*Kling Kling*
The sound of metal.
Two people training in a hall.
>>Come on! I know you can do it better!<<
A tall men with dark brown hair, he's wearing a black knights armour.
My teacher, Raven.
>>Ugh, are you insane? I can't even feel my bones!<<
He stops... His sword on my throat.
>> You're strong! I knew it when I first saw you!<<
To be honest, I don't like to show of my fighting skill. The training isn't much useful too.
>>Lies... You aren't even sweating! And we've been fighting for hours!<<
>>Ok! I was lying because I'm hungry, ok?<<
That's true. I'm starving.
He looks at me with clear green eyes.
>>Alright, let's stop there. You should go to eat.<<
A maid is already coming, like she was just called. She had silver - green hair and her eyes shine like the sun.
>>Moira, is dinner ready?<<
She smiles lightly, she's mute.
Dinner... If I'm going to have dinner inside, I have to wear a dress.
>>Can I eat somewhere else?<<
Moira shakes her head. And her face looks disappointed.
Why does I need a maid who likes to dress up other people!?
*sigh* I'm not motivated enough but I have to.
-Inside-
My mother is already sitting at the table. Father is still at his office...
>>Oh, Pearl. How was your training?<<
I was avoiding her sight but she's staring at me, like she was looking trough my soul.
>>Please stop, I don't like it...<<
She knew what I mean but still asked.
>>What do you mean?<<
Fortunately the table was huge, I was sitting on the other end.
>>You know what I mean. And? Can you see a soul there?<<
I was serious. When I was born, my mother realized that I didn't had a soul. But I still lived like a normal person.
>>No, I can't see anything. Do you really think it's easy to get one?<<
Of course not. Father said : >> Livia, God said once. "Your children have to do a task to have an own soul. The task appears when the time comes." So keep your eyes open and listen to every word.<<
>>No, but do you think it's true?<<
A big mistake. Mother stares at me with a empty glare.
>>I don't think, that your Father is lying. If someone finds out that you don't have a soul...<<
I know, the kingdom is going to be in a chaos. And everyone is going to think that I'm the devil's child...
The room is getting darker.
Her voice is like a whisper.
>>Pearl, the castle walls are thin... Everything has eyes and ears...<<
Suddenly the room isn't as dark than before.
>>Mother, my apologies. But I need to go.<<
>>You haven't eaten something yet. Where do you have to go so suddenly?<<
I didn't answer her.
*slam*
The room is peaceful, a huge bed is in the middle. Swords are hanging on the walls.
>>Why did God do this to me?<<
I was pleased with long dark blue hair with a violet touch. My eye colour is red as blood. Magic is in every inch of my body. Studying isn't hard either. I'm the crown princess of a huge and powerful kingdom. Everything but not a soul.
*knock knock*
>>Who's there?<<
