The couple was ice cold. The man looks just like my grandma with silver hair and red eyes while the woman looks just like my grandpa with black hair and blue eyes.
To be honest I still don't believe that they were my grandparents. But something about this couple was off. They glared at me like they are mincing me to pieces.
I feel like they are looking straight through me and they can see that I'm not princess but rather Ms. Sally the great neuroscientist.
The eldest child put me down in an expensive looking cot. The youngest child and the eldest one bowed and said in same time
"Greeting mother and father, Duchess and Duke. Hope you have a good day."
The man spoke up in a cold and piercing voice
"Good job, boys. I'm proud of you. I have given you some tasks you will find the details in your study. You may leave".
The children left. I was still laying in the cot I still was having a pretty bad feeling about them this is truly not normal.
The couple approached me. The woman looked shocked, her eyes was wild opened and her mouth was opened in sudden shock.
The man said a few word that I don't know. A light sparkled in front of my eyes. It came closer and closer and I was having a feeling that it entered me.
I closed my eyes for a second and opened it again.
The woman was hugging me at that time.
She said
"Dear, you're not our child, you must be from another world. Poor you, you can speak now and don't tell lies please".
My eyes were wild opened.
The man looked at me and nodded.
I try to say sally and…yes that was indeed right I can Speak. "w…well" but the problem was What can I talk about to them??! I was sweating.
In my life, I had never been sweating like this.
But suddenly the man spoke
"What is your name, age and which era you belong to? Reply quickly or I will not spare you".
'AA!! Please save me!! He looks so scary'
is the only phrase that was in my mind but somehow, I managed to reply
"My…my name is s…Sally. I'm…40 years old."
The woman's mouth was wild open again. While, man was visibly surprised and made a position like he is about to started a speech and he said
"Cough…Cough…Well, you are older than us though. Miss Sally, can you tell what you do in your world? Are you a noble or a commoner?"
well, there was no answer to the second question but the answer of the first one is
"I was a great scientist. I treated people with mental illness".
The man started thinking something but the woman seemed more…excited though. The woman asked me again
"Are you a noble or a commoner?".
Well, there was no answer to this question actually but to make sure that I live alive in the hands of this cold couple I told them that
"Well… In my world, there is nothing like noble and commoners. There is only rich and poor. I was not so rich but I was definitely not poor."
The woman and man looked at each other and nodded. The woman spoke up
"Well dear, if you're world don't have nobles or Commoner than, there wouldn't be Imperial family either, Am I right?"
I was pretty shocked that she catches it very quick and right. I said
"Well, you are right. There is not anything as Imperial family. But there are few people who are called 'government', they are the most powerful people in our country. Actually, people themselves choose the Government."
The man who was quite until now suddenly spoke up
"Are you talking about Democracy?"
I was more than shocked and well there was nothing wrong in it so I nodded. The woman signed and said
"You see, we promised Imperial family to give away our third child to them and you're the third child. But I don't think it's a good idea. It's now up to you Ms. Sally if you wanted to become a princess you can go to Imperial family if not than you can be in our dukedom".
I think I was stupid just now because I literally don't notice that even though I was in the body of princess but my so-called parents are Duke and duchess.
