> (Ayra stares directly at you, the reader)
"You again? Still here? Wow… you must really love trauma and power fantasies.
Also, dear author—why are you writing my life like a multiverse soap opera?"
(She smirks)
"No offense. Okay, maybe a little."

Chapter Start: The Calm Was a Lie
The golden halls of the powerful kingdom buzzed with preparation.
The court nobles were whispering, the maids rushing, and the soldiers patrolling like ants on fire. Why?
Because the King's Granddaughter had returned.
Ayra, of course, wasn't impressed.
> "They throw me out of one kingdom…
And throw a party in another.
Royal logic is just multiverse-level dumb."
She leaned on the palace balcony, sipping juice like she owned the place. Because, well… technically, she kind of did.
But the calm was deceiving.

Meanwhile, in the Depths of the Multiverse…
Far, far away—beyond layers of reality—a cloaked figure kneeled before a shimmering throne of stars.
> "She has awakened," the figure whispered.
"And?"
"She remembers nothing… but her power is beyond our estimates."
"Then… begin Phase Zero."
The stars flickered like nervous eyes.
A new operation had begun.

Back at the Palace… The King Moves
Ayra's grandfather stood in his war chamber, eyes burning with fury as he read scroll after scroll—reports of assassins, poisonings, and the shameful treatment Ayra endured.
> "My daughter… my only daughter… and my granddaughter…"
CRACK — He crushed the scroll in his fist.
"Send the Shadow Order. Burn the names of those who hurt her into the stars."
Ayra's family had made a mistake.
A big one.
Because now… Grandpa was mad.

Ayra's Commentary Corner:
> (She sips her drink, staring at the reader)
"Wait wait wait—so NOW everyone's emotional?
Where were those tears when I was sleeping in the forest being hunted by third-rate villains?"
(She throws a pillow at the author's invisible head)
"Seriously, do I get paid for all this trauma?"
(Pauses)
"...No? Of course not."

Enter the Mysterious Ring-Bearer
The boy Ayra found earlier—quiet, scarred, and oddly wise—sat near the courtyard fountain, staring at the silver ring on his hand.
Unknown to all, a portal opened for a split second nearby.
A man stepped through—one of the Multiverse King's most loyal men.
He froze.
> "That ring… It can't be…!"
He whispered under his breath, "He's the one we've been searching for."
But he didn't speak.
Not yet.
The pieces weren't ready to move.

Ayra's Final Word This Episode:
> (Looks directly at you with a raised brow)
"Mysterious guys. Angry kings. Overpowered secrets.
And you still think I'm just some cute princess?"
(She grins)
"Well… maybe I am. But I'm also the girl who can blink and erase your galaxy. So behave."
