"Athera, please get me my car keys in the room."

Athera. He had just finished eating with a member of the royal family and his father was going somewhere with his mother. It has become a habit of his father if the car keys are left behind every time he wants to travel.

Athera's father smiled faintly at the back of his son who was moving away and threw attention at his wife.

"Athera is an adult. We need to find the best man for her."

Mother Athera nodded with a knotty smile.  "Yes, I'm sure there's a lot of men waiting in line to ask for our daughter."

Fortunately, Athera did not hear the conversation between her father and mother. Athera hated it the most if both parents were always talking about marriage and of course he would be betrothed, therefore, he hated it. He must enjoy his youth freely before being completely restrained by the status of the household later.

Athera entered her father's room and walked closer to the drawer, but instead of opening the drawer, the girl touched a small wooden handle with ancient carvings that looked so attractive, the handle was stuck in the corner of the room in his father's room,

GRETT..

Athera clenched her lips tightly as the large cupboard containing her father's books shifted to reveal another dark room inside. Athera stepped silently into the place until the big cupboard shifted again and closed then it was also a big light illuminated everything in the room behind the big closet now athera is.

"Just a mirror?" Athera looked at the bewildered large mirror with a golden wooden frame surrounding the edge of the mirror.

Athera stepped slowly to look at the large mirror carefully.

"Exchange with me."

Athera widened her eyes as a woman stood in the mirror wearing old clothes with a look of suffering. The woman reached out to him and the hand went through the mirror.

"No! I must be dreaming!" peeker Ahera who intends to stay away because he is surprised by what is in front of him.

But, that hand first pulled him into the mirror very strongly. The huge mirror seemed to swallow his body. Athera shouted loudly with watery eyes as the figure of the woman had been outside the mirror with an extremely guilty expression.

"I'm sorry, but you're the chosen girl whom the gods appointed to exchange fate with me" she said, noting that the clothes Athera had previously worn had been perfectly attached to her body, their clothes swapped.

...****...

Athera Krystalian was an empress of a King who had been neglected and even tortured. Athera was the crown princess of the Gazianor kingdom. A kingdom that has long been a great enemy of the kingdom of virtucal esse. Then the two kingdoms waged a great war that is recorded in history as the greatest war today. The young king of the virtucal Esse who successfully conquered Gazianor then married the Krystalian Athera to make her empress. Appointing an enemy as Empress was the greatest insult the virtucal king of esse had ever done but in fact the virtucal king esse deliberately married the Krystalian Athera to insult the surviving Gazianors. Athera's brother named Arthur must be a great commander who is always advancing on the battlefield. This was done solely so that Athera and the Gazianor royal family suffered. The Gazianors became slaves in the territory of the virtual esse. Athera was always tortured by the man who is now her husband, looked down upon by all the royal residents and always insulted if meeting the king's concubines. Athera Krystalian was a quiet woman, too kind, gentle, but she was not good at martial arts until she was always bullied and considered weak. He only had a younger sister who became his personal servant there.

Hoshs.. Hoshs.. Hoshs..

His breath was breathless with heavy sweat running up to his neck.

Athera could not yet digest what had happened to her as she had long dreamt of the life of a woman who had the same first name as her, then a young girl was holding her tightly.

"I'm claustrophobic" said Athera.

The girl who was none other than the previous Athera sister immediately let go of her embrace then looked at her brother sadly.

"Sorry brother, I'm so glad you're sober. I thought you were gonna die after Consort Yuen smashed your head with a wooden block."

Athera squeaked from her sleep while touching the bandage on her head that did not even hurt at all. His memories of the mirror and his dream were spinning in his brain.

So everything was real, he had exchanged life with a woman who lived in the past who bore the title of empress. Right now he could not cry even cursing at the gods because in fact it would all be in vain.

"I hate this miserable life! I hate exchanging fortunes with women who are even easy to bully!" athera growled without concern for the girl who looked confused and surprised by her brother's words.

"Sister what the te-"

Retha Krystial, Athera's younger sister, was shocked when her sister got up and cut her words .

"Where is Consort Yuen?! Take me there! I want to break his head with three big wooden blocks!" exciting Athera.

Athera was inexhaustible with all this. How could the king not come to see his condition that was almost dead due to being attacked by a concubine not even a single healer who seemed to be on guard to treat him.

"Silver can stand your emotions. You're still not well." Retha held her brother's right arm.

Athera stopped his steps and took a deep breath before exhaling slowly. At this time he must realize his position is also people he does not know, including the girl who continues with him. Dreams that are like explanations are really very less to understand.

"All right, but please explain everything about me. I seem to have forgotten everything including who you are. Describe everything even all the people who have hurt us, then explain the King who became my husband, in detail."

Retha was stunned then her hand fell from her brother's arm. Did her brother forget because of a blow to his head? At the moment Retha could only nod stiffly.

"Then, brother lay down first." Retha led Athera back to bed and then took a position next to her brother before finally opening her voice and telling her all about Athera Krystalian.
