In the large campus decorated with flowers that are still waiting to bloom. Somewhere, the shining sun shines even more and more magnificent beauty like a picture in heaven.
A small girl about ten years old with a smile on her face is still playing with budding cotton branches. She was as excited and excited as the first time she saw those simple colors. She innocently gently oppressed some of the most beautiful petals and then happily brought them in front of the woman who was sitting drunk with a cup of tea.
-"Give to mom"
The girl with a bright smile on her face, her small hands holding the cotton branches upwards.
The woman involuntarily turned her head and gave a loving and affectionate look to her little girl.
-"So beautiful, so let's accept it"
The woman with flowing brown hair as a highlight with a beautiful face full of pregnancy and happiness is watching the bright flowers suffocating with the smell of honey. If it weren't for this world, others might even mistakenly think she was an angel in heaven who was going down to roam people. With a beautiful face and immense kindness, she quickly gained admiration from the people in the castle to the civilians of the kingdom. People also know her as Pisces.
-"Mom, can I go out to play"
The little girl was excited with glittering eyes, longing for her mother's consent. Pisces was wavered by her eyes, but that's not why she accepted the request her daughter wanted.
-"I'm sorry, if you can't go if your illness recurs, I'll be worried, let's play at the campus temporarily"
Receiving an answer from her mother, the slightly sad smile on her face also gradually faded. Although she knew her answer, she still had a little hope. It was also that year, she felt like a bird in an iron cage that couldn't get out, and it was the dream of seeing the outside world that energized her to make her try harder.
-"Be good"
Seeing her sadness, Pisces slightly depressed and affectioned her daughter in her arms and comforted her. She suddenly returned fresh after receiving her mother's warm hug, Pisces was a little surprised but also quickly brushed aside the lines of thoughts and continued to have fun with her daughter.

When night falls, it is also the quietest state after a long and bustling day. She finished her dinner in the room, while the close maid who was cleaning the food tray on her table began to move forward, her hands crossed behind her back looking extremely leisurely.
-"Thank you very much Alisabeo"
-"The princess doesn't have to say that, this is my duty"
In response to her, Alisabeo smiled brightly and took the food tray, wanting to show her abilities and duties in front of her.
-"Then can you please replace me with a new cup of tea? If possible, get me your favorite tea, I want to taste that tea"
Alisabeo was a little surprised, but soon she seemed to be more enthusiastic, the smile on her face began to stretch.
-"Of course, the princess waits for me for a moment"
After saying that, Alisabeo flew outside leaving her with a somewhat odd smile on her face.
....
As the saying goes, Alisabeo arrived very quickly with a cup of hot tea in her hand. She hurriedly walked towards the table where Alisabeo was placing the teapot and quickly sat down.
-"Alisabeo, please sit down with me too"
Needless to say, I know how surprised Alisabeo was, gently tilting her head and looking at the princess in front of her eyes made Alisabeo even more curious. Responding to that incomprehensibleness was just her innocent smile.
-"Just sit down and I want to discuss something with you"
-"..."
*****
Breathe softly in the fresh air in the middle of a quiet night. This is the first time she has been able to visit everything from inside to outside the castle despite where she lives. Everything was so new and strange that she kept opening her mouth to show interest in the shimmering beauty of the items displayed everywhere in the palace.
After negotiating with the servant Alisabeo in silence, she is now free. But in the charter she can only go for a short period of time, so everything she wants to do must happen quickly.
Wearing in a small flowery way leading to a large empty yard. She was as eager as finding gold and quickly wanted to rush out to visit. But as soon as she put her heel on the ground, she panicked and sat down and hurriedly hid into the bushes next to her. Immediately afterwards, the glittering figure reflected on the grass, causing her to pay attention and deliberately created an opening to watch.
A boy with a tall body was holding a sharp sword slowly walking over. Looking at that figure, she was a little curious, only to see him stop at a large pillar and then enthusiastically practice with the sword to create a few very eye-catching lines.
For some reason, it made her extremely interested. Just like that every night she comes here more often, skipping a few places she hasn't been just to watch him practice. Over time, a strange emotion arose that she didn't even notice.
-"What's his name?"
Today, like many days, she secretly ran to her old place behind the green bushes. Waiting for a long time, today the guy came out later than usual, for some reason she felt impatient and just wanted to go out quickly to find him. But that thought was quickly extinguished by her, patting her cheeks lightly with her hands, she was finally determined to wait for him to appear.
....
Sitting with the shadow for a long time to relieve boredom, she was suddenly startled when there was a sound of footsteps from the empty field. Turning his head full of joy, but that emotion quickly faded away instead of surprise and curiosity.
-"A girl"
A girl with a small figure about eight years old was walking right behind him. Suddenly stopped under the pillar as usual, but it caused her to accidentally bump her face directly against his solid back. Just gently turning his cold eyes to the girl, he raised his hoarse voice right after that her face was full of seriousness.
-"Focus, Leo"
-"Yes"
Although she sat at a long distance, she could still see the facial expressions and intonation of the two people in front. The curiosity of the day was aroused, she constantly focused on observing, her heart was boiling like fire. The feeling in her right now is difficult to describe.
Both of them quickly entered the position, Leo stood in front of the breathing pole to prepare his mind and he stood next to him to observe. Hearing the conversation of the two, she also vaguely guessed that the relationship between the two was merely teachers and students.
....
Since that day, every day that little girl named Leo has always stopped by his training ground. She was a little suspicious and constantly afraid, for some reason she was extremely worried. But one day, when she was rushing to the familiar area she frequented. Although she arrived quite late today than usual because Pisces suddenly visited, there is a strange thing that neither person appeared on the training ground. She stood like the sky and gasped, frowned to try to observe, but all failed.
Suddenly from behind a sharp thing quickly rushed in close to her neck, feeling the inertial killing cold and turning her head to observe that what right in her neck was a sword.
-"It's just like my intuition these days. Tell me who you are"
Because the other person was standing in a hidden corner, she didn't know who it was, but that slightly familiar voice made her somewhat guess the person behind her.
-"I..I'm Cancer, my name is Cancer"
She was afraid that she could only lower her head to look at the ground, but suddenly reached out and pulled her forward. Somewhat unexpectedly, she could only stand still according to inertia and fall in that direction.
-"Enough Leo, I touched the wrong person"
Only now can Cancer see the face of the person who pulled him. Her eyes glittered as if to stop, the moment she accidentally touched his eyes, for some reason, her cheekbones were like fire and heated up and looked like a fever.
-"In the wrong person, what do you mean Aquarius?"
Leo frowned and clearly showed his own incomprehensment. As if to ease her curiosity about the girl in front of her eyes sighed, then slowly lowered her sword, her sharp eyes looked at Cancer who was making her hair creepy.
-"You are..."
-"Our princess, princess of this kingdom"
His words succeeded in making Cancer and Leo naive. The two were silent and stared at him. After a long time of realizing something, Leo rolled his eyes and thought that he was finally firm with his own conclusion.
-"So that means you already know but don't say"
In response to her, her indifferent eyes glanced slightly at the princess in her heart and then spoke solemnly.
-"Today is enough, let's go back quickly Leo"
As soon as he finished speaking, Aquarius gently let go of Cancer's hand, then turned around and left. But after only a few steps, he suddenly stopped, it was difficult to understand why Leo had not accompanied him. He turned his head to look at her and caught her standing still in a place with a pale face that was a little impoverished.
-"I...what to do, I've committed a crime...I..."
Not letting Leo finish the sentence Cancer suddenly grabbed her arm, although he was still a little scared as if to reassure himself as well as the person in front of him. Cancer tilted his head slightly and smiled brightly, that expression could not see any pressure.
-"No, that makes sense to me, I was the one who snooped on the two of you first. It's legitimate self-defense so don't be afraid"
-"But.."
-"It's okay this will be our secret, I won't tell anyone so you can rest assured"
Because she was a child, when she heard such a consolation, Leo's spirit quickly became better, seeing that her mood was relieved from her depression.
-"Are your name Leo? So how old are you this year"
Her face was much brighter, she was happy to ask like the first time she had a friend to talk to.
-"Yes, my name is Leo. I'm only eight years old this year"
Leo also enthusiastically responded. Suddenly in her heart, it seemed to evoke some emotion, unable to hide her excitement, she wanted to talk and wanted to tell her the truth a lot.
-"So it's two years younger than me. Actually I really want another cute little brother like you, so do you agree"
Leo was a little cautious and quickly turned his head to look at Aquarius as if to ask for advice. He didn't answer, just sighed for an hour, feeling like he had just brought a bunch of trouble into him. For some reason, just because of his unintentional actions, Leo happily accepted.
-"I agree"
...
Time passed, since that unexpected meeting, her life seemed to be lit up like never before. She laughed more, talked more, and ate and no longer skipped meals. It is because of that that Pisces becomes even more curious about this dizzying change. She did not hide from her mother that she had made new friends, but also begged her not to tell anyone else, especially her father, because she thought she would forbid her from contact with them. Everything went smoothly, which can be said to be the happiest time of her life.
They can have fun together.
She also let them see the garden she devotedly took care of.
But she was too subjective.
Everything was so good until her father found out by a servant close to him. The little happiness in her heart collapsed and, as she thought, her father forbade them.
In order not to allow her to come into contact with them, her father fired her servant Alisabeo to send someone else. This is like scooping cold water straight at her, earnestly begging won't work, she hates it. Everything seemed to be at a standstill, she broke down and locked herself in her room. No one could advise her not even Pisces.
Lying on a large bed, she thought that her mood was extremely confused. I don't know when her eyes gradually became spicy, a drop of sparkling hot and moisture kept flowing down her cheeks, she couldn't stop, why did she feel so warm. Had to rub her face against a smooth white blanket to hide her patheticity, she didn't want to deduce anymore. Almost when she was about to fall asleep, a few strange sounds suddenly sounded from the window. Gently rubbing away the puffiness that was still damp, she climbed into the bed and then slowly approached her head incessantly wondering.
-"Princess, are you awake"
A small familiar voice made her stand, Alisabeo's. Without hesitation, she quickly opened the window latch, the figure of the maid gradually became clear, really making her want to break.
-"Alisabeo I'm still here"
She hugged the maid in choking. Although Alisabeo was surprised, she was still happy to receive the gentle hug of the little princess.
-"Thanks to the queen's help, I can still work here but can no longer be with the princess"
-"That's so good, it's so good, I was very worried"
Alisabeo smiled slightly when she saw her look. Comforting her in times like this was essential, maybe she was too scared and lonely, Alisabeo knew and was very worried that she had to sneak here late at night.
-"The goddess princess is here to help you"
A little surprised, she looked blankly at Alisabeo who was still smiling brightly.
-"About what?"
...
Her bare feet running fast on the ground also made her stumble. But without time to whine, she kept walking, going where she found happiness. The joy did not last long, lifeless eyes looked at the distant scene. They are still there but not what they used to be. Not far away a muscular man was guarding the two of them. Momentarily looking at the faces of the two, she could feel that they were being forced. Yes, they have lost their inherent freedom. It's all because of her.
Poor god she collapsed to the ground, blaming herself and cursing herself couldn't help them. Perhaps both of them hated her, nor did she expect forgiveness from the two. Why is everything going like this. Walking in the long corridor, she is now like a lifeless person, with only hatred and sin left in her heart.
When she walked to a strange place, she was still unaware, but continued to move on until stopping at a fountain. Looking at the moonlight still shining brightly, you can only silently praise the great beauty of nature somewhere mixed with a little state of despair, making the atmosphere in front of her more melancholy, suddenly paying attention to a dark corner not far away, thanks to the moonlight shining on her, she could see clearly. Exactly the silhouettes of the two men and among them her father, also because of her instincts quickly hid in a dark corner of the wall with the view of the two.
-"It's late"
Her father was sitting leisurely with a cup of hot tea in his hand when he saw the shadow of that figure, he coldly placed the teacup on the table, then turned his cold eyes at the strange man she still couldn't see her face.
-"Just busy with something private, so if you want to see me..."
-"Convention"
The bewildered man still did not have time to finish his sentence and was directly interrupted by her father. As if excited, he suddenly laughed loudly and quickly brushed away the drop of water from the corners of his eyes, ignoring her father still looking at him with an impatient face.
-"Wherever you want to progress, but at the earliest you have to wait for your daughter to turn nineteen"
-"I don't want to mess with you anymore so it's best to do it as fast as possible"
After saying that, he stood up directly, the coldness on his face did not change, but somewhere there was anger. Dinh god would walk without turning his head, but he was surprised by his laughter.
-"Ah, I see, that's how it is"
He turned his head slightly and glanced at him with half an eye, he also gradually enjoyed him because of that look.
-"What do you mean?"
-"You know, are you worried, right, the death of your wife, Pisces"
His eyes rolled back full of murderous intent after his words, his hands clenched to create some crazy veins that could hide in front of his eyes at any time but all those complex emotions were encapsulated in his heart, he was trying to suppress himself. He gradually became more aroused than ever after seeing his expression, not knowing that in a dark corner she had witnessed it all.
