The Forgotten Princess

tention to the queen at first and just dug in on the food because of my hunger.
But when I was about to finish, I realized that the queen was looking at me with affectionate eyes.

I chomped my last bit of food and drank some water.
I took the napkin at the side to wipe my mouth.
I still need to maintain my elegance as a princess in front of someone of much higher status than myself.
It was a bit difficult to move around with this aunt that I have only met now.

”You are very beautiful indeed. ” The queen stretches her arm and caresses my cheek.
This made me flinch in surprise.
”You have the looks of the royal blood of Atlantia.
I always wanted to have a daughter like you.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t given such luck. ”

I looked at Queen Patricia gauging her reactions.
But she maintained that affectionate look as if she was looking at her own child.

”Your majesty… ” I have resolved to ask her my questions.

”You can call me Aunt Patty, Alicia. ” Queen Patricia smiled gently.
Looking at her made me remember my own mother, their looks are rather identical.
Looking at her smile so gently made my heart clench in longing with my own mother.

”A-Aunt… ” I stuttered.
”May I know why I’m here? ” I gathered my courage and looked at her coldly.
’She is not my mother.
She is not my mother.’ I repeated this sentence inside my mind.
I need to be firm in where I stand and not give in to my aunt who looks exactly like my mother.

”I was taken here without my consent and stayed here for six months.
I am the crown prince of Grancrest’s fiancée and should be married to him by now. ” I said with confidence.
”This is clearly a crime to have me here for the past six months.
But if you kindly let me go back to Grandcrest, I will specifically talk to the crown prince to pardon this action.
After all you are my family by blood. ”

The queen looked at me while listening to my words and was still maintaining her smile.
A brief silence enveloped the room.

”I am afraid I cannot let you go to Grandcrest. ” The queen said nonchalantly.
”As of now a war is raging on between Jennova and Grandcrest.
Therefore it will only be dangerous for you to travel there. ”

”War?! ” I looked at her with shock.
’But I thought Regaleon was trying to prevent this war.
Was it because I was taken away here in Jennova that a war broke? Is he trying to get me back with force?’ My heart felt warm knowing that Regaleon was trying to get me back even if he is against a whole country.

”Yes.
And not long Alvannia will ally themselves with my country in this war.
I am afraid that after this war ends, Grandcrest will be no more. ” The queen’s smile that was once gentle a while ago now became sinister.
”And the engagement between you and the crown prince of Grandcrest is null and void, because by birth you are my son’s one and only fiancée.
You were born to be my son’s wife. ”

Like I thought, speaking with her won’t do any good.
I am really a prisoner here in this country.
I have to find a way to escape and send word to Regaleon.
