Princess on a mission

Everyone in the Autumn palace was worried as their princess was lying weak and senseless since 3 days. They could not understand the reason of her condition. The royal doctors could not understand why her heart is still beating when she is not breathing.

They all were scared as they knew that General is coming to meet her after 4 years and if he sees her in this condition he may kill all of them as they failed to take care of her.

Even though everyone knew that princess is not important to General as wife but she is still his responsibility granted by king. It's been 4 years since she created any trouble for anyone. Only the people who despised her felt her presence as a trouble.

The only feeling left for her in the royal palace was jealousy, hate, and disgust. She was the least favored by royals as she didn't marry any king or prince but a general of Black clan.

Still she was intelligent enough to be in the spotlight of royal court, bringing hot topics to it. They rarely heard her speak out of court. To her politics was the last thing that made her busy in all those years longing for him.

Whenever the second and fourth prince could not win over her arguments, they would purposely hurt her by bringing up General in the topic. The eldest princess would always taunt her yet she would keep quite and never reply back. Her recent arguments regarding the endless fights in Menoran was a hot topic, when she met an accident and is lying unconscious since then.

On the other hand Aella found her in a white empty endless space. She was trying to figure out that place, when a familiar voice called her softly from behind. As she turned she was shocked to see the women who looked exactly like her in front of her.

She was none other then the sixth princess and wife of General Black, as she chuckled sadly and said to Aella, "I always wondered why would he never love me ? Why would he never look at me the way I see him, Commander ?"

Aella was silently listening to her when she again spoke, "I was destined to be his by name, while you are attached to him by soul. He was yours from the start. It makes me happy now when I understood I did my best. It's just that he deserved to be loved by you. So please love him the way he deserves it. I request you Commander."

She vanished into the air, as Aella was still trying to comprehend what princess was talking about. Suddenly she felt like she was drowning and dying. She felt like she is not breathing as it was painful for her. She suddenly heard a voice calling her and she followed it.

She was breathing heavily as she opened her blue eyes which were lightly pink now. She ordered everyone to get out of the room as there were many maids in her room. There was a complete silence around her. She found herself in a beautiful blue room as she looked around.

She was still lying on the bed when Meiki appeared, he knew something was fishy so he asked her, "Did you go to the world of lost souls ?" She nodded closing her eyes as Meiki spoke to himself, "I knew it someone killed the princess Aella now her soul maybe wandering there."

Aella interrupted him and spoke with her closed eyes, "She requested something from me and is free now." Meiki excitingly climbed up the bed and sat on her stomach asking for information, when she glared at him to change the topic as she herself was clueless about her words.

Meiki gulped, while Aella demanded her about the information of this dimension, as he helped her to sit, she groaned in intense pain in her ribs. Meiki spoke, "Easy Commander somebody broke your two ribs."

Aella was annoyed when she held his tiny cheek in anger and spoke, "Speak now before I rip this little cheek of yours." Meiki turned pink as he panicked and again started to circle around her while she sat staring at him. He had to speak fearing how will she react when she knows the information is incomplete. He told the whole story to her.

"Well it's a bad luck for you this time Commander, right now you are in 16th century. You are married too. You are in bad relations with your siblings and step mother queen.You are not on good terms with your brother in law too. All the bad people hate you. They call you spoiled princess." He spoke.

Aella was shocked to hear her role when she again asked, "How did she die ?" Meiki gulped and said "I dont know." Aella huffed at him and again asked, "Who am I married to ?" Meiki again had no answer.

This made her angry as her hands started to burn with fire and she almost roasted him. When he ran away disappearing into the air shouting, "I will find Neil Alfiyya and Alga."

She sighed looking at her lightly burnt hands and wondered, what is she going to do about this marriage thing. It was getting darker when she went out of her room. Her servants all stood in line.

She was looking around when one of her servant said to her "Your highness General found about your health so he maybe coming back anytime." She was relieved for the time that she thought he will not be coming back as he never cared about her.

She groaned in frustration speaking to herself, "Why is he coming back when he never cared about her before ? "

The pain in her ribs made her even more frustrated. She was waiting for her trio to get back to her so that they could proceed with mission of finding black crystal as soon as she could and leave. She feared that this time she must not encounter him, she must not be distracted like before.

She was silently staring into the pavilion sitting on the ground admiring the snowfall. Somehow this snowfall made her remember him. She tried her best to ignore those memories.

She took a deep breathe when she heard someone's unpleasant voice from behind. It was the eldest princess, who taunted her "I thought you were dead." Aella looked at her coldly which amused her as she spoke, "I feel this offending women is still dumb to understand that she is not needed in this world."

Aella smirked at her and said, "Indeed I was dumb for four years not to teach you a lesson, but after this don't go and cry like a baby to your mother." Eldest princess widened her eyes and spoke, "You got a tongue now ?" She smirked and again taunted Aella, "Don't think he is coming back for the trouble like you. No matter how much you act nice and elegant."

She stopped when princess Aella's maid interrupted and spoke bowing her head, "Your highness pardon to interrupt but a man and a women came to the palace and are insisting on meeting princess."

The eldest princess was about to slap her as the maid dared to interrupt her. she angrily spat "Spoiled princess and her spoiled maids. How dare you interrupt me ?" Aella could not let that happen as she lost her patience now, she blocked her hand from hitting her maid and said, "Oh dear sister are you forgetting that this is autumn palace ! You cannot punish anyone here without my permission. It's getting late I think you should leave now."

Aella walked towards the entrance of palace when her eyes widened as she saw a beautiful white haired man along with the women who covered her face as she realized who they are she bowed to them in respect and spoke, "Professor Jeon and My lady Dalia, how can Commander Aella serve you ?"

Both of them smiled at her the way she is respectful towards them. She took them in her room. Dalia was concerned when she came closer to Aella and held her lightly burnt hands as she looked at Professor Jeon. He nodded and spoke "Relax princess we are here to tell you that don't use your powers as Menoran is under the reverse spell, the one who uses his power will be harmed by the effect of his own powers."

Aella nodded in understanding when Dalia spoke, "Do you know about Safdar's clan from Azaaruis ?" Aella replied, "The persian keepers ?" Jeon spoke in his serious tone, "Now you are princess Aella too and you have some missions of her to handle."

Aella silently listened to them as they told her how the fifth prince of Azaarius is under the spell of invisible mist and is after princess. She questioned them about what she has to do now ? They both looked at her and after a pause Professor Jeon said, "Nothing just follow General to the border and don't let him kill the keeper." Aella widened her eyes and said, "I am thinking of avoiding him, how can I invite a trouble by following him ?"

Professor Jeon chuckled and said, "Without your powers you only have him to help you, other's have their own problems to sort out." She looked at Dalia with her pleading ocean blue eyes only to be rejected by her too as Dalia spoke, "In this mission you have human to deal with find who among royals is disguised as Dark Highness. Find who killed princess Aella. Find how are you going to stop army of Azaarius. Find where is demon of wrath. Find where is black crystal. Find how are you going to save Menoran from endless distructions."

Aella looked at Dalia in defeat, like a dumb student and said, "Why does it feel like I am again in royal academy where you are punishing me for failing a test. You are a scary teacher." Professor Jeon laughed at her and said, "We need to help Alfiyya and Neil as lord of 13 sorcerers is active again, when we defeat him you will be able to use your powers again. We also have to help Alga to calm down the sea king so that he will not drown Menoran."

Aella sighed and said "So much to handle I am glad I have Meiki at least." As Professor Jeon treated Aella's broken ribs with his magical potion he again spoke "Don't worry you will have General and some new friends by your side to end this mess." As she whined at General's name, Jeon scoffed at Dalia and whispered, "The great warrior of Mystica ! She does'nt even know General yet and look at the way she reacts, she is exactly like her mother."

She was sulking alone in the palace in the middle of the night thinking about all the mess, when the strong wind blew blowing out every lamp's light she felt shiver running down her spine, her heart beat going crazy, when she felt a familiar presence around her.

She lost her balance as she was going to fall from the stairs someone held her from the waist. She froze at the sensation of that familiar touch. Her mind went numb as she heard the same honey voice speaking calmly, "Are you alright princess ?" She whispered, "Arron" his same rosy scent made her forget everything.

Her world collapsed when realization hit her that he is the Cold General and husband of Princess Aella. The man she thought to avoid is again tied to her by destiny, as she pushed him and ran away.

Meanwhile his commander spoke, "Are you sure she is just your responsibility?" He was silent for a moment still frozen on his spot, comprehending what just happened, when his words made Commander smile cheekily at him, "I am not sure now."

There was a whole lot going on in his mind, it's not like he didn't knew what happened in those four years. He had many questions to be answered. Many problems to be solved within the royal palace. He stood there in dark thinking why his heartbeat is not stable the way it used to be previously, whenever he met her ?
