Suddenly, the sky started getting grey, heavy raindrops started falling upon the road, and the wind was blowing very strong. People started running here and there in search of a place to hide. In the empire, for the first time such strong winds are blowing, and there is such heavy rain.

In the small house, two elderly people were talking to each other looking outside the window of their house. 

"Today it's raining so hard it looks like god is very angry, and he is punishing people for doing something wrong".

After hearing the words of their grandfather, the two children were so scared they hid inside their blankets.

See their kids getting scared by their grandfather's words. The parents of the kids asked their, father and mother not to talk about this nonsense in front of their kids because they were so scared.

"Okay, okay, we will not talk about these things now, but who knows what is going to happen today?

"Sigh, Such bad weather."

Many people have different opinions about this heavy weather, some enjoy it with their family, while others are thinking about this unusual weather and what is going to happen.

Outside the Duke's villa, heavy raindrops were falling upon the rose petals, and strong winds made some roses fall on the ground. 

Inside the villa, the sound of people talking to each other can be heard. At the center of the room, a girl was lying on the bed, and she was looking at the window where those heavy raindrops were falling upon the glass window. 

The girl who was lying on the bed was thinking about those memories. She once was in this house when her parents were still alive.

Who has thought that this girl was once a Proud, noble, and powerful daughter of the former Duke of the empire and she was also once master of this house after her parent's death?

She was thinking about the day when she and her mother and father planted those roses together. That day, she was so happy.

"I am Rose Smith, and now I am dying."

"Mom, Dad, I am coming to meet you guys and also Alexa Baker, my best friend. Oh,  no! No! No! I can't meet you guys because you all were in heaven and I am going to hell. "

She suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction of the door where the sound of a very familiar man was coming, even though she could not see. She knows whose voice is this. James Williams, the person who I loved most in this world and the only person who caused all her suffering.

"Now, I am dying; you feeling happy, then what does that look on your face mean, James."

"I loved you so much and tried so hard to make you fall in love with me, but you never loved me."

"I never understand why you love Alexa so much that you never look at me even once. When she is dead, you cry for her so much; will you cry for me when I am dead?"

"No, he won't cry for me because he doesn't love me at all."

"You always blame me for Alexa's death and torture me so much for seven years, seperate me from my children's. I don't even get to see their faces. "

"Nobody believes me even though I told them a thousand times that I didn't kill her. She was my only best friend after my cousin Julia Harris. But,  it doesn't matter now.

"I was thinking, if I ever get a chance to meet you, Alexa, after my death, I will say sorry to you for not finding your killer."

"Sigh, My hellish life is finally getting over."

The girl was waiting at her bed for her death so calmly, people around here were all shocked to see this.

Then, a maid calls someone's name, and everyone starts greeting that girl. That girl was none other than Julia Harris, Rose's cousin sister.

"Sister, I heard you were dying; I came running from my trip  to see you."

"You can't imagine how horrified I was. When I found you were dying." 

"Sister, please say something to me. Don't stay quiet?"

Seen Rose was not saying something, Julia went to the doctor to ask why her sister was not saying something, and the doctor told her that Rose was too weak to talk to anyone this time. 

Julia went to James and asked him if he asked other doctors to come and check on her sister. James said that he already brought all the best doctors of the empire to Duke Villa, but everyone gave him the same answer.  

Then, the head maid Mrs. Helena Sadler, came and told Julia that James had not eaten anything for two days and he almost fainted a few minutes ago. She requested Julia to request James to take some rest.

" James, please take some rest and eat something, or you will not be able to take care of your sister like this." 

"I know my limits, Julia. Don't worry about me. I have to take care of Rose and make sure she doesn't die like this. "

"James, she is my sister and I also care about her. I also don't want her to die like this. But,  for this reason, you can't risk your life, too."

"Please, go, James. I am here, and I will take care of my sister; if anything happens, I will call you."

"Please, go and rest."

"Mrs. Helena Sadler said to James, "Yes,  your majesty, Miss Harris was right".

"Please make Your Majesty, eat something, and have a little bit of rest."

"But, what if I leave and something happens to her."

"No, but, James, just go and eat something and have a rest." 

"I am here," said Julia to James.

"Ok, I will go, but please take care of her for me, Julia."

"Ok! James."

When James Williams went out of the room, Julia asked the other servants to leave them and wait outside the room; she wanted to spend time with her sister alone.

Julia's site is next to Rose

"Sis, I heard you can't speak now because your body has become very weak and you have problems breathing also."

"But, can you hear me right" 

Rose wanted to speak, but her head was hurting so much. She was feeling pain in her heart, too, and her entire body was hurting. She was also having breathing problems, so she managed to shake her head, letting Julia know she could hear her.

"Then, listen to my sister. I have something to tell you. "

Her entire face changed, and her eyes, when cold and disgusting, were only seen in her eyes. For the first time in Rose's entire life, she sees her cousin's sister Julia like this. She was scared to look at her face.

"You are finally dying, why are you so shocked seeing my face like this?" Julia said in a cold voice.

Rose was so shocked.

"Sister, you know your father's death was not an accident; my father killed him. haha."

"And your mother never cheated your father in her marriage, it was my mother  and  Alexa's mother who framed her and your mother committed suicide after her reputation was ruined by us"

"Ha ha ha," Julia laughed in a very cold voice.

Rose was shocked and surprised to know about her parents death. She was trembling with anger to kill Julia after knowing the truth, but she couldn't move at all.

"If you think this stops here, let me tell you more.

"you know my father was your father's distant relative, right? But in reality, your father and my father were half-brothers."

"My grandmother once drugged your grandfather in the hope that he would seduce your grandfather and become his wife after kicking your grandmother out of the Duke Villa. But, she failed, and  your grandfather forced her to leave the capital and live her entire life in the countryside, and she never came back to the capital."

When she was abandoned to the countryside, she found she was pregnant; she lost her only chance to steal the title of Duchess."

"But god has another plan. A few days later, she met your grandfather's cousin brothers who ran away from the Smith family to explore the new world and were not rich and powerful like your grandfather because he ran away from home. But, my grandmother was pregnant, so she seduced him married that man, and gave birth to my father. A few years later, she killed her husband in fear that he would find out about the truth: the child was not his."

"We planned this revenge for so many years; why do you guys live with all the wealth and power while we live a poor life? We also inherited the Smith family blood, but because of our stupid grandfather, who didn't have a face to come to the Smith family after running away from home, we suffered so much.

"So we went to your house and told you guys we are your distant relatives and told you guys about our miserable life.  Your parents were so kind they took us in and there we started to take all things away from you guys."

"We killed your parents and changed their will and inherited all of their wealth and ruined your life too."

"Now you are dying. Finally, we win."

"Everything belongs to us only now, Smith's name and their entire wealth, everything."

"Hahaha "

Rose's heart was hurting after listening to so many things.

"And one more thing sister, you know the person who killed Alexa was me."

"You killed Alexa, but why? Rose wants to ask but she can't say anything."

Seeing Rose's face full of questions about why she killed Alexa.

Julia said, "As you know, Alexa was my aunt 's and uncle's daughter, and they also came with us to live at your house, and  we all worked together to take everything from you guys."

"Yes, Alexa was also with us in every plan and it's her parents also helped us in killing you parents." 

"Sister, you remember the day when the former emperor invited your family for dinner at the palace, there you first met James and fell in love with him, that time you were five years old, and the former emperor was happy to see you, and he liked you so much. He told your parents that  when you turn eight years old, he will hold a party and announce to the entire world that you will be the next crown Princess and future empress of the empire."

"We also got the news from Mrs. Helena Sadler that three years later you will formally announce a crown Princess and future empress of the empire."

"After  hearing this news, Alexa and I were so jealous of you, and we started hating you even more, especially me, who also contains Smith's bloodline in my body."

"You are about to become a crown Princess, so we started working on our plan faster to stop you from being a future empress of the empire."

" After some hard work, we come to the Smith family, three years later. When you turn eight years old. 

"We gain all your parents and other family members trust. "

"When we want the former emperor's party with you guys for the first time. I and Alexa both fall in love with James at first sight. But, we don't know how to approach him. After all, he  was the crown Prince of the empire."

'Then, suddenly, assassins appeared and tried to kill James, and you saved his life, and you were injured so much you lay on the bed for days."

"At that time, Alexa took this golden opportunity and replaced you by telling James, she is the one who saved him."

"For James never to doubt her, she told lies about you to him, and he started hating you. "

"I was so jealous of her; how could she take my crown like this, so I killed her and later put the blame on you, who doesn't know anything about this at all."

"Now,  you know everything. I am going to kill you too.

GGoodbye sister. "

Then she picked a pillow near Rose's head and put it on her face and she started choking her. 

" We win now, and everything belongs to us."

"James now belongs to me only."

"Only....me"

"Hahaha..'

"I win..."

"Everything belongs to me"

"Hahaha "

Due to no strength left in her body, Rose is still trying to fight back, but she can't do that because her body is too weak to resist anything. She let go.  Her eyes slowly get closed and the voice of Julia's laughter starts fading. 

Everything she suffered was caused by the people she trusted the most in her entire life after her parent's death.

"Rose was laying on the ground and her entire body was trembling and remembering all those sad and sweet memories of her life before she died.

She saw her parents in her dream. In that dream, her father and mother both used to love her most. Her mother used to tell the chef to make her favorite food every week. She and her mother used to bake cakes, biscuits, and cookies together.

They also planted all the roses in the rose garden together. After planting those roses they all sit in the shadows of the tree and enjoy their evening, while drinking tea and eating cakes, while laughing and talking to each other.

One day in the evening, some people came to their house and claimed to be their distant relative. Rose and her parents never met these people before. But, they all tell them they are their relatives, and they tell them their sad story, about how their father used to be my grandfather's cousin's brother and he ran away from the house of Smith because he wanted to be a traveler and experience a world full of adventure.

Later, he started a small fabric store in the countryside with the little money he had taken with him while running away from his home and making a small house where he lived a peaceful and quiet life.

But, after his death their business went down and they borrowed some money from the town people to save their business but they failed and they had to sell their store and house to pay them and now, they don't have a place to live, so they come to the capital with little money they have in their hand to asked help from her parents.

They beg her father to help them to find work from them. They said their kids had not eaten a proper meal for several days. They beg them for their help.

Rose's parents were very kind-hearted people. When they saw their kids were so skinny and they were trembling from the cold their hearts melted. So, they allowed them to stay at their villa and gave them food and shelter. Rose's father asked both Alexa Baker's and Julia Harris's father to work with him.

Author's Note :

(Julia's surname has to be Smith because she is Rose's relative. But, when Julia's grandfather ran away from the Smith family, he changed his surname, so his family didn't find him. So, even after coming back to the Smith family they all still used the Harris surname, which was easy for them to introduce to other people. )

Alexa and Julia's father became Rose's father's left and right hand. Rose's father started trusting them so much that he even left many important works to them introduced them to other noble people, and helped them to start their own trading business.

Their mother also became my mom's friend, and she also started taking them to other noble parties and helping them build their social status. 

Julia and Alexa also became my best friends. We used to play, study, eat, and sleep together. We all share our secrets. For the first time in my entire life, I have made friends of my age. So, I was so happy, that I never realised those two were behind all those rumours which ruined my entire life .

They used to tell other noble girls. I am arrogant and rude to other people and love to bully servants of the Duke Villa. 

When other girls refused to be my friend, they always told me that they all were rude to me and didn't want to be my friend because I am the daughter of the Duke, the second most powerful person in the empire after the emperor, and also the future empress. So, they all were jealous of me and started spreading rumors about me.

I don't have to take that nonsense seriously, and they both will be my friends forever, no matter what.

I was such a foolish person to believe them and never try to find the truth. No wonder James hates me so much. 

Well, I still remember that day the first time, I met  him. First, when I was five years old that time the late emperor told my parents that he chose me to be the crown princess, and when I turned eight,t, he held a party and announced my engagement with him.

At that time he didn't hate me. We together enjoyed dinner so much that day and played with each other, also.  He also took me to his room and showed me his mini library. We chatted with each other that day; we didn't want to separate from each other. 

When Mom and Dad told me we had to go back, I was so sad, but James promised me he would marry me and we would never get separated in the future.

Now, I think of those words, how foolish I was to believe him at that time and wait for him for so many years.

The second time we met each other was the day of the royal ball, where Julia, Alexa, and their parents also came with us. I introduced James to Julia and Alexa; that time, I was really a fool. After some time, the assassin attacked and tried to kill James, and I saved him and got injured.

Alexa takes this opportunity to replace me and become an empress. 

Whenever I meet him he always looks at me with a cold eye. I was so naive and believed that his character changed after that assassin attack. He didn't trust people and believed Julia and Alexa's words and never told him I was the person who saved his life.

His father, the late emperor, also died in that attack,k, and I also felt bad and blamed myself for not being able to save him.so, I didn't tell him anything.

He became a good emperor and ruled the country with honesty.

He was real like his father the late emperor, who was so kind and caring towards his people. People were so happy to have such a great and kind-hearted emperor again.

I didn't get time to meet him after that incident because my body was still weak, and it would take a long time to recover. Later, my mom was framed by Alexa's and Julia's mother and committed suicide.

After that incident, I locked myself inside the room and rarely came out. That was the time I started hating her for cheating on Dad. Now I know the truth, but I can't ask for her forgiveness. 

"Mom, I am sorry."

"I should have to believe you. When you say, you don't cheat on dad."

"You are not a liar"

"Mom, I am sorry "

"I failed to be a good daughter"

Then, my father suddenly met with an accident and died . At Dad's funeral, l  saw him after that incident.

At that time, he still looked so cold and disgusted towards me, that I didn't dare to approach him that day either.

After this, we meet when he proposes to Alexa in front of everyone and asks her to marry him, and I become a joke in the eyes of the nobles. 

When I tell you that I love you, tell me, someone like me doesn't deserve you. But, what will you do when you find out how your kind and caring Alexa has such a venomous heart?

"Will you believe that?"

 The day you proposed to Alexa in front of everyone at the party, a few days later, you started preparing for a grand wedding, which was going to be held next month on the 15th date of the upcoming month.  I was so sad because of that. The person who I love the most is going to marry someone else, and that person is none other than my own best friend.

I stopped going outside the Duke's villa because, whenever I go out, I only hear about how you proposed to her in front of everyone, and now, both of you are going to have a grand wedding. I was in so much pain, it felt like someone was stabbing my heart with a knife. 

The day before her marriage Alexa was kidnapped and killed by kidnappers. When I heard this news, I was so shocked and cried the entire day because I lost my best friend.

I never understand, why you always blame me for her death. You made me suffer so much because you believe in those fake evidence and Julia.

"You made every day of my life hell ." 

"If I get a second chance, I will never love you again in the next life".

But what is the point about thinking about these things now I am already dead. I only wish to see my parents. So I will ask them to forgive me. I can't even avenge you guys who killed you.

No, I don't want to see you guys because I am ashamed of myself. Harris and Bakers killed you guys and I always consider them my family. 

"Mom, Dad, I am sorry...."

"I am sorry......"

"I am......."

"I am sorry......"

I failed to protect you from those venomous people.

"I am sorry....."

"God, if you can hear me, please don't make me human again in the next life, because it hurts so much to love someone, but that person doesn't love and make your entire hell."

"I don't want to be human again in the next life."

"Rose"

"Rose "

"Rose wake up"

"I am here to bring you back home. I am here to bring you back."

"Who is calling me?"

Rose slowly opened her eyes and saw, in front of her eye a very beautiful girl was standing. She looks like an angel. Her hair was golden; her eye color was also golden; her skin was very fair; it was even white than snow. Sun rays were falling upon that girl's body and made her even more beautiful. 

Then, Rose suddenly realized that the entire room, which was filled with darkness, was filled with light only, and  Rose looked here and there and realized she was not in that dark room anymore. She was standing in the grass in front of the eye with such beautiful scenery.

It was such a sunny and bright day; beautiful rose flowers and other flowers were everywhere and surrounding her, and huge mountains were protecting this very beautiful garden. Then she looked upon the sky and saw birds flying in the sky, without any worries. Everything in front of her eye looks, so unreal. 

A few minutes ago, she was dead, and those good and bad memories were flashing in her mind, and her room was only filled with darkness, but now she was standing in such a beautiful garden, and everything looked so unreal to her. But, instead of being sad and crying over those old memories, she wants to fly in the sky like a bird without any worries; she wants to play in this garden like a small child, just like she used to do when she was a kid. 

She was so happy. Suddenly that beautiful girl spoke to her.

"Rose, I am here to bring you back. I am here to take you home. "

"Who are you? And do you mean by bringing home back?"

"Rose, My name is Lu, and I am your guardian spirit, and I am here to bring you back."

"Guardian spirit?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Rose, have you forgotten that Smith family members have the power to control spirits and they can do anything with their spirit power."

"Yes, I heard about this, but only a few members of our family have that power. Not everyone has that power to control spirits."

"If I have the power to control spirits, I am already dead.  What's the point of this power now, it is useless."

"Who said you are dead? I am here, which means as long as I am here, you are not dead. I am here to give you a second chance. I am here to bring you back, Rose."

"What are you saying?"

"I..... don't understand?"

"You know what I will try to say in the future. But, today, you remember one thing: I am your guardian spirit, and  as long as I am your guardian spirit with you, nobody can kill you or harm you, Rose."

"You said nobody can harm or kill me, but where were you when I suffered so much pain, and Julia killed me? Now, I am dead and you come here saying you come to save me."

"How funny."

"Rose, I was always right next to you in your ever suffering but I can't do anything that time because you can't see me. No matter what I do to gain your attention. "

"Please forgive me, Rose."

"You said you are with me all the time and you see my every suffering, but you can't do anything because I can't see you that time, so how can I see you after my death?"

"Well... that time you don't awaken your ability to control your spirit, but when you die, you awaken your power to control your spirit."

"Which is quite surprising for me too. But now you can control spirits and make them do whatever you want to do."

"You said, I have awakened my power, but I am dead about what I can do with these powers now, Lu."

"Well, what will you do  if you get a second chance, Rose."

"If I get a second chance, I will take my revenge on those who hurt me and my parents, Lu."

"Are you sure you want revenge when you get a second chance not to live happily with your parents and make true friends in your second life?"

"No, no, Lu, I only want to take revenge on my enemies. Except for my parents, I don't want to love anyone or make friends."

"But.. I am dead."

"I... I can't avenge myself or my parents. I can't take my revenge now, Lu."

"Who said you are dead? "

"I am here to bring you back home, Rose."

"What do you mean by that?" 

"Rose, I will bring you back, good or evil it's your own choice, now it is up to you what you want to do in this life. Do you want to live your life peacefully, or what takes your revenge? Everything was in your hand now."

Then,  Lu rose in the sky and shouted at Rose.

"Rose, come with me..."

"Rose, come home with me..."

"Rose, come home with me..."

"Wait, Lu Where are you going?"

"What do you mean by those words, Lu."

Everything turned into darkness again and everything went blank. Silence covers the room once again.

"Rose, wake up, honey."

"Rose, wake up dear."

Slowly Rose opens her eyes and sees her parents standing right in front of her eyes. She was so surprised.

"Mom, dad are you guys still alive?"

"What are you saying, honey? And what do you mean by still alive?"

"Did you have any nightmares?"

"Is this real or fake? What is happening now?"

"Honey, what happened to why you are not answering? Did you still feel uncomfortable?"

"No, mom and dad. I am fine, but what happened to me ?"

"Honey, you don't remember, when we planted those roses in the rose garden, you suddenly fainted."

"Your mom and I got scared."

"So, I am not dreaming. I came back to the past."

"Now, I understand why Lu was saying "I am here to bring you home back, Rose."I can't believe I am home with Mom and Dad, and they both are still alive. I am so happy.

"Doctor, please  come and see Rose; why are they behaving like this?"

After checking Rose for a few minutes, the doctor told Mr and Mrs. Smith. 

"Sir, Madam, Miss is completely fine. She doesn't have any other health issues."

"Doctor, are you sure she is completely fine".

"Yes, I am madam " 

"But.... Rose, is talking about weird things and asking weird questions."

"I think it is because of the sudden shock her mind experiences when she faints, that's all".

"But, still doctor."

Then, suddenly Rose spoke to her parents.

"Mom, Dad, I am ok. You guys, please go and rest."

"Honey, are you fine?"

"If you are not ok, tell Mom, and Dad will take you to the best doctor in the empire?"

"No, Mom, I am fine, actually; I am more than fine because now you guys are with me. I am so happy."

"Dear, I think roses are fine. Look how energetic and happy she is now. Let's go and let her rest."

"But... Dear, Rose...she"

"No, but"

"Le, Rose rest for some time."

"It's already midnight "

"Ok"

"Honey, mom and dad are going out. You can rest but, if you don't feel well, tell us."

"Ok! Mom and Dad. I will tell you guys if I don't feel well."

Rose was left alone in the big room. She raised and walked towards the side corner, where the mirror was, and then, she looked at her appearance in the mirror, and she realized that she was five or six years old. This means that Julia and Alexa have not come to their house, and she has time before that tragedy takes place. 

"I... am back, I am home. Now, in this life, I will not repeat the same mistake. In this life, I will become a villainess, and I will never love you again, James Williams. "

The next day, Rose woke up early. Her maid, Linda, was surprised to see that Rose was waking up so early in the morning.

"Miss...."

"Why did you wake up so early in the morning? Are you not feeling well?"

"No, Linda. I am fit and fine . I just woke up early because I don't feel like sleeping more, that's all ".

"Then, I'm bringing warm water for you. I will help you to wash your face and change your dress. Then, you can go downstairs for breakfast"

"Yes, help me get dressed up."

While changing dress, Rose was busy thinking about her memories and remembering after her parent's death, only Linda was loyal to her, but Julia and Alexa framed her, saying she had stolen their jewelry, and they kicked her out of the villa.

After Linda left the villa no other maids took proper care of her and respected her at all. Other maids always team up with Julia's mother, Aunt Stella, and Alexa's mother, Aunt Riley, to criticize me for not being a good master of the villa or Duke of Empire.

"Those maids only listen to both aunties, not me."

Think of this, one of the most loyal maids is Mrs.. Helena Sadler after Mrs. Laura Matthews, the headmaid of the Duke Villa and my nanny. When Mrs. Matthews died, Julia's mother made Mrs. Helena Sadler's next headmaid, and her husband also replaced my father's most trusted butler, Mr. Paul Matthews.

Mr. Paul was the only one, who told my father not to believe them. He thinks they all came to the duke villa with some evil intentions and they all will harm our family.

Sadly, my father doesn't listen to his words, and in the end, we all get killed.

Now, thinking about these things, I think Mrs. Sadler had something to do with Harris and Bakers.

She is the one who claimed my mother was cheating on my father and also bringing, those letters which contain my mom's handwriting as evidence to prove her crime. Now, I think she is the mole who tells Harris and Bakers about our every move.

First, I have to get rid of her so she won't sell our information to them.

"Well Linda, can I ask you something?"

"Yes, yes, You can ask me anything. Miss, you don't have to be so polite with me; after all l, I am just your maid."

'No, Linda you are wrong; you're not just my maid, but the most important person to me."

After hearing Rose's words Linda could not control her tears and said to her.

"Miss, Thank you."

"Linda, how old am I now?"

"Miss, you are five years old."

"But why are you asking this question suddenly? Are you really, ok?"

"Yes, I am ok, Linda."

So, it means I am reborn three years before Harris and Bakers come to the Smith family. I have to stop them, but how?

I can't tell anyone that I am already dead, and now I am reborn. Nobody will believe me, and they all think I have gone crazy or I'm playing some games with them. But, I have to do something to stop them.

"Who is even going to help me now".

"Lu, you bring me back, but what can I do with this small body, no one will believe me. Wait, Lu, Where is she? now."

Rose starts looking here and there for Lu but she doesn't find her anywhere. Then, suddenly Linda asked here.

"Miss, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, Linda."

"Are you done now?"

"Yes, miss just give me a few minutes."

After getting dressed up, there was a sudden knock at the door, and Rose had a very familiar voice.

"Miss, if you are ready, then come downstairs for breakfast. Madam and Master are waiting for you; please don't make them wait more," Mrs.Helena Sadler said to Rose in a very rude voice.

Helena Sadler was always rude to me behind Mom and Mrs. Matthews, but in front of Mom and Mrs. Ma, she was also very polite to me. Now, it is my turn to show who her real master is and teach her a good lesson that she will not forget for the rest of her life.

Linda never liked Mrs. Sadler especially the way she talks to Rose. So, she said to her in every angry way.

"Mrs. Sadler, she is the daughter of a Duke, how can you talk to her like this ?"

After hearing Linda's words Mrs. Sadler got angry and took Linda in an annoying voice.

"Linda, I am madam's and Mrs. Matthews is the most trusted servant. How can you talk to me like this? And the way I talk to Miss is not rude after all; he is just a girl, and she doesn't deserve that much respect because when the master retires, she will become the next duke, and because of her, we will suffer more humiliation in the future."

"she is just a fool."

"Mrs. Sadler, how can you say those words to miss in front of her? I will tell Madam and Mrs. Matthews."

"Ha, do you think madam and Mrs Matthews will believe you, not me? I have worked here for so many years."

"Who do you think you are, ha?" 

"They will believe me not you. Who has just started working here two years ago."

Linda can't control her anger anymore, so she says to Mrs. Sadler, "One day, you will pay for your every word and action when Madam and Mrs. Matthews know about it."

Mrs. Sadler happily said to Linda, "Then I will wait for that day, hahaha."

Linda cannot control her anger anymore. She was so annoyed with her attitude with Rose.

"You....."

"You... just wait"

After seeing all the situations. Rose thought that Linda argued with Mrs. Sadler, she would be in trouble in the future. So, she told Linda to stop.

"Enough, Linda now stops this. Don't argue with Mrs. Sadler."

"Miss, but she makes fun of  you."

"I said enough is enough, Linda."

"Ok! Miss".

Then she turned around and told  Mrs. Sadler, "Mrs. Sadler, please don't get angry about Linda's behavior; you are such a kind-hearted person. I hope you will not be mad at Linda. I believe you don't mind Linda's words."

After hearing Rose's words, Mrs. Sadler was so happy that she told Rose, "I'm happy you're so smart, miss, not like someone who gets angry so easily".

"Miss, if you say, I will let her go for this time."

"Thank you, Mrs. Sadler, and I am ready, Mrs. Sadler. Linda let's go for breakfast."

"Yeh, Let's go," said Mrs. Sadler to Linda and Rose in an annoying voice.

At the dining table, Mr.. and Mrs. Smith were waiting for Rose to come downstairs. But, after waiting for a long time when they don't see Rose coming. They both get worried.

"Iris, don't you send Mrs.Sadler to bring Rose for breakfast?"

"Yes, dear, I have sent Mrs.Sadler to bring Rose for breakfast but I don't know why they are taking so much time."

Then she turned around and called Laura Matthews and said to her, "Laura please go and check if everything was ok with Rose or not."

"Ok, madam. I will go and check."

Before Laura can turn around and leave the room. The door of the dining room opens, and Rose comes with Linda and Mrs.Sadler. After seeing Rose come, both Mr and Mrs Smith were happy.

"Honey, where were you?"

"You, Dad, and I have been waiting for you for such a long time. Are you not feeling well?"

"No, mom, I am ok."

"Then, let's have breakfast. Today, your mom has made all your favorite dishes. Mom, you made all these dishes?"

"Yes, honey"

"You were not well yesterday, so I cooked all your favorite dishes to make you happy."

After taking some bits, Rose's eyes were filled with tears.

"It has been such a long time since I ate my favorite dishes cooked personally by Mom. After mom died in my previous life, no one cooked food for me with so much love and care."

"I missed the taste of my favorite dishes cooked by Mom. Now, I got another chance to eat these foods cooked by my mom. I am so happy"

"It looks like, Rose likes food made by you, honey"

"Yes, I like everything cooked by mom. My mom is the world's best cook."

"Thank you, honey"

While eating breakfast with her family, Rose suddenly heard a voice inside her ears, and she started to look here and there.

"Rose, Rose, Rose"

"Lu"

"But, where is she?"

"I can't see her?"

"Rose, I'm here"

"Where are you, Lu?"

"Rose, I am here, look down"

Then, Rose looked down and found Lu was actually sitting right in front of her, but this time her appearance was completely changed. She was not like the young girl she met previously, now she looks like a small child, who has two cute little wings on her back. Her eye and hair color was the same golden as before. She looked so cute to Rose.

After realizing that Rose could see her. Lu was so excited and said to her, "Rose, finally you can see me"

"Yes, I can see you, Lu, now"

"But Lu, where were you all the time?

"Well, I went to the spirit world to see my grandmother"

"Lu, you have a grandmother"

"Yes"

Rose realized that except her, no one in the room could see, and she asked Lu about this.

"Lu, Mom, Dad, and others can't see?"

"Yes, Rose, others can't see me; only you can see because I am your guardian spirit."

"Oh, I see"

"Rose, why are you not eating your food anymore, are you not feeling well?"

"No, mom"

"I am, ok"

"I will eat my food "

After eating her breakfast Rose comes back to her room and asks Linda to wait outside.

"Lu, I have a question for you?"

"Yes, Rose, tell me what you want to know about."

"Lu, why are you looking so different from before?"

"Well, this is all because of you"

"Because of me?"

"How"

"Well, you see. Now, you have become a five-year-old child, and your powers were also limited; because your powers were limited, it will also affect me. If you become more powerful in the future, my powers will also increase."

"Then, how can I increase my powers?" 

"For this, you have to learn about how to master the art of spirit."

"Master the art of spirit."

"How can I master the art of spirit, Lu"

"Well, first you have to sign a contract with me."

"I have to first sign a contract with you, but Lu, if I sign a contract with you that means I can't summon any other spirit. Right?"

"No, when you sign a contract with me, you can use my power, but when you master the art of spirit controlling you can summon other spirits also ."

"Well, then sign a contract with me, Lu "

"Are you sure about signing a contract with me Rose"

"Yes, I am Lu"

"Then, I'm going to sign a contract with you"

"Ok"

Then, Lu comes close to Rose's forehead and kisses her forehead. When Lu kissed Rose's forehead, the entire room was filled with light, and Rose's body started floating in the air. When they both finished singing the contract, Rose came back to the group, and the light in the room also every time it came to normal again.

After signing the contract with Lu, Rose felt that something was on her forehead, and she went to look in the mirror. She saw that very beautiful rose petals were printed on her forehead, and a few seconds later, they disappeared. 

"Lu, did you see these rose petals on my forehead, and now they suddenly disappeared?"

"Rose, those rose petals represent that we have signed a contract, and whenever you use my powers, those rose petals will appear on your forehead."

"Oh, now I understand the meaning of those rose petals."

"Let me introduce myself once again to you Rose. My name is Lu, and I am a spirit of fire, and I am also your guardian spirit. From the moment you sign a contract with me, you can use all my power.

"Thank you, Lu, for signing a contract with me, but how can I master the art of spirit?"

"Well, to master the art of the spirit, you have to be more powerful, and for this, you have to summon more spirits; the more spirits you control, the more powerful you become."

"How can I summon spirits, Lu?"

"To summon a spirit you need two things, first mana and second a spirit, and after having two things you have to make spirit contract formation in which you sign a contract with the spirit, but you have to remember one thing, for signing a contract both the party the spirit and master have to agree together, you can't force a spirit to sign a contract with you without it's permission or it will harm your body in future."

" That contract signing formation is a way to link to the spirit world, Lu"

"Yes, Rose it is. Once you sign a contract with spirit you also become a part of the spirit world."

"Let me tell you the story about the spirit world, Rose"

"Yes, Lu tell me "

"According to legends, god once created five spirit kings and queens, and those five spirit kings and queens, are the god of light Lucian, he goddess of revenge  Diva,  the god of war Ares, the goddess of Power Isis, and the god of wealth Lion, they all are the responsible for every magical power in the human and spirit world. But, when demons heard about this, they started a war against these five kings and queens, but they were defeated by spirit Kings and queens. Still, those demons sometimes try to make a mess in the spirit world; spirit Kings and queens defeat them, and they all have to run away to save their lives."

"Every power we spirit we use comes from these spirit kings and queens."

"The story of the spirit King and queen sounds good "

"Yes, isn't it?t, "Lu asked Rose in excitement.

"Yes, it is"

"But, that's all I know about."

"I also don't know much about mana or spirit formation circles "

"You don't know anything about mana or spirit formation circles?"

"Yes, Rose"

"Well, then we have to find out about this, but how?"

After thinking for some time, Rose suddenly jumped from her chair and ran outside the room.

"Rose, where are you going, Lu asked."

"I am going to the library "

"Library, but why?'

"To, find out about mana and spirit formation circle"

"Seeing Rose run out of the room, Linda started shouting from behind and started chasing Rose.

"Miss, where are you going?"

Without turning back Rose tells Linda, "I am going to the library, Linda"

The bookkeeper was so shocked to see Rose in the library and he came to her and asked her.

"Miss, you are here to read a book "

"Yes, Mr. Joe"

"Linda, please wait outside I want to read books alone"

"Ok, miss "

"Thank you "

"Miss, if you need any help, please let me know"

"Ok, Mr. Joe"

"And thank you '

A few hours later

"I have searched every corner in the library but I can't find any other information related to spirit formation or mana."

"What should I do now?"

Then, suddenly, Rose's eyes fell upon a bookshelf, and she remembered that she had not checked this bookshelf. When it went there and after searching for a few. Minutes later, she found a book.

"Lu, I found it"

"What is it, Rose"

"The History of Spirits"

"Yes, that is the name of the book. I am sure there must be something related to mana and the spirit formation circle will be."

"The story about five spirit kings and queens, how spirit kings and queens control the spirit world and human world magic, the demons. I have several pages but they are not related to the mana and spirit formation circle."

" What a useless book, I am going to throw it"

"Wait, Lu...stop"

"What happened Rose you scared me"

"Lu, look there"

"How to summon spirits and how to use mana and form a spirit formation. Rose, we found it"

"Yes, Lu"

"We found it."

"To become a most powerful spirit master, one has to summon more powerful spirits, and the power of spirits depends upon their master; if the spirit master has more powerful mana, then he/she can summon any powerful spirit of their choice."

"How to form a spirit formation circle. To form a spirit formation circle, the spirit master first has to draw a spirit formation circle on paper or one can also use the spirit stone. After drawing the circle."

"A Spirit master has to call the name of the spirit three times, and when the spirit comes, both spirit and master have to agree together to form the spirit contract. Without the permission of the spirit, if a spirit master forms a contract, it will cause harm to the spirit master's body. He/she can also die in the process of forming the contract."

"So, that's how we can form a spirit formation circle and spirit contract "

"But, how can we check our mana?"

"Well, for this you can ask my grandmother. She can tell you about your mana"

"How, can I call your grandmother here."

"It is very simple, just call her name three times and she will appear"

"What is the name of your grandmother, Lu "

"Her name is Rooh and she is a water spirit "

"Rooh"

When Rose first time called Rooh's name, the sudden wind started blowing in t, the room, and everything inside the room started shaking, but on the outside, everything was. No one knew about this sudden earthquake. Rose continues to call Rooh's name.

"Rooh"

"Rooh"

Wind Stops blowing inside, the room and the earthquake stops, and the room is covered with darkness and fog, and then a shadow appears in the room. It is said of a wolf and then that shadow asked Rose.

"Who are you? And why did you call me?"

"Are you Rooh, Lu's grandmother?"

"Yes, I am, but who are you, and how do you know Lu?"

"Well....she is my"

Before Rose can complete her sentence Lu comes forward and hugs her grandmother.

"Grandma, I missed you so much"

"You little fool, we just met yesterday."

The fog and darkness were gone, and then Rose saw that Lu's grandmother was a wolf. 

"Grandma, this is Rose and I am her guardian spirit."

"So, you are Rose" Rooh asked Rose in a very surprised voice.

"Yes, I am, but by the way do you know me?"

"Of course, I know you became Lu has told me how you died in your previous life because of those evil people, but I never thought one day I would meet you myself."

"So, you also know about me."

"Don't worry, Rose, only me and Lu know about your rebirth. No one else will ever know about this secret."

"Thank you, Rooh"

"Rooh, I have a question for you.

"Yes, Rose tell me what you want to know"

"Can you tell me about my mana, and do you also know how the Smith family members got the power to control spirits."

"Yes, Rose "

"I know about the story of how Smith family members get power to control spirits."

"For this, first let me tell you a story, which I heard from my grandmother when I was a child"

"Has, Lu told you about spirit kings and queens "

"Yes, I know that story already"

"Very good, then listen to me, Rose, the war between demon and spirit King and queen broke. Many spirits take part in this war to Stop those demons, and many of them also get killed."

"One of the spirits who participated in this was our first ancestor, he has the power to control water and fire together, but no matter how powerful he was his opponents were demons and in the fight with one such powerful demon, he used all his powers and defeated that demon, but he was injured so heavily that, he fainted and fall in the garden and Smith family."

"Then, one of your ancestors saved his life. So, in return for saving his life. He promised your ancestors that his next generation would become Smith family spirit guardians and protect them when they were in any kind of trouble. After this, our family has been protecting the Smith family for generations."

"So, that's how Smith family members get power to control spirits."

"Yes, but only those who have the power to control spirits can use this power."

"That is why in our family, only a few members can awaken their powers."

"Yes, Rose "

"Well, Rooh will you please check my mana ?"

After checking Rose for a few minutes, Rooh was shocked.

"How can this even happen?"

"What happened, Rooh"

"Rose, your mana is not like other ordinary spirit masters. It is very powerful; if you improve your skills in the future, you will be a great spirit master."

"Real"

"Yes, Rose"

"Then, I will surely work hard to improve myself. Rose said very confidently.

"Let's start."

"Wait, Rose"

"What happened, Rooh"

Rose, it is already midnight. We will start tomorrow onwards."

After hearing Rooh, Rose realized midnight and Lu already has fallen asleep in bed.

"I think you are right, Rooh." 

"We will work from tomorrow onwards."

"Then, goodnight, Rose."

"You too, Rooh."

Rose changed her dress and covered Lu. She slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep. While sleeping those memories of the past still haunted her.
