Chapter Text
At the Fryar Mansion:
"Daddy, I want to go to the Scarlet Dawn Academy tomorrow."
Guinevere was talking to her father, the school head of Mauve Lotus Academy.
"Of course I will let you, I will assign two hundred soldiers to protect you from harm."
"But daddy, I can do this on my own! My performance at school outshines others and I also praised by the teachers on how good I am. They think that they don't need to teach me anymore." Guin puffed her cheeks, her dad sweat drops.
"My darling, I won't let you go on your own. There are demons lurking around, maybe they will get you, I wouldn't want that to happen!"
"Dad, it's not that far, its just a town away from here so I'll be fine, just give me a carriage." Guinevere said.
Her dad hesitated for a long time before he nodded. "I'll let you go on your own, but be sure to avoid danger at all cost. Please rest so tomorrow you have enough energy for your trip."
"Thanks dad!" Guin kisses his dad on the cheek and goes to her room. She was requested by her dad to see how Harley is doing so she peek inside of his room just to see him sleeping soundly before she went inside her room.
"I need to see how Kagura improve these past few weeks. I will not lose to that umbrella maiden ever! I heard that someone in that academy wants to challenge my rival so it is my chance to see her improvement... I heard rumors about her being with Gusion, it makes me want to go deeper into that issue. All I do is to find the truth there. I bet she had feelings also for Gusion... now I'm mad!" Guin was talking to herself with mixed expression. She was punching her pillows intensely.
She was right, to make sure it was true she has to look for the truth. She rested her head on the pillow and close her eyes. "Tomorrow is another day. Another day, another mission to accomplish." Then, she goes into the dreamland.
At the dark vast room, Guin was standing without any idea where she is. "What is this? I can't see anything!" She shouted.
But no one answered. She was confused, she tried to run but it looks like it'll last forever. She didn't see the exit nor a light just to see where she is.
"Anyone? What is this place!" She said. Her hands and knees shaking when the temperature drops suddenly. "I-I don't want to stay here! Help!"
Over and over she screams until a golden light flickers not far from her. The light illuminates around a certain shoulder length black and white haired lady standing with eyes closed. Her delicate frame moves smoothly as she goes near at Guin. Guinevere looks closely at the illuminated lady and stares at her absentmindedly. She haven't seen such a face like that in the Western land, the lady was more of like a beauty from another realm. She can't stop gazing at her.
"Who is she?"
The mouth of the lady moves which makes Guin surprise. "Your dream... tells more about your situation and fate." A gentle voice came from the lady.
"M-mine? It doesn't look like it is. I don't have any problems from my family and even at myself! I have lots of achievements and people praises me for being smart and beautiful lady in my generation and obviously have a bright future waiting for me." Guinevere explain.
"I don't want to offend you miss. I just wanted to meet you." The lady said.
Guin's eyebrow raised. "Uhuh? So you're here because?"
The lady answered. "I want to meet you. Now that I met you, let's meet again next time."
"What?! What am I? Your playmate?!" Guin raised questions.
"Please, let us meet... in reality."
The light goes dimmer until the lady disappears. That's when she see another place and realized that she was in her bedroom.
"Was that a dream? Who is she? Why does she wanted to meet me of all people? Oh well, dreams aren't true, that lady just disturbed my sleep." She left a big yawn before going back to sleep.
Early morning, a glamorous carriage has arrived. Guinevere saw this and frowns. "Why does dad chose a flashy carriage? I just want a normal carriage!"
"Don't ever think it was yours, I'm the one who will ride that carriage, yours was there behind, feeler! Bleeeeh!" Harley stick his tongue at her. This only makes her infuriated.
"Well that's GREAT then! I don't need that anyway." Guin harrumphs, arms folded while looking at the laughing Harley.
Harley's carriage went away, she also goes inside the carriage which was not that glamorous. Guinevere looks agitated even if she is still in the carriage. To calm herself up, she looks at the tall trees outside the window. She has a lot to think now.
"That dream is still clear in my mind, I don't know why..." She wonders.
