When Lyra woke up the following day, Crown Prince Lyrien was not on the other side of the bed.
Lyra yawned and stood up from the bed, she was already used to waking up and not finding him on the bed anymore.
"Elara," she called and Lady Elara came running immediately.
"Greetings Your Highness," she bowed slightly.
"Where is Lyrien," she addresses him formally, she only thinks that it is normal to address him like that now that they are married.
"His Highness left just now, but he left something for you," she said before she brought out the box that Crown Prince Lyrien gave to her to pass to Lyra.
Lyra took the box with a smile but her smile froze when she saw a sparkling golden crown. What a stunning vision!
The crown's foundation is made of 24-karat gold, polished to a mirror-like finish. The metal is smooth, with intricate details and textures that catch the light, giving it a warm, sun-kissed glow.
Delicate, precision-cut gemstones diamonds, rubies, or emeralds are strategically placed to create a dazzling display of sparkle and fire. These stones refract light into a kaleidoscope of colors, casting a mesmerizing glow across surrounding surfaces.
Lyra found the crown beautiful but she was curious as to why he gave that to her. "Why did he give this to me, when I am not even in the palace, what if it gets stolen."
"The crown symbolizes the love that His Highness has for you, meaning he is going to crown you as the crown princess of the heavenly realms," Lady Elara explained with a bright smile, she haven't seen something this beautiful before and she was happy that the Crown prince gave it to her lady.
She has always heard of it, but she has never really seen it. Today is indeed a great day for her.
"Well I don't cherish things like this, but I will keep it since it came from his heart," Remark Lyra before closing the box and putting it away.
"Your bathtub is ready," Lady Elara informed, finally remembering why she came to the room in the first place.
Lyra took her bath and changed to wearing one of the comfortable clothes, she took her sword and went to the mountains without informing Lady Elara, she wanted to practice alone without any disturbance.
She takes off the necklace and starts to practice alone, until she gets tired.
Lyra goes to the mountains everyday to practice alone and practice magic with Angel Eric later.
Lyra can now control her energy and she is getting full access to the power within her without any stress, she can now take out the necklace without the fear of losing control.
"How is she doing?" Angel Eric asked as he folded his hand and watched from far away with Angel Alice.
"She will be good in no time, her energy is so strong and the power she poses, she is truly the princess of heavenly realms and she is going to lift off Crown Prince Lyrien curse," Angel Alice uttered proudly.
"How is she doing in regaining her power and memories?"
"She is doing great in regaining her power but not memories, it is like she keep it lock and don't want to unlock it now, I think it will be better to let it be and work on her power instead, now that her energy is strong, she will regain all of her powers in no time and claim her position," Angel Eric said as he nodded his head and then walked back.
Lyra was so focused on practice, but she managed to hear everything that they said, hearing from a long distance is also one of the special powers she possesses, but she decided to hide it from Angel Eric for now.
She also noticed that Angel Eric can't guess the type of powers she poses which she can guess his powers, and also take some of his energy which makes hers to grow widely.
"Your Highness, that's enough for today you should rest," Lady Elara said when she saw how she has been practicing all day without taking a rest, she was afraid that she will fall ill again, but what she don't know is that her energy is so strong that it will be hard for her to fall sick again.
Lyra chuckled and halted, pointing the sword on her neck. "Do you want to die?" She asked coldly with a straight face.
Lady Elara fell on her feet pleading. "Your Highness, please spare this lowly servant, I beg of your mercy."
Lyra giggled at her sudden reaction and put the sword away, and sighed. "I have always wanted to try this, now that I try it I always want to do it, it is so fun," she said before walking away.
"Ye… yes…" Lady Elara was stunned and was short of words, for a moment there she thought that she had done something to displease her and she was going to die, but it turned out to be a joke.
Lady Elara ran after her and served her breakfast, she still had to study as she was here, so that she would return back to the palace to claim her crown and she would no longer be looked down upon anymore.
Angel Alice walked into the dinner area as she was eating elegantly.
"Why are you here, master , would you like to join?" She asked as she pointed the wings of chicken at her.
"Greetings Your Highness. I will skip that. I think it is time for you to go back to the palace now," she said politely.
Lyra nodded. "Have you talked to Lyrien about it?" She inquired.
"Yes, His Highness agreed to you coming back to the palace," she replied.
"Alright, make preparations for me to go back tomorrow."

"Are all the preparations ready?" Lyra asked lady Elara and she nodded.
"Yes, Your Highness, we can leave now," she replied.
"Ok," Lyra looks at Angel Alice and Eric, and they bow at her.
Lyra nodded at them and got into the carriage.
As they were traveling on the road, a group of bandits suddenly jumped to their front causing them to stop.
"What's going on!" Lyra asked.
"There are bandits, they just jump to our front, I think that they want to collect the things with us, stay in the carriage I will take care of it," Lady Elara said, scared of Lyra getting hurt.
"What do you want?" Lady Elara said as she took out all the money with her and dropped it on the floor, but they did not take the money and attacked her instead.
Lyra did not hear Lady Elara's voice anymore and instead heard the sound of a hit.
"Lady Elara!!" She yelled but she did not hear any voice.
She got out of the carriage, took out her sword, took off the necklace, the color of her eyes changed to blue immediately and her hair was flying in the air, she stood still staring at all of them. Her appearance changed to that of the Crown Princess of the heavenly realms.
