In the world where social hierarchy exists, there’s an 8 year old girl who lives in an orphanage and works for money. She has golden hair, and rainbowed eyes. Her eyes can change depending on how she feels. If she’s angry, her eyes will turn to red, if she’s sad, her eyes will turn to blue, but her normal eye colour is golden brown.
“Clementine!” the head of the orphanage shouted to her. She quickly runs towards the room next to her, then asks the head.
“How may I be of help to you, my lady?” she asked, while looking at the floor. The headmaster of the orphanage’s name is Baroness Christie Blair of the Blair Family. She’s married to the Baron of Blair, who’s close to the 3rd son of the late Emperor, Emperor Julius.
“Did you really clean this room?!” she asked Clementine.
“I did, lady Christie,” she replied.
“Clean this room again, and if I saw another speck of dust in here, you will receive another punishment, understand?” the Baroness shouted as she threw the rag on Clementine’s face, then left the room.
“I understand, my lady,” she replied as her eyes changed into a mix of blue and red. She felt sad because her life will still be the same as she grows older, but she’s also angry because the Baroness did not care about the children in the orphanage and used the money that the Grand Duke of Whistleton has been sending to support the orphanage in his territory.
Grand Duke of Whistleton is the Duke who rules over the northern part of the empire. It is a cold land where they experience the long term winter season and short term summer season. The Grand Duke is also the knight of the current Emperor, Emperor Clyde Westernia, who had 2 childrens, Prince Noah Westernia and Prince Benjamin Westernia.
Clementine left the room as it was already cleaned in the first place. There is no dust that can be seen there and there’s no dust to sniff. Her eyes came back to its golden brown colour.
“Clementine, where are you going?” one of the children in the orphanage asked her as she was seen heading towards the gate of the orphanage.
“I’m going to buy a few things,” she replied.
“But we are not allowed to go outside,” her friend said.
“Don’t worry, I’m just going to find a few things,” Clementine replied while smiling.
“But if the headmaster caught you, she’ll punish you again,” her friend worriedly said. Clementine held her hand, then smiled warmly at her.
“I’m already used to it, so please don’t mind me and do your job or else you would be punished,” Clementine said.
“Okay, but please be back before the madam comes back,” she said. Clementine nodded, then waved her goodbye.
Clementine walked in the snowy weather of the north and walked through the alleyway a few metres away from the centre fountain. She looked around before knocking 3 times at the door. It opened, then revealed a big man with a strong aura and physical body.
“Who are you?” the man asked, but instead of answering him, she just walked past him and entered the door.
“I asked who you are?” the man asked as he grabbed Clementine’s left shoulder.
“Hey old man… I think your subordinate wanted to die today,” Clementine calmly said while looking at the man on the counter of a pub.
“Release her,” the man on the counter said.
“But she entered this pub even though she’s just a kid,” the man replied.
“Release her or else I will slice your neck,” the red haired man said while he’s pointing his dagger on the man holding Clementine’s arm while riding it’s back. The man who’s holding Clementine’s arm awhile ago, let her go.
“Dash, lower your dagger,” I said.
“Hey Queen, long time no see,” Dash replied as he hopped down and hid his dagger.
“Did I not mention that you shouldn’t just raise your weapon to our subordinate and be reasonable, Dash” she said while looking at him emotionlessly, then walked towards the man at the pub’s counter.
“I will go upstairs and I will listen to your report, Pi,” she said to the man at the counter of the pub.
“Yes, Queen,” he replied, then Clementine and Dash went towards the office upstairs. Clementine sat on the working table of the office while Dash stood next to her like a little knight.
Dash and Clementine are of the same age and they were friends together with Wolf. They met when they were 3 years old. At that time, Clementine was just roaming around the village of the northern territory, and met the two, Dash and Wolf who were kidnapped for some ransom. She uses her power unknowingly and saves the 2 and from then on forward, they become friends.
“Where’s Wolf?” she asked as she looked at the documents on the table.
“He’s currently taking the last mission that you sent,” he replied as Clementine sealed the paper.
“I did not send him to any mission as he still can’t control his power,” Clementine said.
Dash was about to speak, but someone knocked at the door. Dash walked towards the door and took a little peek at the door before closing it again.
“It’s Pi, should I let him in?” Dash asked Clementine.
“Let him in,” she replied, then Dash opened the door and Pi came in.
“Greeting to you, Queen,” he greeted her as he bowed down.
“No need to bow down on me, but what are you going to report?” she asked.
“The Grand Duke of Whistleton requests our guild to investigate the orphanage that you’re in,” he said and that made Clementine stop her from what she’s doing.
“When did he request such a thing?” she asked.
“He sent it through letters, the letter is on your second drawer to the right,” Clementine opened the drawer and read the contents of it.
“He’s not just requesting to investigate the orphanage, but also to meet the master of this guild,” she said, then gave the paper to Dash to burn the paper.
“But those who are working for us only told me that I am the master, why would he suspect that I am not the master?” Pi said.
“I don’t know… Dash, investigate it thoroughly… you have the position that we need here to find his motives… I hope for your kind cooperation and Pi, send someone to follow Wolf… it’s still not yet his time for such a dangerous mission, you know that he can’t fully control his power yet,” Clementine ordered.
“I will, queen,” he replied. Clementine stood up.
“Where are you going?” Pi asked.
“To the orphanage,” she casually replied.
“Why don’t you leave that place and stay here in our hide-out?” Dash asked.
“I will… the day after tomorrow,” she replied, then exited the pub.
While she’s walking in the alleyway, she feels that someone is following her, that’s why she took another turn and tried to lose that someone who’s following her. She jumped on the roof, then she saw the one who’s following her. She jumped down and almost knocked the man out. She’s holding a dagger while pointing it towards the person in a cloak.
“Who are you? Who sent you here?” she asked, but instead of answering her, she was just thrown to the ground and the man used a small cloth to cover her mouth and nose, then Clementine lost consciousness.
“Where do you think you’re planning to go with our boss?” Dash asked the cloaked man. The cloaked man jumped off the roof without answering Dash’s question. Dash sent an emergency signal to Pi through the use of their guild’s bird, then Dash followed the cloaked man. As he followed him, the cloaked man jumped off the roof to the ground, but when Dash followed him, they were gone already.
“Who’s that person and what’s his motives?” Dash asked himself, then went back to their guild. When he got back, he met Pi who was about to get out and search for Clementine.
“Who kidnapped our boss?!” Pi asked Dash.
“I wasn’t able to see his face because it’s being covered by the cloak’s hood, but his sword’s crest is familiar,” Dash replied while thinking of the crest.
“Only the noble knights can use a sword with a crest,” Pi said.
“I know, but the question is, who kidnapped Clementine, what’s their motives and how did they know that she’s the real master of our guild?” Dash expressed.
“Everyone, find the boss at all cost, we will wait for everyone’s news in finding her until we get some information on who kidnapped her,” Dash ordered their subordinate.
“I will take charge of the guild until we find her… I hope that she will be fine,” Dash said. Even though he’s speaking firmly, he’s still worried about her friend.
“Pi, contact Wolf and tell him to come back, but do not inform him of what happened here or he will lose control over his power,” Dash ordered.
“Right away,” Pi replied, then started to prepare for an audience with Wolf.
It’s already been 3 years since Clementine, our boss, disappeared. Luckily, Dash did not abandon us and he’s taking over her position, but he and Wolf had changed over those past 3 years. I understand them because their friend was kidnapped.By the way, you can call me Pi, as in the mathematical symbol of 𝝅. I am currently 30 years old and I’ve been Clementine’s assistant since she started to work here. She was able to become our boss because I felt great power coming from her. I am the previous head of our guild, but I pass it on to her because she deserves that position that she’s longing for when we first met.I knocked on the door of Clementine’s office, then entered the room.“Dash, we have just received a report from the Grand Duke of Whistleton to gather more evidence about the orphanage that the Baroness of Blaire has been running for 9 years, and he will wait for our report in 3 days,” I said as I handed him the letter from the Duke. Dash is now 11 years old and if Clementin
It’s already been a month since his highness gave me the order to protect this young lady. She looks decent and her physical features are quite familiar. I am Cole Grey, the personal knight of his highness, but currently assigned as this lady’s knight.She looks so lifeless. You can see in her eyes that it’s not her, that her mind and body are separated. We are currently taking a stroll in the garden. We are with the maid that his highness also assigned for her. His highness is in the guild that he’s working for, but I don’t know what kind of work he is doing there. I'm his knight so it is a must that I should know where he’s going.I felt that someone’s watching us so I became alert. The lady might have also felt it because she stood up, then looked at her left side and she’s looking at the tree in that direction. I drew out my sword, then planned to catch that person, but I was shocked because this lady held my sword, then lifted her left hand, then something came out her palm, then
“You look great in Princess Jade’s training outfit when she was still young… I wonder if you’re a noble?” the maid that has always been with me said.“May I ask for your name?” I said, while she’s tying my hair in a ponytail.“Please be less formal towards me, my lady… I am Lucy,” she replied.“Then please be informal to me too because I’m nothing, but just a petty commoner,” I replied, then I stood up.“Please guide me towards the training area,” I said.“Please pardon me my lady, but I won’t be able to escort you as the head maid ordered me to do something, but sir Grey will lead you towards the training grounds,” she said as she opened the door for me.“Greeting my lady… I am Cole Grey, the prince’s imperial guard commander,” the man with brown hair said while bowing in front of me.“Please do not bow in front of me for I am just a commoner,” I said.“Pardon me, but let me at least do this as part of my job and if I will not bow to you, I might be punished, so shall we head to the
“Try the other one,” sister Jade said, then one of the maids got the blue off-shoulder gown, while the others removed the current dress and the 5th dress that I wore earlier. They made me wear the blue off-shoulder gown that sister Jade chose, then I tiredly sat on the couch. Someone knocked at the door and it revealed Lucas.“Lucas, save me from this hell,” I said.“Haha, older sister… please stop… we need to go somewhere and we have a lot of things to do today,” Lucas said.“What do you think? Does she look so gorgeous in that gown?” sister Jade asked Lucas. Lucas looked at me and I saw his ears became red, then smiled.“She looks gorgeous,” he replied to his sister.“Thank you?” I said.“Why is that a question? You looked really gorgeous,” sister Jade said.“I’m just not used to such compliments, hehe” I said while looking at the floor.“Let’s go Clementine… Leo’s waiting for us,” Lucas said. I stood up, then went near him.“Thank you for dressing me up,” I said to those maids, th
“Get your ass in front of me right now or I will force you out of your hiding place!” I said to Prince Jude which is clearly nowhere to be seen. Well, he has the power to control nature, that’s why he’s just somewhere in this field because this field was enchanted and if you don’t finish what the master says, you will never be able to get out of here no matter how powerful you are. Teleportation won't work.“I think you want me to find you,” I said, then stomped my feet on the ground and it began shaking. I analysed his power earlier and got some of his abilities, that’s why I was able to control nature too.The tree moves, then its root begins to go in one direction.I smirked, then whistled. The roots of the tree with a captured Prince are now in front of me. “How did you control the tree?” he asked.“Thanks to your power, I was able to have this kind of ability,” I said while smiling, then I started to walk near him.I gestured my hand to move the Prince’s hand to me and the tree
“Did you not take a nap last night?” Pi asked me who just entered my office while carrying a tray that had a mug of hot chocolate. I yawned, then looked at the window as Pi put the mug of hot chocolate on my table. “Can’t do… I still have quite a few things to finish and I should finish this before I meet the Grand Duke,” I said, then got back to work. “Please do not neglect your health, master,” he worriedly said. I nodded, then gestured for him to leave. I stopped for a moment, then drank the hot choco. I stood up, then stood by the window to appreciate another sunrise as I drank my hot choco. As I appreciated the view, someone knocked. “Come in,” I said without turning my back. “The Marchioness is here to meet you,” Pi said. “Escort the Marchioness here, and serve us tea,” I ordered him ,then sat on my chair and used my magic to cover the upper half of my face. “The Marchioness is here, empress,” Pi said. “Enter,” I replied, then the door opened. “Greetings to you, Marchi
“I would like to speak with the Grand Duke,” I said to the guards of the gate.“Who are you?!” one of the guards asked as both of them pointed their swords towards me.“I am the one that he’s looking for,” I replied.“That’s not the answer that we’re looking for… who are you and what’s your motive?” the one that asked me earlier asked me again.“I already told you… I am the one that he’s been looking for and that he’s been waiting for,” I replied again.“We will not let you enter, unless you tell us who you are, and show us an invitation to enter His Grace's estate,” the other guard said.“Perspicuus” I enchanted, then I saw everyone inside the mansion. I looked for the Grand Duke, then saw his aura inside his office, that’s why I teleported right in front of his desk.“Who are you?!” he asked me as he pointed his sword towards me and so did his attendant.“Greetings to you too Grand Duke Whistleton, may the Guardians of the North Bless you,” I said, then melted his sword.“Do not worr
“Eh~? I did not torture anyone to death yet,” I said as I think of the past.“You did!” Leo said.“I did? When did I?” I asked Leo.“You tortured Minus! He almost died! If it weren’t for us, he would be dead by now,” Lucas answered.“Oh~ Minus? I did not torture him to death… he’s alive and living well, right?” I answered.“Still, you should choose someone other than you to interrogate them,” Lucas said. It seems like they will insist on that one, so I have no choice, but to do it.I rolled my eyes, then used the small crystal ball to contact Pi.“Empress, what’s your order?” Pi asked.“Go to my office and I will open a gate for you there… let Minus take over the guild while you’re gone,” I said.“May I ask why?” he said.“Interrogate the traitors… you have the power to read one’s mind and look into their memories… I was planning to do it myself, but this two princes told me not to and choose someone to do it instead for I may torture them to death,” I answered.“Haha, the princes are
