Keeion's POV

When I handed her the bracelet, she immediately stared at it. She became interested in that bracelet because she probably thought that the bracelet would help bring back her memory.

She touched the engraved word there several times.

"Ellie," she read it. "Is this really mine? Is my true name Ellie?"

I glanced at her. Her eyes spoke as she looked up and stared at me.  Among the three of us, me, Tedson and Arya who are here, I am the only one who can answer all her questions. That is also my instruction to them, not to let the woman in front of us know what happened to her unless I'm the one who will answer her.

"I already told you, that's your bracelet."

She's not just only complaining, she was also naughty. I told her twice that the bracelet belonged to her but she still didn't seem to believe it.

If she repeated her question, I would not hesitate to take her bracelet back. My patience is short. I didn’t want to answer her repeated question. That's just a waste of time!

From Manila, it took almost 8 hours to get here to answer her questions. She's bothering me so much.

"How do you get this bracelet?" She is still confused.

"The Doctor gave that to me when you were rushed to the hospital. That's the only thing you can use to find out your identity. All your belongings were burned including the car you rode in that night," I explained.

I know this is what she wants to know. She wanted to know and be enlightened about what had happened to her. Why is she now lying in bed with wounds and even lost her memory.

Now, all her questions will be answered.

Her forehead furrowed. "Car?"

"Yes. It was a car accident," I simply answered.

I started telling her everything.

I was on my way home from the office when I saw the car she was riding that collided with a large tree on the side of the highway. No one was passing through the area so no one else saw and immediately helped her. The back of the car was on fire when I saw her, she was obviously badly hit in that accident. Because I'm the only person there, I don't have a choice, but to help her.

I pulled her out of the car before it finally caught fire. She was unconscious at that time and almost lost blood. Her whole face was almost covered by her own blood. Her head was the most affected, probably because it hit the steering wheel. Her body was almost stuck there as well so I had a hard time picking her up. Fortunately, she has a slim body so I found a way and easily got her out of that fvcking car. I wasted no time in rescuing her because the car she was riding in was almost on fire.

Only the bracelet was recovered because she was wearing it. The Doctor gave it to me when I rushed her to the nearest hospital. At the same time, I called the police about the accident. I'd better let them know right away because I might be blamed for what happened when in fact, I just helped her.

I took care of everything myself because I had no one else to call. I was in the hospital overnight until she was transferred to a private room. She also stayed in the hospital for 3 days and I requested that she be transferred to the hacienda to be closely monitored. We have our own family Doctor so there has been no problem with the process.

She was silent for a few seconds. Her brain processes everything I say. She already gets the answers to each of her questions.

"Is that why I don't remember anything because my head was hit so hard?"

"Yeah," I nodded. "It was a memory loss resulting from a hard blow to your head because of a car accident."

She gulped. "How long is it supposed to be? When will all my memories come back?"

"If I'm not mistaken, almost one year," I replied.

That’s also what the Doctor told me. This type of amnesia lasts for about a year. It can still be done if the recovery is fast.

"No way! That's too long," she complained.

She started to growl again. But even though her face was irritated and she was an a****n when she spoke, I couldn't help but to admire her beauty.

She got a lot of scars on her face, but that was not enough reason for her angelic appearance not to appear.  I realized that she is still beautiful even though there are many scars on her face. What if those scars gradually disappear? She will be even more beautiful.

She has a heart-shaped face, dark brown eyes, small nose and reddish lips. She also has a fair skin and slim body type. She's indeed beautiful.

"How am I now? How am I now that I don't remember anything? Those memories of mine are gone." She sobbed.

I averted my eyes from her because I knew it was going to be a drama. This is often the scene of a patient who has lost her memory. It seems like you have completely lost your memory and that there is no possibility of getting everything back.

I left in front of her and went straight to the sofa that was there. I sat on the single sofa. "You're overreacting," I started. "It's just a short-term memory loss. You can dramatize us when your memory is completely gone," I said.

Tedson and Arya followed me. The two sat on the long sofa just next to me. They just kept listening because they were afraid to join the conversation especially since I didn't give them permission to speak.

They know how to obey my rules.

"You know, you're ruining the moment! I just want to dramatize so I can feel my condition." She rolled her eyes. "Because you're obviously always serious. Maybe you don't know how to smile, am I right?"

I heard Tedson laugh softly at what the woman said so I immediately glared at him. He immediately fell silent because I cast a bad look at him.

"I don't want to waste my time on your immature moves, Miss. I'm here to answer all your questions. Just tell me if you have nothing more to ask because I still have a lot to do. You don't know how bothered I am because I helped you. "

She caught my eye.

She's the only one who can do that to me. Everyone doesn't have the courage to look at me with a look like she's giving to me. The others almost fold when I meet them, what more if I stare at them with my sharp gaze? But this woman? I don’t know where she gets the guts.

She didn't know the person she was shooting a bad look at.

I have never forgotten the words she said to me earlier. About her intention to slap me and now, she glared at me and even retorted. She was already scolding me.

"Why? Who told you to help me, huh? Did I tell you? No, didn't I? It's your choice so I don't care if I bother you now."

My jaw tightened as she answered. I just didn’t let her notice it and I just stayed calm.

But Arya, she almost talked to the woman and requested to stop answering me in a negative way. Arya knows what I can do when I lose my patience.

"Instead of thanking me now, you have an appetite to act badly towards me." I chuckled. "I wish I had just left you there with your burning car."

If I hadn't been in that place and I hadn't seen her, she would probably be in mourning now. If I had left her there, maybe it would have been reported that a woman had collided and unfortunately, lost her life.

I didn’t lose sight of her so I noticed she was a bit conscientious. But she was still more assertive about being a complainant. "Why should I be grateful, you still haven't helped me completely. This help is still lacking. I'll thank you later when I get the help I want from you."

Is her face as thick as a dictionary? She was really eager to ask for help.

Isn't it enough that I saved her life, treated her and let her stay here in our mansion? Does she still want to ask for help from me?

Really, huh?

"You don't have a thick face, do you?" I asked bluntly.

But instead of being ashamed of what I said, she gave me a smirk. I don't know if she's annoying me or she's just really sloppy.

"You've already helped me so I'll take advantage of it. I just want one more help. After that, I won't bother you anymore."

I didn’t hesitate to ask what more help she wanted to ask for. "What is it?"

"Help me to know my family background. I can't leave here if I don't know where my family is. They are also the only ones who have the ability to bring back my lost memories, they will remind me of my personality." There was a look on her face that she was seriously begging me.

I could not speak immediately.

She wanted to know her personal background. Through that, she will know everything about her life. Everything will come back. Everything that had happened before would come back to her mind.

Tedson sneezed causing me to go back to trance. My deepest thoughts were erased.

I took a deep breath then averted my eyes. "I already hired a private investigator. He will investigate your background information so you don't have to worry about that. I'll take care of that."

"Good because I don't want to stay here with you," she said.

She always speaks frankly. She would say everything she wanted to say. She doesn't even think about every word she utters if she can hurt others because of her unbridled mouth.

I wanted to take the woman away, but I didn't continue when Aunt Cora entered the room. She was carrying a tray with only food and drinks. Arya immediately lends a hand to help Aunt Cora.

Aunt Cora is already old so Arya is always there to help. Arya treats the old woman like a mother because Aunt Cora almost raised Arya. Dad found Arya in a vacant lot near the hacienda when she was a baby. My Dad also immediately searched for Arya's parents but he did not return it to them because Arya's parents admitted that they could not give their daughter a life that she deserves. That is why our family just adopted Arya, raised her and let her study. The help that Dad gave her was not wasted because Arya faithfully served us.

Arya works here at the hacienda, like Aunt Cora who has been serving the Ruiz family for almost 40 years.

Even though they were servants, we didn’t make them feel different from us. Aunt Cora is very close to me. She has taken care of me since childhood because I was orphaned early by Mother because she passed away due to blood cancer.

"Have a snack first," Aunt said when Arya set the tray down on the glass table between us.

Tedson immediately grabbed the food. When it comes to food, he is always in the lead. He will not allow himself not to be the first and he will be angry if he runs out of food.

"I hope you choke," Arya whispered just enough for me to hear because she was on my left side next to Aunt Cora.

I ignored the snack that Aunt served because I was still full.

I turned my gaze to Ellie who was planning to lie down.

"What will you do?" I asked her.

The three next to me were already paying close attention to the woman.

"Sleep?" its questionable answer.

I smirked. "Who gave you permission that you can sleep now?"

She raised her eyebrow again. "Oh my gosh! Don't tell me that even my sleep is controlled by you?"

"Yeah," I calmly answered. "You are here in my territory so you know how to obey all my commands. You need my permission for every move you make."

She rolled her eyes and ignored the killer look I was giving. "If you don't let me sleep, what do you want me to do? Duh, I'm still lying here in bed so don't order me first."

"I just wanted to let you know what the deal is for everything I've done for you since you've been here."

She was too peevish to favor her with everything she wanted.

Nothing is free now.

My money and time were also wasted because of her.

"Well, I'm not going to wonder why I have to pay for all this. It's not obvious on your face that you're helping without asking for compensation." The second time, looked at me badly. "Tell me, how can I pay you, Señorito Keeion?"

I smiled, a little one. "You will work with me. You'll be my new personal assistant."

It is very spacious and almost complete with all the cooking utensils. I'm just not familiar with other things because they look old and I can't find them in the modern world.

    After King Valor and his five Prince Sons ate, I also helped clean up the mess. I stacked the plates used by the five Princes so that I could take them to the kitchen only once. A servant was assigned to wash the kitchen utensils. Fortunately, it's not me because I'm tired of washing dishes in the modern world, because I'm the cleaner in our house. There is no sponge at this time so it is not motivating to wash.When I had placed the five plates, I walked over to bring them into the kitchen. There is only a little clutter left on the table and my fellow servants can put it away. After I put the plates in the big basin, Kharim Celia called me to eat."Sit there because I'm going to serve you. We are really like this here, after the King and the Princes have eaten, that's the only time that we can eat finally," she said to me while pulling a chair and helping me sit down.Kharim Celia laid the plate in front of me and placed the bread. She also mixed me with coffee beans. I taste it and

    "Zariya?" I was blinded when I felt a tap on my right shoulder. I rubbed it first before waking up to look and find out who was the person who had disturbed my deep sleep."K-Kharim Celia? Is it five o'clock?"I'm yawning strangely because I'm still not losing sleep. I'm not used to waking up this early. It often even takes me to eleven o'clock when there is no school in the modern world. We were able to save on food because I had breakfast and lunch at the same time. But Mama's sermon is what I take every time I wake up."Not yet but you need to get up. Today is the day you will report to your Queen Mother," he whispered to me.No one else can hear so why does he have to whisper? There are only the two of us in the room."Princess Amity, you need to come back before the Princes wake up," it added.She got up and went to the cabinet that was just on the side of her bed. She seemed to be looking for something and in a few minutes she handed me a cloak."What is this for?" I asked when

    "Ah... Uhm.. I was-," I trembled.I don’t know what I’m going to excuse, what I’m going to tell them. I turned to Kharim Celia but even she had traces of fear and concern on her face."Zariya and I were together earlier."I turned to the person who spoke. He just came in and walked straight to the dining room table without even looking at me. He didn't care that he was the only one not at the table and he was the only one they were waiting for.“She took herbal medicines,” Prince Cozen added. He sat down in the chair that was for him.How did he tell me that I took herbs? Anyway, I'm actually carrying herbs so I'll just ride what he says instead of getting caught."Yes, Prince Cozen is right. I had a hard time finding medicinal plants in the forest so I got up early. I'm sorry if I'm late and I didn't help in preparing the five Princes' breakfast," I apologized."It's better if you call a guard to accompany you to get the herbs then, you won't be late and your safety will also be ensu

    "Zariya, you seem to be thinking deeply?" "Huh?" My trance returned when the person opposite me, Ysabelle, spoke. We are currently in the lake now and busy washing the clothes of the five Princes and also including other fabrics used in the palace. This was the day set aside for laundry and Ysabelle and I were assigned to do this work. This is also the first time I have been to this stream. This stream is so clean, unlike the modern world where garbage is dumped, that even the color of the water you would think of coffee because of its earthy color. In the stream of the Kingdom of Norland, you can even bathe in super clean water. Not a single dirt you can see floating. Its mineral-like water makes you soak. If I am not mistaken, this stream is also connected to the lake that is there in the palace garden. It was only a few kilometers away from the palace but even though it was very close, some soldiers still followed us. Think about it, our role here is servant but we also have a

    "Is everything all right? Have the tables to be used later been taken out? Are there enough chairs out there?" Kharim Celia asked, confused. Earlier she was back and forth on the walk. She had almost gone around the whole kitchen but not one, no one answered her series of questions. All of us here are busy with him— his work assigned to us. Even if I want to answer, I don't know what to answer. I don't even know what's exactly happening now. After I served the five Princes for breakfast, Ysabelle and I went over to the kitchen and this is what I got, everyone was busy. I am currently cutting the ingredients that will be needed for the dish to be cooked by Uncle Luisito, the cook here at the palace. I was opposite Ysabelle who was also busy cutting vegetables. "The dishes to be cooked, are they okay? Are there any ingredients missing? Just tell us when we can find a way. We can't miss this," added Kharim Celia. What's going on? I don't think I was informed. My gaze went to a servan

    "How's your sister, Ysabelle?" I asked her as I accompanied her into the kitchen. We carried her plate, which had been set aside because the King and the Princes had just finished eating.I didn’t ask her yesterday because after Prince Arsh left me in the garden, I went straight to the kitchen and helped with the kitchen work all day. I also informed Kharim Celia about the emergency of Ysabelle and they understood. I don't even know what time she came back."My sister is in good condition, Zariya. I am very grateful to you for letting me go and informing Kharim Celia," she replied with a smile. "Thank you very much again."I stopped walking for a moment and looked at her with a miserly smile on my lips. As much as I can do anything, I will do it especially when someone's life is at stake. I'm glad her sister is okay. Hopefully, her condition will improve and she will never get sick again.I slowly lowered the plates to the dishes. It’s hard to miss because they seem so expensive. If I

He took the lead in the operation earlier but Prince Ravi and I caught up with him immediately. The brothers seemed to be very good at horseback riding. Are their three other siblings just as good?I was gripped tightly around Angelito's neck when Prince Ravi came down causing the horse to move. Prince Nesh has also come down and is currently tying his horse to a tree. The two horses also needed to rest because they also ran long distances.How can I go down now? I guess I'll just jump? I looked at how high I would beat to get down. I feel like I'd rather just sit here on the horse and wait until we get home. I was scared because I might step on and balance my two feet wrong again because I might fall again."Don't beat me and you might get lame. Let me help you get down safely," Prince Ravi said looking at me. He seemed to have read my mind.He first adjusted the f

Soon we will go home and leave this church.It's a pity because what I expect is that he will remember me while we are still here because this church design helped a lot to remember our memories when we were still in the Kingdom of Norland."Oh, why are you upset about that?"I looked up at Kaith who was still busy taking pictures in the mini garden at the back of the church. I was sitting dejectedly behind her.I didn’t answer her and the expression on my face still remained.There seems to be no real hope that he will remember me.I will have a harder time reminding him when we get back to campus.

    “Simala Shrine Church is a religious structure and establishment here at Sibonga Town, Cebu's southernmost province. In the 16th century, European missionaries, who are Spanish, planted the seeds of Catholicism in Cebu Province, and churches were built,” our Philippine History instructor explained. “Simala Shrine Church is now one of the most popular religious destinations in the Philippines. One of the most important aspects of most Filipino Catholics' lives is pilgrimages or visits to religious sites. This feature helps them maintain their confidence and persevere in the face of adversity.”Ma’am just kept talking but my brain didn’t absorb it. My mind was floating and no matter how much I wanted to listen, I couldn’t. I hear what she says about the history of this church but I don't know why I still don't understand anything.

    "Ouch!"A shout came to me when I opened my eyes."Wait! What's that?""Man, slow down to brake!"I heard loud complaints from various people around. Just a few moments later, I also complained because of the sudden bump on the seat in front of me. The right hand that supported my forehead was withdrawn so I was stunned completely.I slowly lifted my head to see what was happening.I still held my forehead bumped as I rolled my eyes all around. My eyes widened when I saw where I was.I'm on the bus!Am I in the modern world now?I saw our Class Mayor Shane in the middle and checked one by one with my classmates to see if anyone had bumped badly. Isagn and Kaleela, on the other hand, remained standing and seemed to be catching gossip about what happened to the bus we were riding.

    "Aren't you coming down yet? Do you just want to let Father know?" It was the voice of a familiar person."There's no need because I'll be next after I put this herb on Zariya." My heart softened when I heard his voice. There's something about me that makes me want to wake up but what I'm doing is too painful."In that case, I'll be the first to go downstairs."I heard the conversation of two familiar people. Although I wanted to know if my suspicion that they were the ones talking was correct, I couldn't do it because I still felt pain in my head. I chose to close my eyes but keep my mind awake and continue to listen secretly. It will only take another pain when I insist more.I can't wait for an answer.

    Where am I?I’m not familiar with where I am. In the few months of staying in the Kingdom of Norland, I have only just been here. To my knowledge, there is no such place inside the palace. I’m not at Norland palace right now so I’m very curious how I got here.I turned around to look all around. I was amazed at what I saw.What a beautiful place!Extensive fields planted with a variety of flowers are here. I was in the middle and surrounded by flowers that were not familiar to me and I wanted to know what kinds of flowers it was because the color was so bright and so fragrant! It is entertaining to watch the whole surroundings, especially the butterflies flying in the air.This is similar to what Prince Arsh and I used to go to when we picked flowers for King Valor’s birthday, the Garden of Fragrance. But the only difference is, the Fragrance Garden is far wider than this place."What am I doing here?" I could no longer stop talking to myself.It really puzzles me how I got here? I lo

He couldn’t help but worry because of what had happened to their parents.

This time, we will not allow ourselves to not be together in this battle. We will be more confident that we will win because we have joined together and will work together to recover. our home.”When our meeting was over we immediately prepared for the second war.

    "How can I face Father with our youngest brother who is no longer alive?" The voice of the first Prince trembled.We are now surrounded by Prince Ravi who is sitting while holding Prince Nesh who has passed away. Of the four, Prince Ravi was the most affected. He blames himself for the death of the youngest Prince. He said he could not save it and let it perish. Earlier the Prince had been crying incessantly and trying to talk to his brother's cold corpse. He could not accept that it had passed away.After what happened to Prince Nesh, we suddenly disappeared from the palace and found ourselves in the basement where the Kingdom of Norland stood. We will all be doomed if we stay in the palace because we have no opponent. It’s as if we’ve even helped the opponent succeed if we insist on fighting back. So it is better to just leave and come back when we are ready to overthrow them.It’s just sad because we didn’t bring the other soldiers. They are constantly fighting and are not afraid t

    I immediately ran to the whereabouts of Prince Arsh when I saw the three Lacandia soldiers who had been behind me earlier. If Prince Arsh hadn't seen it, I would probably have been in their position, I'm the one lying on the floor now. Little did I know that my life had been on the brink of death. I would have seen San Pedro soon.I still can't fight them because there are three of them. What am I up against? Three versus one? Also, I don’t have enough fighting knowledge yet. I definitely lose when it happens. It’s good and ‘the Princes still don’t realize that I’m a Princess but I don’t know how to fight."Don't be afraid, I won't let you get hurt."

In those hugs, I could feel that he would never leave me and that he was always there, ready to protect me at any time.It didn't take long for him to hug me because it also came loose immediately.

I asked.Ever since we escaped the Kingdom of Lacandia my mind has been flying. I couldn’t focus because of what happened. The trauma left me when we were still captives by Queen Emily. I really feel that we are still confined and have no opponent until now.The conscience I feel is really overwhelming. I even hurt Prince Cozen for telling me how I really feel for him. I have no intention of hurting him, I just want to make him aware of his wrongdoings and correct them before it is too late.But I don’t regret directing him. If that act gave me too much conscience, to Prince Cozen it would have been well done.
