CHAPTER 1: Crimson Snow

A/N's PoV
"Your majesty, we located the Princess. ." A man's voice said.

"Really?, where is she?" The Emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, she's at a small town called Meerimia and she have the bracelet with the Empire's Crest, and more importantly, she looks exactly like Lady Caroline" A man's voice said.

"Lance, are you for certain?. Can you bet your Royal Knight's Badge for it? " the Emperor asked him with cold as ice gazes that is enough for the others to tremble in fear. Lance, the Royal Knight of the Emperor kneel and put his sword infront of his heart.

"I, Lancelot Klein. I swear upon my honor as The Knight of his Majesty the Emperor that I have found the lost princess" Lancelot swear with such determination in his eyes.

"Commander!" his soldiers said in unison.

"Don't worry, no one is more certain than me for finding her Highness. I will take our Princess back, in the name of My Empress without her Title" Lancelot said with glistening eyes. That eyes will devour anyone in its way, the knight that once protect Caroline in the Holy Mountain, and Caroline's dear Friend. Royal Knight Lancelot Klein is swearing not just his badge, but his Honor as a Royal Knight, and once he failed his tasks, he is going to be sentenced to death without any questions. That's what Knight's Honor are.

The Emperor stand up from his throne and stretch his arm "I, Christopher El Trace Von Verlice, The current Emperor of Verlice Empire. I command thee, Royal Knight Lancelot Klein, bring my Daughter back in her rightful place!" The Emperor commanded, as no one tried to argue anymore, as the Emperor's words are absolute.

As the knights descended from the Castle. The Emperor went to his personal Garden full with different white and red flowers remembering the first woman he have ever fallen in love. Her White Long Hair that shines even in the Darnkness of the night, Her Crimson Eyes that captivated him to the fullest, and her Demeanor that is worthy of being an Empress and that what makes the emperor fall for Caroline. He can't bring himself to forget about her, about the woman who he can't protect, That it even haunts him with her soothing voice and gentle yet warm touch on his cheeks. He is longing for it. He is missing it.

Eleonore's PoV
"You piece of sh*t!" A man's voice said.

"I'm sorry, I'll clean the mess I have done, I'm sorry Mister." I said while trying to stand up.

"You ate more than your worth, you doesn't seem to be this useless!" The man said.

I just look down.

"Do some work!, We adopted you because we pity you!" He exclaimed, while me getting hurt what he has been saying for the past years. If mom didn't die. I wouldn't be like this.

As soon as he realized that I didn't budge at all, he pull my wrist and throw me to the wall.

"Ouch." I exclaimed, which hurts.

"You should thank us for getting you a place!, The only worth for you is your beautiful face just like your mother!" He said while holding my face and examining it.

"If I just sold you to Count Merinduque I won't have to work for a couple of months, 50 golds is worth for you." He said with a stern voice which makes me flinch and out of my fear, I push him and I run away. While running out of the house, his wife throw me a bowl near my head that startled me and make my head bleed a little, but I ignored it. This a humiliation. I can't do anything, I'm such a powerless child without her Mother. I started to run real fast, and as far as possible from that house, my feet hurts because my foot tripped earlier.
