On a bright and sunny day, a commotion unfolded in the bustling city center of the Solaria Empire. The scene? Yet another quarrel between the Princess of Elarion Kingdom and the Grand Duke’s daughter from Nocturne. Their bickering was a familiar sight to the citizens, and today it had escalated into a full-blown scuffle—complete with hair-pulling.
Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed across the sky, halting their heated exchange.
“Huh?” Both girls stared at the figure before them, utterly perplexed.
“Who are you?”
“Who...?” they both asked simultaneously, voices laced with confusion.
The princess frowned. “This language... it’s the first time I’ve heard it. But why do I understand it?”
Each girl found herself bewildered, scrutinizing the person before her. Though the speech and demeanor were unmistakably familiar, the appearance was anything but.
Their eyes lingered for a moment, their minds racing to process what had just occurred. Realization dawned on the princess first.

Her golden eyes sparkled as she admired her reflection. “I’ve always been beautiful, but this... this is divine! Shimmering blonde waves, radiant golden eyes, skin as smooth as porcelain... A beauty worthy of the heavens!”
Beside her, the Grand Duke’s daughter stood silently, frozen in disbelief at the unfamiliar reflection before her. Long, straight dark blue hair framed a face with serene violet eyes. This wasn’t the face she knew.
“This... is me?” she muttered, barely audible.
“Yes, it’s us!” the princess declared, her voice tinged with excitement. “We must have swapped bodies, just like in those novels I’ve read. But whose bodies are these?”
Her gaze shifted to the crowd that had gathered, and it dawned on her that they were the center of attention.
“By the way, why are they staring at us like that? Are we that famous here?” she wondered aloud.
The Grand Duke’s daughter followed her lead, finally noticing the murmuring crowd. “I’m not sure... Maybe we look strange? Just look at our messy hair.”
“You’re right! Why are we so disheveled?” the princess mused.
As the two girls puzzled over their situation, the onlookers were even more confused. Just moments ago, these two were at each other’s throats. Now, they stood side by side, speaking as if they had known each other for years.
