The space shattered but I encounter another problem.

I'm still not back at real world, instead I am standing on a platform with huge magic circle carved below my feet.

What I am staring is something unbelievable. I'm still in space but I'm not floating around like I used to. I could walk properly.

My eyes is set on the thing before me.

"A castle....in space?" I muttered. 

It's a medieval western castle. It's a large one at that, The peculiar thing about this castle is that there is a tall white tower. Also I don't see anyone beside me, I feel like there is something inside that castle but I was wondering why there is no soldiers guarding the castle. 

Isn't that a common sense?

I think they aren't here anymore, it means this castle is abandoned. 

The problem is, There is something is telling me to go inside the castle. It's really suspicious but I want to get out in here soon. 

The only answer I could get is to get inside.

My power still won't work, also my inner demon and heart desire also disappeared. Why is it?

"Okay, let's get inside....worse case, I'll just run....but the problem is where to run?"I look behind and saw endless space. I heavily sighed as my brows creased.

I took a deep breathe. gritting my teeth as I sharpen my senses. Preparing myself incase there is an ambush. I don't want be trapped again.

I walk forward as I aprroached the strange looking iron gate. The gate have strange carvings on it. As for what it is I don't understand, I only see dragons and people attacking each other.

I wonder what's this place is, So enigmatic. I used both of my hands in attempt to push the gate. I still didn't use my strength yet the gate open on its own.

Ugh, someone is watching me. It's intent is so obvious and not hiding it at all. I gritted my teeth as I step forward.

Walking on the stone floor, my footsteps echoed around the area. The only thing could be heard is my footsteps, because I'm wearing a wooden slipper called Geta. 

Its wooden noise reverberated. I wanted to throw this slippers away cause it's noisy. But, I dare not to, because my Mama gave me this slippers. How could I throw it away.

I move close to the castle door. It's a big wooden double door. Before I could stretch my hand to open the door. It open on its own again.

Damn, I think someone is making fun of me. Is it the black book? Does it want revenge?

I promised I will burn it into ashes. Just wait you asshole, If I see you I will tear you into pieces as I burn you crisp. I clenched my fist, Ignoring the open door.

I look at the large dark hallway inside. I step forward, then surprisingly a blue fire lit on either side of the wall lighting the dark area, it made my heart skip a beat. Becoming more wary of this place. I continued to walk through the hallways, the blue fire ignited as I walk.

Then I arrive at T junction, There is a blue fire ignited on the left so I walk left. The right was yellow fire so I think it's not the path I should take.

I followed the blue fire as I walked through the complex hallways. God, This is like my family's palace, so many paths.

After 10 minutes of walking I finally arrive at my destination. it's the highest floor of the castle. It's the tallest white tower. I arrived in front of a door, it's a luxurious white door. 

At the back is a balcony, I could see everything down there. 

The blue fire is flickering at both side of the door. I feel the blue fire has a conciousness somehow. 

I shook my head.'That's impossible, It's just my imagination.'

Standing in front of an elegant looking white door. It have flower pattern carved on it with golden outlines. Truly beautiful looking door. 

I doubt this is where the black book is, Because no matter how you look at it. This room is for a maiden there's no way an asshole like the black book situated in this room.

"Ahem!" I heard a cute coughing sound.

"Who!?"I was alerted in an instant as I prepare a spell on my hand.

"Here."The blue flame flickered as it uttered voice. 

"You can talk?"I asked, Still preparing my stance, not letting my guard down a little bit.

"Yes...forget about that, mister are you not going inside?"The cute voice of the flame resounded like little girl in my head.

Ugh, what am I doing. It's a flame. As a lolicon, hearing a cute voice of a little girl is really deadly for me.

I slapped my head.

"Eh mister, are you okay?"The cute voice of the blue flame asked, bewildered to the man who slap himself suddenly. She was puzzled why he was slapping himself. 

"Yeah, it's nothing."Hearing the concern voice of the blue flame, I struggled making a creepy grin. I continued."Anyway, is there someone someone inside?"

"Yes, There is. If you want to know who is it. You should see it yourself."The blue fire said.

It seems it didn't want to answer my question, so I could only find it on my own if I want to know who is trapping me inside. I don't care if you are girl, trapping me in space for many years is unforgivable. It also made me close to forgetting my love ones. Also my frustration is building up those past years without releasing them.

I step before the door as I turned the knob of both doors. I opened it slowly as light covered my vision. I didn't close my eyes instead opened it preparing to counter if there is a sudden ambush.

The door opened widely as I look around the room.

"Eh....?"I was dumbfounded seeing what's inside. 

The room can be described as an Elegant bedroom with flowery aesthetic design. The gracefulness of the room can make a heart flutters. It's so beauiful beyond compare, there is not a single stain can be found in this room. It's like a room for a goddess. Even the highest class hotel would be ashamed.

"So beautiful."I muttered unconciously as my gaze travel around the room, mesmerised by the gracefulness of the room.

I wander my eyes around my room and finally my eyes landed on the soft fluffy chair, Someone is sitting on the chair. 

That someone also looked at my eyes as the two of us staring at each other. I got shocked seeing this person as my heart uncontrollably jump a beat. 

A maiden, Yes a pure maiden, not a girl nor a woman but a maiden. So pure that I'm afraid I would stain her.

She was sitting on the chair looking at me with a very sweet smile. She is like a doll but with a life.

She have beautiful long wavy silver hair as it glitters like stars in space. Her eyes have the same color as her hair, both pretty. Her eyes stared at me with curiosity but In my heart I was so afraid I would accidentally stain her if she get close to me.

This is the first time I'm afraid of staining a female. What the hell is wrong with me?

We continued our staring contest.

She was wearing a thin frilly dress with a blue ribbon on the chest as her skirt flows like a clouds. she was wearing golden bracelets. I felt terrifying pressure looking at the golden bracelets. 

Time passed by, We only stared at each other for hours without saying a single word. Not a single word has been spoken. I tried talking but I don't know where to start. Should I greet her or Should I get angry of her for trapping me? I don't know, my mouth would not move...
