"All of you shall get ready"
Everyone's eyes all turn to father, who kept his usual poker face look, "What for?" Mother asked him, as she continue to eat her dinner
"The Emperor, is hosting a Hunt in the next 2 days"
Wait...a hunt? It's cold now!
"In this season? It's winter for god's sake! What the hell is that Emperor thinking" Mother cursed out loud, but we didn't mind,
Since it's only us, now...the King went to the palace for some unknown reasons, though father and mother should've known but eh, I don't care
"I thought it's supposedly be in the next 2 months?" Brother asked as Father sighed loudly "I don't know what happened but he changed his mind, since he guessed that none of our family is gonna go and enter the hunt, he requested that every family member shall attend" He said as he then turn to look at me
I didn't know what it meant but it seemed that he didn't want me to come along in the hunt
Maybe because that I'll be their weak link or something... But I guess he didn't have any other choice because the Emperor wants my eyes
That may be the perfect place to take it away from me,
Did I ever mention that none of his children inherited his swordsmanship skills?
Both brother and Sister hated going into the wild, and this may very be our first attendance of the Emperor's hunting season
"I'll get ready father, arethere any other visitors?" Sister asked
"The Southern Kingdom will attend, as well as the Western Empire,and I've heard that the Nesua Kingdom will also attend" as he said those last words all eyes were on him
"The Nesuans? Are you sure?" Mother asked him as he nodded
"Their new ruler Queen Tara Nesua, wants to marry someone a native in the continent, maybe that's why the Emperor wanted to have a Royal hunt where he wanted every kingdom and empires to attend, by using my name as well as the Archduchess" He explained as he then continue to eat
I guess that the Emperor Wants to have a friendly relationship with the Nesuans to have access with their cavemines along with their blacksmiths
He probably have heard something that Moonlight's blacksmiths and jewels came from the Nesuans
But in truth, it's not...
It's the work of the Zodiacs magic...
"I see, then I'll try to befriend her Father" Sister offered as father smiled lightly "As you should Amelia"Mother strictly responded as she then taken a glimpse at me, and I noticed it
"How about you Alyssa, what will you do?"
"Well I-"
"I think it's best for you to find a husband within this hunt Alyssa" Father cutted me off as I turn to look at him
"No...like I said, I won't get married.... I'll come along with you and sleep there" I seriously told him, I let out a smirk and stood up from my seat, after seeing that everyone had finished eating dinner
"Alyssa..." I heard his serious voice, I then stared at father with a smirk, "you've been rebelling so much after you've went out with the King" he told me as I let out a small chuckle
"Really? I don't know, because I've been like this ever since I broke up with Prince Benjamin" I remarked as he then gave me a glare
Father can't touch me...
He can't because he's afraid...
"Then, I shall excuse myself Father... Seeing that everyone is now finished" I said with a bright smile, looking at everyone's plates that are all now empty
As I left that room, walking towards my room only to see Cancer, in the form as Aries, she's the one who was assigned to me today
"Master! I've heard!"she exclaimed as soon as I came in my room, "what do you think he's planning?"I asked her as I sat in my bed and faced her
"I don't know, but I've sent the others a signal, they'll investigate the emperor's hunting grounds" she explained to me
"How about Queen Tara, the you know something about her?" I asked
"Queen Tara is the youngest out of all her siblings and there's some doubts on how she became the ruler, but she's good friends with Catherine Nizel"
As I heard her words, I felt taken back and never thought about this, I mean she's a heroine, but how the hell did she formed a friendship with the Queen?
"Ehh?can you please elaborate?"
"In truth, Catherine Nizel grew up not in the countryside, but in truth she grew up in the Nesua Kingdom, the Nizels had connection with the natives in the island but kept it a secret"She explained to me flawlessly that I couldn't help but be shocked at this
"I mean...when did you have the time to investigate this?" I asked her, I mean, seriously when?
"In truth, Virgo was suspicious of Catherine Nizel when she entered society in Lady Amelia's birthday, her actions isn't someone like a country bumpkin would have, and she requested that we should investigate her, that's when we knew" she told me with serious looks, she's serious, she's freaking serious
"Ha... unbelievable..."I was so shocked by the sudden information, I mean... The Catherine in the Story is a country bumpkin!
The territory that the Nizel's owned is far away from the Nesua Kingdom, when did she have the time to be friend's with the Queen?
There's no single clue on what does the queen looked like nor what is it like in that Island, even in the book there's only little information about them,
Queen Tara was mentioned, but at the very end...when she married my cousin, the 2nd son of my mother's brother and is now currently studying in the academy
Does...Catherine have known what happened in the future?
It's highly possible, unless she's also the same as me... From an another world...
Queen Tara was mentioned halfway in the story, which is not in the book, and Catherine won't meet her until she visited the kingdom and fell in love with my cousin
"Catherine Nizel, that woman is dangerous master...she may have a clear motive about something" Cancer cutted me off from my rambling thoughts
"Yeah...like becoming the empress" I muttered but she heard it, she's supernatural of course she had super hearing or something
"It's highly possible master, but what good will she have for having connections with the Nesuans?"
"The Emperor wanted sister to become the Crown Princess, so he can have control over the Silvertons, but if Catherine claimed to be friend's with the Nesuan Queen, that can make her be a likely possible candidate to become the Crown Princess" I explained to her, Catherine....may have the future in her hands, and she will use it for her own good
She wants to avoid the path, where she just lives while being compared by me with all of the male leads, she probably hated that life,
When she can use the future in her advantage and avoid entangling with me, is that why she showed much hatred in our first meeting?
She must've think something is wrong when all of the sudden I was alive in that fated day I die, I need to be wary of her
"Yeah..but, isn't she afraid of your sister?"
"She won't...I can feel it"
