Chapter 1- Where am i?
Once upon a time, in a kingdom far away and many years ago, I was working alone in my tower. But one night, when I went to sleep, I awoke to a strange and shocking new reality. I had somehow woken up 100 years in the future—in the body of a 10-year-old girl named Princess Estella. At first, I didn't understand what was happening. But when I looked into a mirror, I saw a small, adorable child staring back at me. Despite the cute face, I was still very much a 35-year-old woman on the inside.
Now, three weeks have passed, and I'm still living as Estella.
One day, I overheard the palace maids gossiping about the royal family. That's when I discovered I now had three brothers and a younger sister. My father—Estella's father—is none other than the King of a land called Solinar.
Solinar is divided into five regions, each ruled by a noble family with unique powers:
The North, ruled by Duke Liongard, possesses the Blood of the Lion. This power activates in moments of intense emotion, granting members of the Liongard family immense strength.
The East, ruled by Duke Ironwolf, holds the power known as Howlshift, which allows them to transform into wolves.
The South is governed by Duchess Foxglove, whose family is rich in mana—a rare energy that, when cultivated, becomes powerful magic. Most members of House Foxglove specialize in ice and water-based magic and are referred to as mages.
The West is home to Duke Bearcliff, a master of the sword. As a swordsmaster, the highest title a swordsman can attain, he channels a powerful aura through his blade—strong enough to cut through diamond with a single strike.
And at the heart of Solinar lies the Central Region, ruled by my father, King Corwin Hawkwind. Our family possesses the legendary power of Wings of Judgment, which calls upon a spirit hawk capable of flight and delivering unerring divine justice to our enemies.
Life in the palace is busy, and I've tried to blend in as best I can. The servants think I'm just quiet and a bit shy, which suits me well enough. I spend my time exploring the gardens, listening carefully during meals, and learning how Estella used to behave. The food is different from what I'm used to, but surprisingly delicious. I've even started taking lessons in etiquette, dance, and history with Estella's tutor, and I'm doing my best to keep up. Everyone seems kind, if a bit distant—though I suppose that's expected for royalty.
What unsettles me most, however, is that no one from my new family has come to visit me since the accident—the one that put Princess Estella into a three-day coma. It was during that time that I was transported into her body… and now, I must uncover why.
