Seeing her confused state, the lady sighs.
[… You are a direct descendant of the Ancient Royal Family. I presume you know the real reason behind the golden hair and sky-blue eyes.]
"No." Rosella shakes her head. She really did not know about it. She only thought they were like this from the very beginning.
And because her hair and her Eldest Royal Brother's hair were slightly different, they were bound to be special. Or that's something everyone told her since she was born.
Resuming, Rosella only knows that when she was born, an incredible phenomenon occurred, all life around her bloomed.
Flowers, trees, rivers, thriving with life, and the animals around bowed in her direction.
There was a book about the Ancient Royal Family about every single destined Princess' birth. And it happened the same way. So everyone assumed she was like that.
[… It was like this. Many things happened at the beginning of the Magic epoch. Back then, the Ancient Royal Family itself was the Ancient Kingdom's Ruler…
Magic was just born, allowing humans to use it. After a couple of years of the Magic's birth, the humans and Werewolves wanted to establish a union between them.
Maybe because the mates of many werewolves were human, or because neither side wanted to become prey. They established an alliance of marriage between the descendant of the Ancient Royal Family and the descendant of the Werewolf King.
But few knew about this.
Like many admirers of the descendant of the Werewolf King.
A little fairy fell in love with a descendant of the Werewolf King. She did not understand the basics about mates and Luna, nor did she understand the faithfulness and devotion in the Werewolves' hearts. She only wanted love.
With her ignorant and clear heart, she confessed her feelings, but the descendant of the Werewolf King, a prideful wolf, straightforwardly rejected her.
Because of her one-sided love, she fell into depression and made her magic fall into corruption.
Because of this, the birth of Dark Magic was forthcoming.
Due to her heartbreak, she becomes hostile and showed up at the Celebration of the union between the descendant of the Ancient Royal Family and the descendant of the Werewolf King. She confronted everyone. Her heart, filled with malice and hurt, made her leave a curse on all of them and the future generations before she dissipated in front of everyone.
The Ancient Royal Family's hair was silver. But because of her curse, their hair turned black.
When a sorceress cast a spell to revert the curse, their hair turned into different shades of blond.
No one knew where the little fairy went after that, they only knew she dissipated. Thinking that she used up all her magic in the curse, and left the world.]
When the lady ended her explanation, Rosella fell deep in thoughts.
"Isn't selfish to love that way?" Rosella feels distraught and annoyed.
[When love is between objects, being human, spirits, fairies, werewolves, and other creatures, there is no boundary, there is only… A thin tread, dividing the love and hate.
But you will be different, the love between that person and you, don't know boundaries, there is no meaning of hate or one-sided love, just eternal love. He will make the vows valid, and you will regain your magic.]
When the lady says those words, it did not give Rosella time to ask when the space around them cracks.
The cracks grow bigger and bigger.
[This space is collapsing. Remember to wait for his vow. Your heart must be complete. If you don't, the little dark fairy will return.]
When the lady finish speaking, Rosella saw the inside of the cracks. And the bright starry sky came into her view. Stars like tiny diamonds are scattered in the vast dark sky, and streaks of silver-white light are drawn in the sky, as if it looks like a galaxy, so far but so close.
Lost in her surroundings, something clicked in her mind. And she heard her own voice inside her head.
'The Crack is actually a space knot created by a huge fission, a boundary outside the current space.'
In her daze, she got drowned in one of those cracks. Wanting to take a step to get closer, a voice resounded in her mind.
'Master! Wake up! DON'T GO THERE!'
A scream awoke her up from her daze. When she opens her eyes, the ceiling of her bedroom welcomes her.
"Thanks Lulu. That was terrifying." Rosella murmurs while patting her chest to calm down her sped-up heartbeat.
"Little Sister. You finally wake up! How do you feel? Any discomfort? Need some water?"
When Rosella saw the person asking many questions, although it makes her dizzy, she feels warm.
The man at her side of her bed is frowning, and the concern in his voice and eyes is not fake. But she found funny his looks, seeing his hair and disheveled clothes. She forgot for a moment that her Second Royal Brother doesn't live up to the expectations of the Royal Family.
Rosella sees her Second Royal Brother this way and feels speechless.
"Second Royal Brother, I'm fine." Says Rosella while taking his hand.
"How can you be fine!? You fainted, and when I found you outside the library, you were pale and covered with sweat! I have to carry you from there until here, and there was no one around."
Roderick's tone of voice filled with frustration moved her heart.
"It's okay. I'm really fine. I was too tired, and my body couldn't handle it. But now I'm fine."
Rosella's assurance made Roderick calm down a little.
After expending a couple of minutes to convince Roderick, Rosella dismiss him from her room. And he left… reluctant…
Being left alone in her room. She remembers what happened after she fainted. Sorting out her thoughts and the short information the golden lady told her.
'So, that's how it is?' Rosella keeps thinking that something is missing.
Leaving aside something she did not understand, she pondered in the rest.
"In short… To find a Sacred Weapon, I have to learn in deep about the Sacred Magic and to learn, I have to wait for him..." Rosella murmurs.
Lost in her own thoughts, she did not notice a person leaning with crossed arms in her door wide open, observing her.
'Master, your Eldest Royal Brother is here…' the female childish voice softly remained Rosella.
