I immediately woke up because of the sudden glare of sunlight passing through my room’s windows. I never liked the light. Ever.
“My lady, lunch is served.” Kristina announced, tying up the lush golden curtains with a purple velvet ribbon. She’s my most loyal maid, and will do everything I order her to do. The color of her hair is an interesting mix of honey and hazel, which compliments her dark-green eyes. One of her most charming features is her heart-shaped face. Her name is a bit of a turn-off, though. I had a hard time pronouncing it at first.
She wore the traditional Tsukino Maid dress with her family's symbol on the frilly crest above her head. The hue of the coat of arms design matched with the black and green color of the maid uniform. The top of the dress fits perfectly and emphasizes her... ahem, average physique. The skirt is below knee-length and flows freely for comfort. On top is a paper-white apron with small frills on the edges, with a small green lace fixed into a thin bow between the collars.
“Kristina, fix my hair.” I slowly sat on the side of my bed and stretched. Small creases appeared as I did. Would it be too weird if I say I enjoyed hearing my bones ‘pop’? It’s ungraceful for a heiress, I know, but I can’t help but like it.
Kristina leaned down and gave me my slippers. My late mother gave it to me as a present when I was eight. It’s furry, soft and has the face of an usagi as its main design.

As I sat down, I stared at the girl in front of me as she stared back. “Why is she so beautiful?” I quietly asked. Her lips twitched slightly, as if preventing herself from smiling, “Because the girl you see before you is yourself, my lady.”
“Exactly.” I yawned and watched her do her magic on my hair. Trust me, Kristina is probably the best hairdresser in the whole wide world. With only a few turns and twists, she can transform your hair into something that only princesses have. And that’s why I have her as my servant. I deserve only the best.
I surveyed my room through the mirror as Kristina brushes my hair lightly. Everything is exactly where they should be. No, wait. There’s something missing…
After a few more seconds of investigating, I finally realized. I gasped and quickly stood, causing Kristina to drop the brush. It hit the wooden floor with a loud thud. I asked her with a panicked voice, which I really don’t care if she can sense it or not, “Where is my bow...?”
Her eyes widened when she turned her gaze to the empty bow holder near the door. “I do not know, my lady. I did not even realize that it is not there the moment I entered your room.”
Without a moment of hesitation, I went to the...
