The Trapped Princess
Telepathically

"Your Majesty."

Ara felt a very familiar voice in her ears, she opened her eyes slowly and found the face she missed.

"Grandma!"

Ara rose from her grandmother's lap and hugged her tightly, "grandmother!"

Ara cried loudly, she no longer held back tears. He just kept crying in Isabel's arms. "Grandmother, what should I do without you?"

"Your Majesty" said Isabel, releasing her embrace. Isabella tidied up her hair and wiped away Ara's tears. They sat side by side and held hands.

"Your decision is right to return to the kingdom, the place where His Majesty should be," Isabel lightly patted Ara's hand.

"I'm just going to return the Queen's energy to Prince Elrick, I really don't want to be a royal family bully," Ara still sobbed.

Isabel gently rubbed Ara's long hair, "Your Majesty isn't a bully." Isabel touched Ara's shoulder and instantly the red energy flashed brightly, "just like His Highness Prince Elrick, His Majesty is also an important part of the royal family."

Ara shook her head, "no grandma." Ara wiped her tears violently. "I'm not a part of them, my arrival will only bring destruction, I came only to return what I was supposed to leave to Elrick. The royal family has been kind enough to let me live to this size, I live a happy life with my grandmother, so there will be no regrets if I have to die even if "

"The affection I give you is not enough Your Majesty, you deserve the abundant affection from them. I know the royal family well, so I am sure they will accept and love His Majesty with all their heart" Isabel said with a confident look.

"I know it's just my subconscious, but I really don't want Isabel. I want Princess Eleanor to remain a secret until I die, I just want their happiness, nothing more."

Isabel shed tears, her form faded and disappeared. Ara sat pensively, until a glimmer of light shone on her body while absorbing her soul without any excuse.

Ara blinked her eyes repeatedly, she appeared to be lying on the bed of a room very foreign to her. He tried to sit down and lean back while gathering his focus. Ara looked around and found no one, suddenly her heart ached a little, she remembered how Isabel never left her side when she was sick, reality hit her hard.

"Krieeet..."

Ara turned towards the door that was now open.

"You're awake apparently!" Alardo entered while carrying a tray filled with some food in his hand. "His Highness the Crown Prince ordered me to take care of you while you were sick" Alardo said as he sat beside Ara's bed, placing a tray on the bedside nightstand.

"How are you doing? Does anything hurt?"

Ara shook her head weakly, answering Alardo's question.

Ara fell silent, her mind filled with guilt. The attention given by Elrick through Alardo touched his heart again, as if saying that what he did was indeed the best for him.

"Thank God, drink this first."

Alardo held out a glass of water towards Ara, and Ara reached out her right hand to receive the glass, but unexpectedly the glass she was supposed to hold had now fallen to shatter on the floor.

"Yourjee!"

Ara was stunned, she stared at her trembling and stiff fingers. Ara immediately withdrew her hand and covered her body with a blanket. His mind was raging, he tried to open his mouth to talk to Alardo but his tongue felt like a joke.

Ara felt frustrated, the sudden change that happened to her made her want to scream and cry.

"ARA!" Arion arrived together with Gigas behind him, their gazes fixed towards Ara and the broken glass on the floor scattered. "What's going on?"

"Let's go General, but I think something's wrong with him, since I came in, he hasn't said a word to me."

Alardo inching to give his seat to the General. As Arion sat beside Ara, he looked at Ara and started using his telepathy.

"What happened to you, Your Majesty? Let's say that I can help" said Arion, whom Gigas and Alardo would never hear.

"Teacher, my body is stiff, I can't even hold a glass properly, I can't even say the words I want."

Ara shed tears without a sound, she could only sob and talk to Arion through telepathy.

"Quick check for protective barrier," Arion ordered.

"Good General," Gigas swiftly made a protective barrier as his master had commanded.

"Can I help you?" al asked Arion with a serious face.

"If you want to stay in this room then please calm down and retreat as far as possible" said Arion firmly without wanting to be denied.

Al nodded in understanding, he retreated towards where Gigas was.

"Your Majesty please answer the servant's question so that the servant can help His Majesty." Arion again used his telepathy, "does the energy that the Crown Prince currently has anything to do with you?"

"I haven't finished transferring the energy of the queen that was inside me when His Majesty the King and the Queen entered the Crown Prince's Majesty's room, then I re-sealed the Queen's energy in haste" Ara replied.

Arion let out a long sigh, "Your Majesty is really careless! Did you know that you can lose your life while doing it?"

Ara nodded, "i know but it seems that I am not ready to die because I was so frightened and desperate when I lost some of my abilities all of a sudden."

"Me and Gigas brought His Majesty back with great hope that His Majesty could live happily and comfortably where he should be. Not even asking His Majesty to give up his life!"

Ara stiffened, the voice of Arion in her mind sounded full of anger. "I know, but from the first time I met His Highness the Crown Prince, I actually saw a great leader figure within him."

Ara ventured to look at General Arion's pair of eyes that now seemed dark. "General, I should have died shortly after I was born, but with the kindness of the royal family and with the permission of the Almighty, I can enjoy my happy life until this very moment. Isabel's grandmother gave everything to me, so I didn't know what else to ask, so when I saw the royal family that looked happy and harmonious, she said, I made the decision right then and there that I would keep Princess Eleanor a secret until I died, I would carry that name buried with me when I died."

"But Your Majesty," Arion seemed to disagree.

"Teacher please help me, at least so that I can be by His Highness the Crown Prince's side until I can transfer all of the Queen's energy that is within me" Ara pleaded in her telepathy.

"No," Arion stared intently at Ara's eyes, revealing an outpouring of emotion within him.
