Charlotte Howard

Its been 6years since The Duchess Adopted me.

I've been practicing both swordsmanship and magic because I was chosen as a weapon to fight for our Kingdom.

Even though I know I've been raised as a weapon against the Kingdom's enemy I strive to survive I've been sent into a different battle fields at the age of 13 and I realized that fighting is the only way to survive.The King knew how dangerous to keep a person like me in here.

"Lottie,how about taking a break?" Jezrael mumbled while catching his breathe.

"Its alright I can still move" I answered swinging my sword around me. " Even though you say that your hands are swelling".

A sudden presence took my attention.

Ah,I see.

an arrow was heading towards my back the speed is incredible yet its not stable.

After turning my back I quickly divided it into pieces using my sword. " Celestina! I told you stop playing with my arrows!" Jezrael shouted.

A young and beautiful girl came out of the bushes wearing a smug face.

"As expected from you sister!" she shouted while pulling her dress that got stuck in the bushes.

"What are you doing in here?" I asked.

"Ah,yush that was hard"

"Come on I'm 11 now and I also want to learn swordsmanship" she pouted.

"You brat how many times did I tell you to stop going around!! Her Grace is looking for you everywhere!" Sister Celine who came out of nowhere shouted from afar.

"And You! Charlotte what are you doing here!? mother instructed you to learn about the Palace Etiquette!" Oh here we go again.

"Sigh,lets go Celestina" I dropped my sword as I was expecting Jezrael to pick it up." Geez,I better go and rest now stop looking too gloomy" I tapped his shoulder but he shrugged.

"Hey are you sulking?" I chuckled.

"Just go I'll clean up this mess later " he said then suddenly flushed a smile on his face.

That was unexpected he never smiled to me this happy before.

"yeah,sure"

Celestina grabbed my hands pulling it towards Celine who looked like a mother scolding her daughters.

"Is her Grace still upset?" I asked while we're walking towards the West wing were all the Duke and Duchess' daughter reside.

Celestina held the tip of my clothes and hid behind me when suddenly the Duke showed up not looking so good.

He looks grumpy for some reason.

"Celestina! how many times did I tell you to stop causing troubles!" he shouted angrily.

"Father,she's only 11" Celine defended.

"Age doesn't represent an individual's behaviour!"

Its about time to interfere,sigh.
