We will not remain the same, we all change, whether for better or worse, and this was the beginning of the beginning.
With the passage of time and days, we will forget what happened, the times that we promised ourselves that we would not forget, or the hobbies that we were obsessed with, will be forgotten with the days.
When we want to forget a painful memory, and when we have the choice to achieve this wish, the truth of humanity will become clear, is it curiosity, or do we say greed?
I don't know, calling him what you think might be.
This will ease as soon as he feels that there is a lack of his memory, he will make an effort to find out the unknown and hidden memories. I did not think that forgetting would make me miserable.
I know, I didn't believe it at first! Just at
the beginning!
So, if you have the option, what would you prefer?
The truth?
As for forgetting?

Family Palace of the Duke of Orléans)
"Ma'am, where are you??"
She raised her foot to reach the high book. When she was holding the book, she heard the voice of her personal maid, Carla, calling to him, "It's getting late. Are you really reading this long, ma'am? You really are, ahhh~sigh."
She turned to look at her
(Lana Orleans, the Duke's only daughter)
"Okay, I'm bored, so I wanted to spend my time reading. What's the matter, Carla?"
"It's time for you to appear. Today is your eighteenth birthday, and it's time for you to go to the Emperors Academy. Ahhh~ Sigh, oh my God, how will you live alone? There is no one who will remind you of the time of classes. I think you will spend your time reading."
"..."
"Why do you think that?"
"You really ask, ma'am!!"
"....."
"Don't worry, I won't forget. I don't know why my father decided this matter and came?!"
But I think I will miss the time sitting in the palace all the time and reading books. I just hope they don't make me do stressful work."
"Well, you should do this. I think it is not easy to enter an academy like this, since you are the daughter of the Duke. They definitely agreed."
"Nevertheless, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh I don't want to do stressful work!!" I looked at the maid tiredly
"Let's go, ma'am, or we'll be late for your birthday party."
------------
(In front of the door of Lana's eighteenth birthday party hall)
Lana looked at her family, who were already looking at her, her father to see her
(Duke of Orleans)
"What were you doing with this really important time?" He looked at Lana, waiting for a reasonable response from her.
Lana: Well, I was reading a book.
The father shook his head, "Really?! You're really obsessed."
(Axel Orleans younger brother)
"Sister, you are really funny, haha."
Lana smiled at her younger brother, winked at him, and looked at the other family members, her older brother, her younger brother, and her mother.
The Duke looked at the guards to open the door to the celebration hall
"Okay, time to come in."
The guards opened the door to the celebration hall when these words were said. Everyone turned to this family, which is respected by the royal family and the second richest family in the Kingdom of Athens, and which is distinguished by the strange color of their eyes, red.
All eyes were on them, especially the duke's only daughter. Lana felt the attention around her as well. She did not like to be surrounded by attention.
Lana was a very beautiful girl with the descriptions of goodness and beauty. She had black hair and bloodshot eyes. She was wearing a red dress that showed her shoulders.
All the nobles began to approach the family and offer their blessings to the Duke's daughter and his family that she will study in the best academy and on her birthday.
After time passed, Lana began to feel more bored and uncomfortable. It was difficult for someone who loved to be isolated to be surrounded by many people, and because she was forced to answer the questions of the curious attendees, she went to the outside balcony to breathe air and escape from that place.
"I still hate banquet times. They are boring and there is nothing fun about them. I hope to have fun when I go to the academy," she started talking to herself as she placed her hands on the balcony wall.
Sigh~
She raised her head to the star-studded sky decorated with the white moon, "Mom, do you see that today I have grown a year older, and tomorrow I will start a new life in the academy? I don't know why I feel as if I will not return here, and this feeling makes me afraid and lost and...."
She stopped talking and then closed her eyes and shook her head to get that thought out of her mind.
With a slight smile that decorated his face and made it more beautiful, she said, "It's nothing. No matter what, I will stand firm. Isn't that what you always say?"
But no one responded, only the sound of the wind as if trying to console him. The smile turned into sadness...
In fact, her father married another woman after her mother's death because he could not take care of her alone, so Edith Marks, the Duke's wife, took care of her.
Lana's mother, Seraphina West, died when Lana was nine years old. Lana's memories at that time are blurry. She only remembers a few things.
After some time had passed, I went inside...
------------
(Tomorrow morning, the gate of the Duke's Palace)
The family gathered to bid farewell to the daughter. Lana looked at her family and saw her younger brother
Axel Orlean was trying not to cry. She looked at him with a chuckle
"Why are you crying, Axel? I will get you a present when I get back, so don't cry, okay?"
Looking at his older sister, Lana opened her hands so she could hug her brother. Axel happily went to hug her sister.
"Promise me you will come back and play with me!!!"
He raised his head and said it in a funny way. Lana looked at her brother, "My brother is nice, yes, I promise you that."
After that, the Duke's wife said goodbye, "Lana, be careful not to get sick and eat well, okay??"
She shook her head as if she heard this thing a lot, "Yes, yes, don't worry."
She raised her head to look at her younger brother, Edwin Orleans.
He had blond hair and red eyes, looking to the other side, looking like he didn't know what to do.
Sigh~
Lana sighed and went to hug her brother because she knew that he would never do this. He had always been like this and did not know what to do in emotional times, so she did it first.
"Sister, I wish you a safe and safe journey."
She looked at her brother in surprise because her words stopped, "And??"
"Don't forget to come back"
Lana looked at her brother in amazement and then smiled, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back when I have time."
Then she went to her father and hugged him and said goodbye to him, "Lana, go safely and do not get hurt. Know that we are always here waiting for your return."
"I know, I will definitely come back."
She smiled at her worried father and headed to the carriage. After bidding them farewell, it was time to go to the academy. By nightfall, she would arrive at the student housing.
Lana looked at the window, "I wonder what awaits me in the future?"
She shook her head, trying to forget what she said now . Now she alone and needed to think about something important.
"I need to know more about this cat," she said to herself.
