In a peaceful empire there is a legend.
Once there was a moon goddess who granted power to the founding emperor and with it, he empowered the empire and start an era of prosperity and glory.
She was fond of him, loved him to the expense of her life but they can't be together. She was a transcendental and he was human she can't bear the thought of him dying before her and as a final act of piety, she decided to share her powers to the three other families that helped the founding of the empire, in doing so her life force was drained.
Afterwards, the moon goddess went into a deep slumber, leaving behind a the words,
"One day, I'll live again and your heart shall find me."
Before disappearing into a mirage, leaving forever. The founding emperor was quite heart broken. However, he moved on and lived while keeping her into his heart.
As that, the imperial family, the Duke of Luxembourg, the Marquis of Antipuesto, and the Duke of Edinburgh all had come to bear power.
It was a world where magic exist however there a magic unique only to this four families.
The Duke of Luxembourg can use the magic of the darkness.
The Marquis of Antipuesto boosted the magic for disguise.
The Duke of Edinburgh had powerful protection magic.
And finally, the imperial family can give birth to a spirit guardian.
Many thought of the goddess' words as a prophecy, while others disregard it as a final farewell. However, many years had passed and everything was buried in history books.
Luna closed the book she was reading, she heaved out a sigh and her eyes darted into the book she was reading.
"The legend of Kazek Empire."
At present, year 990 almost a millennium had passed and the world had evolved, the story of the first emperor and the moon goddess had remained as a tragic love story, a legend that never failed to capture the hearts of many.
"Crazy!" she exclaimed as she ruffled her long smooth silver hair. Among her family, she was the only one born with a silver hair in a family that has blond hair. If not for the fact that she had an amethyst coloured eyes, the symbol of Luxembourg duchy, everyone would've thought that she was not a child of the family.
Luna Luxembourg
The daughter of a Duke and a princess of a foreign country. The rose of the social world, a genius and the best empress candidate. A woman who everyone covets.
That was how she was described or at least in the future. And that is because the person who was wearing Luna's shell was not of this world.
Selene, a 20 year old ordinary college student jumped on a bridge one day, it was the day where news of her family being killed in an accident had reached her ears, after stopping by briefly in the hospital, she found herself walking along a river she was fascinated by the moon that reflected on the waters, it was a lunar eclipse. She recalled that Korean Drama that she watched where the female lead was transported into the past after having an accident in a lake during an eclipse.
She thought 'What if I'll go back into the past just before my family died?' it was an absurd idea, but she took her chance. She was confident because she can swim. However things turned different from what she thought of.
That is because she suddenly found herself inside a novel that she read with her sister. Inside the body of a ten year old Luna Luxembourg, who in the future, will be a beauty that is comparable to a goddess.
Suddenly a knock was heard in a silent room. It was Jena, her maid.
"My lady, can I come in?"
"What's going on?"
"The people from the dressing room are here for your banquet costume."
A number of people rush inside the drawing room as soon as permission was granted. All of them are carrying a variety of boxes and pushing the hanger full of clothes.
'It's been a year now' she thought. Her eyes was indifferent as she clicked her tongue. Her 11th birthday is just around the corner, it will be the first time she'll celebrate her birthday as Luna, which coincidentally had the same birthday as Selene. It was hard for her to adjust but now she was finally accepting her new life.
This time, she vowed to never lose her new family. The duchy of Luxembourg had three people, one was the Duke of Luxembourg who is known for his deep love for his family especially his daughter— Luna Luxembourg and there was her younger brother who follows her very well. The duchess died while giving birth to the young master however, this incident made the family stronger and bonded together to ease their longing of their mother. She had something she want to protect and there was nothing she could ever hope for.
If there is one thing that she wants the most, that is to not be dragged into the imperial family and the struggle against the throne.
The Kazek imperial family is a harmonious family. The two princes, despite both being candidate for the throne was supportive of each other and had a good relationship. They both don't have qualms on whoever inherits the throne, all they care about is the good of the people and the empire.
However, that is not the case for their material relatives. The two prince's have different mothers. The first empress, the mother of the first Prince died after committing suicide. She was overwhelmed by the pressure of her family in trying to control her and use her to their advantage. After her death, the emperor remarried and the current empress loved the first Prince as if he was her own. She began to rear him into becoming the next emperor.
The empress was estranged from her family but when she gave birth to the second Prince, they started doing all atrocious acts in hopes of putting their own blood to the throne.
That was when Luna Luxembourg came in. In the novel, she was an extra. Despite having buffs that is equal of that of the main characters, she died after being caught in between the ptwo families.
Originally, she was engaged to the first Prince Raul Kazek. Because of the engagement the first Prince gain enough power and support for his legitimacy. But a plot by the second prince's maternal family, she was brutally killed.
'What a crazy death! I'm not even a villainess but an extra!'
She sigh deeply. Right now, there is still ten years before the beginning of the novel. She never finished reading the book however, she read past the part where her family had grieved for the loss of Luna.
The story doesn't even center around the imperial family, however it played a big role in the main characters development. That is because the male lead is the first Prince cousin the next Duke of Edinburgh and the female lead which is the second Prince cousin the daughter of Marquis Antipuesto. The plot that centers around the two families who supports the two respective princes, a typical star crossed love story who fought the odds and lived happily ever after.
'If you guys want the throne so much just fight the imperial family why do you have to include me!'
Thus, it was that moment when Luna decided to never live the way she did in the novel.
'I'm going to live a carefree life and do whatever I want.'
It was the beginning of Luna Luxembourg's journey to being a mischievous daughter and terrible reputation that will keep her away from the eyes of the imperial family.
