"Good night young lady...!" said Sandra and Mary as they bowed.
"Good night to you as well Sandra, Mary." said Sarah
Sarah's Pov -
I was only hoping on getting the attention of nobles but, after the suggestion I had made there is without a doubt a thought in the emperor’s mind.
He must be quite curious for him to keep his own royal knights around me... How annoying... I have yet another obstacle...
Currently -
That night Sarah has a dream of one of the memories of Rubia before she died. *
Sarah's Pov -
Why the hell do I keep having such dreams. Though the memories of Rubia are helpful at times... It feels like hell whenever I wake up from the dreams.
*The next morning, A letter addressed to Rubia arrives at the Charleston Duchy. *
"Young Miss, you have a letter." said Gerome (the Butler)
"Oh... W
Previously - "So, I've finally reached the second step huh." said Sarah in a low voice "Did you say something just now miss...?" asked Tristan "No... I did not, Tristan." "I see." Sarah's Pov - Damn, I was almost caught...! I have to be more careful... Currently- "We have arrived, Young Lady." Said Tristan as he offered his hand to assist Rubia in getting down from the carriage. "Thank you, Tristan." Said Rubia as she took Tristan's hand. Rubia's Pov - That was the first time I rode in a carriage. Anyways, that's not what's important right now. I went through my plan last night and I've got to admit... I'm quite excited... Meanwhile, at the House of Arden. * "The young lady of House Charleston has arrived miss." said one of the maids to Odelia. "She actually came...?" Said, Ode
Previously - "Before you teach me how I should manage my fiancé, I feel you should learn to know how to manage your own. Dear 'Miss' Odelia." said Sarah with a grin on her face "What...?!! How did you...!?" Said Odelia as she trembled. Sarah once again ignores Odelia and leaves. * Currently - "Lady Rubia…!" exclaimed Margaret as she followed Sarah "Huh...? Lady Margaret, are you alright...?!" asked Sarah with a worried tone. "Yes, I'm fine, but I just wanted to know if you and I could be friends...?" "I would love to be friends, Lady Margaret." "I am glad Lady Rubia…!" "Ha-ha... Thank you, well I do hope we meet soon." "Yes...! Goodbye." Margaret's POV - I finally have a friend...! If Mother were alive, she would be more than glad...! Sarah's POV - A friend... One of the things that I never had in my previ
Previously - A meal with the emperor... This is a good chance to let the emperor know that, I'm not the same as before, but there is also a chance that Fredrick will be there after the graduation. If I do meet Fredrick, I'll just show my respect and ignore him... That's the best way to not draw any unnecessary attention. Currently - The Duke and the Duchess attend the graduation ceremony. * Sarah's Pov - I feel bad that I can't attend brother Louis's graduation. (Only parents or guardians were to attend), but it is a bit fortunate that I do not have to encounter the prince. During the Graduation ceremony. * "You've finally graduated huh...?!" said the duke as he offered his arms to Louis. "Mom...! Oh, how I missed you...! How is My Dear sis Rubia doing...?!" said Louis as he ignored his father and hugged his mother "I'm here as well here you kno
Previously - In no way can I miss the meal with the emperor because... If I do not show up even after the Duke took pains to postpone it... Charleston would be seen as an arrogant house that dares to refuse the Emperor's invitations. And, If I were to give an excuse it will be as if I am admitting to the emperor's suspicion of me. Currently - Two days before the meal with the Emperor. * Sarah's Pov- It's been over a month. The only thought in my head is how I can help in achieving a happy ending for Rubia. And all I have to say is... Life is hard as an aristocrat. I mean every single day I have to put up a fake smile in front of those disgusting nobles. I wish I had a vacation. And that is why I've decided that today... I will visit a Library...! That's right...! A library...! Right now, what I need most is a vacation of some sort. Which is why I decided to take a break
The carriage arrives at the Royal Library* Rubia's POV- Woah...!! I remember that the library that I used to visit (My college’s library) was just a large room with barely any 'Drama' or 'Romance' genre novels (which is kind of obvious because it was a college library) but damn...! The library before my eyes seemed almost as huge as the Duchy (and trust me when I say this, the Duchy is HUGE...!) "Brother have I ever visited the Royal Library before...?" "Well, you weren't the type that was all that interested in books so this may be your first time coming here lil sis" "Your brutally honest brother" "Am I...?!" Louis said with a smile The above conversation is one that the siblings have before getting down from the carriage* Louis and Rubia accompanied with some Royal knights enter the Royal Library* "I Welcome young Master and Young Lady from t
Gerome enters the room in which Rubia is currently in with a bunch of letters* Rubia is currently in her study going through the lessons Baroness Joann taught her regarding the etiquette to be followed during the Royal Ball. * "These were all the letters addressed to you Young Lady." "Ah...! Thank you, Gerome. You may put it by the table." "Yes." They came again huh...?! After the tea party with Odelia I have been getting invitations from a lot of people whom I am unfamiliar with.... Plus, the hosts are people whom I've never actually met or conversed with so, it is reasonable to assume that they invited me out of formality... Rubia discovers a letter from Lady Margaret* It's an invitation to a private tea party huh...? Alright I'm going to attend this one for sure... Thank God that it is a tea party with only us... I haven't gotten the chance to contact Margaret ever since my broth
The day that the Charleston house joins the emperor for a meal arrives. *The Duke and Duchess ride on the first carriage with Louis and Rubia following them in another carriage. *"Are you nervous Lil sis...?" said Louis"Ha-ha... I'm alright brother Louis." said Rubia with a fake smileRubia's POV -Obviously, I'm not alright. I mean it’s not just anyone that we are on our way to meet... It's the Emperor...!I've already prepared myself by studying the etiquette to be followed while eating and conversing but that's not enough... Hopefully he doesn't ask me anything much... I mean he’s just an old man so there won’t be any problems right...?Meanwhile, at the Palace*"Your majesty...Will your son the crown prince be attending as well...?" said the head mage to the emperor"I've already asked of him to come...And why the sudden formal
Frederick's POV – My name is Fredrick Nicholson Lloyd Kennedy. My Mother's name was Vanessa...I don't know much about her but she was a woman that I detested. Mainly because she thought of me as nothing but a tool to get closer to my father, The Emperor. I never had a decent conversation with her but I knew from her actions that she did not think of me as anything more than a tool... The palace naturally felt as a prison for me. My Father was the Emperor of the Kennedy Empire. He was not someone who displayed affection in front of me but I don't think I ever disliked him... My mother had passed away when I was 4 years old. And ever since her death I've changed. I always hid my feelings because I came to believe that no matter how much I cry, no matter how much I plead, I am aware that I will never get affection. Since the Emperor only had me as an heir... I received the title Crown
