. I couldn't move a bit, I just want to run.

"You know, you're different from the patients I have treated." He continued, as he grabbed a bread from the bag and ate it.

"What do you mean?" I asked, he smiled.

"Your mana inside of you is powerful, those bruises you got, it's not normal bruise. You were being chased, right? By someone, who wished to kill you." I tensed up. How?

"Some wounds are from sword slash." I somehow remember the dream, that man who killed his men.

Goosebumps.

Am I in the dream? But it feel so real, that's what I thought first when I dream that.

"He is King Ainsley Von Acraige, Ruler of Luthanian Empire. And I'm the Royal Magician of Luthanian Empire." He said, not so confidently. When someone has a position in the Royalty, they should be proud. But, Sir Adair is different.

"Sir Adair, I don't really remember a thing. I woke up in pain, not knowing where I am and meeting you Sir Adair, it's not really coincidence." I now can move, I'm not scared nor tense. Maybe it's because I'm saying the truth.

He doesn't look convinced. How should I say it? I know he won't believe that I came from another world. I'll use that dream, because it seems I was really chased.

"Deep emerald eyes, he-" I was cut off when Sir Aide grabbed my shoulders and look straight to me.

"What did he do?" I gulped again, I should not mention the name.

"It's only fragments, so I can't tell you whole." He nod then let go. After telling him what happened, he sighed in frustration.

"You're just like 3 years old, yet you're being chased?" Like hell I know why he chased me. I was only brought here by that unknown sender. I just shrugged at Sir Aide. He sighed again, hearing him sigh annoys me.

"But the eyes are what makes me curious... He doesn't have knights or other nobles who has deep emerald eyes." Maybe he knows something about that guy.

"As far as I remember the King always interrogate his Knights to see if they're trusted or not. " As I thought, I'm really in the dream.

"Well, that's all. We should go." Huh? Where?

"We're going to the Luthanian Empire." Wait, what? Why am I coming with you, dumb ass?!

"You don't have anywhere to go and no one to take care of you." He bluntly said, it is true somehow. Is he reading my mind?

"But, what should I do?" I asked and he smiled happily. I can see sparkles from his back.

"Well, I'm looking right now for an Apprentice, and since you appeared. You'll be my apprentice." Apprentice? Like for magic? I'm still 3, what is he thinking?

"And maybe, you'll learn magic. " He said, while showing his purple mist from his hand. Wow, I've never seen this kind of magic.

"Thank you for taking care of me." I said and bowed. He smiled and patted my head.

"I'll consider you as my daughter now, you should meet my son." Oh, so he has a son. I hope he's nice too.

"Now, let's go. We have a long way to go." He cheerily said. I won't run away anymore from that person who tried to kill me. I'll learn magic so that I can defeat him.

They didn't know the man was watching them from afar, still hiding. His hatred to Lenria, was boiling. His soldiers know how he wanted Lenria to be dead.

"Hmm, Sir Adair took care of Lenria, huh? Tch, annoying magician." I should have killed him from the start. If only I wasn't born from a mistress, I should've been the rightful owner of the throne! That bastard King hide my identity from the outside. Telling I'm not his child. I'll show you how it feels to be left.
