NAM, Asteria's house. Present time.
The usual morning. A sunny sunrise greeted Renny. The light peaked into the room from the window panel and shone at Renny's face. She yawned several times before getting up from her single soft bed. She scratched her head until her hair became messier.
Renny pushed her blanket and woke up. She glanced at the wardrobe, mirrored there. looking at her face, the same face she saw every day. The face of an ordinary girl.
"Hey, I had a really weird dream last night. They said I was chosen as the Crown Princess. Funny huh?" Renny smiled, talking spoiled to her reflection reflected in the mirror. She believed that the last night was only a dream. Yup, No matter how hard she tried to understand, she couldn't, because one, she was never registered for the election, two she didn't have any talent or achievement, and three, she was not that worthy to be the future queen of this kingdom.
Yeah!! It was only a dream!
"Yeah, what a funny dream." Renny opened her wardrobe and searched the contents and took a uniform. Then she rushed out of her room to take a shower.
"Good morning, My Lady!" Sound of greeting came from ten ladies-in-waiting who lined up neatly in front of Renny's room. They has been there from the dawn, waiting patiently for Renny to woke up.
SLAM!!
Renny slammed her bedroom door. Her heart beat so fast.
[Who are they?? Why they called me My Lady??]
"No... No... No... it was just a dream!!" She murmured, "I'll count one two three, then when I open the door and they will disappear!"
One
Two
Three
Renny opened the door slowly, peeking outside, hoping all the maids would all gone from her sight.
"We will help you get ready, My lady." They said in unison again.
SLAM!!
Renny slammed the door to her room, her face was pale as paper. Her blue eyes were teary because she was too shocked. She was sitting in disbelief on the bed.
"So last night wasn't a dream?" Renny monologued with herself. She messed her hair slowly.
Knock! Knock!
Renny's door was gently knocked. Renny shook her head, not wanting to answer or open the door for them.
"My lady, pardon my impudence, I will enter." A voice before the door opened.
Renny was amazed looking at the beautiful woman in front of the door. Her posture is straighter even than an international model, her face is very beautiful, and her hair is black, straight, in a bob hairstyle as long as below her ears.
"My name is Alisha Romanov, personal aide to Your Highness the Crown Princess. I was hand-picked by Hos Highness the Crown Prince himself to serve you, My lady." Alisha put her palm on her left chest, paying respect to her lady.
"Errr... I... I'm Renny. You can call me Renny." Renny scratched her hair even though it wasn't itchy. She felt very awkward when people bow their heads respectfully to her.
"How could I dare, My lady? Soon you will be our Princess." Alisha with her flat face answered Renny.
"And, how should I call you, Miss?" Renny asked back.
"Call me, Sasha, My lady."
"Hm... What should I do, Sasha?" Renny got up lazily, she looked at the ladies who were still lined up neatly in front of her room.
"You only have to prepare your body and soul and wait for the wedding night as calmly and comfortably as possible, My Lady." Sasha took the uniform from Renny's hand and gave it to a maid. A maid nodded to Renny before taking her steps back
"Can't I go to school anymore?" Renny frowned, really all these new things made her very confused and clumsy.
"You will attend school under the guidance of the Crown Prince himself and royal tutor," answered Sasha.
"Wow, I don't need to school and do homework!!" The best thing this far.
"After you enter the palace, you will get a secretary who will manage all your daily schedules." continued Sasha then took a tray from a maid. The push tray was full of food and tea for Renny's breakfast.
"I'm not hungry." Renny refused limply.
"According to the protocol, you still have to eat no matter what, My lady. Because soon after married, your body must be strong enough to carry the seeds of the future King."
"You mean pregnant? I'm not even 17 yet." Renny's eyes widened in surprise.
"Kayla, help our lady eat and prepare herself."
"Yes, Lady Shasa."
"I'm leaving first, My Lady. Call me if you need my assistance." Shasa bowed before leaving Renny's room.
"Come, My lady." Kayla gestured for Renny to sit back down.
"My name is Kayla Alona, child of Viscount Alona. I am the head of the maids who will serve you, My lady."
Renny looked at Kayla, her face was very modest. Her blonde hair was pulled up and covered with a black hair net. At the age of 30, she looks very young and well-groomed. Even her walking style was more graceful than Renny's.
Kayla helped Renny to brush her hair first before eating her breakfast. Renny looked at the woman, a viscount's daughter meant Kayla was a noble. And now, a noble was brushing her hair. Wow, Renny started to feel like Cinderella.
"Like a fairy tale, I turned into a Crown Princess in just one night. Why did the Crown Prince choose me?" Renny still couldn't believe it, she asked Kayla out loud.
"His Majesty the Crown Prince's choice is never wrong, My Lady," replied Kayla with a wide smile.
"That's not an answer, uummm... What should I call you, Ma'am?" Renny asked with her clumsy face, the woman beside her was older.
"Kayla, you can call me Kayla, My lady." Kayla finished tie Renny's long hair so as not to disturb her when she ate.
"That's not an answer, Kayla!! Sigh... Why did he choose me?" Renny snorted, then shoved a spoonful of porridge into her tiny mouth.
