The trembling baby , felt warmth from his hands .
As si woon wiped her tears , a beam of light flashed .
He was scared by the sudden light flashed .
He felt his head spinning and a pain in his head .
The pain was unbearable that si woon soon fainted.
The only thing he saw next was a ceiling.
The scene was blurry .
A maid smiled and came to carry the sleeping baby .
Yes, what si woon was seeing was the memories of real Andrea .
She was a child prodigy .She started to utter cute words like momma , dadda , bwotha when she was ten months .Baby Andrea was a lovely baby , she started to walk on her own once she reached 1 year old .Before that she used to get help from the maids and Duchess. Her brothers love her and pampered their baby sister .
The elder brother's name was Johnathan while the younger brother's name was Andrew . Andrew and Andrea did not have much age difference. Andrew was four years old when Andrea started to walk .
Andrea's memory had fragments of Johnathan running towards her after his sword training and carrying her through the garden .Their mother , the duchess used to scold Johnathan for not washing himself before going near the baby .
Andrew was a playful child , he also used to carry a small wooden sword and always tell baby Andrea that he would also become a warrior like their father and protect the mother and Andrea .
As she reached age two , she was interested in reading books . She was fast at learning letters and spelling them .
The Duke and Duchess were in awe of their young daughter's ability .
They did not know ,she gained this ability because of a past she had to face .That past was hidden behind a dark door in the corner of her memories.
Andrea started and perfected her etiquette at early age of three .
As young girls were only allowed to hold tea parties after reaching age ten, Andrea did not get an opportunity for tea parties.
This didn't stop her from memorizing more rules of noble class.
She made tea for her family and served them tea with her tiny hands .
The tea she made was sweet , but her elegant appearance while making it was not something a four-year-old can pull off.
One evening , a close friend of the duchess visited the manor .
The guest was escorted inside by The Duchess herself .Little Andrea stood beside the Duchess while she escorted the guest to their beautiful green house . The green house was planted with varieties of flowering plants and fruit trees .
There were different colour roses .
Even the rare blue rose was found in the Kovinsons Green house. ( Kovinsons is the Dukedome name - Andrela Kovinsons.)
The flowers planted had a past to them .
The pink rose and white rose planted represented the hair colour of Hannah(Kovinsons duchess ) and Eveline (Matthias duchess).
Hannah and Eveline were old friends.
The blue and green rose represented the Kovinsons family love .
Love between the Duke and Duchess.
...
The guest was a beautiful lady with silver hair and emerald eyes , she looked younger than the Duchess . She walked elegantly and could be compared with the white roses of the garden .
Her eyes had a shining light in them , that could make anyone fall in love with those pretty eyes .
She looked like an innocent angel with shining silver hair .
The duchess greeted the guest, " Welcome, Mrs. Matthias. "
The guest smiled softly and spoke in a gentle voice to the Duchess." You are my close friend Hannah , why are you calling me Mrs. Matthias? Just call me Eveline or Eva as you used to ."
Hannah asked with a worried expression, " but ,how can I do that? Now you are The Archduke's wife and the mother of the only heir . How can I address Madam like before ?"
Eveline smiled and held Hannah's hand " My friend , I am still your old Eva so call me Eva .By the way , is that cute baby your little princess?" Eveline asked to look at the child hiding behind her mother's dress.
Realizing that the archduchess noticed her , Andrea came forward and greeted her in noble manner, " Greeting Mrs. Eveline , I am Andrela Kovinsons , youngest daughter of Kovinsons Duke and Duchess " "oh my , how cute and elegant, Hannah did you teach this baby to do such a noble and formal greeting?" Eveline asked with a playful eyes filled with admiration towards Andrea.
Hannah smiled and told, " Okay okay ,I will call you Eva , if you don't take offence Mrs. Eveline, but before we speak about my baby , how about you take a seat?"
They both laughed and went towards the seat .
There was a round table prepared for the Duchess (Hannah ) , Archduchess (Eveline) and baby Andrea .
The table was filled with snacks , biscuits , cake , macaroons and tea .
Eveline was the daughter of a rich count while Hannah was the daughter of a powerful Marquess family .
They both were precious treasures and cherished children of their family .
First time Hannah and Eveline met were at the boarding school where all noble children attended before their marriage.
Hannah selected class related to noble etiquette and sewing while Eveline was interested in Swordsmanship.
The only class they attended in common was maths class.
Hannah and Eveline were prodigal in their chosen classes except for Maths .
They both were so weak in maths that the professor used to punish them to stand outside for not completing homework or for not answering the questions.
