"There are no burn marks." It was I who first talked. "I can only see the scratches the cat made. But there are no burn wounds in your face. You lied to me." "So what if I lied!" Elizabeth yelled. "You are guilty if I say so. No one will dare defy me." She was right. If grandpa was not here to defend me, then the queen would have punished me.

"I was the one that told grandpa." Richard came forward from behind. "Elder sister, I saw you a few days ago and your face was as smooth as a baby’s." "W-what? Nonsense!" Elizabeth yelled in defense. "Then why not take off your bandage princess Elizabeth." Leon interjected. "You can clear your name from their allegations after we see your wound." "Nonsense!" Veronica yelled.

She looked at me in surprise. I can’t blame her, I am also surprised myself. My reflexes just kicked in. "What is the meaning of this?" The queen yelled. "Let go of me!"

At the border of Jennova and Alvannia, inside the thick and dense forest, there was a small cottage. A young man of eighteen years old with platinum blonde hair and silver eyes is sitting on a bench outside of the cottage. Around the cottage there was a layer of thin white light like a curtain enveloping it. "Your highness." A guard who is wearing all black emerged from thin air. "There are still shadow guards in the forest trying to search for us. "Do not worry. They can’t find us with my…

"I want to know if you just want her because she is of some use to you." Robert looked at Leon with a piercing gaze. "Because she is a descendant of the royal family of Atlantia." Leon and Robert had locked gazes. There was silence in the room. Their aura are overwhelming. ’General Robert is really something. He can talk to the crown prince like an equal and isn’t affected with the overwhelming aura.’ Dimitri thought. He was in the room with them all that time but he was like an ant in a…

"You know that the only one who can use the forbidden magic is a descendant of the royal family of Atlantia." Leon said. "I am afraid someone from the royal family survived the purge." Robert said. "And he is out for revenge." "The royal family of Atlantia, they are a frightening enemy. They don’t only have the talent of high magical arts but they also have a talent in physical aspects. It could be the art of sword or hand to hand combat. They are fearsome opponents in the battlefield." "I have…

Back then the continent consists of four countries, Jennova to the north, Grandcrest to the south, Alvannia in the center, and Atlantia in the far east.

It was nearing midnight in general Robert’s estate near the outskirts of the city. The old general was in his study looking at some papers. He was holding a glass of whiskey in his hand.
