Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Prologue

"You've blossomed into a fine young lady," her mother, Joanna Florence, the Duchess, said with a warm smile as she approached Ariana. However, Ariana's nose scrunched, nearly repulsed by the display.

"Well... erm... yeah, I won't be forever a kid right?" She bluntly responded, slowly pushing the woman away, and turned her attention to the family who had abandoned her since birth.

"Ariana, we're glad to have you back," Her eldest brother told her, She looked at him who had shining blue eyes and blonde hair, and looked like their father

Axel Dave Florence, 22 years of age, the future Duke of Florence, her Eldest Brother

Allen Jay Florence, 20 years of age, her second Eldest Brother, is the owner of a clothing brand,

"Hmm, charm" She could only fake a smile at them, not wanting to interact with the family, as she fully knew them well,

She brushed her white locks and locked eyes with her father, "I need to rest, it's been quite a long journey for me to get here" She started and looked around the Florence Mansion, which is quite large, knowing their fortune

Her Father, Edward Florence, the Current head of the family,

"Of course, Sally" Father snapped his finger, and then the maid came running in their direction

"Yes, Your Grace?" The redhead maid bowed at them, wearing the usual black and white dress, with her hair being kept

"Escort Ariana, back to her room so she can rest" he ordered, "Yes, Your Grace" the maid with red hair then bowed 90 degrees at them, properly receiving the order from the Duke

"My Lady, this way please" She gave Ariana a short bow before she went to where she would be staying,

"See you around, Father, Mother, Brothers" she bid them goodbye as she followed the maid towards her room, her eyes kept on roaming every inch of the house,

She noticed that each maid would politely bow at her, giving her respect as the only daughter of the family, it went like that to every maid they encountered until they arrived at her room,

"Here's your room, My Lady, I hope that you'll be satisfied with the design, if not, you can request the chamberlain to replace something that will suit your taste," Sally told her, and as usual with her short bow, not looking at her in the eye,

Her eyes roamed around the room, as her brows furrowed, noticing something that the design looked the same as that she had in her room back at the cottage,

She took a glance at the maid, as she shook her head in disappointment, "No, it's fine, this room looks great, you can leave now, Thank you" she told Sally, who suddenly bowed at her lower and then properly stand up,

"Let me know if you need something, My Lady"

She smiled at the maid, giving her a small wave, as she saw her slowly walk away from her room, after noticing that she was gone from her sight, she frowned, put her hand down, and went inside her room, closing the door shut

"How unbelievable..." she let out a loud sigh, as she snapped her fingers twice, when all of a sudden, a magical person appeared in front of her, she had short blue hair and white eyes, wearing a small dress, her eyes roamed around the room

"It looked like you haven't left home, master"

"They're better prepared than I thought" Ariana muttered as she slouched on the couch, liking the feeling of relax

"Anyways, Spring, can you please contact Lily that I can't send my manuscript for my new book, I'll be too busy acting as the Young lady of Florence, ugh" she groaned, as soon as she finished giving orders to her subordinate

"I understand Master, but would you stay here in the Florence Mansion Forever?" she heard her subordinate ask with a hint of worry in her voice, handing her master a book with a brown cover, and also giving her tea

"Well, Not forever, I figured they need me to be wed to someone, for political reasons, so I'll be living with my husband then," she said, taking the book that was handed to her, slowly flipping in the pages till she came to the right page using her right hand,

"Are you sure whatever you have written here would come true Master?"

She heard her subordinate say, as she then let out a small smile, and she looked at her with an innocent face, making Spring gulp in fear, Knowing what is the meaning behind her innocent smile, she then took the teacup and took a small sip,

"You know how I hate being doubted upon, right my dear?" She told Spring, as she then let go of the teacup, resulting in a loud crash, breaking the teacup to pieces, injuring her hand,

Spring then gulped in fear, as she then gave her a respectful bow, "I'm sorry for doubting Master" she said, as she then started to clean up the mess but was stopped by her, she looked at the injured hand, as blood then slowly was seen, blood as red as her eyes, she then let out a small smile

"Don't, I'll have the maids here in the Duchy, to clean up"

*knock* *knock*

"My lady! Are you alright?!"

Both of them hear a knock on the door, and both of them look at each other, She then lets out a small smile, giving her a gesture to leave, Spring gives her master one last bow before she magically disappears in the room,

"I'm alright! It's just the teacup fell and injured my hand!" She responded to the maid who was still outside of her room,

She then stood up from her seat, and then walked towards the door, slowly then opening it, facing a maid with fear in her eyes,

"My lady! Are you alright?!?" The Maid worriedly asks, as her eyes then wander in the room to see some shattered pieces with the blood of the teacup and to her hand, her eyes widen in shock

"Oh my god! Let's get you treated this instant!" The maid panicked, and she then went to run and looked for the medicine kit,

'How amusing'

She thought as she looked at her hand with blood dripping, and in a split second, she saw the maid return to her room, Her face frowned only to see that her mother was with her,

"Ariana! Are you OK?!"
