Chapter 3
Three years have passed since she came to this world.
"My Belle! What are you doing here?" Felix, her father, said while smiling.
Clarabelle turned her head towards her father. She was sitting under a tree while having tea. She has grown up for the past years. She was having a hard time getting used to her new body. She struggled a lot.
Urgh. Those days were my dark past. Imagine, I have an adult mind but my body is a baby. Oh my gosh, I still got embarrassed every time I remembered the time that they had to change my diaper. My gosh, I want to crawl to a hole to hide every time that happens.
But the past three years are not bad, she received lots of love from her parents, her nanny and other maid. It was like her past life was not worth it. Clarabelle always compared her past life from her current life. She was so happy that her new life is so much better than her past life.
Felix ran to her. He hugged and kissed her. Her father was so open about her affections to her that the people were weirded out by his actions.
"What is my Clarabelle doing out here?" Feliz asked her.
"Nothing, father. I just want to see different flowers and trees," said Clarabelle.
"Really? Okay. I will stay here a bit with you," Felix said with a slight worry.
With that, he hugged her again for a long time. She felt weird about this action because, even though it was always the same hug, she felt something different was different.
"Father, is something wrong?" she asked.
"Nothing wrong, my Belle," Felix replied.
She broke free from the hug. Clarabelle looked straight into her father's eyes. She saw his worried eyes.
"Father, just tell me what it is," Clarabelle asked.
"Ha, I really can't hide anything from you," Felix said with a defeated voice.
"So, what is it?" she asked again.
Felix contemplated at first. He was thinking about telling her or not. With a deep sigh, he looked at Clarabelle.
"Clarabelle, what do you think about meeting the princess with the son of Marquess Abaddon?" Felix said.
"Princess? Marquess Abaddon's son?" she asked with confusion in her voice.
"Yes, Princess Aurelia and Adrian Abaddon." Felix replied.
Clarabelle was so confused. She knew who they were because that is the male and female lead of this world or rather this game.
Is this the time when Clarabelle meets in the game? Ha. I know that they are friends but I didn't expect that I would see her this soon. And who the hell is Adrian Abaddon? He is not a character known to me.
"Why do I have to meet them? Are they going to be my friends, father?" Clarabelle asked her father.
"Well, you don't have to be friends with them, if you don't want to," her father said.
"But I want to meet them," she replied with eagerness.
She is so curious about them because the childhood time of the main characters was not in the game. So, this is a great opportunity for her to know them better and to know what they were when they were young.
It is not really a bad idea to meet them. In fact, I am excited. This meeting is not in the game. So I am really curious about what Princess Aurelia looks like when she is young. Although I don't know who Adrian Abaddon is, I will still gain a friend if the meeting goes well.
Clarabelle looked up at her father with shining eyes. She looked him straight to the eyes. It was like she was telling him that she wanted to meet them. Felix sighed with defeat in his face.
"Alright, alright. I will definitely let you meet them. Happy?" Felix said in defeat.
"Yes, father. I am super happy." Clarabelle said happily.
She hugged her father with a big smile. Her father patted her head with a smile on his face.
"When can I meet them?" She excitedly asked.
"You can meet them in two weeks' time," her father said.
"Really? I can't wait. But father?" Clarabelle asked again.
"Hmm. What is it?" Felix said with a frown in his head.
"Where will I be meeting them?"
"Of course, in the royal palace. The princess is not allowed to leave the palace." Felix replied nonchalantly.
The palace? Oh, right. I almost forgot that the Emperor is so overprotective to the Princess. He was so overprotective that the other player's thought that they were shipping the Princess and the Emperor. Well, I guess it is understandable enough. The princess is so gorgeous that she had a fair experience in the attempted k********g of many aristocats. But still, I am very excited about this meeting, although it is so early, I am still going to meet the female lead of this game.
Two weeks later. While they were riding the luxurious carriage going to the palace, Clarabelle couldn't contain her excitement and nervousness. Excitement because she is finally going to meet the female lead which is the princess. And nervousness because Adrian Abaddon's identity was a big mystery to her. It was something that was in the game.
"By the father, what is Marquess Abaddon's son like?" Asked Clarabelle.
She was really curious about the identity and appearance of Adrian Abaddon.
"I met him a few years ago. And I can say that the boy is a little bit shy but I can feel that he will be a good friend to you and to the princess." Said Felix.
"Really? Is that true, father?"
"Yes. (Whispers) although I really don't want you to meet him." He replied with a bitter voice.
"What did you say father? I didn't catch that?"
"Oh, it is nothing. I am just talking to myself." Felix said.
Her father looked flustered about her question. But she didn't pay attention to it anymore because she was busy imagining the face of Adrian.
Hmm. Does he look timid? Like the children that look really fragile and someone who needs to be protected. But father said that he felt goodness in him. Maybe, he is not that bad. Maybe, I am just being judgemental because this is the first time that I will be meeting someone who is not in the game.
While she was thinking about Adrian, their carriage was almost at the front of the palace. She saw two people at the stairs leading to the inside of the palace. At last the carriage stopped. Her father went down first. He held out his hand to Clarabelle so that she could get off easily.
The two people walked towards them.
"Good day, Duke Mavolia." Marquess Abaddon said.
"Good day too, Marquess Abaddon." Felix replied.
So this was Marquess Abaddon. He looked really tired and old.
She looked at him for a very long time. Then she noticed the boy standing behind him. The Marquess noticed that she was looking at her son.
"Oh. I almost forgot to introduce my son." Marquess Abaddon said while looking at Clarabelle.
The boy stepped in front of his father.
"This is my son, Adrian Abaddon. I hope that you will be his friend." Said Marquess Abaddon.
"Hello, Adrian. I am Clarabelle Mavolia. Nice to meet you." Clarabelle replied to the introduction of Marquess Abaddon.
She smiled at him. But all of a sudden, something caught her eyes. At the top of the stairs, someone was walking down. And she knew at that moment that the one who was walking down the stairs was none other than the princess.
Princess Aurelia, I finally got to meet you. I am so excited to meet you. I hope that we will be friends like the one in the game.
She smiled in awe while looking at her. And with that the three, Clarabelle, Adrian and Princess Aurelia met.
