To their surprise, it was a girl. For a kingdom used to receive the news of a price birth as the first child for every king sits on the crown.
It was a bad news for the silly kingdom people to have a princess this time. The more they talk, the more the king gets worried about his thrown. He eventually was convinced that his daughter is a curse when he lost his queen for a cureless disease after the labor.
His consultants advised to take the princess' life before the situation gets worse and for the sake of controlling the people's panic.
'' My lord! It's your daughter, your first child.''
The king's brother and the defender of the kingdom firmly objected.
'' Do you think I have another choice? I've lost my precious queen and about to lose my people too.'' The king stood up insulting his brother.
'' If your majesty worries about her curse, allow me to take her away from the palace.''
'' I'll raise her in the eastern castle and won't step inside the palace again without your permission.''
The royal uncle kneeled before his brother and begged for his niece's life.
The anger on the king's face vanished and started to wander inside the room and his brother followed.
After few minutes, the king looked at his brother with a smile saying:
'' Do as you wish, I hope this will make the people calm down.''
'' Thank you, your majesty!'' the defender ran to take his beloved niece with him.
He didn't even think of having a nanny for her. He raised her himself. He was even the one who named her Elisha, by the woman he loved and wasn't destined for him.
An whole decade passed without any worries, and Elisha was a very pure princess who was beloved by all the subsoldiers inside The Eastern Castle. She used to take the king's permission to get inside the palace only on the king birthday to wish him a long healthy life, that was her duty after all.
In history books of Magia, there were legends talking about magical Magia. People were informed all over the country that Magia was built by four people who were as saints to them. They were the symbol of magic in Magia, and the ones who protect it by their magical power.
Well, no one had ever seen any of them, or even witnessed anything magical. The legend only said their names were Dak- Ho, Hye sue, the yudal mountain saint and the girl twin of Dak-ho. Mock was the great saint, and Ray, the white cloud. He was light as cloud, that's all.
On the morning of the king's birthday, the General entered Elisha's bedroom to wake her himself as usual to get ready for riding to the palace, but Elisha was different to him that morning. Her left eye turned to light blue unlike her right black eye. The General got panic and locked the door for no one to see it . Elisha wasn't allowed to get out her room until her uncle prepared an eye patch for her strange eye. People started to talk of her caught a fatal disease specially when The General sent that his neice was ill so that she wouldn't be able to attend the king's birthday celebration. It was the first time since she was sent away with her uncle. on the next morning, that time, it wasn't her eyes which changed, all of body changed.
" Elisha, you are a leopard!"
