I groaned in my head as I finally remembered what had happened to me.
How could they do this to me!
Every day I say my pledge, I was loyal to the Legion and never once thought of doing anything that went against the law.
Just why!
Why did they betray me like this!
They not only turned me into a girl but tried to brainwash me into doing all their biddings as well.
How could they do such a thing!
The tall guy shifted his feet and glanced over at the door where an enforcer came through. He was wearing the standard menacing black uniform but with 5 stars on his badge signifying his high rank in the Legion.
“This is my chief of security, Jones, he will be your handler until you are safely deployed. You will follow his words as law, he speaks for me and I speak for the will of the Legion” the tall guy commanded me.
My body smiled and nodded widely to the tall one.
More than half of my conscious was under the control of the brainwash. Meaning that my body was not under my control until I use my spiritual energy to supress the brainwashed conscious. It would be quite hard to fully take back control and would require me trying multiple attempts of slowly converting it back to normal. With the amount of spiritual energy I had, I would most likely only be able to take over for 4 hours per day.
My best option would be to allow my body to do its own thing and only take over when necessary. While my body do its own thing, I would slowly try to revert my brainwashed conscious back to normal.
I had always been good at controlling my spiritual energy in my brain and my mind as I had a lot of practice in that regard. When I was in the academy, I was always top of my class and had skipped 2 years ahead. This was another reason for me getting my job at a young age of 17. As to how I was so smart was due to me using my spiritual energy on my brain whenever I was studying. It improved my cognitive ability tremendously and improve all my senses.
I was able to see much further than normal and able to see more clearly in the dark. I could pick out different smells and pheromones in the air like a dog. I could hear further and hone in on things that I wanted to hear. I called this mode “Sensory Overdrive”. But with the amount of spiritual energy I had, I could only stay in that mode for 2 hours a day before all my energy runs out. This was how I was able to do so well in school.
I need to get more information about what’s going on and to do that I would have to play along with whatever they are doing for now.
Even being a spy for this scum of a family called the Legion would be better than going back to the shocks and treatments!
“Jones, get the team together and escort her back to Iranda. Treat her like you would treat the real princess” the tall guy commanded the enforcer.
He bowed to me and opened his hand to me.
I gently placed a hand in his open palm and smiled at him.
He smiled back before taking the leading role as we left the room.
At least he has manners.

“From this moment onward she is to be referred to as Princess Anna, call sign Ten-Ten. We will be escorting her back to Iranda and be treating her like the real princess. The transport will take us from the capital to district 1 to replace the princess and place her with her escorts. The real princess has already been abducted and her escorts brainwashed to think nothing has happened to them. When she is replaced, the escorts would not remember anything and would think that everything is normal” Jones notified his subordinates.
“Her deactivation code is ‘Subject Anna go to sleep’. If you repeat this three times, she will automatically be unconscious. In an event where something goes wrong, use this.” Jones notified.
That’s NOT good.
It’s really seems like the Legion doesn’t have my best interests at heart.
‘We thrive by the will of the Legion, to deny the Legion is to deny life itself.’
‘The Legion is your family, your family is the Legion’
It all feels so hollow now?
What do you do when your ‘family’ is hurting you for their own gain?

“Sir, should we be discussing her deactivation with her present?” a brave speaker asked.
The brave speaker nodded his head at me slightly and seemed to blush when I turned my eyes on him with the smile.
I’ve noticed that people seem to act weirdly when I focus on them now.
It’s rather fun to watch all these Elite members shy away from face.
It makes me feel powerful in an odd way.
“At ease Albert, she doesn’t speak English and even if she does, she is fully trained to not betray us. We’re perfectly safe” Jones answered.
I turned my fun new smile onto my handler.
He smiled at me reassuringly.
“The men are in awe of your beauty Princess, they fear they may be distracted by your presence” Jones reassured me.
It was more of an automated response then an actual emotion that made my cheeks flare up in a burning hot blush. I turned my body and cupped my hand over my mouth to hide my smile in the long sleeves of my dress in a feminine way.
I couldn't seem to remember much of what happened to me or what i was taught to do during the time i was trained under that woman.
He’s lying to me obviously but the important thing is what he told his unit.
They think I don’t speak English.
That’s GOOD.
That means that they aren’t all-seeing anymore.
That means I have a chance!

I was worried at first, when they took me onto an elevator and we rode all the way to floor zero but the moment we got out of the elevator they ushered me into the transport. The transport was a fully armoured black vehicle with 6 hover beacons. It was truly fancy and was very expansive. Even those living in district 1 would have to spend a large amount of their fortune trying to buy this. It was very rare to see a hover vehicle where I used to live. Only in the capital was it common.
It’s large and cool in there and there are glass windows on all sides. The seats feel nicer than even the leather ones in the tall one’s office! There was a tray will alcohol and snacks in the middle. It was truly luxurious and I felt like I was truly royalty.
At first I was hesitant to look out the windows but my handler assured me that no-one can see inside through them.
That seems to be true at least because I’ve seen so many people and they barely seemed to even notice us pass them!
Unlike the 2nd district where it’s just gray and black every where. In the capital, there were a larger array of colours. The houses were beautifully coloured. The houses if you can even call them that were traced with gold and white colours, making it look majestic.
Unlike the other districts, there were large amounts of free space between each houses used as gardens unlike the 2nd district where houses were stacked side by side. Large amount of free land were wasted just for greenery while in the 3rd district where faced problems with land space due to overpopulation.
If they stacked the houses side by side like the 2nd district, they could fit like a million people here easily. Saving people from being homeless.
I felt angry and disgusted at these elites of our society for the wastage of resources.
“Sir i have a question, why did they chose a man to replace the princess, wouldn't it be easier to use a real women insead?” one of the enforcer that was in vehicle asked in english.
I was intrigued by that too. Why would they waste so much effort to change a guy into a woman and program him to act feminine when they could just use a real women. I was baffled by this.
My breath misted the window when I got a bit too close to the window so I leaned back with an airy giggle and wiped the wetness off with the end of my sleeve.
The movement and amused little smile on my lips seemed to put the unit at ease.
The men were really tense when I first stepped in but after a lot of inane giggling at random things and some light smiles sent at them before I quickly ducked away in ‘embarrassment’ they all seem in pretty high spirits and are talking more about how innocent I seem to be instead of staring coldly at me like true enforcers.
“ Since we are in this vehicle where it is safe, i can answer you this, but don’t you dare act like this outside. Is that clear, Ron!” Jones shouted.
“Absolutely clear sir! I was just curious sir!” Ron replied.
“ When the upper management were searching for candidates to replace the princess, they searched for a few things that matched. Firstly, the body size must be similar, that killed 60% of the people from the search. It would have been difficult to change the height and built of a person.”
“Secondly, the mana pool must be similar. That killed another 37% of the search. He continued being a candidate due to his small mana pool. I don’t know how he is 17 and yet has the mana pool the size of a 13 year old.”
“Thirdly, The person must not be highly missed. There would have been many problem if the relatives and friends ask many question. It was easier for them if the person they were taking was generally a loner without many family or friends that would raise question about the disappearance.”
“There were 4 girls and him who were the final candidates that fit all 3 criteria. At first, they were not going to choose him and were going to choose one of the girls but that changed when they saw his profile. They saw that his academic score was off the charts and was highly intelligent.”
“He made scored A for every subject and had managed to skipped 2 years ahead. They were baffled by how he denied every large companies that tried to recruit him and worked as just a manager instead.”
“They chose him immediately to be their newest agent due to his intellect. Him having such a high intellect would allow them to program more knowledge and skills into him.” Jones shared.
If only i wasn’t such a loner! If only i had friends, none of this would have happened!
I sulked as i remember my past.
I didn’t really have many friends near my age as i had skipped 2 years ahead and most of the people in my class were jealous of my intellect. Moreover, i had no friends in the workplace due none of them wanting to be friends with someone half their age and being in a higher position than them.
My mother passed away when i was 7 and my father passed away when i was 14. My only remaining family member was my big sister who had taken cared of me after our parents passed away. She was 6 years older than me. However right after i finished school, she had disappeared. I couldn’t contact her at all.
I hope nothing bad happened to her.
