Chapter 1 - Birthday
Maid
My Lady? Are you awake?
My maid opened up the curtains, making me coil up, uncomfortable.
I always hate the sunlight in the mornings. It's so bright and hurts my eyes.
Maid
Isn't this exciting? It's your 18th birthday, My Lady!
It's my 18th birthday and today also marks my debut into society.
Skye Wynter
Wendy? Must I attend this ball tonight?
Maid
You could never miss it, My Lady! This is the most important soirée in a young lady's life. Tonight, you'll most likely find your future husband.
Not really... I don't want to get married.
I don't want to give an ungrateful husband children and lounge around all day, attending boring parties and putting on airs.
I hate this... I really do.
If only I could become an Imperial Knight... that would make my dream come true!
Maid
Your father is waiting downstairs for you. It appears that he has a grand gift for you.
Hold on, he does? Could it be that he got me a mana crystal?
A mana crystal allows you to find out what element of magic resides in your heart.
It can either be earth, water, fire or wind.
However, in some rare cases, someone can possess the magic of darkness and the magic of light.
Wielding dark magic is frowned upon but light magic can heal wounds and cure diseases.
While my maid dressed me, I couldn't help but wonder what kind of magic I was.
Maid
I'm so glad to see that you are in such a good mood, My Lady.
Maid
To think that you are now a Lady... I won't be able to manage once we part.
Skye Wynter
What do you mean?
Maid
Once you marry, you'll no longer reside here but in the house of your husband.
I won't be able to see Father anymore?
Or Wendy, or the cooks, or the servants?
It really breaks my heart...
Maid
Don't fret, My Lady! I'm sure that you'll be much happier with your husband than in here.
She's wrong. I want to stay here... I don't want to marry anyone!
I want to become an Imperial Knight and wield elemental magic in battle against monsters and foreign countries!
My mother used to be an Imperial Knight who wielded fire magic. She was amazing, and was supposedly the most beautiful soldier on the battlefield.
That was before she died from an illness a few years after she had me.
My father was heartbroken but in order to heal, he devoted money and time to raise me up as well as he could.
Keeping me away from any kind of magic in the process...
Maid
Are you ready, My Lady?
I turned around and smiled politely.
Skye Wynter
Yes, let's go.
