I - New Life

'BOOMMM'S'

The sound of an explosion was accompanied by a plume of black smoke coming out from one of the windows of a large house in the middle of the forest. Inside the mansion was a little girl who had just walked out of one of the doors with disheveled hair and black dust on her body and face. He coughed as he washed away the black smoke from inside the room behind the door.

"I'm sorry I failed again" he was upset. He was in a hurry to wipe away the black dust that was attached to his body and face, he fixed his appearance, retracted the disheveled silver hair and fixed the location of the glasses he used.

Violeta is in a hurry to improve her appearance so as not to be angry with Merlin because Merlin will be angry if he finds out that the potion he made exploded again.

"Miss are you all right?" ask someone next to Violeta.

"AAA" shouted Violeta in surprise at the arrival of a middle-aged man who had suddenly been right beside her.

"Albert you surprised me!" violeta said annoyed, she was surprised because she thought Merlin caught her wet when the potion exploded earlier but it was Albert the butler at Merlin's house.

Hearing Violeta's words, Albert just smiled stiffly, he understood why Violeta was so shocked at her sudden arrival. Albert gave Violeta a handkerchief.

"Where's grandpa?" violeta asked Albert, removing the glasses she was wearing and taking the handkerchief Albert had given her, and removing the black dust residue that had stuck to her face.

"The big master said that he had some business outside and would be back later tonight, miss" Albert said

"Albert please help you keep this a secret from grandfather, otherwise I will be angered again later" Violeta asked Albert with a clear face that made him look more cute. Albert who saw Violeta's face refrained from pinching Violeta's red cheeks.

"Alright lady" said albert with a friendly smile.

"Thank you Albert, and please tell Anne to have some warm water ready I want to take a shower" she asked.

Anne is a middle-aged woman who works as a waitress at Merlin's house, she is Violeta's personal servant and she is also the one who takes care of Violeta from infancy. After Violeta took a bath she finished her afternoon sleeping, she was so tired that she used too much magic power to make potions all day.

"Miss woke up, it's time for dinner now" said Anne who was trying to wake Violeta from sleep.

"Five more minutes of Anne" said Violeta, still closing her eyes.

"Great master has arrived, he asked me to wake you lady"

"Wait another five minutes Anne I'm sleepy"

"Can't miss, the big master is bringing a guest back and you're having dinner together" Anne said

Anne who saw the spoiled window of her nona smiled faintly, she loved Violeta very much and considered Violeta like her own child because she was the one who took care of Violeta from childhood. Anne carried Violeta to the dresser and placed her in the front seat of the dresser. Anne painstakingly changed Violeta's nightgown to tie her hair neatly. During the process Violeta closed her eyes.

"Well ladies, now open your eyes you will have dinner with the great master and his guest, there is no way you can eat while closing your eyes" said Anne gently touching Violeta's tiny nose.

"hmmm.." meet Violeta just slowly opened her eyes and walked down from the dresser chair.

"Ayoo Anne" Violeta held Anne's hand and walked out of the room.

*****

"KAAAKKEEK" cried Violeta from the direction of the stairs running down the stairs and hugged Merlin.

"Leta don't run!! what if you fall down the stairs" said Merlin, who lifted Violeta into her sling.

"Hehehehe" Violeta's grin she wrapped her hands around Merlin's neck and kissed Merlin's cheek.

"You're acting nice to me, did you just make a mistake?" looking at Merlin, feeling strange about his granddaughter's behavior.

"Sir, Anne said you brought a guest?" violeta asked innocently to divert their conversation.

"Oh..Anne told you apparently, let me introduce you to her" asked Merlin, who had forgotten her previous question because she was distracted by Violeta's innocent look.

They walked to the dining room, in the spacious dining room a black-clothed man covered his head with a hood and noticed only part of his face behind the man was a sword placed on his back in the shape of an X , and the man looked mysterious.

The man sat on the dining room chair quietly without moving, even though she knew Merlin and Violeta entered the dining room the man still did not stand up to greet them even the man did not turn his head towards them.

"Who's the mystery man?" violeta whispered in the ear of Merlin who was holding her.

"Relax you'll find out soon" said Merlin smiling mysteriously.

"But what if he sees my hair?" violeta asked worriedly as she did not use a headscarf to cover her hair.

Merlin always reminded Violeta to cover her hair with a hood if she was going to go outside the house or if any guests came to the house. Because Violeta's distinctive hair can bring harm to herself so Merlin always reminds her to cover it up.

Merlin did not answer Violeta's question, he continued walking while holding Violeta until he was in front of the mysterious man.

"Leta, this is Eroshe's an Assassin, and he's about to teach you how to use a weapon" Merlin said, introducing a mysterious man named Eros.
