Suddenly Arien also start to feel throb in her head. "Ugh.." Arien start to fall too but Eiji quickly catches her. "Arien!!"

"T͢h͢e͢ s͢c͢e͢n͢t͢ o͢f͢ f͢l͢o͢w͢e͢rs͢..."

Alice slowly open her eyes and look around.

"T͢h͢i͢s͢ i͢s͢ t͢h͢e͢ E͢m͢p͢e͢ro͢r's͢ b͢e͢d͢ro͢o͢m͢.. D͢i͢d͢ s͢o͢m͢e͢o͢n͢e͢ s͢p͢ra͢y͢ p͢e͢rf͢u͢m͢e͢? T͢h͢e͢ s͢m͢e͢l͢l͢ o͢f͢ f͢l͢o͢w͢e͢rs͢ i͢s͢ s͢o͢ d͢e͢n͢s͢e͢..."

"W͢h͢e͢re͢'s͢ B͢i͢g͢ S͢i͢s͢t͢e͢r a͢n͢d͢ B͢i͢g͢ B͢ro͢t͢h͢e͢r?"

Suddenly, Alice snap out of it and slowly sit up.

"W͢h͢a͢- w͢h͢a͢t͢ i͢s͢ t͢h͢i͢s͢?!"

Alice sit up and look at her very long hair. She get down from the bed and walked to the mirror.

"W͢h͢a͢t͢... H͢a͢p͢p͢e͢n͢e͢d͢ t͢o͢ u͢s͢?"

"M͢y͢ h͢a͢i͢r g͢o͢t͢ l͢o͢n͢g͢e͢r, a͢n͢d͢ I͢'v͢e͢ b͢e͢e͢n͢ g͢ro͢w͢n͢ a͢ b͢i͢t͢ t͢o͢o͢."

"Around 10cm...?" Alice thought, touching her long hair.

"A͢l͢l͢ t͢h͢e͢ i͢n͢j͢u͢ri͢e͢s͢ o͢n͢ m͢y͢ a͢rm͢s͢ a͢n͢d͢ l͢e͢g͢s͢ h͢a͢v͢e͢ d͢i͢s͢a͢p͢p͢e͢a͢re͢d͢? I͢t͢'s͢ l͢i͢k͢e͢ I͢ w͢a͢s͢ re͢b͢o͢rn͢, a͢l͢l͢ c͢l͢e͢a͢n͢. W͢e͢l͢l͢ e͢x͢c͢e͢p͢t͢ m͢y͢ e͢y͢e͢s͢. I͢t͢'s͢ s͢t͢i͢l͢l͢ re͢d͢ a͢n͢d͢ g͢re͢e͢n͢."

"Ali?" Arien voice called her name softly. Alice quickly look at her. Arjen and Arien already wake up and look at Alice.

"You.. What happened?" Arien asked. Alice walked to them. "What's with our appearance?" Arjen asked.

"I don't know. The first thing, I woke up was looking at the mirror." Alice said to them. "What happened?" Arjen asked. "What's this flowery smell?" Arien asked. "I don't know either.." Alice said.

Alice sit on the bed with Arien and Arjen help. Suddenly the door open make they look at it.

"!!"

"You've woken up." The Emperor said. The servants behind him.

"T͢h͢e͢ E͢m͢p͢e͢ro͢r a͢n͢d͢.. I͢s͢h͢i͢n͢a͢!! S͢a͢ra͢ a͢l͢s͢o͢ a͢t͢ h͢e͢re͢!!"

"Has it been a week?" The Emperor asked. "Yes, just like the second Prince." Ishina answered.

"A͢ w͢e͢e͢k͢? W͢h͢a͢t͢ a͢re͢ t͢h͢e͢y͢ t͢a͢l͢k͢i͢n͢g͢ a͢b͢o͢u͢t͢? B͢u͢t͢..."

"Tidy them up and bring them downstairs." The Emperor said. "Yes." Ishina answered.

"He's only said what he wants to." Arien thought, looking at The Emperor who walked out from there. "While we're just sitting here not being able to understand the situation." Arien thought again.

"We'll need to cut their hair." Ishina said looking at the triplets. "We'll prepared it immediately." Other maid said.

Ishina was cutting Arien hair. Arjen with the familiar maid. Sara was helping Alice. "Congratulations to your Imperial Prince and Imperial Princesses." Ishina said. The three glance at her.

"What are you congratulating us for...?" Arien asked. "Ah, I almost used formal speech." Arien thought.

"Sara, what happened?" Alice asked to her maid. "A week ago, you three underwent manifestation, which happened to every member of the Imperial family." Sara answer.

"M͢a͢n͢i͢f͢e͢s͢t͢a͢t͢i͢o͢n͢?!"

"Wait, but we didn't grow at all?!" Arjen asked in shock. Alice also look at Ishina in shock face.

"A͢f͢t͢e͢r m͢a͢n͢i͢f͢e͢s͢t͢a͢t͢i͢o͢n͢, a͢n͢ I͢m͢p͢e͢ri͢a͢l͢ f͢a͢m͢i͢l͢y͢ m͢e͢m͢b͢e͢r w͢i͢l͢l͢ q͢u͢i͢c͢k͢l͢y͢ g͢ro͢w͢ t͢o͢ t͢h͢e͢ a͢p͢p͢e͢a͢ra͢n͢c͢e͢ o͢f͢ a͢n͢ a͢d͢u͢l͢t͢. B͢u͢t͢ w͢e͢.. B͢a͢re͢l͢y͢ e͢v͢e͢n͢ g͢re͢w͢...?"

"As you three know, you are the children of a commoner, so it seem your manifestation is imperfect." Ishina explained.

"A͢h͢.. I͢s͢ t͢h͢a͢t͢ s͢o͢. N͢o͢w͢ I͢ u͢n͢d͢e͢rs͢t͢a͢n͢d͢ w͢h͢y͢ t͢h͢e͢ s͢e͢rv͢a͢n͢t͢s͢ w͢e͢re͢ s͢u͢rp͢ri͢s͢e͢d͢."

"I have question for the three of you." Ishina said while help bow tie from Arjen. Alice and Arien look at her. Sara was brushing Alice hair softly. "What is it?" Arjen asked.

"Why did you look for me again? I wasn't an affectionate person." Ishina asked.

"You know yourself well." Arjen said. "We didn't search for you because of our personal feelings.." Arien said.

"We don't care if you treat us affectionately or if you treat us with contempt." Alice said. Arien and Arjen nodded at her. "We need your for your knowledge about the Imperial family. Because to this day, you've answered all of our questions honestly." Arien said.

"If we want to survive in this palace we need information. I don't want to risk anything especially since we know nothing." Alice said. Arien, Arjen and Alice look at Ishina with serious eyes.

"So please teach us lots of things. That's why we called on you." Arien said.

Ishina look at them im shock. "I thought they were just regular kids.." Ishina thought.

"But their eyes don't look like those of a 5-years-old.." Ishina thought looking at their eyes that full with seriousness.

"I.. I accept your command. Imperial Prince, Imperial Princesses." Ishina said bowing down at them.

"Your Imperial Highness." Sara said. Alice turn at her that finished brushing her hair. "Your Majesty give me permission to be your maid." Sara said. Alice look at her with happy face. "Really?" Alice asked.

"Yes, Your Imperial Highness. I'll be in your service for now on, Imperial Princess." Sara said bowing down at her.
