The Ancient Curse (Cecillia's Point Of Views)

"Mirai… My Mirai is being sacrificed!?" he asked in disbelief.

I didn't like this. This was really reckless because if King Theodore found out that Mirai wasn't me, then something bad might happen to her.

I held the guard's hand. 

"We have to save Mirai."

"Your Highness…"

"Now."

I didn't want to be denied. At first, the man gave up, but I convinced him again to take Mirai away out of Birwick as soon as possible, and the man agreed to my request. The maid and I exchanged clothes. I used a bonnet to hide my hair. 

The guard asked permission from his other friends by saying he had to send a maid to return to the castle. I, who was dressed as a maid, managed to get away from Mirai's house. 

Together with the guards, we were going after Mirai who would become my replacement. I knew maybe my father wanted to protect me, but I couldn't let him sacrifice my friend. I would never forgive myself if something happened to Mirai.
