Unknown Information.

Last night was a disaster. Asher told me that he knew about me all along, and I couldn't think of any other way to avoid his question! I'm glad this body of a kid helps me with it by tearing up.

And now, he's already here in my room this early in the morning. Just what does this guy want from me? I won't believe him anymore if he says he's here for my mana!

How did he know about my different soul anyway? Is he really that powerful? Is looking into someone's soul easy for him because of his abilities? Then, are these Astra really that powerful? He can even tell that I am not the real Alina. What if he tells Orpheus and the others about it...?

Am I...going to die right away?

"Good morning, Your Highness. How was your sleep?" He asked. I forced a smile at him before I replied. His tone of voice sounds really suspicious.

"Good morning...what are you doing here so early, Mister Magician?" I asked. He scoffed and tilt his head as smirk at me. That smirk makes me want to punch him in the face. I know he's acting like that because he knew that this body has a different soul.

"You really enjoy being a kid again, huh?" I stayed quiet and tilt my head as if I don't understand what he's saying.

"Hmph. Do I really need to spill it all out for you?" His eye glowed as he look directly into my eyes with that annoying smirk. He even stood up and lean his hands on top of the couch's back rest as he lean forward.

"Clara Jacinto?" My eyes narrowed down to his as I stare back at him.

"Haha! Now, that reaction just confirmed everything!" I sighed in disbelief and cross my arms as I lean on the headboard of the bed behind me. I couldn't control my reaction at all.

"So you really know about it, huh? What, gonna expose me to everyone?" I asked. He throw himself to the couch behind him and leaned on the back of the couch as he shake his head.

"Why would I do that? It's gonna be a waste of effort," The heck is he saying? He even shrugged his shoulders?

"Waste of effort?" I cocked a brow.

"It's nothing. Anyway, what are you planning to do with your life now? Just go with the flow?" Wow, he's talking to me very casually now that he confirmed my identity, huh?

Can't say he's not allowed to do that though. It actually feels refreshing being able to talk like this with someone after being transported here.

"Hmm...I'm trynna plan my future," I heard him snorted, and when I look at him...

Is he suppressing a laugh? This jerk is laughing at me?!

"What?" My tone might've sound annoyed just now, because who wouldn't?! He asked me a question and I only answered it, but he's laughing at me?

"Future, huh? Well then, let me help you with that," help me? Is he really going to help me?

"At the age of Twenty, you're going to be a criminal,"

...

I blinked three times as I tilt my head out of confusion. Can he also see the future? Wait, no, why am I believing this jerk right away?

What the heck is he saying?

"Huh?!" Oh, I didn't mean to raise my voice. But that made him laugh and I wanna cuss on his face.

"Hahaha ~ your reaction is amusing," I grit my teeth, preventing myself from throwing hands. He crossed his legs and arms as he looks at me again.

"You should've seen your face," I rolled my eyes and sighed. It's tiring talking to this arrogant magician. I feel like going back to sleep. But I'm really curious about his revelation just now and it won't leave my mind!

"What I say is..."

Is?

"What I mean,"

Haha.

Really.

I wanna punch him in the face.

"Explain, please," I'm trying to calm this little lady's heart and her desire to throw tears. Seriously...being a kid is a disadvantage.

I forced a smile. Trying to be nice to this magician here.

"Hmm..." He's only wasting my time.

"Your brother's here,"

WHAT THE HECK!

He could've just tell me earlier before my brother arrives here! He did that on purpose, did he?

Cliffhanger is the enemy of ussss!

"Ali. Good morning," Oh, it's Diellzain.

And behind him is Themis.

I smiled widely as I get down my bed.

Time to act again, Clara. Dang it.

"Good morning, Brother Daeee!" I spread my arms as I run towards him. He chuckled as he prepare his hands to carry me.

"You look very happy. Did you have a good dream?" Diellzain asked after carrying me on his arms. And of course, like last night, he can't see Asher.

Bruh be staying there like he owns the room and is not even bothered by the Third Prince here.

"Yup! I dreamed about brother and Father and Themis and Ryna and Ande! Guess what, guess what? We rode a cloud and the clouds are connected to each other, and Daddy was the coachman!" I giggled as I motion my arms in the air just to tell him what I dreamed about---when in fact it never even happened in my dream. I even used the word 'coachman' instead of a driver. Because there's no other type of vehicles here yet except the carriage!

Anyway, my mind can't stop thinking about that jerk's cliffhanger. If only I can use violence here...

"Wow, that was a happy dream, Your Highness," I prevented myself from glaring at the annoying magician and just wrap my arms around Diellzain. It's tiring to deal with this magician even though we just met two days ago.

"Let's go to the dining hall for breakfast," Diellzain spoke. I nod my head repeatedly as I face Themis.

"Good morning, Themis!" Themis smiled at me and lower her head.

"Good morning, Princess. I'm glad to see that you had a comfortable sleep," she replied. I snicker and place my right hand on my waist before speaking again.

"It would have been so much comfortable if Themis sings me a lullaby ~" Please do it again. It's one of my relaxing times.

But...

Hah ~ life really is cruuuuel! Not just being transported here as a princess who will die in the future, this jerk of a magician just gave me another problem! What does he mean by 'you're going to be a criminal'?!

And he said it so casually too!

That just made my head spin. Was he just trying to make me his entertainment? He looked quite satisfied to see my reactions earlier. Still, if only I can punch that jerk.

"Don't you want me to sing you a lullaby, Ali?" Nope. Absolutely not.

"Wowww! Will you, Brother Dae?" I asked. I hope he answers 'noo, psych! It's a prank!'. But, that's impossible...huh?

"Of course. As long as it makes my little sister happy," Tears, just go back to my eye socket. If I tell him it won't make me happy, will he actually accept that answer without putting me under the guillotine?

"Yaaay!" I even had to raise my arms just to show him how happy I was. Haha. This is fun, but not so fun.

I turned my head to the magician as Diellzain starts walking. I wave my hands at him and gave him a small smile, but the jerk just smirked at me as he point to his eyes.

"Your eyes. They are cursed,"

Huh?

The heck is this stupid saying?
