I woke up and looked at the ceiling. The ceiling wasn’t violet, but light purple with golden decorations of flowers.

I sat up and touched my head.

I was feeling a bit dizzy. But.. i was shocked about what i was seeing.

I was in a bedroom.. not in my bedroom, but a very.. much nicer bedroom. It wasn’t made with wood.. rather it was very clean and shiny.. There were big two windows on my right and a huge

white carpet with light violet decorations in it on the floor. There was also a fancy desk.. fancy sofas.. fancy little table.. it all seemed so.. elegant. Everything was decorated with light puurple, white and gold.

“W-where am i?” I was confused.

“Mister Exios? Mister Exios?” I continued calling him, but there was no response.

“Wait a second..”

---------------------------------

“Found you.” Said the man with short dark green hair and light purple eyes with round glasses.

“Huh? Uh.. who..?” I was confused. I didn’t know who he was.

“What’s your name little one?”

“...Liliana..”

“Nice to meet you Liliana” He smiled at me.

“Uhm.. if you are searching for mister Exios he-”

“Actually i’m here for you.” Smiles

“huh?.. Uhm..”

“My name is Denver.” smiles

“Hello.. Mister Denver..” ‘He’s here.. for me?’

“Liliana i have a favor to ask you.”

“Yes..?”

“Would you mind turning around?” Smiles

“Uh.. sure..?” I slowly turned around.

‘Uh.. this is awkward-’

“Sorry there little one, but i’ll need you to sleep for a bit.”

Suddenly.. my vision went black.

-------------------------------------------

“That’s..what happened earlier.. but where am i now? Why did Mister Denver…”

I looked at my hand and sensed something strange about it.

‘Why does it feel like something changed?’

I shook my head and decided to walk around the room. I looked at the luxurios furniture, i took a look in the closet which had many

pretty clothes. Then i decided to take a look through the window.

‘What..’ I saw a massive city below me.

“WHAT?!”

I was shocked of the view. I still didn’t know where i was.

Suddenly…

Creek

“Good afternoon Lady Liliana.”

I turned around. There were three ladies with long dresses. The one who was talking was in the one in the middle. She had her brown hair tied in a bun and had light brown eyes. She had a cold expression on her face.

“W-what- w-who-”

“We are sorry that we are only calling her by her name. Duke Erfen told us that he doesn’t know your full name.. Would you tell us her full name?”

“M-my full name?”

“Yes.”

‘Uh.. should i use Mister Exios’s surname..?’

“uhm.. my name is Liliana Einar..”

I decided to use mister Exios’s Surname.

“Then..” All the three ladies bowed in front of me.

“Good Afternoon Lady Liliana Einar. We are your Lady-In-Waitings, for now. Duke Denver appointed us for her. Please let us treat her well.”

“w-what is happening?.. Where am i?.. where is Mister Exios?”

I didn’t know why they bowed in front of me, but i wanted to know why i was there and where Mister Exios was.

“Lady Liliana we are sorry for the inconvenience. You might be confuse on about what is happening right now, but Duke Denver told us that he will talk to you in person.”

“Where is Mister Exios?”

“As i said earlier, Duke Denver will talk to you about everything you need to know.”

“…” I was a bit upset. I woke up in a place where i don’t know and with people who i don’t know. I wante dto get out of there.

“Will you atleast tell me where i am? I get it that Duke Denver will tell me

everything that i need to know, but he’s not here. Atleast tell me where i am. Please.” ‘I already have lost my memories and no one can’t tell me what’s happening?’

“...I guess Duke Derven was right. Lady Liliana really has lost her memories. We are sorry, we were being rude.”

I touched my head. It was still a bit fuzzy.

“Lady Liliana is in the palace right now. The Emperial Palace of Ephamour. You are in one of the guests room, the special guest room.”

“Emperial.. Palace.. of.. Ephamour?”

-------------------------------------

“Is the Emperial Palace a bad place?” I asked to Mister Exios.

“No.. it’s not..” He responded.

-------------------------------------

“...you know that the emperor adores you, right?…” -Clarkson

“… the emperor wants me to give this to you…” Clarkson leaves the envelope on the table.

-------------------------------------

“...i’m.. in the palace..”

“Lady Liliana we will now begin to dress you up. We can’t let you meet with Duke Denver in that condition.”

“..eh?”

------------------------------------

‘When they said that they had to dress me up..’

Meanwhile my hair was getting combed by one of the Lady-In-Waitings.

‘..did they mean that they had to strip me up?’

I was wearing a cute light violet white dress. They also added some accessories.

‘They also.. bathed me..’

“Lady Liliana you really have soft hair” smiles

Said the lady-in-waiting that was combing my hair. She had light pink hair and grey eyes. She was very kind to me.

“...thank you..” ‘Atleast to of them are smiling, the one that has a cold expression on her face seems to be the one in charge here..’

“May i ask.. how old Lady Liliana is?”

“uhm.. i really don’t know how old i am, but Mister Exios guessed that i’m 11 years old..”

“Ah, right. I’m sorry, i shouldn’t have asked!”

“It’s okay..”

“My name is Inanna.” She smiled.

“..hello Inanna..”

“The other one with short orange hair and yellow eyes is Phoebe. And the one with brown hair and brown eyes is Vesta.”

“..nice to meet you all, i guess.”

‘They are all pretty nice, but.. i don’t feel very comfortable here.’

“Are you okay Lady Liliana?”

“Yes.. uh can i meet Mister Denver?”

“Oh. Uhm.. i need to ask Vesta. But Vesta said that you will meet Duke Denver later, so i’m sure you will meet him.”

“okay, thanks..”

‘I need to meet him as soon as possible.. i want to get out of here..’

“Okay.. we are done! You look so cute!”

I looked at the mirror.

“Yeah.. thanks.” I really didn’t care about how i looked, i was much more worried about the situation.

Inanna then talked to Vesta and came back to me.

“Lady Liliana, Vesta said that you will meet with Duke Denver later, for now you will have to wait.”

“Okay..” sighs

“I’m sure that everything will be fine.” She smiled.

“You seem very intelligent and mature at this age, Lady Liliana.”

“Why do you think that?”

“Because of your manners and about how you are handling this situation. You seem calm, but still you are nervous in the inside.”

“Ah.. is that suppose to be a compliment?”

“O-of course! I didn’t mean it as an insult!”

“hahaha” i chuckled.

“I mean.. i’ve only known you for 1 hour so.. i still need to know more about you.”

“I’m worried about what is happening right now.. and i’m worried about Mister Exios..”

“I figured since you had a worried expression on your face..”

“You seem very kind and caring miss Inanna.”

“O-oh. Thank you..”

creek someone opened the door.

It was a man in a suit.

“Good Afternoon Lady Liliana……” The man stopped talking for a moment.

“Lady Liliana Einar.” Said Miss Vesta.

“Yes, i’m sorry. Lady Liliana Einar.”

“Good afternoon..” I said.

“Duke Denver is waiting for you in the tea room.”

“Well then, Lady Liliana let’s get going.” Said Miss Vesta.

-----------------------------------

As i was walking the hall of the palace with the lady-in-waitings and with the man, who introduced himself as Mister Erix..

“woah..” i was speechless. The interior designs were made with gold. The carpet was with a dark violet color and there were so many big windows on my left that showed a spectacular view.

The walls were full of paintings and decorations.

“It’s pretty, isn’t it?” Said Miss Inanna.

“Yeah.. i never been into a place like this before..”

I was still walking, admiring the room untill..

bump! I bumped into Miss Vesta’s back.

“Oh!” I exclaimed.

“Lady Liliana!” Said Miss Inanna.

“Lady!” Said Miss Phoebe.

“We are here Lady Liliana.” Said Miss Vesta, still with a cold face.

“A-ah, i’m sorry.”

The door infront of us slowly opened and..

creek

The scent was good, the room was filled with different tea bags in different shelfs, there were many plant decorations and 3 big windows on the wall that’s on the middle of the room.

Then i saw Duke Denver sitting on a chair in the middle of the room with a small table.

“Good Afternoon Duke Denver Achlys.” They bowed.

“Liliana we meet again.” He smiled.

He was wearing an elegant green suit.

‘This is a surprise. It’s my first time seeing someone with a different color.’

I entered the room. The others closed the door behind me. We were the only ones in the room. I sat down on the chair.

“How are you?”

“Could you please tell me where Mister Exios is?” I ignored his question and asked him right away about Mister Exios.

“Ah, Exios Einar? Well.. he will be here in a couple of days, no need to worry.” He sipped a cup of tea.

“What? Couple of days? Why?”

“Don’t worry, he will be here in a short time. For now enjoy your time in the palace.”

“I want to see mister Exios now.” I said looking right through his eyes.

“I told you that Mister Exios Einar will be here shortly.” He smiled.

In Denver’s mind ‘I bet that this one will cause a tarantum-’

“Fine. I’ll wait.”

“Oh. Well then i’m glad you didn’t cause a ruckus.”

“Will you then explain me what is happening right now? Why am i here?”

“Sure.” He smiled.

“Right now.. you are here because the Emperor wanted you.”

“…. why would he want me?”

“Don’t worry, he doesn’t want to harm you, for now. He just wants to know more about your.. abilities. He decided that you will be staying here in the palace for a long period of time or.. maybe.. forever” He smiled.

“W-what? Why? I don’t get it.”

“Listen kid.. i heard that you lost your memories so there are a few things that you need to know. In this world there are 4 Empires. Each Empire have a specific Lycoris. Lycoris are flowers that rappresent each Empire. The Empire of Ephamour, us, have the Violet Lycoris. The Empire of Sluxiston has the Blue Lycoris. The Empire of Akeotretus has the Green Lycoris… and the last Empire, the Everereal Empire, has the Red Lycoris.”

‘So there are other empires...’

“Each royal blood has the power of the Lycoris that they rappresent, that are called Coris. Coris are the Lycoris’s powers. Every royal blood has a coris inside them, like me. I have the violet coris from the violet Lycoris, but the only differences are that even if we have the same color of the Coris doesn’t mean that we have the same abilities and powers.”

“Okay…”

“Meaning that every royal blood has different abilities and powers. A royal can also have no powers, but have abilities. On the contrary a royal can have no abilities, but have powers. Like me. I have no abilities, but have the power of witchcraft. I can make any potions with only just my hand and use them.” He said smiling.

“okay… so you used your… witchcraft.. on me.. earlier..”

“That’s right. What a smart child.”

“yeah.. uh.. i guess anyone with any age could have figured that out.”

“I have no abilities on speed and strenght or like that, i just use my hands and make something with it.”

“Okay..”

“Now.. let’s talk about your coris.” He sipped his tea.

“I-i have a coris?”

“Yes, you do. But your not from this bloodline.”

“What..?”

“Your from nobody’s bloodline.”

“uh…?”

“Because you have the White Lycoris.”

“W-White Lycoris?”

“Yes. I suppose that no one has told you about this? Even.. Mister Exios himself?”

“No.. nobody has ever told me this.”

“You know.. white Lycoris was a flower that only the gods from the sky have created, like the other Lycoris’s. But.. this flower was much more special than the other ones.”

“And.. why is that..?”

“Because this flower can make you have both. Abilities and powers. With those two.. you are invincible. Almost immortal.”

“And.. i have that flower?!”

“Yes. The only thing defect is that.. you really have low health.”

“Health? You mean..”

“Yes. Depending on how they damage you phisically or mentally you could die in an instant.”

“i..”

“You’re still a kid. You could die even from small poisons.”

“…” I was speechless.

“Anyway.. Oracles have been told that the white Lycoris can be only found and given to the one who deserves it. And in order to that they must go to the most dangerous place that the God of Death created. But there was one oracle that was told, but no one believed in it. This oracle said that the dangerous places are just tests and that the only real place is the one

that the Goddess of life created, where in that place..you have to take your own life and soul in order to get the white Lycoris.”

“Why.. did no one believe in it?”

“Because.. the Goddess of Life created many things, like us. It would be likely impossible to know a place that the Goddes of life created, because she created everything. Everything that’s been living now has been

created by her.”

“Well.. that oracle did really not make sense.”

“So.. then.. do you know what doesn’t make sense to me?”

“What?”

“You having the white lycoris.”
