"My dear child--"
"Am I hearing things? Wait- where am I??"
"Do not fret my dear, it is I, the person who has watched over you, the person who holds the Universe in my hands"
"Why am I here-
what does this have with you?!"
"You were born with every...
My 8th Birthday was almost upcoming which made me nervous because of the sight I saw of what happened in the past. As I remember, the murder happened three months after my birthday, I am physically prepared, I can control my powers, but I still cannot get rid of the fear that wriggled around me. Mother handled the management of my party to the bottom to the top, invitations were handed over to other noble houses. I could get the opportunity to grow connections to other Aristocats and nobles if they could be present at the party.
It was the day of the party, I could see carriages outside and nobles coming inside the banquet. Even in my past life, I had good etiquette and manners, so I thought of using it and impressing them to get a good glimpse of what they where like as I couldn't explore the empire in my past life. They started handing my gifts and I could see a bunch of them. I can see my father being crowded over by other aristocrats for he was an honorable and respectful man, he was also the best father. Everybody started to wish me a happy birthday then I saw her, Aunt Childea. How could I be so stupid! Of course, Mother would invite her because she is her sister.
Aunt Childea once told me in my past life that my mother was a slut as she stole my Father away from her and called me a mistake and shouldn't have happened. But it was never my fault nor Mother's, Father never was never Aunt Childea's, to begin with. But it seems to me, the reason for the murder was because of her greed that she couldn't have father, if she couldn't have him then no one shall ever have him. So she decided to kill my parents, she knew that I had the rights for the title as Countess and used me to get it.
After reminiscing the past, Mother greeted Aunt Childea- wait! Why should I call that woman Aunt for what she has done to me like- Let's just call her "the Snitch". Anyway everyone dined at the table with me in the corner of attention, everybody started to talk about politics after eating then I excused myself out of the dining hall to go to the garden.
The scent of roses always made me calm, a beautiful flower with a thorny body. Hmph, I could clearly see myself in this flower, once it is picked out of its bush, later on, it will just wither away. I sat on the bench with the view of roses in front of me which the light would hit from the glass from above. It was peaceful, very peaceful. I closed my eyes while inhaling the sweet scent of roses until I heard some footsteps of a child.
I was quickly on my guard and jumped out of the bench, then I saw him. I could see a child much of the very same age as me but taller in height. He had the most beautiful blonde hair I have ever seen in the empire, he had blood-red eyes which made me think about his identity. It was in the Emperor's bloodline that the family members would inherit, red eyes, which when you look at that it would like they could kill you straight by just looking at it. I remember being told that Emperor's bloodline could use mana and each and everyone has their own unique color.
But it might just be a coincidence, right? How could I jump to conclusions, the boy went up to me " Oh I apologize for interrupting the Lady's time" he said in a smooth voice. "I don't mind" I replied. He greeted me a Happy birthday then turned around and walked out. " Hey!" I shouted, then he turned around, " What's your name?", he took small steps towards me and went closer to me " You can just call me Arthur, My Lady". He turned around then left the garden with me-
I don't freaking know why, but I started to blush. I mean like, how could not anyone blush when someone as gorgeous as him went clearly close up to me and then calls you " My Lady". After being fussed about it, I used my powers to pick out a rose, it floated up to me. I could see its thorns, its petals. I took a sniff of it and carefully removed the thorns with my powers. After that, I held the rose in my hand then went back to the banquet.
