Moligan Harmurt gave Bernard Claymore concern look. He knew what this man confused about. Unfortunately, he also can't say anything. Like what he received that time, if he said all the things what he saw that day 12 years ago, the things that shall happen would be annulled.
"My Lord, I can't say the details, but rest assured everything that I saw that day will be happen and it will bring fortune to this Kingdom. What I'm implying is, you could trust in your little daughter ability to catch Crown Prince's heart."
"I want to ask you, did the Emperor know about my little daughter existence?" Bernard finally asked the crucial question.
Moligan immediately answered. "No, because it would affect the prophecy, My Lord."
Bernard couldn't restrain himself anymore. He grabbed Moligan's collar and said, "It would be an honor to my family if the Crown Prince choose my daughter as his future wife. Also it looks like the Crown Prince very interested in my little daughter more and more, because His Majesty already said he would visit again soon. But, it wouldn't be good if my little daughter is the one who the Crown Prince took interest in. Roselia and Rosé are different! And it would raise suspicion if one day the real Roselia meet the Crown Prince! My family will be doomed for deceiving the Royal Family!"
Moligan could felt the rage of the Duke. Then he gather his courage and said, "That would not happen, My Lord! You must trust the fate that would bring a happy ending for all that involve in this tragic fate!"
For a Constellation Master to said that, Bernard finally loosen his grip. He knows who Moligan Harmurt is. He is the person who can predict what will happen to Zetas Kingdom and his vision never miss. The things he said always come true. That's why the Emperor bestowed him title of Constellation Master.
In reality, the things got more complicated right now and Bernard really hate this prophecy even more! He doesn't want to risk his entire family for this!
The Empress will help the next Emperor bring this Kingdom to its glory like the late First Emperor.
The sentence was said by Moligan at the day Roselia and Rosé were born suddenly echoed in his mind. Right now the Duke felt really sad. My title and my wealth could not bring happiness to my twin daughters. What kind of father am I?
"This indeed very tragic fate..." He looked like he lost his spirit from his eyes. "I bid my farewell to you, sir Moligan."
Before the Duke left, Moligan halt him and said, "Be strong and don't waver from the original intention of this prophecy, My Lord! Please, I beg you!"
Bernard stunned to hear that. Even the Constellation Master himself begged him. This means the prophecy place much more important than anything.

Roselia walked in the corridor to seek her father and mother. After 3 days lie in bed, she finally got better. At the end of the corridor she saw Rosé who walked from the opposite side.
"Roselia!" Rosé run towards her big sister and hugged her tight. "Finally you got better!"
Roselia gave her gentle smile and said. "It's not very ladylike to run like that and hug someone so sudden." Then she chuckled.
Rosé pouted. "I know..."
"Did you see father and mother?"
"I think they're in the father's study room." Rosé answered. "I'm going to meet with brother Damon, see you later Roselia~"
Roselia nodded and after Rosé silhouette couldn't be seen anymore, she walked to father's study room. She saw the door was slightly open, but before she knock, she heard her mother's voice.
"My dear, have you already meet the Constellation Master again?" Kylie suddenly remember something she was asked to her husband a long time ago. It was about Rosé existence which is whether the Emperor alredy knew what The Constellation Master have said when the twin was born or not.
Soon, when Roselia and Rosé reach their adult age, high probability that the Crown Prince would propose to take Roselia's hand in marriage. When reach the adult age, that means Rosé also will get married. Kylie Claymore could not watch her daughter live alone for herself in the future. She wants to make sure everything will go as the plan. The plan is to send Rosé out of capital to get her freedom life.
Bernard nodded. "That's why I have been persistent about Roselia is the one who meet His Majesty the Crown Prince that day. Not long ago, I went visited Moligan and asked whether he said anything to the Emperor about our twin daughters or not. Then he answered, the was no one else in the Palace who knows about the twin born in Claymore's household."
"T-then... about our plan to get Rosé a comfortable life outside the capital after she become an adult... how can we proceed that plan if His Highness didn't know about our daughter existence?!" In Zetas Kingdom, only a person with identity can walk in and out of the capital. If a person don't have identity, then according to the law, he or she was a trespasser and could be in jail, even more if the person couldn't state his or her identity, they could be send out as a slave. Knowing this fact, the duchess wanted to scream to let out her stuffed chest, but she couldn't do it.
Moligan Harmurt, who is he think of himself to made my children experience all of this?! The duchess' rage could be seen on her face. But, something told her that it was not because that Constellation Master. It was because the fate which brought all of this to them. She could only blame this cruel fate.
"Moligan didn't give me specific answers that time, but he only said one thing that Roselia would be the Empress. If that's the case, then we can only send Rosé in secret after she become an adult to get her freedom life. Or we could make something else, like we adopt a daughter then we sent her off to marriage because her adult age and if that the case, Rosé will have her own identity which is our adopted daughter." Bernard thinking hard and would do anything to his little daughter.
"I will make a plan out of this for our little daughter, my dear." After said that, Bernard come near his wife and put her in his embrace.
Meanwhile, Roselia heard all of this matter outside the study room and start crying in silence. She always thought her little sister already had enough hard life, but why many bad things keep coming like lightning when the hard rain came? How could fate be this cruel for both of them?
