Trip back to home did not take a long time, only thirty minutes or so, because everyone was drowned in their own world. When they arrived, she and Daniel quickly got out of the car, and went to their apartment. The apartment is not too big or luxury, but it is cozy enough to call home.
The moment she stepped through the door, she went straight to her room, and plopped herself on her bed. She stared at the ceiling of her room, and stay silent.
Danger will come? What kind of danger? Will she manage to keep her loved ones safe?
She thought she will live a happy life here, in this modern world, her second life. Far from the affairs of the royalty, from the jealous women's schemes, far away from problems.
She thought she could a normal life, but she did not think that fate has another plan for her.
She sighed.
It's been almost a year now, and she still is trying to adapt with her new life. It's quite difficult the first time, and she kind of couldn't accept it at first. But life must go on. And she just thankful for this chance to live again. Moreover, in this life she have someone she could trust and depend. Someone who love her wholeheartedly and willing to be forever with her. True love.Her brother, she would forever grateful for his existence. And them. Though she haven't meet them yet, but she sure they are someone who willing to give their lives to her, as she would to them.
'Ah, to hell with normal life! As long as she can live with her loved ones, then bring the danger! Bring it on!' she thought.
She couldn't let her precious ones slip from her grasp. God give her another chance, and she would live to the fullest. And she will make sure to not make the same mistake again. To trust people that obviously didn't love her.
Yeah, she knew it back then. Her sisters are fake. They were jealous of her, and wanted to kick her out of her position. She knew it. But back then,she was too naive to believe that they would change if she kept loving them.
That's the similarity of her and the previous body owner. We are too naive.
But now, she swears she won't let that happen again.

After quite a long time in a trance, she got up from her bed, and went to her brother's room.
The sun has already gone down, waiting the turn for moon to shine again. The day is near to the end,and the road is quite busy with vehicles of people from their work, waiting to go home to end the day with rest after half day of work. But still, many people is hanging outside, yet to return home.
She knocked on his door once, and immediately barged into his room without waiting for his reply.
She didn't know why but she just loves to do that, especially to her brother. Hah, she feels satisfied to see the annoyed face her brother makes.
He looks up from the book he was reading and glares at Daniella through his glasses.
She just grinned.
"What are you doing, Xan?" she asked while walking to his bed.
He didn't answer. Instead he ignored her while continuously flipping the pages of his book.
Daniella frowned when she saw he was reading. He hates reading. Since when did he develop a liking toward reading?
He suddenly looked up, and brought the book near her, urging her to read.
"Look at this, Xav. I found it in the library." he said.
She took the book. "What's this?"she closed the book, looking at the front cover. But it does not have any title. She flips to the first page,there is handwriting on the corner, read as 'To my beloved children'. The handwriting is neat and somehow beautiful, with each strokes.She touch it with her hand, "Us?" she looks up.
Daniel gave her a duh look, "Of course! Who else?" he shakes his head, looking at her with disappointment.
Why does his clever sister suddenly turned empty-headed?
She ignores his reaction, tilting her head to look back at the book. The cover is in black, pure black, without any hint of a title or something else.
"Look at this." he said while flipping open the book to a certain page.
The texture of the paper is quite rough, and the colour is no longer pure white, indicating the book is old. But the symbol on the page Daniel pointed at was clear for any naked eyes to see.
The symbol took the entire two page, looking so majestic and powerful. The symbol somehow looks like a crown or something like that, and it glows with a brilliant royal blue colour, looking so exquisite and unique.
She looks at Daniel, and he too looks at her. Silence followed them, as they continue staring at each other in the eyes.
"Okay, I lost." Daniel averted his eyes down, blinking hard.
She giggled, humour dancing in her eyes.
Then, she turned serious again. "What in the world is this symbol?" she reached to the book again.
But before she can touch it, her phone rings loud, demanding her attention.
She picks it up, putting it beside her ear after slides the screen to answer it.
"Yes?" her voice is empty, neither warm nor cold, sending whoever on the other side shiver ran down their spine.
She was silence for a while, listening to whoever on the other party speaks. Not long before she hung up.
She looks at her brother with a serious expression, matching her cold voice, "We have a problem."

After she took the call, they rushed down to Daniel's car, get in as quickly as possible, and speed down the road.
"Where to?"
She rummaged her back, looking for a gun. "Jag Club. They want to play." She then bends down, reaching under her seat, before come out with another gun in her hand.
"Your fav." she said, tossing a black and silver Desert Eagle gun to Daniel and he swiftly catched it with a hand while another hand on the steering wheel.
"Oh, hell yeah!" he shouts, glancing at his favourite gun in his hand.
Looking at his brightened face, Daniella gave him a lop-sided smile before looking down at another black and gold Desert Eagle on her hand.
She smiles a meaningful smile.
No one gonna stop them from turn the damn club outside down tonight.
