"Tsk ! Pathetic!" A woman shouted as she kicked another woman on the floor. The woman on the floor just whimpered due to pain.
"What?! you'll just gonna cry there like the b*tch you are?! You truly are pathetic!" the woman said as she continues kicking the poor girl.
The woman just laughed, then said,
"You know what, you should kiss my f*cking feet right now, for I'm spending an effort on you. You must feel honored, you dog!"
The woman keeps on hurting the other woman, she then grabs her hair so tightly that it almost make the other woman go bald she then make her face her. She stared at the woman's face, now full of bruises and tears, and said.
"I really hate your annoying stupid little face. Be thankful I didn't feed it to the dog." she then slapped her face so hard that the woman bumped her head on the wall, causing it to bleed and for her to lose consciousness. Then came a man in uniform blowing in his whistle.

I woke up to that dream. It feels like that whistle woke me up. What's up with my dreams? I've been dreaming about like that since I was seven. A dream in what seems like an another world. I mean, that place is somehow dark and noisy with noises I've never heard in my nine years of existence. There are infrastructures that is very foreign, and the people there, particularly that girl, are very scary. Who are those people? Whats is with that place? Who is that girl? Who is that poor girl that she keeps on hurting? Was that hell? Is the scary girl the devil himself? Is that what's going to happen if I'll be a bad girl?
am I going to end up like that poor lady?! Those are the questions I have in my mind since the first night I dreamt about the poor lady, wait, I think I'm thinking to much. That's probably not hell. I've been dreaming about that world for three years now, different places, different scenario but exactly the same people involved. The scary hurting the poor lady. Though I can't see their faces, I can say that the other girl is scary. The way she smiled while hurting the poor lady, it seems like she has no conscience nor pity. Sometimes in my dream she would just push the poor lady, or slap her or grab her hair, for no reasons at all! It's like, it's her happiness to hurt people. The poor lady would just cry, but never do anything. I can't seem to fathom the fact that such cruelty exist. My late mother, even if I never got the chance to meet her, was a very kind woman. People in the palace know her kindness, and maybe, just maybe, if that scary woman meet my mother, she'll have a change of heart, but then, I would be jealous of her. I wonder how my mother is like. I've heard stories that she was a great Empress, loved by the Kingdom more than the Emperor himself.
My thoughts were cut off by a knock at my door. I looked around my room,the huge wooden door, my large vanity mirror, bright painted walls, the curtains dancing by the wind on the terrace, fresh air and brightness from outside, A picturesque sight, seems like straight from a fairytale book, yes, that's right, such cruelty doesn't exist in this world, not in our kingdom. I heard a knock once again, then I heard my nanny Helga's voice.
"Princess? Are you awake?"
I sat on my bed and stretched my hands a little.
"Yes, Nanny. Please do come in." I softly said as the door opened and revealed my nanny Helga with my crying twin brother, Leo.
Leo is one of my twin brother, we are triplets. Maybe that's why mother died giving birth to us. Leo came to me running while crying.
"Lia! Lia! Lia! l" he cried.
He jumped on my bed to hug me. I patted his head then said.
"What's wrong Leo? another nightmare?" He just nodded. He always have these strange nightmares. His nightmares are not like mine, his were ordinary nightmares, like monsters and such. He hugged me tighter when he saw my face in deep thought.
"Why can't I sleep here, Lia?" he asked.
I just smiled at him and gently caress his back, "Because our Leo is brave and strong and he can defeat those monsters without sisters help." He just stared at me for a moment then smiled.
"Okay, It is Leo who will protect sister from all those monsters." he said with conviction, I stared at my cute twin brother and slightly pinched his cheeks he seems happy while I did that, He really is super cute.
Our moment were cut off by a buzz coming, "LEEEOOOOOO!!!!!!" ah there goes the buzz.
Lean came in stomping his feet, he stood in front of us, Leo seems to be startled he hid his face and hugged me tighter. Lean put his hands on his waist and ready to scold a certain someone, though Lean looks like a mother, no doubt.
"Leo did you woke Lia again?! How many times do I have to tell you not to disturb our sister's sleep???" Lean said in a furious tone that made Leo shriek, he scolded Leo like the big brother he is, but we were of the same age Leandre is one of my twin brother.
"I,, I did not though sister were already awake when I - " Leo didn't continue what he was about to say, Lean just stared at him so eagerly that he understood what he was thinking right away, he then hid his face deeper in my back. He took a peek from my shoulders to answer our brother.
"I will never do it again! I swear this is the last time! I will protect Lia !" he said then jump off my bed and run out of my room. I stared at the door where Leo ran off to, I turn my head to Lean who was slightly surprised by our twin, he slightly shook his head and let out a deep sigh and then looked at me.
"He is so used to it; Running to you when he's scared" He said.
I stared at my twin brother who is looking like a mother who is disappointed by her son, how come we're of the same age but he's quite mature than Leo and me?
"I never once saw you run to anyone dear brother, Don't you have nothing to be scared of?" I asked.
He paused for a while, " I do. I do have something to be scared of..." he said while staring at me. We were startled by a knock at my door.
"Your highnesses, my lord, his Majesty is asking for your presence." the servant from the royal palace said, Then he added, " Please be prepare for the Royal Breakfast. "
Me and Lean cringed at what he said. 'ROYAL BREAKFAST' we mouthed to each other.
"Okay, we will get ready and get dressed" I said, I looked at Lean and understood that he have to go back to his room and get ready
I heard Lean mumbled, "It's just breakfast." as he walked out my room.
I chuckled at that. Lean will always be Lean. I got out of bed to prepare.
My maids went in and helped me get dressed, although its just 'breakfast' as Lean said, we must prepare our nicest outfits, for the 'Royal Breakfast happens only once a month. I got finished and went straight to the dining hall where we'll have our 'Royal breakfast'.
The huge door opened and there lies a long table full of mouth watering foods, and at the center seated my Father, The Emperor, and there are eight chairs four on each side, and only one seat is vacant, looks like I'm late.
My brothers were all seated but they all stood up as they saw me entering the hall, you see thus Royal Breakfast happens only once a month; it's the only time where we all have breakfast together, Me, The Emperor and my seven siblings.
