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
"Hic....waaah...!" (Sounds of someone crying)Sarah's POV -What the hell? Is this another memory...!?"Why are you crying...?" Sarah's POV -This boy looks just like Frederick... He's got the dark black hair and ocean blue eyes...!!Is this the memory of how she first met Frederick...!? I wish I had popcorn with me right now."I wasn't feeling well." said Rubia"Do you feel any better now?" said Fredrick as he placed his hand on her forehead"Huh...!? For some reason I feel a lot more... refreshed...?""Your body is really weak I helped out for now but in the future, you have to make sure not to build up your fatigue.""What's a fatigue?""It basically means that you lack energy... Anyways I've wasted enough time here. So, I should get going.""Wait... May I ask for your name...?""I'm Fredrick Nicholson Lloyd Kennedy."

In my previous life I was treated almost as if I was invisible but the situation has changed and all eyes are upon me...I really don't want to mess up because this is my big chance to show the nobles that I'm no longer the Lady the nobles can treat as a pushover..."Are you nervous...?" said Louis"I'm fine... anyways it seems your needed Louis." Said Rubia as she spared a glance at the other heirs from Noble Families."Right...It seems you have someone who's eagerly waiting for you as well Lil sis...""Huh...?"She turns back to find Margaret smiling at her. *"I’
FOUR DAYS AFTER THE BALL. *Sarah’s Pov –Hngh... I'm tired.But I'm sure of the fact that I have almost completed the goal of changing the nobles view of me...And I got to witness the beauty of the towns. Though that was most probably because of Fredrick…Anyways, now that most of the events are complete all that's left… is to make up to Margaret for leaving her alone at the party…I mean those annoying nobles hadn't left me a chance to talk to her... And I had to wait till the meeting with the emperor to excuse myself...The conversation between nobles were quite confusing to begin with because they’d often make comments that have a double meaning in them. It was thanks to Baroness Joann that I was able to master the art of speech. If I hadn’t learnt all that… I’d probably be publicly humiliated among the Aristocratic circles for being an idiot&he
The day Rubia and Mathew meet arrives. *Sarah’s Pov -I really don't want to go out that often but I guess this is just unavoidable... And the maids have been hyped since the morning... I guess they must really enjoy dressing me up.I hadn't really thought much about it but Rubia (Whose body I'm in) is really beautiful I mean I get why all the men in the Ballroom stared at me when I entered.The real Rubia wore dark colours that didn't suit her but I felt light coloured clothes felt better on her which is why ever since my second Life started, I made sure to throw the dark clothes and replace it with light coloured ones.And as I thought it suits her much better...!"My Lady, which dress do you wish to wear...!?""Hmm... What'd you guys think...?""Well-..."After Rubia is dressed she is accompanied by the knights to House Leonne. *"Lord Mathew, Lady

My mother had passed away during my birth because of her weak constitution and my father was worst hit by her death. When I was six years old my father had brought a new wife. I hadn't said anything because I knew the loneliness inside of him... My stepmother was not in the least bit interested in me but she hated me. because I was a child with legitimate blood whereas her son was the one, she had with her previous husband. I tried my best to get along with my step brother and my step mother but it was futile because only one who has the blood of Leonne can be the next head... As far as I can remember...I was harassed by my stepmother almost every day without my
All of us in the room were in a shock especially Louis who was reckless enough to suggest going alone to find her...When I heard of her kidnapping, I instantly got a bad feeling...The first thought on my head was the possibility of the kidnappers being sent by stepmother... a wave of guilt rushed down on me...Yet another precious person was suffering because of me...The Charleston house, the House of Leonne and the Royal Family had sent people to search for Rubia who was kidnapped...She was found unconscious after 2 days at an abandoned site somewhere outside the Empire. She had a few scars on her body and she regained her consciousness after testing for a day.Since it was my fault, she was in that situation I asked the duke to allow me to remain by her side.Once she woke the first thing, she did was to curl up in her parent’s arms and then she called me to her side. I was a bit surprised that she called me and not Louis or Fredr
