You groaned in frustration. "Why.." you cried out, tapping the table repeatedly with your pencil. Your head was pounding to the point that it was almost unbearable.

"Hey, (Y/n)!"

You looked up to see the red-headed American grinning widely at you.

"What's that," she asked, pointing at the paper in front of you as she sat down. "Is that our History homework? I thought its deadline was still on Friday.."

You smiled and laid your pencil on the table. "It still is. I just have nothing to do. That's why I'm doing it now. But it's making my head ache at the moment."

"Try resting for a bit. Where's Colleen?"

"Getting some books from the library for our research..."

A series of footsteps were heard in the distance, getting louder by the second. "Dios Mio, (Y/n), look!" the running person exclaimed, which made you and Eini turn your heads to her. She was holding 2 thick books in her hand. She slowed down and sat beside Eini. Then, she immediately opened the first book and flipped it onto a certain page. "Look, (Y/n), it has your name on it!"

(Y/n) (L/n) was born in Amiens, France; January 26, 1739. Her father died when she was 6, in which she and her mother suffered from great poverty. Since then, they have been living with her uncle, Eugene (L/n).

She was a close friend of the famous general, General Xalvador Olivier and of his sibling, Corrianne Olivier. In fact, it was she who helped Corrianne with her relationship with Gabriel Mackintosh.

Colleen's eyes were wide as saucers while reading the encyclopedia. Eini stayed silent and kept on reading, probably because she didn't know about much of your past and matches no resemblance besides the name itself.

(Y/n) (L/n) was the wife of King George III. They were engaged in a secret marriage in 1776. It was said that (Y/n) (L/n) was forced into this marriage due to the obsession and insanity of the king.

"Oh my," Eini commented, "how tragic.."

Colleen turned to look at you with furrowed eyebrows. "You do realize that this is more than a coincidence, right?" She grasped your shoulders tightly. "Is there something you're not telling us?"

You raised an eyebrow, trying to look calm while your heart pounded against your ribs. "What? Why would you think that? It must be a coincidence. There's no way that we're the same person," you retorted.

"What is it then?! Your name is (Y/n) (L/n). You were born in Amiens, France; January 26, 1995. Your father died when you were 6 and since then, you've been living with your uncle whose name is Eugene (L/n). What am I missing?!" she shouted, glaring at you.

Eini stood up from her seat and placed a hand on Colleen's shoulder, grasping it gently. "Colleen, I think that's enough," she ushered. "Why don't we talk about this over some tea? It'll definitely make us feel better and keep a calm atmosphere between the three of us, yes?"

You looked at Eini and nodded before turning to Colleen, waiting for her answer.

Colleen glared at Eini but calmed down nonetheless. She sat back on her seat and opened the history book into another page. "Fine," she grumbled. "It says here that while Japan was invading Manchukuo, a Japanese set a bomb below the rails of a train which did not do much damage considering that the train was still able to pass over those rails without any problem at all.."

You hastily wrote on your notebook, trying to keep up with what Colleen is saying. It seemed that she was reading the book fast on purpose in an attempt to get you to spill the truth.
