Chapter I: The First
In the spring, many people would gather their family members to meet each other to have a
memories full of joy. In the Winter, everyone would prepare for the royal exam to enter the Royal Court. However, their life wasn't the same as I do. I, Melena Vonyigre (Vonviygre-shortened) will gain my freedom soon!
The bird were chirping outside the mansion of Vondagre. It wakes me up. The bird has a wonderful life. Traveling the world by flying... They are lucky. They can fly whenever they want. Aside from that, have a freedom. However... they are just too Vulnerable. They can't even protect themselves from the predators bigger than them, specially when it comes to humans itself. So do I? It is really stupid. I just want to travel the world, witnessing how the people in the capital lives their own lifes. Its not always happy being born as a Noble. You still need to work hard in order to achieve something. So why bother if there is no difference?
Someone came into her room and wake her up
Feir

Cesellie Von Gard
What are you guys talking about?
Irene Zartptoy
Nothing, its just her brother.
Cesellie Von Gard
Well then, do you think Brother Fan will accept my gift?
Mia Vonifan
Mind your actions, Cesellie.
Cesellie Von Gard
Why can't I think of it?
Cesellie Von Gard
I mean, there is nothing wrong with that.
Mia Vonifan
Yes, there is nothing wrong. But we are the daughter of the well known Families. This is not a private place to talk about daydreams.
Cesellie Von Gard
So what if im?
Mia Vonifan
Sigh*
Why can't you be serious? We are in the middle of noble banquet.
Irene Zartptoy
Haha, you know what? Let's just go, the banquet will start soon.
Melena Vonyigre
Yes, she is right. Let's go.
Cesellie Von Gard
Alright.
As soon as the banquet starts, many performer sings and dance while the guest were having fun.
Someone called out my name. Unsuprisingly, it is someone who always approach me.
Filbert Von Celbino
Hi, good evening, ladies.
Cesellie Von Gard
What is this guy doing here..?
Mia Vonifan
Hey, Irene, did you invite him?
Irene Zartptoy
I think it was my grandpa who invites his dad.
Filbert Von Celbino
My lady, do you want to have a dance?
Melena Vonyigre
Im sorry, but no, I don't want to go dance. Its too crowded here.
Filbert Von Celbino
Its alright, I can ask them to give us some space. What do you think?
Melena Vonyigre
Please pardon me, but, Im still in a middle of conversation with my friends.
Melena Vonyigre
Also, Mr. Celbino, please watch your attitude.
I walk away as if nothing just happened.
This is what always the scenes is whenever I attend banquets and invitations from the other nobles. Afterall, this isn't private banquet.
Every time someone ask for me, I always turned them down in order to keep my title and my Family's background. Once there will be rumors, It will only create more and more problems not only my family but also to someone who will dare to befriends with me.
