Day 1:
She was excited, it was her first day at the school. She woke up at 5 in the morning, thinking that yes finally I will have a normal life. She put on the Seika High uniform, she knew it was a normal school of the neighborhood. She was prepared because she knew she has to keep her real identity hidden, it will be a real trouble if anyone knew who she was. Here she was just Misaki Ayuzawa (she had to change her name), a transfer student from England. She chose this school randomly, she didn't want to go to fancy schools, it was a risk that her identity might be discovered faster there. As she was having her breakfast she remembered about her life before this day, and she was so happy that her grandfather agreed to everything she asked for.
Flashback:
They never let her go to school and enjoy the normal life, now she was a teenager with vast knowledge and skills because of the special attention and the specialization through which she was taught. But she was like a bird in a golden cage, she could ask for anything in this world, and it would be in front of her eyes in a second. It's not like her grandfather, The Duke didn't love her. But she was just too precious to be lost again, so he kept her always in front of his eyes. The way she played when she was young reminded him of his late son, She truly looked like her parents. Beautiful features as her mother, and those rare amber eyes and raven hair, exactly like his son. He could not believe that those noble souls were no longer in this world.
Her parents died in a plane crash when she was 5 years old, they were returning to England, after a family vacation from Japan. Her parents died saving her, she still remembers in pieces how her parents said "I love you" to her for the last time before she slipped away in an unconscious state. The next moment she opened her eyes, she could not see her parents, the only person in front of her was her grandfather and their butler Cedric. And when she realized that she was asleep for 3 long years, she just could not believe this reality. But somehow she tried to go on, thinking that maybe that's what would have made her parents proud.
But for the world she was hidden, nobody knew if she survived that accident or not. Her grandfather suspected that the crash was pre-planned, and someone who wants to destroy their family name is still walking around. He couldn't risk it, losing his precious granddaughter too, so he concealed her identity into the unknown, and for the world, her existence was a mystery. She was sent to Japan to live in their ancestral home, the same place where her mother grew up and where she was also born.
Her days were so monotonous, and slowly she began hating the walls of the castle. It was like she was trapped in those walls with the memories of her parents. She just wanted to escape. But she knew how her grandfather cried sometimes when he looked at their family photo in his study, she knew because she caught him doing that a couple of times. Everyone knew she grew up way too fast, and that her childlike innocence was lost somewhere when she woke up after 3 years of coma. But everyone acted normally around her, trying to cheer her up in any way they could. Everyone knew all she could be feeling, yet they remained silent to not let have any idea.
But her home tutor Maria Miyazono knew about it all, and so when she used to come to the castle sometimes, she used to tell her about the school and everything. She had an affection toward the young girl, and she wished for her to break free from the walls of the palace. But even she stopped coming to the palace after her lessons finished.
The young princess of the castle after huge arguments with herself in her mind for a long period of time decided that she needs this monotonous life to stop. She gathered all her courage and called her grandfather, the Duke, to tell him she wants to live her own life. She spoke for half an hour before allowing him to speak, she was venting, pleading and crying. To her surprise, he just listened to her all the time before he could say anything.
Then with a deep breathe he said, "I know how you feel, but I just wanted to protect you. But maybe I decided some wrong things on my own, I forgot that how will you feel about this all. I am just not prepared to send you out in the world when I know someone out there is just thirsty for your blood. He is just waiting for you to make a presence so that he can do what he wants the most. But I also know that I can't stop you now, but promise me that if anything happens you will tell me first. I will Cedric to keep a check on you, and make arrangements so that you can start a normal high school life, just don't attract too much attention."
Now:
And after that, it took one month for Cedric to prepare everything, and finally, she was going to her first school in a long time. She was greeted by Cedric at her apartment door. He asked her to allow him to accompany her for the first day of her school. She allowed because he was always nice to her. It was her first time seeing the outside world. He stopped the car at some distance from Seika. And then they walked toward the school. Everyone was staring at him, he was too well dressed in his suit, not a normal sight of Seika students. He stopped at the entrance and said all the best to her. She enters her class 2-1, and everyone keeps staring at her as the teacher introduces her to her new classmates.
And thus begins a new chapter in the life of Misaki Ayuzawa.
