I used to always feel sorry for the moon when I was younger. How is it so alone that I can't help but hope to soar up and join it someday?
But I never imagined that my life would resemble the moon in the sky.'Acia looked up, dejected that she was unable to leave the palace. Her evil uncle transported her to the most remote area of the palace and robbed her of everything.
I always feel sorry for the moon when I was younger. How is it so alone that I can't help but hope to soar up and join it someday?
But I never imagined that my life would resemble the moon in the sky.'Acia looked up, dejected that she was unable to leave the palace.
Acia can vividly recall what happened that day. Even though it appeared to be a dream, it tormented her deeply.
She looked down, her eyes watering.
Flashback.
Mommy I can't sleep, Acia said to her mother, playfully pursing her lips.
The breathtaking image and her similarity to her mother make it evident that she will resemble her mother.
“My little acia, learn to do things yourself”, murmured her mother,caressing her head affectionately.
“But Mommy, why is daddy always so busy”? She inquired,suspiciously.
Acia's mother explained that her father is busy managing a kingdom and cannot always be accessible for her. However, acia expressed sadness at missing her father.
She cuddled her daughter, assuring her that daddy will be returning soon.
Not long after, a young man in his late forties appeared so handsome, even though he is a little older, but a closer look revealed that he was handsome in his youth.
Who missed me? the young man responded, beaming broadly.
“Daddy” Acia ran and hugged her father.
"Daddy, I missed you," she remarked with sadness. He embraced her back to prevent her from tripping. He pecked her twice and carried her to bed. King Derek, famed for his benevolence, is the ruler of the human world. He ensures the well-being of his people and protects them from night creatures and malevolent immortals.
He created amicable connections among the three realms.
He married Princess Arola, who is half human and half immortal. Their love story is one of the best because many people disagree about their relationship, including the council,who refused to marry them because she is immortal.
Despite widespread disagreement and opposition, he persisted and married her.After some years, they eventually consented because Queen Arola is so kind and care a lot for her people.
“What have you brought for me”? Acia asked her father, "Daddy, please tell me," as she looked suspiciously at his hand. King Derek quickly covered it up, not wanting Acia to see it at all.
Acia King Derek grinned and added, "guess what's in my hand."
He said, "Hmmm dad, I'm not good at guessing. Please just tell me."
Not at all, he responded, laughing, "I won't tell you until you guess what is in my hand."
She pointed her hand up, thinking it might be a pen.
No, he smiled and pulled out a pedant.
This pedant is quite lovely. Acia grinned and said.
Yes, it is; it is inherited by the royal family and is passed down through the generations.
She asked, "But dad, why are you giving me this? I'm still a small child."
No, you are no longer a young child—you are eight years old.
Acia grinned as she took in the pendant's butterfly-like design and felt drawn to it for some reason.
“But why are you giving it to me now,dad? It's yours now, so keep that in mind the next time you're alone yourself take it with you, King. Derek stated
Be sure to hold onto it. Although her mother was grinning, there was a secret melancholy behind the surface.
Two guards entered after the door was violently slammed. "I apologize for disturbing your majesty, but it's time," one of the guards remarked to the king
Hold on, your father needs to attend to something he said hurriedly to her.
It's not safe, husband, let me follow you, arola whispered.
It's dangerous, therefore you have to stay with our child, he added.
She answered kindly, "Nope, I can use magic. Please let me go with you."
Hid under the bed and don't come out at all even if you here noises king Derek said sternly.
Although little Acia was unaware of what was going on, she knew something was off.
Acia at all costs, make sure you have this pedant with you. Her fathergave her a somber smile and a forehead kiss as her mother added,"Remember we love you."
Her parents love her because she has been obedient since she was a tiny child, even when other children would cry and act up she still remains obedient.
Holding on to the pedant, Acia dutifully hid beneath the bed.
She remained obediently beneath the bed, frightened, when she heard voices in her room.
Recalling her mother's advice to keep the pedant secure, Acia hugged the pedant close.
