Prologue: The Crimson General and the Crown Princess.
Crimson Red.
...
It was the color of her hair and eyes.
...
"Red haired freak!"
"Hey Rowan! Why don't you go back to where you came from?!"
"Hahaha! She's here again! Ugly Rowan should just shoo!"
The bastard daughter of the Duke.
"..."
With her fiery red hair, she had no escape of teasing from the other children of nobility.Rowan Bonheur, not being allowed to take on a noble name by tradition for being a bastard's daughter, was never fully recovered as a blooded noble. Thus she was endlessly teased for when they were children, this made her tolerant and patient of all the horrible and hurtful things they've said.
...
Social parties, an event that has been hosted by their father- a high ranked Duke in the kingdom that manages the treasury has invited everyone to attend her daughter's birthday party.
The lights, decoration, and food were all exquisite- that is to be expected for a family high ranked in nobility. Every noble was clapping their hands as the birthday girl descended on the stairs of the mansion.
"Music-!" The musicians played the violin, cello and piano as she descended. Beautiful blonde hair by her waist, a young maiden being eyed by the noblemen hoping they could take her hand in marriage.
"Oh Lady Aveline the belle of the ball!"
"Happy birthday, Aveline!"
"Truly you're becoming beautiful as the days go by!"
"Oh-! You must meet my son, you two would make such a perfect match. You've just turned sixteen, haven't you?"
Aveline Voclain, the daughter of the noble family lineage filled with beauties known to have long blonde beautiful hair and blue eyes. She was like the perfect daughter that everyone admires.
Aveline who hears the compliments starts to nod in response, thanking them for such compliments but she wasn't happy.
"Thank you, thank you. You're all too kind." She chuckles looking around trying to find a certain red-haired girl.
"Though... I am not the only one with a birthday today." (Aveline) tries finding her half-sister that she considered a twin. "It is also my sister's birthday today. I would appreciate it if you could greet her a happy birthday too if you ever see her."
Aveline requested for the guests in front of her to also be minded by her little sister's birthday. Everyone had bought her gifts, but that made her feel heavy and guilty because all of those gifts had the card written with, 'To: Aveline Voclain'.
And none to Rowan.
The guests looked at each other and nervously smiled, they knew who Lady Aveline's half-sibling was, the gossip was already around the nobles of circles in the kingdom. That the Duke of Voclain had another daughter, but it was from a lowly maid.
"Of course, Lady Aveline. If we ever see... here we would do as you please."
"Aveline, you really care a lot towards your half-sister huh?"
Aveline blinked in surprise, she had never once thought of Rowena as merely 'half-sister'. She is just her sister and nothing else. How hard is that to say?
"Yes, I care a lot for my sister." Aveline smiles forcefully and looks around the party trying to find her again but it was all for naught because she wasn't anywhere to be found. "H-Has any of you actually seen my sister?"
