*******************
"...one of the most beautiful noble maidens in the city....at young age she still has the charm to bewitch men..."
A young girl with black hair appears with a beautiful face and an attractive smile that brightened the vision.
"....Valiot…... what do you mean by you've gotten involved with the wrong witch…" a woman's voice yelled.
"The Grand prostitute witch …... Malefic Lyon ....What has Lord Valiot done to get involved with a mere harlot….. I'm disgusted!"
"I loved her before I was forced to make this family of ours ..... Malefic used to be the love of my life!..."
"Sorry for disturbing this beautiful family's peace but if you were in my place you'd do worse …..You can never know the pain of losing the love of your life.....and I'll never let your daughter know love ,maybe she'd avoid this pain that way ...…"
A woman appeared with red hair in the darkness….she had black apparels cover her from neck to feet down .
"I curse you.....on your sixteenth birthday you'll get pricked by a rose thorn and from them you'll fall into eternal slumber and only the true love kiss can awaken you from my curse.....i hope you find true love before then….."
A loud crackle of evil laughter filled the palace as the dark shadows erased and light came back to the palace.
"She has been Cursed ….. avoid her always…."
"Cut down all the rose bushes in our entire vicinity...please we can't afford our daughter to end up in a deep sleep till eternity!"
"Run away from her…. she's cursed !"
"Malefic has been exiled but her spells will still live on ….. I'm afraid there might be no way to save our daughter except burning down the entire rose bushes in the city."
************************
"Hey ….you dropped this pretty girl…" A white haired man tapped on the girl with black hair and she looked back to see a overly excited, jovial man who smiled at her endlessly while handing out a book to her.
"Pardon my manners miss .... I'm Lord Thorfinn Riven of one of the Aristocratic families - The Rivens ."
He continued to smile at her .
"I'm Theresa Milwell…. First daughter of Lord Valiot of the noble family-The Milwells."
The girl in black hair stared at the white haired man who yelled his head off in excitement as he spoke .
"You must be the pretty damsel from that family...the jewel from the gods ….mind if i walk with you?...." Thorfinn spoke to her trying to ignite his calmness but he couldn't control himself from blurting out
"I've a son of about your age …..naa you are prolly older than him with 3 years ...you are 15 right... my little devil is just 12…."
Theresa stared at him in an uncomfortable way…."I want you to be friends with my little devil"
Thorfinn said as he stops Theresa on the road and turns her to face him as soon as he crouches.
"I'm sorry…... but....i can't...…" tears began to drop from her eyes….
"What….why ?....." Thorfinn looked at her puzzled at why she was tearing up "Am I to scary or did I approach you with a harsh behavior?"
Theresa looked into his eyes "If you haven't heard the pretty damsel of the Milwell family is cursed ….. and i only have one year left to live before i go into eternal hibernation….besides i heard my curse is communicable,so I don't want to drag anyone into my troubles." Theresa started to pour out tears from her eyes.
Suddenly she felt the heart beat on someone on her body as she saw her self huddled close in a hug with Thorfinn….her mind quickly found light and the atmosphere changed.
"Whatever is going on that little head of yours….forget about it...I and my little devil promise to make your last year awake get colorful" Thorfinn said and Theresa smiled as she rested on his shoulder.
"Come by the Riven Manor if you change your mind ....I'll be waiting…...Little head…" Thorfinn said as he broke the hug.
Suddenly Theresa's happy face shrunk into a sad face that was about to burst into tears .
"Who you calling little head ...." Suddenly she burst into tears and then everyone turned to give Thorfinn a disgusted look ....
Thorfinn started back at them as he smiled nervously at the crowd " It wasn't intended as an insult...i wasn't body shaming…..and trust me it wasn't rape …...I have three kids older than her…. (ꏿ﹏ꏿ;)"
...…
"Thorfinn Sama …...that man gave me hope all again but then even if he's the most important person in my life there's someone way more important than him " Theresa said in her vision.
"But there's someone who gained a more important place in my life than Thorfinn Sama…."
Then images of a cute white haired 12 year old boy appeared in the vision.
" My little devil…..Romeo….."
*************
"Theresa .... I'm bored have anything fun to do ?...." The white haired boy asked staring at Theresa with a boredom struck face.
"if it isn't Mr uninterested personality getting bored for the first time in his life ….besides add respect to my name Donkey!...T-h-e-r-e-s-a C-h-a-n! " Theresa bellowed as she stared at the white haired boy with killer eyes .
"Theresa…... I'm gonna find something else to do ….thanks for nothing….too bad I feigned boredom to hang out with you for reals and you rejected me ...….sigh." The white haired boy said as he turned around to walk away.
"You tried to find interest just so you could hang out with me.... that's the nicest thing you've ever done Donkey .... But if you haven't changed your mind well enough... I'm free." Theresa smiles.
"Sakura mountain then.... a little hiking trip to see those beautiful leaves fall ,it's their time of the year. " The white haired boy said.
Then the vision is soon taken over by an image of two kids sitting on a mountain as Sakura blossom leaves falls on them .
"So from tomorrow on …...I won't be seeing you again….cause you'll be snuggling tight in bed?.." The white haired boy asked as small traces of sadness appeared in his voice.
"uhhh Yosh ….. I'm gonna miss Thorfinn Sama scream that everytime 'Yosh'... hahahaha" Theresa burst into laughter but as soon as she noticed the sad atmosphere she turned to look at Nyx who stared into the valley below them.
"Will you miss me ?....." Theresa looked at the white haired boy as he kicked the air as he sat at the edge of the cliff of the mountain.
"Prolly not…...but I'll never forget I had a friend like you....but to be fair I want you to stay…." The white haired boy said as he continued to stare into the valley below.
"And why is that….?" Theresa said as small tear drops start to fall down her face ..
"Being my second friend…...I always wanted you to appear in every chapter of the book I write…..as that one person i call on alongside others to back me up...." The tear drops frequently fall from Theresa's face .
"I wanted us to write the whole book of life together as friends…." The white haired boy said and immediately he felt Theresa hugging him.
"hey donkey…... what's the best thing you like the most."
"prolly the beauty of these Sakura blossoms…...i always loved their color from onset."
Theresa stood up and ran down the mountain, leaving the white haired boy alone on the cliff.
***************
"The curse has manifested…...how did a rose bushes enter the Milwell castle .... My beautiful daughter has fallen into slumber."
"i'm sorry I can't continue to take care of some child that wouldn't wake up…. I'm moving to our house in paradise ranch…."
"sorry Theresa…...we just can't keep up with all these …... I'm so sorry your family is abandoning you…..forgive us."
The voices of people speaking to her as she was stuck in a dark space held back by rose bushes…...tears fell out of her eyes.
Creak ...
"She's still asleep after four years…... I'm afraid she might never be saved again…." Theresa heard the voice of the maid that stood by her all through.
"I don't believe in that....Theresa is like my daughter I'll save her no matter what I do…." Theresa recognized the voice as Thorfinn's and she couldn't help but smile while wrapped in Rose bushes,stuck in a dark space.
"The cure is a kiss from her prince charming….and that might not be possible she never really had make friends while she was awake." the maid spoke again .
Then footsteps were heard in the castle...as a figure was seen by the others walking into the hall where Theresa was catered for.
"You might be wrong there ....madame Verlotta ..."
Theresa recognized the voice as that of someone she recognized well.
Then she felt a warmth of another body touching hers ...
"You decided to Dye your beautiful black hair pink for me?..... talk about obsession…. hahaha " the voice spoke again this time Theresa could hear it closer then she felt the roses free her and she broke free from it …...she immediately moved towards the light she had always saw from the dark she was held in .
Theresa opened her eyes In her real body and saw her lips conjoined with someone else's she looked at the person and saw a white haired boy of about 16 years of age.
The boy broke the kiss then rants of cheers from the people in the castle filled the streets.
Theresa sat up and looked at the white haired boy in the eyes …..
"You can't leave your prince charming wondering around whilst you have your beauty sleep…..i don't always have the energy to barge in a play the hero everytime…." the white haired boy smiled at Theresa who smiled back at him.
"I always knew you would come in shining armor….." Theresa teased.
"Shining armor….if uniform are your picture of shining armor then I'm fine with it…." the white haired boy said as he chuckled.
Theresa put her finger on his lips to shut him up ….. she then dragged him to the hall on the top floor.
They both stood huddled up in a hug as Theresa placed her head on his chest.
"What an irony….I used to be the shorter one... now look what we have here."
"Stop teasing me…... I'm still your senior….. T-h-e-r-e-s-a C-h-a-n….." and said and she immediately giggled
"I love you donkey…." Theresa said as she tightened her grip around him.
"i love you too.....Thorny Thorny Beauty sleeper ….." The white haired boy said
"you're so bad with nicknames…." both of them laughed as the rays of sunset shone on them .
************
"The best Knight Aspirant…...ever….."
"she has surpassed her seniors …...she is as strong as a grand commander now!"
*********
"Oi Oi Pan....I want you to take Theresa in as your supreme Knight….. I'll never make a bad choice for you ….."
"i recognize her prowess and strength... she's the only woman that has showed potential…..and after all she has gone through….. she deserves the chance….."
********""
"Tesa…...I heard something about you planning to change your name…." an image of her and the white haired boy sitting on a swing.
"Yes…..I want to break my ties with those damned Milwells...."
"Anyways I just wanted to let you know I'll be here no matter what you change…"
"i figured….." Theresa said as she smiled at the white haired boy.
"so can I name you…?" The white haired boy asked hiding his excitement and keeping his calm expression.
"I'm not someone's pet …... but I trust that you'll give me the best name."
"Veronica is well suited to replace Theresa …..unnhhhh ahhhh….. Judging by your connection to time …... I'll name you after the time god... Veronica Chronos." the white haired boy said as he stared into her eyes .
**********
"The first youngest female supreme Knight…..she broke two records of recognition at 20 years old."
"Ms.Theresa Milwell...now Ms.Veronica Chronos….. soon to be daughter-in-law of the Riven family "
"A beautiful elegant couple…."
The vision is changed into a image of both Veronica and the white haired boy sitting at the Sakura mountain cliff edge staring into the valley as Sakura blossom leaves fell on them both.
"The first Ever female supreme Knight….and even the first Supreme Knight of Chief Pan's tenure " The white haired boy said as he planted a kiss on Veronica's forehead.
"The fancy ring around our fingers are the evidence of our marriage…... so tell all those high school girls to back off okay..." Veronica yelled at The white haired boy playfully
"It's not their fault that you got married to someone young enough to be your younger brother….unh …... T-h-e-r-e-s-a C-h-a-n…." The white haired boy teased and the image saw him and Veronica playing on Sakura mountain.
***************
"Veronica.... I'm sorry...i couldn't save him ….."
A new image appears as Veronica is seen in a dark state ….. screaming her lungs out and nearly losing her mind.
"No...no ...no...no !...he was there for me throughout….. and he had to let me down when had his back.
Then images of Every picture the white haired boy appeared in were being burnt to ashes…...new images of Veronica are seen as her personality completely changed.
" Veronica...…"
"Veronica ...."
"Veronica San..."
*************
"Veronica San….."
"Veronica !..."
Veronica jolted back from her memories....and she saw Julius and Ark staring at her.
Then she heard the familiar voice.
"I kinda remember something about writing a book together...( PS: he was lying he was using the realm of consciousness to tap into her memories.)" Nyx said .
Then Veronica dashed towards him and hugged him tightly…
"Nyx….Nyx....Nyx....I ..." tears began to fall from her eyes as he she held on to Nyx who held Vance.
"I missed you..." Ark and Julius stared cluelessly at Nyx held on and spoke to Veronica.
"I missed you my best friend..." Suddenly Veronica's contenace changed.
"Best friend ?....." Veronica stared in his eyes …..Then she saw a calm cool face of Nyx that affirmed Positively to her question.
Immediately she pulled back from him and turned around…."get some clothes on…...you and Vance I'll wait for you all in the chariot."
Ark Pendragon stared at Veronica walk away. He turned to look at Nyx and his serious expression took over just then , Julius popped up before him "I think Veronica likes Thorfinn junior …..(ꏿ﹏ꏿ;)".
Ark Pendragon ignored him and walked over to Nyx and Vance...
"Whatever went on before we arrived here….i need answers....."
"About that ….a particular house has a giant hole in it send some dudes through that hole to save those children…...Vance has done enough by fighting the three terrorist brothers himself". Nyx said as he walked towards the carriage that brought him and Nyx before.
"Terrorists….as I thought…...I want to get to the bottom of this and I might need those two …."Ark Pendragon thought in his head.
He stared at both of them walks towards their carriage .
"Vance Sama …. the carriage waited for us for over 2-3 hours …...i feel we should tip him…...i have no ideas of your denominations though so we'll just give him like the highest denominations." Nyx said as he carried Vance into the carriage.
"Are you crazy!...I should spend a poker as a tip that's even way more than the carriage's price…. I'll have to teach you that again? Bast !" Vance yelled.
"Although I've never met him before…..i heard he doesn't possess magic....but deep down in him I felt like he was hiding Mana ." Ark spoke to himself .
"Three brothers of such strength can't be handled by Vance alone …...Nyx has some secret…." Ark said in his head again.
"Hey!... Hairy tail -Kun …...we might need to get going….Vance is already passing into nigtie night mode!" Nyx yelled from the carriage's window.
"Hey ....Nyx ....WALL LUMINUS….. Early tommorow morning....get directions from your servants." Ark Pendragon yelled at Nyx as he and Julius walked into a carriage they flagged down.
