Chapyer 1The birth of the prodigy.

It was a clear night sky, no, it was clear than usual. On the clear sky, a star was shining so brightly that it outshined others. Probably it described the life of the kid that was about to be born in the mansion that was below the star.

Uwaaaah ahhhh-hhaaaaaa, a voice was heard soon. All the maids and servants were enjoying this joyous occasion. Celebrating the birth of the sole daughter of the Nox family, that has only birthed males from more than 99 centuries. Even in this joyous occasion all of them just had one worry. That was that they were just waiting for the master's to come back alive from the war quickly and meet his baby girl.

He would be very delighted after seeing her as she is the sole daughter born after total 99 centuries in the Nox family.

The Nox family is a an Archduke family that represents darkness. It is a family that has been there since the foundation of the Alastair empire. They are known for their beautiful indigo eyes and their great amount of mana.

Few days after the baby was born, a letter arrived in the mansion. The letter was a special one as it had the Nox family seal engraved on it.

The madam of the family read the letter but after reading the letter, she ran towards her baby not minding how she looked. She said in a holy voice that seemed like a melody,''
MY DEAR ASTRID, I AM SORRY THAT I HAVE TO LEAVE AND PROBABLY WE WILL NEVER MEET AGAIN".

Then she took out a box in which there was a pendant that was indigo and golden in color. And said "I LOVE YOU".

She said to her baby that was smiling gently to her as if she was telling her mother that she is alright and there is no need for worry.
And told her shadow night to take her daughter away.

After saying that, she wore her armor, went to the ground and ordered all the knights to gather there after then, she read the context of the letter to everyone present there.

DEAR LYNN,

I AM WRITING THIS LETTER TO TELL YOU PLEASE RUN AWAY. THE STATE HERE OF EVERYONE IS DIRE. IF YOU ARE READING THIS LETTER THEN I MUST HAVE DIED. DON'T LOOK FOR ME AND TOLD OUR CHILD THAT I AM VERY SORRY ABOUT LEAVING HER ALONE.

I ONLY HOPE THAT YOU TAKE OUR DAUGHTER AND GO TO A SAFE PLACE. AND PLEASE TELL OUR KNIGHTS TO RETURN TO THE EMPEROR. THEY WILL BE ABLE TO SURVIVE THERE.

AS THE ENEMY WANTS ANYONE THAT HAS ANYTHING RELATED TO OUR FAMILY TO DIE.

HOPE, YOU WILL LISTEN TO ME.

YOUR DEAR HUSBAND,
CASSIUS.

Then she shouted to the knights, what do you think we should do?

All respond in unison, FIGHT, WE WILL FIGHT FOR THE ARCH DUKE, OUR MADAM, THE MADAM'S AND THE ARCHDUKE'S DAUGHTER AND FOR OUR NATION. WE ARE WILLING TO LAY DOWN OUR LIVES.

That's what I wanted to hear, now my dear knights let's go.

Her silky silver hair were tied up and her golden eyes were glimmering with hope and the black Armour she wore was shining. She didn't even drop a single tear for her husband's death but everybody could see her lifeless eyes and if she loses hope then, what is everyone gonna do?

Then, all the knights walked in unison before the madam and walked towards the main gate of the empire and saw that the enemies were seen, that means Cassius really died. And it's too late for the people to fled to save their lives.

But she was not gonna stop there, she pulled out her sword and attacked before her the knights also got prepared for fighting.
Finally, they won the war but at what cost. Everything is destroyed, many people have died, there is nothing but a piece of land that is burning in flames. Even though she was victorious, she was not happy, so she picked out her sword and stabbed herself in the stomach as life is too hard and without him, it's totally impossible.

She feels guilty for leaving her daughter in this dark and greedy world, where people only cares about themselves.

ASTRID, I HOPE YOU LIVE WELL EVEN WITHOUT YOUR HEARTLESS MOTHER WHO LEFT YOU ALL ALONE AND HOPE YOU WILL FIND YOUR OWN HAPPINESS.
MY DEAR BABY.
