-Agriche mansion-
A young girl was walking in the garden. Her golden hair sway in the air as she walks. The garden have various flowers of different kind but none of them was a normal flower. Every flower in the garden was poisonous.
"ROXIE" shout a boy who seems to be 9 year old. His dark black hair swayed in the air and his cat like blue eyes sparkle as he spoted the girl.
"What are you doing here Jeremy"
"Just got back from training. But what are you think about so deeply. Hmm" Said the boy curiously as he start walking beside his sister. Gently grabbing his sister's hand.
" I was just thinking about the new girl"
"You mean the girl with weird hair color"
Said Jeremy as he remembered the girl who he saw in the great hall.
" I don't know, i just get some weird feelings from her. Something mysterious"
' in the novel their was no mention of any girl with that kind of hair color."
" I heard father saying that she is a mage." It was a shocking news for roxanne.
' how come their was no mention of such a girl in the novel. Who is she'
"Why don't we go and meet her, roxie"
Asked Jeremy as he was his sister
"I don't know but father told us not to visit her" said roxanne
Both the siblings were walking together holding eachother's hands. They were having a peaceful time together until they were disturbed by a certain person.
"Oh my! what a coincidence. Jeremy and roxanne."
Exclaimed a woman in the light purple dress with puffy sleeves and a matching parasol. Combined with her outfit, her short brown hair, purple eyes, and heart-shaped face made her look like an overgrown doll. She was no other than Maria, lant Agriche third wife.
"What are you both doing here" she asked smiling brightly to both of the kids.
"It's none of you busi-"
"We are just walking around the garden for some fresh air, Auntie Maria" said roxanne cutting what was jeremy about to say.
" Oh, so do you guys want to come to my tea party. I also have a new doll to show you guys, you both won't be bored."
"Eww no. Who would like to see your disgusting dolls" answered Jeremy in disgust.
"Aww Jeremy don't be so rude to me. I really want to invite dion but he seems to be so busy playing with his toy, that he forget about his poor mother" Maria said as she make a fake sad face.
Roxanne frowned as she heard the name of the person who killed her brother. It was dion who kill her brother to brutally. She hated Dion so much that she can't even stand his presence. No matter how hard she tried, she alway feel weak in his presence.
"Auntie Maria, i have some important matter to attend." Said roxanne leaving Maria.
"Wait for me Roxie" said Jeremy and he run toward roxanne.
"Kids these day" sighed Maria as she smiled and turn away

" my baby, always remember your very special"
"penelope my precious child, mother always loves you"
"Penelope please come with me i promise I'll take good care of you. Please be my daughter, penelope"
"lady give me your arm"
"It's the fake lady"
"we found the necklace in lady penelope's room"
"You filthy thing"
"stupid bitch"
"you should have gone when we asked you nicely"
"How dare she stole our lady Yvonne's necklace"
"you theif"
Mom please don't leave me. Mom take me with you. I promise I'll be a good girl.
No..no i didn't do it, i promise i didn't stole Yvonne's necklace, Please believe me.
Please it hurts, please I'm begging you don't stab me. Someone.. someone please help me. I just want to be loved.
"CHILD, WAKE UP. "
"AHHH" i was covered in cold sweat. My body was quivering badly. My was hurting like hell. I was having goosebumps all over my body. Images of people i don't know, images of the Eckarts. All these painfull memories.
'it was all original penelope's memories. All about her past, how she was treated, how hurt she was. How she felt.'
But why did I got all her memories. Why now.
' And whose voice was that'
Knock knock
"M'lady may i come in."
"Ah, yes come in."
" Good morning m'lady." the maid says as they all bow.
" Uh, ya morning" jeez I'm still not used to this kind of treatment.
Yesterday dion ordered some maids to take care of me. I don't understand why was i getting a special treatment. I'm just a toy.
"Your still in bed" suddenly a voice said
' that startled me '
"Ugh,gree..greetings young master Dion." Not only me but also all the maids in the room were startled but the only difference was that they were trembling in fear. All the servent in the mansion were scared of their masters. They don't know when their heads would be separated from their body.
"Today we are going somewhere. So get ready." Dion said ignoring all the trembling maids.
"Oh,okay"
After dion heard my response he left the room.
"Umm, can you help me in getting ready" i asked the maids in the the room, smiling at them. The maids hurriedly start preparing for my bath.
'hahhhh, it was so relexing. I had a warm bath after a long time'
"M'lady please sit here" said the maid, pointing at the chair.
"Thank you" i smiled at them. Their cheeks seems to turn a little red. Maybe it's because of penelope's face.
I sat at the chair, facing the mirror in front of me.
"Your really beautiful, m'lady" said one of the maids.
Indeed Penelope was really beautiful. Her long magenta hair, unique turquoise, pink lips and milky white skin.
"M'lady your dress is ready"
-her hair style-
•••After she got ready•••
After i left the room, the maid escort me to where Dion was. She seems terrified.
" Hey it's alright" i said while smiling at her. My words didn't seems to resure her but she stop trembling and smiled back at me.
" Your really kind miss" she said in a low voice.
After sometime we reach where Dion was, but he was not alone. His father Lant Agriche was with him, standing with his usual smirk. Dion didn't say anything. He just stand their quietly, staring at me.
" You look good in that dress. Now get in the carriage." Said lant as he climbed the carriage.
After we all climb the carriage. No one said a single word, it was pin drop silence.
'its suffocating'
After sometime the carriage stopped.
" We are here my lord"
