"Alright... This is the last time we will be seeing each other like this... You will gradually start recovering my memories... Don't be scared... And also, you are free to do whatever with my body since it's yours know I hope you find someone who lo-."
Sarah wakes up with tears overflowing. *
Currently -
"Good evening dad." said Sarah to the Duke
"Good evening Rubia." said the duke
"May I ask you something about the Westlands....? I have been a bit curious about the situation lately."
"Well, it isn't that confidential but, it is surprising to see you want to know about it, Rubia.."
"I just wanted to know more about the situation of the empire."
"The Westlands have been the major suppliers of food grains and crops which are used to feed the commoners. But, there seems to be a problem with the harvest grounds. That's the reason why the emperor had asked me and a few
A meeting among a few nobles and the emperor takes place the next morning. * "If any of you have suggestions to make to help improve the situation in the Westlands, Raise your hands." said the Emperor, Aelius The Duke of House Charleston raises his hand. * "Go ahead Duke." "I suggest that we plant more trees." "Plant trees...?" The nobles gathered all have a look of shock. * "That is right. I suggest we plant more trees since, trees may be able to protect the land by accumulating rainwater underground which is a solution to the problem of the dry Westlands. And, there are a few more benefits involved in growing trees, Your Majesty." "What are these other benefits you speak of...?" asked The Emperor in a curious manner "They are minor benefits, Your Majesty. Trees help clean the air and also provide shelter to the various animal species in our Empi
Current situation - Lady Rubia and Baroness Joann are exchanging formal greetings. * "Good morning, Teacher Joann." said Sarah with a smile on her face. "Good morning to you as well, Young Lady Rubia. Have you been well since the last incident...?" asked Baroness Joann "I apologize if I caused you any worry, Teacher. " "It's quite alright young lady." Baroness Joann's POV- I had heard that the young lady of the Charleston house had changed but, I did not expect that she had changed this much. During the past whenever I had lessons with the young lady not only did she not pays attention but, she also dared to sleep during my classes. But, the eyes of the young lady right now have a will to learn. I believe this is the reason why Henry (the duke) (One of the previous students of Baroness Joann) had put down his pride to ask me to observe her before making t
Previously - "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
