The Forgotten Princess

t we were content.

Seeing my younger self let me remember my happy childhood that was over shadowed by the life I lived inside the palace.
I had forgotten how happy I was living with my mother.

I walked towards my younger self and tried to touch her.
And like the others, my hand went through her.

’So she is just an illusion as well.’ I thought.

My younger self was running around happily while I was in a daze watching her play.
A smile crept on my face.

’How I wish I lived like this until I have grown up.’ I thought.

If my mother didn’t get sick because of the poison, then she wouldn’t have given me to my father.
Then I would have lived my life until now in this village.
I would have grown up to be a normal commoner girl and not a princess.

’But, I would have not met Leon.’ I thought sadly.

My life inside the palace was nothing great and it was full of sadness but when Regaleon came it became different.
It was as if Regaleon brought the color to my life which was black and white before he appeared.

’I wouldn’t want to change anything in my past.’ I thought.
’Well except maybe trying to prevent my mother being poisoned by the queen.’

I was so engrossed watching my younger self playing around when I heard a familiar voice.

”Alicia! ” The voice called.

My heart thumped rapidly after hearing the voice.

”Alicia, its lunch time.
Come in and eat first. ” The voice said.
”You can play again later. ”

”Yes mama. ” My younger self replied happily and ran towards the tavern.

I slowly turned around and looked where my younger self ran to.
And there at the side of the tavern, my mother was standing.
She was wearing her waitress uniform with her hair tied in a bun.
My younger self ran towards her and my mother caught her in her arms.

”Mama, I’m hungry. ” My younger self said.

”Then let’s go to the kitchen.
Wash your hands first oaky. ” My mother said to my younger self that was now running towards the back of the tavern,

”Yes mama. ” My younger self replied while disappearing from my view.

I walked towards where my mother was.
She was standing with her back facing me.
I was reluctant at first.

’What if she was also just an illusion?’ My heart was thumping fast.

I was feeling nervous but I need to know if she was real.
And so I stretched my arm towards her and grabbed her shoulder.
I felt the heat radiating from my palms.
Her body was solid; my hand didn’t go through her.

My mother was surprised with my gesture and turned back to look at me.
Our eyes met one another, her silver eyes to mine.
She was more surprised when she saw my face.
I am not certain if she recognized me.

”Mama… ” I called out to her.
