Everything started that day.
All of it in a palace.
Where a powerful being dwells, buried in the ruins of what once was its grandeur.
Where I tried to die, fighting for my life at my best.
But even that was not enough.
And once again I was saved.
Looks like I'm... Alive?
I can still feel my body and I can think.
I can feel something in my head, what's this? There is something soft and comfortable I'm lying at... A pillow? No, it feels softer but much more springy than that…
I tried to feel my eyes and managed to open it. What I saw was the ceiling of a broken dome, light shone down from there, and beyond was the white clouds and blue sky.
"What a beautiful view. I won... right?"Well maybe since I'm alive.
Or is this paradise?
I suddenly felt a soft and gentle caress on my cheeks.
"Are you awake, my savior?"
Someone's face had blocked the view of the beautiful sky.
Hm? Someone?
"...Huh?"
But it was not any less beautiful than the sky. Wait, now that I look at her. She's actually very beautiful, I've never seen anyone who looks like her... A light yellow hair, green eyes and a faint smile that looked so understanding.
Hm? That's strange....
"Woah wait a minute— ack!"
The realization jolted me awake.
She was bending too much near my face, so when I tried to wake up we hit both our heads.
I was awakened by the reality that there is actually someone who let me sleep on her lap. And it was a girl, but more than that where did she even come from?
I made sure that I was alone before fighting.
I looked at her as I wondered who she was.
"Who... Are you?"
What's a girl doing here in a place like this?
"I'm a princess!"
