During the night snowflakes continued to fall slowly from the dark sky, Ferderick stood in front of the back gate of the academy dormitory where his sister studied, wearing a black robe that covered her face.
Duk duk duk, footsteps that are getting closer to Ferderick from behind him.
"sister"
Ferderick turned around when the familiar voice called out to him, but as soon as he turned around, Ferderick was surprised to see the handsome face of his sister who was smiling but had a bluish scar on the corner of her lips.
"How are you doing, brother?" the warm smiling face still looked as cheerful as ever.
"I'm fine, what happened to your face? Did someone hit you? who's that?" at times like this Ferderick will talk a lot. His face is full of worries about what kind of life his sister has lived in the academy which is a dream place for young people to study as a provision for life in the future.
"What's wrong, I fell and my lips hit hehe, don't worry too much I'm an adult" he said, grimacing.
"Cure with your strength"
"So I said I had to keep it a secret, if I wanted to keep it a secret then I wouldn't use it if I didn't press on, it's just a small wound, here a lot of pairs of eyes will be watching"
"Is that so? Tell me if someone hurts you, you understand?"
"Of course, did you eat?" kaisan tried to shift the subject.
"Have you, have you?"
"How are Mr Stev and Mrs Ilona?"
"They're good, come on vacation you'll miss them"
"Well, it's time for the curfew to enter the dorm, I have to go back, brother"
"All right"
"Observe the heart, brother"
"Yes"
Ferderick continued to see his sister's back drifting away, remaining one more year before Kaisan finished his education at the academy, but all this time Ferderick saw the boy did not look happy and free, although he always put a smile in front of Ferderick, now he is getting older, he no longer whines to his brother with the problems he faces, Kaisan often hides his difficulties for himself, as it is today,obviously Ferderick saw the wound on the corner of his lips because of someone's punch but the boy lied and instead covered it up.
Although the social status in the academy is kept secret so that the education in that place remains equal and only based on the ability of each student, but there is often an abuse of power by people from the respectable family in distinguishing the students.
Kaisan several times gets violence from his friend who envies his academic grades superior to the son of a territory ruler, instead of following up on the student who committed violence but the head of the academy behaved as if he had never seen the incident because the student's parents had given him great rewards as a silent wage for him, moreover, he clearly knew Kaisan was a son of a nobleman who had gone bankrupt and lost his domain, there was no reason for the head of the academy who had been blinded by the abundant gold coins to refuse such an opportunity.
What can Kaisan do? He could have told his brother about the violence he had experienced, but he did not want to do that, because he clearly knew what Ferderick was going to do to the man, he thought he just had to hang on for a little while and restore the honor of his family, and freed his brother from his shackles as a hit man.Is that possible?
In contrast to Ferderick who excelled in swordsmanship and physical strength, Kaisan was superior in a field that only required his brain intelligence.Kaisan dreamed of working as an administrative clerk in the Imperial palace.
At a time when Ferderick's mind is in such a frenzy as he is currently doing his job as a hitman is a very good choice, he said, in addition to getting a lot of money he would vent his anger to the dirty nobles who always stepped on ordinary people with his power.
He began to climb onto the rooftop of a mansion belonging to one of the nobles, easily infiltrating into the room, the room he used to cheat on his wife, and his wife, with a single swing of the sword without a sound Ferderick managed to finish his work, When morning came the woman next to him who would find the man covered in blood.
The one who sent the murderer was his own wife, which means the hostess, who had been cheated for years.
*************************
The next day in the cold morning, Rubia woke up from her slumber from feeling someone's touch, Rubia opened her eyes and found someone hugging her under the bed.
"What are you doing Lydia?"
Lydia smiled "Good morning, Your Majesty, sorry that I woke you up, how could you go straight to sleep and not wait for me to see you once I get here?"
"I'm sorry Lydia, I'm so tired"
"What's wrong?"
"Your fiancee Sir Axel Harington has been waiting for you since an hour ago"
"What does that man want? Just disturb"
"You have to get ready and meet him"
"What can I do"
"Your Majesty?"
"What?"
"I'm happy because you've been willing to talk a lot and answer every time I ask"
"Is that something you should be grateful for?"
"Of course" Lydia smiled.
Because Rubia slowly had to get used to communicating with others, she had to start getting used to it slowly, she was no longer a child who could not hide her personal feelings, but still he will talk a little with people he does not like.
Rubia prepares before meeting Axel Harington, prepares with a relaxed so that the man is bored and impatient and then leaves his seat, that is Rubia's hope, he really wanted to look as thick as possible in front of the boy. Because Rubia had not been able to forget how the little boy had humiliated himself before his coach and the Emperor, Rubia had not read at all the dozens of letters sent by the boy,whether rubia was in the palace or on the battlefield, the letter she wrote was thrown into the fireplace.
Rubia opened the door of her room after wearing comfortable clothes for her to practice the sword, she tied her long hair horse. Her personal bodyguard, Dame Fiona Martin, a twenty-seven-year-old female knight with purple-eyed black hair, greeted her at the door, Dame Fiona and Lydia stared at each other and shook their heads because Rubia was wearing clothes that were not suitable for a meeting with her future fiance.
Rubia stared intently at Dame Fiona "Is there anything you want to say?"
"There is no His Majesty"
Rubia walked casually towards her meeting room not far from her room, after reaching her face, Axel gave her a greeting by peeping the back of his hand, and, Rubia could not resist because it was a natural greeting for a knight to a Lady or Princess noble.
Rubia sat down and Fiona stood behind her "What do you want?" said cold.
"It seems like you're busy, I'm not going to take up your precious time for too long, so I'm going to get straight to the point, I want to apologize Your Majesty for what I have done in the past so that it makes you avoid me and ignore me" Axel said quickly.
"Are you going to stop bothering me after I forgive you?"
"What???" Axel simply did not expect such an answer to be received. While Rubia continued to look at him waiting for an answer from him in earnest.
"I will do that if you forgive me" he said.
"Alright, I've forgiven you" Rubia thrust her hand, but Axel at night didn't understand what she wanted."Shake hands, then we have made up" he said again.
"Well" they made up.
"Then excuse me, I must practice the sword" Rubia got up from her seat.
"Do you want to train with my Highness the Princess?" Axel stood up.
"That's a disturbing name, we've just agreed" he said.
"Ahh.so he means something like this." he murmured softly. While Axel muttered Rubia had gone far away leaving him.
"Why do I feel cheated?" he muttered again to see Rubia who had moved away.
