My name is Evelyn Wood. I was fourteen years old when my father died because of the war between Rosse and Lilly.
Because of my father's death, my mother, Pristin, became a proud and strict individual who is renowned for her tremendous ambition and prowess. She became a candid critic, and often directly voices her opinions of others. She became the head of the Wood family. My family was given the title of a 'Duke' after my father died in war. He was one of the heroes who saved countless lives.
Hearing stories of how my father saved countless lives, I wanted to be a knight. I was surprised when my mother didn't stopped me. She even allowed me to break off the engagement I had with the heir of the Wright Family.
"Your father will be proud of you if he's here." This is what she'll usually says whenever she sees my achievements.
Yes, all my hard work was because I wanted to make my mother proud and I want her to know that I can handle myself.
After I graduated from Rosse Magical Academy, I entered the White Rose Order after completing all the requirements and passing all the trials they gave. Becoming a knight wasn't easy.
From the lowest rank knight, I started climbing up until I was been promoted as a golden armored knight.
I served under the Royal Family and I swore my loyalty to them just like how my father gave them his loyalty.
I was one of the knights assigned to guard Prince Alyn and my shift would be during the evening.
One night, I never expected him to approach me.
"Evelyn."
I placed my hand on my chest and bowed at him, showing him the respect he deserves as a member of the royal family. "Your Highness."
"I'll be giving you a mission for this month."
I didn't raised my head, it was rude to raise my head without his permission. "I will accept any mission you offer, Your Highness."
"As you know, I will be heading to the Lilly kingdom tomorrow with the Queen. I want you to accompany my fiancee here since she will be visiting the library. Aside from that, it is your duty to keep her close to you and safe, understand?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Good."
After that, he returned to his room and shut the door.
I straightened my back and stared at his door's room. I was on guard that's why I have to make sure that no one will dare come in his room without his permission the whole night.
His fiance is from the Trancy family, right? Then that means... that woman would not be an ordinary woman.
----
Prince Alyn's fiancee was so beautiful. But this is something I have expected already. Only an honorable woman can be his fiancee.
"It is an honor to be with the daughter of Duke Trancy. My name is Evelyn Wood, I will be accompanying you all throughout the day. The prince would like to apology since he couldn't come to accompany you, Lady Trancy."
"No need to be polite, Lady Evelyn, you can address me by my name." She smiled.
I expected her to be an arrogant and spoiled woman but I am honestly surprised upon hearing what she said.
"I wouldn't dare to do so, Lady Trancy. "
"I'm giving you my permission."
If that's the case then I can't do anything about it, right? Looking at how her eyes sparkled, I can say that she would keep insisting until I said yes.
"... Okay. I'll address you by your name if we're alone."
She smiled at me before she entered the carriage. I entered after she did and I sat on the side.
As we head to the palace, I thought that it was going to be a quiet journey until she spoke. "I heard from my father that female knights are not common, is it true?"
"Yes, it is. But the female knights are starting to grow ever since the White Rose Order was formed."
"That's cool." She smiled. "How many female knights are there so far?"
"Including our captain, we are twelve." I smiled back at her. She was being friendly to me so I should do the same.
"May I ask how old are you?"
I blinked a few times, a bit surprise with her sudden question but I still answered her honestly. "I am 27 years old."
I was surprised when I saw her jaw drop. I never saw anyone acted this way when I told them my age. Was it that surprising?
"You look so young! Are you really 27?!"
I shyly turned away with her sudden compliment. I was not expecting her to say that. "I am.."
"It's really surprising.. You're so pretty and you look like a teenage girl"
"I am grateful for the compliments you give, Lady Violet."
This was not my first time hearing this but seeing how Lady Violet reacts amused me. She was so different from other noble girls I know.
"I've decided! Lady Evelyn, lets be friend!" She grinned at me.
Once again, she surprised me by her words. "Y.. You're a.. high noble--
"That's not an excuse! We can still be friends even if you're a knight and I'm a noble you know. Ranks doesn't matter." She clasped her hands and her eyes became watery. "Please?"
She looks so cute right now. How could Prince Alyn not warn me that she was not an ordinary noblewoman?
She held my hands and leaned closer to me. "I never had a friend.. You see, I am sickly and I rarely leave my mansion.. If you become my friend, you will be my first female friend."
"..."
"Dylan is the only friend I have but since he's busy being a Prime Minister 's son, he couldn't visit me.. The maids are too distant in my place even if I try to befriend them. They are all so nice to me but still.. I want them to be my friends where they don't need to be so polite with me. So Lady Evelyn, please be my friend?"
I give up. This girl won't stop until I do right? I guess there's no wrong in being friends with her. Aside from being a knight, I am still a daughter of a duke. I have the same title as her. "Okay..."
----
I helped Lady Violet in finding books about Combination Magic but aside from that, she was searching more about topics about Healing magic.
I would accompany her everyday and help her find books about Healing Magic and Combination Magic concerning, Light, Earth and Water magic.
Hm... She seems so interested and curious about healing... could it be that she have a Healing ability?
Lady Violet and I became close and I actually liked her since she was so straightforward whenever she talks to me about things. I can see my mother in her, I should let mother meet her, mother would definitely like her.
I observed her actions for a month until I finally decided to ask her.
"Tell me the truth, Letty. Why are you interested in healing magic?"
I can see the hesitation in her eyes and it made me doubt more. Is she really a healer?
"Can you keep a secret?"
"As long as it is not a threat to the country, I can."
She turned to look if there were other people around before she leaned toward me and whispered. "I... have some healing abilities."
"Just as I suspected... So it's true."
"Was it that obvious?"
"Yes. You were so interested with healing. I can only guess that you have this ability. Wanting to know more about how to control it is what I thought."
She suddenly looked worried. "Have you reported this to Prince Alyn?"
"No. This is just my suspicion, unless I confirm it, I will not report it to anyone."
"Please don't tell this to anyone." She pleaded.
I smiled at her, aside from being a loyal knight, I am proud to say that I am also a loyal friend, as long as my friend is not someone who can bring danger to the kingdom. "I will keep this to myself. I give you my word."
"Say, Evy... I want to increase my healing ability... Can you help me with it?"
I nodded. "There are a lot of injured animals that can be found in town, we can start by healing them."
She grinned at me and hugged me from the side. "That would help me a lot! You're the best Evy!"
----
I started helping Violet and I was hiding her identity as a healer as I brought her to some clinics to let her use her ability and to help her healing ability rank up.
I was teaching her how to use Water magic and I was glad to see that she was a fast learner.
One day, I received a letter from my higher up that the village of Daffodilia was been attacked by three Disaster level Strix. I told Violet about this and I ended up bringing her since her ability as a healer would be in handy.
I brought her to the camp before I headed to the battleground to help my fellow knights but after battling the monsters for almost half a day, we were only able to kill one Strix, because of this, the two Strix flew away.
We were finally able to go back to our camp to rest but I found out that Violet fainted because she used too much magic. The feelings I had those time were anger and weariness.
The following day, the two Strix started attacking the town again and this time, according from the reports, they were more wilder. What could have made these monsters turn this way?
----
When Violet woke up, I gave her a good scolding and when I saw that she has learned her lesson, I told her about the Captain of the Crow Order wanting to see her.
Since she was in a disguise, I instantly told her my plan and everything went according to it.
I accompanied Captain Lapiz to the battefield and I was surprised on how strong he was. He was able to defeat a Disaster level monster with half an hour.
Knowing that he would want to try to convince Violet, I helped her leave the town.
----
After celebrating Violet's birthday, I went back to my original work. A few weeks after, I heard a rumor concerning the engagement about Prince Alyn and Violet, according to the rumors, the King cancelled their engagement and he engaged his son to the princess of Lilly kingdom instead.
No wonder Prince Alyn was in a bad mood for the following days, the rumors were true.
I finally have a break and during my week break, I received a letter from Violet, we were going to meet in Begonia town but when I reached there, I saw people gathering up near the town's east gate.
I was surprised to see Hannah, Violet's personal maid.
"Hannah?"
When she saw me, she rushed to my side. "Lady Evelyn! Please save Lady Violet! She's in danger!"
What...? Violet is in danger?
"Lead me to where she is!" I turned to the three knights that Hannah first approached earlier. "You three! Follow me!"
"Y-yes mam!"
Wait for me Violet! I will surely come and save you!
----
I felt heavens crushing down on me when I saw Violet's dead body.
I was too late... If I only came earlier or if I went to pick her up instead of meeting her in the town, none of these would happen!
Her wounds were not the work of a monster but it was the work of a man... Studying her body, I could tell that she was been raped before she was been stabbed on her body.
I clenched my fists and dug my nails on my palms, I didn't care how painful it was. Whoever did this, I will hunt him down! I promise you, Violet, I will avenge your death!
Hannah fainted and I was quick to catch her. I turned to the men who were with us. "Both of you will help me bring her body to the Trancy manor."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
