 CHAPTER 1: Whats Wrong With My Life?!

    Matthew and I are playing on the flower field. I''m making flower crowns while Matthew watches over let him be my bodyguard.


    We always came here to play ever since he showed it to me. Well we don''t exactly play but just sit down, relax and enjoy the warm breeze.


    Today is no different, well that''s what I thought but ever since my engagement with Edward was announced he became more... I don''t know... different than usual. I was thinking of asking him if he''s okay but I was startled when he spoke first.


    "Um... Risdo you like Edward?"


    "Edward?"


    "You know... Edward von Heldron..Your fi-fiancee"


    "Oh him.. He''s okay I guess, I mean I only saw him once"


    "Is that so..."


    "And besides the engagement isn''t final yet, dad said that if I find someone I love before I turn 18 then the engagement will be revoke"


    "Really?! Did uncle said that?!"


    "Yeah since ''My Happiness Comes First'' is what he said"


    "YES!!"


    "Matthew??"


    I was very confuse of our conversation just now and his enthusiastic reaction just now makes me wonder what had just happened. I was about to ask him again when he suddenly kneeled before me and took my hand as he gaze into me with such seriousness.


    "Matthew...?"


    "Ris I know that we''re still young and I don''t know if you feel the same but let me say this before anything else...


    Until I grow to become a fine Duke, I, Matthew von Meltrine, pledge to love and someday marry Princess Clarise von Locksire. This promise will forever go on for all eternity."


    "..........."


    "This I swear with the blue sky, animals and this flower field as our witnes... chuu"


    Matthew sealed his promise with a kiss on my hand that he holds.


    I was very speechless that I don''t think I can respond to anything at the moment.


    But it was evident that my answer to his proposal already shows on my face.


    It took me a while to calm my nerves a bit and the first thing that I said was a random thought that I never expected to say.


    "So that means this flower field will now be called Garden of Promise!"


    "................"


    "I mean since we did our promise here and all... also you said that the flowers were witness-"


    "Hahahahaha"


    "Matthew.."


    "It''s a nice name Ris


    Yosh! From now on this place will be called Garden of Promise"Stolen story; please report.


    <hr>


    [A new year, new school, new classmates and new society but same old me... haa]


    I raise my hand and looked at it while walking with how ''ordinary'' my life is now an unusual thought came


    [Maybe something will happen]


    As soon as I said those words, the ''dream'' that keeps hunting me flash before my eyes. It gave me shivers along with unpleasant feelings that makes me want to go back home and crawl under my bed.


    To be honest its not always like this, I was a normal girl and well I still want to consider myself as one but I know I can''t. Anyway, on my 10th birthday everything that I know and see suddenly changed. It was the day that the ''dream'' ot rather nightmare started.


    At first I thought nothing of it but on the days of full moon, it always shows so vividly that even if its not full moon I can visualize it. It utterly gave me a psychological trauma, in fact I am still very fortunate not to go insane with that nightmare hunting me every night. How I wish to turn back to the time before I had that''dream''.


    I was so focus that I wasn''t paying attention to where I was walking until I bump into something or rather someone.


    "Ouch! Umm.. I''m sorry, are you o--"


    I looked up to apologize but I didn''t expect it to be an IKEMEN. Kyyaaa!? I know my luck isn''t good but if this compensation for the misfortunes that I''ve been through then I don''t mind! But something feels odd.


    I wasn''t aware that I''ve been staring for a while and just when I thought he will finally say something, what came out isn''t what I was hoping for and made me doubt if it''s a fluke or just a simple coincidence.


    After hearing it, my body felt chills and automatically dash out. I soon arrived at school and I immediately rush towards the comfort room. I feel like puking my breakfast and guts out, I am literally drench in cold sweat.


    [haa haa.. What the heck was that... haa haa]


    I stayed for a couple of minutes to compose myself before the leaving the stall. I check myself in front of the mirror and saw how horrid I look right now. Seriously I look like a banshee.


    I fixed myself then I left the comfort room and head straight to the infirmary. I don''t really feel like going to class and I don''t think it''s wise to attend class with my mind in disarray.


    The school nurse, Seki Mira, knows me very well since I spent most of my time in the infirmary so when I told her that I''m not feeling well, Mira-sensei didn''t ask any furthur questions instead she told me to take a rest. Mind you all, that Mira-sensei is a gorgeous woman and that''s no lie. With a long brunette hair and hazelnut eyes there''s no man that could resist her, addition to that is her D-cup melons that top it off.


    [She not only beautiful on the outside but also on the inside... especially those melons, I bet its the same with them as well.. haa]


    I went to my usual spot and dove into the bed. Just lying there kept me thinking of the things that happened throughout my 16 years of exsistance. At some point I haven''t realize that I fell asleep and woke up lunch break.


    "I guess I was more exhaused than I thought"


    I strech my body a bit before thanking Mira-sensei and went to my classroom but before I proceed any further, I just realize that it''s the first day of classes meaning I have a new room as well. Upon realizing how lost I am, Sou-sensei happens to pass by.


    "Sou-sensei good morning"


    "Takahisa-san good morning, what are you doing out here?"


    "Actually Sensei I was at the infirmary the whole morning, you see I wasn''t feeling well so I miss the opening ceremony and now I don''t know which class I belong.


    I guess you can say that I''m pretty much lost here"


    "Hmm.. I see... Are you feeling okay now, Takahisa-san?"


    "Yes Sensei, I''m feeling a bit better"


    "Well that''s good. Anyway why don''t you come with me to the Faculty Room and I''ll look which class you''re into"


    "Really?! Thanks Sensei, you''re a life saver!"


    [Lucky~]


    The walk to the Faculty Room isn''t long, Sou-sensei took a list and looked for my name. As I wait, I notice that there''s almost no teacher in sight. Thinking that maybe it''s lunch break that there''s no one around but its almost time. Sou-sensei called out and I let the thought be buried at the back of my mind.


    "Takahisa-san you''re in class 2B"


    "Class 2B... Thanks Sou-sensei"


    "You''re welcome, you better go home and take some rest"


    "Un, I will after school"


    "After school? But its only half day today Takahisa-san"


    "Eh? Half day?"


    "Yeah, everyone has already left. I just came back for some documents that I forgot"


    "O-oh I see... hehehe"


    "So go home and take some rest okay?"


    "Okay, thanks again Sensei"


    After bidding farewell, I rush out of the room and straight out of school.


    "That was so embarrassing!!"


    With that my first day of school came to a close.

 CHAPTER 2: Nothing Goes According to Plan

    I woke up rather early today so I decided to so some light jogging before going to school. I used to be in the track way back in elementaryschool but I quit half-way of 5th grade, now I just do light jogging and go to the dojo for my taekwondo. I may not look like I could do such thing because of small psyche but I could a nasty roundhouse if I want to.


    I was on my thrid lap when my thoughts sway towards my encounter with the mysterious guy.


    "Ouch! Umm.. I''m sorry, are you o--"


    "Clarise"


    [I wonder how did he knows that name... Maybe its just trully a coincidence, I mean there''s many girls with the name Clarise especially in Europe.


    Yup, that''s it! Its a coincidence! So lets forget about that guy]


    I continue to jog until I reached 5 laps before going back home to take a shower and prepare for school.


    I don''t really spent too much time in prepraring so I''m quicker than my siblings plus I''m an early riser, well its because of the ''dream'' that I became like this. I''m pretty much trying to convince myself of the positive benefits it brought me just to let myself sane for the time being.


    Anyway I guess I need to tell you a bit about my life and myself.


    Lets see... As you have read I am Takahisa Risu, I have wavy black hair and aqua blue eyes. I''m the third out of the 6 of us. I am pretty much aloof with everyone other than my family. I don''t talk much to people I don''t know and don''t like, and I don''t like people I don''t acknowledge to carelessly touch me.Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    Just like the boy back in middle school, he''s a flirt and tried to hit it off with me but I ignored him then he grab my arm and that''s when I give a nice hammer kick which cause him a dislocated shoulder. But you know after that he stop being a flirt, he basically just learned his lessons but its a good thing for him to turn into a new leaf while its still early.


    Going back to the topic, I basically can do any art if I want to. Whether it be knitting, sewing, drawing, painting and any kind of handicraft I can easily learn it and do it. I also do some singing but I''m not very confident but my mom and dad are great singers, they say that both of them were in a chorus before along with my aunts and uncles.


    My family basically consist of my mom, Takahisa Iru and dad, Takahisa Kino obviously, my big brother, Takahisa Niro, my elder sister, Takahisa Eru, me of course, Takahisa Risu, my younger sister of one year, Takahisa Miru, my other younger sister of 9 years, Takahisa Chisu, and last my younger brother, Takahisa Rino.


    I know, we''re a BIG family. They are actually my silver lining especially with what is happening to me, they were the reason why I haven''t given in to despair yet.


    Well as you can see I have a typical normal family, the only thing that differs is me.


    I was putting on my shoes when mom called out.


    "Risu what time will you be home?"


    "I don''t know mom, why?


    "Well make sure you come back early, it''s your birthday you know"


    "Birthday? Me? Today?"


    "Yes, it''s your birthday.. Don''t tell me you forgot"


    "Hehehe... It seems that is the case"


    "Haa, well just be sure to be back earlier okay"


    "Okay mom"


    "Ri-neechan good morning and Happy Birthday... haawooo"


    "Hahahah, thanks Rino.. as usual you''re early as well"


    "Un, I need to help mama"


    "I see, Rino is a good boy"


    I rub Rino''s head and bid my good bye. I was feeling good being greeted Happy Birthday by your family since they most of the time forget about it especially after 10th birthday but ever since Chisu and Rino came to know about it, they''re the ones who mostly remind the family of the birthday''s of everyone.


    [But I can''t believe that even I forget about it. I guess that the result of my mental exhaustion... haa


    Well I better go back as soon as school''s over..


    Better yet I''ll pick up Chisu and Rino before going home, I bet they''ll be surprise to see me~]


    I was having a blissful moon that I once again neglected my surroundings. Before I know it a speeding truck is heading my way. I brace myself for the impact but nothing came instead i found myself in a meadow full of flowers.


    I know that one day I will be separated from my family but I never actually thought that our conversation earlier will be the last one that I will ever have.

 CHAPTER 3: My Life is Full of Surprises

    "WHERE THE HECK AM I???!!!!"


    I looked around and saw various flowers and grass. I do admit that it was a very beautiful scene but it''s not the time for me to appreciate it. I try arrange my memories and recall what happened a few seconds ago.


    "I was walking to school thinking that I will surprise Chisu and Rino by picking them up and then there was a truck rushing towards me...


    After that a guy with black hair and red eyes pulled me then there''s a bright light..


    Now here I am.. Eh?"


    The more I recall the events the harder it is for me to believe such things have happened but the fact that I am here in the middle of god knows where makes everything that has happened real. I guess I''ll just be thankful that I didn''t die or got hit by the speeding truck or else.


    Can you imagine the pain that I''ll go through before dying. Just thinking about it already giving me goosebumps. Erase, erase, erase. Don''t think about it. Don''t imagine it.


    I calm myself for a bit then I start to assess my sorroundings.


    Flowers... check


    Grass... checkYou might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.


    Trees... check


    Fanfir... check


    .....


    .....


    FAFNIR?!


    I stood up and run as soon as it registered the Fafnir in my mind.


    Oh who am I kidding, its a FAFNIR for goodness grcious!


    I wasn''t even a good chase for it not to caught me in mere seconds.


    "I feel like peeing my skirt right about now...


    Someone? Anyone?


    HELP ME!!!"


    I was anticipating a huge bite right about now but it didn''t came.


    I release a breath when I realize that it won''t eat me at all.


    The Fafnir is still on top of me when I heard a voice call for it.


    "Niru!"


    "Woof!"


    "Did you caugth someth-"


    "He-Hello?"


    "Um.. Hello?"


    "A-Are you the owner of this wonderful d-dog?"


    "Ah.. No.. I mean, I guess you can say he listens to me but I''m not the owner though"


    "Is that so, but if he listens to you then could you tell him to get off of me.. He'' pretty heavy"


    "Ah! Right... Sorry about that.. Niru please get off of her"


    "Woof!"


    The Fafnir, Niru, stepped back and went to the guy''s side. I stood up and give him my thanks at the same time I introduce myself.


    Well its only proper to give an introduction to someone who saved me from Niru.


    "Thank you for helping me, I am Takahisa Risu and you are?"


    "No problem and it''s nice to meet you Takahisa, I''m Dominic Wills."


    "Once again, thank you Dominic... Oh and by the way, my name is Risu and my last name is Takahisa"


    "Oh, I see.. So its like that and here I thought your name was Takahisa"


    "Yeah"


    "Anyway what are you doing here Risu? It''s not a ristricted area but there are plenty of monsters here you know"


    "M-Monster?!"


    "Yeah.. You didn''t know despite coming here?"


    "Well no.. and I didn''t come here voluntarily, I just find myself already here"


    "Huh? What do you mean by that?"


    "I mean it wasn''t my intention to come here... where is ''here'' anyway?"


    ".........."


    "Dominic?"


    "It''s nothing... Well since you don''t know let me tell you"


    Dominic, Niru and I sat on the flowery field as I wait for him to begin explaining about this world.


    But what he said snext is beyond my expectation.


    "This place is called Garden of Primise"


    As soon as those words left Dominic''s mouth, the only person that came into my mind is him.
