Pumunta kami sa isang parte ng garden nila kung saan mayroon rin silang maliit na pond at naglalakihang mga puno. Mayroong daanang kahoy sa may pond na maiksi lamang. Dumiretso naman ako roon at tumayo sa pinakadulo at nakatingin sa malayong parte. Naramdaman ko naman na tumabi siya sa akin pero hindi ko siya tinapunan ng tingin. "So..." he started. "...what happened to you in your previous life?" he asked. Huminga muna ako nang malalim at inalala ang mga nangyari sa akin noon. Napangiti ako nang malungkot at niyakap ang aking sarili bago ko tignan si Luci. "I had a miserable life. My father ignored and abandoned me in a place that wasn't my home in the first place. I felt lost. But as soon as I met this guy who I thought would be my savior, my salvation in my difficult time

Three days had past and, I have an appointment with Jakob. He sent a letter before I went to Lucius Kingdom and, I told Jerome to send a reply that I'll meet him after I come back. Now, I have the time to go to him. I don't know why he wanted to meet me, but based on his letter, he probably want me to try new dresses since he starts to sew clothes again. I'm with the twins and also the twin Knights, which are Ellys and Elliot. Though father added some more and, I can't do anything about it. "My lady, we're already here," Elliot said, and opened the carriage's door for me. Nakasunod lamang sa akin ang kambal na sina Glenda, Glenna, Ellys and Elliot. Kumatok muna ako sa pintuan at ilang saglit lamang ay binuksan rin iyon kaagad. Pag

Kinagabihan may natanggap kaming letter at nakatingin sa akin ang aking ama nang masama pero tinapunan ko lamang siya ng isang inosenteng tingin at nginitian siya. The letter came from the Imperial Palace saying we need to go there and explain our side. Well, hindi ko naman kasalanan na na-butthurt siya sa sinabi ko. Duh. "What did you do, Lacy?" nagtitimping tanong sa akin ng aking ama. Kibit balikat ko lamang siyang sinagot at nag-cross legs. "I didn't do anything. I just gave her highness some knowledge that a royal family should know. Plus, it's not my fault if she's now crying like a child and wailing like she's the one who's in pity where in fact she's at fault," I explained. I heard my father's heavily sighed and, looked at me straight in the eyes.

Napailing na lamang si Lucian sa ikinilos ng kaniyang anak. Napatingin siya kay Jerome at tinawag ito. "Send a knight to follow where she's going," saad nito. Tumango naman si Jerome sa kaniya at umalis na. "Sir, the carriage is already ready, are you ready to leave?" tanong ng kutsero. Lucian sighed first before nodding his head and go inside the carriage. He just wants to protect her daughter that's why he sent a knight to follow where she's going, all the time. Kaya lahat ng kaniyang pinupuntahan ay laging may nakasunod na knight, ngunit hindi ito alam ni Lacy dahil alam niyang hindi papayag ang kaniyang anak. Dinagdagan na niya ang mga guards na kasama nito at mas lalo pang pinaghigpitan ang pagbabantay nang mag-assign siya ng

"No need for that, my King. I'm here already," Lacy said as she enters the hall. The room filled with noises and a lot of people are murmuring around. Lacy look around and he saw a lot of nobles here, especially those advisers and who has a high-rank in the society. Nakita niya rin ang ibang anak ng hari at ang kani-kanilang mga iba pang kamag-anak. Nakita niya si Izaak sa kabilang banda ngunit hindi ito masyadong pansin dahil bahagyang malayo ang pwesto nito sa kaniyang mga kapatid. Nang igala niya ang kaniyang paningin ay nakita niya si Yasmine at katabi nito ang kaniyang nakatatandang kapatid na si Pickett, na siyang nakatingin lamang sa kaniya. She saw her father kneeling in front of everyone. She raised her eyebrow and walked
