2nd Floor Tower
Ptolemaios Sultanate
The second princess of the Ptolemaios Sultanate, Cleopatra Ptolemaios Auletes is currently busy with various tasks and documents related to the replacement of the leader of the Sun Temple. Although her uncle had not yet died, people knew it was only a matter of time before Cleopatra took his place. So the duties of the Sun Priestess are gradually being given to her.
"Your Highness Princess, do you not intend to leave this job to me? Now that the sun is shining so brightly, we're afraid Your Highness' body won't be strong enough," said one of the maids politely and anxiously.
Cleopatra was standing in front of the stall to buy some coronation items in person. She intended to choose them herself since the event was related to her. But the maid was right, the sun was now shining very brightly. If she fainted, she feared the news would only make her sister, Princess Berenice nag her more.
"All right, I'll leave it to you. Thank you," Cleopatra replied with a warm smile.
The maid and the other maids who had come with her were all smiles.
"Of course, Your Highness! Please take a short rest."
Following the requests of the maids and guards, Cleopatra walked to a covered chair near the stall. She sat there for a while while waiting for the maids to finish their shopping.
She leaned her small body against the back of the chair. She also straightened her legs to steady her breathing. It had been a long time since Cleopatra had any free time in the middle of the day. It didn't feel bad either. In fact, she felt sleepy because of the warm sun and breeze.
Her eyes that were slightly dazzled (even though she was blind, they could still be dazzled) by the sun gradually began to close. But her consciousness was still there, she would not sleep in the open like that. Cleopatra just wanted to try to relax and think for a while.
"Right now... Aneue and the others should already be on the 3rd floor, right...?" Cleopatra thought.
Her right hand was clasped tightly.
"The 3rd floor was... the first place that separated Lady Ophelia and her friends... After that incident, Lady Ophelia's nature completely changed. She became much more introverted, assertive and too full of justice. This is the reason why not many people want to be by her side as a partner."
"But don't worry Lady Ophelia..."
Despite being blind and blindfolded, Cleopatra could hear and feel the footsteps of someone walking towards her.
"I will not let that future happen. Before going to the 3rd Floor, I already asked Aneue to obey and believe in the 3 people I mentioned. This will definitely make the future better. As long as those 3 people are not disturbed and are helped instead."
"I deliberately only told small clues so as not to interfere with the development of Aneue, Lady Ophelia and the others. And so as not to spoil the line of destiny too much."
"To that end... Lady Naeva, you must not get involved with this matter, no matter what."
TAP TAP TAP
Cleopatra's eyes snapped open. She turned to where the footsteps were coming from. It could be heard from the reflection of her voice that a girl whose height seemed not far from her was standing at a safe distance so that the troops would not be wary of her. The girl was wearing a typical Sultanate outfit that was quite covered as there was a shawl covering her head and a veil on her face, but Cleopatra did not find the girl suspicious or dangerous.
"Can I help you?" Cleopatra asked whoever it was.

The guardian anubis did not sense any malicious intent from the girl. Add to that the fact that her expression was now very radiant as she looked at Cleopatra, and they were even more convinced.
"Ano! You are indeed Her Highness Princess Cleopatra, aren't you?" the girl asked politely.
Cleopatra nodded, her expression friendly. Because of the princess's kindness, the girl became even more radiant.
She nimbly took out a thick paper album with a pen. She handed them to Cleopatra (still at a distance).
"I am your fan! Can I have your autograph?"
Cleopatra, "!"
This was the first time Cleopatra had encountered such a situation. Even Cleopatra's guard looked equally confused. Usually this kind of thing only happened to idols or artists. So no one would have thought there would be something like that to the Sultanate Family.
"Etto... Autograph...?" confused Cleopatra.
The girl became agitated.
"A-Ah... Is that not okay? I apologize if my request was so presumptuous..."
"N-No, it's not that I can't..." Cleopatra denied.
She couldn't see that the girl was saddened by her momentary confusion. After weighing things up and thinking for a while and asking the maids and guards for their opinions. Cleopatra felt there was no harm in granting the wish of the girl who claimed to be her fan.
".... Okay."
The girl's gloomy face brightened considerably.
"Really!? Thank you Your Highness!!!"
The paper album and pen she was carrying were handed over to a bodyguard to check before being handed to Cleopatra for signature.
Actually, Cleopatra was still a bit confused. But... As long as the girl was happy, Cleopatra felt it was enough.
SET SET SET
"Is this okay?" asked Cleopatra after signing the paper.
"Yes! That's enough, Your Majesty! Thank you very much!!!"
The girl looked very happy when she received back the paper album containing Cleopatra's signature. She even spun around and swung the album in the air.
Seeing her that happy, Cleopatra's heart warmed.
"You're welcome."
"By the way, may I know your name?" asked Cleopatra. She wanted to remember the name of her first fan.
The girl stopped moving, as if frozen in place.
"My name?"
A strange smile painted on the girl's face, her idle right hand slowly pulled the shawl on her head. Now the guards could see clearly, the color of her hair and eyes that were only vaguely visible before. What an unusual color.
The clean silver hair on the right and the jet black hair on the left blended together to form a harmony. Her eyes were a different color, just like her hair. In addition, there was a strange symbol that they had never seen on both irises.
But that's not what's important now. Because, right after the girl's shawl came off and her appearance became clearer. The girl was traveling at the speed of light as if she was teleporting next to Cleopatra.
"!!???"
Of course, this shocked everyone. Meanwhile, the girl herself was now draping the golden shawl she had been wearing over Cleopatra's face.
"STAY AWAY FROM YOUR HIGHNESS PRINCESS!!!!" snapped the guards, pointing their weapons at the girl.
A terrible oddity occurred. With just one flick of the girl's finger, everyone... No, time had stopped. Cleopatra was the only person besides the girl who could move.
Ignoring the people whose time had stopped or Cleopatra who was trembling and breaking out in a cold sweat despite looking calm, the girl brought her mouth to Cleopatra's ear.
"Noe. My name is Himeshi Noe," the girl smiled.
Before Cleopatra could react, the girl's entire action was done without pause.
"Don't be afraid of that. I'm really your fan. And some of my friends are too."
The girl glanced somewhere.
"They really like you, you know. That's why I stopped by to see you for a while before I went on vacation."
"To give you a small gift."
The girl who called herself Himeshi Noe tugged at the shawl wrapped around Cleopatra's head.
As Cleopatra felt the shawl disappear from her head, time went back, and the girl also vanished without a trace.
"SHE-LOST!?" the guard was shocked.
"Where did she go!?"
"Your Highness!!! Are you alright!?"
"Did that bitch do something!?"
"Your Highness Princess!!!!"
The guards and maids immediately approached Cleopatra to ascertain her condition. Everything that had just happened was still incomprehensible to them.
But unlike the shock and surprise of the guards and maids, Cleopatra's shock and surprise were completely opposite.
"I..."
Cleopatra began to mutter something. The others immediately fell silent, giving her a chance to speak.

Cleopatra's trembling hands gently touched her face.
"I can... see...?"
The gray-white eyes changed color to look just like her twin sister. For the first time in her life. Cleopatra could see the world with her own eyes.
