"Princess? But Papa and Mama are King and Queen! And I thought I wasn't the princess till I became an 18 year old!" "That is what I've come to explain, Milady…your parents are dead…I am so sorry…"
Even though Alisa was just 11, she understood the situation. Her father and mother were known for being harsh on the citizens of Acrylia, it wasn't surprising that their time came so early in their rein. Still, it was hard for Alisa to accept that fact. They were her parents after all.
"I see…so Papa and Mama are gone?" "…Yes, they are..." Tears welled up in her eyes. She's never felt so…strange before. Alisa knew her parents deserved it, but she didn't want them to be taken away from her so soon…
"…Who's going to take care of me now, Terry?" Terry kneelt down and hugged her tightly. She rarely got hugs from Terry, since her father always had something to do for him. But whenever he did have time, even if it were just a second, he'd hug Alisa. She was the only family he had, after his parents died in the Millennium War. And now, he was the only thing Alisa could consider family…
After what felt like an eternity of hugging, Terry let go. The 13 year old looked at Alisa with tears in his eyes. "Alisa, do you know who Mr. Wammy is?" She looked up at him with an expression of familiarity. "He's Papa's friend, right Terry?" Terry nodded.
"You're going to live with Mr. Wammy from now on, Alisa!" Terry tried to sound as happy as he could for Alisa, but she knew how crushed he was on the inside. "He'll be here in a few hours." Terry put on a forced smile, "And don't worry, I'll help you pack!" Alisa looked up at Terry, no longer as sad as she had been. "Terry, will you come and visit me every now and then?" Terry took Alisa's hand "Of course I will, Alisa!" He squeezed her hand and his smile turned more sincere. "You're the only person I have left! It's my duty to visit you!"
Alisa and Terry had just finished packing. They were sitting outside on the 2nd floor balcony, when Mr. Wammy arrived. His ink-colored limousine was parked right outside the castle grounds, as usual. Terry sighed and turned to look at Alisa. Leaving her with Mr. Wammy was not what he'd planned on doing, but he was fully aware of the consequences for keeping Alisa in Acrylia.
Terry felt a tug on his shoulder. "Terry? Mr. Wammy's here." Terry put on another forced smile and grabbed Alisa's suitcase. "Alright." He sighed. "Let's go, Alisa!" She replied with a nod.
