The novel, 'The Free Life of Anna' was the best selling book of all time.

Anna was the daughter of the maid the Emperor had once loved, however, one day the maid suddenly vanished because Annalise's mother kicked the two out of the palace as she was afraid the position of the Empress will be stolen by a maid.

In the novel, Anna grew up in a rural village with a kind nature and beautiful appearance.

When Anna's mother died, Anna was adopted by a Count who is close with Anna's mother and was reborn as the Count's Daughter.

However, on the day Anna made her debutante, she caught the attention of the Emperor and was brought forcefully in the palace because of how she looked like her Mother.

That's how she was once again reborn as the second princess. By that time, Annalise was already dead.

That's how the story goes, but....

Annalise glance at the man who is leisurely drinking his tea without saying any word. It was awkward however, Annalise was used to it and do the same thing as the man or should she say, the Emperor who is drinking his tea.

The man felt as he was being copied stopped drinking and said, "I heard from the doctor that you want to live the way you want."

Annalise cursed the doctor, although he was handsome enough for a average human being, the man in front of Annalise is 10x more handsome than that doctor who spilled every tea she said back in her room.

Annalise replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. So, in order to do that, Can you please let me live in my maternal grandmother?" with a hint of sarcasm, The Emperor, Theodore De Faven stared at Annalise and later on chuckled as if he found something amusement.

Annalise shivered after hearing Theodore chuckling all by himself. '......Is he crazy?'

"I will let you live with your grandmother but keep in mind, You are still the First Princess of the Faven Empire and I'm sure you know what i mean by that, mm?" He smiled while he stare at Annalise.

'Know your place, Be Upright.....Is what he mean by that..' As the first princess of the Faven Empire, after the death of the Empress, Annalise hold the most power among aristocrat ladies. Even though she is born with a weak body and a disease, Annalise is still the legitimate daughter of the current Emperor and the late Empress. She's also the granddaughter of the most powerful family of the Faven Empire which is the Voltes Family.

Annalise sigh quietly and stood up from her chair. Although, she find the man in front of her annoying she bowed down her head and said, "Thank you for accepting my selfish request and for reminding me my own position, Your Majesty. This daughter shall remember it." Theodore sigh before he stood up from his chair and walk away from the garden.

Annalise stared at his back. After his figure disappeared, She sigh heavily and clench her hands, feeling proud.

'Now that i have that man's approval, i can finally leave in this damn palace..' Annalise thought before she stretch her hands and went back to her room, excited for her trip in the Dukedom.

Although, the grandmother of Annalise wasn't mentioned even once on the book, she was still regard as the most noblest woman in the Empire. Also, base on the OG Annalise's memories, her grandmother was kind and sweet to Annalise, she was also the one who took care of Annalise after the Empress died.

'I'm so excited!'

The black figure stare at Annalise's back as he observed Annalise's movement. With a dark silver hair and lifeless green eyes, he chuckled after hearing that Annalise was becoming healthier and that she wanted to live the way she want before her time ends.

The man took out his gloves and was about to leave the room when Annalise felt that someone was observing her.

"Who's there?" She asked, frightened.

The man click his tongue before he went to the dark spot which is the side of the ceiling so that Annalise wouldn't see his hiding spot. But, because of his carelessness he left his black gloves in the floor. '!!...sh*t..'

Annalise glance at the area, there was no one not even the guards were here. She was only the person left in this wide palace, however one thing caught his attention.

".....Gloves?" She frown and tried to smell the glove. 'A mint smell. How fascinating.'

Annalise slide black glove on her hand, she smiled and left the place thinking that the maid, Ilona will be worried if she still hasn't come back before the sun goes down.

On the ceiling, the figure went down on his powers. His silver brown hair waves as he felt his cheeks burning up.

After seeing Annalise without a lifeless eyes and pale face, the man couldn't be happier after witnessing Annalise's sincere smile.

'.....Get a grip! Don't fall for her.'

He slapped himself before leaving the place in the opposite way where Annalise went.
