 Precisely 21 October 1934, a day before Marial's birthday. Marial was strolling down her family's summer palace gardens when suddenly her pearl earring dropped, then blood dripped from her finger, drip by drip as she stared blankly at her finger.

"Mary? Where are you darling?", it was her mother, Grand Duchess Cheryl or the Heiress of their empire,

 "Here at the gardens mum.." Maria replied still staring at her finger.

 "Maria. Maldorra. Aldrefeld. Good heavens are you doing! Do make haste to the infirmary, right away!",

"Alright mum..." as Marial's maid walked her to the infirmary she suddenly fainted midway, blacked out.

When she woke up she was in her room, 22 October 1932, 2 years back. Currently Marial seems to be 14 years old, she had her birthday in the summer palace with her relatives and friends, but when she woke up the first thing she saw was Gabrielle, her elder twin sister. Gabrielle never saw reason why they as sisters should support each other, Gabrielle had always been independent. Viewing their differences as a divide rather than a bond. Marial had always been sensitive and introspective, Marial is a very social, cheery, optimistic lady, she is also quite heavily attuned to other people's opinions and emotions of others around her. As opposed to Gabrielle who is strong-willed, confident, and resourceful, making her push away  the very empathy that defined who her sister is.

"Happy Birthday. Marial." Gabrielle said coldly.
