.... what's happening..! why are people chasing me? and why am I running...!

Oh yes, my house... it's burning. Can't see it actually but in distance, I can see light from the fire. Someone told me to run, as fast as I can.

Wait, who told me that!

but I was running from some people... they killed someone, and I happened to see that. So they were chasing me to eliminate an eye witness.

One thing for sure, shouldn't have to go out at night just to buy Coke, should have just drunk some water.

Well, in the end, they didn't have to kill me, I ran into a truck.

Oh, now I remember. I have been born in this other kind of world, where strange things like magic existed.

But I didn't have the past life memory before. In my way of running, I must have fallen and remembered, because I am being chased now too.

This Forrest is too dark, it's night, so that makes it darker.

Wait, the road, I can see a road. but that's at the end of the forest. So I came in the right way.

If I take that road I can go to the capital. Oh, I am saved. And I don't hear anyone chasing me. I have to take some rest, can't run anymore.

Well now, why was I running, or being chased...... I messed up.

Yes, the fire which burned my house, I started it.

Let me introduce myself first.

I am a five-year-old red curly-haired girl. my parents died about a year ago. No, not together, in a few days apart actually.

My father was a great swordsman and my mother was a magic-user.

For a long time, they worked together. Many bad people feared this little group.

In this world, those who have magic power are the only people with black hair.

What I heard from villagers that when my father gets angry only mother can calm him down.

Because he is very weak against magic.

And the reason they formed party is father needed someone to protect him from magic and mother was weak against physical attacks so she needed someone strong by her side.

About a year ago they received a request from the capital to stop a group of bandits.

At first, mother told him not to go, because she was pregnant.

But father convinced her saying that a little bandit group can't have enough money to hire a magic-user. So he will be fine.

But it turned out that they did have one and he was strong too.

When the news came to mother, she fainted and fell, which caused to misscarege and, she couldn't take so much bad news together with her weak body, and died.

After that, I was staying with a neighbour grandma. She was nice, but her daughter in law wasn't.

last night after grandma went to sleep that daughter in law of her started picking on me, and I was so angry that I lost control over my magic.

When my sense came to me, I was running and some people were chasing after me.

I can see light in distance, it's coming this way. and a sound too. It must be a horse carriage. I need to stop it.

It is going in the direction of the capital?

I can go to the capital.

I blocked the road and started waving my hands and shouting.

I can see the horse racing towards me, my heart is beating fast, but I can't leave the road.

What if the carriage doesn't stop? I can not let that happen. I have to go to the capital at any cost.

It's getting near........ oh it stopped.

I think the coachman is very angry, and the person inside too.

 The coachman jumped from his seat. Wow, he is big. Any normal child would start crying, but anyway I'm not a child inside.

He asked me in a heavy voice,

- "Hey kid, what are you doing in this night in the middle of the road."

I have to act pitiful, but can't tell him the total truth. I can say it my way then. I should start crying.

-"I, I ran away from home, my parents died, aunt makes me work all day, and, and whenever she gets angry she beats me with a stick.

I don't want to stay here. I will go to the capital. please take me with you.

I won't disturb you, I will quietly sit outside. "

- "All right, all right, now stop crying." He sounds flustered now.

A face looked out from the carriage,

-"Dan, don't waste time, just take her, we need to return soon. "

-"Yes, Master. "

Then he looked at me and said - "come".

On our way, to the capital, Dan asked me things about me. I told him all the answers. Just "forget" to mention my parent's names and the identity as adventurers.

And that I have magic.

What I heard from him is that his master is a great person and a noble of the capital. His name is Alistair Redford. He has a son Nathaniel or in short Nathan and a daughter Ashley and wife Johanna.

Sir Alistair is in the ministry of international communication.

He was away for months due to work, and he is returning home after a long time.

But he is in the rush. He wants to be at home before morning.

Tomorrow is his daughter's birthday and he wants to be the first to wish her.

He dotes on his daughter so much.

Ashley will be of three years. And Nathan is seven years old.

I learned many more things about them.

They have a mansion, and it has a garden, stable, a pond with water as clear as crystal, lots of maids and servants, quarters for them.

They even have their Knight squad.

With all this running and crying and talking I started to feel tired at some point and before I knew it I fell asleep.

When Dan (the coachman) woke me up it was already morning.

But we are not in front of any mansion or anything, it seems like a place to leave the carriage. And the horse wasn't in front.

When I looked at Dan with curious eyes I saw he was smiling.

-" Master left. If you want you can come with me. "

I followed Dan. I knew that I can't do anything at this point. I'm just a small child now. The hazy memory of past life doesn't help in this world.

Even though I remember everything from birth up until now in this life too, that isn't enough. I don't have much knowledge of this world.

Dan took me to his quarter. He explained everything to his wife Nora.

Unlike Dan who looks like a giant to me, Nora looks normal.

After hearing that sir Alistair allowed me here she said, - "Master took you in, so you can stay as long as you want here. What's your name?"

" Thank you. And my name is Sia"

" Alright Sia, you should change your dress first. But you have to wear Ivan's shirt for the time being. He is my son."

-" It's alright, I prefer wearing a shirt than a dress. " I said.

After getting ready and having breakfast Nora and Dan left for their work. Nora also works at Redford house.

Only Ivan left at home with me. He didn't talk much till now. His mother Nora is not much of a talker either. He is about eight years old. But he looks bigger, just like his father.

I was wearing his old and small clothes.

He broke the silence, " What are you going to do now? "

" I don't have any place to go, so I like to stay here, for a few days or months, maybe. "

" No, I was asking about right now ."

" Oh, I don't know, what about you? "

" I will practice."

" Practice?"

" Yes, with a sword."

" Oh, can I see?"

" Okay, come with me then."

After that, we left. On our way, he showed me many things inside the palace. The whole area is called the palace and the main house is called mansion by them.

I was wondering for some times and finally, I asked, " Your parents both went to the main house, why didn't you go? Is it because of me ?"

He answered, " No, it's for another reason."

While talking we reached a gate, where a guard was standing.

He looked at Ivan and asked, "For training?"

Ivan nodded, "Yes."

We went inside. Inside the gate, there is a narrow walking path. On the left side of it has a big ground and in the right few rooms.

Maybe those are training halls.

After we passed the supposed playground, we reached another place.

Here some wooden poles of human height were standing here and there. And in the corner was a rack with wooden swords of different sizes.

Ivan looked at me and said, "You can do whatever you want, just don't go too far."

I said, "Okay, I will stay here."

After watching him practice, I started feeling bored and lied down on the ground.

I was thinking about what to do next and don't know when I took a little nap too.

But it broke at the sound of someone's walking on the dry leaves.
