You were stun for a second, before quickly re-collecting yourself. "Very well Carsein. You may call me [Y/N] as well. Also if you don't mind would you bring me to your mother's office? I did promise to see her after all."
Carsein smile at the use of his name without the title. "Yeah sure! Come on [Y/N]."

The sound of high heels could be heard as you and Carsein walk down the hallway.
You had changed back to the outfit you were wearing before training and Carsein had changed out of his sweaty clothes.
The silent wasn't awkward it didn't had that tension you would feel like breaking. It was just sweet silent, well at least it was until Carsein decided to break it. "Are you still not gonna tell me exactly why mother ask you to stay back?"
"Hmm...why should I tell you? That is the question." you slyly question Carsein. "Well I mean it's fine if you don't...but why shouldn't you tell me." he fires back a question of his own. You nod twice, "Mhm, mhm." you hum out. "You got a point so I guess I should let you in on this." you say before leaning closer to his side.
"The truth is...your mom is going to tutor me with the house managing." you say with a huge smile. "Huh!?" Carsein cried out loud. "That was it? And here I thought it was something huge like an engagement between you and me or something!" he confessed making you stare at him with wide open mouth, taking in his words before blushing profusely.
"WHAT!? EN-ENGAGEMENT?? HOW COULD I EVER GET ENGAGED TO SOMEONE AS PERFECT AS YO- erk." you stop yourself from completing that sentence. You have never felt the urge to jump off a cliff more than now. The embarrassment that is still lingering in the air as you hear Carsein cough or choke you weren't sure.
"So-someone as perfect as me huh?" Carsein tease after composing himself from your burst of a confession. "Ahaha...are we close to your mothers work office?" you quickly asks unsmoothly changing the subject. "Oh, it should a bit more down the hallway we are quite close." Carsein reply to you.
Unbeknownst to the both of you, or actually you guys just didn't care. The maids that were following about a 7 steps behind had heard everything and is already gossiping about the both of your relationship. Not that you would complain if it ever reaches your ears.
"Sir Carsein and Lady [Y/N] that is a very beautiful pair." one maid whispered.
"I agree! Their chemistry is wonderful considering they have only met today." the other maid whispered.
"That's not true! Didn't they met in the town square a few days ago?" the first maid asks.
"Really!? Then are they perhaps secretly lovers going out to meet each other?" the second maid reasoned.
"Oh my gosh! That would be sooo sweet. A wonderful love story out of a book!" the first maid squeal.
However, unbeknown to the two maids another maid who was passing by heard their little talk and immediately rush back to the maid quarters and announce the little theory she had heard.
And just like that from the two youngsters chat, out came the rumors of them secretly going out. But that particular talk had already reach the ear of the duchess even before Carsein and [Y/N] had enter her office all thanks to her personal maid.
"Sein and Lady [Y/N]? Hmm that would be a great pair don't you think?" The duchess asks her personal maid beside her.
The maid nod and reply. "I agree my lady. The two of them seems to have great chemistry despite meeting each other twice."
The duchess lips slightly twitch upwards, smiling at the thought of [Y/N] and her son together. "I will need to bring up this topic to my husband." She thought to herself.
The duchess had taken a liking to the girl, she had heard great things about the girl from her husband. He describe her to be outgoing, smart, kind. A wonderful match for her son Carsein.
However, her expression slowly turn into a frown as she thought of the family she came from. The Monique family. Her father, the marquess broke their engagement to be with a women her brother, the king love as well.
She didn't truly mind Aristia, the girl was just someone who was caught up in the web for being born on that day and earning a name for herself. Aristia was a nice girl but the duchess couldn't understand why she would be learning the sword instead of learning the ways of the empress.
She could understand [Y/N]'s need of the sword. The girl who is the future marchioness of the Monique house. The next heir to pledge her loyalty to the crown prince and princess. [Y/N] is someone she could see supporting Carsein all the way she could feel it.
It was like something was telling her that letting Carsein and [Y/N] be together is a wonderful choice.
The duchess wince as her head started throbbing in pain.
"Call me mother, [҉Y҉/҉N҉]҉ ."
"What?! I couldn't." The [h/c]-haired girl shakes her head in disagreement. Face flustered and her cheeks were slightly flushed pink.
"Oh course you can. You're Sein's chosen girl after all!" An older looking duchess gush.
"Well then...mother would you like to take a walk in the gardens?" The flustered girl shyly asks.
The throbbing pain left as the duchess hiss. Her mind wondering to that scene she just saw, questions feeling her mind.
Who was that girl? Why did she ask her to call her mother? What is she to her dear son Carsein? The questions were endless for just one small scene that doesn't seem to make sense.
In another place at the same time, stood Azraelle who was looking at her mirror in shock. Touching the mirror gently, caressing it as if it would break with the slightest touch.
"How is this possible? How did the duchess earn the memories of the broken timeline?" Azraelle murmurs looking at the mirror with the duchess every movement.
"It appears that sister of yours has stuck once again...Azraelle." A man from the shadows spoke. His outfit was dark brown with golden linings. The golden light glows from his eyes showing his authority. It was truly a sight to behold.
"Vita..." the god of life mutters, looking up at the sky. "What are you trying to do?"
