6 years passed peacefully and I lived my 6 years of second life being spoiled by my brothers much to my surprise.
My father-daughter relationships is still. . . awkward.
We rarely talked with each other this past few years. One of the reason, it's because he's busy with work.
But nonetheless, sometimes we have picnic together.
In the current time, Edward is busy training to be the heir of our dukedom so he rarely visit our estate after graduating from Magic Academy.
Valerian and Carlos is still attending Magic Academy though Valerian is on his last year.
"Lady Univers, thank you so much for inviting us today."
The other noble ladies thanked me wholeheartedly while giving me a polite smile.
I had my debutante when I turned 14. After that, father often arrange me tea parties with the other noble girls who is close my age and I couldn't be more grateful.
Because sometimes it's lonely when the four of them are busy with work and school, so this is the best way to filled my loneliness, they thought.
"It's my pleasure to invite all of you. Thank you for accepting my invitation." I thanked her wholeheartedly with a gentle smile as they returned the smile.
"Lady Univers is really a beautiful and polite lady."
"Yes. No one can compare her beauty."
"Look at her long, violet hair and bright amethyst eyes. It's very beautiful that Lady Univers got the appearance of the Univers bloodline."
Well, this is a fun Tea Party that father truly arranged for me. He always asked me if it's fun or I made friends with them.
Though I don't really need friends because I have Gale.
Even though it's true, their thoughtfulness is like a gift from god for me.

"Did Lady wrote letters to the second and third young master?" Astor asked who is walking behind me like a knight would do while keeping me company.

Astor drastically changed and he became more talkative. Not only in terms of socializing, also in strength, he's the strongest young knight in our dukedom.
Though he usually ignores people when they talked to him and he's just talkative around me and my brothers for some reason.
Not that I complain. . .
"Yes. I did send them letters. Brother Carlos often replied to me, but it seems that brother Valerian is a bit busy to reply the letter. But don't get me wrong, he often send me a letter once a month." I explained briefly with a warm smile while arriving at the back garden.
At the garden, there's a white luxurious round table with a white chair. My favourite tea and snacks accompanying on the table.
Ever since I arrived at the dukedom, my favorite spot is the back garden because I can enjoy drinking tea and feels the calming atmosphere.
That's why father and brother Edward prepared it for me and thus, gifted me this back garden as my own.
Astor approach the table as he pull the seat for me to sit on it politely. I thanked him as I take a seat and start to enjoy the flowers and atmosphere.
The gardener plant many beautiful flowers so I couldn't be more grateful to him.
"What kind of book you bring this time?" Astor asked while looking at the book on the table.
I smiled as I take the book from the table and show it to him. "It's about the 'Holy One'.
"Holy one?"
"Exactly 1000 years ago when our Empire hasn't even started to manage, the Holy One appears to clear the big conflict that could bring tragedy. She has the power to control humanity and thus, making the world in peace once again. But after using her powers, the Holy One passed away shortly after that incident."

". . . I've never heard of the Holy One."
"Well, it's been 1000 years long. Most people already forgot about her existence. But most people believe that she will appear once again if our Empire face a big tragedy that can change history."
"Who is the Holy One?"
"She's a normal girl who lives her life normally until her power awoken her. Though, they didn't carved her name."
". . .Name."
I turned my head towards Astor whose gaze is directed downwards in confusion as I chuckled.
"She had a name. But they didn't wrote down her name. Everything about her was mysterious."
"Is Lady curious?"
I smiled warmly as excitement dwelled inside me. "Of course I am. . . !" I turned my head towards him as I whispered shouted at him and form a wide grin.
"In the past past few years, I always search up and learn about the Holy One. But I never got any answers."
Astor put his right hand around his chin and immersed in his own thoughts that I can't read at all. ". . . Why don't Lady Viola go to the temple?"
My eyes widened in realisation by his statement.
It's true that going to the temple will prevail the truth though we need special permission.
But I'm just really curious about what happened 1000 years ago and how the Holy One stopped the tragedy that will destroy the world.
"Yes. I think I'll get myself a permission to go to the temple." I smiled gently at him as he returned the smile. I take my cup of tea and enjoy the taste it gives. "It's peaceful~"
-
"Visiting the temple?"
Father asked, didn't bother to look at me as he focuses his gaze on the papers.
I smiled as I nodded. "Yes. I'd like to find something there. Books that are not available in public. There's some information I want to know." I explained briefly, trying to gain his attention so that he would let me visit the temple.
His hand stopped to write as he lift his head to be greeted by my amethyst eyes.
He looks tired and hasn't slept for days.
". . . I'll give you the permission."
My eyes lit up by his statement as I form a warm happy smile. "Yes. Thank you." I give him a polite bow as his lips form a small smile that is visible enough for me to see.
"I will prepare your carriage. Also, bring Astor with you."
"I understand."
"But is it really alright?"
I tilt my head to the other side, confused as I form an awkward smile. "Yes?"
Father sighed as he place one of the paper to his sight. ". . . Valerian and Carlos are going to return to the estate for their summer vacation about two days from now."
My eyes widened in realisation, noticing that if I leave, I won't greet them when they arrive home because the temple is quite far and not to mention I'll be staying there for more than a day.
But their vacation is more than a month, so I guess I can still catch up after staying a day or two in the temple.
I still have many days.
"It's alright. And even if I'm late to greet them, they can still stay in the estate for a while."
". . . Alright."
With that statement, I smiled warmly as I turned around and reach the door knob, exiting his office.
I guess I have to start preparing.
