Violet's POV

I wake up with a smile as I allow the maids to dress me up in a yellow dress before I go to meet my father at his study.

"Come in" the Duke Charlton says as I roll my eyes.

I enter and my eyes are blinded by the sheer amount of gemstones decorating his study and I feel like giving him a hard knock since he put this same style over the villa.

"I want to visit my grandparents" I say bluntly as he smiles.

"Great come back with lots of gemstones for father okay and I'll get you lots of dresses" the Duke says making me literally feel like giving him a hard knock on his head.

"Sure father" I leave him to his stupid fantasies and go and get mum that is packing her things.

"Mum leave it We'll get new ones at our new home and I'm sure grandma will be excited to see us" I say with a smile.

I notice mother's smile stiffen and her eyes fill with tears as she takes me to my room and show me a letter.

[To our beloved granddaughter] written with the embroidery of flowers on the sides reminding me of how grandma use to send them to me when I was little.

I open it up with precaution since mother was acting weird and I didn't have a good feeling.

[We are sorry to say this but we will soon die in a few minutes and we wanted you to know that we love you so much and we hope you will consider to carry on our family name of Minto.
We also left all our businesses to you with instruction to that damn uncle of yours to help you with anything you need, your mother will return to her former title of princess and you will be considered the next heir If that foolish son of ours doesn't get married.
We are truly sorry for allowing you and your mother to suffer so much sweetie so please accept our compensations and the man we chose for you. We were worried that you'll behave like your mother in picking a greedy man to marry so we picked someone from the Luccombe family for you to marry the engagement can be annulled whenever you wish sweetie just please don't make a costly mistake again
We love you Violet]

Drip.

Drip..

Drip...

My tears start flowing down my cheeks as I finish reading the letter, my beloved grandparents died a few weeks ago and I never cared in my past life but now that I know I feel like going to the past and choking myself for being stupid.

"It's okay honey, just take deep breaths and then everything will be alright" mother says while hugging me and rubbing my head in comfort.

Her sweet blueberry scent makes my heart feel warm as I try to stop crying.

"We need to go now sweetie your uncle will be waiting for us at the villa" Mother says and I nod.

I clean my tears and follow her out of the Duke Charlton villa and we enter into a silver carriage with the Royal emblem of the Minto Royal family of Denbighshire.

We start the journey as I feel complicated since in my first life I never took this route so it's all new to me but my goal is the same.

I must be able to raise my mother's family to rival Teresa and her mother princess Caroline of the Harrogate kingdom so now that means making the Denbighshire kingdom better than them in all aspects and I'll do that no matter if I'm the ruler or not.

I fall asleep on mother's lap as I enter a dream land that resembles a waterfall lake but shockingly the plants there are musical as the animals are made of all the elements.

I walk towards the lake and see a fairy with multicoloured wings and wearing dance shoes that is dancing gracefully on the surface beckoning to me to come with a provoking smile.

I see it's movement and gather only one thought 'you have to beat me to get my blessings'.

I smirk and touch the pond with my toes as my dress turns into a pure white ballet dress matching with the fairy's dress.

A battle song starts playing as I remember the song from Ballerina a popular music cartoon as I realise the challenge.

The fairy gives me a slight nod in agreement to my thoughts as I give a similar confident smile to it 'this is going to be fun'.

I watch her moves carefully and when she stops I repeating without missing a beat then she continues and I join her as we dance for a long time till she does a pirouette in the sky and stand on the beak of a wind element bird that propels her higher before she does an upside down 360⁰ split in the air and after doing several pirouettes in the air she lands on her toes as I notice a trace of dizziness in her eyes.

I follow the beat of the song and jump in the air as I notice a sneer appear on her face as a fire element eagle shoots a powerful attack.

I do a sideways 360⁰ split as I create a wind barrier around me as a fire elemental phoenix appears under me as I use it to propel myself In the air as an ice element attacks me but I follow my instincts to the music in my heart and do a backward flip that propels the attack to freeze the other dangers as I complete the dance step learning how to defend myself mid air and on land by using her steps that she taught me against her.
