THROUGHOUT THE years, she become Natasha Ali, there are a few things that Natasha realized, which is there are a few things that was different from the Otome games that she played. It was not in any of the plot of 'I Fell in Love with a prince' it was not even shown or informed in any of the text, that Natasha Ali actually a Magic wielder. This might be because she is not the main character. Even if the villainess Natasha Ali in the game knew that she was a Magic wielder, it would be understandable, if she would want to hide it. Natasha Ali in the game, was really obsessed with appearance. Given how the Magic Wielder being perceived in this world, she wouldn't want anything to do with a Magic Wielder.
It was explained in the game that, Magic Wielder was looked down upon due to the Great War between Imperial and the Magic Wielder, 100 years ago. It was stated in the history that the war was started by Magic Wielder rebellion. A magic wielder by the name of Raelarr Narraenos, was planning a treason against the Emperor at that time. The emperor at that time was Matheo Alexander the I. Although, Emperor Matheo claimed victory in that war, it was not without a lot of bloodshed. A lot of life was sacrificed on that war, Magic Wielder and Non-magic wielder alike. Including the life of Emperor Matheo and Raelarr.
During the war, Emperor Matheo and Raelarr was the last one standing. They fought until Matheo was the first one who get to pierced through the heart of Raelarr, with his sword. Before Raelarr breathed his last on the tip of Matheo's sword, he released a powerful magic attack towards Matheo and that's when Matheo has fallen. Although Emperor Matheo has fallen, the Imperial has won. But...The sacrifices and lost to claimed this victory was immense, that the people couldn't find it in themselves to forgive all the destruction that was caused due to the Magic Wielders. Hence from that day on, people looked down, suspicious and shunned the Magic Wielders until today.
That was how the world building of the game goes. Natasha find out that she's a Magic Wielder when she was 8 years old. She took a different approached from the original Natasha Ali. Instead of being embarrassed in becoming the Magic Wielder, Natasha hone her Magic skill in secret. Magic are after all can be powerful if she wants to survived her death. No one in her family knows that she's a Magic wielder, because she's scared that her family will chased her out or even worse, killed her before even the female protagonist could kill her.
Now it has been another 6 years since she discovered that she can use Magic. Natasha is now 14 years old. Oddly enough, she never did forget her past life, even a few years has passed. Her memories of her past life is still vivid until today. Now, she perched on a tree branch of the biggest tree in their garden, playing with her magic. As an Ice Magic Wielder, she is now producing a small bird figure through her index finger, testing to control her Magic.
"What the hell is that Tasha?" Ace's voice, her older brother stunned her. She then quickly evaporates the small Ice bird. In that moment she can imagine her whole life passing in front of her eyes in a flash.
"I am so gonna tell father and Mother" Ace then run excitedly, away from Natasha's location.
"No! You stupid idiot, i am gonna be killed! Ace!" While trying to get up from the tree branch to chased after her brother, she lost her balance on the tree branch and fall down. She closed her eyes ready for the impact. She did waited and ready for her impact on the floor, however she felt that, it took quite some time for her to fall down.
Then suddenly she realize, that she was caught by someone, maybe one of the servant. She opened her eyes slowly.
"Tha..." Natasha meant to say thank you to whomever caught her. However when she realized who was it, again she is stunned. Hazel eyes, brown hair, a boy whose description she knows all to well.
"Prince Asher?" Asher's eyes blinking. He was thinking, how does Ace's sister know his name? This is the first time they have met. The girl seems so stunned, seeing his face and he felt that it is odd. For a moment, Asher stared at the girl's face on his arms, one thing for sure. She's the exact copy of Ace, even though they're siblings not twins. Maybe a bit more prettier?
"Oh shit. I have no time for this" Natasha then struggling to get off from Asher's arms, she finally did it.
"Err...Thank you" Said the girl before she run and dashed off to chase her brother, leaving Asher confused. Actually Asher did saw what the girl did with her Magic and he felt that, it was incredible. He have a hope that one day, he can be friends with that girl. From afar, he just stared at the girl running, until her figures disappear in between the doors. He then crooked a smile, feeling a bit of a joy in his heart, that he get to experience by himself, how incredible Magic Wielders are.
- Study Chamber. Same Day. Duke Henry Ali Estate -
NATASHA reluctantly, knock the door of the study chamber of her father. "Come in". As soon as she heard her father voice's she then open the door. Upon opening the door, she saw that her parents was sitting on the couch, expecting her. Then infront of the couch, she saw Ace standing with a smirk on his face.
Natasha, then walk slowly towards her parents. At this moment, she felt an immense anxious and nervousness.
"Is what Ace said true? Are you a Magic Wielder?" Her father asked. Natasha can hear a very sharp and strict tone coming from Duke Henry. Natasha nod, hesitantly. She started to feel scared. For a moment the air was heavy in between them.
Truthfully, although she did expect that she will be chased out from this family, she actually does not want to leave. She have grown fond of this family. To Natasha that never had a family on her past life, this family was perfect. Outside from the game plot, this family that she have here is actually just a normal family like everyone else. Loving parents. Although Ace really like to mess with her, she hates to admit it, but Ace can sometime be really caring and protective of her. She have a thought that, if Ace knows about her Magic, Ace will do everything to protect and help her. That's why she felt a sense of betrayal, when Ace straight away tell their parents.
Each and everyone was silent at that moment. She does not know what to think now. She felt like crying. In her mind, a lot of question pounding. Will she be killed? Will she be chased out of this family? While thinking, she saw that her parent get up from the couch. Afraid of what their actions will be, Natasha flinch and closed her eyes.
Then suddenly she felt a soft embrace from both of her parents. She then felt confused.
"Natasha, we are really proud of you. It has been so long, a Magic Wielder born in this family" Said her father in their embrace.
"Ha? You both will not killed me for being a Magic Wielder?" Asked Natasha in her almost to tears voice.
"Whatever nonsense that you're talking about Natasha Arda Ali?" Scold mom, ever so soft. The three of them then stop embracing each other. Her parents then go back to the couch and proceed with the conversation. This time, instead of a smirk Ace smile softly. He then take a sit next to Natasha.
"Truthfully, your Grandfather on my side was a Magic Wielder. I guess that's how you become a Magic Wielder yourself. My father was the last Magic Wielder in my family." Duke Henry started to explain.
"As you know, Magic Wielder was shunned, in this kingdom due to what was recorded in the history. Hence your grandfather, have to hide this fact from the people. What people don't know about your grandfather are. He have been fighting and working hard behind the Imperial, to get rid of things that a sword can't. Some of it was mystical beast or rare occurrences.
Although no one know of this, i can see how happy he was, that he get to use his Magic for a great cause. This is why, i am happy that you are the Magic Wielder. At least someone from this family can carry on my father's legacy." Duke Henry continued. Natasha nod in understanding.
"We will help you with your study of Magic. We can request for an appropriate teacher to teach you about Magic properly. But, i really hope that you will only use your Magic for greater good" Says Duchess Aurora.
Natasha then nudging Ace. "Did you know, this is how they will react" Whispered Natasha softly. With soft smile not disappearing from his face, he replied "Yes"
"Did Ace know all of this?" Asked Natasha. Then the 3 of them smile again and nod in sync.
"How come Ace got to know, but i don't? If i knew all of this from the beginning i wouldn't feel so anxious and afraid when i get to know that I am a Magic Wielder."
"We are sorry sweetie, those are told to Ace, during our casual conversation. We also don't actually want you to get involved, since you're really quite young and your whole life you only know that, the Magic Wielder was shunned and looked down upon. We just really don't want to scare you." Says Duchess Aurora. Duke Henry nod in agreement.
"For now, both of you should take rest. We will be discussing about this again soon. By the way, Ace. Didn't Prince Asher come with you?" Says Duke Henry. Then Ace gasp.
"Oh lord, i forgot about him. I will be taking my leave Father." Ace then rushing out to meet with Prince Asher.
"And for you Darling, please take rest. We will help you in anyway we can sweetie." Says Duke Henry again. Natasha then get up from the couch, to go to her room for rest.
Through out her travelling from the study chamber to her room. Her mind is working hard at processing everything. Oh...she felt so relieved after that conversation. She's also happy that she did not get chased out or get killed. That's already out of the way, now. The problem is Prince Asher.
Natasha did recalled that Ace was a good friend to the Male lead 'Prince Asher' in the game. Its just that, she did not expect for her to encounter him this quick and at their estate at that. This is a problem. Now more than ever, she determine to never again encounter the Prince and just avoid all the main characters, to survive. She only want a slow and peaceful days and not die.
