A multiple short stories with different plot and character from different era and places.
The first story is.........
The Laurent family has long been a leading party of the underworld crimes. They built their life in luxury for the crimes they continuously performed. But no matter how an eyesore they appear to be, no one would dare act against them, not even the royal family.
But the family of justice and war, the Martinez were different. They are not like the other who would tolerate such sin committed by the Laurent family. And that's the exact reason why these two families could never be in good terms.
Velicia Laurent, one of the unfortunate child that born in the devil incarnation Laurent does not has an easy life either. Upon her birth, she was already marked as a person who would be used to make the Laurent flourish. As a child who don't know anything but to obey every of her father's word, also committed uncountable sin.
In her first life, she was ordered to disguise and took the place of Florentia Martinez, the long lost daughter of Duke Martinez and enter their Estate to dig out all the information the rival family got.
It was during that time she first met the Young Lord and future inheritor of the Martinez Estate, Asten Martinez. He was the only person to actually welcome her arrival. Although Velicia knew that this affection and warmth he has shown were only meant for Florentia, she can't help but felt an unlimited happiness which she never once felt before back in the Laurent.
It was only after she replace Florentia and enter the Martinez Estate, she has found the true meaning to live for. At this place, she was free to make her own decision, it was a place where they would love you no matter what.
She began to be too fond of this happiness that she even went against her father and make several excuses for her not reporting any information yet.
"Like this, atleast I'll still be able to remain in the Martinez for a while. Only for a while, that's all"
Turns out that she took too much risk and at the end, fate always plays it's role. On the day of the banquet specially held for her, Florentia make her appearance, which took the people in shock and surprise. It doesn't take long to identify the real Florentia, thus, Velicia got locked up for the next five days.
Velicia: "You know that I'm not your younger sister, so stop calling me like that"
Asten: "Be prepared, I'll come back again to brought you out"
I never understand him, could it be that he took a pity on me? Or is it that he actually see me as a real family during that two months of my staying here?
That night, the Martinez Estate got attacked by the Laurent family.
"My daughter, it's time to prove your worth"
The whole Estate was in chaos as the two enemies fought to death.
At that moment, it was again Asten who still came for her.
Asten: "Flora, stop it! It's not too late. We can still work this out"
Velicia: "Too late, it's too late for me. Ash, please listen to me and leave this place, many people will die tonight, and I don't want you to be among them"
Asten: "No, I swore a pledge to protect my own home. And we can stop this, I just need you to come to my side"
Those words were so sincere that it sound almost like a lullaby, you're really my comfort.
Velicia: "Ash, kill me. Once you kill me, all my power and abilities will be transferred to you. That way, you could save the Martinez"
Asten: "No.... you knew that I can't"
I knew that he'll refuse to do so.
But this is the only way I could finally repay him.
I hold his hands up and plunge myself into the sword he's holding, as he tried to kept on stopping me while calling me 'Flora'.
Velicia: "Please call me Velicia, that's the name been given to me from birth"
Asten: "Velicia! Velicia!"
But Ash, I actually prefer to be Flora forever.
