Chapter Text
It was night time, the moon shone brightly. As it gave light to the dark Apheus Mansion, in the mansion their was a girl running around trying to find the library. She made a right turn and found the library she opened the door trying to be quiet as not to awake any one. When the door was finally closed she used candle in her hand to aluminate the library and see, she placed it down on the reading table as she took out a book
Jennette opened the book, reading it….She sighed. Nothing changed not a single thing changed. She’s still in this story, she’s still stuck. Stuck in this stupid universe. She felt like everything she ever done was useless, why did she even hope for something to change. This happened 4003 times and yet every time, she hoped and that hope was broken every single time. What did she have to do for this t change for her not to die, was living past the age of 16 so much to ask for. Or at least the universe could erase her memories so she wouldn’t remember all her death’s, but no they couldn’t even do that
She decided to just…..Go to sleep, she place the book to where it belonged. Took her candle and felt for her bedroom, she would worry about defying fate tomorrow

Jennette was awoken by the maids, as she got out of bed and went to bath. She realized something actually did change she regressed to a younger age, usually she would wake up as 14. But this time she regressed to the age of 10, she couldn’t help but smile. What if she had a change this time around
’What No! I shouldn’t think that I can’t have my hopes broken again’
She snapped herself out of her dreams, as a maid gave her a weird look because of seeing Jennette smile. “You know. You should stop smiling, just because the Duke is allowing you to meet the Lovell family’s heir doesn’t mean he’ll like you” The maid said. Jennette just nodded, she was happy about learning what day it was ‘Hmm January 14 year —— So today I will meet Elijah, well that’s good start to this life! I can befriend him’ Jennette thought
After the bath, she got ready. Jennette’s hair was done in a bun, her dress was the color of green. Just like her eyes. Time came and she rode the Alpheus Carriage a long with her uncle. The ride wasn’t that long as a magic circle was used. Soon they were at the Lovell estate.
’Hmm…If I remember correctly the Lovell family has three children, Maybe if I could woo over Elijah…I could also meet his siblings’ I said in my mind, as I looked out the window I saw the gates of the Lovell manner. It was so breath taking, I couldn’t help but be anxious. ‘What if I mess this up…..’ Anxiety began to cloud my mind, when suddenly Roger’s voice took me out of my trans
”Jennette…You should calm your self down, make use of the etiquette your tutor taught you” Roger said to me, I took a deep breath calming my self down, as I nodded

Getting out of the carriage, She was walking by the side of Roger. Reaching the place, she saw madam Ivoria Ven Lovell Duchess of Lovell. Jennette couldn’t help herself from admiring the woman’s beauty. Ivoria’s long and soft black as night hair and ruby eyes, held wisdom; As that of a duchess, Along with her was her son and daughter
This caused Jennette to worry, since in the past it was known that Elijah Ven Lovell along with Celeste Ven Lovell were sharp minded and not easy to win over. Her thoughts were running wild, she knew she couldn’t let this opportunity go. Having the twins on her side would be helpfully in not dying young
Obviously panic was setting in, what if she messing things up she couldn’t have that happen. She needed them on her side unless she want’s to have Athanasia use them against her. Memories of dying by their sword due to Athanasia’s orders made her even more anxious. Suddenly a child’s voice called out to her, taking her out of her mini panic attack
“Oi doll why are you just standing their, do you not know proper etiquette” Lady Celeste said to her, Celeste’s gold eyes bore into Jennette’s green ones, Celeste’s hair night black like her mothers. At the voice of Celeste, Jennette did the appropriate curtsy. Elijah being the more observant one of the two quickly spoke up
”You did the wrong curtsy, weren’t Royalty. If a guard or worse a member of the Imperial family saw you, you could have been taken into prison. i suggest you change your ways” He said as his red eyes looked away from Jennette, his hair an angelic white. While his eyes shone with fire just like his magic, Celeste then nodded at the words of her brother.
Jennette was surprised she expected the two not to interact with her, she quickly apologized. Her voice soft, as she rambled an apology embarrassed. As the two simply looked at her, they expected her to act bratty. After all that’s was the rumors they heard about her
Celeste was tired of hearing Jennette she wanted to learn something about the girl, since she did seem quite interesting. “So.. How did you get into Duke Roger’s estate? I mean you’re obviously not the daughter of Duke Roger” Celeste asked trying to act indifferent, despite the fact that she was genuinely curious.
Jennette in her mind as jumping in joy it didn’t seem that the two hated her, she decided that answering Celeste would be better then avoiding the question “Well I was taken in, since I am his niece. He and my mother where siblings” Jennette said her head lowered. Their was an obvious awkwardness in the air
Elijah wanting to break the awkwardness, decided they play a game. The game? Hide and seek, Jennette being the seeker and the two being the hiders. “10!” Jennette said as she began to search for the two. She first found Celeste, the two decided to team up with finding Elijah
.
.
Two hours had passed they still couldn’t find Elijah. Celeste was starting to get annoyed, she was contemplating using her wind magic. While Jennette was still trying to find Elijah. “Sir Elijah! Sir Elijah!” Jennette called out, as Celeste was close to telling her mother, she just decided to correct Jennette “Jennette you don’t have to use ‘sir’. You don’t use lady with me so you don’t need to use sir with him. We’re both 12 anyways, not like our age gap is that big” Celeste said, her voice cool. She would prefer if Jennette didn’t use honorifics the three of them were acquaintances now any ways
“I caught you!” Jennette yelled as she saw Elijah, Elijah was disappointed for the first time he lost in hide and seek. He was grumbling as Celeste was giggling, she was very very happy. She never managed to find Elijah in hide and seek, so seeing someone rather Jennette beat him in the game made her smile
”Stop laughing Ces” He said annoyed, Elijah glared at Celeste. As a smiled was growing on Jennette’s face, she covered her mouth. The twins couldn’t help but look at her
The three just laughed. As the day grew into the afternoon the three continued to play. After playing Tag the three were called into the meeting room
”So what are your thoughts” Duchess Ivoria said, Celeste and Elijah were shocked. “Wait so you mean that Jennette will LIVE WITH US!” Celeste’s eyes brightened in happiness
