...I Love you...Princess Alina...

Adele frantically opened her eyes and rose up by panting heavily, covered with sweat all over her face.

"Wha...what is this dream about?!"

*Sigh*

"Since the day I've turned eighteen this girl always appear in my dreams!".Adele closed her eyes, then continued by wearing a lovely expression on her face.

"But...whoever this girl is...she is really gorgeous...and...also sometimes it kinda feel like, we've met each other before".She said by gently touching her chest, when her heart skipped a beat.

"But then again...I've never seen someone like her before in my entire life?...Anyway...what was that name she said...it was...".She thought for a while, then said being enthusiastic.

"Ah! Yes! Alina!"

Soon the joyous expression on Adele's face was faded, then in a serious tone she asked to herself.

"But? Who is Alina? And...if she appears in my dream then..then why was saying the name Alina...isn't my name Adele".She paused for a while, then continued by adjusting her morning messy hair.

"Argh! Why am I wastin my time by thinkin 'bout some strange drea-"

*knock-knock*

Adele quickly cleared her throat, then said lovingly."Come in Marie".

Marie Nanon was the head maid of their mansion since Adele was born, it was her who took care of Adele and gave her the love of a mother, since the queen, Eleanor Embiran, the birth mother of Adele, kept herself always busy to hide her depressed side from everyone after the king passed away due to a car accident when Adele turned one year old.

She kept herself so much busy that she even stopped breastfeeding Adele only at her age of one, then ordered Marie to start her weaning. Eventually, it was like, once in a blue moon for Eleanor and Adele to even talk with each other.

In actuality, Eleanor never had an intention to keep distances from Adele. She was doing it all, because, whenever she saw Adele it reminded her of the King, those crystal-like blue eyes and silky brown hair of Adele which resembled him made her to lose her control and to lead out tears from her eyes, revealing that hidden depressed side of hers, which she did not want to ever happen. Eleanor wanted herself to be a strong mother for Adele so that she could never feel the absence of not having a father, that was the reason for her to always be harsh towards Adele.

Being unaware, Adele thought that her mother hated her because the king died on her first birthday. By the time, when she turned five, she counted herself as the reason for her father's death, then eventually, she found her comfort zone near Marie and loved her the most.

*Clack*

Marie opened the huge door of Adele's room and said by bowing her head down obediently.

"Good morning Milady".The maid raised up her head, then said to Adele respectfully "Milady, if you allow me, shall I take out the clothes for you to wear at your first day of university today"

"Sure, go ahead, and..how many times I've to tell you that don't bow your head to me?".Adele said with frowned eyebrows.

"Pardon Milady, but, It is necessary for the royal maids to act like this or else her highness would get angry at me".Marie said respectfully.

"Who cares! She barely even return to the mansion and you are sayin that she would notice this, Nah, don't worry Marie, she won't care".Adele said being annoyed.

"Milady, you should not say such things about Queen Eleanor, she is your mother"

"Mother? Which mother acts like this to her child? Today's the first day of my university, is she here? No! She was never there for me".Adele asked with rage in her voice, meanwhile, Marie stood their stunned without answering to her."Ha! Why aren't you answerin? Hic..I've never ever received that warmth of a mother from her..it felt like she had literally abandoned me!".Tears were rolling down her rosy, pink cheeks.

"Milady! Don't cry! Oh no! I didn't had an intention to make you cry, Pardon me".Marie worriedly approached Adele by lending her some tissues.

"It's okay Marie, but..can I ask you sometin?".Adele asked in a calm tone.

"Surely Milady"

"Would you act this harsh towards your daughter?"

"Um..Well..".Marie stood their without having an idea of what to reply her.

"No, isn't it? Ha! I knew it".Adele wiped off the tears from her eyes.

"But..Milady..the Queen might have got some reasons to act like that, or else..I don't think that she is a rough person"

"Tsk! Reasons".Adele rolled her eyes, then said." Anyways, Marie, please take out my outfit for today but it has to be casual..'Kay~".Adele said with a pleasing smile.

"As you wish Milady".The maid said by bowing her head.

"There you go again"

"Milady do you want me to get punished?"

"Argh, whatever, I'm gonna freshen up myself"

After Adele left, Marie smiled herself gracefully, then went to her wardrobe for choosing out the best outfit from her massive collection of clothes. Finally she was able to choose the best outfit for Adele, a classy black jumpsuit with a stylish white jacket of leather and a gold belt with the logo of 'Embiran' imprinted on it.

After a while, Adele returned to her room."Great job Marie! It's an awesome combo! I loved it"

"It is good to know that you loved my choosing Milady"

"By the way Marie...isn't your daughter...Julia also eighteen now?".Adele asked while Marie was combing her hair.

"Yes Milady! But...you still remember her? That's kind of a surprise!"

"How can I forget about her, she was my one and only playmate".Adele smiled lovingly, then by counting her fingers she said "My goodness! I can't believe..it's been twelve years since I met her"

"Yes you're right Milady, I still remember that it was when you both were six that she left from here to stay on her grandma's house and on vacations I just went there to meet her"

Marie tied up Adele's hair into a perfect ponytail, then continued."So..I guess, it's been a long time since you two met each other, isn't it?"

"Hm..By the way Marie, is she still gonna stay at her grandma's place and not gonna return?".Adele asked in a childish manner.

*Chuckle*

"Aha, no Milady, Pardon me for not telling you but she's going to stay here from now on"

"Huh? Really! That's really good! Mm..but Marie..which university she'd be goin?".Adele's eagerness were reflecting through her eyes.

"Oh, It is Amberhigh University Milady"

"Amberhigh! What a coincidence! I'm also gonna go to the same university!".Adele said exitedly, then she gave Marie a tight hug and asked."Um..Marie can we both go to the university together?"

Marie held onto Adele's hands worriedly, then said with a tense expression on her face "No Milady..I beg you..you should not do that..the news reporters would make out a fuss about it, then Queen would fire me from this job, Please"

"Fine..I won't..but atleast let me meet her, I'm goin to your house Marie, 'kay?".Adele with an ease in her voice.

"Pardon me Milady but she must have went to the university so she is not at our hous-"

*Swoosh*

"M-Milady, where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Um...to the university, wish me good luck for today".Adele said by rushing towards the staircase.

"Um...Good luck for today Milady and I hope you would make good friends in there"

"Thank you Marie!".Adele dashed her way down by making out a loud sound out of her shiny, white block heels.

While Marie stood their watching Adele until the main door of the mansion.

Adele quickly got inside their limousine which had its front sealed with the Embiran logo on it, then she odered to her driver hurriedly.

"Driver! take me to the Amberhigh University, Quick!"

"As you wish Milady"

The driver started the limousine, then drove to the university in a fast speed as Adele ordered. On the way to the university, Adele mumbled with a fond smile."After twelve years I'm goin to meet Julia, I'm super excited"

As the grand limousine of the Embiran family arrived at the university entrance, Adele opened the door and made out an exquisite entry. Everyone in the university looked at her with admiring gazes and were murmuring about her sophisticated appearance.

*babble- babble*

"Hey, isn't she an Embiran?"

"OMG! I've heard that all the Embirans are dominant Alphas!"

"No wonder she looks so majestic, she's a royalty!"

"Woah! Dominant Alphas are no joke! She looks freakin attractive!"

"She looks like a goddess! Kyaa!"

At the very first day of university, Adele made her spot on everyone's heart. Everyone started to approach her asking for being friends with her, but Adele excused herself, then made her way towards the hallway of university, looking for Julia. While she was walking through the hallway, a gorgeous girl of around eighteen with wavy blonde hair and gleaming gray eyes passed by her.

All of a sudden, Adele's heart was pounding hardly, without thinking further she turned to her back, then suddenly grabbed one of that girl's arms and said with her eyes wide opened.

"I..I know you! You..you are that girl from my dreams!"

"What?!"

The girl looked at Adele being both, shocked and confused at the same time. Meanwhile, everyone at the university were watching them curiously.
