The Lady of Miracles: Deflected

He didn’t seem to believe what I said so I just ignored him and continued to move. We reached the end of the forest and decided to set up camp for the night. It wasn’t that dark yet but it would be dangerous to keep moving inside a dense forest in the dark so we might as well wait for sunrise.
While I was preparing the tent where I was going to sleep, I suddenly heard weird rustling noises by the forest. I thought it was just a small animal rustling and moving around but I had this strange feeling that somebody was watching me. I looked over at the forest where I heard the rustling sound coming from. I stared at the empty forest hoping I could see something. That’s when a rabbit jumped out from one of the bushes and startled me.

“Are you okay?” I asked him as soon as we were face to face. I touched his face and made sure to check his body for any injuries. I admit I started acting frantically because of what just happened. Even though I knew that Prince Shiro wasn’t hurt anywhere, I still had to make sure.“Don’t worry, I’m okay. What about you? You were near the area where the arrow came from.” He asked me. I nodded and told him that I had heard a sound coming from the forest but ignored it because I thought it was an animal. I should’ve paid more attention and I shouldn’t have let my guard down.“We have to be on guard for the rest of the night just in case they come back. The knights and I will be taking shifts during the night to ensure everyone’s safety.” Prince Shiro told me. I nodded and told him
Reborn Series The Lady of Miracles: Back to Nanto
When we got up the next morning, we headed out immediately since we were at the outskirts, it won't take us long to reach Nanto. I made sure to tell all the knights to be careful since we wouldn't have another incident to happen today. The knights nodded and took my order. Even though I really had no authority over them, I noticed that the knights would listen to what I say. I noticed that when we left Taiyou. During the evening, when I tell the knights to go pick herbs for me, they do it without even thinking about it. I wonder if Prince Shiro has something to do with it. "Let's move." Prince Shiro ordered. I mounted my horse and we went on our way. We'll be going through a dense forest so it's important for us to stay together and not wander from the group. This forest is notorious for letting people get lost because of how dense it is. I started to think back to the time when I passed through her

I watched as the knights enjoyed the food that was prepared for us. Of course I enjoyed the food as well, it's been a few days since I had food that wasn't cooked on a firepit. The innkeepers really did a great job with the food. Prince Shiro was eating quietly beside me and we both just looked at the knights. They were being rowdy and loud but that was understandable and I didn't mind it as much. One of the innkeepers walked past our table and when she turned her head to look at me, she stopped in her tracks. "You look quite familiar, my lady." She said, My eyes widened when I realized I didn't put my hood on. This was the same innkeeper that I talked to when I was staying here a few weeks ago. I quickly turned my head to the side, avoiding her gaze. "Oh is that so? I've heard I have a very familiar face so maybe I just have a lot of lookalikes.

The following morning, we thanked the innkeepers for taking care of us. Prince Shiro paid them a hefty amount, enough for them to close up the place and go on a vacation. If this was back in my world, they would've left to go on a retirement trip. The innkeepers were very thankful to the Prince for the payment. It was more than enough but it was also a warning to the innkeepers. Never to speak to anyone about our stay in the inn. That's what Prince Shiro wanted to happen. We left immediately after we paid them."I hope we're near the Capital." I whined as I stretched my arms and legs during our break. We've been traveling for a few hours now and I know I've seen the scenery before but I still wish we were back already. I want to go home and soak in a warm bath. My lower hip is aching so bad from traveling on a hors

The gates of the Capital opened for me and when I stepped inside, I felt at peace. I knew I was finally home and I'll be able to see the people that I've missed. Without waiting for Prince Shiro, I rode my horse once again and ran as fast as we could to my father's residence. It looked the same as it was when I left. The gates were open and I could see some of my father's servants cleaning. When I got to the gate, I dismounted my horse and ran inside. The servants who noticed me quickly greeted me."The young miss is back!" They said. I greeted them as well but I did it in a hurry since I really wanted to go inside and see my father. I opened the main door and I ran up to my father's office. The doors were closed and I could tell that he was inside. Before entering, I knocked on the door. I heard my father's voice telling me to come in. I bet he didn't know it was me. I opened the door and he was busy reading the reports on his desk."Father!" I called out
Reborn Series The Lady of Miracles: Seeing the Emperor again
I told everyone that I would be heading off to the Imperial Palace to greet the Emperor. They all told me that they will be waiting for me and they’ll prepare a big feast for when I get back. I smiled and thanked them for welcoming me back even though I left so abruptly. I mounted my horse and rode towards the Palace. I saw most of Prince Shiro’s men outside of the Palace gates which meant they must have just arrived. “Young miss.” One of the guards recognized me and he bowed down to me. All of the other guards noticed and they all started greeting me. I greeted them back and I asked where Prince Shiro was. One of the men told me that he was already inside. I thanked them and I excused myself so I could go ahead and enter. As I was walking, I noticed the guard that tried to send out a message the other night. He was just standing there along with the others but his eyes were shifty. It seemed to me that h

“Lady Himawari.” One of the guards at the gate recognized me and greeted me politely. I smiled at him and he let me through. When I reached the doors of the palace, I got off my horse and walked inside. One of the servants took my horse and had it put to the stable while I was inside talking to the Emperor. I walked past a few of the servants who seemed to have recognized me. They greeted me and I greeted them back. When I arrived at the door of the audience chamber, one of the servants stopped me before I could enter. “Lady Himawari has arrived.” He announced before I entered. I thanked him for what he did and I walked in where I saw the Emperor and Prince Shiro talking. They both looked at me and I saw the huge smile on the Emperor’s face. He stood up from his chair and he walked all the way to where I was standing. I bowed my head, paying my respect to him but he tapped my shoulder and shook his

“You have contributed a great amount to the Empire, my child. And it makes me happy to know that you do all of this because of your love for the people. If you were to become the Empress, you would be loved by the people.” He said. I didn’t think the Emperor meant that in a negative light but more like he’s giving me the option. I smiled at his words and he knew what I meant with that smile.“If there is anything you wish for, I will grant it for you.” He told me. Just like before, he easily grants me a wish of my choosing. I wonder if the Emperor is hoping for me to wish for an engagement with Prince Shiro. I certainly think that’s what he wants, however, as much as I feel strongly about the prince, I am more worried about the underlying threat that is yet to be addressed. I cleared my throat to get the Emperor’s attention.

I walked towards the shadow guard who called for me. When I was finally in front of him, he slowly lowered his mask, revealing his face. This was considered taboo for a shadow guard. No one, not even their master should see their faces. That was the only secret they were allowed to keep from their masters. I was surprised when he pulled down his mask."What are you doing?" I asked him frantically. I didn't want him to get into trouble. He shook his head and sat down on the windowsill. He was calm and it didn't seem like he was going to cause trouble. I relaxed my shoulders a bit and I took a step back from him."Why did you do that?" I asked. He was looking down on the floor when I asked that question. He turned his head towards me and shrugged."All this time, I believed that the master that I was serving was a good person. I knew of his story yet I couldn't understand the decision he made." He answered. I wasn't able to recall any memories fr

We arrived at the Imperial Palace and all of the guards weren't present outside. This was really unusual since guards were supposed to be stationed all over the Palace to ensure the safety of his Majesty. Whatever is happening must be big for all of these changes to happen. Prince Shiro held my hand as we ran towards the audience chamber of the Palace. There were guards sprawled all over the place, thankfully there was no blood which means the guards are only unconscious and not dead. When we arrived at the audience chamber, I was shocked to see the chancellor, on his knees in front of the Emperor. Imperial guards and Shadow guards were scattered all over the whole room, all of them were unconscious. "Father!" I instinctively called out.

"The Emperor knew of the Empress' schemes however he was unable to stop her. The fight for the throne was a battle that your mother shouldn't have been a part of yet she was killed because of it. The Chancellor was blinded by his grief and anger over the loss of your mother. Ever since then, in his heart, he blamed the Emperor for the death of his wife." The shadow guard finished his story. I couldn't believe what I heard. How could something like this happen to Himawari's family? Is this the price the chancellor had to pay by being so close to the Imperial Family? "But it wasn't because the Emperor didn't do anything for the Chancellor, he was unable to do anything for fear of the people's reaction towards the Imperial Family. He had to keep everything in secret and so the crimes of the Empress were never investigated and she was never found guilty for all the people she killed and all the crimes she committed.

Reborn Series The Lady of Miracles: History
I didn't know how long I was trapped in my room but it felt like forever. The shadow guards would put water and food down by my door during meal time. I tried talking to them but they were silent as usual. The maids never came around to my room either. Even Mei, who would usually be with me, never came to visit. Did father do something to her? DId she leave or is she just following my father's orders? Either way, I really have to get out of here. All my windows had shadow guards under them. I couldn't even try to escape through them. There was no other way for me to contact the outside world. I was locked up and trapped inside my room. It's been a few days and maybe Prince Shiro will figure something out. Unless my father talked to him about my whereabouts, he would surely try to look for me. "Hima..." I heard father's voice on the other side of the door. I walked closer hoping to hear what he had to say. "I hope you're not putting your fait
Reborn Series The Lady of Miracles: Locked Up
I was in front of the door to my father's office. My heart was pounding in my chest and I was unsure of whether or not I should confront him directly or investigate further before I jump to conclusions. I trust my father but it was just too suspicious of him to be in contact with the First Prince all this time. My gut is telling me that I should get to the bottom of it. After all, I know he wouldn't hurt me. If he really wanted to hurt me, he could've done so long ago. I took a deep breath before I knocked on my father's door. I slid it open when I heard his voice calling for me. He was standing by his desk, a cup of tea in his hand. He was looking out the window when I came in. He turned his head towards me and smiled. When I saw my father like that, I felt guilty for concluding that he was a bad guy when I haven't even heard of his side yet. Maybe it was all just my own misunderstanding. "You called for me, father?" I asked. He nodded and pointed towards the

I had to know more. I had to be sure that my father was innocent and that he wasn't involved in any way. There was an unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach and I didn't like it. I didn't know how to go about with my day knowing that my father could be an accomplice. But I couldn't understand anything. If it was true, why would he do that? Why would he work with the first prince to kill the Emperor? If I was right that the First Prince was the one behind the assassination attempt on me and Prince Shiro, that wouldn't make any sense. He's my father, he wouldn't do anything to hurt me. "Miss? Are you still awake?" Mei knocked on my door. I quickly composed myself as to not seem too suspicious. I told her that I was still awake and she slowly opened the door and peeked her head through. "The master is calling for you." She said. I felt my heart drop to my stomach. This is such a coincidence. My father calling me right when I was being suspicious of him.
