Celestial was pushed into her room forcefully by a man who was none other than Lexion. With a face filled with anger, the man stared intently at his own little sister who had begged him not to be locked up in the room.
"I beg you! Don't lock me up in this room, I haven't done anything wrong!" she pleaded to those currently standing before her.
Not only Lexion, but Roxarion, their parents and also Eleanor were there. They stared at Celestial with a look of dislike, hating that woman who was part of their family.
"Didn't do anything wrong? You think by treating Eleanor badly, you're saying you didn't do anything wrong?!" Roxarion snapped at his younger sister.
"I didn't do it because I wanted to, none of it was really my doing! But she's the one trying to accuse me of hurting her! Why don't you believe me?!" asked Celestial with tears streaming down her face at her family.
But her family still didn't believe her, even when Celestial tried to stand up and hold her mother's hand, Roxarion immediately pushed her until she fell back to the center of the room.
They then left her still trying to tell them that she had done nothing wrong. But it was too late, they locked Celestial's room and left her alone right in her own room just hours before she was found dead in a terrible fire.
Flashback End
A man sat silently in the palace garden looking up at the sky. His golden eyes looked so empty, even though his mind was constantly occupied by something he couldn't understand.
Inside his head was a lot of conflict that was currently happening, thinking about his fiancée, Celestial, who had been acting strangely to him lately. Actually he didn't feel surprised by her attitude, it was just that he felt worried about what she was thinking.
He was worried that she would suddenly change her mind or think of things she shouldn't and that it would make him feel frustrated.
"Sometimes there are many things I don't understand about her. I have to keep learning again every time I meet Celest. All of this is indeed my fault, if only I wasn't so careless in doing things. Celest wouldn't be like this," he said.
"Women are hard to understand, you really have to learn about them every day. Because surely what they think that day will be different from yesterday." Suddenly he heard the voice of a woman walking towards him, when he turned his head it was his younger sister, Cecilia.
A woman with blonde hair and pink eyes, walked over to him who was sitting alone at the moment. She sat next to him and began to ask what was bothering her brother's mind at that time.
But Moran said that this was not something important to discuss. He just felt that he needed to understand more about his fiancée before they got married.
"Why are you suddenly thinking about that? Don't say that you've become hesitant to marry Celestial. Wait, you're not really feeling hesitant about it are you?" Cecilia asked him.
Of course he shook his head. "I'm not saying that I'm feeling hesitant about marrying her. It's just that I'm worried if she's the one who feels hesitant to marry me."
"And why do you feel that way? Did Celestial do something or maybe get close to other nobles that you think she has doubts about your marriage," she said again more seriously, because Cecilia felt that this was something that had to be discussed so that there would be no more doubts between Moran and Celestial.
However, he could not answer that question and only said that it was probably just his feelings. He knew that there were a lot of nobles near Celestial, but he was sure that she would not approach them romantically.
"But lately she's been looking different since Eleanor's arrival. You know, the child who was adopted a few months ago by Duke Damanor's?"
Cecilia listened well to everything Moran said. Until Moran mentioned the name Eleanor who was Celestial's step-sister. Until now she had never met the girl either, and how when Moran started mentioning her name it made Cecilia curious.
"So far I've heard that Celestial spends more time together with Eleanor. So I feel like there's no need to worry about anything let alone knowing that Celestial is with another noble man," Moran explained.
"Eleanor, what is she like? I occasionally hear her name mentioned but I haven't had the chance to meet that woman yet. Where did she come from and is she familiar with you?"
Moran explained what he knew about Eleanor. He was sorry for what happened to the soft woman, saying what happened to her was not what she deserved.
"There are so many bad rumors about her, I don't understand where they come from. But for a woman as delicate as Eleanor, it feels so bad to hear all the gossip about her plus her parents who recently passed away," he said.
"Yes, I understand that. You're quite concerned about her, hmn?"
"Me? No, I was just telling you what I saw of her."
He continued to tell everything to Cecilia until their eldest brother came and invited Moran to train their troops as usual.
"It's time for training today. I'm going to put you to the test, so let's go to the barracks field now," Delon ordered as he turned to their youngest sister. "Do you want to come with us Cecilia?"
But this time it was different, Cecilia shook her head, refusing Delon's invitation today because she said she had business to do. But when Delon asked what business she was going to do.
"Business? What kind of business do you have outside of our knowledge?"
"Right, you don't usually refuse to participate in training let alone testing the royal troops," said Moran who knew that the beautiful woman really liked it when she had to use the sword in her hand.
Only she smiled and stood up from her seat.
"This is a woman's business. Men should not know about it."
As Delon and Moran left, Cecilia called her personal maid and asked her to prepare some things before she came to visit someone.
After a few minutes of preparing things, the maid asked her where they were going that she had to prepare some things to bring.
"You even asked me to prepare flowers and gifts. Where are we going Princess Cecilia?"
She turned to the woman she called Mary, looked at her with a serious expression. Saying that it was time for her to pay visit someone she had not seen in a long time.
"It is time for me to visit my future sister-in-law."
