"Eureka!!"

"Shhh it's fine, she just fell asleep. It seems that her body isn't really that stable yet," Raven hushed them before carrying her.

"Do they have spare clothes here?" he asked Feena.

"Yes, follow me. I shall help her get changed," she wiped her tears before going ahead.

"Go and get a carriage, it's better to bring her home to rest," Raven then said to Mamoru.

Which he obliged instantly. The others just followed, soon Eureka was changed into a cotton knee length dress.

"Go on and bring her home. I guess we all need to talk, I know it's the night before your wedding but..." Rino then instructed.

"What of it. If I say no here, surely Feena would throw me out of the house on the night of our wedding," Hideyoshi replied lightening the atmosphere.

"I say, we talk in her house," Raven replied as he carried her once again.

"It's better for her to wake up with companions instead of being alone."

He remembered that time where she waited for him outside after waking up.

The others looked at each other before agreeing. It was still around noon, so their time is still fine. After settling Eureka down, they all went down to her living room.

"As you all know this is the second time, this happened. It seems that whenever her mind would remember something, it would be her most hideous words. The first time was monster," they all listened intently to Raven.

"There was a time where she referred to herself as a monster, it seems that upon realizing how well her facial features could hide her emotions, she became scared of that word. As if she was a monster who could hide anything."

"And this time around, you all were aware that she told us that she had killed all of us. The her from the parallel worlds that is. The trigger might be the first time she were together with the majority of us."

"That is why," without waiting for any of them to say anything, he added.

The thing he had been thinking all these time, "I want all of you to think about it, whether we'll allow her to remember or not. If not we will have to distance ourselves from her until the time she finally get use to her current identity."

"If yes, then as you have witnessed, what she might remember first are all the painful ones. And before she could fully remember, she might go mad."

"But..." Rino started.

"I know, this will still be under the condition that the previous king would agree. And I shall leave that to you," Raven answered knowing what Rino was going to say.

It was after all Akihiro who tasked all of them to interact normally for her for now.

Some of them could still remember her calm and serene look before she started getting glimpses of what have happened before. And somehow they wanted for her to stay that way, without caring about anything and just live normally from now on.

"Do you think she'll still be able to come to the wedding tomorrow?" Feena asked Raven.


"Don't worry, she was actually excited about it. She was giddy when we were on the way there."

After checking on her one last time, the others finally left. Raven stayed beside her.

*****

"What do you think father?" Rino asked after informing Akihiro about the events that happened for those two times.

"Let's wait for the replies of the others for now. Continue interacting with her until then," Akihiro replied.

They had met her a few times in the outside as well, but since she knew them as the former king and queen, she had always been reserved around them. That pains them for it was like they're back to when they didn't know who she was.

"I want to check on her," Haruka said on the side.

"Raven is with her, you don't have to worry. We'll meet her tomorrow," Akihiro replied.

No matter how much they wanted, they decided that not until everything becomes clear they will just watch over her from afar.

*****

"I knew you were popular but I never knew you were this popular," Eureka commented as she stood beside Raven.

Their long sleeveless dress were in royal blue color and it was designed with what looks like to be a water fall, from waist to the hemline. And the waist to top were designed with what looked like to be snowflakes.

The men were all wearing gray suits while the groom was wearing black. The bride on the other hand, had wind design from waist to the hemline and the same snowflakes on the top part.

Raven looked at her, her face was still a little pale but she was already smiling and her eyes were serene.

Upon waking up she didn't spoke about it and so he decided not to ask her either.

"You know, if looks could kill, I would surely be pulverized by now," she smiled at him, referring to all the ladies who are glaring daggers at her.

Raven just shrugged it off.

"At first I was skeptical when I found out that it was you who will be my partner, you might have someone on mind already. But Feena told me that you didn't want to bring anyone, that they might start assuming since this is a wedding."

Seeing him act indifferent she decided to just keep talking.

"Then I thought, if this could save you from trouble then I shall accept it. You have done so much for me after all. Yesterday included."

Raven just looked at her, waiting if she has anything more to say about yesterday but she didn't. She became quiet.

"It seems that she is still doing fine," Haruka heaved a sigh of relief after watching Eureka for a while.

She saw her smile and was all calm.

"I guess we're lucky Raven was still watching over her despite his words," Akihiro commented.

The ceremony ended just like that, everyone then went to the reception.

"Sister, sister," Hikari happily run towards Eureka.

"Princess," she opened her arms to welcome the princess.

"You're sooooo beautiful sister," Hikari complimented the moment Eureka carried her.

"Not as beautiful as you, princess," she replied.

'Now I see, that calming feeling I feel from him. It's the same as what I feel when I am with the princess. She's like a light brightening  up the dark part of my mind. The part where there was no memory,' she added in her mind.

"Sister, when can we play again?" Hikari asked.

"Hmmmm, wait for me a little bit more, then we can play again. I'm just waiting for the right time," Eureka replied as she tap Hikari's little nose.

'It seems being close to the princess would bring more stares than necessary,' she could only sigh in her mind.

"It's time for you to go back to your parents now, they're calling for you," she then said seeing Haruka calling for Hikari.

Hikari looked back before nodding her head, she run back to her parents when Eureka placed her down.

"An outsider acting all friendly with the princess, how courageous of you," one woman then said beside her.

Eureka didn't spare her a glance and went her way.

Being ignored like that, this woman signalled her companions.

One extended their feet in her path, to which she easily dodged, another "accidentally pushed a waiter who was carrying wine glasses towards her. To which she was able to steady him.

He thanked her and went on his way, wondering who would have stumble on him.

The woman who spoke gritted her teeth, somehow this thin woman was so flexible that none of her tricks were working.

She wanted to embarass this person but she kept dodging and dodging, not just her but the other jealous ladies wanted to do it as well.

Eureka herself was a bit shock, she didn't know she has such flexibility and agility. She just shrugged this off and continued on her way, walking at the side of the pool.

Her head snapped to the other side of the pool, where many more guests were gathered.

'Killing intent?'

She looked back to where the former royals were but they were still in the midst of their own talks, she looked towards where Raven and the others were. They were also talking by themselves.

'They didn't seem to notice, was I the target? But why? Someone wants to kill me?'

*SPLASH*

In the midst of her thought, someone "accidentally" bumped unto her, causing her to fall off the pool.

'I forgot about those jealous ladies,' she struggled, she didn't knew she couldn't swim.

*SPLASH*

Just as the commotion was about to start, another person jumped in.

When she was pulled up, she took a deep breath and started coughing, "It seems you saved me once again."

Raven didn't speak and just helped her up the gutter. She felt weak, from suddenly drinking too much water and maybe from that killing intent she suddenly felt.

Those who wanted to start gossiping zipped their mouths instantly the moment Raven carried Eureka away from the crowd. He glared at those ladies, he noticed their petty tricks but seeing as Eureka was able to dodge them easily he didn't bother.

"I say, this is quite a scene for my wedding," Feena spoke.

"That's right, why does she have to create a commotion, she was just an invited commoner," the lady who had been initiating the subtle attacks spoke up thinking that it was Eureka whom Feena found unpleasant.

Different brows were raised after her sentence. But no one speak up.

Whispers broke out but no one dared to add to what that lady have just said. They didn't know who that was and knew her as an outsider but she was Raven's partner and obviously was invited by the bride herself.

Surely despite being a commoner they can't spoke badly about her, publicly that is.
