I ran back to my room to think for awhile.

....

I was sitting down and staring at my table looking at all the things until an idea popped in my head. I should try to change time. I got up from my chair, locked my room door, and slowly walked to the near center of my room to try it.

I crouched down, placing my hands on the floor and close my eyes.

suddenly I feel wind from the floor making my hair float.

I slowly open my eyes to see the magic circle

"Cool," I mumbled

I walk to the center of the circle and took out my pocket knife.

I slit my thumb causing blood to splatter on the floor. The magic circle suddenly goes bright, knocking me out.

✰°࿐

I open my eyes and look around "Did it work?" I blurt

I scratch the back of my head and stand up, looking at the floor to see the blood and magic circle slowly disappear

BANG BANG BANG!

I open the door and see melissa and some maids run to me "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. What day is it?" I asked

"Well, it's been just a few days since I last saw you. I'm sorry, princess, I'm afraid I haven't checked today. Here is your food."

"Oh alright, thanks." I grabbed the food cart and closed the door "Only a few days?" I mumbled

"I'll try again next time whatever...now I dont know whats gonna happen" I sighed.

After I had finished eating, I set out for the town.

I walk around with a small pouch of food and a hood over my head to avoid the public's attention and their interests. I continued walking until I heard a beaming loud voice.

I looked to the direction of where the noises were coming from to see kosair. I slowly walk to the shop kosair was waiting at.

"do you love your sister that much" marquess falhan murmured standing aside kosair with boxes of gifts in hand.

"shes a sweet girl and ooh-" he said running off to a different shop that piqued his interests.

I follow kosair to the bread store cutting the extremely long line

"so the emperor's mistress is really-"
"yeah my sister's friend's cousin works at the palace. and she's sure the mistress is pregnant!" the commoners whispered, gossiping with eachother.

Once I I finally reached kosair, I waved "Hi, you're navier's bro-"

"you are..." He lifts my hood slightly "Ah, y/n! It's been awhile!" He pats my shoulder, grabbing boxes from marquis falhan. "These are for you," he smiles.

I thank him for the plenty gifts and continued a little chat with him in line before he asked. "Can you tell me more about this mistress alot of commoners seem interested in, besides you and your beauty of course." He winks at his last few words.

"The mistress, rashta, is just viscount lotteshu's runaway slave. Sovieshu found her during his little hunting trip and brought her from the castle to heal her wounds." I whispered.

"Ah, I hope she hasn't done things to harm you." he whispered to himself and looked away, silently raging. "how rude of me, let me carry those for you!" He took the boxes from my hand.

✰°࿐

I continued talking to kosair on the way back to the palace making a few stops at some stores.

"NAVIER!!" kosair beamed while running to hug her. I was walking to the couch and waving at navier, while maids helped take off my coat and dirtied gloves, as well as taking my gifts kosair placed on the table to my room.

"kosair!?" she said, shocked.

"Navier? your shoulders are damp."

"What are you talking about?"

"Is it because of your husband and that woman,"

"What do you mean?"

"You dont look very happy right now. WHERE IS SHE!" he screamed looking around.

"Shes probably with sovieshu," I replied.

"why do you even want to know!?" navier said panicking

"I'll kill them both!" he said

"You can't do that,"

"Well then i'll make sure that baby is never born." kosair fumed.

"your punishment will be more severe!...countess eliza can you help me open the presents."

"Right, I'll be going as well." I excused myself, before leaving the room.

✰°࿐

I was lying down on my bed doing nothing until I randomly decided to try to move to the future again.

I placed my hand on the floor and closed my eyes.

Once I felt the wind I opened my eyes and saw the magic circle again.

I quickly went to the center and slit my thumb.

the circle grew brighter than the last and it knocked me out.

✰°࿐

"OH MY SHES FINALLY AWAKE!" someone standing beside my bed, beamed.

"what happened?" I asked

"One of the maids came to your room to help you unpack the presents and found you unconscious. The doctor said you'd be fine and left but it's been quite alot of days."

"What day is it?" I asked rubbing my eyes.

"You're just in time for the party it's starting soon,"

"What party?"

"They're celebrating rashta's baby"

"Oh! Right,"

I shook my head, trying to make the dizziness disappear.

soon enough it went away and I could think properly.

"We'll leave and tell everyone you've awoken excuse us, princess." one of the maids said bowing.

"Oh and I'll prepare a dress for you, princess" Melissa said bowing and following the others out of the room

✰°࿐

knock knock

"Come in" I said still in bed,

melissa came in smiling

"I got this dress for you i think you'll like it, here I got you a sword to match the dress"

I thank her, and walk to the bathroom to change.

I got out of the bathroom to see melissa still waiting there,

"Here, let me do your hair, c'mon quick we dont wanna be late." she squealed

✰°࿐

I was walking down the halls of the palace with melissa walking behind me a gift for rashta in hand.

I open the door to see rashta asking navier something,

"I would love it if you gave my child your blessings,"

The door hit the wall rather loudly grabbing everyone's attention

"Oops," I blurt rolling my eyes and walking over to them.

I could hear everyone whispering
"The princess looks beautiful"
"I'd die for a dress like that"
"I'll make sure to wear a dress like that to the next party!"

No one was talking about me doing magic since navier and sovieshu weren't into gossiping that much. only a few maids and lady-in-waitings would know since eliza and laura probably talked about it,

navier looked back at rashta "I'll have to refuse that request. do you think the child will be happy with an empty blessing?" navier turned around walking away.

"EMPRESS, must you embarras rashta like that infront of everyone?!" sovieshu said running to navier and grabbing her arm

"Etiquette?!" I whisper, spanking sovieshu's hand with my fan.

He sighed walking back to rashta to console her.

I waited till after navier gave her blessings to the baby.

"You can go, i'll give this myself, thanks." I said to melissa

"If you say so, princess, be careful." she walked away smiling.

I walked up the stairs to rashta

"Hey" I said snapping my fingers infront of her face

"Oh hello sorry I was...just thinking" she said, looking away and pulling her hair behind her ear.

"Up here?"

she slowly looked up while smiling "y-you!" she mumbled her eyes widening "w-what do you want!"

"I'm only here to give you a gift"

she looked at me suspiciously

"what, are you just gonna keep staring or are you gonna take it."

she takes the black jewelry box and opens it. "why do you look so cautious...scared?" I chuckled

"I- NO Im not scared of you"

"Sure."

she opens the box to see a necklace

"WOAH thanks! I love it!"

"I figured you would," I turned around to leave. Sovieshu picked the necklace for me years ago, i've never worn it. I wouldn't be caught dead wearing that. He truly does have no taste in jewelry at all.

"Wait," she said, grabbing my dress somehow making me fall down the stairs instead.

thud

"oh fuck-" I mumbled

everyone looked at rashta who's hand was frozen sticking out making it look as if she hand pushed me on purpose.

"Oh my! did you see that!!"
"She just pushed the princess!"

I deeply exhaled trying not to kill her now. I stayed down pretending to be badly hurt

melissa and some other noble women and men came running to me "Are you ok?" some of them said worrying.

"WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!" Melissa screamed looking at rashta

some other people joined her screaming "YOU'RE CRAZY WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!"

"I-Im sorry I-" rashta blurted. "i- i didn't do it!" rashta started crying

I could hear everyone whispering again.
"Yeah, have you heard the mistress stabbed the princess too?"
"It was a little rage fit."
"Pity, the emperor really has poor decision making."

I stood up and realized I sprained my ankle, I started walking out of the of the room limping abit.

✰°࿐

Once I was at the end of the hallway to my room melissa caught up to me.

"PRINCESS, I got the bandages let me help you to your room"

"Thanks,"

I opened the door and went inside.

"Please sit down, let me bandage your leg" melissa said.

I nod and sat down,

In a few seconds of bandaging my ankle, she nods "Goodnight, princess." Before leaving my room.
I sighed and removed the bandage because it had already healed.
Standing up, I went to the restroom to change into my nightgown.

Once I got out of the restroom I laid in bed and went to sleep.
