Chapter 8 - Episode 8

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! I'm so Damm nervous!! I really regret not having a speech on introducing myself ready!" Screamed Salish in her head.

Standing Infront of a big and closed door, wearing a royal pink color gown filled with rich used of silk and beautiful embroidery designs mostly made up of lace which screamed out her identity. She wore a combination of white and pink hand gloves which reached till her upper arm with matching heels and loose hair pinned behind her hair with one of the best jewelries which could be owned only by a higher-class commodity.

Her lips were painted coral pink in color and her eyes were innocent yet brown and were filled with never-ending sight nervousness.

"Are you prepared, Your Highness?" Asked Sally.

"Well, no not really." Salish replied followed by a chuckle.

Salish suddenly flinched when someone announced in a comparatively high voice that the door was going to be opened.

Sally ordered her companions to fix the dress of their princess and so they did while she took another look on perfecting her hairstyle.

A moment later, the doors opened up revealing her pitied small figure with a strong aura of an independent women as every species existing in the ecosystem on Lavatron, was lost within the arrival of the newcomer.

Salish gracefully stood there and smiled to each one the person presents in the room. She scanned her eyes throughout the room only to find two pairs of eyes familiar. Her father, who was walking towards her and The General, who was standing near the royal seat of the King which had another chair placed next to him. The chair was enormously big and seemed extremely comfortable as well, she guessed it in the back of her mind that the chair surely belonged to a royal person.

"Does the seat belong to his wife? Wait, does he even have a wife? I didn't ask him about that matter though". Salish fell in the thought for a while but quickly regained her composure when her father reached near her, the first thing she did was to give him a gentle forty-five-degree smooth bow as a sign of respect towards the elder one. Her father lovingly took his daughter's hand in his and walked towards his Seat.

Her father took her hand and starting walking towards his chair with his chest puffed out with honor, pride and respect. The more our protagonist walked into the room, the more and deeper she started to feel comfortable with the ambitious while everyone present in the room could only admire her boundless beauty.

Reaching at the end of the hallway, both the father-daughter duo turned around and faced the crowd. Every person bowed to both the royalties and went to stand near their respective seats.

Salish Kim, who was quietly observing her surroundings like a curious kid, she is, she frantically noticed that every kind in the room which claimed to be royal workers, were mostly men.

"Have perhaps travelled back in time landing into a period of time in which women were mostly bounded to be good at being a housemaker? Whatever, but all I know for now is, under my guide things are going to be different from this time. It's either my way or highway." She thought building up confidence inside her.

"May the King and The Princess take their seats." Announced the royal announcer.

Within a minute, the group of seven maids came into the room, wearing plain blush dresses while carrying some of the most valuable treasure of the planet carefully in their slim hands and took careful steps towards The General who inspected each one of the items carefully and the moment they were done, The King got up from his seat grabbing attention of everyone present within the royal chamber.

"Greetings everyone. As you all may be knowing by now, that, the one and only heir to the throne after me and the royal who will continue the royal bloodline has arrived. I would like to introduce you to Salish Kim, The Princess of Lavatron. I hope that you all will help her and teach her many things during her life ahead here after all we all are here to learn and solve each other's problems". Said The King.

"We respect, King". Chanted the people.

"Let the crowing ceremony of our respected princess began." Said the royal Announcer.

One old lady, in her late 70s came forward followed by two girls, which Salish assumed to be her maids and her father who was standing beside her exchanged his positions with The General, who was standing right beside his chair keeping eye on the maid having the crown.

"May the godmother gift the royal book of dreams and future to the princess and The King may crown the princess, after it is done." Announced the announcer.

Everything happened in a swift second. Yesterday, she was like an any rich ordinary girl who was used to live her life the way she wanted after long years of mental and physical torture but yet again her luck denied her by sending her to this planet, but for what?

"May the newly crowned princess of Lavatron, do an honor of giving a speech to the audience who witnessed tonight's crowing session." Said the announcer.

Upon hearing his words, the godmother and her personal maid, Sally got worried because they had not prepared her for this. According to the godmother, her human granddaughter's work was to carry the crown and look pretty but little did she knew that Salish could do beyond that.

She looked at her father who gave her a slight nod, she got up and took two steps ahead, copying the same thing her father had done for introducing her to the crowd when she had taken her seat.

"Greetings to all, I, Salish Kim, the crowned princess of Lavatron thank you all for being here tonight. All though, this situation was very unexpected for mostly all of us, I would like to inform you that I am twenty years old on Earth which means twenty thousand years on Lavatron. I have not explored the starts and ends of the planet so, for now, no new orders will be announced but yet again, I will use all of my experience in life to guide the population on this planet for their better good. Also, if needed, I might be seeking some advice from every other person in the castle and even from outside the castle because different people having different goals and opinion matters the most to me as I shall be leading you all to the better future for better living. Please take good care of me and I am hoping to get along with you." She ended her speech gracefully.

And the next moment she knew that a loud round of applause took place in the room. Even her father was blown away by the boldness of his own blood. She looked back at her father who gave her double thumbs up and she could not by any prouder of herself.
