Chapter One
Chapter 1: Who's body is this!?
Ash: *Slowly opens her eyes* w-where am I?...
Doctor: Ahh.. You're finally awake sir ash.
Ash: Ash?.. *Slowly sits up* what the hell are you talking?...
Doctor: It seems that after hitting your head so hard you lost your memory.
Ash: Memory lost? I'm not that old you ba- *Noticed her hands* w-what's this?
Doctor: What do you mean 'what's this?' *confused*
Ash: My hands! Why are they- *Realizes that her voice changed too*
Doctor: What about your hands sir ash? They look completely fine.
Ash: ( how can this be?... I'm in a child's body... But how!? I died didn't I? )
Doctor: Is there something wrong sir ash? you don't look good.
Ash: w-what year is today Doctor?... And where am I?...
Doctor: it's 587 sir and you're at the academy to learn.
Ash: ( 587... That means it's been 7 years since I've died... ) how old am I?...
Doctor: 13 years old sir ash.
Ash: *goes down off the bed and goes infront of the mirror* ! ( this appearance )
Doctor: what's wrong sir? Does your head still hurt?
Ash: ( hah... So that's why... ) no sir, it doesn't hurt anymore. But please excuse me I still have classes to attend *bows and goes*
Doctor: ...( that kid changed after hitting his head hard huh? )
Ash: *Walking* ( this body.. Belongs to the royal family... Ash Callistus the run away princess. Tired of being neglected so she ran away to study in this academy huh? You... Were also the one I saw crying in my dreams isn't that right ash callistus- ) *Bumps into someone* ahh.. Apologies I didn't mean to-
Classmate: *Grabs ash by the collar* hey listen here you punk
* Students gather around them gossiping *
Student: Isn't that ash? God someone help him.
?: *just watching all of them* ...
Classmate: Aren't you that Little bastard who couldn't weld a sword yesterday? *Him and his friends started to laugh hard*
Ash: If you're done talking can you please put me down now?
Classmate: Why don't you go down yourself, I'm sure you couldn't even push me a little bit- *pukes blood* Urk!
Ash: You asked for it so don't put the blame on me... *holds his head and smashed it into the floor* how boring... *lets go of his head and walks off*
?: Hmm... ( ash is acting quite strange today ) *grins* ( interesting~ )
Student: did you hear? Ash smashed his face yesterday.
Student: don't joke around, how can ash smash his head on the floor.
Student: But I'm not lying! Many people also saw it!
Student: Nevermind that ash, I heard the first and second prince will be attending this academy too! Aren't you excited!?
*Meanwhile on the top of the academy*
Ash: ... ( I guess my physical strength didn't change at all... My speedness and my sense are still the same... *sighs* how can a 13 years old kid ran away from home... My contract with my spirits hasn't been terminated what happened to the 7 years?... ) Ignis...
Ignis: You finally called for me zero... | Fire spirit King Ignis |
Ash: it's been seven years Ignis how have you been-
Ignis: *Hugs her and starts to cry* Waaaaah! I missed you zero!
Ash: ...pfft *hugs Ignis back* I missed you too Ignis...
| Zero grew up trusting no one unless her spirits. Zero treats them as a family and zero was satisfied with that kind of relationship with her spirit friends |
Ignis: You're not going to call the others? *sniffs*
Ash: I'll call them later.. But for now I need your help
Ignis: Ofcourse! Anything for zero!
Ash: so? What do you think Ignis?
Ignis: hmm.. Maybe the original soul of this body has already been reincarnated into someone else's body or a newborn baby. But most of the reincarnations that's happening. Most of them lose their memories of their past lives. In your case zero you're lucky because you didn't forget us! *starts crying again* because we'll be sad if zero forgot us! Waaaaah!~
Ash: *flicks her forehead* don't be silly how can I forget my only family? Considering what happened, I hope that child didn't enter my body. Or she won't be able to survive Long. not only that but she may face danger
Ignis: Do not worry zero! We can take care of that problem.
Ash: Then I'm glad to hear *smiles* but... I will be probably busy for Afew days. Since I have a lot of things to catch up due to this body.
Ignis: You can ask Meir to do it for you! Oh... *remembers something*
Ash: What is it Ignis? Why did you suddenly stopped?
Ignis: Your subordinates... They're probably crying for your death.
Ash: They might be playful but they're not stupid. As soon they find out that my spirits with you guys haven't ended , I'm sure they'll come looking for me.
Ignis: wanna bet who among your 4 subordinates will find out first? *laughs*
* At The Royal Palace *
Nicolas: *Walking* How's mother doing? | The crown prince Nicolas , 19 |
Miguel: *walking* I heard she didn't eat anything today | Second Prince, 17 |
Nicolas: And what about father?
Miguel: he's busy with his paper works as usual Ofcourse-
Maid: Y-your highness please calm down...
* Sees a maid trembling in fear so they rushed forward *
Nicolas: What happened here!?
Maid: H-her highness started throwing things at me...
Amelia: BRING ME BACK MY DAUGHTER! *throw things around* aaaah!
Miguel: M-mother please calm down!- *Got slapped* ! M-mother?...
Amelia: | Empress | my daughter is missing and you want me to calm down?
Nicolas: Mother , we're doing everything we could just to find Ashley-
Amelia: My daughter has been missing for a year now.. I can't believe I gave birth to a worthless big brothers, I don't have a son like that *Glares*
Nicolas: Its not like that mother.. Ashley is just different from us-
Amelia: Oh yes, she is indeed different from the three of you.. If something happened to my daughter, then don't bother calling me mother because I didn't raised my sons to be this devil who doesn't care about their Little sister. Maid let's go to my room *walks off to her room*
Miguel: ...why is it always about ash brother?... She's nothing compared to us.
Nicolas: don't talk like Miguel , you know very well that mother only favors her because she's the only girl in the family except for mother Ofcourse.
Michael: Hoyaaa!~ what's the matter with you two?~ | Third prince and Miguel's identical twin | let me guess, is it about our dear sister again?~
Nicolas: *sighs* where have you been all day? Making out with girls?
Michael: Not really~ I was preparing for the trip tomorrow to the academy~
Nicolas: that's right , remember to look for Ashley okay?
* At the Academy *
Teacher: As you can see these are ancient language
Ash: *watching the teacher speak* ( what kind of class is this? )
Student: *raised her hand* excuse me ma'am but what does the ancient language says?
Teacher: it says 'Life is just like a rose with thorns , it might seem beautiful but it can be pretty dangerous.
Ash: I don't mean to disrespect you ma'am, but the sentenced you just said is wrong. *Students started to gossip*
Teacher: W-what do you sir ash? Can you read ancient language?
Ash: Yeah, and the sentence you just said is not a phrase but a spell to cast demons , just what kind of teacher are you?
Teacher: *flinches* d-do you have any proofs that this is a spell to summon demons? Because if not I'll be sending you to the principals office.
Ash: *Stands up and goes infront* ...
*Students started whispering around*
Ash: Excuse me ma'am, but don't blame me if something bad happens.
*Takes her dagger out and cuts her wrist a little. Blood dripping from her wrist* move backwards ma'am you might get hurt *the teacher moves back and ash started to talk in ancient language. As she speaks the floor started to glow and a big circle appeared while demons are trying to get out*
Demon: Human blood! Give me human blood! Ughhhh!
Students: *Screms* Ahhhhhhhhh!!!
?: ( I didn't know ash was so talented pfft... Why did you hide your ability )
Teacher: *Falls in her knees* d-demons!?!? *screams*
Ash: ( how stupid.. ) *stops talking and the circle started to dissapear* see? I don't understand how can you people be so careless about the things you want us to learn , you know that you can be sentenced to death for trying to summon demons in class.
Teacher: I didn't know! I swear! I only saw this phrase to the book I'm reading! I didn't know about this spell to summon demons!
?: *stands up* let her go ash, it's not like she knew right ma'am? *smiles*
Ash: I didn't ask for your opinion, and as far as I'm concerned no one did.
*Afew students started to laugh*
Ash: *sighs* anyways class is done, better to be careful in the future ma'am.
*Ash walks off and the guys followed her*
?: Oi ash! Why are you being so cold to me all of the sudden?
Ash: Who are you to be exact? And stop following me.
Mira: Eh? You don't remember me? I'm your sparring partner and also magic partner you don't remember? My names Mira Lune
Ash: ( lune?... ) are you Duke Oliver's son?
Mira: Yes! You remembered! I'm the 3rd son of Duke Oliver lune! Father was acquaintance with the war hero zero , I've heard a lot about zero. Amd I want to be just like zero when I grow up and get stronger!
Ash: oh is that so? ( I wonder what his reaction would be if he found out that I'm zero? ) I guess you'll have to train harder.
Mira: setting that aside, you didn't tell me you know hot w to read ancient language, why did you hide your abilities? I'm sure your family would be very proud if they knew how good their son is... *smiles*
Ash: ...I don't know about that ( hmm? Did I just spoke?... ) I've been neglected for being a good for a nothing son ( i spoke again? Is this ash's feelings towards her family? )
Mira: Well you still have me *smiles* we're friends aren't we?
Ash: *Smiles a little* yes.. We are friends...
Ash and Mira spent their time studying and working together
Teacher: Listen up! Tomorrow his majesty amd highnesses will be visiting our academy. I only wish for you to behave while they are here and do not make any mess, am I clear!?
Students: Yes sir!
Ash: ( so the royal family will be visiting tomorrow.. Do I have to hide? Or should I not? Because I couldn't care less about them ,but what about you ash? Are you alright hearing your parents and siblings coming tomorrow.. Judging by my actions earlier it seems that some of her soul was left-) *bumps Into someone* sorry I wasn't looking *looks up* ( this person is... Pink hair and green eyes... A person from the Azulejo residents )
Benjamin: ...watch where you're going next time kid *walks off*
Ash: ( he must be Duke James's son... I've seen all the nobles here at the empire and there's no way I wouldn't recognize one. Just like me, plantanium blonde hair and light blue eyes... Only the royal family has these. If I didn't color my hair I would've been exposed ) but that's that , let's just study more.
* At The Training Ground *
Teacher: today, your senior will be teaching you how to hold a sword.
Student: Look ash is here again , I bet he won't be able to pass again.
Student: Shush the teacher might hear you jeez.
Teacher: Please welcome senior Benjamin Azulejo, he will be teaching you the basics of how to hold amd fight with a sword , please walk forward.
Mira: Don't worry ash! I'll help you again!
Ash: Thanks I appreciate it *smiles a little*
Benjamin: Now, everyone get your wooden swords , and hold it like this.
Ash: *Holds the wooden sword in her left hand* ( it's been awhile since I've held a sword... I wonder how much damage I can make with just a swing- )
Benjamin: Mr ash, you're holding your sword wrong.
Ash: not really , I'm both left and right handed.
Benjamin: you're not paying attention to class , we're here to teach you how to weld a sword and not to play.
Ash: Who said I was playing? As you can see... *dashes to his back*
Student:He disappeared!?
Ash: *kicks his right leg making him kneel and points the wooden sword to the back of his neck* if you're not fast enough...You might die In just a glance.
Mira: *amazed* wow! Ash I didn't know you could do that!
Benjamin: ( he's fast for a 13 year old kid...) stop showing off ash *stands up*
Ash: Duke James's son sure takes over him *mumbles*
Benjamin: *Heard what ash said* pfft.. ( that's the first time I've seen someone who sees me just like my father ) alright! Into your places!
* At The Imperial Palace *
Noble: How's the crown prince your majesty? I heard he's very talented with swords , that's he's even recognize by our war hero.
Noble: How about the second prince your majesty? I heard he can summoned two high class spirits.
Noble: The third prince , he's smart and resourceful even though he has a habit of flirting, well he is a fine man after all.
Noble: Which reminds me your majesty... Have you found the first princess?
Liam: | The emperor | No.. Where's still looking for her , I just don't understand why she ran away when she can completely study here at the palace.
Noble: I heard the first has a lot of flaws your majesty, is that true?
Noble: Jeez watch your mouth she's still a princess
Liam: it's true , my daughter has many flaws however she still remains as the princess of this empire , I was truly happy when I heard my wife gave birth to a girl , but I don't know if my daughter resents me we hardly spent time together and if we do have time we will be only studying.
*The nobles looked at each other and understand what's going on*
Noble: How old is the princess this year? Your majesty.
Liam: I don't know.. I don't remember...
Noble: U-uh your majesty.. When was the last time you spend your time with the first princess?
Liam: before she ran away , we talked and studied for an hour and immediately go back to work , why do you ask?
Nobles: Your majesty, you're a bad father towards your daughter!
Amelia: *walking in the garden* ... *sighs* ( my lovely daughter how have you been? Are you eating properly? How's your studies? Mom misses you so much , when will you be going back home? )
Michael: Mother~ your son is here!
Amelia: Michael.. What are you doing here?
Michael: to visit my lovely mother of course *smiles*
Amelia: Look for your sister instead , I'd be more happy.
Michael: Mother, Ashley would be mad right now , you're not eating properly.
Amelia: How cunning of you to use your little sister is name..
Michael: but I'm right , right? *smiles and winks* I've prepared food for us shall we eat? We'll be leaving tomorrow after all , I'll find Ashley for you mother don't worry.. *escorts his mother* ( I'll definitely find her mother... )
Student: Kyaaaaaaaah! Today the royal family will be paying us a visit!
Student: I can't wait to see prince Michael~ and prince Miguel!
Student: don't forget about the crown prince huhu~
Ash: ( I guess today's the day... ) *walking with mira*
Mira: what's wrong ash? Something bothering you?
Ash: Yeah , it's just I heard that the Royal family will be visiting us.
Mira: it's a little sad because the first princess ran away
Ash: You know her?
Mira: well we used to play together when we were young but then she disappeared and it's been a month since she disappeared.
Ash: I see... ( not to mention how did ash get in here when she doesn't know anything? Did someone helped her? Or something els- )
Benjamin: Ash, Mira , good morning to the two of you.
Mira: oh good morning senior Benjamin
Ash: what brings you here senior?
Benjamin: since the Royal family will be visiting, the headmaster asked if we could perform something to entertain them
Ash: what kind of entertainment are they looking for? I'm not a comedy show.
Benjamin: it's not like that, I saw how good you are with swords and how about we duel just to entertain them? Also I heard from your teachers that you're improving with your studies.
Ash: A duel? I don't duel, it's weak people I might end up killing them
Mira: uh ash, I don't think that's a nice thing to say...
Benjamin: ( he's right... He's not joking that he can hurt someone with just a duel... But I want to see ) it's alright , let's duel I also want to see how good are you. *smiles*
Ash: ... *sighs* don't give me a forced smile. Anyway sure call me if they've arrived , ill go changed my clothes , let go Mira. *walks off and Mira follows*
Benjamin: ( I might get hurt... But it's actually worth it )
*With the Royal family riding a big carriage*
Nicolas: We're almost there mother, father.
Miguel: This school isn't that famous though?
Nicolas: Michael picked this place , ask him yourself
Miguel: what kind of school did you even picked brother?
Michael: *smiles* don't worry~ I'm only here to see someone ~ but I've noticed that father and mother are oddly quiet, did something happened?~
Liam: Oh.. Uh well nothing happened it's just that what my co workers told me yesterday , am I that a bad father to our Ashley?... I mean I gave her everything she needed , I just don't understand why would she ran away...
Amelia: what kind of father would ignore her own child for work and for his favorite child? What a foolish thing to talk about...
Michael: Father if you'll ask my opinion about this matter then I have to say yes , why? Because when Ashley asked for attention who would you give it to? Miguel and Nicholas.
You would get mad and compare her to Miguel and Nicholas, oh and you said that she's a worthless child who knows nothing, that you wished she wasn't born As a girl but a boy who can be perfect like Miguel and Nicolas.
You don't remember her birthday and how old she is. And I don't think there has been a time where you've point your attention towards her... *smiles* now tell me have you been a good father?
Amelia/Liam/Miguel/Nicolas: ...
Miguel: Michael... How could you say that to father?
Michael: was I wrong? To ask if he's been a good father to his own child? Perhaps to you and Nicolas yes, but have you ever thought what Ashley feels every time she's being neglected by the three of you. *smiling*
Nicolas: Michael.. That wasn't so nice to hear at all...
Michael: was it nice to neglect someone with the same blood, just because she lacks knowledge and can't use a sword nor magic?
Liam: That's enough the three of you...
Amelia: *looking at the window* ... ( Ashely... )
Ash: Mommy look! I got you a flower-
Nicolas/Miguel/Michael: We got a flower for you mother! *smiling*
Amelia: *smiles* thank you my child.. *sees Ashley* oh dear what do we have here *stands up and walks towards Ashley* what are you hiding little one?
Ash: N-nothing *smiles and hides the rose behind her back*
Amelia: *noticed a rose behind her* I see something red~ why don't you show mommy what you got? *smiles*
Ash: *shows the rose behind her* I didn't got much like brothers did... I only got one... *hands covered with scratches of the thorns*
Amelia: did you picked this up yourself?...
Ash: Yes! The maids said if I picked them up myself you will love it!
Amelia: I see... Nicolas
Amelia carried ashley.
Nicolas: Yes mother?
Amelia: Get the head maid this instance , and Miguel?
Miguel: yes, mother?
Amelia: Get the doctor and say to treat Ashley's wounds.
Michael: What about me mother?
Amelia: watch over Ashley for now I have to talk with the head maid.
" I tried my best to protect my daughter... But I guess that wasn't enough to make her ran away from this horrible place."
" My sweet , loving , caring daughter. Tried her best to get her father's attention even if it's just for Afew minutes, she'd smile widely and tell me.. "
" I guess I was to selfish to noticed that she's been hurt everytime she's being neglected by her father , always getting compared to her brothers , and getting called, useless and worthless. "
" I should've asked her that day.. 'My child.. How are you doing?' But I guess I was too late for that when I saw the letter on her desk saying 'goodbye please don't look for me' she ran away from home... "
" Why didn't I asked her how she was feeling before? I tried to protect her from the people who's trying to hurt her... "
" My dear sweet Ashley , can you forgive mommy for not asking you sooner? Will i see you again? "
