THE PRINCESS

Death was supposed to be quiet. Peaceful. Final.

So when she opened her eyes again, her first thought was panic.

The ceiling above her was unfamiliar—vaulted, ornate, and laced with gold. The air smelled like roses, ink, and something colder. Her fingers clutched velvet sheets she didn’t recognize. Her body felt the same, but everything else felt wrong.

She stumbled to her feet. Across the room, a mirror waited. She stared.

Long black hair. Dark brown eyes. Skin a little tanned with a soft, golden hue. Her own face.

"huh !!?? Did I survived but what type of hospital is this seems like some kind of shooting set and my hair...they have grown too long "

her mind was in turmoil everything felt real if not for her face and body that seemed to be hers she would have thought the reality in front of her is not hers and she has became someone else.

A knock broke the silence a maid entered in the room she was young barely seventeen and said.

" your highness you woke up"

Shelthia was startled

" huh... Who?? ...are you talking to me"

The maid get equally startled

" your highness did I do something wrong "

Shelthia: " your highness???? ....me"

"what the.....wa ..wait....no way..."

After pausing for some minutes she asked the maid.

" who am I"

Maid: " wha..what your highness"

Shelthia: " I asked who am I ??? Tell me my name can't you understand "

she yelled .

Maid: " ah.. You are Shelthia valerian Thalor , the princess of Thalor empire "

After staring at the maid blankly for some time Shelthia pinched her cheeks and slapped her face.

Maid: " your highness what happened ! "

Shelthia was stunned never in her wildest dreams did she thought something like this would happen to her she did died and now has entered in the body of a side character in the Novel.

" To catch the prince's heart" was the novel she once read as the title suggests its a story about a girl named Elira the lost daughter of count Carley who after reuniting with her family enters the capital and starts a blooming romance with the crown prince Aelric valerian Thalor .

Shelthia : "leave, I will call for you when I need something just go for now"

after the maid left the room Shelthia stared at the mirror it was indeed her face her name but the identity...she is now someone else a princess.

After one week....

In the quiet room where Selthia first awoke in this new world, she now sat comfortably, a book resting in her hands. Beside her stood the maid from earlier, watching her with a hesitant gaze, as if there was something she wished to say but couldn’t quite bring herself to voice.

Shelthia: "what is it Anna ?"

Anna: "umm your highness actually... everyone has been talking about you "

Shelthia : " oh.. What are they talking "

Anna: "that.. you have changed and... you have gone..mad"

Shelthia : "so does it bother you?"

Anna: " absolutely no your highness..actually I am really happy to see you like this"

Shelthia : " hnn then let them talk"

"Mad? Please. I just reminded them who they’re serving. I might be a princess, but they’ve been acting like I’m some kind of parasite. Guess it’s time they learned otherwise."
