The weeks flew by in the blink of an eye. The preparations for Kyra's birthday kept everyone busy. There were dresses to be fitted for, etiquette classes to be attended and invitations to be sent. The Duchess really outdid herself in organising everything perfectly for that day. Everyone was looking forward to the little misses 10th birthday party. Nobles from all over the capital were invited. Even the royal family received an invitation so a lot of people would come even if it would be to catch a glimpse of the Prince's and Princess of the kingdom.

She got ready and in no time guests started to arrive at the manor. There was live music and the hall was decorated to perfection. Immediately she stepped out of her room, she could see Kion a ways off, down the hall waiting for her. She stopped dead in her tracks as she got closer to him, as she couldn't help but stare at that handsome face. He really was handsome. No wonder she fell for him in her last life.

"Is the outfit not to your liking Lady Kyra?" he asked with a raised brow as he fiddled his fingers. She simply smiled and said that he looked so dashing that she couldn't help but stare at him, causing him to blush and turn away. He offered her his hand, as she took it and walked her to the ballroom.

All eyes were on them, as their arrival was announced and the doors were opened. She could feel their piercing gazes trying to size her up and figure out who the little boy beside her was. He may have looked like a noble in his fancy clothes but since all nobles knew one another, everyone knew that he was not of noble blood.

Words started to fly as people murmured amongst themselves and gossiped about who he could be. A country side noble perhaps? or the son of a fallen noble family? or worst yet a commoner? It was no surprise as whoever it was that escorted the young lady of the De Leta household would definitely be the center of attention as well, as nothing was more important at such a gathering than political standing and one's background.

They danced and ate and mingled. She introduced Kion to anyone who cared to listen, making no exceptions for the noble children in attendance. She went to great lengths to ensure that Kion had met all of them. As the party was drawing closer to its end, there was an up roar as the arrival of the royal family was announced.

Everyone fixed their gaze towards the entrance as the King and the 1st and 2nd prince's walked in. The first and second Prince, Carcel and Theodore Vontigo. The Princess seemed to not be in attendance, same as the Queen. It was to be expected since she was just about 8 years old at the time.

His majesty was welcomed by the Duke as the 2nd Prince made his way in a straight bee line towards Kyra. His eyes never wavering from the boy who stood next to her, with her hand in his. His face looking very much annoyed by the sight. They greeted eachother and she could see the disdain and curiosity written all over the 2nd prince's face.

"Your highness, Prince Theo , this is Kion, my escort for tonight." she said.

"Well, I can clearly see that Lady Kyra. I couldn't help but notice that you didn't mention his family name. I would like to know which family's son has been able to tame the heart of the Tyrant Princess of the De Leta Duchy," he said smugly.

The 2nd Prince always knew how to talk in a round about way and poke at people. But Kyra was used to it after all those years of being played by him and Kion. She coolly said " He is but a commoner your highness, so he doesn't have a family name worth mentioning".

Prince Theo laughed and eyed Kion coldly as he mixed insults into his greeting. But Kion didn't react and simply treated him with respect and answered only when spoken to. Seeing as how he couldn't get a rise out of Kion, he simply clicked his tongue and excused himself in displeasure.

From the corner of her eye, Kyra spotted the 1st Prince surrounded by a lot of nobles. Everyone wanted to talk to him since he seemed the most likely to become the crowned Prince. If only they knew that in just 10 years, the 1st Prince would be assassinated and the 2nd Prince would try to take the throne for himself.

On that note, for the sake of her revenge. Kyra had to become close with the 1st Prince. Not much was said about him except that he was a kind and intelligent person. He barely spoke and would hardly smile or interact with other people.

Kyra followed the 1st Prince as she saw him excuse himself towards one of the gardens. It was time to put her plan into motion.

She stood behind some rose bushes as she watched him. He was clearly thinking about something deeply as he stared into the fountain water. The gears in her head were spinning. She didn't know much about him, so she was practically clueless on how to approach him and gain his favour. She decided to go with the most cliché encounter she could think of. Brimming with tears, a hand covering her face to shield her, she ran full speed towards where he stood. She bumped into him on purpose, knocking him back to his senses. With just enough acting, she swayed backwards as though to fall, just to be caught in his arms.

'That was perfect,' she thought to herself. With a shaky voice, she lowered her trembling hand and gasped in fake shock upon seeing the Prince holding her. His face obviously depicting worry. She quickly stood upright and spoke.

"I greet the second Sun of the Balverich Enpire, the 1st Prince Carcel Vantigo," she bowed.

"It's aright Lady Kyra, let's forget the formalities. You seem to be crying, what is wrong?" he asked.

With more tears flowing down her cheeks, she looked him dead in the eyes and said with a wry smile, "It's nothing your highness, my shoes must be too tight, causing me a lot of discomfort and pain. Nothing your highness needs to worry about," she said as she sniffled, trying to steady her voice.

He really was a sucker for people in pain or in need of comforting. He gently ushered her to sit at the edge of the fountain. And to her surprise, he got down on bent knee and began to unfasten her shoes. She tried to stop him, feigning that it was improper and he was of too high a status to be doing such, but he shrugged her off and continued. With her shoes off and him sitting beside her, she couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. That was a perfect chance encounter, if she could say so herself.

"Sorry if this may be coming late," he said, breaking her train of thought "but happy birthday Lady Kyra". He smiled at her gently and turned to get something out of his pocket. He took out a nicely wrapped jewelry box and handed it to her, and bid her a goodnight and for her feet to stop hurting.

As he walked away she shouted out him to him. "Thank you so much for the present. I know this may be shameless of me as a noble lady but would your highness like to become friends?"

He looked taken aback but quickly recovered and simply smiled. "Of course Lady Kyra, although I've never had a friend before. I hope to be in your care, and you may drop the formalities as well."

Grinning from ear to ear she nodded in consent as she finally watched him disappear. Mission successful. Truly, the best way to become friends with such a nice person is to simply give them a reason to take care of you or want to help you. She put her shoes back on and retired for the night. There was much she had to plan and put in order. And who knows, maybe she could even be engaged to the 1st Prince in this life just to spite Kion and the 2nd Prince.

    It was hardwork, but her efforts were finally paying off. The maids and other workers in the manor were starting to open up to her little by little. It had been a few months and the rumors going round about the Tyrant Kyra, have been dialed down. She didn't blame them though, even she would have had a hard time believing that someone who was known to throw tantrums and bully maids just for fun would turn over a new leaf in such a short time.The best part was that with her new relationship with everyone, she could start gathering those who would be her people and know those who would support Kion later. The most trust worthy person was the maid who was with her when she first came back. Betty; she had completely stopped her trembling now and even treated Kyra so lovingly, almost like a little sister. And after she was made to be Kyra's personal maid, she was able to hear about a lot of rumors and get information from her. Yet, she wasn't satisfied, she needed a network outside of the

    Three years had gone by.Kyra was a year away from enrolling at the academy just like her brother, when she remembered something important. The reason her brother wasn't able to succeed as the head of the family in her past life. It was when he had gone to the academy for his second year, and an incident occurred, causing him to be disabled, and the Duke would rather die than have a disabled person become head of the household. No matter how talented the person is or even if that person were to be his own son. Saving her brother and making sure he becomes head of the house would be another means of getting revenge against Kion.Kyra had built a closer relationship with her brother in this life but she wasn't sure if it was close enough that he would believe her and take her word for it if she was to warn him before hand. So, to build their trust, she predicted little things for him. Like telling him what attire she feels the Duchess would wear on a certain day, or what meal she feels w

    It had been two weeks, and a letter arrived for Kyra at the estate. There was no sender except for the initial 'E' written on it, but she knew exactly who it was from. She opened it and read it. As expected of the guild master, he already knew her request and had supplied her with the information she needed or rather, wanted to hear. He had also enclosed an invite for a later date, for them to meet and talk about the terms of their contract. All was going as planned, when suddenly she was summoned by her father.Standing in his office, he hadn't said anything. It had been well over 5 minutes since she had come in and he hadn't said a word as he scribbled away. The office was filled with nothing but the scritch-scratch sound his pen made on the papers and the sound of both of their shallow breaths. He had even told his secretary to excuse them when she first came in so this silence was really unnerving and even becoming slightly annoying.He finally cleared his thro

    It didn't take long for them to get her a magic tutor. And even though it was her second time at it, she was still not that good at using magic. For a descendant of the well known De Leta house of Mages, to not be good at magic. It was quite a big ordeal. It was one of the reasons she felt so inferior in her past life and ended up taking out her anger on anyone and everyone especially the saintess candidate . She found out that she was only adept at the theoretical aspects of magic. It was truly a shame since she had the De Leta blood flowing in her veins. Even when she enrolled at the academy, she was falling behind everyone else and she took out her frustration on those around her which caused her to be hated by her peers and added to the bad rap she got as a villainess. That reminded her again that there was someone she wasn't looking forward to seeing at the academy. There was going to be a girl by the name of Fiona who would also enrol at the academy under the Holy Church. She wa

    All the main characters had made it into the academy. The children of the 3 main ducal families, Kion who is to be known as the best swordsmaster and Fiona, the saintess candidate. Unlike her last life, she did her best to avoid Fiona, especially when she was around Kion. As though it was directed by fate, or maybe because they were both commoners who got admitted because of their talents, Fiona and Kion got along very well. The 2nd Prince even started hanging around Kion more openly which made her wonder when the two became so close. From the information the Lotus guild had been providing her, before their enrolment, Kion and the 2nd Prince had met only 2 times outside of her 10th birthday , both meetings not holding much meaning to them. Talking about weird events, it seemed odd that the 1st Prince who was a year older, and whom was supposed to be in the academy a year before she, was actually in her year. She heard rumors that he had refused to enrol the year before, gi

    She couldn't help but smile as she read the notice. The Sparrow Club for nobles was hosting one of its meetings later that week, and new members were being encouraged to attend. It would simply look as though they were inviting new members, but reading the notice further, anyone with half a brain would be able to tell that they were talking to only nobles, and only nobles whose family's had high enough positions in high society. She had been keeping an eye out for this opportunity. There were a few people she needed to meet and establish good relations with them to further aid her revenge. People whose very existence would hold a lot of authority and power by the time they graduate from the academy."I hope you don't think they will let you join," the 2nd Prince said with a smug look on his face.

The club members would be going on a trip for the first time in a long while and worst of all, they were being accompanied by a very suspicious person.

She had seen him once or twice during club meetings and had assumed he once attended the school and was an alumnus of the Sparrow Club.

    Back at the academy, everyone was throwing a fit after finding out that three of their students had been kidnapped. And not just any ordinary students, but the only daughter of the De Leta house, the only son of the Laton house and the 1st Prince of the Balverich empire. The Headmaster let out a big sigh that could be heard by the Club president and his executives over the crystal ball used for communication. He had to keep things under wraps and find the kids quickly. Nothing like this had ever happened before. There were a lot of suspects as to who might have kidnapped the 1st prince, but none came to mind when it came to the De Leta villainess or the Golden heir. All hell could break loose if word got out about this, so the headmaster had already instructed that all students on the trip should be cut off from communicating with outsiders, especially their parents. The trip would have to be put on hold until the students were found. "Headmaster, what should we do?" the president as

    He was losing a lot of blood and things were not looking good at all. He could hardly evade its attacks and counter-attacking was clearly not an option. The space was just too narrow. Carcel could only hope that Kyra had made it out of the alley safely and that Damien had taken her away to get help or something.He could no longer use his left hand and his right thigh was slashed and bleeding profusely. The thought of him dying crossed his mind and he smiled. He hadn't gotten the opportunity to confess his feelings more seriously yet. He couldn't die here. He blocked another attack when he heard Kyra scream from behind him. He turned around, forgetting that he had an opponent to face and got slashed in the back as well. He fell to his knees and gritted his teeth in pain. He had to save Kyra, was she unable to get to Damien? Were there two of the monsters? Why was no one coming to their aid even though they were making so much noise and the night market was not that far away

    They were back at school, and she had her signed approval to go for the club trip. It was going to span over 5 days and that's because they were going to a neighbouring country and it would take almost 2 days just to get there, even by teleportation gates. Everything was going fine, Fiona was always with Kion, the 2nd Prince was always scowling whenever he saw her, Carcel was behaving like a lost puppy and Damien was avoiding her, most likely out of embarrassment at his bold move during the break. The day of their departure arrived and Kyra could not find her book. In case you're wondering, it's the same one she had written down events of her past life. Maybe she just could not remember where she put it or maybe because she was in a rush but she had no choice but to depart without it. She would just have to look for it more thoroughly later and she just hoped that nothing would happen since her being part of the Sparrow Club and going on their trip with them had not happened before.
