Since I knew that father and Luke was not at home, I went out of my room in my sleeping attire, a plain white dress that reached just below my knee and I styled my hair into a messy bun.

"Um.. Lady Violet." Hannah called as soon as I left my room.

I stopped and turned to face her, "Yes?"

"Are you sure that you want to go to the dinner hall in that attire?" She asked, her face filled with worry.

I blinked a few times. "Yes, the servants wouldn't mind if they see me like this, right? Besides Daddy and Luke are not here."

She looked like she wanted to say something but she was hesitating.

"Spit it out."

Oops, that didn't sound good.

I cleared my throat, "I-I mean.. Is there anything else you want to say?"

Hannah lowered her head and shook it. "Nothing.."

I sighed, "If that's the case, lets go."

Upon entering the dinner hall, my eyes went wide upon seeing my father.. Dylan? Evelyn? Luke? Alyn? The servants were also with them.

(AN: I just realized that these 3 has 'lyn' on their names XD)

"Happy Birthday!"

... What.. the.. hell..

Their smiling faces instantly turned different. They all look surprised now.

I felt someone placing a cloth on my shoulders, Hannah fixed the cloth and covered my chest. She must have took it after I left.

Father instantly went to my side and stood in front of me, as if blocking me. "All of you! Turn away! You are not allowed to see this side of my daughter!"

I gulped nervously and turned to Hannah. "W.. What day and month is it today?"

Hannah smiled at me, "It is the fourteenth day of the eleventh month, young miss."

"Letty still looks beautiful even if she's dressed this way." Evelyn said with a giggle.

"Indeed, seeing my fiance this way is new and cute."

"Violet, go back to your room and change into an appropriate dress. Hannah, do help my sister and fix her hair too."

"I.. I never imagined seeing Violet this way.."

I don't find anything wrong with what I was wearing but I guess it's too much for an era like this eh?

Since father was blocking their view, I couldn't see their expressions right now.

"Please excuse me. I will go change my attire. Lets go, Hannah."

I left the room and headed back to my room.

----

I returned to the dinning room and spent my birthday with the people I know.

The table was filled with food and after having our dinner, we headed to the event hall. Despite our small number, we danced and spent time together.

"I thought you were doing your work in the neighbouring country?"

"I came back yesterday, and besides, this time, I want to celebrate your birthday."

He twirled me around after saying that before he caught me by my waist again.

"How long will you stay here?"

"Until tomorrow, I have to go back and accompany my mother back in the country of Lilly."

I sighed in relief, that means I won't be seeing him after this.

"I will bring back some of the country's delicacies for you so you should be excited once I return, okay?."

"If you'll be bringing food, of course I'll be excited." I couldn't help but smile at what he said. "Are they good?"

"Yes, they are." He chuckled.

When the music ended, I was surprised when Alyn's face suddenly came near!

I felt his soft lips on my cheek which made my heart restless. He just kissed me on my cheek!

I was about to give him a good punch when I suddenly notice that he left me alone.

I felt someone wiping my cheek. I turned and saw Luke standing beside me with a frown.

"It's a good thing father is busy talking with Dylan. If he saw what that son of a-- that prince just did, he'll erupt. You know how protective father can be with you."

Uh.. yes, I can imagine father doing that. Ever since what happened eight years ago, the only guy he allows me to be close with is Luke. I guess he started having trust issues with other guys.

"He's my fiance, he's allowed to do that." I slapped his hand away.

Uh-oh.. this can't be happening.. no.. no..

I can clearly see that Luke was surprised by my action.

"Violet?"

I felt my eyebrow raised as I crossed my arms. "It's Lady Violet for you. My father may have adopted you but you have no Trancy blood running in your veins. Know your place, you lowly commoner."

I can't stop my mouth! Is the real Violet in control again?!

Alyn! I must go to Alyn! He will definitely help me since he's a Light user, he would able to see my state!

I tried my best to fight back, I remembered that I have an affinity for light too because of my healing skill but I was worried that if I used a light magic, everyone will be able to know it since they are magicians higher than B+ rank.

"Violet, may I speak with you for a second?"

I turned and saw Alyn with a smile but I can see that how different his eyes looked.

I can easily tell how my face brighten up upon seeing him. "Sure, I would love to speak with your highness."

"Violet--

Luke wasn't able to say anything else after receiving a glare from me. I turned away and smiled at Alyn as I cling on his arm.

Alyn started leading me to the garden. As soon as we reached, he placed his hand on my head.

"Cleanse" I saw a bright light coming from his hand and after that it disappeared.

"How do you feel now?" He asked in concern.

I realized that I gained control of my body once again. "T.. thank you."

"You've been possessed by a dark entity again. I can't understand why it appeared but I was pretty sure I destroyed it back then." He held my hand. "Tell me, Violet. Have you touched any cursed objects that can be possessed by an evil spirit?"

I cannot tell him that it is actually the real Violet who was in control earlier and I'm the one who's possessing her body. What he just said is a good reason.

I put on a confused face. "What do you mean? I don't think that I touched any cursed objects. If I know that it was one, shouldn't I avoid it instead?"

"Indeed." He said as if he came into realization. "No one can distinguish a normal object from a cursed one.. but this is the only possibility. You might have touched one accidentally."

"W.. what should I do?" I asked worriedly.

"Until we destroy that object, that spirit would continue to try and possess your body."

I need to stop Violet from possessing my body or else it will definitely lead to my death!

As much as I don't want Alyn to help me since I know that he's my future killer, I can't do a thing but to accept his help. He's the only one who can notice it whenever Violet controls her body.

I need to work on my light magic.. maybe if I strengthen it, I can do something whenever Violet control this body.

"Your highness, Letty, Duke Trancy is looking for you. It's time to open the gifts."

I was still worried, what if Violet comes back and takes control of this body again?

I felt a gently stroke on my head. "Don't worry, Violet. I will protect you."

I raised my head and stared at Alyn's gentle smile. Despite how dark it is in the garden, I can see him sparkling brightly.

----

When I headed back with Alyn and Evelyn, everyone was there.

I turned my head and saw Luke with a small smile on his lips. I wanted to apologize to him.. I should apologize to him later, right?

They gave me their gifts and when I opened their gifts, I was surprised to find that the their gifts were all books.

We laughed upon seeing this, although it's a good thing that, there wasn't a same book there.

"I would like to thank everyone for coming here and for celebrating my birthday with me. As a thank you gift, I would like to play a music for you all."

I walked towards the piano and sat on the chair.

"I never knew you could play." Alyn commented.

"This will be my first time hearing her play the piano too." My father said as he stared at me.

I smiled. My piano skills were actually from my previous life. This will be my first time touching a piano in this world but I am very confident with my skills since I was studying piano since I was seven.

I started playing 'Dance the night away' by Twice on the piano.

I love listening to kpop songs and Twice is one of my favorite girl groups.

My fingers did it's job as I smiled at the music I was playing. It was indeed a happy song and pleasant to the ears.

If I started singing in a different language, I can imagine how their faces will turn.

After I played, I heard them clapping. I stood aside and bowed at them.

"That was amazing! I never heard a piece like that in my whole life." Evelyn said with a smile.

Why of course you won't, Evy. This music came from another world.

"The piece is entitled 'Dance the Night Away', this is actually a song sang by a choir I heard when I visited the town." I lied. "The name of the choir is Twice, from the looks of it, they move from one place to another."

I can't believe I'm making Twice a choir group.

"That's a funny group name.. But I could say that they are an interesting choir, to be able to come up with a music as lively as that."

I just smile with what Evelyn just said.

My father patted my head and smiled proudly at me before he faced the others. "Anyway, since it's already late at night, I have ordered my servants to prepare the guest rooms for everyone. The servants will lead you to your respective rooms."
