"Caia, you won't like these things however. You even have not awakened your abilities yet."
Naningkit ang mga mata ng pitong taong gulang na si Caia sa kanyang Kuya Casein. Ang kapatid na lang ang malalapitan niya nang hindi agad malalaman ng mga magulang nila ang balak niyang gagawin. Unfortunately, all their servants, and friends are too loyal to their parents.
Paniguradong isang araw pa lang ay malalaman na agad nila ang kanyang mga binabalak.
'Should I act?' isip niya.
Most of her age use their doe-like eyes to make anyone succumb to their likings. Nevertheless it would not work for her brother. They know each other very well.
'Think, think, think, Caia!' she said to herself.
Napakrus tuloy ang mga braso ni Casein sa kanyang dibdib. Nag-iisip na naman ng palusot ang kanyang kapatid.
"Where did he got that attitude?" bulong niya sa sarili.
Then a certain memory entered his mind.
"Casein, be careful of your actions. She's already mimicking you," her mother warned.
Napaubo siya ng peke dahil doon at patuloy na itinanggi sa isip na sa kanya iyon nakuha ng kapatid. Magkaiba sila, mas masunurin siya, paniwala ni Casein sa kanyang isipan.
"Brother you better teach me how to fight, else one day you'll find me just like Aunt Addie was," Caia uttered.
Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Casein.
She got a knife in her hand and pointed it at her neck. Masyado kasing malalim ang iniisip ng kanyang Kuya Casein kaya hindi nito napansing nakuha niya ang kutsilyo sa isang tabi.
'Hmp! He should have expected it. We're on the training grounds anyway,' she thought.
Then, guilt went over her when she saw the look on his face. He's mortified and gone were his crossed arms as he quickly took the knife out of her. She tried to fight back but as she's inexperienced, and didn't want to hurt him out of accident, she lost.
"What are you even thinking?!" he shouted.
He's hastening his breath as if he just finished fighting a frightening enemy.
Even then, she didn't even flinch and looked at him with her cold eyes. The golden color of her eyes on the other also showed up.
"I have to protect myself. I have to learn as early as I can," she answered.
Her calmness also calmed Casein. She knew he didn't mean to shout at her.
May mga bagay nga lamang na hindi nila maiintindihan. Tumakbo palabas ng traning grounds ng palasyo ng mga Ivanov si Caia at pumunta sa kanyang kwarto.
They are currently in their clan's castle as a vacation. Wala ang mga magulang nila kaya ito na lang ang nahanap niyang paraan.
Nagkulong siya sa kanyang kwarto at umabot ng ilang linggo. Walang umabala sa kanya, malamang ay si Casein na ang nagpaliwanag. Kahit na ganito naman ang nangyari, hindi nagtalukbong lamang si Caia sa kanyang kwarto.
Sa loob ng mga araw na iyon ay mag-isang nag-ensayo si Caia. It's her plan B. Without them knowing, the decorative swords she bought is practice weapon in disguise. Its weight is the same as a normal one albeit the blades are blunt.
Hindi naman iyon problema sa kanya. Her practice is to learn how to swing and balance her body first, so a blunt blade is just as fine.
With that weapon and some swordsman books she secretly took on their library, she began practicing on her own. Her family is a house of geniuses, and their blood is running on her veins. It's the only thing she's betting on that she can learn swordsmanship on her own.
