215 Ch. 215 'Is This A Dream?'

Well, it is a prince who came to wake her up from a long sleep, but the way the prince stirred her up was very epic.

"Hey, wake up, sleepyhead. You will turn into a fat pig if you don't wake up now."

The princess, who originally intended to sleep a little longer, suddenly woke up feeling annoyed.

"I'm not a fat pig!!"

A burst of roaring laughter filled the room from the prince's lips while the princess glared at the prince in rage.

"Big bad brother. Go away! I hate you!"

"Aw... baby sister, I know you could never hate me."

The princess took one of her pillows and threw it at the prince, who was none other than her nosy brother.

As soon as the princess threw the pillow, her brother had come out of her room. The pillow hit nothing, making the princess groaned in frustration.

Not long after, the princess gasped as if lightning hit her head.

Wasn't that her brother earlier? Yes, she was sure the one who woke her up was her brother.

The prince was indeed her brother, but not the brother she knew as Richard. That person was wearing splendor clothes like a prince, and what did he say?

Fat pig?

Only big brother Xiao Yang ridiculed her with the nickname fat pig. Brother Richard would never call her a fat pig.

Niken glanced around and suddenly realized this was her room when she was in the Nishian Kingdom!

What happened?

Shouldn't she be in Beast country?

Wait. What did she go to Beast Country for?

Niken held her head feeling dizzy as she tried to dig into her memory.

She still remembered her life as Niken and lived with brother Richard on the eastern continent, but she remembered nothing other than that.

She remembered meeting someone who was very important in her heart, she remembered that person was one of the Elementalist knights, but she didn't remember what his face was like or that person's name.

Niken felt that her head hurt more every time she tried to remember.

Then Niken remembered the attacks that occurred in her kingdom when she was a child. She remembered that she and brother Xiao Yang escaped but were almost caught by the evil Elementalists. Then sir Jaydn, one of her mother's acquaintances, managed to save them both.

Right. 

Niken shouldn't be here, neither should her brother.

What happened?

"Good morning, Yue'er. Did you sleep well?"

Niken felt her throat tighten at a voice she had not heard for a long time. She never forgot this sweet voice that accompanied her night before she slept when she was a child.

Her mother's voice.

The voice of the mother that she has long missed.

"M… Mother? Is... Is this a dream? You're still alive. "

Xiao Feng, the queen of Nishian, chuckled at her daughter's words.

"What's wrong, Yue'er? Do you have a bad dream? Of course, I'm still alive and perfectly fine." Xiao Feng walked over to her daughter to hug her, causing Niken's heart tremble.

Dream?

Everything she went through was a dream?

So, the attacks from the Elementalists that separated her from her parents were just a dream?

How could it be? Plus, she doesn't have any memories from when she grew up here.

Just as she didn't think she had any memories, a flash of images flitted through her mind.

Niken remembered that she had grown up well in Nishian country with her parents and older brother.

Her brother was still a pain in her neck as he always made fun of her at every opportunity. Nevertheless, Niken still loves her brother and vice versa.

Niken also recalled that her father, the king, had retired and stepped down to hand over his position to crown prince Xiao Yang. Now her brother is the king of this country.

Like it or not, Niken believed that what she has been through all this time was just a very long nightmare.

But she still felt unsure and thought that what she sees now was not the real thing.

Niken broke free from her mother's embrace to make Xiao Feng astonished.

"Yue'er?"

"I'm sorry, mother. But I'd like to be alone. "

Niken shifted her body to the edge of her huge bed to get up and go to the bathroom.

Niken deliberately waited there without doing anything. After making sure that her mother had come out of her room, Niken then went out of the bathroom.

Later she walked to her balcony terrace to see her chamber's backyard, filled with gorgeous flowers. She remembered she used to go to the back garden while chasing butterflies that flew over the flowers.

Niken still remembered very well what kind of palace she had lived in for seven years. She also recognized her room's design was like, so she was absolutely sure this place was indeed her chamber room, her palace.

Only, Niken was sure something was wrong with the place, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

She felt that there was a big hole in her heart, yet she did not know what might be missing.

Niken felt that her life as Niken growing up as an orphan with Richard was only a dream. All the people she had met in her dreams were just her imagination, and now she couldn't remember a single person who had been her friends.

Is it true, what she's been experiencing all this time just a dream? Was what she saw now her real life?

If that was the case, Niken… Xiao Yue would be happy to embrace her current life.

She could live with her birth parents without any enemies out there, eyeing her strength.

Little did she know, her actual physical body was currently lying in a crystal coffin, and some tentacles like a white snake covered her head.

The tentacles tried to get rid of the memory of Niken's real life and insert a fake memory that Niken so desperately wanted.

Meanwhile, a pair of pure gold eyes stared at Niken with enthusiasm as they couldn't wait to see what Niken's character would look like after the brainwashing process ended.

***

That day, cheerful laughter and a joyous atmosphere filled the dinner hall within the palace.

Xiao Yue decided to forget about the dream she was trying to remember and return to her real life.

Xiao Yue talked with her mother with a happy heart, listened to her father's adventures in exploring another country, and occasionally bickered with her annoying brother.

"Yang'er, how long do you plan to be single. It's time for you to settle down."

Their father's words took the king by surprise, while Xiao Yue chuckled with amusement at the uncomfortable expression on her brother's face.

"After my baby sister finds the right person, then I will choose a partner and settle down."
