Ch 4. Acceptance Form

I was woken up from my panic by a hug from my mothers. Mom says in a soothing voice while rubbing my head "I'll explain everything Lysthea. There's nothing to worry about." I turned and looked at her face. I asked tearfully "Why did you never tell me!!! I don't want to be held down by rules…" She wipes the tears off of my face with a sad smile. Mother from behind me says "We know… We always wanted you to have a normal life. Well as much as we can let you. That's why we never told you…" I could her the sadness in her voice. She continued "We only managed to get Rumia to agree that we keep you out of official business until you remembered your past life… To be honest we totally forgot we were even the royal family…" Her face was red with embarrassment when I faced her. I asked "Then where did you and mom go to work to all the time…?" She then had a triumphant smile on her face. Her reply was "We cast an illusion spell on anyone who saw us!!! That way we could live in peace together. I don't anyone ruining my time with my lovely daughter!!!" I was both touched and amazed at that revelation.

Rumia then said "sorry to ruin your family moment your majesties, but we only reserved this place for enough time to complete the entrance exam." Mom let go of me and said "we'll talk more later Lysthea lets finish your test." Mother followed suit and said "lead the way Rumia!" Rumia rolled her eyes and led us to another room. This room room had a magic terminal in the center. The terminal had a spot where you can place your I.D. and to that was a little printer. Rumia pointed at it and said "Set your I.D. on the terminal for a moment, and it will print out your acceptance form. I congratulate you for getting into a wonderful academy!"

I decided to ignore Rumia since If I think about what's happening anymore… I might breakdown again. So I walked to the terminal and placed my I.D. on it. It was only there for a second, but the printer started up already. The printer finished printing in about 20 seconds. I thought wow is that a fast printer. After the form was done printing: I picked it up. The form said welcome to The Royal Anise Academy in bold print.

I had heard about this school before. Only the brightest children in smarts or magical power were accepted. I was only average in most subjects so I never thought I would be accepted into that school. Does that mean I have high magical power then? That's the only thing I can think of. Seeing my confusion Rumia answered energetically. Honestly she usually seems so calm so her energy kind of surprised me. She said "Of course your a royal of our kingdom!!! Our royals have higher magical power than anyone else in the world! Since you have high magical power you need to be nurtured to be a witch who can lead the kingdom into prosperity!" I was stunned by her speech. I was still taking in everything she said, but her tone switched suddenly. She said in a disappointed voice "Sadly our queens are too spirited and free. They do whatever they want… At least now that you'll be going to the same academy with my daughter she can whip you into shape!!!" I was angry at her being mean to my moms. I yelled back at her "My moms are the best witches in the world, and the ladies I aspire to be like!!!" She looked shock to hear me talk back, but I continued. "I don't want to do any strict stuff. I just want to learn magic to become a great witch like my moms!"

Then I felt a familiar hand on my head. It was mother who had a big smile on her face. She then said to Rumia "You said as long as we completed our duties we are free to do as we like. Correct? That was the only reason we let you and only you know where we were." Her tone was a commanding voice that almost didn't sound like mother at all. I was surprised at mother, but Rumia was shaking. Rumia replied with "Yes your majesty you, queen Lucia, and princess Lysthea are free to do what you want." Rumia suddenly stopped shaking and sighed with relief.

Rumia then said "I'm sorry I was going beyond my position your majesty." She didn't look sincere at all though. Then mom said to her "if you try to indoctrinate our daughter with your silly rules and ideas… you'll never see the light of day." I had never seen mom's eyes so scary. Even I shivered at this. I can't imagine what it felt like for Rumia. Although sorry for her I was glad she won't be trying to mold me like she was saying before. I also was not afraid of mom for doing this either for some reason. I guess the connection of relatives allows you to understand their soul more completely. To me mom still was my silly adorable mom.

They continued going back and forth, but not wanting to listen to it. I decided to read my Acceptance form. Under the bold name of the academy there was a ranking. I checked the ranking and it said. Congratulations Lysthea you are ranked #1 in the entire school!. I was surprised that I was rank one… well that's probably due to my magic power as the princess. That probably means people will have high expectations of me. I quivered at the thought. I planned to be a woman who lives freely as she likes. To be happy with my life like my moms. If the teachers and maybe even students are anything like Rumia. They would probably try to make me a puppet of their ideals.

After seeing that I vowed to not let anyone else control my life. I decided I will be a lady witch. To me a lady witch is a woman who can do anything she wants with magic. With this power she is free to do anything she wants. She is respected and looked up to. I realized my mothers were powerful enough to control many people and even at least partialy break away from the confines of being royalty. I steeled myself to follow my ideals and become my perfect woman.

After steeling myself I kept reading. Next up was which class I is in. The class is Year 1 Class 2. So now I know my class now I thought. Well that doesn't really mean anything to me. I was relieved to see there was no dress code at the school. I hated the idea of being limited on what I can wear. Next up was the start date of class. The date was in 3 months time. Looks like I awakened pretty far from the start date huh. I was a bit sad, but that meant nothing to me. This was because I was now thinking of asking my moms to give me extra magic lessons. I thought there might be too few magic lessons at the academy, since it had royal in the name. Well if I was lucky it wouldn't be very strict, but I don't know.

With this in mind I called out to mom and mother. I said "Let's go and leave the rule lady behind." In a cheerful voice. Both of my moms replied with "of course!" They grabbed my hand and booked it out of the building dragging me along. They then summoned their brooms and put me on moms. Then rocketed away. It looked like Rumia hadn't even exited the building as we escaped from view. Now I thought I could relax for a bit, but that idea only lived until we got home. When we got home my moms forced me into a photoshoot. I usually love getting photographed, but I was to tired today. After about an hour of photos I was released. I spent the rest of the day talking with my moms about them keeping their identity a secret, and getting magic lessons so I can be free.
