Today is the day I'm finally going home and when Ari will come back from the first timeline. The sun is just rising making the scene as we go along very comforting.

"Ah home sweet home, I wonder how they will react"

Walking to the entrance I held my hand to my mouth as I signalled the Guards to be quiet. Dad is already awake at this time so I decided to meet with him, I just nodded to the greetings I've received from the maids and butlers. Standing in front of his study room I held my hand against the door and started knocking in the rhythm I use to let people know it's me. So without waiting for a reply, I swung the door open and got myself embraced in a loving manner.

"I missed you Dad..."

"I missed you too"

After that reunion we started talking about what how we were when I was young and when Mom was still alive. I also got questioned about my new earring which is in fact actually a piercing, like why is it in magenta color. I told him that it reminds me of Mother. Not bothering to tell him it's filled with her blood cause that will sound horrifying.

Then we were outside with the knights in training. Then I saw a familiar red head doing rounds, and wow he be got taller since the last time I saw him. And I'm just waiting when he'll notice me, while I also wait for Tia to wake up. And the moment Mom died, memories from the first timeline me flooded up my head.

"Papa!"

There she is...as beautiful as the day I left her. Get it together An! But it's already too late, I'm already a siscon. So I quickly ran to her, squatting while patting her back.

"Tia what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

"Brother!"

I was immediately embraced by the neck with one of her arms as she continued crying. I continued patting her in the back but a bit awkwardly since I'm not used to this touchy touchy act. Since she

Didn't look like stopping any sooner I started humming softly, but only she can hear me. I was humming to her the last lullaby I sung to her before I died.(Isabella's lullaby)

It was my instinct to hum that song to her. Now she's starting to calm down.

TIMESKIP

I let Ari and father go to the palace first, as I wanted to ride my horse to get there. Once I pulled up at the entrance, I just strutted in while wearing the La Monique Crest at right ear. Once I reached the door where Ari is at being questioned, the knights stopped me.

"The emperor will meet you after this audience"

I kept silent and just nodded as I turn my heel to start walking to the garden where the tree is at. But as soon as I started walking back, I was face to face with Ruveliss and his aide.

"Greetings future Son of the Castina Empire"

I did my signature greeting, but when I made eye contact with him. Those disturbing thoughts start to invade my head, which made my eyes more dull than usual. Without waiting for a reply, I started walking away which ended with a full on sprint. As soon as I reached the tree where me and Ari used to stroll around in the past. Then I heard her footsteps with the crown prince coming from a different direction.

"How absolutely insolent you are, you think you can keep your head up high? Simply because everyone praises you?"

I kept my footsteps silent as I spread my left arm out to slightly push Ari behind me. As I keep my head slightly looking behind me, to see her cowering in fear of the past.

"Apologies your highness, my Sister is feeling unwell"

"Well...fine. I see there's no point in speaking to you, anymore than this"

With that he walked past us and as soon as he left. She slumped down and held her head while whimpering.

"Ah!"

And as soon as she did, I too knelt down to comfort her. Knowing she can't hear me in this state, I held her head on my chest. Burying my face in her neck as I tell her.

"My sweet Ari, don't worry Brother will help you escape this fate"
