"Ugh~" I was slowly woke up and stunned as I looked at my surroundings. "Where is this--!?" I covered my mouth in shocked because I spoke a different language, my corner eyes caught some women fully dressed like a maid. They probably thought I was insane but none of them paid me attention and just stood there with their soulless gaze toward me.
'My throat is dry...'
"Excuse me, can I have a glass of water?" I asked with the most polite tone I could expressed. But suddenly they laughed at me and started to scoff and talked among themselves.
"Did you just hear that? She asked for water," said a maid with her arms crossed, I guessed she was the senior.
"I think she has gone nuts," said another maid with a ponytail. "Why is she waking up anyway?" "Our poor deceased Emperor for marrying her low life mother."
The words that should be said quietly, they said those out loud right in front of me. A loud bang stopped their chatters and a beautiful blonde with bright blue eyes girl ran to me, she flumped herself on the floor right by my bedside and held my hand while sobbing.
"Oh my sister! You have finally woke up!" she bawled her eyes out while nuzzling her face on my hand. I stared at her with mixed feelings, disgusted, confused, feeling bad, I never knew who she was. While the blonde girl was crying, the maids came to her and tried to get her up while comforting her in the most gentle words.
"Your highness the Princess, please get up. The 1st Princess needed some more rest and she just woke up so she might needed some times," said the senior maid. "It's true, Princess. Please do not cry, we are all hurt seeing you crying like this~"
But the blonde girl shoved the maid away and held my hands firmly. "Sister! Are you okay? Do you know me? Can you recognize me? I heard that you lost your memory."
I was truly feel disgusted towards everything. From the crying girl in front of me to the sugar coating maids. "Princess Lobelia, please return to your room and let us reporting the further news to you. The doctor will visits and checks on the 1st Princess," the senior maid said. "NO! I will stay by my sister side! Do you know how long did I wait for this day to come?" The blonde girl named Lobelia yelled.
"...Is this a play?" I finally spoke out.
"Sister? What are you talking about?" Lobelia asked. I gave every single of them a cold gaze and asked again, "Are you playing a drama right now?"
"I feel sick with every one of you. So noisy. So loud. And you--" I was rudely took back my hands from Lobelia's held. "I don't know who you are so stop calling me sister."
"Sister... It's me, Lobelia. Don't you remember me? I'm your little sister," Lobelia said while insisting and patting her chest. But no matter what I didn't intend to join this play any longer. "My head is hurt. Everyone get out," I said.
"But sister--"
"GET OUT!" I yelled angrily.
The maids had to get Lobelia to leave with them and Lobelia was sobbing on her way out. I heaved a soft sigh and massaged my temple when suddenly the door opened again, there were two men stood in front of the door. One of them had this cold look and one of them had the friendly look, definitely the annoying ones but the way they dressed were similar to how Lobelia dressed.
"I heard that the 1st Princess lost her memory. Do you know me?" the friendly one asked as he walked closely to me. "No," I gave him a short answer with an amused face. "Is this your acting as well? You like to create the fuss in the palace after all. How could you not know us?" The cold one spoke. "Do I look like acting?" I asked. To my question, they started discussing among themselves. I wondered if I ever existed to these people since they liked to discussed quietly or talked among themselves when I was around.
Then after a while, an old man dressed in white clothing carefully knocked before entered the room. The old man who looked like a doctor seemed to be quite a nobleman. "Meet Poinsettia, the 1st Princess of the Great Daria Empire. May I have the honor to take a look at the Princess for a moment?" He asked. I couldn't figured out who and what the princess he was talking about or what was this Daria he mentioned. I didn't want to listen to anymore of this play but I'd let the doctor had to say.
The doctor took some times to check on me carefully and packed his things up. "Is the play finally done?" I asked. "Princess, this is not a play. You have a dissociative amnesia," the doctor explained. "I don't have a single memory lost," I answered. "Does Princess remember her name?" The doctor asked. "Didn't you say Poinsettia?" I asked getting annoyed. "Then do you remember how old are you?" The doctor asked again but he remained so calm. "Eighteen," I answered. "...The Princess is twenty one years old," the cold looking man said. "What are you saying? I am still 18 years old," I said. "Princess, do you remember what the name of this country?" The doctor asked. "Korea--"
At the same moment, I realized that this is neither the youth rehabilitation place or the afterlife or the hospital. I remembered how I was hit by a truck and everything were blurred, then I woke up to an unknown language I never spoke off. "Give me a mirror. NOW!" I screamed. The friendly man rushed to get me a hand mirror and I saw my face, it's.... so different from my original face. "I" was someone else, the "I" was not me. "I... have become someone else," I uttered.
"You are still the princess," the doctor said. "The 1st Princess and the only successor of this Daria Empire, Princess Poinsettia."
