A woman with long silky-smooth silver hair and dark red eyes writes in her journal , she stood up and walked across the room , she sees a letter, she picked it up and read it,
" From: Dutchess: Evangeline Cross
To: Historia Hail
As you know tension between the factions have risen due to the succesion between the two Prince's, the Hartly , the Fritz and the Evertons have all decided to side with the First Prince while your father Hector Hail, Me and the baron of Gregoria have chosen to side with the Second Prince and as you may know, Count Hartly has gotten more and more influential over this past few months so I advise you to escape while you can Historia for this political conflict will only get worse."
As Historia reads the last part of the letter she hears footsteps around in her home,
A maid barged in to her room
" My lady the Count family of Hartly has sent there army here we have to escape "
The maid said
" what!? " Historia said in with a shocked expression
The maid and Historia rushed to escape but the counts army has cornered them
Count Hartly: Historia Hail look at you now it's been 10 years since I last saw you too bad ill have to kill you here
The maid rushed in between them " my lady run! " the maid said
Historia saw what the maid did she hesitated a bit,
Historia: I..but faline
Maid( faline ): go my years of serving you were the best years of my life so my lady live o-( Gift/ability been used )
Faline was cut short the Count stabed her with his sword
" hope it works " faline thought before falling to the ground,
Historia was shocked but as the Faline said she ran as fast as she possible could towards the forest, exhausted she panted , she saw a bridge leading to the Cross Dutchy's estate but as she crossed it she saw the terrible tragedy that had unfolded the estate has been set ablaze along with with the Dutchess Evangeline Cross , tears fell from Historia's eyes the Dutchess was like her second mother after her birth mother died on the day of her birth now she too is dead , Historia weeped screamed cursing all of those who had done this to the Dutchess and her people, but as she cried a sword pierced through her chest it was the Count Hartly's sword, Historia coughed up blood , the Count pulled back his sword ready to strike again but now Historia was able to dodge by jumping forward as she did she grabbed a rock and throw it torwards the Count, but the Count didn't even flinch he sliced the rock with his sword as if it were a piece of paper,
Count hartly: You rascal of a child did you really think that could hurt me! The count said mockingly, Historia froze in her place she couldn't move the wound hurt and she was losing huge amounts of blood , the Count showed no mercy and wasted no time and took Historia by the hair and dragged her across the Cross dutchy's estate he brought her to the Dutchess burth body, "you see even the Dutchy couldn't beat the great Hartly family" the Count said in a mocking and sick cunning voice, Historia saw the lifeless and burned body of the Dutchess she cried and struggled but due to the blow to her chest she couldn't do much since she's losing lots of blood " MONSTER!, THE DUTCHESS AND FALINE WERE GOOD PEOPLE THEY DIDN'T DESERVE TO LOSE THERE LIFE! " Historia screamed to the Count, but the Count only laughed and mockingly said
" I don't care whether they deserved it or not but since you love them so much ill let you meet them now " as the Count said those words he pirced his sword through Historia's throat effectively killing her.
" so that's it, that's how I die weird it's peaceful " Historia thought as she drifted in to slumber
" Huh? " , " what I'm alive? " Historia said bewildered " what where I'm I?" She asked herself " wait is this not my room?" She wondered " it is , it truly is " she said to herself in amazement , someone opened the door to her room it was FALINE , Historia jolted and turned faline was alive, she sprinted towards faline and hugged her " your fine..." Historia tearfully said " huh my lady what are you talking about " faline said confused , faline sensed that Historia was extremely saddened so without a word she huged her back " my lady I do not understand what you mean but if it makes you feel better I'm completely fine " faline said , Historia realised that she must have travelled through time/reborn for when she checked falines scar on the back of her neck it was gone which indicated one thing at the time of her death in the past she had used her gift of life on Historia , " what year is it faline? " Historia asked to make a guess on the timeliness of events to construct a plan " its year 3837? Why do you ask my lady are you worried for your upcoming debutante ball? " faline asked " no not really " Historia replied " so it's I should be around 7 to 8 months before the Kings death since my debutante ball is going to be held in 2 months, I can use this to my advantage!" Historia thought to herself, " amm...my lady could you let me go? " faline asked " oh yeah " Historia said as she loosen her hug setting faline free
" amm I Don't know what's wrong my lady since you seem off but today is an important day it's the day you and your father pick out your dress and your brothers magic examination test so please if you have any thing bothering you Don't hesitate to tell me My lady" faline said trying to comfort Historia " thanks faline but I'm fine haha" Historia replied.
After that a few hours passed, Historia and her father went to buy a dress for her, at the shop of the Madame Lucia ( the owner of the best boutique in the empire ), the madam greeted them
" it's an honor to have such esteemed guest here " the madam said bowing " the pleasures ours " Hector Hail said, they went inside the boutique , while browsing the selection a certain dress captured Historias eyes its was a sleek ,floor-length ,satin dress in a shade of ivory , it had a mermaid silhouette with a beautiful faux-fur that draped over the shoulder ,
Madame Lucia: "My what spectacular taste you have if I say so my self that dress is my newest and most popular dress yet almost all nobel women what it" the madam said " if so will take it " Historia's father said , Historia was a bit taken by suprise since her father didn't even hesitate to buy it , later that day the two of them went to a sweets store there they bought macarons and cake to bring to her brother , at the Academy of Briston Hail " brother! " Historia said " ah! Historia father your both here!" Briston said a bit shocked of there sudden appearance "of course were here we would miss your Examinations you know "Hector said "yeah" Historia exclaimed Briston chuckled "I guess your here to watch my Magic Exams and since you probably are I have a reason to show off" Briston said seemingly proud of him self,
The Exams went well and Briston was Placed Second after the Second Prince , Historia and her Father congratulated the Prince and Briston for there Performances and left to head home since Briston and the Prince would have to stay in the Academy for the time being, at home Historia headed straight to her room to device a plan to avoid the downfall of there family.
