Satin Serphent was the oldest daughter of the emperor and was therefore the crown princess of the empire. She didn't really like or dislike being a princess. She didn't have time to ask herself if she liked it because she just did whatever her father told her to do. She went to classes every hour of the day and did her best to be perfect. It wasn't really hard because she was a talented and nonchalant child to begin with. She therefore felt bored most of the time. Nothing gave her any pleasure and she just did what she had to because that was the only thing she could do. Even if people gave her free time, she wouldn't have known what to do anyway.

Satin's face always reflected the boredom that she felt in her everyday life. Her dark eyes were always unfocused and her thin mouth was always turned downwards. She looked through people without interest and never answered anyone's questions. People did their best complimenting her to get on her good side but it didn't work. They could say anything about her long black hair, they could compliment her tall build, they could tell her how smart she was, she never budged an inch. Because of this, Satin soon got known as the unimpressible one and day after the other everyone tried to make her smile without succeeding.

Being a crown princess, Satin soon got engaged to Imeena Wyrm who was the youngest daughter of the Duke. The girl was a tiny blond creature that was smaller than Satin despite both being 4. The petite creature was crumbling under Satin's gaze and the crown princess forgot her the second she looked away. She didn't really like or dislike people and Imeena wasn't an exception. Satin thought that Imeena had been forced to get engaged to her because of how uncomfortable she had seemed but soon the little girl started clinging to the crown princess. The latter hated her peace being disturbed by that person but it seemed their parents wanted the two of them to spend a lot of time together so Satin didn't have a word to say. She just ignored the little girl and did her best to live her life as before.

However soon things changed at the castle. The little girl came every day for tea time and Satin who never liked tea was now forced to drink it in the company of her fiance. Imeena was too shy to say anything and just smiled to the maids and politely answered their questions while Satin just stared at some far away point and did her best not to break the table. There was a lot of pressure on the two girls for getting along so at first they were left together but a few months after their engagement, a new family member appeared in front of Satin. The newcomer was Nebula Wyrm, the older sister of Imeena who finally got the authorization to follow her sister to the castle. She was five years older than the girls and had the same blond hair and green eyes as her sister. People always said that the two sisters looked exactly the same but Satin didn't see the resemblance at all. Contrary to Imeena, Nebula never clung to Satin. On the contrary, she avoided the crown princess with all her might and that started at their first meeting.

Nebula only bowed to the princess without saying anything and didn't even look her in the eyes once. As soon as she was done with the formalities she rushed to her sister all smiles and did her best to look after her. Satin wasn't used to people ignoring her. Usually it was the other way around. It was rather unsettling but she thought it was for the best. That was one less person paying attention to her. But then why was she waiting for Nebula to come every day?

In fact, Nebula started accompanying her sister to every visit to the castle and while Imeena was following Satin around, Nebula did her best to divert her sister's attention and take her somewhere else to have fun. When they were drinking tea and Imeena said something to Satin who ignored her, Nebula would always answer instead and praise her sister for how cute or smart she was. When they were walking and Imeena wanted to hold Satin's hand but got pushed back, Nebula would grab her sister and pull her into a running contest that she would let Imeena win before praising her again. Nebula was there saving the day and indirectly, Nebula was helping Satin a lot being bothered by Imeena's constant following her but then why wasn't the crown princess satisfied? The rare times Nebula looked at her it was a look full of disdain and anger because she did something wrong. It was a first for Satin feeling this weird because of someone's gaze. She felt like she would crumble under Nebula's pupils but at the same time she was waiting for her to look her way.
