The spring breeze is blowing softly making the fragrance of different flowers mix together, creating a magical atmosphere..
Alone in the garden, a girl with silver hair is sitting on a bench shaded by a huge tree.. She quietly daydreams as she watches the beautiful colors of the night sky, letting her mind wander as she listens to the silent and peaceful song of the mother Nature..
'Haah~'
A sigh escaped her mouth..
More than a week has passed..
Now only a week left before the Crown Prince's birthday..
The soldiers from the border side will be coming at that time aswell..
She thought, she would pass her days by training day and night to cover for the events.....but alas! Things didn't go as par her wish..
All she is doing these days was choosing her dress!
Damn!!
Different dresses for different events..
'How troublesome.. Nowadays, Leah is nagging me too much!! How can she find even the tiniest flaw in every outfit??'
Anisha looked worn out..
Dressing up was never her favorite.. But she had to do it because of her circumstances..
Because she was the Crown Prince's companion..
But now is different..
She is no longer engaged to the prince.. So, she doesn't need to showcase herself all the time..
In the Verita mansion, she spends her days wearing her training cloths, only changes to her nightgown at night..
'Now that I think about it, it's been a long time since I went to a party.. Maybe that's why, Leah is overexcited now.. Sigh~'
Suddenly the butler approached her and informed her that the dinner is ready..
She sighed for the last time and went inside with the butler..

(Anisha's POV)
Having dinner with a charming man feels really amazing ~
The leader of the elite group of Imperial Knights and the Commander of Blue Division Army is none other than my father, the Marquess of Verita.. He is this empire's one of the strongest swordmaster, and the most respected hero after he led the empire to victory in the war twenty years ago..
Compared to my father, who is a munchkin character, I, his daughter is so ordinary that it looks pitiful..
In the past, I didn't have anything I particularly excelled in (other than studies), not to mention I also had a terrible social reputation due to constantly chasing after Egar...
In fact, I didn't even have any friends because of my non-existent social skills..
'Honestly, it's unfair..'
Not realizing I had been pouting, I met my father's eyes..
"Do you want to eat this?"
Uh?!
He must have mistaken me for staring at his plate when I was really just lost in my inner thoughts..
Before I could shake my head in denial, a big chunk of meat landed on top of my plate..
"Eat.."
Huh?
Did he assumed I wanted his food?
"No Dad, it's not like what it looks like!!"
Shit!
What am I saying?
"It's fine, you can eat my share, I already cut it nicely.. Tell me if you want more.."
"But dad-"
"I didn't knew you like meat that much.. Hmmmm.. Then we should have it in every meal.."
"Huh?"
"Now eat it sweetie.."
"Ah! -_- yes..yes... Thank you.."
As I was suffering from overeating, he called out to me..
"Anisha..."
"Yes?"
He paused for a moment..
"What is your ideal type?"
Hearing such an unexpected question, I dropped my fork..
Why does I have a feeling of deja vu?
'Just what exactly is going through his head, for him to be asking me that?'
A servant replaced the fork I had dropped..
"Dad, why are you asking me such a thing all of a sudden??"
"I'm curious.."
He said, looking at me with a straight yet grim expression..
Uh?
Why??
Why is he pouting??
Ah!
Now I know!
Is he pouting because I'm going to the festival with Izana tomorrow??
Does he think that I've a thing for Izana?
Pfft!!
What a childish person..
As I peeked at him, I saw him looking at me with a stiff face.....eagerly waiting for my answer..
Though it was a simple question but still..
Haaaah~
Let's just answer the same thing as before..
"Hmmm.... Someone stronger than dad?"
".......I see"
His frown deepened for some reason..
Why?
I thought he'll be happy?
Did I answered it wrong?
I fake coughed and looked at my father while presenting my sweetest smile..
".........but someone like that doesn't exist, right? Because my dad is the strongest in the Empire! No, the continent!!"
His eyes widened a little after hearing it..
'Oh! Pfft!! What a child..'
My father closed his mouth and seemed to ponder over my words before he let out a strange remark..
".........then I should train more and make sure there is no one stronger than me"
He said with a bright smile..
'Ahh!! So dazzling!! I'm going blind now!!'
Ummm..
Wait a minute!!
He said,
He would make sure that there is no one stronger than him?
Why so??
He talks strange sometimes.. ヽ('▽｀)/
