When I opened the gift box that father had sent to me, I was amazed..
"It's a sword...!"
I shouted loudly..
Oh my god!!
A real sword!!
A beautiful sword!!
Am I crazy for calling a sword beautiful???
Who cares..
This sword is beautiful anyway..
Then I took the sword in my hand and stand infront of the mirror..
Woah!
A long sword..Not too long or too small..
A perfect size for me...A perfect fit to my hands..
When I looked at it's handle, there's something written on it... When I looked closely, there's my name written on it with mana seal..
My eyes twinkling with amazement...
That was awesome!!
I'm so happy!!
I ran towards Dad's office to thank him...But when I went there, Leon said Dad went out for a meeting...
Hahhh~
I wanted to thank him sooner..
But, it's fine...I will thank him later..We will eat together anyway..
I start to walk towards my room, and on the way to my room, I showed everyone my new sword and everyone praised it..
Hahahaaaa...
Oh!
I've to tell about it to Izana!!
Well, me and Izana, we have been exchanging letters.. Nothing much, just describing our daily activities..
It's fun to talk to him..
I sat on my desk and opened the front drawer to pick some pages to write a letter to Izana..
I'm really happy..
It feels good when you are happy..

Finally!!
Today is the day!!
Yayyyy!!
I'm in a good mood today...
After having breakfast with dad, I'm currently getting ready...
Finally, I'm going to start my training today!!
Yayyy!!
Clap for me..Clap! Clap!!
Leah changed my cloths with a indigo and cyan colored training suit.. And put my hair into a high ponytail..
When I looked at the mirror, I looked cool somehow..
"You are looking really cool, Milady.."
Leah said while she kissed on my forehead..
"Let's go, shall we?"
Leon said, holding my wooden swords in his hand, which I got on my birthday from the knights..
All of them are good people..
I'm really ashamed that they had to die because of me...
But this time, I'll protect them...I definitely will...
I start to walk towards the training ground with Leon...While Leah followed behind..
When I interned the training ground, all the knights bowed infront of me as if waiting for me..
"Welcome, Young miss!!"
"Ah!! Why are you bowing!! Get up already!!"
I said in panic..
Seeing me like that, Leon said from behind..
"Don't worry, little miss.. They are just happy being you here.."
When I heard Leon, I looked at them..
As they got up, they're beaming with smiles and sparkling eyes..
Now that I think about it, I've never visited the training ground nor the knights.. I never had any intersection with them..
But I heared, when I was little, I often went there with mother...
She loved to watch father train..
And after her death, I shut myself down.. So I've never interacted with anyone other than Leah...
But, after that day, that day when I cried hugging father, I mean the day I came back after dying once....things start to change again..
The knights and maids, they start to talk to me first.. They often give me sweets and gifts..
Hahaa..
It's fun..
"Ah, you came.."
Father said while walking towards me..
The knights step aside as I walked in..
"Dad!! How do I look?"
I beamed...
"Beautiful"
"Young miss is beautiful"
"A fairy!!"
"Like an angel!!"
"No..A goddess!!"
"A walking goddess!!"
Before father could answer, the maids and knights shouted and cheered..
Leon also joined them..
They stopped when dad glared at them..
"Seems like you guys are too free to chill.. Why don't you guys train extra time starting today.."
Dad smirked as he took my hand and start to walk...
Ah!
The knights looked like abandoned puppies..
I looked at them and smiled..
"..fighting!!"
I said swinging my fist..
Their eyes twinkled..
They looked happy again..
Flowers are blooming behind them..Ah! So sparkly!!
I smiled in relief..
They are good people... All of them...

Dad walked me to the middle of the training ground..
Woah..
Such a big place.. I've never knew about this..
Dad said looking at me..
"Anisha! Think again.. Being a knight is not as easy as people think it is.. It needs hard work and consistency.. Do you think you can do this?"
Without batting an eye, I replied in confidence..
"Yes! Absolutely!!
Because, it's not only my dream but the path I chose for myself as well... So there's no way I will back out.."
Dad smiled hearing my answer..
"Okay..If that's what you wish..
As I said, I'm a strict teacher.. So I won't go easy on you just because you are my daughter.."
"Well, I'm glad.. That's what I want as well.."
I said straighting my back..
"Okay! Start with 15 laps of this ground.."
"What!!"
"15 laps!!"
"And this training ground is huge!!"
"Isn't it too much!!"
"What if young lady fall?"
Some desperate crying whispers can be heared...
Some knights and maids are whispering sadly while looking at me..
They stopped when dad looked at them..
"It's fine! If I can't run only 15 laps, then what's the point of dreaming big? It will be shameful for me, as a Verita.. So don't worry.. Cheer for me, okay?"
I said looking at them, smiling..
"Ah! Young miss!!!"
Ah!
Wait!
Why are they crying?
Did I said something wrong?
When I looked at dad, he was smiling looking at me..
A proud smile..
Ah! I always wanted to see that...see him being proud of me...
I smiled as well...and start to run..
I won't stop until I finish it..
Little by little, I'll fullfill everything that I've ever wished..
Slowly, but surely...
It's a promise between my past self and the present me...
