Her hands didn't reached my face, instead a pair of large hands pushed me. Everything went slow as I gaze at the man who pushed me by the road, " Your soul doesn't belong here, My child. " He said, as I looked at his stained glass eyes as my vision swirled because of the impact of the bus.

" Lady Clarisse? Are you alright? " I woke up in daze as I saw the face of my most trusted knight, He looked concern by the fact that I'm currently unresponsive. I looked around to find myself in a very familiar room filled with books and filed reports.

" Is it time? " I asked as he nodded, " Then let us go to the tower Dillon. " I said as I got up from my chair and went out of the room. " Dillon, You must do anything to protect the people, ok? " He looked confused, " I swear by the oath of loyalty that I stay true to your orders and wishes. " I nodded my head in agreement as I recalled the details of the oath of loyalty.

" Yet, Lady Clarisse. As I am bound to you by soul and will obey your orders unconditionally, the only order I fear..." He suddenly went quiet as I recalled that this kind of conversation had happened before. I smiled as we were in front of the double doors in the tower, " I know that your afraid about the possibility of me ordering you to kill me, But I am not that cruel of a person to order a precious person to take my life. " He looked at me with fear, " Then, does that mean you will hire someone to kill you?! " He exclaimed. 

I laughed, He looked perplexed, " Dillon, when did you learn to be so funny? Of course not! Why would I even do that. " I managed to squeeze my words as I wipe away the tears in my eyes. " Please don't joke about something involving your life. " He said as he held his head and sighed.

I smiled as I opened the door, yet why do I see myself in the floor. ' What is happening ' I thought as I realized that this was the day I died. ' Again huh? He said that I don't belong there, and yet I still died early. ' I noticed the door suddenly burst open as I saw a familiar face with a look of horror and grief.

He came running, but as soon as he was close to my body on the ground his steps got weaker and weaker. I couldn't move nor I can speak, and as if one of them can see me as I am now just a drifting soul. I saw him gingerly placed both of his hands to my face and felt for a pulse, He didnt felt any as his head slumped down, but the hands holding my face gently lifted my body in a princess carry as he let my lower half rest on his knees.

I couldn't see his face as he was still looking down, then I saw him move his head to the direction of the man who killed me. His face was twisted with horror as he kneeled down, " What is her last order? " He asked in such a cold tone that it was enough to sent the grieving soldiers to their knees and hold their throat.

" M-My lord! " His right hand man struggled to reach out to his commander, " Get the rest out of here, Alistair." He ordered as Alistair flinced and began to move his body as if a large weight was removed. " I will ak you again, what was her last order. " He went back to interrogate the man as he continued to held my body as if its made of glass.

" Stop them from invading, that is my final order. " He said the exact same words I uterred, as I felt myself moving closer to Dillon, each step broke a piece of the place as the walls cracked and shattered af if it was made of glass to reveal a dark and hollow plane of space.

The plane continued to shatter and the only place left was Dillon helding my body, I couldn't take it anymore as I felt my body hug him, I noticed his body flinch as I felt his gaze pierce me, I looked up and saw that his eyes were looking directly at me, " Clarisse. " He said in such a broken tone, I couldn't say anything and just smiled at him.

" You said that you won't die, Why did you let this happen Clarisse! " He asked me as my body shattered and the only people inside this place are me and him. " You already knew that this would happen right?! That's why you asked to be left alone in that room! " His voice continued to broke.

I gesture my head in NO as his grip he unknowingly placed in my shoulders tightened. He suddenly went quiet, "The people are safe, we all managed to handle the pest who took you away from me. " He said as he continued to look down.

" Everyone was sad and grieving your death until now as I sleep, Everyone fought hard to avenge you, yet even after 14 years you are still in all our hearts. " He explained, I poked his face, " Lucian. " I spoke, Finally I can speak again. He looked up as I saw tears in his eyes.

" Lucian, I didn't die just to cause grief and saddness for our people. Please, help them to be happy for my sake. " I asked as I saw my body hands slowly became pale, " I think it's time for me to go now. " I said as He looked at me, " Don't go Clarisse, please. Don't." He pleaded as I felt my hair grew longer and turn into the shade of Snow silver.

" Don't worry, I'm always here. " I said as he held my dissipating hands, He looked at me in the eye, " I will find you. As long as I am bound to you, I will find you again and again. " He swore, I smiled as He held me tightly and wrapped me in his embrace. " I will see you again. " He said as I was place in another plane.

" The Duke must be grieving until now, his belovedwife died after a month to gave birth to their daughter, " I saw the maids dressed in mourning clothes gossiping as I walked around the familiar mansion. " *hik How can the mistress die like this. " I also passed by grieving maids as I walked towards my destination.

The room wasn't locked as I saw a beautiful white casket in the middle of the big room and a man standing alone near a crib where a baby is currently sleeping. I walked towards the scene as I finally saw the face of the man who looked lifeless while holding a rail of the crib.

His silver white hair and cobalt blue colored eyes are beautiful as if it were crystals yet they lack life. " I'm sorry, I coudn't be with you Amaryllis. You suffered alone, what kind of husband am I? " He said as his grip tightened.

" I shouldn't have let you bear a child if I knew this would have happened. I'm sorry. " He apologized again.

I felt a light tap in my shoulders to see a beautiful woman with black hair and silver eyes hug me and pulled me towards the Duke. " It seems that I have left Anniza to suffer alone all this time that's why I am dreaming something like this again. I'm sorry for neglecting her Amaryllis, After your death, I did care for Anniza yet the sudden surge of work from the vassal began flowing and I couldn't take care of her day and night. " He explained as he cradled the baby in the crib.

The baby was sleeping as her short locks of White silver visible and she was neatly wrapped around a white and silver embroidered blanket. He cradled Anniza as the baby slowly woke up and revealed her pale-blue innocent little eyes and looked at her father before turning her eyes in our direction. She began to reached and tiny arms and giggle.

The Duke looked perplexed, " This is the first time Anniza woke up in my dream. " He said as he looked at our direction, he froze. " Amaryllis? Anniza? " He asked, quiet shocked. Amaryllis was smilling and walked towards the Duke to hug him, " This..can't be real. How..after all these years. " His words were broken as Amaryllis laughed and kissed baby Anniza's head.

" You're here, and so as Anniza. How can this happen. " He handed Anniza to her mother which she gladly did and cradled her. " Why aren't you coming over here Anniza? " He asked me as I stepped back, I smiled at him as I clasped my shoulder. ' I'm not your real daughter, so I think I should distance myself. ' I thought as Amaryllis began to pout.

" What are you saying your not my daughter?  You are my Daughter Rene. " She said as she floated towards  me and hugged me. I was confused, " The one who rules this world visited my dream when I was pregnant with you, He told my that my child has her soul in half and that he would find her other half to sned her here. And you are her other half, So you are still my child. I'm your real mother. " She explained as the Duke was as confused as ever.

I'm..your real? I struggle to accept her words. " Yes, you are. This was the first time you got here because the one who ruled this world failed to bring you back again and again. But this was the only successful attempt. " She said as she held my hand. " You may not believe me, but you are still my daughter and I will always be your mother. " She said proudly as she wiped a my tears I unconciously released.

" Oh dear, you have been through a lot my dear Rene. " She held my face as the scene began to blur, " My dearest child, I will always be with you." She said as the plane fade into nothingless.

The sudden light that penetrated my eyes woke me up from my slumber, " Good morning, my lady. " I heard Veronica greet me as I sat up from my bed, " Oh! Are you alright my lady?! "She exclaimed as I felt the droplets of water run down my face, I smiled. " I'm ok. Don't worry. " and went up and prepare for the day.

" Now then, shall we go to the main office now? " Veronica smiled and bowed, she opened the door as we went to the main office. I may be their daughter, but I still need to distance myself because my other half died while here I am using her body. I thought as I enetered the office and it looks like a storm has passed the office and a pile of unconsious body were spread out.

" My lady! you came. " Fabian greeted me behind his desk and a pile of reports, his glasses was crooked as his sports a dark undereye and stacked layers of tea besides him. I sighed and began to heal the personnels again, they better get a vacation after this.

" Don't worry Fabian, after this whole situation is over. All of you will have a vacation for 2 weeks. " I declared as the personnel's went quiet as Fabian dropped his pen. " My lady, are you serious? " One of the workers close to me asked. " Of course! You all worked hard right? None of you all have any vacations yet right? " I asked, they all shaked their head in NO. " Or are you all perhaps, Don't like to have a vacation? " K shouldn't have said that.

"NO MY LADY!!" They all shouted as I covered my ears. I laughed as some officers wiped away their tears and others hugging each other. Fabian on the other hand was still quiet, but he slowly walked towards be and bowed. " Thank you, my lady! You're our Savior. " He said as I stepped back because of the sudden overwhelming thank you I received.

" You all must have worked hard huh? Don't worry, I always stay true to my words. It please have a vacation by groups because if all of you went on a vacation in the same time, the main office of our house will be in a state of chaos once you all went back. " I explained as they all agree. 

" Now then, shall we all work now? And Veronica, can you please make lunches for all of us? We will need them later and also some juice. Thank you." I ordered as she smiled and bowed. " We need an update about Rieze. The attack will commence later midnight, they must all prepare and save their energy for a big fight. " I said and sat down on a desk prepared for me.

" We will surely be victorious. The word -Defeat- isn't in the vocabulary of the Dukedom of Frostine, My lady. " Fabian said proudly as he adjusted his glasses. I nodded and smiled as I agree to his words.

Meanwhile, in the Northeast region of Frostine.

" My Lord, I did what you ordered and told them to rest and preserve their strength. " Valerian said as he looked at the man he served ever since he was a captain. His snow silver hair was shoulder length as his looked like he was in his 20's yet his real age is 37. His Cobalt blue eyes shone brightly as he repeated the records of his beloved daughter in the orb.

His lips neither move or smiled, yet his ears are red. He was certainly very happy as he was watching the scene where his daughter was finally scolding someone and punishing the maid. " My lovely Daughter, You should have done this ages ago. I'm so happy. " He said as Valerian tried not to laugh because he knew that this Scary and Ruthless Supreme Commander and also one of the greatest swordmaster of the empire is overly protective and overly concerned for his daughters well being.

He may act distant, but he tried to hold back to hug his daughter because he was afraid of crushing her because of his strong grip. He also tried to smile at her, but he was worried because he might frighten his daughter. The others may not notice but, everyone who tried to hurt the princess were either sent away to die or was honored by the Duke to get his sword dirty by their blood.

He also knew about Sophia, but he trusted his daughter that she will stand up for herself because he doesn't want her to grow up in fear of others as she is the only heir of the Frostine Dukedom. " Did you know that she visited my dreams beside Amaryllis. It was also the first time Anniza woke up in my dream, she probably get her mother's presence because she began to reach out and giggle when Amary came up to her.

Annizabel is also with her, but she didn't  walked towards us. Amary walked towards her as they talked about something, I didn't hear nor understood what they were talking about but Anniza began to cry. I couldn't ask why because I woke up. I wonder what the mother and daughter talked about. " He finished his story as he recalled what happened last night.

" This is certainly a very good dream you have. " Valerian spoke as Duke Nicholas nodded, the redness of his ears still hasn't faded. " We must hurry to go back. I want to see my adorable daughter. " He said as Valerian smiled to his hopelessly charmed Supreme Commander. " Yes, my Lord. "
