On the day she wishes she wasn't born, a miracle has let her lived her life once more. Drizzles of light guided her through the shabby path within the surrounding of a vile void, the woman reached her head out of the pits of suffering.
"Lady Kiana, wake up, the sky is thriving as it seems. You still need to attend your dancing class, " a soft voice suddenly reached her ears as if time went back to which she was yet been called 'Lady' it was different though but when she appears to open her eyes stiffly.
The image of a wonderful blooming woman and a luxurious silver design appeared. She can feel the urge of sensibility but she realizes that maybe she's dreaming inside her empty motionless death.
The woman who stood beside her has a unique ender pearl eye glowing in the tender of muddy brown hair. Once she recognized the person in front, her body immediately woke up gazing at a longing person she hadn't meet since she enters the palace.
"Countess Helea? I thought you died after the Dukedom fell!?"
She grabbed the shoulder of the person in front unable to express the sense of nostalgia.
The countess was stunned by the spoken sentence that the lady she serve told. It was unexpected and it was terrifying to say, still, given the fact that Kiana looks a little confused and nervous, Countess decided to shake her off back from reality.
"Lady Kiana must have stayed all night again. Your spouting nonsense in the early morning, and even if I died I won't be talking to you. Now a lady mustn't be late for her class. "
Countess slowly blushed off Kiana's confusing look that took Kiana into consideration what was happening.
'This dream that looks like a reality. Eventually, this is no mere a dream, my hands that are far younger, Countess Helea who stood alive? And this room, this is the decoration of my room before father died from illness!'
In the matter of asking, Kiana couldn't find the question that made her surprised from disappointment. As for now, the only thing she knew is that she's back in the castle and Helea the Countess is also alive.
She decided to shrug off the feeling and decided to act along with these abnormal events that are happening right now and she smiles.
"Countess Helea, what do you mean dance class? " The countess looked at her in confusion before she shrugged her head and nodded.
"I forgot to tell you in advance. You've requested a tutor for learning dancing. The duke approved and appointed the famous actress to teach you the pro of dancing." She explained while cleaning the bed that Kiana had used and she pulled Kiana on the full-size mirror for her to take her nightgown off.
Kiana indeed requested a dance instructor from the duke, her father but that was 6 years ago before she becomes a spectre of dust.
Then suddenly Kiana's eye was swollen in realization. She once again gazes on her pale skin, glossy lips and the tempting eye's on the mirror reminiscing the day she was 17 after her coming-of-age...
'6 years from the past? This is impossible, I thought I died!? '
It was confusing for Kiana but time didn't give her enough to get over with what she discovered.
-----♣-----
"Greetings to the Lady of this house, I am Fiana Sentian, you may know me as the famous maestro of the musical dance art." The woman in fine shape bowed down on Kiana's presence, Kiana who's aware that this happened in her past nodded casually.
Madam Fiana is one of the empires famous actress and a dancer. She portraited many plays on the biggest stage of the empire, she is known as Madame Fiana a goddess of acting. She was once awarded many trophies for achieving several expectations but in Kiana's past, Madame Fiana was raped and murdered when she was on vacation in her hometown the small village of the poor.
Kiana bow slowly enough to make it more presentable and perfect.
"I am well aware of your prestige, Madame Fiana. I am Kiana Byrne, I am the one who requested your presence in this room. I'm glad you had come, and I apologise if I am somehow late..."
"No milady, you've come just in time. The hostility of House Byrne had kept my company. " Madam Fiana ended her formalities after she looked at her posture in standing as to how etiquettes do and then she looked at the way she put her hands separated and how her chin was looking up straight.
"Flawless, so perfect that I can't see any flow. Milady must have spent her time perfecting the Ladyships Mannerism. " She complimented in fluttery covering her mouth with her right hands happily.
"Yes, I was taught at a young age the proper posture and the proper walking. It wasn't that hard but the one who taught me all things I should know was gentle about my academics. " Kiana said implying on the Madame's fluttery.
Madame Fiana smiled and she approached Kiana at a small pace thought Kiana had already learned everything she made her learn. It was just quite surprising the Madame smiled at her when she didn't do that in her past.
"You see milady, being a lady is troublesome for most but being honourable isn't and descending does conclude. The way you learn how to properly pick a fork on a table is also the same as how you pick a passion out of dancing." She grabbed Kiana's hand and forced her to spin around one time.
"In the art of dancing is the same as the art of war. It all depends on one person's passion. Deception is also concluded to that of success. In the enemy of your audience, so all comes from not being stiff but being immature first. " She once again forces Kiana into spinning and then this time she forced her to slowly start by pacing back and forth.
"Dancing is an easy pray if you understand the mechanics. " This time she ended with smoothly spin around Kiana and her and she finally let Kiana's hand go.
Leaving Kiana sweating in unforgettable memories of her time. Leaving her exhausted even for a bit and that's when Kiana looked at Madame with the unbelievable gaze.
"Oh, milady, are you alright?" Madame Fiana looked at her worried.
'How am I supposed to be alright!?'
Though Kiana learns everything, her stamina shouldn't be so weak as how she feels right now. She must have learned that despite her mind who knew every knowledge, her body is still 17 years old that needed development.
"Madame is truly living up to your name, the passionate Madame Fiana. "
Kiana started calming herself by properly twitching her back and retain her angle before she looked at the madame in front.
"Not at all, milady. I was merely 21 when I was name Maestro of the Musical Dance Art and when I was awarded, they give me the name Madame." The looks on Madame Fiana's eye fell into sadness that she once again surpass with a fake and forced smile.
"However, milady I heard rumours that your grace will be joining next years Queen Candidates for the crown. I must ask, will you be participating at that time? " Kiana looked puzzled but she soon remembers that time the same question that Madame Fiana had asked her in her past before this abnormal happening in her life.
Thought she answered differently to the Madame so the Madame didn't interfere more with her personal decisions and taught her the dance of perfection the first dance that she learns from the maestro's goddess of musical dancing arts.
"I'm fully aware of your concern Madame. I know what lay beside the competition for the Queen's Crown. However, this is my destiny and my duty that I needed to fulfil. I am the only daughter born after Queen Behea 300 hundred years ago and I need to fulfil that oracle given to me by the gods." Kiana nodded smiling warmly and in the end, even Madame seem to be full by her answer and she smiles.
'I-- if I did truly came back from that time. Then I can truly change my destiny? If I can, then I'll take my revenge upon that bastard!! '
