In a room filled with shiny jewels and dresses a woman Historia Hail writes in her journal,
" At that time the Count pierced through my core which is why II couldn't use my abilities which was weird because it couldn't have been a coincidence since usually the count likes to kill the enemies immediately could it be he figured that what my ability was no that can't be it no one knows not even my own father." Historia wrote in her journal " hmm even if he figured, I still can use that info against him I can just incriminate him somehow but how and when" Historia thought to herself "OH!" Historia suddenly had a revolution " I could use the second Prince, I'll be easy since I know when the emperor( king ) dies , that's Atleast 3 months after my debutante ball then my death in the past was a few months after his death so I have around 7 to 8 , I'll be better if I can achieve what I'm after in under 6 months so I can rest assured, " Historia thought to her self she figured she could use the Second Prince but how, " hmm maybe a contractual marriage? No that put me in a disadvantage the second Prince is way too young but I can't side with the first Prince the only other option is but ah..that's not really a good idea but I really need to survive, I guess it's not the worse idea since lady Evangeline won't object but still from what I heard the young Duke Cross is the opposite to his mother...and another problem is im not sure when his returning...but if i do this i cant utilise the second prince but i guess its better than nothing" as Historia was deep in thought the she received a letter from the Dutchess Evangeline the letter read
" From: Dutchess Evangeline Cross
To:Historia Hail
Historia it's been such a long time since last had tea together if you don't mind would you care to join me for tea tomorrow at my estate , it'll be more like a morning tea rather than a tea party and I hope you don't mind dear tommorow is my sons long awaited return, I would love for you to meet my son. "
When Historia read the letter she was delighted she was given an opportunity and she had thought of a way to use this as a way for her to get closer to the young Duke , she thanked the gods for the opportunity, " now that this opportunity has shown it self to me I need to utilise it properly , first what to wear?, since I don't have much time to prepare a dress I'll have to make use of the ones I have , Wait! , I have that dress the one me and father bought I'll wear that it's nice and sleek but it's still elegant." Historia thought to herself, Historia went to her bed and sat down once again she begun to think " the second thing is how do I actually get closer to him , I mean based on the rumers circulating about him his about 6 foot and was born with emence strength and that he has a cold personality completely polar opposite to the Dutchess so how do I do it hmm.." As Historia was thinking a maid knocked at her rooms door, it was faline
Faline: "My lady your father is calling for you"
Faline said
Historia: " tell him I'll be there in just a minute " Historia replied
" Maybe I could ask father how him and Mom meet and how he fell in love maybe then ill have a clue on what to do " Historia thought as she stood up walking towards the door and opening it , as she stepped out of the room she closed the door and headed straight to her father's room ,
Historia: "Did you need something Father?"
-
Hector: "I'm just letting you know tommorow the son of the Dutchess Cross is returning, I heard his quite good looking."
-
Historia: "I know the lady told me and are you trying to set me up with him why comment on his appearance? Not that I object but tell me the truth!"
-
Hector:"Alright you caught me but I'm doing it for you I want you to marry someone who's capable of protecting you after im gone."
-
Historia:"why are you making such jokes it's not funny..."
-
Hector:" You know better than anyone that the current king is nearing his end and its only a matter of time which is why I'm worried."
-
Historia:"I know but why say such words it's not like your going to die if the king dies"
Hector chuckled
Hector:"OH child your brilliant but you still have a lot to learn( thoughts[Hector]: she graduated top of her class I'm not worried about her survival as the next family head since I've already decided she's capable of maneging the family affairs but I'm worried about how she'll survive them( other family members;basically those who would object to her succesion to her fathers title ) ( end of thoughts there interrupted).", "I know what you mean but can't we just avoid conflict by settling in a more less brutal way?" Historia said, "OH child those who only seek to boost there power won't settle for just a simple pen and paper agreement and besides the first Prince will do everything to amend the throne " Hector said, Historia was silent she knew very well what her father said was true for she first hand saw what he ment , it may have been her past or rather her first life experience and things might change she herself knew that those thoughts were too far fetch and unrealistic, " So what do you propose we do father?" Historia said " well first you should marry him!" Hector said " huh who?" Historia said a bit confused " the young Duke of Cross" Hector replied " wait is it not a bit too fast it's not that I object ( her thoughts: this is actually favorable to me ) it's just that won't the Duke object?" Historia asked " the Duke is quite sensible and follows his mother's wishes so if she wishes for you to marry he will not object." Hector said " I guess that is true" Historia said, Hector panted Historia's shoulder and said
" go get some rest you still need to go to that tea party tommorow with the Dutchess" , Historia nodded and left,
" I guess that's one more thing off my list but now I still have 2 more things to consider, how do I help the second prince ascend the throne and how do I save my family and the Dutchess's family from falling to the ground " as she was in deep thought she stopped at the front of the door to her room she opened the door , entered her room , closed the door and locked it then she decided to sleep for she was tired " maybe tommorow ill have an answer."
