I'm becoming the Princess?
Chapter 26

It had been 4 days since the incident, and Eric was still unconscious. The research is still being done carefully, with William as its lead investigator. But from that day on, Zeria had always been having endless nightmares. Zeria tells no one about her nightmares, except for Arin.

Zeria was sound asleep, but as usual she had another nightmare. “Hah hah hah” Zeria woke up with her breath gasping for breath.

“Nightmare again?” Arin had expected that Zeria would wake up again tonight because of the nightmares that haunted her.

“Ya” Zeria closes one of her eyes with her palm.

Arin appears and tries to calm Zeria down. Arin sat next to Zeria and held her hand, “This time what else?” Arin's voice felt very warm and soft, unlike her usual self.

“She, poisoned” Zeria replied with her voice trembling in fear. “Actually what is this?” Zeria tightly gripped Arin's hand.

Arin felt that what Zeria really saw was really scary, because this was the first time he saw Zeria so scared. “Still women?” Arin asked gently, for some reason it felt like Zeria was like a glass that at any time could have broken if she did not speak softly.

“Iya” In the eyes of Zeria looks tears that have calmed and almost fell, his face is very pale like true shock.

“Cry, it is not good to hold him” Arin hugs Zeria quietly, and rubs her head. Zeria, who could not help but cry, immediately cried in Arin's arms without making a sound. Zeria was exhausted and eventually fell asleep again.

“Have slept turned out.” Arin looks at Zeria's face and makes sure she's asleep and puts her back to sleep gently so she doesn't wake up. “It's already the 4th day he's like that. The first day he really cried with a loud cry of surprise, then the day after he began to get used to it and did not cry loudly again or scream. I don't know what he dreamed, but he said that what he dreamed of was the death of a teenage girl in a different way and a different person. And today a girl who died poisoned. What exactly does that dream mean?” Arin is really worried about the state of Zeria who always woke up because of his nightmares, but he did not want to tell others because he did not want to add to their worries.

That morning just as usual, Reina brought Zeria breakfast to the room, Lucas who came with some books, and Louise who always came with new things.

“Pagi” Sapa Lucas with her cold face.

“Pagi” replied Zeria who was eating her breakfast, and Reina simply lowered her head a sign that she was saluting Lucas.

“Reina, can you please get me a history book in the library? Volume 3 and 4.” Lucas asks Reina to get the book in his castle library.

“Good, My daughter put her drink here only?” Reina held a glass of Zeria drinking water and placed it on the table.

“Iya” replied Zeria, and Reina left the room to carry out Lucas' orders.

As usual, Lucas pulled up the chair at the study table to get close to the Zeria bed. Usually they only talk about fun things to make Zeria forget the events of the day.

“You can already eat by yourself apparently. How's your hand?” Ask Lucas.

Zeria looked at her right hand and swung it quickly “Very good! View!”. Zeria very confidently said that, his behavior like that makes Lucas believe that he is fine without knowing what has happened recently to Zeria.

Lucas smiled and put his hand on Zeria's head “Good then” Lucas randomized Zeria's hair. He was smiling, but somehow his smile was sad.

“Isn't sister too fast an adult?” Zeria thought, when she was very young, but how could she make such a painful expression.

“Hey, how about you? Girls with one year less age are able to talk smoothly, mature minds, make plans to trap others, and so forth.” Cela Arin with her irritating tone of voice.

“Remember this Arin. One year old is just this body, in my old life, I died at 14 years old and with age in this world, now I'm 15 years old you know?” With his pede Zeria answered Arin's statement mocking him. And because what Zeria said was the truth, Arin could no longer deny it and simply fell silent. “I Win!”

“Userah, but do you not want to tell your sister what happened to you?” Ask Arin.

“No, it will only add to the burden of his thought. Also it's just a dream” Zeria doesn't want to burden Lucas anymore with her problems.

“You know, I'll go for a while” Arin went somewhere and left Zeria.

Zeria continued to eat his food until it was left unnoticed, because leaving food is a disrespectful act. Lucas stared at Zeria who was eating without doing anything. “I feel burdened” Thought Zeria. Just imagine, if we are eating and there are others who pay attention to us without taking their eyes off.

“Ya?” Zeria who had finished her meal was now reading the book as she could.

“I can say something?” Lucas was afraid to say something, his face looked very worried.

Zeria who saw that felt very strange. What was Lucas trying to say until he looked so scared? “Iya, just say?” Zeria is not sure that what she will hear is a good thing .

Lucas still looks hesitant to say it, but after he rounded up his throat he immediately warmed it “I, suspecting Reina as the mastermind behind the explosion that occurred some time ago” Lucas was afraid that Zeria would oppose it, because Zeria already thinks of Reina like her own mother. And sure enough, the reaction from Zeria was exactly the same as what Lucas had expected.

Zeria's facial expression was like saying ‘What are you talking about?’ exactly as Lucas had expected. “What does it mean?” Ask Zeria calmly.

Lucas was already afraid to repeat his words again, for fear that Zeria would be angry “I said, I suspect Reina” Deut.

The expression on Zeria's face changed instantly, Zeria was in disbelief at what she had just heard. “How can sister conclude it?” Zeria's face was so visible that there was a lot she wanted to ask. The thirst for information.

“Because, I'm sure that you chose the right person to be your bodyguard. I believe in your choice, if you are sure, then I will be more sure again.” Speak firmly and with confidence.

Zeria smiles at Lucas who believes in him and is also happy to know that there are still people who believe in him. “Thank you if you believe me, brother not pellu afraid that I will go even to brother. Kalena I hate the beldua, not just Leina. Although I trust Elic, but I also subtly tell about the dilinya as well.” Zeria replies to convince Lucas that, if there's anything he wants to say then just say it, there's nothing to fear.

Lucas's face looked relieved, they continued talking about the investigation of the blast. There is some evidence that the explosion was a magic explosion, according to William's investigation, the explosion was intended to kill Zeria. The explosion was strong but the distance was only 1-7 meters, the sofa occupied by Zeria was 4 meters from the window where the explosion occurred, but the explosion only exploded with a distance of 1 meter, and don't touch Zeria.

“What is a mistake?” Louise, William and Razel are having a discussion about it.

“Not” Razel replied, “It was not a mistake so the explosion only reached a radius of 1 meter, but there was something that made it unable to explode with a further radius"

William who was in charge of investigating him knew very well about it “That's right, on the scene there were not only 1 remaining trace of magic alone. But there are many traces of magic left, but I can feel it.” William who is a swordsman can feel the rest of the traces of magic that are very faint well, because of his twin, Razel was a witch, and the magic she always felt from Razel made her more sensitive to magic compared to others.

Louise thought hard to solve the puzzle, “Investigate further. I give me 3 full days” If something like this is left too long, there is even a possibility that in that time interval there will be events like this again.

“Baik” Reply Razel and William simultaneously.

#Zeria Room

“Reina long ago” Reina who was asked by Lucas to pick up books in his library did not return.

Zeria has also started to feel strange, “What might be-“ Zeria stopped his words, because Reina arrived to come with a book requested by Lucas.

“I'm sorry Prince. I don't know how to arrange books in your Palace library, so I'm having trouble finding them. What's more, the library is huge, so it takes a long time. Forgive me.” Reina lowered her head many times and continued to apologize, her face sweating in fear that Lucas would get angry.

"Here you go, get her book” Lucas asked for the book Reina brought, and Reina quickly gave it away.

Zeria did not suspect Reina's actions at all, and simply acted as usual.

"Zeria!" Arin suddenly did telepathy on Zeria, his voice sounded panicked.

"What's wrong? Arina!" Zeria also got carried away because of Arin.

"That boy, he's not in his room!"

"What?!"
