The rustling sound of the leaves being blown off the wind and the chirping of birds from a distance was now clearly heard by the figure of the bluish silver girly girl who was still sleeping curled up on her mattress.

Today is the last week of spring. The warm rays of the sun still illuminated the empire with its warmth.

Chequek...

"Miss, when she woke up, " Ahnna's voice made Catherine open her eyes.

"Hoam..." Catherine rubbed her eyes and then stretched her body. Ahnna opened the window curtain making warm sunlight enter the room.

Ahnna immediately helped Catherine prepare herself. Ahnna brought Catherine breakfast to the room, while Catherine ate her breakfast Ahnna helped the other servants prepare the dress that Catherine would wear today.

After eating, Catherine took a bath with the help of the servants. After taking a bath, Ahnna dried Catherine's hair with a towel and combed her.

"Ahnna, "capture Catherine while looking at Ahnna from the mirror in front of her.

"Yes Miss?"

"Pulse.. What is princess Elenia like? "

"You asked what Miss is? "

"Everything! "

Ahnna smiled gently. "The princess has a golden mane with golden eyes like a typical jewel of a royal member. He is a friendly and kind-hearted child and also cheerful. That's what I heard Miss "

Catherine nodded.

Geck... Geck...

The sound of knocking on the door startled Catherine who was busy with her thoughts.

"Get in. " said Catherine without a second thought.

Chequek...

"what's up? "Ask Catherine cold. It seemed that Catherine was upset that the maid was interfering with her while thinking.

The servant trembled feeling the cold and heavy atmofser like the pressure belonged to Duke Orzsebet.

"La-anu... That, T-master Duke called you in his study... "

"Papa? " the atmosphere is light again.

"Y-yes.. "

"ohs. Alright. " Catherine immediately put on the prepared dress aided by Ahnna.

Finished wearing her dress Catherine immediately walked towards the door of her room.

"You go" Catherine told the servant. The waiter nodded brokenly then left after bowing respectfully.

Chequek...

"Come on Ahnna "

"good"

•••

Mansion hallway.

Taps.. Taps... Taps...

"Miss, weren't you too cold with the waiter? "

"Hm? "

Catherine glanced at Ahnna who was behind her.

"I guess not. The waiter nodded at me so he got the right thing." said Catherine who somehow felt terrible and made Ahnna feel Deja vu.

'Miss' words remind me of what Mr. Duke said when I've been working here for a week'

Chequek...

"Papa? " Catherine emerged from the doorstep staring at Leonard who was dating with a stack of paper review documents at the border.

Leonard realized the arrival of his daughter immediately showed the paper documents.

Approaching Catherine and taking her to the sofa.

"Papa, Rin's grown up!" catherine protested when held by Leonard.

Leonard smiled in anguish.

"really? Then you don't have to eat your favorite chocolate cake and eliminate your sulking habit of eating chocolate "

Catherine suddenly froze. Papa this is really sneaky! He easily replied to her.

Seeing his still-silent daughter Leonard continue his remarks.

"Then you have to stop the habit of stealing candy and chocolate from the kitchen. " Leonard chuckles.

Degh's!

'W-how did you know that?! ' Catherine stared at her papa horror.

Is this Papa a psychic?

"S-It's papa...! Why did papa call me anyway? "

Oh? Leonard stopped chuckling then immediately looked at his daughter.

"do you remember the invitation letter of the emperor?" leonard's face became serious.

"still. " Catherine put on a serious face.

"After this we'll be going to the palace soon. "

Huh huh?

Catherine's mouth was gaping wide and her hand that was holding a spoon to cut the chocolate cake suddenly fell with her dramatic.

"How come there was a meeting with the gangaawan and the emperor? " ask Catherine after recovering from her dramatic shock.

Leonard nodded and cleared his throat.

"you must be ready in a moment we shall go "

"HEEEEEEE?! "

•••

"Done. Now you can reflect " Ahnna said after helping Catherine wear a dress.

Catherine immediately reflected. "Woah." she clucked in awe of her own appearance.

The dress worn by Catherine is ivory white with a slightly transparent blue gradation like the color of the ocean. Her beautiful bluish silver hair was beautifully braided with white pearls that adorned her. Catherine wore a simple but beautiful dress like a water fairy that rained with the rain in the clear sky.

Catherine was at a loss for words seeing her appearance.

"Alright Miss, let me take you out to see master Duke" Ahnna said breaking Catherine's daydream.

Catherine nodded then immediately headed towards the gate of the mansion followed by Ahnna.

Arriving at the gate of the mansion..

There is a tall, black-bladed man with a dazzling crimson iris wearing a black suit with a red tie. On the right side of his chest was the coat of arms of Duke Orzsebet, a crescent moon wrapped in thorny tendrils and a rose blooming in the tendrils.

That man, is Leonard, Catherine's father.

"Father! " Catherine's loud voice made Leonard turn to his daughter.

"Oh, are you ready? " ask Leonard with his flat. Catherine nodded very quickly.

"then let's go "

"Um! "

Catherine immediately boarded the horse carriage and sat down and opened the window. Leonard came in and sat down. Door's closed.

Clot.. Clot...

The horse carriage was leaving immediately. Catherine waved her hand at Ahnna who was answered with a smile.

Claps.

"..... Papa, " cletuk Catherine.

"Hm? "

"Rin heard the communication crystal has been released.."

Leonard stopped checking his documents and looked at his daughter.

"You want her? "

Catherine nodded with great enthusiasm. "of course! "

"Heh. Do you think you prefer chocolate cake or communication crystals? " Leonard grinned at his daughter.

The deg!

Catherine cursed her papa inwardly. Catherine laughed awkwardly as she scratched her non-itchy nape.

"Rin... Love both ehehe." said Catherine, turning her eyes to the window.

"Hm so, huh? Alright. "with his flat Leonard just muttered and continued to check the documents that had been delayed.

Catherine cursed in her heart and cursed her papa in silence.

'That's flat.. '

Catherine entertained herself by playing wind magic. However,,,,,, the,,,,,

That wind messed up the documents Leonard read. One of the papers covered Leonard's handsome face. Catherine suddenly stopped her wind magic immediately.

Staring at his papa with an unconditioned expression.

Catherine wanted to laugh but was afraid of sin, wanted sin but was afraid to laugh (?). Awkwardly. Catherine could not stand it and...

"Fttt... Ahahahahahahah!!!! " Catherine laughed freely making the horseman who was outside surprised along with his horse horse as well.

"...." - ".Leonard took the paper document from his tamvan face and stared at his daughter flatly.

His image as the most sadistic and cold Duke of Orzsebet was suddenly lost.

And...

For the second time his authoritative impression was shattered in the presence of his beloved person.

'Ah, this is embarrassing' - Leonard

'Ahahahahaha... Okay hold.. Papa's face began to harden... Pfttt.... Let's arrest Catherine... Pfttt.... Hahaahahahah.. I'm sorry papa I didn't insisttt'-Catherine

The carriage suddenly felt cold by Leonard's laser gaze. Catherine who was still laughing gasped and stopped her laughter.

His non-itchy nape turned his attention to the window. Catherine promised in her heart to no longer use her wind magic excessively or else the incident would happen again. Catherine imagined her papa face when she was hit by the paper documents.

His heart was tingled back. Catherine tried to hold back her laughter but again failed...

"Pffftttt Bwahahhahahaha.". "the laugh also made Leonard feel exposed to strange bullying because of this daughter.

"Well.. They both really look alike." Leonard murmured softly in his eyes, lamenting a strong longing.

The horse carriage became silent with the two humans thinking different things.

It was Leonard who was being nostalgic and Catherine who thought of his cute papa face when it was hit by the paper document.

Catherine realized something.

'Either why do I feel to be an ungodly child for laughing at papa. ' her ringis in the heart.

•••

"All prosperity and prosperity thanks to the imperial sun" Catherine said as she bowed respectfully pulling the tip of her dress left and her right hand rested on her chest both her eyes closed and her head bowed respectfully.

The figure of a beautiful girl with a golden blonde mane and golden eyes like jewels looked at Catherine with sparkling eyes.

"Thank you for coming Miss Orzsebet "greet Elenia and ask Catherine to stand up again.

"I should thank you for inviting me "Catherine smiled sweetly to make both Elenia and the servants happy.

Error, fascinated.

"Well, since this is our first meeting, what if we had tea together first? "

"We? "

"Yes, the princess invited several noble girls ranging from Duke to Earl." said the butler who was there.

'I don't think this is my first meeting with you, Elenia.. '-Catherine.

"of course with great pleasure" Catherine said, smiling tipisss once.

"Then come on. " Elenia invited him with passion.

'Either why I feel like I'm looking after a little child' Catherine grumbled resentfully inwardly.

"Till! "

Catherine was presented with an amazingly beautiful view. A tea party was held in Elenia's private garden. The park has a fountain made of gold and there is a statue of the goddess of the moon, Selena which is also made of gold and her eyes are made of sappire jewels.

There are many white Gardenia flowers scattered throughout the park. It seems like the princess loves Gardenia flowers.

Not far from the park there is a greenhouse and also an artificial lake. This is where they run tea time.

Catherine stared at the round table complete with luxurious chairs with abundant pastry. He sat in one of those empty seats.

The noble girls began to chat with Elenia as the waiter poured tea.

Catherine stared at the tea poured by the maid into her ceramic cup.

'Darjeeling tea... Hah, I actually prefer Rose Congou. ' Catherine grumbled inwardly.

"Please marry." said Elenia, expanding her smile.

The noble girls began to sip their tea while chatting introducing themselves.

"Ah, please introduce yourself first" said Elenia.

"yes too. "

"we start from the right hand of the princess! "

"Yes. "

It just so happened that Catherine was on Elenia's right. Catherine was somewhat surprised behind her calm face.

'w-why am I first? '

"I'm Catherine Orzsebet from Duke Orzsebet's residence" Catherine said.

"i am Helen Agustine from the residence of the Augustine marquis. "

"i.... "

A few hours later...

"thank you for inviting us noble princesses"." said the noble girls before entering the carriage belonging to their respective residence.

"Same same! Next time I'll invite you! "

Clot.. Clot..

The horse-drawn carriage immediately marched towards the exit of the palace gate.

Only Eleina and Catherine were standing there.

Catherine stared up at the clear sky.How long was there? '

Elenia glanced at Catherine. I don't know why she wanted to get closer to Catherine.

According to Eleina, Catherine's irises are unique. The color he saw was not blackish ash but ruby red like a jewel.

Elenia knew that the owner of the jeweled golden eyes seemed to be unique and could see the appearance of a real person and see the aura or feelings of others.

"wrong.."

Catherine turned her head towards Elenia. "what's the matter? "

"can I call you Catherine? " ask Elenia nervously.

Not because of what. But Catherine's aura was heavy. Catherine looks like a mix of lion and wolf .

Catherine smiled. "Of course, princess. "

Elenia's eyes sparkled with pleasure. "Then from now on we are friends!"

"Eh..."

"Come here every day!"

"Wait for the princess.. "

"from now on you are my best friend! Don't be ashamed to come here!! "

"T-but---"

"nothing but a fireplace! You're my best friend! Don't suggest coming! "

"E-EEHHH?!"
