The sun shines brightly and beautiful that even the flock of birds flying to the sky enjoying the heat of the sun.

In a city, where the famous Baroque family resides in, a young girl walking outside the manor.

Going in a field of a various flowers, she's wearing a violet dress with a plant cutter in her hand.

She may be a noble princess but that didn't stop her to do some chores in her home.

Watering the plants, touching the flowers and smelling the scents of nature was used to be one of the hobbies of the Baroque matriarch. But after she passed away, her daughter has taken over on caring their garden.

And this young girl's name is Guinevere, the second child of the Baroque Duke dome.

--

She was cutting the dead parts in a stock of flowers when there is a sudden noise on the bush. She immediately stop her work and pose in an offensive stance.

"who's there?!"the girl shouts frightened at the thought of an intruder.

As she warily observe her surroundings, a boy no older than her comes out.

Earlier that day...

Some leaders of the noble families has gathered up. But because the head of the Baroque was the one who set up the meeting, so therefore the noble families's assembling place is at the Baroque residents.

As the leaders are currently having a discussion about noble politics. There is a boy standing beside a window facing the back of a chair that his father occupying it.

Usually the oldest of the Paxley brothers was the one his father brings with him in this kind of occasions.

But because the head of the Paxley thinks his youngest son has been slacking off and only thinks about playing around. So the head of the Paxley thinks he should bring him instead.

After a while..

The kid yawns because of boredom.

He is supposed to listen at their discussion, for him to learn as a noble but because this things doesn't interest him.

So he just simply left the room unnoticed by his father.

He thinks those things doesn't interest him.

He got bored so he roams around the mansion.

He wanted to find a quiet place where he could sit and relax.

After a few minutes of wandering around, he finally found a peaceful place and it's a garden that full of scented stock flowers that most of them are color violet.

He walked further in the garden and found a fountain.

From where he stand, he can see a mesmerizing view of a flower garden that it seems like, it is full of tales and love in taking care of it.

It is so fascinating that he can't help but to stay there and enjoy the sight.

He was about to sat on the lush greeny lawn when he heard a sound of cutting.

He tried to looked around and found a girl in a violet dress cutting down the flowers.

'Is she a Baroque? I thought the Baroque family only has a son? How come I didn't see her whenever there's an ocassion for nobles?... Well I guess, it's because I don't pay much attention on other people'. he thought.

He is about to leave to find another place, when he accidentaly step on a rock that it cause him to lose his balance.

He slipped and fall on his butt. The impact of his body falling, making contact with the ground has made a noise, loud enough for the girl to hear.

'ouch!' the boy rubbed his butt from the pain

"who's there?!" the girl shouts, aware that there's someone hiding.

'oops'

'What am I going to do? ...' The boy steps out of his hiding place.

"sorry I didn't mean to scare you. I'm just trying to find a place that is quiet and I got here" the boy responded.

The girl calms down when she saw its just a boy "it's okay" she replied and turn back on what she was previously doing.

"so umm what are you doing?" the boy said, waiting for her to reply but the girl didn't say anything. And she just simply continue on cutting the flowers.

"I'm sorry if I'm just a bother, I'll.. just leave" the boy said and was about to walk away when she called out to him.

"ah w-wait!" the boy stop on his tracks and turns around

"Y-you're not a bother at all, I'm.. just not used on being with strangers so p-please stay aand as for the 'what I'm doing' I am cutting off the dead flowers so the flowering won't stop" the girl said shyly with a flustered face

The boy smiled at the girl's behavior and said "Then let me introduce myself so I will not be a stranger to you."

He vows and politely introduce himself. "The good looking boy standing infront of you is the fourth son of the Paxley family named Gusion Paxley but just call me Gusion, so nice to meet you!" the boy identified as Gusion said with a smile.

A moment passed and she still didn't reply. Gusion's smile turns into a frown.

'sigh' "okay I get it, names are not enough for you. 'I guess you can't just trust a stranger just by giving names'. It's okay you don't have to tell me your name yet but I still need one to call you and I can't just refer you as 'you' or 'hey' because that's kinda rude"said Gusion still on thought on what to call her.

"ah I know it! Why don't I just call you Ms. Violet, is it okay for you? I'll call you that because your beautiful dress is color violet as well as almost all the flowers here are violet and I'm certain that you are the one who plants them. So I assume you like violets, am I right?"Gusion said proudly at his own observation

The girl giggled at him and said "you are quite correct Mr. Paxley, however it was not me but my mom who plants this flowers. It's just...ever since she died I've been the one who continues to takes care of this garden and I've just started to like violets because my mother used to dress me in violet dresses, so I grew liking the color violet...and yes you can call me Violet if that's what you want"said Guinevere smilling at him

.

.

Hours have passed and the assembly has ended... And the two noble children that have met recently is giving their farewells to each other.

All they've done this past hours is just play or sometimes talk about each other and they found out that they both have similarities in likes and dislikes.

They both really enjoyed each others companies that they didn't notice the sun is already down.

"oh it's already late, guess I have to go."

"What? You are leaving already?" Guinevere asked with a sad expression

"yes, the meeting has already ended and I think they are searching for me now"

"But if you go we won't see each other again"

"no, we will"

"but how? You are a Paxley and they can't just let you leave your house just to meet me and the only times we can leave our home is when there is a assembly meetings or ocassions and sometimes I'm not allowed to attend the festivals or events that will occur in the capital" her face got saddened.

"Don't worry I have my ways" said Gusion reassuring the girl.

He took her hand and kissed the back of her hand as a sign of respect and said "so see you soon Ms. Violet"

The girl in violet dress smiled at this and said "see you soon too, sword boy" Gusion smirks at her as he let go of her hand and left.

Weeks has passed, the Paxley boy and the Baroque girl have been meeting each other in secret. They either meet in the garden 'where they've met' or in Guinevere's chamber because the boy seems to like to sneak in.

And he always manage to slip through the knight guards without getting caught. But even if he moves stealthily and fast, it was still dangerous. So the girl insisted that they would just meet anywhere outside the Baroque manor.

They've become closer and it comes to the point that they both study together. Even though they're still young and doesn't go to the academy but because they are from a nobled clan and their families has a high hopes for them.

.

.

They are currently in a place outside the mansion where people in the Baroque doesn't usually visits it.

Its well hidden that its a perfect place for them to study and train. Guinevere found it when she was just four.

It is when she was just trying to find her mother but because the Baroque resident's vast area, she lost her way and found herself in a beautiful hidden place.

They said it is an old resting place of the Baroque's ancestors.

And it is near of an old horse's stable that its already surrounded by big tree roots and mosses.

"you know, I want to create my own magic skill" said Guinevere

"well that's good, but why?" ask Gusion curious at why she wants to create her own skill because inventing new magic skills are kinda hard.

"I want to impress my brother because I've always admire him for his amazing skills and I want him to be proud of me. I also want to show my family that I'm not a weak girl but a strong beautiful woman like my mother" said Guinevere with a determination in her eyes.

Gusion stares at her in admiration but was shortly interrupted when his stomach growled. 'oops' Gusion blushed in embarrassment "sorry for that, I sort of didn't eat breakfast before going here"explained Gusion.

"And why is that Mr. Paxley?" ask Guinevere thinking of 'why wouldn't eat breakfast when he knows that were going to study not to a party '

"well I want to see you so badly so I didn't have time to think of eating breakfast" Guinevere blushed at his answer to her but shrugged it after and replied "we just didn't met for two days because you said your family has an important place to go and that you need to attend but you already miss me? You silly sword boy"

Guinevere rolled her eyes from Gusion's smirk thinking that he's just teasing her or it's just his way to hide his own embarrassment.

Guinevere just stand up from a sitting position and said "well enough of that, follow me to the kitchen. We're gonna find some food because I am also hungry, hungry from being tired at your teasing".

"what? We'll get caught"

"don't worry, there's no much maids and butlers this weekend because it's their off" Gusion was about to protest again but he was cut off

"if you're talking about father, he left the mansion earlier with a man talking about going on an important business and my brother is in his room because he has fever". Guinevere replied to him

"okay" said Gusion and didn't reply anymore.

As they were in the kitchen, trying to sneak to get some food. There's no cooked foods but they found a brownies at the cabinet and they are currently eating the brownies when someone opens the door. This stop the two kids from eating and turn their heads at the door with nervous looks.

And there, at the door, a maid standing with a surprised face. She was just ordered to take care of the family head's son because he has a fever and was about to get some porridge when she heard a faint sound.

Curiosity sinks in as she follow the muffled sound into the kitchen. She opens the door and there, she saw her young masters sneakily eating.

"What are you doin here? If you're hungry you should have called me instead of sneaking here and eat the brownies"

"What? Y-you're not angry?" asked Guinevere in nervous tone.

"huh why would I be angry at my cute little masters" the maid giggled.

"Then you won't gonna tell father?"

"Of course not and besides it is a good thing you found a new friend that you'll be studying or playing with, because I'm getting worried that you'll be alone and I can't be much of a help for you in your studies because I'm simply just a maid." the maid said with a smile to the young lady.

"no that's not true, you're always the one who takes care of us especially me. When mom died, you are always there for me. You... helped me maintain my sanity from loosing it."

Guinevere always shows her fiery passion and happy go lucky side so it's a first for Gusion to see her get sad.

Before the atmosphere gets more complicated and uncomfortable. The maid clapped her hands and said "okay! Young masters, what do you want to eat? I know you guys are now hungry but please bear for the wait."

"Then I want some delicious sweet guimauve and any kind of refreshment drinks"Guinevere replies with a craving face for sweets.

"Guimauve? Why guimauve, aren't you hungry? Sweets won't be much of a fill for your stomach."stated the maid.

"but I really want some"whinned Guinevere with a pout.

"alright, alright I will make some". "then how about you sir Gusion Paxley, the young son of the Paxley house?"asked the maid with a tease.

"well, just same as her and I'd rather you call me Gusion. Don't include the surname" he indicated with a scowl on his face.

"understood, sirr.. Gusion, guimauve it is then" said the maid and vows. The two left the kitchen and went to the dining room waiting for their food to come.

After the maid delivered her young master's food, she made some porridge to feed her sick master. She made her way to the chamber of the mentioned ill son of the Baroque.

She knocks on the door "young lord Lancelot, are you still awake? Your porridge is here" she heard a reply for her to come in.

"sorry I'm a bit late" she apologizes but Lancelot disregarded it

"no your about on time actually because I've just finished reading the second volume of some story" he turn his gaze towards the maid.

"oh is that so, then what are you reading sir?" she asked her master.

"nothing, just something ridiculous story about a protagonist that is trying to change the rotten world with peace and love, how absurd" he put aside the book and reached out his hand to take the food from the table beside his bed.

"hmm, you call it absurd but you've already finished the second volume though" she giggled at her young lord's antics.

"it's because I am bored, being bedridden for 3 days is making me feel like rock and that if I wont move or do anything I will turn into a stone." he argued but the maid just smiled.

Lancelot has no choice but to change the topic.

"By the way, Guinevere's been so ecstatic this days. I wonder what's the cause, did she some kind.. learn a magic skill? What do you think?" the maid stiffened from the question.

Sir Lancelot is asking her and she didn't want to lie but she also didn't want to betray Lady Guinevere.

"Well she did learned some basics of magic" It is not a lie but it's not a whole truth either. It's a 'white lie' is what they called.

Guinevere really learned some of the basics of magic but it is not reason why she's so full energetic this days. It is some kind of a boy is causing it.
