"How did you get this scar?"
"It was on the day of the funeral of Queen Layla"
"Huh?"
"Do you remember what else happened that day?"
"I don't"
"All the people from the palace were attending her funeral. The security and the maids too. Only two people were at the palace at that time"
"...."
"It was you and Lier"
"That day..."
"That day the kidnappers broke in to kidnap you"
"Me? But it was Lier"
"Indeed. They were there to kidnap you but failed. And they ended up kidnapping Lier"
"...."
"This scar..." she touched her scar and said, "I got this when I tried to save you that day"
"Huh?"
"I was at the funeral too. It was just on a whim, I thought I should go and check up on you. And when I came here, I saw them kidnapping you"
"I...don't remember that"
I remember them Kidnapping Lier.
"They had destroyed the walls. Not only walls, but they set up bombs too"
"...."
"When I came here and saw all that. I had two choices, to save the palace, or to save you and Lier"
"Don't tell me..."
"I saved you and Lier, but I failed to save the palace. I tried my best to disable the bombs, but I couldn't disable them all in time, and some bombs went off. The outer palace was destroyed"
"You got caught up in the explosion?"
She nodded and said, "My body was stuck between the walls. I couldn't move. All I could do was see Lier getting kidnapped by them"
"What was I doing?"
"You ran off"
"...."
How could I do that?!
"The wounds I got were deep, so deep that I knew I would die in a few minutes"
"...."
"The security alarm went off, and you came back. You were standing in front of me"
"I came...back?"
"It was too painful for me. Not the wounds, but dying in front of you"
'The most painful thing is to see them die in front of you'. So that's what she meant.
"You were so sad"
"I was sad?"
"Yeah, you looked in pain by seeing me die"
"So I was...sad"
I wasn't that heartless.
"I was both happy and sad. Happy because the last person I saw before dying was you. And sad because I wouldn't be able to see you anymore, I wouldn't be able to see you grow. I wouldn't be able to see you on the throne"
"Why don't I remember any of this?"
"You don't remember many things"
"....."
"You often used to forget things. Even now too, you forget things"
"I don't do that on purpose"
"I know. But you blame us by saying we are lying to you, and hiding things from you. Even though you are the one who doesn't remember them"
I said the same thing to mom.
"Then...I have come to the palace many times after that. Why didn't I see you?"
"I wasn't there"
"But I must have searched for you, or asked mom and grandpa about you!"
"Sadly, you didn't. You forgot about me"
"I didn't!"
"You forgot about me"
"I said I didn't! I...remembered you!"
"You forgot that the maid named Daulla ever existed"
"I didn't...forget you"
"It's the truth"
"Then!...Then why did I remember you when you came and hugged me when I entered the palace?"
"You forgot that I ever died"
"...."
"You forgot that you had forgotten me"
"Doesn't make any sense! And you are alive, right?"
"....."
"You are standing in front of me. Talking with me, right?"
"Yes"
"You are the Daulla, right?"
"Yes"
"Then--"
"But it's true that I died that day"
"Huh?"
"All the bones of my body were crushed, and I had multiple organs destroyed"
"....."
"I don't know what they did, but they asked me, 'Do you want to live?' and I replied with yes"
"Who they?"
"The King and the Doctors"
"....."
"The bones of my body were replaced with metals, and my organs were replaced with artificial organs"
"Your body...."
"I had no idea what was going on. I woke up ten years ago"
"What?"
"I was in a deep slumber for ten years"
"But..."
"I woke up six months ago. And Ange and the King filled me in with the details"
"...."
"Ange told me about you being bullied in your school. I am sorry, I wasn't by your side when you needed me"
"Lier was with me"
"Yeah. She has grown into a beautiful and caring girl, just like Queen Layla"
"Yeah"
"Huh?"
"What?"
"What?"
"What are you surprised about?" I asked.
"Nothing"
"Tell me"
"It's nothing"
"Wait! Then...that Sherley. She isn't your sister?"
"She is not. She was standing in front of me when I woke up six months ago"
"...."
"At first I was surprised, but later I found out that they made a clone after me"
"Clo...ne"
"The first thought that came to my mind was, 'What about Lil Das?', but when I asked them about that, they said that you have forgotten me"
"...."
"I was afraid to greet you when you came to the palace, but I tried my best. And I was happy that you remembered me"
"I am sorry"
"No need to apologize. That was all in the past. I am happy to see you again"
"Can you control your clone or something?"
She shook her head and said, "She is like another me"
"Does she have your memories?"
"I think no. She can't even speak"
"Huh?"
"I forgot to tell you this, but the clone was a failure. She is defected"
"...."
"She has no mind of her own. She just does whatever she is told to do. Just like some kind of robot"
"So she doesn't know you, right?"
"I don't know. But I do know that she is fond of me"
"Huh?"
"She always follows me, stays near me. No matter where I go"
"Like you do with me"
"How rude. I do give you some space"
"So you are not going to deny the 'follow part'?"
"One day I was annoyed by her. So I locked my door and went to sleep. But when I woke up, she was sleeping next to me"
"..."
"I almost slapped her"
"In other words, you got scared"
"I didn't!"
"No, you clearly did"
"Then what would you do if you saw someone who looks exactly like you, sleeping next to you when you woke up in the morning?"
"I will kill him"
"Don't say scary things"
"The one who looks like me is not allowed to live"
"Well, I have a clone. She is young too"
"And the reason you look so young is...?"
"I used my system"
