"May the holy lord, show the duke the path and he pass on to the other side comfortably without any worries."

Everyone were in black clothes mourning, in middle laid a coffin in which the duke's body laid.

The young lady of the ducal family of glacera, stood in a corner wearing no expression at all, she had a black gown and a lace veil covering half of her face. Indeed it was true that she looked nothing more than a puppet.

Her hairs were white as snowflakes and her eyes resembled jewels, maybe blue diamond. She had red rosy lips and chubby cheeks, almost like a doll isn't it? But that doll had blood covered dress.

"Lady y/n, it is indeed a great loss. The duke was a intelligent and wise man. The empire will not be able to recover this loss." The countess mourned but... why did the young lady smiled?

"Countess, the person who's time is up has to go anyway. We cannot stop it even if we want to." The ducal lady said and bowed.

"Look at her.. it seems as if she don't even care."

"Such a pity that duke raised such a daughter. She is nothing more than a expressionless pretty face."

"Well what can be expected from duchy of glacera anyways. Being ruthless and cold is in their blood."

She looked at her father's death body laying down in the coffin and took a Lily flower from the corner. She walked towards him and bent down to whisper something in his ears and placed the flower in his hand.

"Thank you for raising me like this father. May you have a good time wherever you go." She smirked under her lace veil. "And thank you for leaving behind this fortune, only for me.." she whispered.

Her butler came to her and whispered something in her ears. "My lady, the thing you ordered has arrived." "Excellent job." She took off her sapphire ring and gave it to the butler. "This is your reward." With that she walked out of the chruch.

"Enough of this drama." As soon as she was out, she threw away her veil. Soon her men jumped down from their hidings to gave her reports. "You all did a excellent job." She praised them as she entered inside her mansion.

As soon as she entered there were like 4 maids that helped her took off her things. One took off her coat, one took off her gloves while others did other thing.

"Prepare the bath quick." As soon as she went inside her room everything was ready already. The doors opened before her by the maids as she entered the bathroom.

In front of her was a pool like bathtub filled with blood. The maids quickly took off her robe as she stepped inside. She closed her eyes as she let her whole body sink in that hot blood.

It felt like her heart that was freezing from her powers was melting down, her every muscles were in ease there. She relaxed a bit before getting up. And just like the maids quickly get her dressed up. Maybe it was the perks of being rich or because they feared her?

Why you ask? Because once she froze a servant's leg who was late to serve her tea...

"Get out." She ordered, her voice cold and low. The maids nodded as they rushed out of the room not trying to risk their lives.

She just let her body fall on her bed as she stared at the ceiling. Soon a psychopathic smile plastered on her face. She chuckled a bit which slowly turned into a strange and scary laugh. Anyone who would see her like this would say she was mentally ill.

"Monster. Expressionless.. puppet." She laughed while recalling the comments she always got. She suddenly stopped laughing. "Indeed i am." She got up and walked out of the room in the balcony.

There was a big garden in front of her eyes. "Look at those flower... don't they look so obedient and gentle?" She seemed to be talking to herself.

"They said a lady should be like a flower, obedient and gentle." She smiled as she touched a flower pot decoration of her balcony which slowly turned cold and withered away.

"A obedient lady would bow down, smile and follow your damned world and in the end. Die quietly without protesting." She said playing with the dead flower.

"But i will be the fire that will flourish by time and burn you all down." She closed her fist and the the withered flower turned into dust and flew away from her hand when she blew it.

"I waited years.. years and years so i can get this position.." she went inside where a cape was set on display. It was the duke's cape and now she held the authority of it. She went towards it and caress the fur gently. "I waited so eagerly for this.." she smirked. "But.. i want more than this.." she turned towards the table where a crown laid.

"I want the authority... higher than anyone else.." she put that crown on her head and looked at the mirror, full of pride. "I will prove each one of those who think of a lady as nothing more than a flower wrong." She closed her eyes. She just threw herself back on the bed.

"I will... accomplish my dream" she raised her hands up towards the ceiling as if she was trying to catch the stars.

But little does she know her fate was actually going to make things interesting for her than it already was?
