Once upon a time, a very very long time ago, in the only empire of the western continent, the Empire of Asteria, there was an ordinary noble girl named Anatolya*. Her life was normal, and was the only daughter of Viscount and Viscountess Kerkuk*. Anatolya had a younger brother named Taner*. Her family was well off and didn't have many enemies.
The dark brown haired girl with eyes like dark chocolate looked out her balcony window connected to her room, looking out at the rain and thinking why her parents aren't home yet. As she was questioning herself about something she couldn't answer, someone knocked on her door. As her train of thought was interrupted, she thoughtlessly answered the knocking by telling the person to come in. Thinking it was her brown eyed mint green haired maid with pale skin, May, Anatolya didn't look back at the door and just continued to watch the rain.
The person who she told to come in, was indeed the maid named May, as she informed Anatolya that the Blue Sneetch Knights were waiting for her at the front door. Anatolya, surprised by the news, snaps her head back at the May and tells her to tell Hands, a tan butler with brown hair and green eyes, let the knights into the reception room at the same time telling May to help her get dressed into an appropriate outfit to meet the knights.
Anatolya now dressed appropriately confidently walked into the reception room and took a seat on the expensive looking sofa, as the commander and the knights bowed her head towards her.
"What brings the commander of the Blue Sneetch Knights here today?", Anatolya asked, seemingly impatient.
"It is an honor to be in the presence of the head of the Kerkuk family, Viscountess Anatolya. As for what we are here for-", as the commander spoke, she was cut off by Anatolya speaking harshly, "What do you mean 'Head of the Kerkuk Family'? My father, Viscount Mustafa Kerkuk, is the head of the Kerkuk family. Are you insulting my family? You, a commoner, dares?"
"Viscountess, that is what we are here to talk about, and please refrain speaking about me being a commoner, although I may be a commoner, I am the commander of the Blue Sneetch Knights, Olivia, in other words I have higher status than you,". Commander Olivia, a light brown haired women with sharp blue eyes, mentioned venom lacing her voice, she then continued with her normal polite tone, "Viscountess Anatolya, the former Viscount and Viscountess, has been found dead, we were barely able to recognize them after investigating for a few days. They seem to have been attacked by very skilled bandits, as all the guards also were dead, and all possessions stolen. We are currently searching for the bandits and suspect that they are the reason for many other of the noble's deaths".
"...", Anatolya stayed silent as she started to process the words that came from the Knight's mouth. She couldn't believe it, she couldn't believe it at all, that she started to think that it was a lie. But Anatolya could tell that the commander would not lie in a serious situation like this. Anatolya never thought that both her parents would leave the world so early. She was devastated. She quietly sat there, as warm teardrops softly fell on her favorite pastel purple dress.
The room was silent. Anatolya responded with her voice breaking when speaking some words at the same time wiping her tears with a handkerchief, "Excuse me for my impoliteness earlier. I thank you for notifying me of important news, you may now take your leave. The butler, Hands, will escort you out."
"We will now take our leave", the commander and the other knights bowed and followed the butler out.
