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 -  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

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

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

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’
