"Mother, I am back." Ariana said as she entered her mansion.

However, there was no reply which Ariana expected there to be. She ignored the silence though as she walked into her room.

"Mother? Hello, I am back." Ariana said once more as she looked at her mother who was sitting on the bed with a downcast expression on her face.

"Ariana, you need to go right now." Ariana's mother suddenly said as she looked at Ariana with tears in her eyes.

"W-what do you mean I need to go right now? Mother? Is there something wrong?" Ariana asked her mother.

"Ariana! I have packed your stuff for you! You need to leave now!" Ariana's mother said as she put hugged her daughter while sobbing.

"Mother, what's wrong!? Tell me!? Why must I leave!" Ariana said as she had an ill foreboding.

"The Ragestride's family will be coming here soon. And they are coming here to get you for their marriage. You must leave now! We cannot protect you here! You must escape and get far away from them for your own freedom!" Ariana's mother said as she hurriedly pushed Ariana towards the entrance of the house so she could get into the carriage which was loaded.

"Wait no mother! I am not leaving without you guys! Stop pushing me mother!" Ariana cried out as she tried to resist her mother who was shoving her into the carriage with tears in her eyes.

"You shall leave without us! Make sure you stay safe on your trip out of the kingdom! We will miss you Ariana!" Ariana's mother said as she closed the carriage door before indicating the carriage driver to start driving it.

"No wait mother! I don't want this!" Ariana cried out.

"Make sure you don't forget about us! Everything you need is in the carriage! Just make sure you're safe! Don't forget to write us letters!" Ariana's mother shouted as she watched the carriage disappear off into the distance.

"And make sure you never come back…" Ariana's mother muttered to herself before she finally collapsed.

"Mistress! Somebody help me! The mistress has fainted!" A nearby maid suddenly said as she called out for help.

"What! The mistress has fainted!? Tell the head that she has fainted! Someone help bring the mistress back into her room!" A butler shouted as he ordered the servants what to do.

…

"Mother why! Why do you have to do this to me! I don't wanna leave! I wanna be with you! I wanna be with Sylvie and the others too!" Ariana cried to herself in the carriage.

"Why do I have to be so powerless! If only I had the power to be able to fight back against the Ragestride family! They wouldn't be able to force me into marriage where I have to run away!" Ariana said to herself as she clenched her fists.

"I will get my revenge one day! And you can count on it!" Ariana said as she swore she would destroy the Ragestride family when she gets back.
