A letter left on the bedside table Jeanelle, this is a habit that Jeremy often does if he goes without the knowledge of others and it seems Jeremy has gone since early in the morning.
He must have hunted first to eat the children, but Jeanelle had offered to help many times but Jeremy refused and said he would accept the aid when the time came.
"My position right now is also in trouble." Jeanelle shuddered both of her shoulders indifferently.
Brakes.
"Mr Princess."
The wide-open door featured Rena carrying a basin of warm water for Jeanelle to wash her face with.
"You always wake up early" Rena said, helping Jeanelle wash her face.
"It's a habit." replied Jeanelle briefly. "By the way I want to play out."
"Then I will accompany the Princess."
"No need, I want to play alone so this time I'm going undercover." Jeanelle put on a face begging to make Rena want to not obey.
"The princess must return before sunset."
"All right." Jeanelle smiled with satisfaction.

The Zetta Empire was the largest Empire on the continent and was led by a bloodthirsty Emperor as well as a power. Wars with other kingdoms always occur and that is also what makes this Empire expand at once chaotic.
The imperial capital of Zetta is one of the regions that is still organized because it is under the direct supervision of the Emperor, honestly the Emperor is not so interested in the management of the territory because all he wants is to live a life of fun.
Some of the territories led by the Empire's higher-ups were fairly restrained. The Zetta Empire had 4 dukes who served as the foundation. The 4 dukes who each led their own territory, but none of the dukes stood in the Emperor faction, they were all neutral for some reason.
'It seems that there will be an incident where the Emperor slaughtered the 4 dukes and made a new leader on his side.' Jeanelle remembered the story. The main male lead of the Western region was the only new leader who blatantly raised the war flag on the Empire.
Evan was very difficult to conquer it and actually until the end Evan could not conquer the Duke of the western region. But in the end Evan was not dead or imprisoned, he was only exiled and suffered in the slums.
Although Jeanelle is not the only one who died in this story, death is always nearby. According to the story, Jeanelle will die when she is 20 years old. The female protagonist aka Baila will start a rebellion when she is 18 years old.
Many traders offer their trades and buyers are looking around. If people who do not know anything see this is very pleasant and assume that the Zetta Empire is a very peaceful Empire under the leadership of a wise Emperor.
But actually this peace is just a mirage that was accidentally created, maybe in the hearts of the residents they feel anxious because they are afraid that their families will be dragged into this war that is impossible to stop.
"Jeje!" call Regina while pulling on Jeanelle's arm, Jeanelle immediately went out of her mind and looked at her friends who were also looking at her in wonder.
"Why are you daydreaming? Are you sick?" hyun asked with a somewhat worried expression.
"You didn't hear me when we called and kept moving forward" Suno said.
"I'm just thinking about something and aren't we making a deal in front of the clock tower?"
Jeremy nodded then pointed to something that was right behind Jeanelle. "Back of you is a clock tower."
Jeanelle spontaneously turned her head back, she was surprised because honestly throughout the journey to this place Jeanelle kept daydreaming, she thought about many things about her life and also Jeanelle began to forget about the contents of the comic.
"Geez I'm really daydreaming." Jeanelle muttered softly.
"Let's go for a walk." take Hyun who then takes out a cloth bag from his pants pocket. "Look I sold out a lot of stuff so today I'm the deal." Hyun said so cheerfully, his face beaming and looking happy.
Hyun's speech also reaped happy cheers from his friends, Jeanelle knew that the money Hyun had was not much but it made them happy. That day they had fun without realizing something was constantly watching them.

Baila walked so gracefully through the several passageways, the servants and knights who saw Baila instantly bowed respectfully and Baila only smiled greeting them.
"Your Majesty the Crown Princess." Rena who saw the sudden arrival of Baila instantly bowed respectfully.
"Wake up" said Baila who made Rena hurriedly raise her head and look at Baila with a polite look.
"Where's Jeanelle?" baila asked that made Rena and some of the other servants surprised.
'After all these years why is the new Crown Princess looking for Jeanelle now?' Perhaps that was what was currently at the head of Rena and the other servants.
But unfortunately they could not ask Baila directly because after all their status was only a lowly servant.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but the Princess is not in place. He was playing." Rena replied politely. Rene is the head lady in the Mansion where Jeanelle lives, thanks to the Rena Mansion which was once just an empty building now worth living in.
"Playing?" Baila looked to gnash her forehead in surprise. According to her memory Jeanelle had no friends and Jeanelle never came out of this Mansion.
"Then tell him to take his time tomorrow. Tomorrow at noon I, the Crown Prince and the Prince will visit."
At that time the Palace was shocked by the news, there were also servants who were happy because Jeanelle was finally recognized as the Imperial family but there were also those who felt dislike for considering Jeanelle as the disgrace of the Empire.
But all the opinions of the servants were only limited to opinion, no one dared to express their opinions to the Crown Princess who was so dear to Emperor Evan.
