"Beautiful princess...!" The Lady of Ross instantly puts down her teacup. It's a normal day and she has been sitting in the room for too long until her future husband came to pick her for a walk. Minutes ago they had strolled around the garden and is now taking a quick tea time...

"Come here Rya....! There are some fresh desserts from the neighbouring country!" Isabella is getting bored but eventually gets over it when she heard the loud call. This girl always amused her with stories and stupid gags to make her smile and sometimes laugh. It's so hard to make the lady show even a little bit of expression but the little girl out of nowhere bends their beliefs to the ground. "Beautiful Princess...!" The girl sprung onto her arms. They have been the closest playmates and always together. Every morning, Jasmine would visit her in the room with breakfast and sometimes they will chat around the garden or in the library. During the night, the two of them will have a storytime together before they are forced to sleep separately. "You with Hally?" Isabella chuckled "It's Harry... " she answers, caressing her hair gently. "Harr...ry? Like thath?" Ava questions some ugly hairy flowers. The flowers are black and covered with tiny white furs which makes it look like snow combined with black roots. Isabella giggles while the man almost spills his tea. "Am I that ugly, Rya?" Harry holds his head. "Yesh!" Although what she said sound cute and stupid to others but you still can see that she is being serious about it. The lady throws her head back, laughing her life out. She can't stand it! No time to mind her manners in front of him. Ava smiles sweetly seeing that the protagonist is happy and undoubtedly had lost interest in the male lead.

'Ahh... 'Finally, trust is really hard to obtain, isn't it?' Cheng stops his movie and walks over to a counter where he can get some popcorn and orange juice. 'Yes, it is hard... But someone like you will just throw it in the end...' Ava pouts at the reply. 'Then what should I do!? She has the golden locket!' Cheng can't argue with that... His mind keeps saying 'How does she know?' How can she know that something is here? They don't have a map or guide. 'How did I know?' Harry freezes... He forgot that they are mentally linked right now. 'You want to know?' Ava smirks cause she understands that curiosity gets the most of him. 'Fine... Fine! ... How do you know this would happen?'

Ava huff, since she figures it out from the beginning. 'Do you think that some noble family will marry off their daughter to someone lower than them? In which the man in question is not even the sole heir?' Cheng answers with a simple 'no' and tilts up his head. 'The kind of power Jasmine holds in her hand is a power that can control live and dead. I just want to confirm it but...the statue also has a secret connection with the locket...' Cheng widens his eyes as he realised what she is trying to say. He also notices it once he saw the statue. Although the structure is quite detailed, Ava recognized a small golden locket that matches her mother's at the screen. 'And I read the description of the statue... It says that only the sole heir can touch it or they would be burned to death' Cheng rolls his eyes indicate that the girl just read it after she took the statue. Ava dismisses the truthful response. She didn't read it because she was lazy but... Okay, it's her fault...

'What's so strange about the original story is that the sick protagonist is not that sick even though the said illness is severe. I have been waiting to meet her and all of the issues are solved...' Cheng nods every time she explains something. That's right, in this case, it's weird now that he speculates again. 'So... Who is the suspect?' She almost whacks him for being unduly clueless. 'You still don't know?'... Cheng bobbed in reply. Ava sigh and about to reveal the riddle. Cheng sits back on the couch to focus but a voice snaps her to life. The smooth voice is the one that lullaby her to sleep. They are not too high or too low, just the right note. Ava opens her eyes slowly blinking the blurring vision. The owner of the voice wakes her up from the snooze.

"Rya... Rya... Are you listening?" Isabella seems worried. Her forehead is wet with sweats as if she has gone to war. Instead, she is surprised when the girl suddenly loses conscious on her laps. Harry is already nowhere to be found looking for help. "Ops...warm! Warm! Me nap!" Ava cheerfully covers the mistaken event making the protagonist drops her worries. She almost taught that the girl has a fever from the heat because the temperature is quite hot and the girl seems too fragile. " Don't concern me like that anymore... Understand..." Isabella cuddles her tightly, this girl is the most precious person in her life. More than her father is. She is the only one that would stay with her despite the worst situation and defend her from danger even if she is completely vulnerable. "Okay!" They both giggle at her feedback...

Maids swarms the garden, all of them gathered around and one of them strides forward. "Oh... You guys are quite late!" Isabella scolds them with a harsh voice. How could they be so unprofessional as the royal maid? While Isabella is glaring at them, Ava already senses a bad feeling when she saw the volunteered maid. She is round and wears a black and white tight uniform. The maid yanks Ava's hair to get her off to the ground. Ezekiel hurriedly rushes over to her daughter and send her to the maids.

"What are you doing!" The shocked male lead desires to alleviate but is stopped by his father in law. Isabella is puzzled by the sudden situation. She tries to stand but to no attempt, falls back to the four-wheeled chair. Ezekiel orders two maids to lock the little girl away. He turns towards her daughter and walks her back to the building. "Father! What are you doing! She is just a child!" Isabella screams sternly. She is too horrified by her father but there is nothing she can do. Harry is furious that he tries to shot a punch but the guards are quicker than he taught. They beat him up in front of his fiancee just to let her see how powerful and capable the lord is... "I'll kill you! When this news reaches the lilacs...I swear you will die!" The male lead frantically strives to fight but his body weakens from the broken ribs...

"Ugh...twinkleberry!" The maids shove her inside a big room which is supposed to be the interrogate room of the mansion. This place is where the noblemen discuss issues of crimes and such. At the centre, is a long table with a spread map on top of it. Ava supports herself to stand right. She hisses in pain from the big impact on her legs. Her level is not enough to support the body fully but one thing for sure she is in big trouble.

"Ava! Why the hell did he do that for!?" Cheng jumps on her shoulder. Ava reveals a sinister smile. She didn't seem surprised and that is disturbing for the tiny guardian. Ava sits on the ready couch. She neatly combs her messy hair to the back before letting out a sigh.

" Of course I wouldn't be surprised..."

Footsteps echoed in the hall making the tiny doll flinch and hide himself once again but he still hears the small whisper he gets...

"The lord, Ezekiel Ross... Is the king "...
