A gentle tap on my hand woke me up and made me look at the culprit who woke me up.

There, on my right side, stood a man with disheveled violet hair and bright crystal blue eyes that.

"Lania, wake up quickly. How long are you going to sleep? Sleeping too long is not good for the body." His hands on his hips.

I got up and looked to my left. The curtains that were closed now opened revealing the clear morning sky. I turned my attention to Vasilius who looked sweaty, I assume he had just finished his sword practice in the morning as usual.

...

Wait.. didn't he finish at...

"What time is it now?" I asked in a hoarse voice.

"Six o'clock, why?" He looked at me with raised brow.

Seriously... don't tell me I have to wake up at 6 every day..

I pulled up my blanket and lay back down.

"Wha- hey! Since when have you been so lazy huh? Get up quickly."

He pulled the blanket that I'm wearing, making me tighten my grip. But his strength was so strong that it made me sit up.

"Ugh... brother Valius, it's still too early." I said half asleep.

"Stop complaining and get ready quickly, the maids will come with your dress and prepare you. But you must refuse if they try to change your face with thick make up." He said in a disturbed tone.

"Hm? Why do I have to dress up?" I yawned and rubbed my eyes.

"Ah, right. I forgot you haven't received the letter."

I was still half awake, staring at the big door across from me. A sound of footsteps, which I believed belonged to Vasilius, walked away and came back again.

A letter and a piece of paper fell on my lap, making me pick it up and read its contents with lingering sleepiness.

I read the small paper first. There's an address and time which I didn't really think much about what it means because of my sleepiness.

I took the letter and read its contents. In the middle of reading the letter, I spotted a familiar name.

After reading the letter to the end, I read the name of the sender. My eyes widen. The sleepiness that I had felt disappeared in an instant.

The sender is the crown prince's assistant!

I looked at Vasilius with mixed feelings.

Vasilius looked at me with raised brow. "Have your conscious been collected?" He tilted his head slightly and smiled a little.

I looked at him annoyed and panicked in the inside. "Why are you telling this to me just now?"

Vasilius shrugged his shoulders. "I always forgot to tell you." He said casually.

Geez... I'm sure you did it on purpose... you were able to give the letter last night! Or at least tell me!

I glared at Vasilius who was now walking out.

"Good luck." He said with a smile before waving and closing the bedroom door.

Sigh... I thought you were worried about me, but you weren't.. What kind of big brother smiles when his little sister is in danger? I could be beheaded if Lavenia is was the culprit of that accident... though, I'm sure she's innocent... but still! There is no evidence!

I looked at the letter that crown prince sent to me.

Now I remember about him...

Julianus Istvan Eleuther, he is the crown prince as well as one of the capture targets. His route is the route with many missions and longest story.

The situation inside the palace was truly chaotic. Assistants, advisors, maids, guards, even head chefs, are all untrustworthy. Trust? There is no such a thing inside the palace. Even the royal family, including the queen and king, don't trust each other. They must always be vigilant, if they are careless, their life will ended in an instant

In Julian's route, the protagonist's mission is to make him and his family a harmonious family and uncover all the spies in the palace. Gaining a reputation and their trust are important to be the crown prince's partner.

And on this route there is a special mission to achieve the perfect happy ending, which is to help stop the terrorists who want to destroy the aristocratic system.

This special mission has 3 difficulties: easy, standard, and hard.

For easy difficulty, the protagonist only needs to donate a large amount of coins obtained from previously completed missions to help increase the war supplies, also evacuate citizens. Vasilius and Reymond play a big role to help the protagonist.

The story will end with the favorability of the royal family and citizen reached their maximum favorability. Pretty good to be the crown prince's fiancé.

As for standard difficulty, the protagonist must have a strong character. In this mission, the protagonist is required to learn magic swordsmanship and magic at the beginning of the game. Damarius and Arkanio play a major role in the development of the protagonist's training.

As the war progresses, the protagonist must come forward to the battlefield and help the injured victims. The cornered troops come back to attack the enemies with the protagonist's help. Also have to rescue the crown prince who was attacked by the enemy army leader and kill him.

The story will end with the protagonist being the protector and savior of the kingdom. She also got full consent to be the next queen, as well as the crown prince's bride. The protagonist's name will go down in history as a woman with extraordinary abilities.

And lastly hard difficulty. In this mission, the protagonist must capture all members of the organization, including the leader, before the war begins. The protagonists, Alvanio and Alastor will form a team to track down all the enemies.

As far as I know, no one can complete this mission. The head of this organization is really hard to catch. Even Alvanio who was very good at strategy was overwhelmed by that person. Characteristics? No one knows other than a mark in the form of initials on his shoulder. Those who know will die suddenly if they open their mouths.

Wait, it's all unimportant! The most important thing now is this letter!

I reread the letter that was in my hand in a small voice. "Dear Lady Lavenia Alfaret. We will appreciated it if you come at the place and time that was indicated on the slip of paper that we will send tomorrow. In the name of Julianus Istvan Eleuther, we will pay for your actions..."

I closed my eyes and open it again only to shout. "THAT'S AMBIGUE! PAY WHAT?! FOR WHAT?! WHAT ACTION?!"

I lay back down. "Ugh! According to his letter date, it was sent when I was visiting Alastor's cafe with Damarius! That's a long time to prepare myself! Damn Vasilius!"

I massaged my temples, crying inside my head.

The knock on the door made me sit.

I told them to come in. There were 6 maids each holding something in their hands.

"Lady Alfaret, please wake up and allow us to prepare you." Said one of the maids. The sparkling gazes the maids gave me made me sweat drop and nod doubtfully.

I have a feeling this is going to take a long time...

And of course it is! I'm already exhausted from all the treatments and those dresses that I've tried... I don't think I can go to the palace now.

I sighed, walking out of the mansion with Helios. He acted like usual so I'm not that burdened. I think I might get a stomach ache if I worried about him so let's cheer him up later if I can get out safely from the palace.

I found Damarius with formal suit standing at the front door. "Let me take you there." he said holding out his hand.

I looked at his hand, thinking whether I should take his offer or not.

Well, those carriage isn't comfortable... alright, just this once.

"Alright, please." I gripped Helios and Damarius' hand tightly.

I took a deep breath, and close my eyes.

Lavenia are unlucky, so it's useless to wish for everything to be ok. But I really hope my head can still intact.

Please just this once!
