Margaret Laurence is a smart and witty girl with a sharp tongue, cheerful personality and stubborn attitude. She is kind, friendly and is not afraid of getting into troubles or creating them. She doesn’t back down from a challenge and never lost a fight, regardless if it’s verbal, mental or physical.

But that was all in the past. Somewhere along the line, she lost that spark in her and became a regular average girl. She convinced herself to stay quiet, move on with her life and not bother about unnecessary things. That’s the Margaret Laurence of Golden Dawn University today.

An unexpected friendship with the silent, sleepy and the infamous, Arthur Bridge added bit of color to her otherwise mundane life. But just when things seem to fall in place, Arthur is falsely accused, and Margaret is forced to confront many things she chose to ignore. But she didn’t wish to sit aside anymore. She is intent on proving Arthur’s innocence, even if it meant going against the whole university. 

As the spark inside her is once again reignited, Margaret is not afraid of stirring up a whole lot of troubles and pissing off many more people who are not to be messed with. 

Read on as Margaret teaches harsh lessons to students and teachers alike; while using her brilliance to outsmart her opponents, play mind games with the biggest masterminds and scheme against the sly old foxed. 

Old conspiracies are solved and hidden plots are exposed.
And all the while she helps create seven mysteries of the university along with a few bored old men.

Follow Margaret’s adventures as she shakes the century old university to its foundations with all sorts of disturbances.

Princess Elle and her Golden Knights Penthesila, Margaret and Marry have finally arrived in Atlantis Academy. Although they had hoped for and had expected a swift mobilization of the Academies and the nations of Avalon against the common threat of the Demons, they soon discover that they may not even gain any assistance at all as many are resistant to the possibility that the Demons that had once brought so much fear to them may be at their doorsteps again. 

While Ray prepares for the upcoming Trials of Valour, the final examination of the Academies, he receives a mission from the headmaster classified as an S-class mission: to ‘guard Princess Elle, show her around and get to know her’. To fulfil his mission as his master requested, Ray brings his royal guests to the most beautiful place in the country – the Gardens of Atlantis.

On Margaret and Ginro's location, Ginro is standing gently that looks formal with dignity and sadly face infront of Margaret suddenly Ginro walk closer at Margaret and Smiled like a psychopath

A male protagonist named Ginro. A 17 Year old kid, living in a small house who does part time job after school every night. he don’t know anything about his past or even his parents, he only knew that he grew up on orphanages. one day when he was asleep, there was a black shadow appeared on his dream and talk about being “Reincarnated”, when he woke up, he found himself in a middle of a forrest and had an evil power through on his entire body. what will Ginro do about his power?, he will used it to good or bad things?.

Princess Margaret:"I happened to hear from my sources that you possess power over plants the same as elves from myths as none of those facts can be confirmed I would like demonstration please help this seed to grow but before that will these recording devices interfere with your magic?" as she has three cameras set up facing the pott of soil with the seed in it and a clipboard for notes in her hand 
Me:"Princess clearly you are spying on me and no my magic is not affected by the recording devices"
Princess Margaret:"Good, you may proceed when ready" making no acknowledgement of spying accusation 

Rolling my eyes at blanton disregard practically confirmed my accusation I begin pouring my magic into the seed willing it to grow it took slightly more effort then growing grass which was almost none as soon as it matured and came into bloom I knew that she tricked me as the flower that bloomed was called dream blossom it was very rare and disappeared because of the gods over harvesting them only a few seeds remain and not even the goddess Ninsar goddess of plants could grow them as I look over towards the princess she had dropped her pencil and her eyes are wide open in shock.

These seeds don't originate from our world they come from a world that was over harvested by the gods leading to its destruction mostly because of this flower which until now only existed in textbooks and gods only allow their followers to know about it in the miniscule hope to find more as the flower can be used to enhance a gods divinity it could also possibly help other beings but that was never studied as the gods hoarded them all in a massive frenzy leading to gods killing gods just for a single petal leading to all gods that survived and profited from those flowers as flower gods as their divinity takes a unique shape of a flower and is inherently more powerful than a god of the same level.

Me:"You are not recording this or keeping that flower!" snapping her out of her trance 
Princess Margaret:"But the potential surely you must understand the significance of this!"
Me:"Either you are ignorant of or willfully disregarding the consequences of having that flower bloom on our world as it not endangers us but the entire world as the gods will rip up this world to try and find more of these flowers and if they discover that a spirit can grow them they will work to enslave us and spirits would rather be destroyed than be enslaved!"
Princess Margaret:"Isn't there any compromise can't the spirits be reasonable?"
Me:"We are reasonable the gods are the ones hunting spirits existing in the empire would you aid those seeking your destruction?"
Princess Margaret:"Maybe if the gods see what they can do maybe the gods will work with the spirits" she said desperately 
Me:"That worked out so great for the titans as soon as they realized they couldn't control them and they were a threat to their power they led extermination campaigns against them leading to their genocide the gods who don't have a foothold on this world will send armies to kill off the spirits to prevent their enemies from growing in power and if the spirits refuse the gods of this world will hunt them down!"
Princess Margaret:"Your right, but I can't watch this flower be destroyed can you somehow absorb it like the gods?" she said while deleting her recordings 

I can honestly say I did not even consider that possibility nor did I think that she would ask me to absorb it instead of trying to take it for herself as she is a god decedent being from the imperial royal family and it could greatly benefit her and it was her seed quite frankly I was trying to figure out how to get away with murdering her and pushing the blame on someone else so that I wouldn't suffer the consequences which is why I was wasting time talking with her and now I am wondering if I should still kill her for good measure or keep her alive and see if she can be of use to me.

The next day.
Jessy visited the queen in her study room to inform her that Virgie's journey back home was smooth and pleasant.
"So, what happened last night, child?" Queen Margaret asked curiously.
Jessy smiled. "The reunion between Virgie and her family is filled with happiness and confusion."
Queen Margaret sighed a bit. "Well...confusion is expected...but Virgie will be able to accept and adjust to everything because humans are good in adapting to situations quickly. So don't worry much about them, they will be fine."
"That's all, Mother," Jessy said.
"I will erase memory again next week, either Thursday or Friday," the queen informed her.
"Okay, I will go back to the clinic now, Mother," Jessy stood up and ambled towards the door.
On her way to the clinic, she met Princess Abigail in the hallway.
"Jessy...I'm so bored here! I want to go out and explore the world outside!" Abigail complained.
She smiled at the girl. "Oh, so you want to go out? Where in particular?" she asked.
Princess Abigail pondered for a moment. "Hmm, anywhere as long not here!"
She was thinking of a beautiful place to take Abigail. "How about the beach? Do you like to visit a beach?"
"Yes! Please take me there right now!" Abigail demanded and clapped her hands in excitement and anticipation.
Jessy shook her head. "Not right now, I still have a blood transfusion to do. Tonight after I'm done with my duties in the clinic. I will take you to the beach, we will see your brother Adam first and his friend Caden so that the four of us can visit the beach together. How about that?"
Princess Abigail was grinning from ear to ear. "Wow! I love walking on the seaside. I want to swim in the ocean! It's been ages since I had last seen the sea and able to smell the salty air of the ocean, feel the sand under my feet and see the seagull!"
"Okay, bring your swimwear then," Jessy said. "But just in case, your brother and his friend are not in his condo unit tonight then it will only be the two of us on the beach. Is that okay with you?"
"No problem, if it's only you and me because I'm going to die in boredom here inside the Facility," the princess said twirling her hair in her fingers. "What time, Jess? So that I can prepare my swimwear..."
"At midnight tonight, be ready," Jessy said. "I will go back now to the clinic, see you later, Abigail," she began walking towards the direction of the clinic.
"Thank you, Jess, for agreeing to take me out!" the princess enthused.
"Don't mention it!" she looked over her shoulder and waved her hand at the princess and proceed to her destination.
...
Inside the clinic.
The kid from Antonia's ward was already lying in the bed. Two more to go and they will be ready to be relocated into the Habitat so that the children can continue to live a normal life.
The doctor began the blood transfusion process.
While she was lying in bed, her mind was preoccupied of what she just witnessed in the reunion with Virgie and her family earlier in the city. Although she can see the happiness overflowing in Martina and Rudy's face upon seeing their missing daughter, she can only see confusion and bewilderment in Virgie's face.
She was sure the following day, Virgie will have a dreadful headache because of so many things that have been happening while she was away. The more her confusion grow if her parents began asking her question on where she was staying during the time of her disappearance and where the money comes from that they will surely find in her sling bag.
She was wondering if she will continue the process of erasing their memory? or not anymore?
But it's a necessity, anyways, she still has next week to mull things over.
It looks like erasing the humans' memory is beneficial for the vampires but posed a big problem to some of the rescued mortals once they already return to their family.
But there is no other way...it's the only way.
Sighed.
Jessy decided to focus her mind on the outing she had promised to Princess Abigail tonight. She was hoping that Adam and Caden will be at the condo tonight. It's been a long time since she last visited the beach, she is excited to see the place again!
Five hours later.
Jessy exited the clinic and went to find Abigail in the study room. She would ask the queen's permission first since she will be taking Abigail with her.
She found the queen and the princess talking inside the study room.
"Oh Mother, here is Jessy!" Princess Abigail exclaimed.
"Good evening, Mother, I'm here to ask your permission, I will bring Abi to Adam's condo unit in the city tonight, we will be back after a few hours," Jessy said.
"Okay, take care of yourself girls," the queen said. "Don't stay too long outside!" she reminded the girls.
"We will be back before the morning comes, Mother, I promise," Jessy assured the queen.
Queen Margaret nods her head.
"Bye Mother, see you later!" Princess Abigail said while holding her backpack in her right hand.
The girls exited the study room to go to Jessy's room.
Inside the room.
"I will change my clothes first," Jessy said and went inside the bathroom.
Princess Abigail sat down on the bed and waited for Jessy to come out. The excitement still plastered on her face, she looks like a little child going out on an adventure for the first time.
A few minutes later Jessy exited the bathroom. "Let's go!" she said to the younger woman.
"Are you not going to bring swimwear?" Princess Abigail said.
Jessy was shaking her head. "No, I'm not going to swim tonight. I will just watch you swimming on your own," she responded.
Princess Abigail. "Okay. Oh my, I'm so excited!" she squealed in delight.
Jessy hooked her arms on the princes and executed the teleportation process.
A moment later.
They landed in the living room of Adam's condominium unit to Caden's utter surprised.
"Jesssy! OMG...you scared the hell out of me! And who is this beautiful lady with you?" he surveyed the pretty girl from head to toe.
"It's Princess Abigail, Adam's only sister," Jessy replied.
"Ah, the real Princess! Nice meeting you Princess Abigail! My name is Caden," he bowed his head in greetings to the girl.
Princess Abigail awarded Caden a friendly smile and sat down on the sofa. "Hello, Caden, nice meeting you!"
They shake hands.
Jessy asked, "Where is Adam?"
"He is in his room," Caden replied.
Jessy walked towards Adam's room.

Atlantic Ocean 

Five ships flying German flags were firing their cannons and anti-aircraft rifles on Swedish warships that were protecting with their lives a smaller passenger ship. 

On the German ship, the Nazi soldiers aimed the anti-aircraft artillery, Flak 38 caliber 20 and fired without mercy or showed mercy.

*Zunn Zunn Zunnnn Zunnnn Zunnnn Zunnnn

Like many lights crossing over the sea, the shots of Flak 38 reached over seven hundred meters per second and hit Swiss warships in 5 seconds, creating numerous holes in the hulls of Swiss warships.

Of course, the Swiss ships also fought back using their own 20mm Oerlikon anti-aircraft weapons

*BOMMMM! BOM! BOM! BOMMN! BOMMMMMM!

Suddenly shots with explosive ammunition from the German Cannons went through a Swiss warship and exploded causing a cloud of black smoke to slowly rise into the sky.

Bodies of Swiss soldiers without arms or legs began to appear on the surface of the sea that slowly gained the reddish color, this scene made everyone understand the cruelty of war.

Without the Swiss ships noticing a small boat with German soldiers broke the circle of defense and went towards the passenger ship.

Inside the Passenger Ship

"Grandpa Nevel! I'm scared." A girl with black hair and blue eyes spoke hugging strongly an old butler's dress.

The girl was about 12 years old, she was wearing a
Dressed as a white princess, she buried her head in the old man's arms in fear of the sounds of gunshots and cries of regret.

"All right, Margaret, the soldiers will protect us." Butler Nevel spoke in a calm voice and showed a gentle smile for the Heir Princess of Switzerland but her eyes glowed with a cooler light.

Nevel was not afraid to die, he has lived a long time. He was afraid that the little girl in his arms would die in that damned war that Germany started with the world.

*BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

Old Butler Nevel's thought was interrupted by the violent explosion that occurred near the passenger ship, the explosion made the whole ship swing to the sides, causing it to unbalance itself and almost fall to the ground.

While trying to balance himself with Princess Margina in his arms, Butler Nevel heard panic cries from the maids about the ship and sounds of gunfire began to sound throughout the passenger ship, he immediately learned that the ship had been invaded by German soldiers.

Nevel knowing he had to run, otherwise, they would be caught by the German soldiers, quickly he ran holding the princess in his arms he ran through the empty corridors of the ship but being an old man, he soon got tired and leaned against the wall breathing heavily.

Nevel for the first time hated his age, he looked at the Princess in his arms and put her down while he crouched down to see her big blue eyes.

"Princess Margaret, I want you to pay close attention," Nevel spoke with a gentle smile for the girl with the black hair and blue eyes, who nodded as she looked at the old butler with tears that threatened to fall from his beautiful blue eyes.

"Princess, run to your room as fast as you can and don't leave, no matter what doesn't open the door for anyone speaking with a language you can't understand." Nevel the butler spoke looking straight into the blue daisy eyes.

"Aren't you coming with me, Grandpa Nevel?" Marguerite asked Nevel trembling as tears began to flow down his cheeks.

"Don't cry Marguerite, I have to help some people, so I'll hide with you later" Nevel spoke with a gentle smile for Marguerite.

Margaret hearing River nodded innocently and ran to her room with all her speed.

Seeing his young Princess running, Nevel pulled a Mark IV Webley revolver from his waist and leaned against the wall with his eyes closed waiting for certain German soldiers.

Some time passed and several hasty steps were heard by Nevel who was still keeping his eyes closed hiding the Webley Mark IV Revolver in his jacket.

"Schnell, Schnell finde Diese verdammte Prinzessin." A Nazi captain with a red armband with two little black rays on his arm spoke shouting to his subordinates.

[Note: The sentence is in German translation and "Quick, Quick find that damn Princess."]

The old man who understood what the German soldiers were talking about felt rage fill his heart but quickly repressed that rage in his chest, it was not time just a little more and he will make these demons pay for all this slaughter.

Nevel quickly held his breath and waited for the right moment to deliver the fatal blow to these Nazi soldiers.

"Captain! A body of an old butler." A German soldier spoke in German as he pointed at Nevel standing on the ground with his head down.

"If the butler's here, the princess is nearby." The Nazi captain spoke with a cool smile as his eyes glowed with uncontrollable greed.

The five Nazi soldiers, out of arrogance or perhaps stupidity, ignored Nevel's body lying on the ground without even asking whether he was alive or dead. They even ignored the fact how and that the butler died, if they only killed the ship's maids.

As soon as the five soldiers passed Nevel's "dead" body, the body opened its eyes and raised its head as it pulled the Webley Mark IV revolver from its jacket.

Nevel showed a cold smile on his aging face and did not hesitate to pull the trigger on the Webley Mark IV Gun.

*Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! *

Formerly Nevel Norvem, known as the red devil of Switzerland participated in numerous wars, no matter what weapon he used, Nevel never missed a shot at such a short distance.

In less than three seconds the five Nazi Soldiers were on the ground, expressions were still vivid in their faces, disbelief and fear of death were seen on each of their faces.

Blood slowly flowed out of their heads, each had a shot behind his head that passed all over his brain and crossed his forehead creating a 3cm hole in his forehead.

Nevel got up from the ground and quickly turned the bodies of Nazi soldiers in search of something important, soon he found a letter written in German, he had no time for it so he kept the letter in his jacket.

Knowing he was running out of time Nevel ran to his Princess's room in time, he ran at his own pace not to get tired.

Five minutes later, Nevel saw Princess Marguerite's room intact and sighed with relief, he approached the door and slammed gently at her as he spoke. "Princess I am you can open."

The same second Nevel spoke, the door opened and a girl jumped on his arms crying loudly as he held his jacket tight.

Nevel only straightened his hair to try to calm Princess Marguerite, without noticing that Marguerite had slept, so Nevel entered the room with her sleeping in his Arms and gently put her to bed.

"Now just wait for reinforcements or we're dead." Nevel thought as he closed the door and began to barricade items in front of the door.

He had been warned not to go to the festival anymore. But there he was in the summer festival enjoying it to the fullest. The sound of fireworks and commotion was pleasing to hear for him.
He would rather enjoy the festival than keep his promise with his mother. For the sake of festival he had yet again snuck out from his house. Why wouldn't he? It was a festival that came only once a year. This year's festival was even livelier than before; the crowd that would make ordinary person nauseated were attending the festival. But he was everything other than ordinary.
Festival Maniac: Ryuga, they called him. His reputation was very good in Siman street that is only at times of attending festival because other than festival he wasn't interested in anything. After all he wasn't festival maniac for nothing. But there was another thing that made him attend festivals every year.
"Coconut Water!"Ryuga's eyes immediately lit up when his eyes met the stall selling it. The thing that most people didn't like, he was addicted to it. Indeed he was weird, not even his parents knew how his brain worked.
After a sip, he felt like he was in heaven and with generosity he gave double the amount of the item to the seller but not to owe him anything the seller handed another coconut water to him. Another coconut water, what else did he need?
'Same as always eh?'A smile appeared in his face.
Taking sips of his holy water he started roaming around the area.
His heart skipped a beat when he saw two beautiful girls coming at his direction. He immediately hid himself in the corner of an alley and waited for the girls to pass by him.
'Damn! Liar!'
The girl wearing a red shirt and brown skirt had told him that she wouldn't attend the festival this morning but seeing her in festival his face grew pale.
If it wasn't for the fact that she would sell him out to his family, Ryuga hadn't hid himself in the first place. At the last festival, it was her who sold him and it was Ryuga who got punished for sneaking out.
This time he was sure not to make any mistake like revealing himself like before. He didn't put up his guard when she said she wasn't coming in the festival and was roaming without paying mind to anything. But now the situation was different.
'Crafty witch, she did end up coming here...Wait! was this her plan all along? If it was, I fell right into her trap.'
He leaned against the wall in the dark alley trying to avoid being spotted.
'God, please help me from this situation. If you help me this time I will give 100 Coconut to you...but of course you aren't getting any water inside it...100 Coconut for saving me. A good deal, isn't it?'
He became more nervous when he started hearing footsteps of the girls. In his mind he heard nothing but footsteps, the louder it became, and the more anxious he was. The girls were now passing by him.
'Damn it! I am a wall...a wall...a little out of shape wall...nothing out of ordinary...nothing at all...Damn...go away already.'
After the two girls passed, Ryuga finally let go of the wall and sighed in relief.
'Now I need to find a way to go to home without them noticing me.'
Having a neighbor like her was too much of a hurdle. No, it was not a hurdle but living walking atom bomb of his life. But this time he was happy that she didn't notice him, if she had there would be a huge punishment waiting for him.
Afterward...There would be no afterward.
Ryuga finally came out from the shadow. After suddenly getting out of the dark his eyes were somewhat sensitive to light therefore he used his hand to block the light falling in his eyes.
"Hehe"An evil laugh was coming from Ryuga's back. He immediately figured out to whom it belonged. After all, they were neighbors since childhood and this laugh was something he wouldn't forget even if he were to suffer from amnesia.
But he didn't let his fear et the best of him, he calmed himself and turned around to face her but he couldn't hide his nervousness.
"Oh, if it isn't Rika, one of the beauty of our class. How did you lost your way...I mean find your way to the festival? I thought you weren't coming...what a coincidence. I also happen to be passing by...haha...haha...If the princess is free, would you like to enjoy the festival together?"He said with a smile.
"Hehe"
'Damn it! Plan to flatter the opponent failed, now what? Then lets proceed to plan B: Winning over the opponent...Heh, now brace yourself, you witch.'
"How about I buy you something in the festival...I heard you liked teddy bears...Do you want me to buy it for you? Look even the purse in your waist is torn...want me to buy a new one?"
"Hehe"
Plan B failed as well. Now he had nothing in his arsenal, was his luck truly up? He again said in desperation,
"What does milady, ah no, princess want then?"
"Princess," Finally a word came out of Rika's mouth except for the evil laugh. "I like the sound of it."
'Princess? Don't flatter yourself dumb witch, if someone is a princess it is a girl by your side...Ah! Margaret...what a beauty.'
But he didn't reveal his thoughts and forced a smile as he said, "What does the princess want then?"
"What do you want?"She replied with another question, "You're not being like yourself, just state what you want?"
"W-what do you mean? I am always like this; I am asking you with a pure heart. I don't want anything, nothing at all."
'Except that you leave me alone.' He thought to himself.
"This isn't like you."She said with a gentle tone. After hearing her tone no one would believe that it was the same girl making those evil laughs before.
"If you were your usual self, you would be like; dumb witch why are you here? Or like; witch don't eye on me, you aren't  going to marry me, you don't fit my criteria or standards. But why are you changing your tone, is something wrong?"
But when she finished her sentence she realized something. 
"Hehe"
Now that was truly evil and the smile was nothing less. Margaret who was by Rika's side didn't speak a word but silently watched as the drama unfolded. She was happy seeing Ryuga change his tone but somewhat unsatisfied. The silent killer slowly decided to make her move.
"Ryuga is also here? From what I heard you promised your mother that you wouldn't attend the festival anymore, did you lie to your mother?"
Now that was the fuel to the fire. She silently used her words to kill her opponent without showing her intent. Truly wonderful, her skill to use words were truly wonderful but that wasn't something to praise right now.
'Now that was evil...her beauty and her intentions doesn't match up.' Ryuga felt like crying but he somehow restrained his grief.
"So we were in the festival, no wonder you were very polite."
'What? She didn't know that?...but why did she laugh when I just got out of the alley?'
Just as he was confuse, his eyes glanced upon a shooting stall behind Rika.
No wonder. The prize was a teddy bear. That laugh wasn't intended for me but for the stall vendor. Can there be such a coincidence? But why was she facing him when he turned towards her?
Then his eyes suddenly made contact with the plastic bullet at the ground. So she was trying to pick the bullet. Another huge coincidence, it seemed as if the God itself was trying to punish Ryuga for sneaking out.
If you don't seek death, you won't die.
'So it was me who dug my own grave.'
At this time he cursed his own luck.
"Dumb witch just die somewhere."Ryuga shouted and left in anger.
The two girls were dumbfounded and didn't know what to say when he left. 
If he was going to get punished anyway why not enjoy the festival for the time being. He thought to himself and again went to the stall which sold Coconut water and started drinking it while roaming around.
He then checked his watch.
"Half an hour left till fireworks, I should just roam around till then."
When he was roaming around he came across a garden nearby. There were two people chatting in the garden and the place seemed somewhat deserted. 
The two people were chatting with each other but the two were wearing suits, alone in a garden was somewhat shady so, he decided to eavesdrop in their conversation.
At this time he felt like a detective of the novels who was about to catch the criminals red-handed.
'Hehe' He avoided the stone in the road and leaned against the wall of the garden to hear them properly.
"Jahnam street, Apartment-5," When he heard those words his eyes immediately lit up. "Room 3."
What were they planning to do was the only question he had in his mind. Then he heard the words he was waiting for all along.
"Kidnap girls."
'Jackpot! Now I know they are going to kidnap the girls and keep them in the address they mentioned earlier. This is becoming more and more interesting. Look how I expose you red-handed.' He thought to himself.

He assumed that they would keep the girls there without even listening to their previous conversations. Then he silently nodded in agreement to his own plan. He got fired up.
"Two girls."One of the men in black said.
"Photo?"Another one asked.
The man took out the photo from his pocket and handed it over to another man in black.
"Names?"The man took the photo and asked.
Another man slowly replied, "Rika,"
When he heard the name, Ryuga who was eavesdropping formed an evil smile with his lips. That was a smile which wanted to see his enemy suffer.
'Rika is going to get kidnapped? What a nice thing to hear. The tone in which the words were spoken is also nice. I could hear these words forever. Dumb witch, too bad for her.'
Even though she was like mortal enemy for him, she was also his neighbor who helped him many times so his thoughts somewhat started to change.
'What if she got kidnapped nothing will happen to her after that, right? What if something happens to her? Would I be considered guilty because I knew something but didn't say it because of my anger? Should I tell her beforehand?'
Many thoughts started appearing in his head and at last he decided to wait for kidnappers to make the move. If he hastily told about kidnapping to Rika, the kidnappers would be alarmed and could attack her when her defense was down. So he decided to hear them more and make his decision.
Many thoughts appeared in his mind but only 1 second had passed in real time.
The kidnapper was about to reveal the name of another target. He pushed his ear a little more for the hope of listening carefully.
The mouth of the man in black who handed over the photo finally opened revealing another name,
"Another target is Margaret."
"Margaret."He muttered in a low voice.
Even imagining something like this was about to happen to Margaret broke his heart.He immediately flared up in rage.
'Kidnapping Margaret?'
He slowly moved his leg as his mind was filled with anger. He dashed and leapt towards the men in black with a coconut in his hands as he roared,
"Filthy Criminals, DIE!"
He was about to crush the skull of the men in black with the coconut in his hands.
But suddenly he found himself kissing the ground. Did he slip while he leapt? No, he was struck by something hard in his head. It wasn't that hard so the blood didn't gush out but was enough to make him unconscious.
'Damn!'He was struggling with the last bit of energy he had.
In front of him the corners of one man's lips rose as he said,
"Thanks Joseph, you were a big help!"
"No problem."Joseph replied as he threw the rod in the ground.
'If I am about to lose consciousness I will at least remember your face, worthless sh*t!'He cursed the man and with all his might he turned towards the man named Joseph.
Even if it was blurry he saw the face of the man who hit him.
"You're...
Darkness covered his eyes before he could finish his sentence.

They were expecting special guests today, so Bina made it a priority to dress well. When she was almost done, Samantha came in to let her and Lucretius know.
"Your highnesses, the Toruka family has arrived."
"Thank you. We are ready to leave. Now, your highness…"
When Bina tried to stand up, Lucretius complained quietly.
"But I want to stay here a little longer with you."
He was enjoying brushing her hair when Samantha came in. He placed the brush down on the table.
They were in Bina's dressing room and the emperor was the one helping her preparation. The maids were used to this now. Brushing Bina's hair was one of Lucretius' favorite hobbies. He had been doing this since Bina was his first wife.
Even though the empress had told him it was not necessary, he refused to give up. Nowadays, Bina was more used to getting ready with her husband's help than being with her maids.
Lucretius kissed Bina's shiny hair. A beautiful scent tickled his nose.
"Hmm. My empress is so perfect that even her hair is flawless."
The younger maids looked envious of Bina, but the experienced maids like Yulia didn't even seem to notice Lucretius' ridiculous comments anymore.
Bina grinned. "We are going to be late. We shouldn't make them wait."
"Alright."
Lucretius gestured at Yulia, who moved quickly. Bina was already dressed, and the only thing left was to choose her jewelry. When the maids brought an array of her royal collection, Lucretius looked at them.
"Hmm. None of them are perfect for my empress, but… I guess it can't be helped. What should we pick?"
Just then, a youthful voice said, "Excuse me, your highness."
Bina and Lucretius looked at the young girl sitting nearby.
In her lacy green dress, they saw the first princess Beatrice, who just turned five. She had recently perfected the royal etiquette. 
Elegantly and confidently, Beatrice continued, "May I choose her highness' jewelry? If it will please you, sir."
Her voice still sounded childish, but the way she spoke was similar to that of a stuffy old nobleman.
Bina and Lucretius had been disappointed at how fast Beatrice was growing. They had been hoping that she would remain a kid for a while longer, but Beatrice was insistent on keeping rigid manners even in front of her parents.
They would have preferred her to have a tantrum rather than to ask so properly.
Lucretius replied, "Of course. You can pick one, Beatrice."
The child bowed deeply. "Thank you, your highness."
 When she tried standing up from the sofa, she failed.
"…"
She was too small, and her feet were dangling in the air. She tried to stretch her legs so she could descend properly, but it was impossible with her short legs. Beatrice puffed her cheeks in frustration but quickly realized that she was acting childishly. She always wanted to appear like a proper princess, but at the end of the day, she was still only five years old.
Bina and Lucretius noticed this and grinned secretly.
Thankfully, Yulia noticed Beatrice's situation and helped her down. Beatrice walked towards the maid who was holding the tray of the jewelry. The maid was about to lower the tray so Beatrice could look when the emperor quickly walked towards his daughter and lifted her up.
Beatrice's green eyes widened. "Your highness!"
She sounded sullen, but Lucretius ignored it. Beatrice wanted to be seen as an adult, but her father was ruining it by treating her like a child.
Her cheeks started to puff up again in annoyance when she saw the shiny pieces on the tray. 
Lucretius asked, "Now, would you like to pick one?"
"Yes, your highness."
Beatrice nodded and continued to stare at the pieces in awe. Bina smiled and asked, "Which piece do you think would suit mommy?"
The little girl frowned in contemplation. Lucretius lifted her up higher, so she could have a better look.
He commented, "I'm sure you will choose the best piece that will make your mother look more beautiful."
Beatrice smiled gently and replied, "But her highness is already the most beautiful woman in the world even without any jewelry."
"That's right! You are so smart, Beatrice. You are just like your mother, smart and beautiful."
The maids laughed gently, and Lucretius nodded in satisfaction. Bina blushed.
Lucretius continued, "Yes, that's right. Beatrice's mother is the most beautiful woman in the world. It's true."
Bina wanted to disappear in embarrassment.
'S, stop!'
However, she couldn't say anything at this point. The maids and the servants were watching, so she couldn't scold her husband, the emperor. She also didn't want to make her daughter feel bad.
After studying each piece carefully, Beatrice finally pointed at one.
"I think that will suit her highness the best."
It was an ear cuff that was the shape of a wing.
"…"
"…"
Both Bina and Lucretius became speechless.
After a few seconds, Lucretius smiled widely and kissed Beatrice's cheek.
"My princess indeed has a very good taste."
Beatrice smiled proudly. Lucretius handed his daughter to Yulia and gestured for the maid. She then brought him the ear cuff. He put it on Bina himself.
It was a gift Lucretius gave before their first ball. It shined beautifully on her ear.
The emperor smiled in satisfaction and helped Bina to stand up.
The empress mentioned with a small laugh, "It's amazing that Beatrice chose this particular piece."
"I was surprised too. It just proves that this piece suits you very well."
Lucretius carried Beatrice again. The child looked at her mother and exclaimed, "You are so beautiful!"
Lucretius added, "Beatrice has such good eyes!"
Like father like daughter.
Finally, the family arrived in the garden. It was much later than expected so Bina became worried.
"Oh no, we made our guests wait too long."
***
 
It was a nice warm spring morning, so the royal family decided to greet the guests in the garden. The bright red-haired woman first noticed their arrival and stood up to bow.
"Greetings to your highnesses the emperor, the empress, and the princess."
Bina smiled brightly. "Please stand up, Liliana. You need to rest…"
Liliana smiled prettily and stood up with help from her husband. As Bina suspected, Liliana's belly had become large. Bina took Liliana's hand and escorted her to the table.
"So your due date is in about two months? How's your appetite?"
Instead of Liliana, another girl answered from behind. It was Roselia, now a fourteen-year-old girl.
"Hello, your highness. Her nausea has been worse than when she was pregnant with Cullen. Thankfully, she could eat a little better since about a month ago."
Bina nodded. "I'm glad to hear, Roselia. I can see that Liliana gained a bit of weight since I last saw her two months ago. I was so worried at the time since she was getting thinner while her belly was getting so big."
The three women continued to chat cheerfully while they sat down on the chair. Bina looked down at the small child, now four years old, who was grabbing onto Liliana's dress. Cullen bowed awkwardly.
"Your highness, hello."
He was an adorable boy with his mother's red hair. Also, like Liliana, he was very shy.
"Hello, Cullen. You have grown so much since I've last seen you."
Another youthful voice greeted from nearby.
"Long time no see, your highness!"
Bina's smile got even wider as she saw another red-haired young girl.
"Hello there, Margaret."
Bina reached out to pat her head gently. Kids grew up so fast. Bina remembered Katleyanira being pregnant with Margaret. It seemed like it was only yesterday, but Margaret was already so big.
The third princess of the former emperor.
Margaret was the youngest of all the former emperor's children. The three daughters of Katleyanira had higher ranks than any of their stepsisters because when Katleyanira was executed, Lucretius adopted them to keep them safe.
Another reason he did this was that they were useful spares for him. If he and Bina couldn't have a child of their own, they had to think of who their next heir could be.
Lucretius felt that Liliana could be a safe choice. She was emotionally weak and very soft-hearted, and she always felt like she owed the emperor and the empress for what her mother had done. On top of that, her husband's family, Toruka, was significantly weakened after Katleyanira's execution.
If Lucretius didn't adopt Liliana, then any of his other stepsisters would have had a claim to the throne if and while he was childless. For this reason, he felt that it was best to have Liliana as the first princess in line to the throne after him.
Not to mention, Roselia was engaged to the prince of Genoa, Izid, and it was important for her to keep her royal status.
Bina knew this; Liliana and Clodys understood this situation very well. This was why they maintained a very low profile.
The public often referred to Marquis Toruka as the 'royal dog,' but Clodys didn't mind it at all. In fact, when he heard some people whispering about him, Clodys approached them so he could announce loudly.
"A royal dog? What an amazing compliment! I am flattered that you think my loyalty to the royal family runs deep."
Those people would become pale and run away. Clodys, of course, didn't tell the emperor or the empress about this, but it was only a matter of time before the royal spies let the emperor knew.
When Lucretius heard about this, he laughed. "Hahaha. I guess I got a pretty good dog, then."
If Clodys heard this, he would have laughed too.
Bina couldn't help but found this dynamic between them as bizarre sight.

Love and conspiracy will all be mine! 

The court of the Otherverse is a place where poison lurks beneath the beauty.
I, who desires to become queen, needs to make everything mine in order to survive!
Beauty and poison both!

"Well, this is a pain in the ass." Lillian murmured looking down at the frog right beside her leg in disgust. "I don't care if you're the king, I am not picking you up."

"Ahhhh!" Margaret shouted as she fell to the ground, clutching her stomach while Geno kept shouting "No!" in the background as his magic weakened with every passing minute.

She just stood there, watching the scene unfold in front of her, unsure of what to do. 

"Uhhhhh … What do you think, your highness? Got any ideas about this?" She asked the frog but it only croaked back at her. "How did this happen anyway? How did you get turned to a fr-"

"You! I should have killed you when I had the chance!" Geno screamed at her and snapped his fingers.

She felt her airway get blocked again but this time it was very easy to brush off. 

"I feel powerful." She laughed and flicked her hand as she summoned smoke to him. The smoke made their way to him and no matter how hard he tried to blow them away, they wouldn't disperse.

They completely surrounded him, immobilizing his every movement as he fell to the ground. Lillian sucked in her breath when she heard him smack onto the floor.

"Sorry! I'm not sure what I did. I haven't really used my magic properly before." She snapped her fingers and lifted the frog into the air, making it follow her to the duke.

Lillian bent down and looked at him struggling as the smoke continued to swirl around him. 

"Well, that was anticlimactic. What do you think your highness? I'm a little bit powerful right?" She smirked at the frog who rolled its eyes at her.

Can frogs do that?

"Even as a frog, you're still incredibly annoying," Lillian complained to him, rolling her eyes as well. "Listen here, Duke, please turn him back."

The Duke burst into laughter while still on the floor, Lillian and the frog exchanged looks. He's defiantly lost his mind.

Margaret stood up from her position, with the help of the doctor and patted her belly, shaking when she felt no swelling anymore. She glanced at Lillian, whose feet was on her husband's face and a flying frog beside her. She composed herself and made her way to them.

"Listen here, f***ker, laughing isn't going to change anything. Nor do you have the option of going crazy. So tell me how to turn him back. Or so help me I will shove your **** up your **** and make you *****, *****, ******, *****, you ************." Lillian continued kicking him, releasing as much of the anger, frustration and fear she felt because of him. All the while the frog stared at her with its mouth agape.

Lillian pulled up her sleeves and was getting ready to start punching the Duke when the Duchess reached her.

"Lady Lillian." She called out to her, taking each step with the grace she always had and a kind but a tired smile on her face.

"D-Duchess. Hello." Lillian cleared her throat and pulled her sleeves down. "H-How are you?"

"I am doing fine. Something peculiar happened, Lady Lillian. I was just about to go into labour only a few minutes ago but then, pain coursed through my entire body and as suddenly as it came, it suddenly was all gone in a flash, even my swollen belly. I wonder how that could have happened, after all, my wish is to come true tomorrow." She smiled at her, giving off an aura her mother used to when she asked her about something she already knows the answer to.

Lillian cowered under her gaze and caved in, spilling everything to her. 

"So, you're the Fairy Godmother from the Old Sage. I know about Fairy Godmothers but I can't remember the last time the Old Sage had one. It would explain why my wish was granted now." Margaret said after listening to Lillian.

"You made a wish, Margaret?" The Duke shouted at her from the floor. "You're the reason she's here? What about your child?"

Lillian and the frog glared at him at the same time, ready to start hitting him again but Margaret started to talk to him, stopping her.

"Yes. I made a wish that I will lose this child and that I will never be able to have children anymore."

"You wouldn't." He hissed, looking at her in disbelief.

"I did. You know me well enough to know how much I love children and would rather be hurt than ever see them hurt." She leaned closer to him, her voice low and sharp, "And that's exactly what I did. I would rather never be able to have children again then to see them be born and die just to fulfil your selfish agenda."

His face contorted to a wide grin as all sanity began to leave his body, he opened his mouth to laugh again but Lillian quickly grabbed him and slapped him back and forth across the face.

"No. No. No going crazy. You still have to tell us how to turn the King back." She said gripping his collar and pulling him up as she continued to smack him across the face.
"You are the crazy one! Will you stop that?" He shouted at her angrily, until she stopped. "Spell Casters are the only ones that can undo the spells they cast but, as you can see, I'm not powerful enough to do that as of now. If you just give me a hint of your power, I may be able to change him back." He smiled up at her but Lillian just continued smacking him across the face.

"I read enough stories to know where this leads, there is always a way to counter the spell. Tell me what it is."

"Lady Lillian. I-If you keep hitting him like that he may lose consciousness." Margaret tried to tell her while holding her laughter back.

"He's useless." Lillian dropped him back to the floor and began to think as she walked back and forth. 

The frog floating beside Margaret, who looked at it with keen interest. 

"I cannot believe that you, of all people, got turned into a frog. It's ridiculous." She laughed at the frog King who glared at her. "If you had magic then this might have been avoided." 

"I need to call them. Jasmine! Rose! Uhhhh … You're not going to be interfering, just giving me ideas. So could you appear? I know that you're listening." 

"Hi, Lillian." Jasmine up popped just beside the frog, taking it into her hands. "This is so funny."

"I can't believe the King got turned to a frog, how much more of a fairytale is this going to get." Rose appeared beside Jasmine, laughing her lungs out. "Hello, Duchess."

"Who are these people?" Margaret asked, nodding at them as Rose took her husband and threw him through a portal. "And where are they taking him?"

"I am Jasmine and that person there is Rose. We're just transferring him to a cell in the dungeon of this palace. It is a pleasure to meet your acquaintance, Duchess." Jasmine introduced, looking up from the frog in her hand.

"Those names, that uniform and those crests. Don't tell me you are a part of-"

"Fairy Tale!" Lillian exclaimed then turned to all the confused faces looking at her. "The Princess and the Frog!"

"You think that will work?" Rose asked, sceptical.

"It has worked before. After all, the story of the Princess and the Frog happened in a kingdom here. I've heard of some people finding their soul mate this way." Jasmine said, holding the frog to Lillian. "Maybe it'll work now. It's just a kiss after all."

"Yes." Lillian grabbed the frog and held it to the Duchess, smiling expectantly. Rose and Jasmine slapped their foreheads when they saw what she did.

"I do appreciate your concern for the King, Lady Lillian but I do doubt that the King and I are destined for each other." The Duchess smiled awkwardly at Lillian.

"But you are childhood friends, right? It just might be, you know?"

"He is the best and most wonderful friend I could have asked for growing up. He was always there for me when I needed him. No one can replace him in my heart."

"Then? Why don't you want to kiss him? Is it just coz he's a frog now?"  

"Nothing like that Lady Lillian. It's just that I question my brother being my soul mate." She giggled seeing Lillian's expression as she said that.

"Brother?! But neither of you address each other as such." Lillian felt her head swim as her cheeks heated up.

"We have the same father, different mothers from different parts of the kingdom, but we grew up like friends and just treat each other like that. We are half brother and sister. We apologize for not telling you sooner, Lady Lillian."

Lillian looked at Rose and Jasmine who were crouched on the ground and shaking, trying to conceal their laughter.

"Well, this is something that just came out of nowhere," Lillian remarked and turned the frog to face her. "Guess we have to find another way to remove the spell off of you, your highness."

After a long night, Lillian collapsed while trying on a dress she altered.

 She woke up in another world, just to find out she is now the designated "fairy godmother" of the world. 

Will she ever find love for herself or will she be forever stuck fixing everyone else's problems?

Updates every Wednesday and Friday

The mild sun rays of the late dawn, fell on the soft skin of the sleeping beauty. Her skin had a warm glow. Hearing the chirping of the birds early in the morning, Margaret woke up. Rubbing her eyes, her sleepy face broke into a gentle smile. 
Today was a special day. She had plans for today. Since fifteen years, Margaret visited a place which holds a special spot in her heart. It had become a tradition for her now. 
Feeling happy yet empty from inside, she went to have a bath. Standing under the cold shower, she glanced at the dazzling pendant. It looked like a sparkling light in water. She held it close to her heart.  Wiping her wet damp skin, she moved out of the bathroom. She gently dried her long blonde hair. She wore a simple sky blue color gown with a big bow that hugged her slim waist. 
As she descended down the stairs, Caroline glared at the natural beauty who effortlessly looked beautiful without makeup. Her dark black eyelashes gave a subtle look of kohl, the perfect pair of eyes glistened as if they were dipped in water. The gown perfectly hugged her natural curves. She looked like a painting coming in life as it walked slowly towards her. 

"Good morning sister Caroline.", Margaret wished her.
Returning to her senses, Caroline looked at the beauty standing in front of her and wished "Happy birthday Margaret." her face showed no signs of happiness or gentleness.
"Thank you. You remembered my birthday?", Margaret was shocked.
"No, not at all. Father told me of course," smirked Caroline.
Being used to such treatment for so long, in fact for years, Margaret showed no signs of sadness. She knew that she held no importance for the stepmother and stepsister except for her father.
Without breaking her smile, "Thank you again, Sister Caroline, this means a lot to me," she thanked Caroline.
Before Caroline could speak, "Are you ready my birthday girl?," Corbette spoke as he walked towards the young girls.
"Good morning, father. Yes, I'm ready!", Margaret smiled.
"Good morning, father," Caroline wished.
"Good morning young ladies! Come on Margaret, we better be heading early today." he spoke as he smiled looking at how beautiful and adorable Margaret looked.
"Okay.", smiled Margaret.

Moving out of the villa, Margaret saw a palace's carriage parked in front of the gate. Looking at it, she got confused. She pushed aside her confused thoughts aside and started walking along with her face, trying to keep up his pace.
"You need to exercise my little girl. See you've grown so clumsy! you cannot even walk along with me...", Corbette commented.
"Father, you aren't walking! You're about to jog." complained Margaret.
"Is it? Catch me if you can." he started jogging as he spoke.
Seeing the sudden change in pace, Margaret started jogging along with him.
"That's not fair, father! I'm wearing a gown... I - I might trip down!", she spoke as she started gasping heavily for air.
Seeing her adorable face which had a shade of light red. He stopped in front of the palace's carriage.
"Get in!" he exclaimed as he waved his face towards the carriage, indicating her to speed up.

As she stopped in front of the carriage, she was surprised to see how beautiful the carriage was. The golden carriage was covered with floral designs with gems sticking on it.
The carriage man was in a white coat, holding the robes that were tied to two white horses.
'Am I supposed to get in? ' 

All these thoughts ran in her mind as her face reflected what her mind thought.
Guessing at her expressions, Corbette pinched her cheeks. Returning to her right mind, she looked at him adorably. 
"The special girl needs special treatment on her special day! Get in my Princess..." he spoke.
Smiling gently, Margaret got into the carriage.

She was awestruck.

The interior of the carriage was simply mind-blowing!
Sitting opposite her father, Margaret gazed at the entire carriage. She noticed very minute carvings on the interior walls of the carriage. Looking outside, she saw the trees sprinting under the cloudy sky. The sunrays peeped through the clouds. The scene looked serene. It looked like a living painting framed with the golden walls of the carriage. 
Wanting to feel the breeze outside, she pushed the handle of the glass window. With one swipe, the breeze blew all over her face. Her hair pushed backward, her eyelashes fluttered with the stroke of the breeze. Goosebumps ran all across her body.

Seeing her, Corbette's lips curled up into a mild smile.

After one hour, they reached their destination.
Stepping out of the carriage, Margaret saw the dry leaves swirling along with the flow of the wind. The big cherry blossom trees set free the flowers. It symbolized the fragility and the beauty of life. It reminded her that life is almost overwhelmingly beautiful but is also tragically short.
She stood there for a while, her eyes appreciating the beauty of the tree. A mild breeze accompanied by the freed flowers landed on her head. The beauty looked angelic. 
Opening her eyes, she took a step forward. Corbette looked at her as he stood near the carriage, not wanting to disturb her.

She took more steps forward and turned to her left to see a name engraved on a rock. 
'Emilia Whitmore'
She went near it, bent down on her knees and started cleaning the small patch of the large cemetery with her delicate hands. On removing the dried leaves, she placed a bouquet of white lilies. The place smelled like a funeral home.
"Good morning, Momma...", she smiled as she touched the letters of her mother's name. Tears raced down her white delicate cheeks. She pursed her lips as she smiled, not wanting to cry. Tears slid through her pursed cherry lips. Her lips drank her tears. Taking a deep breath, she wiped the tears and smiled.

Sliding her fingers over the name, something struck her mind. Looking around her, she saw the other rocks. She realized her mother's tombstone had no birth-year and death-year engraved on it.
Feeling slightly uneasy, she looked all over but found nothing.

She found a partial answer to her previous flooded questions.

She stood up, dusted her gown and started murmuring something. Corbette noticed this and sighed.
'She has suffered a lot', he thought.
Finally, after a few minutes, she turned around and started walking towards her father.
Upon reaching, Corbette lightly patted her shoulders and hugged her. 
Stroking her back, they stood there for a while. 
Margaret pulled herself from the hug and stared at her father with soggy eyes.
Seeing her in such a helpless state, he kissed her forehead, "Let's go...", he smiled gently.

"Never leave me father... Okay?" she whispered, enough for both to hear.
He smiled.
"Yes, my daughter."

Updates- 1 or 2 chapters per week as I need to build a strong background and a list of characters.
Eventually, I'll be updating more chapters once the story-line becomes strong. ^_^

This is my first novel. So you can expect frequent edits in the first few chapters.
