CHAPTER 3

"Amishta?"

Prince Jiro entered Princess Amishta's room while holding a sweet dessert.

Princess Amishta has two big brothers. The king has accepted only two consorts after marrying the queen for political issues and decided not to have any intimate contact with them because of the love between him and the queen.

The queen gave birth to two consecutive boys and died after giving birth to Amishta. The king and the two boys always make sure that they take care of Amishta, as they had promised in the queen's grave.

"First brother!" Amishta shouted and hugged her brother. Amishta doesn't have a brother, as she was the only child of her strict parents, so she always hoped to have one, but in her book, she decided to have two so that it would be a beautiful deal. Just imagine having two big brothers who will pamper her, making her jealous of her own character, Amishta.

"I heard what just happened. I was about to hurry up, but Father insisted that I needed to finish my work before I came back. Are you okay?" Jiro was very sincere and trying to comfort her only sister.

"Yup! It is fine. Don't worry, first brother, because I am your cute little sister, so nothing bad will happen to me."

Amishta tries to act cute and pout in front of her big brother. Jiro just smiles and teases her.

"Yeah, sure. You will always be our baby sister that we need to protect."

"Yup. Where is second brother?"

"Are you looking for me, my little sister?"

Amishta was surprised by his second brother and hugged him nonetheless.

Prince Axel is the second prince, but he is also the crown prince. Jiro should be the crown prince, but he didn't like to be one and just gave up the crown to his brother, as he felt like he was more suitable for the crown. Jiro and Axel are certainly handsome princes.

"Amishta, are you okay? I just rushed way back when I heard about what happened. That woman deserves death for more than a hundred..." Amishta was very touched; even if she wrote these details in her book, it was totally a wonderful feeling to experience it firsthand.

"I am fine. No one can bully the one and only princess of our kingdom."

"As long as you're fine," Axel.

"Second brother, are you not tired? Did you just travel for the whole night? How is the situation in the Brown Province?"

"Amishta, you are being biased. You never asked me that when I entered a while ago. I..."

"First brother, are you tired? Did you travel for..."

"Okay, fine, never mind," Jiro conceded.

Axel just laughed, and Jiro eyed him, but he laughed even louder.

Jiro was a general who stayed in the barracks just near the capital while Axel visited a bit far province to investigate the rebels who wanted to reestablish the fallen dynasty.

Amishta looked at her two big brothers with a smile while thinking that the world she made is really good for her to stay in. She needed to change the destiny she made for the character of her two big brothers. She didn't want them to die in war.

After Amishta fell in love with the enemy's first prince, she insisted on marrying him. She suffers from grievances and dies. The king died because of sickness, and the two brothers wage war for their sister. Their kingdom is lost, and they both die in the end.

"I want to go to the Shadow Kingdom as an envoy."

The two brothers stared at Amishta as if they were assessing whether she was just joking.

The real Amishta will never go to another kingdom, as she doesn't want to travel a far distance. In fact, she met the first prince because he was sent as an envoy when her first brother married.

The two men stared at each other while eyeing the changes in their little sister. As soon as they entered the room, they felt that there were already changes in the princess's chamber, and the sudden request made them even more suspicious. They can't help thinking that their little princess matured in one mishap, which made them even more guilty.

"I am serious. I want you to help me convince Father to let me go. Please."

"No way!" The two boys shouted in unison.

"Fine. You don't have a sister anymore. Get out of here," Amishta stated and acted very angry. She knows that this method will always be effective, as she knows what type of people her two big brothers are.

As the two brothers looked at the princess throwing tantrums, it made them feel secure that even with what happened, they still had their little princess, though she matured a bit, but she was always their little princess.

"Amishta, it is dangerous to be outside this palace. What more if you will go to a different kingdom? So please, you can ask anything but not that." Axel reasoned and tried to approach Isabela, but she just walked away.

"You don't want to help me, so go away."

"Okay, fine. I will convince Father..." Jiro.

"No! You won't. It's dangerous." Axel.

"Hmmp!" Amishta crossed her hands in front of them. She stared at them as if she were going to eat them.

"Come on, Axel, just agree. I will be with her, and I will make sure that nothing will happen to her."

Axel looked at Amishta and just sighed.

"Fine," Axel helplessly agrees because he just can't resist his little' sis.

"Yehey! Thank you, my big brothers. You both are the best!" Amishta jumped at them and hugged them both.

The two boys can only shake their heads and smile at Amishta's attitude. They both knew in their hearts that because of their guilt of not protecting the princess, the indulgence they could give just tripled. They only hope for her happiness, as they always see their beloved mother in her. The princess is a replica of their mother.

That moment, the three of them went to the king's place and saw their father. They both pleaded that Amishta join Jiro in the Shadow Kingdom.

The king was against it at first but then agreed after an hour of discussion. They only manage to convince the king when they state that Amishta is already getting older for taking responsibility for the country and that she needs an experience from it.

"You still have 2 weeks to prepare before going. You can also back out any minute you feel like not going."

The king looked at Amishta as if he wanted her to say that she would not be going, but he also wanted his daughter to achieve things in life, and staying in the palace wouldn't do so.

The king remembered that his daughter is already at the age of marriage, and even if he won't arrange a marriage for her, she will marry anyway. He hoped that she would find someone who could love her to the moon and back.

"Father, I will go, no matter what." The king stared at his princess. He was secretly hoping that she would be just beside him, but he was wrong because she was growing up fast. He is actually quite happy because of the Princess's interest in the country and because the Princess shows a resemblance to how the Queen was taking a lot of care for the country.

"Just be safe." The king just can't change his words.

The king was hesitant to send his princess to the Shadow Kingdom, but he knows how stubborn her daughter can be, so he just prepared all the things needed. He made sure that Amishta would have whatever she needed in her journey. He sends his shadow guard to secretly protect Amishta and Jiro.

Amishta curled her lips and thanked her father. She already knew this result, though this never happened in her book, but the love that her family has for her is just the same as the love they have for the country, or even more.

Amishta was not playing when she volunteered herself to become an envoy, but she knew that it would only be the start of the changes she would do in her own novel. She doesn't want to waste time and wants to start her play.

Time easily passed by, and the day of the journey has arrived. The King was very unsure of this move but sent Jiro to be sure. Jiro is the youngest and best general in their kingdom, so the safety of the princess is already secured, but the king insisted in case of emergency.

This is the first time that the princess will be away from the palace, so he is very keen on everything that can happen.

Almost everyone knows how important the princess was for the king, so no one would dare to lay hands on the princess, but at the same time, it is also the same reason why the princess can be in great danger.

"Princess, it is already time to go. The King Father stated that you first need to pay a visit to his study because he needs to give you something," Jane stated while fixing Amishta's clothes.

"Okay. Go first and inform my brother."

Jane nodded and did what was told.

"I was about to go to you. Can it be that you are really similar to him? Well, I don't care. I just want to see you."

Amishta smirked and walked out the door.
