The Conqueror's Journey
chapter 6 strange events

After I finished feeding the pigeons, I decided to go to the room.

my room is in the palace, but in the place where the servants are usually placed. My room is very different from theirs, I have a private room for me, because my father is a general, and also I am a princess so naturally I have a private room. My room was not too big, but it was enough for this little me. My room has one bed, one window, a wardrobe, bookshelves and study tables and one decorative table.

I rushed straight to the bookshelf. My book is not too much, because my father forbade me to read all the books he said ‘you are still a child, so read the books of the story’ he said gently when I want to bring the book from the library.

I was looking for a book I wanted to read. I looked through all the books on the bookshelf for a while, until I found a book that had a cover: the book that opens in its pages is a three-color flower stalk that makes me take it. The book has a title, “adventure botanist.” That's just the sentence, there is no author's name and others, which makes me curious about the contents. Without much thought I rushed towards the table.

When I was sitting down, I didn't read it right away, I had a tradition that every day I lived, a personal tradition that was to open a window before reading a book. Although simple, but it is very meaningful. That way I can enjoy the sights and stories in the book. I seemed to be in two different worlds while performing this tradition!

I opened the window with my two small hands. Although small, I was very powerful when opening it. Maybe because I always do?

As I opened the window, slowly the white light crept from the window gap getting brighter and clearer, I couldn't help but say, “ is really beautiful.”

when I looked at the blue sky there was nothing in the way, and the view of two beautiful hills, as if a picture I had ever drawn. The mountains were like large breasts, but the difference was green which radiated coolness. While the breastfed it radiates my love mother to her child.

I immediately rushed to read the book while in the light of the orange Sun.

...*****...

I woke up in the afternoon, the sound of birds chirping greeted me as I came to my senses. My eyes actually still want to sleep, but I quickly opened the window and I don't know why it was closed “ why are you here?” I asked when I saw the dove I fed this morning. I knew her very well, she had soft, white fur like cotton, her eyes were slightly glowing as she looked at me,

He didn't talk anything, just stayed on the tree branch near the window, I know maybe he wants to eat. “what do you want to eat?” ask me enthusiastically.

The dove shook its head to my surprise, does it understand human language?, “do you understand?” many wonder. Just this time I saw a bird that could understand human language.

The bird nodded slowly which astonished me and surely it made me curious. “ then may I make friends with you?” I gently looked at him.

I want to make friends and have friends who can always be on my side, palace people don't want to be friends with me, maybe for that reason they don't want to, but this time I'm going to ask this pigeon, though it's a little weird.

The pigeon turned the impression here and nodded.

“please I name you Wiwit how?”

The pigeon did not nod, but it quickly flew up to me. With me sticking out his hand as his foothold and surely he would accept it.

When he had already established his footing he nodded twice. “do you accept it?” Manya make sure. He nodded again.

“Mr Princess.” Said someone who was already at the door, I know very well the owner of the voice, yes it was auntie yu..

“Wait a minute aunty yu.” I hurried to open the door with Wiwit.

Aunt Yu seemed to have brought me clothes with two servants behind her. Why am I a General's daughter treated like a princess? Ah I forgot again, that I am a princess of this kingdom, a princess who is always considered an unlucky child, but why on an afternoon like this?

“lord princess.” She smiled, I know once when auntie Yu spoke like that.

“Please aunty can enter first.”

Aunt Yu just smiled which made me curious.

I looked at her wonderfully guessing what was wrong with me, usually auntie yu spoke like that something must be wrong.

“Mr princess why you brought a bird to your room.”

Jeez I forgot Wiwit, “ aunty, this is my friend Wiwit she visited me this morning, I did not bring her in.” Answer me quickly.

“ well, do not repeat again yes.” He said lightly with a smile on his face.

I rushed to the window and let Wiwit fly beautifully.

“ Don't forget to visit again ya!” I looked at Wiwit from a distance.

Then I came back

I looked at aunt Yu and smiled. “ well.”

“ ibi why this afternoon I have to change clothes?” ask me wonder, usually I always bring clothes when in the morning or when there is an event, maybe there is a sudden event?

“ayo princess.” He said while taking me to the dresser.

“you should dress neatly today.” The words take the hair comb gently.

I was now only with auntie Yu in the room, the two, the two maids who had come out who had gone out of nowhere.

“Hair as white as snow.” Gum, ike,

My hair is snow white, strange hair. Usually black hair, but my hair is white, white is not in the paint yes, it is white from birth, which makes me wonder if the white father's hair is in the paint or just a coincidence. may I be his real son?

If I was her biological child, it would be impossible for the palace people to call me that, especially the second concubine who always called me that, like having a grudge.

I'm getting confused.

“ is done princess.” Her speech.

I looked at the glass, the beautiful hair decorated with ribbons and hairpins of three-colored lilies. That flower is the flower to my tribe. Although the flower was very easy to find and the price was very cheap, to me it had a power that always made me comfortable from the insults of people. The color represents the colour of life.

“Now you change.” Then she brought the white dress she was wearing.

Why change after hair?

“good aunty.” I changed my clothes.”

...*****...

“nahh complete already, you are beautiful like a snow princess.” The compliment.

“ nahh now you shower.” He said cheerfully.

Now the situation is more strange, like upside down, is this a dream?

“ aunty why should I shower after dressing up?”

“oh, i– yes yes, why take a shower?” the mummy asked back.

“Alright, then don't.” Say

What's wrong with aunt? Why is aunt different now. Although it is old, but this is too late, as far as I know my aunt has always served me well, does aunt have problems with her family?

“Aunt what's up now?” I looked up to see aunt.

Aunty's eyes dimmed and did not give off the slightest light, there must be a problem!

“aibi, aunty.” I said, clapping his hands on my shoulder.

Aunt Yu surprised. “ what's the princess?” asked gently as usual, but I knew her strange attitude.

“what's now aunty?” soft ask.

“ aunt also do not know, the Emperor told aunt to call the princess and also ordered for the princess to get ready.” Maybe he's lying.

“I understand aunty.” My words calmed him. Does the problem have anything to do with my real father? I don't know for sure I'll get the answer now.

“ alright princess now let's go.”

I nodded, then got out of the chair, I walked with the aunt behind me. As I arrived outside the palace scene that as usual greeted me cheerfully, the soldiers gallantly stood in front of the gate.

A beautiful garden that is always grown in green grass complete with pigeons that always discuss with joy, the afternoon sun that illuminates with grace. I walked in the long hallway of the palace towards the middle of the palace which was the main road to where my real father had always cared nothing for me.

Actually when I heard it a little surprised, but I hid, and tried to be calm.
