The Count frowned. He never thought that, her daughter who only has her eyes on jewelries, suddenly had given interest to someone, and not to something.

The Count sighed inwardly. Indeed, her daughter is starting to grow up, but he still can't afford to see her daughter with a man, he needed to make sure that, the man, she's going to marry is a good man, who will cherish and love her, and the Count can't see those qualities in Prince Adelar, there were countless rumors, running around the kingdom of Agriam, the Prince, he fell in love with a commoner, he was protecting that girl from any harm, he was head over heels for her, she was the future Queen of the Agriam Kingdom and those rumors naturally reached the ears of the Count.

"Lesha, I know that, the girl your age wants to be with the Prince, indeed, he was handsome, but remember, he is a ruthless man, he never cared about anyone, except the kingdom and that girl. He has already someone in his heart, and love can't be forced, why don't I introduce you to other young nobles out there, I know couple of noble man who has a decent personality?"

Victoria can't hide her frown so she looked down and faced the floor instead, love, something that is really unfamiliar to her, she doesn't know why her "father", the Count, brought up that topic.

Victoria tried to recall what she said to the Count but still, she can't figure out why the Count thought that she's in love with the Prince.

Count Williams just stared at her daughter, which is currently looking down.

The Count felt sad looking at her disheartened precious daughter. He knew that if he was to give in to her daughter's request, her daughter would be happy, but that is just momentary happiness, once she knew that, the Prince will never look at her, she will be more disheartened.

It's not as if, he doesn't have any connection with the current King, in fact, he was a close friend of the King, and if he was to request for the King to let his son to be his daughter's husband, he would certainly accept it, since the Campbell family saved the Prince's life once, and that's a huge favor.

The Count never wanted to use that favor, since he knew, her daughter did it because she wanted to do it, and not because she was aiming for a reward.

To use it or to not use it? The Count can't pick between those two.

But he was a father, he wanted to give everything her daughter wanted, be it someone or something. She's the only remaining family he had, so he can't help but spoil his daughter a bit more.

"I-I will do what I can, I will make sure, he was there on your birthday."

Victoria has been wracking her brains on how to answer his father's words. When she heard his talk.

Confused yet she brushed it off. She smiled brightly at her father and hugged him, just how the original Lesha would act.

"Thank you Father! You're the best!"

Count William smiled at Lesha. "As long as you're happy, but always remember, I will always be here, no matter what happens. You can go to your room now and rest, the servants will call you when the dinner's ready."

Victoria nod at her father and walked out of the room with a smile.

Just as she was walking, she saw his Uncle Piedro, the one who instigated the assassination of his father one year from now.

The original owner of this body really hated her Uncle Piedro, though his Uncle Piedro never showed his true colors, she have always felt weird vibes surrounding his Uncle, she always trusted her instincts, so she tried observing her Uncle, so she was able to find out what ticks her off, but unfortunately, she wasn't able to warn her father. Her final judgment was far too late, her father was already on his journey to buy her gifts in the neighboring kingdom, and at that very same day, her father was "ambushed by bandits"

"Well hello there, my favorite niece."

Victoria wanted to vomit just by looking at her Uncle's two faced personality.

Victoria wondered, they had same face but different personality, she wondered how her Uncle turned out that way. She thought twins were supposed to be close, just like how the twins in the orphanage act in her past life.

"Of course, I am your favorite niece Uncle, I am your one and only niece after all. I need to go now, I am tired Uncle, so allow me to go first."

Victoria lightly bowed out of courtesy and walked away, not waiting for his Uncle's response.
