Chapter 3 - PAST

Nordorway Manson

France

Inside a huge historical mansion constructed near the vast forest and a 480khm away from other houses located in it's own villa with an enchanting garden and historical structures.

Pass the driveway, pass the pissing statue, inside the huge golden door, upwards to the fourth stairway, inside one of the rooms decorated to fit the taste of any princess, pass the quite hallway that had minimum workers doing on job or the other, the sound of twinkling laughter along with squeak of alarm was heard. The sound of a merry little child laughing joyfully and speaking a marathon, a predicament known to the servants of Nordorway Mansion.

Dark trundled of brown hair moved with the up and down movement of gravity, her heart shaped face with fluffy cheeks of apple sauce. Her pink and yellow silly gown also moved with gravity to reveal her little bun in white panties, her skin a rich golden constant to the two fair maids in the room with her.

"Lady Rosaline, please get down. It is not suitable for a noble lady to act like this"

Servant one cautions, stretching forth her arms to catch the little child who took it upon herself that morning to turn her bed into a bouncing castle.

"Says who?"

"Society my lady, please come down or you will hurt yourself"

Servant two also supports while looking pale with worry.

"Society this, society that, blah blah I don't care, this is fun so am gonna have my fun"

The two servant knew the character of their little mistress but still hadn't gotten used to it, amongst all the other children in the mansion they cared specifically about this young lady who was born from a two country to make her a cross mixed that was still getting accepted into society. At such a young age she had seen the harsh criticism of the high class being the first child of the third master , her position was placed high yet never had she ever crumbled. The two servants knew she was destined to become great in the future so they vowed to themselves to help guide the little mistress.

"But you could get hurt my lady, you could fall, please come down your piano lessons are soon to start"

Young at heart and filled with energy, Lady Rosaline Constance took it upon herself to act mischief in the boring room away from her father who chose to spend more time on her younger brother than her, chasing her out that with talks about what a lady should do, and her mother? the sweet meek and gentle Lady Viviana Constance was heavy with another child and didn't have her time.

Lady Rosaline had seen it all and luckily her IQ was high so she understood it all. It wasn't her fault her father decided to marry a famous american scholar instead of a high class cottequitte French woman. a woman of a different race that birthed her with a same skin color from the milky white. It wasn't her fault that her father wants to fight with his siblings for grandfather's mansion along with the tile of governor. It wasn't her fault she was born a girl and her brother was a boy. She was five, known to her mother of being a genius and a piano prodigy so she understood it all.

"I lady Rosaline says I am allowed to jump in the privacy of my room so I lady Rosaline I am allowed to"

She grew to become stubborn, witty and learnt the art of gab, she never wish to attract anyone with her outstanding gifts.

"Lets go"

But her grandfather was different, she love playing the piano because it brought her closer to him in a way, though she doesn't see him everyday she knew he would be in the next room listening to her play while her either read or took a nap.

The two servants were pleased at last, they straightened her silky dress and led her to the music room. At first she walked like a proper lady but half way there she took off running. She had short legs yet wanted to run faster,a low stamina she aimed to get stronger. She was a child with a zeal and a lot of energy so why wasn't she allowed to train herself.

"Olff!!!!"

Once more the two servants experience a mere heart attack, on a norm they would have turned to mothering hen but the presence of the other supreme being brought them quivering to their feets.

"Lady Rosaline!!!"

"My-- my lord!!!"

Rosaline ran into a wall that brought her to the ground. She complained in her mind that the halls were large enough yet the wall appeared from nowhere to make her fall. She had a cute frown that puffed out her chubby cheeks, her dark brown eyes glared at the said wall.

"Grandfather the halls are wide enough so why did you become a wall in the middle?"

Goran Constance was an aged 60years old man with healthy built and feature, he had indeed become a wall in the middle of the hallway that was because of the presence of his little grand daughter, others assumed he cared only of his fame and fortune and not his family, and always give out a cold and blank look but that was wrong, for a year now he had been watching his little grand daughter and must admit that she amused his interest especially when she saw that determined look on her face while she ran, she reminded him of himself when he aimed to get stronger.

The elderly man beside Lord Constance was also shocked by the little child's words along with the two servants and the guards that stood beside the walls.

"Lady Rosaline!!!"

The first servant tugged her mistress dress lightly in warning while the other bowed deeply in apology.

"My lord, please forgive the sixth mistress she didn't mean to offend you this fine afternoon"

But lord Constance ignored the apology and chose to engage his grand daughter a bit. his cold look gave off the feeling that he was very much offended but Rosalie heeded not, she was the only grand daughter that wasn't scared of her grand father who too abandoned her.

"What makes you think I stood to cause your fall, the halls are also large enough why didn't you run the other way"

She huffed those cheeks the more at her grandfather words.

"I'm not stupid grandfather, yes the halls are wide and I was already running in a straight line beside my feets weren't light while running so am sure you heard me before you decided to become a wall"

"Why you little punk!"

Lord Constance exclaimed in outrage at her smart words, the little child hit the words at the top.

"Lady Rosalie!, please!!"

Then he sighed as thought he had lost interest in the child.

"Very well, Where are you off to?"

"The music room"

"Why aren't you in the cottage learning?"

To the lord if the child was in the cottage where the other grandchildren were, she would be more encouraged to learn more skills.

"I'm not allowed to"

"Hmm". The lord answered before walking off with the man beside him and the guards but Rosaline wasn't done with him, she ran to his front bowed before leaving.

"Have a nice day grandfather"

Lord Constance was more that amused, where his other grand children would avoid him this little one chose to approve him and even dare argue with him.

"The little one has wits and courage, reminds me a lot of you back then"

The man besides the lord commented, he was Lord Philip West , close old friends with the lord so he knew his character the best.

"Where all your other grandchildren run from you she dares approach you, ha! ha! what do you plan on doing next my friend?"

Lord Constance had a small curve on his lip at the words but he knew it was too early to decided yet.

"Nothing"
