You won't be able to be with the one you love, for that's the price you will have to pay for what you're about to receive.... Replied Anastasia. Why is that?..... Answered the mysterious lady. There's always a sacrifice to pay for requiring a little gift such as this. Anastasia thought for a while and then made up her mind.... I'm ready to do anything to be free from this curse. Answered the mysterious lady with a smile. You've made the right choice. The mysterious lady stretches forth her palm outwardly as she whispers a few words, almost immediately, a magical orb appeared right before her. She magically takes the orb and puts it inside Anastasia body who suddenly fainted. The Guardian smiled as she mutters. Let the fun begin.
Some hours lady, Anastasia finds herself in an unfamiliar room. She wakes up to find her friends had already surrounded her including Lex. She feels a sense of discomfort as she touches her head. Are you alright? Asked Lucas with a look of concern. I'm fine. Where am I by the way? The last time I remembered, I was having a chat with.... (She suddenly remembers as she kept silent) I can't tell anyone about my encounter with the mysterious lady. Diana curious. Who were you having a chat with? She answered. No one in particular. I thought I felt a little bit dizzy in my head, before I fell. Lucas answered. It must be due to fatigue. Good thing Princess Rosella was able to get us quickly to the castle to attend to you.... I'm glad you're back on your feet. Who's Rosella? She asked curiously. She's the lady who approached us some hours ago at the city gate... Anastasia surprised. She's the princess of Melolina?! Lex answered. You're right. She brought us to the castle and looked after your well-being while you were fast asleep. Anastasia thinking... why is she being so nice? Some hours ago, she was flirting with Lex. What a show off... Princess Rosella walks into the room. Greetings, 'Your Highness?' I was told about your strange ailment. Sorry I didn't introduce myself from the very beginning. Anastasia fakes a smile. It's fine princess. I'm just glad I'm ok. Princess Rosella then turned to Lex. Do you mind coming to my room privately? I will like to have a word with you... Anastasia exclaimed as everyone is astound. Isn't it shameless to ask a young man to come to your room?
Rosella stared at her, surprised. Excuse me. I just wanted to talk with Prince Lex about the upcoming sword and magical contest coming up in a few days' time. This is a good way for Prince Lex to ask for 'His Majesty' my father permission to take part in the contest. I know Prince Lex desires my father support to help in the war against the evil Witch, Margaret. By winning his heart through the contest, he will be able to create a bond with my father. It is never my intension to cuddle, 'His Highness' into my bed. I'm a princess and I have a reputation to protect. Please, pardon her manners, Princess. Said Lex. I'm sure she never means to say such words. Princess Anastasia can act a little bit childish sometimes. Princess Rosella smiled. I don't have any intension of keeping her words into heart. How about we all dine together tonight with my father, 'The King'. I'm sure it's a good way to get to know each other and familiarize yourself with the culture of Melolina. Lex said with a broad smile. We will be honored to dine with your father. The princess smiled. I'm glad to hear that...…
