chapter 5

I'm sorry, but I haven't been able to gather anything regarding the Hydra Empire. I forgot because I was too busy fleeing.

"Princess, are you going out again? If so, please tell me; I will be your coachman."

Avis has been following me since I arrived home, and Ellie is staring at Avis. "It's okay, Avis; maybe I'll go out again."

I'm heading back to my room because it's about dinner time. I'll eat in the room as usual. I'll be alone again if I eat in the dining hall; therefore, it's better if it's here.

"Where did you come from, Eclipse Caelum?" "I was taken aback since Cavin was standing in front of my room, my own room! He's standing in front of my room.

He can't come here, I mean. That's how much he despises me; he never comes near my room. "You caused trouble... again!"

When I turned to look at Avis, he immediately shook his head, indicating that he was not the one who reported. Most likely the workers who spotted us...

"Father will be very disappointed when he hears this." I shuddered and bowed, realizing it was my brother Leo. What brings them here? They don't generally arrive here by chance.

"What are you even carrying?" Leo's brother nearly shattered the egg I was holding, but it was protected by a cloth. I also told Avis and Ellie not to tell anyone what was there.

"What do you need? Do you still have paperwork? Why are you here?" I grumbled, tightening my grasp on the egg.

"We had a question for you, Eclipse: where are you from?"

"Why do you care? I just went outside for a while to look for dresses to wear. If you excuse me, I'm tired and need rest." I noticed both of their shocked expressions, possibly as a result of my response.

"Yo, you went outside? Alone?!" -Brother Leo.

"You went outside without us! "No, do you even have a bodyguard with you?" exclaimed Brother Cavin.

Why are they unhappy with what I did? I just went out, and they don't care what I did before, so why are they reacting this way?

I merely hammered on my door, and they'll grow accustomed to my being alone in my life.

"Of course, why can't you be like Calliope?" She literally outperforms you." -Brother Leo

Don't make me look like that because I already know Calliope is better and perfect!

"Hey Eclipse, why did you leave without saying goodbye? Father will be furious when he finds out what you're up to." -Brother Cavin

Once more, he will be angry or disappointed. Isn't it always like this? Everything I do irritates or disappoints my father.

"I don't care if he gets angry; I came out because it's boring here in the kingdom; this place is suffocating me, so at the very least give me a little freedom from all your mean words," I remarked coldly.

They didn't respond, so I shut my door entirely. I'll talk to Ellie and Avis tomorrow; I'm leaving them outside. I'm so upset right now.

Why do they object to everything I do? I had already ceased clinging to them and seeking their attention. All of my actions are incorrect. They're seeing things incorrectly.

It's as if my very being is flawed.

I took the cloth off a large egg and noticed it was glowing. I'm curious what kind of animal this is. I'm sleepy and don't want to eat.

Maybe I'll simply go to bed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~'

I awoke to the sound of a smashed vase or something like that. I swiftly stood up and took a look around. Huh?

What, it broke? Why? Was everything fine yesterday? Did I possibly sleep on it and miss it? Why do I have such trouble sleeping?

"rrrrawr."

"Huh?" I turned to gaze around, hearing a dragon-like "AAAAAAAAAH!"

"Princess? Are you okay? Is there a problem there?" "Princess? Are you okay? Is there a problem there?"

"-no, Ellie! I'm fine." I'm unable to respond because of this small dragon. Is this the one from the egg? Can't it be a hybrid since it's a complete dragon?

I mean, I'm not familiar with dragons, and no one knows what kind of hybrids they are. They're rare, one-of-a-kind, and extinct.

What am I going to do? Since the egg is most likely mine, I should probably accept responsibility.

I'm not sure who owns it.

"Wow." I didn't expect them to look this good; the color is stunning because it's a blend of white and black.

He's not that huge; he's about the size of a scarf. This dragon has a snake-like body and appears to be incredibly flexible. "Well, since you're here, what should I call you?"

I let the dragon hug my neck because he appeared at ease with it. "What about... Lunar?" That's a beautiful name, isn't it?”

"Raaaar." I just grinned since the sound was so cute; I didn't anticipate newborn dragons doing this.

Also, I'm not sure if it's a dragon or some other animal I'm unfamiliar with.

But it appeared like a dragon; it didn't have horns, but it had the appearance and characteristics of a dragon. The small one seemed to like me as well. "Then I'll call you Lunar, ok?"

I gradually took the little dragon from my neck and placed it on my bed, covering it with a blanket. He's merely here to see what other people do when they arrive.

KNOCK, KNOCK

"Princess, please excuse our intrusion," Avis and Ellie said as I approached the door. Hmm? What brings Avis here?

"Are you sorry for yesterday? I was... in a bad mood." I'm sorry, Avis just stared at Ellie with concern...

"Don't worry, Princess, it's okay to tell you that." Ellie elbowed Avis to get him to stand up straight. "Avis has something to say to you, Princess Eclipse."

"Proceed," I said right away.

"Uhm, princess, the King has asked you to have breakfast with them." I came to a halt and glanced at Avis slowly.

"What?" Perhaps I misheard it.
