"How many people live here?" asked the princess before shrugging as she tried hard to think back on what she could remember from the books she'd read while they sat on that small island near Nilo's capital city. It hadn't taken her long to realise that she was most likely never going to have a chance to read any more books after leaving that place, but that didn't mean she was going to let her past life slip out of her memory either. She found herself wondering how many books existed and whether anybody still remembered any of them, or if all those stories would one day fade like stars slowly dying within the vastness of space or the tales of gods and heroes turning into myths and legends told and retold until they eventually disappeared completely forever.

Monica, despite being tied up, was not worried because she knew that her husband would free her from that place without much trouble, so she just closed her eyes and waited patiently.
