An Awakened Legendary Mercenary Becomes The Missing Royal Daughter But She Is Found By A Prince...

this Story begins at the estate of the Grand Duke of Krypton some girl knocked on the door saying she was coming in as she entered she introduced herself as Mirabel a private mercenary and said that she was willing to offer her services to the Duke the Duke sitting in despair said that mirabel's Fame precedes her and he has heard that she does not tolerate failure on missions although he had also heard that she didn't usually take orders like this and he handed her a picture of his daughter Cornelia and told told her that it was very important to him and he was asking for her help Mirabel was very much surprised at such a task apparently the Duke really didn't know anything Mirabel hadn't heard that name in years after Cornelia ran away from home in Pursuit Of Love she often apologized by sending letters to her family even during her severe illness she wrote to them but there was no reply soon she passed away was it after that that he decided to find her Mirabel was infuriated by this fact and she wondered if he was even going to look for her the Duke asked in puzzlement what Mirabel was talking about and wondered why he never answered the letters but the Duke was not aware that Cornelia had sent any letters then Mirabel said she was sorry and that Cornelia Krypton was dead she had been sending letters for years asking for forgiveness and had died without ever receiving a reply Duke didn't believe it at first he didn't understand how she could be dead at that moment a mysterious man entered the room and said that they had finally met but the Duke knew the man and asked what he was doing here his name was Daniel Daniel lit a cigarette and said that he believed the Duke had not yet gotten to know Mirabel properly as he started to walk toward them he told the Duke that he had a granddaughter and offered to take her in but the Duke could not believe his ears Mirabel became very anxious wanting to know who the man was he smiled adjusted his hat and said that he was mirabel's great uncle then he asked where they were and whether Mirabel had told the Duke about the letters from Cornelia Mirabel was greatly angered by the fact that the man knew about the letters and she wanted to know how he had gotten that information the man was amused by this he said he was intercepting them just to make sure his brother wouldn't forgive her or it would ruin his plan then Mirabel realized that the Duke wasn't ignoring the letters from her mother he just wasn't receiving them Duke became very angry clenching his fists he wondered why his brother was only telling him about this now no matter what his reason was he still wouldn't forgive him then Daniel drew his sword and said he was going to take her out of her life but Mirabel wasn't about to give up she Drew her dagger and was ready to fight back Daniel was amused by that fact he said she shouldn't fight back and it would be best if she just accepted her fate so it might be easier for her Duke didn't want her to fight for him and told her to run away immediately Mirabel wondered if the Duke loved her mother and she asked him about it to which he said that she was everything to him and he never held a grudge against her Mirabel had enough of those words to stay and protect the Duke but this time she failed and was impaled with a sword at that moment bleeding she realized that this was her end and she would never be able to avenge her mother bleeding her body grew heavier and heavier as if she were drowning she had never been afraid of death but she was very much afraid of not avenging her mom in her last breath she dreamed of one more chance how suddenly after a moment she wakes up in the room and when she opens her eyes she sees her mom she couldn't understand what was happening but she immediately rushed to hugg her saying that she missed her very much her mother confused asked if she had had a nightmare because she didn't understand what had happened Mirabel cried with happiness everything was so familiar to her but something was wrong when she looked at her hands first she realized that they were too small and something was wrong suspecting something wrong she went to the mirror and looked in it when she saw herself as a little girl she was shocked she asked her mom how old she was mom was a little confused because Mirabel had just turned 9 years old old yesterday she was a little confused so she went to breakfast while she ate she pondered everything that had happened she was pretty sure she was dead but for some unknown reason she had returned to the body of her 9-year-old selfelf when her mom was still alive she wanted to know who had brought her back to the past but the most important thing was that she had been given another chance and this time she had to find a cure for her mother because she was only a few months away from her death in a past life she had to watch her mom die and there was nothing she could do but this time it was going to be different but she was also even more eager to avenge her mother but now her goal had changed when the Duke asked her to find his daughter he meant it she realized that that man had deceived all three of them and he was the reason everyone was victimized she decides it's time for revenge and to change her future but right now the main goal in her life is to cure her mom and after that do justice to Daniel but that meant she had to meet the Duke and then a plan occurred to her she asked her mother if she was busy today when her mom said she wanted to stay home Mirabelle asked about her grandfather and asked to meet him today mom got very upset and turned to Mirabel and said she thought it was impossible because once long ago she had done something he could never forgive her for Mirabel realized that her mother would not help her and and she had to go It Alone she had a schedule of Caravans traveling to the capital all she had to do was slip in unnoticed but after her mom died she had to live on the street begging and avoiding other homeless people so it wasn't that hard to get around unnoticed noticing a caravan coming she quickly jumped in throwing a white cloth over herself in hopes that she couldn't be spotted security was watching the Caravan couldn't find anyone there Mirabel immediately re rejoiced but suddenly she noticed a strange rustling and realized that someone else was there it was a blond-haired boy but she recognized him but didn't give him any sign she asked what he was doing here and asked him to introduce himself he smiled and said his name was Jeffrey Coleman he was the most famous mercenary on the continent they said the unit he founded was on the level of the order of Ryan a unit of Royal Knights plus because of his influence he was able to obtain the title of mercenary King he was also not only strong but also cared for others and was renowned for his reliability Mirabel remembered that when she had been a mercenary he had wanted her to join his Squad very badly then the guy wanted to know the girl's name so she introduced herself as Mirabel hail it was the name her parents had given her and it suited her perfectly the guy liked her name a lot and asked her why she was hiding in the Caravan but it was the same question she wanted to ask him the future king of mercenaries and then she said she had to go to the capital but the family had no free carriage and asked what the lad was doing here Jeffrey said he was being chased by the guards and needed a place to hide Mirabel was surprised and asked how such a small boy could be chased by guards Jeffrey got angry and said that he had noticed that Mirabel was clearly younger than he was then she realized that he was 2 years older than she was and she had completely forgotten that she wasn't 26 anymore and she apologized to him for her words then Jeffrey said that he had actually killed someone and began to tell a story about a man named Gman from Sharon Manor he said his parents had borrowed money from him but they could not pay it back causing him to beat them to death and Jeffrey told the guards asking for help but they blamed him and his parents saying he shouldn't have borrowed the money in the first place but the guards immediately reported to gimon that Jeffrey had complained to them then he was Furious for he took pity on his little asterisk asterisk asterisk and that's how he repaid him so he decided to send the boy to his parents but Jeffrey said he took matters into his own hands and was able to handle it Mirabel apologized thinking it was a sore subject for him but he said it was okay because he had his revenge and then Jeffrey asked what Mirabel was going to the capital for she told him that she wanted to meet her mother's father that is her grandfather Jeffrey asked if her mom knew about it but Mirabel proudly mentioned that she hadn't even asked permission Jeffrey upon hearing this became worried saying that she should come back immediately because she had no idea how worried her mom would be Mirabel knew that but she couldn't afford to lose her a second time she couldn't just let her go so she was sure of her actions she told Jeffrey that it was very important to her and that she would stay he said if you are so important to her then it's no big deal well asked her to be careful and get to the capital in one piece and she was relieved that he was worried about her she patted him on the head thanking him for his understanding at that moment Jeffrey grimaced at the pain in his stomach and fell to the floor Mirabel realized that he was hungry and probably had been hungry all along she had some food but she wanted to save it for the road but since Jeffrey was so bad she gave it to him before he took it he was worried about what Mirabel would eat but she said had taken three more of them he shouldn't worry and had better eat as soon as possible there was a long journey ahead if the future didn't change Jeffrey was going to be a successful mercenary but that meant he wouldn't sleep at night and would starve so she was glad he could eat and sleep now it was a very powerful thing for Jeffrey to do for they had never done such a thing for him before he let out a little tear and said he would definitely pay for those potatoes Mirabel reassured him by saying that it was just potatoes not to worry too much but Jeffrey said that his parents had had to borrow money from gon because he was always complaining about hunger and so he no longer wanted to go into debt for food even if it cost him his life he took mirabel's hand and said he would have starved to death if it hadn't been for her she smiled sweetly and said she hoped he would repay her double in the future 3 days later they finally reached the capital Jeffrey helped Mirabel down from the Caravan and they were off and running in no time when they had run far enough away it was time to part ways Jeffrey thanked her for everything and asked her to promise him that she would come home after she met her grandfather because her mother would probably be worried by now Mirabel smiled and said it was about Jeffrey too and told him to take care of himself hoping they would meet again someday almost breaking up already Jeffrey turned around and yelled out that he would really pay her for the potatoes and told her to wait she smiled and told him not to forget the rest of the potatoes she had shared with him Mirabel didn't know where or how but she was sure she would meet him again but that meant I absolutely had to do what she had come to do as she approached the palace guard she apologized to him and asked to see Grand Duke kitton he was surprised that an ordinary girl dared such an act he knew it was pointless to ask but he asked what Noble House the people were from Mirabel answered him that the peoples came from an ordinary family but she needed to meet him very badly but the guard hastened to disappoint her saying that his lordship was very busy with Affairs of State they needed to arrange an appointment in advance Suddenly at the same moment the Duke came up from behind and asked if there was any trouble Mirabel recognized his voice immediately the guard immediately explained that this child wanted to meet the Duke and he was just about to escort her back the Duke thanked the guards for a good job and started to leave as Mirabel suddenly realized that he had no choice and no time at all she shouted back that her mother's name was Cornelia kryon and she needed help the exasperated Duke returned to the girl and asked if she knew whose name she had just spoken Mirabel replied that she knew she was the Duke's missing daughter and told him that her mother had told her everything and they could meet if he wanted shouted that she lived in the village of Delia and offered the Duke to get there in 3 days by wagon but Mirabel said they had to hurry for her mother was now very ill and asked the Duke to help her Mirabel cried hard she was sure she would never cry again but the thought that her mother might die shocked her she was ready to kneel but the Duke leaned over to her and said he would not keep her waiting he told the guards that he wanted to know if the girl was telling the truth and asked to change his schedule looking at Mirabel he asked her if she was tired and suggested they go and rest saying they would go to the Village as soon as they finished cooking what at dinner the Duke told the girl that he might seem insincere for he didn't even know where his daughter was now but like any father he wanted his children to be happy and he's sure that's what mirabel's Mom is praying for right now Mirabel was growing increasingly uncomfortable with the fact that she was now sitting and enjoying a Sumptuous meal while her ailing mother but as she looked at the Duke's face she realized that he still didn't seem to believe her but that was understandable since there had been a number of people recently claiming to know where his missing daughter was and each such false visit tore his heart apart and he was no longer able to trust people but she noticed the sincerity in his words even though her mother gave up the Duke in his house to be with her father the Duke still prays for her happiness so she decided he was right and her mother wouldn't want her to come home hungry and sick so she decided to eat having finished their lunch they were informed that the carriage was ready and they both set off on the way home Mirabel was surprised to find that the Grand Duke was much Kinder than she had thought and that even though he did not believe that Cornelia was her mother he still decided to join the girl on the journey to her Village she had hated him all her life for not helping an abandoning her mother but looking at him now she realized that hatred was gone and even felt a little sorry for him after all he had longed for her all his life and finally died the same day he learned of her death when night fell they decided to stop and build a fire and the Duke said that he would be very happy if she really turned out to be his granddaughter but he understood perfectly well that the girl had overheard the name somewhere and decided to use it but he said he didn't blame her and that he knew it all along but he felt her desperation and her sincere desire to help her mother but it was just Cornelia and her very name that hurt his heart year after year and that none of this would have happened if he had listen to her then and he had no one else to blame but himself and his greed even though Duke Ron didn't give details Mirabel still understood what it was about for her mother was engaged to the current Emperor James bazit Castro however she fell in love with her personal guard Gail Houston and wished to anull her engagement to the emperor in order to Mary Gail but her wish was not supported by anyone and despairing she ran away with her lover but unfortunately mirabel's father died in a battle with demons in the forest and her mother raised her alone she knew that if it hadn't been for Daniel's plot her mother's letters would have reached the Grand Duke when she saw that the Duke wasn't feeling well she took his hand comforting him then he told her not to worry and thanked her and that even if it turned out that her mother was not Cornelia he would be happy to help their family Mirabel wanted very badly to tell him that he was wrong and she was the one he had been looking for all these years and he would soon be able to see her but she couldn't do it at last they reached the house it was a badly ruined building and the Duke was surprised that the girl and her sick mother lived alone in the house when Mirabel entered the house she shouted to her mom that she was back and then rushed to hug her mommy cried hard and asked if Mirabel could imagine how worried she was started asking her if she was okay and if she had hurt herself on something she said she was fine no need to worry suddenly the Duke saw her and dropped his Cane he couldn't believe his eyes it was really his daughter they both started crying they were glad to see each other the Duke couldn't believe that after all these years he had finally found his child Cornelia was sorry and she began to apologize to her father for her actions then the Duke asked why she was here alone and where Gail had gone and Cornelia told him that he had died four years ago defending the Village from demons the Duke clutched his head he was ashamed that his daughter had suffered so long alone and in such a place he asked if it was true that she was very ill for Mirabel had told him so she replied that she was very ill which made him angry and he asked why she had not come to see him then Mirabel got up from the table and said that her mother wanted very badly for the Duke to forgive her and she had written many many letters but had never gotten any answers and so she thought he was still resentful of her and couldn't come Duke felt sorry for her he said he had never received any letters and had no idea she had written to him he said they had much more to discuss but it would be better to return to the manor first she thanked him and said she would pack her things now she thanked him and said she would pack her things once outside her mother called Mirabel to her and asked her why she had brought her grandfather father here she was very pleased that she was worried about her she was proud that she had raised a brave little girl and apologized to her for having to take on such a burden she asked her not to do anything so dangerous next time because she had a duty of care to her Mirabel apologized and said she understood carrying the things into the carriage the Duke asked Cornelia why she did not give them to the footman to which she said that they were Gail's things and she wished to carry them herself and they were not so heavy Duke nodded and said that if that was what she wanted to do let her do it Cornelia wanted her daughter to get close to her grandfather so she asked to hold his hand and Mirabel addressed him as your ladyship much to cornelia's dismay for she was still your ladyship to him not grandfather sitting in the carriage the Duke thanked Mirabel for what she had done if it hadn't been for her he would never have found Cornelia Mirabel replied to him that she didn't deserve it and that if it weren't for his kindness it wouldn't have happened for from the very beginning the Grand Duke did not believe her it was his kindness to a helpless Christian Child that United them all Mirabel was glad he was able to keep kindness in his heart even after losing his daughter she was sure he deserved better for the next 3 days Cornelia and the Duke told each other stories of what had happened to them over the years about how she loved her husband and how she blamed herself for running away from home for his part the Duke said he'd learned a lot over the years that it was selfishness and greed that drove his decision at the time he regretted it greatly for because of this they had lost each other for many years upon arriving at the Manor Mirabel realized she needed to change the future the Duke would take care of her mother's Illness but she needed to deal with the rest upon their arrival the man did not meet them he asked if what was in the letter was true and that they had been able to find Cornelia he was very happy to find her when he saw her he asked her where she had been all this time and why she had not contacted him because he was very worried she apologized to him but he was glad she was back asking who it was next to her Cornelia said it was her daughter and introduced him to Mirabel as Uncle Brian saying he was the Duke of house kryon he was very happy to meet her and told the girl to call him Uncle from now on then he told her he had a son about mirabel's age and called him here his name was Elliot Krypton after getting to know their cousin they decided to go inside after a long drive to get some rest the Duke leaned over to Mirabel and apologized to her asking if she could stay in cornelia's room tonight for the servants had not yet had time to prepare mirabel's room but the girl replied that she did not mind Mama suggested that Mirabel sing a lullabi Mirabel looked around and thought that maybe she was wrong because there were some nice people living in the Kiton house after a little while the Duke sent his daughter to a Healer asking what was happening to her to which the Healer replied that he would need about 3 months of therapy the Duke was greatly Disturbed and asked after this period a complete cure could be expected whereupon the Healer consoled him saying that there was no need to doubt and after 3 months Cornelia would be fully recovered however the Healer also wanted to examine Miss Mirabel for the the disease was named hazil and was a genetic disease and they could not State whether the disease was passed on to The Offspring then Cornelia asked the Healer to look at Mirabel but Mirabel had no illnesses in her past life taking her hand the Healer was greatly surprised and said that Mirabel showed no signs of illness and that she was on the contrary endowed with the ability to harness divine power then he suggested that she visit their Temple for she had a gift for divine power and could help many people apparently something had changed in Mirabel the night she died nothing like that and she asked if that meant she could cure her mother's illness the Healer smiled and said that her mother's illness was very ancient and complicated but one day after the teachings Mirabel would be able to cure it Mirabel was beginning to wish she had this ability sooner for then she would never have let her mother die so helplessly but since she has this ability she has now decided that she must do her best to learn how to heal people and said that she would definitely visit the temple afterwards they went to dinner and began to discuss their joy that the disease was curable but most of all the Duke was proud of his granddaughter who had gone to the capital and managed to find him despite the danger sitting at the table Mirabel was glad to hear such warm words but it was Elliot's gaze that confused her the most she couldn't understand why he was staring at her so intensely at this point her uncle asked her how she slept to which she said it was fine he asked her to come to him if anything was wrong she was very embarrassed for in her old life Brian was known as The Iron Duke stale and indifferent but worst of all during the demon extermination Expedition she'd seen his eyes thirsty for blood Mirabel continued to be heaped with praise at the table unable to understand how such a little girl was able to make it all the way to the mansion on her own Brian said he wasn't just talking about it because she was his niece although he would love to brag to everyone about what an incredible niece he has then he asked her if it was hard for her to relate to him since she didn't even know she had an uncle it must have been so frightening and unexpected he apologized because even the children in his neighborhood would run away in fear when they saw him he's trying his best to be friendly but apparently it's not working he just said he wanted her to know that he was really trying to be kind Mirabel calmed him down telling him that he had nothing to apologize for and that it wasn't about his face he just needed to work on his emotions they began to worry since Mirabel hadn't eaten anything but she assured them that everything was fine and it would just take time to settle in and get used to everything then Uncle Brian said that if anyone would offend Mirabel she should go to him and learning for that person would be worse than death he assured her then the Duke asked if Mirabel wanted any anything else for he had never had a chance to pamper his dear granddaughter and that he had missed a lot and didn't know where to start so he asked her to tell him what she dreamed of she began to think because her mom's illness would soon pass and it was too soon to tell about Daniel so she thought it would be nice if she could help Jeffrey she realized that he would become a mercenary King on his own but she didn't want that fate for him in this life and decided that if she helped him now he could repay it in the future so she began to tell the Duke that there was a boy she had met on her way to the estate though only briefly but they had grown close over conversation and it seems that he is being stalked so she asked the Duke to help him Duke said he would definitely do it but to do so he would need to know his name or any data that would help him find him she said his name was Jeffrey Coleman he was only 2 years older than she was and that he had silver hair and blue eyes the Duke was surprised that a boy of such a young age was already wanted and thought it was some misunderstanding or Misfortune and promised to look into the matter the Duke also added that he had received a letter from the emperor yesterday and that by some miracle he had heard of cornelia's return and had asked to visit him as soon as possible this was the same Emperor who had suffered a terrible humiliation because of Cornelia and she decided she should pay him a visit Cornelia then proceeded needed to apologize to her own and said she was sorry for the suffering her family had to go through because of her but everyone was only glad she was back safe and sound and said no apology was needed then Brian offered to accompany her on her visit to the emperor but Cornelia rejected his offer saying it should be just between them as soon as Mirabel said she liked the cakes the Duke immediately called the servants and told them to carry more saying that he would give for Mirabel whatever she wished a little later Mirabel sat on her bed glad that she had succeeded and that her mother was alive but if she could go back further in time maybe she could save her father too then her mom suggested that she meet the emperor with her mom said that the truth was she was a little scared even though she had told Brian that everything was fine but with Mirabel with her she would be much more at ease Mirabel was too young to do anything when her father died so she decided that from then on she would do anything to take care of her mom and protect her the next day they arrived at the emperor's house where they received a warm welcome an old acquaintance of Cornelia met them it was an old friend of hers but he was now in command of the royal guard and offered to escort Cornelia saying that his majesty was expecting her when he entered the room where the emperor was standing he said that he was upset about being late and that he was still in that Garden waiting for her both then and now he asked her why she had not visited him at least once but she said that if she had met him in that Garden she would never have been able to see Gail then and that she did not regret her decision the emperor noticed the girl asked Cornelia and if it was her daughter and said that this time the conversation was not for children they should talk in private when her mother asked Mirabel to take a walk outside as she left the room she ran into a boy it was Prince Adrien Castro he asked who she was and told her to be glad he wasn't her hurt she bowed before him and introduced herself as Mirabel the maid leaned toward the boy and said she was the granddaughter of the Grand Duke cheritan then the boy was surprised that house kryon had another child besides Elliot Mirabel apologized again for bumping into him and said she was relieved he wasn't hurt then the guy asked who was in the room with the emperor now Mirabel asked what was wrong and the lad said that the man who had made the empress cry was in that room now and that for her sake he would teach him a lesson realizing how he felt and the temperature is now with his old love outside the door and that this is a nightmare for the empress the boy seeing his mother's tears came running to help she knew the feeling and she was sure he was a good son then she told him that her mother and the emperor were talking outside the room and that she had no intention of upsetting the empress at the same moment Adrien was called by the empress seeing him in front of the emperor's door she was a little upset for she had hoped that she would not find him here leaning over to the children she told Adrien that he would only make life difficult for the emperor and embarrass him Adrien raised his fist in the air and said that he had come here because this man had upset her and he did not forgive such things mom appreciated her son's concern but told him it wasn't necessary and stroked his head she was going to say that she was very very saddened by the fact that but suddenly she noticed that there was another girl standing with Adrien then Mirabel introduced herself and said that she was the daughter of Cornelia kryon and Gail Houston the empress asked the girl if she was waiting for the conversation to end and suggested that she go and have tea with her as it was more fun than just standing at the door they set the table and began to drink tea and eat sweets and then the empress asked Mirabel if she knew that they had been best friends with her mother though she could not say for sure after all she wasn't sure if Cornelia still considered her her friend she was sure that if her mother saw the empress she would definitely but before she could finish her thought Cornelia came up behind her asking Mirabel what she was doing here noticing the empress Cornelia said hello asking how she was doing the angry Empress got up from the table and accused Cornelia of making 8 years of her life a living hell the empress continued saying that the emperor had been waiting for Cornelia all along and she had just vaporized without sending a single word about whether she was alive or not she started crying and added that Cornelia had just vaporized on top of that the boy immediately wanted to rush to hug his mother but Mirabel stopped him realizing that they needed to figure it out for themselves she could see in their eyes that all that anger and sadness were really signs that she was bored and worried after which the empress embraced Cornelia saying that now seeing that she was alive and well she could not help feeling happy then they began to drink tea together noticing the rough hands the empress asked Cornelia what had happened and how she could let it happen Cornelia answered that after Gail's death she had to take over all the work and all this manual labor was reflected in her hands the empress asked why the Grand Duke did not help her since he loved her so much she had written to him several times but for some reason none of the letters had gotten through and after she refused him she felt that she couldn't just pick up and go home thinking that her father would still reason with her for doing so then the empress grabbed cornelia's hand and asked her why she didn't write to her since they were friends Cornelia smiled sweetly and said it would have been too impudent of her listening to all this talk Mirabel realized why her mother and the empress were such good friends Empress Mariana had been secretly in love with the emperor for a long time the day she decided to give him up her mother ran away with her father leaving the emperor alone and annulling the engagement then she decided to appeal to him by taking a seat it was her dream she loved him so much but unfortunately for her Emperor Castro kept waiting and loving her mother it was because of this that they didn't consummate their marriage until two years after their engagement the love she felt for the emperor and the care she had for her mother and the resentment she felt turned into a mixture of terrible misery until Prince hadrien was born then she glanced at Adrien thinking that at least he had been born a good son he noticed this and asked why she was looking at him thinking she didn't like the cookies she answered him that she liked the cookies but they were too sweet for her the boy was surprised by this he could not understand how one could not like sweets Mirabel decided not to continue this topic as he was still a child after finishing their tea party they headed for the exit where the empress told Cornelia to come to the Royal Castle whenever she wanted and that she would make her favorite tea Cornelia smilingly replied that she would not be offended if she came too often the meeting went well and Mirabel also said goodbye to everyone she was pleased to see that her mother's health was improving but it was time for her to get the evidence she needed on Daniel and find out what he was up to as Cornelia sat in the carriage she noticed that Mirabel was thinking about something and decided to ask her if she was well Mirabel said she wanted to ask her something wondering if there was someone else in the grand Duke's family that she had not met yet then cornelus said that there was a great uncle and Father's younger brother Daniel kryon Mirabel looked at the look on her mother's face and decided that her mother didn't suspect Daniel of intercepting the letters she had to prove it somehow just then Mama decided to ask Mirabel for a favor to call Duke kryon grandfather she said he might not show it but she was sure he really wanted Mirabel to call him that after all he was her grandfather she was a little embarrassed but her mother was right he was her mom's dad and her grandfather and she decided to do it for her mom when they arrived at the castle they were immediately met by the grand d Duke who asked how the meeting had gone Cornelia replied that it had gone well and then the Duke asked what they had talked about cornelus said that they had talked about what had happened in the past how they had felt then and His Majesty had been sympathetic so there was no point in the Duke worrying he was very happy and said he could finally relax Cornelia asked her father if she could go rest a little for last year Uncle Daniel had promised to return and until until then she wanted to relax to which the Duke said that there was no problem and she could go rest in peace then Mirabel decided that she should talk to her grandfather alone and asked her mother to go and rest for she had something to ask him her mother was worried but the Duke believed that everything would be all right and soon he would send Mirabel to her he was very interested in what she wanted to talk about they went to the waiting room to have some tea and discuss it all it was the same room in which Mirabel had died when Grandpa started to drink his tea he asked what Mirabel wanted to talk to him about Mirabel asked him if he remembered what she had said about the letters his mother had written him he said he remembered and Mirabel said it said that it was about cornelia's apology then Mirabel said that his mom sent at least two letters a week some of them sent through the merchants Guild and some through mercenaries there must have been at least 20 a year and she decided to to say that none of them had reached her grandfather but then she realized that he was unlikely to believe anything she said especially that his own brother had intercepted all those letters all she had to do now was arouse suspicion then she decided to tell him that she was a little afraid that these letters might have been lost because someone disliked her or her mother the Duke coughed and thought it was strange indeed that so many letters had been lost however he assured Mirabel that she had nothing to worry about and no one in the Mansion wished to harm her or her mother she realized there was no point in telling him her story from the future so she decided to ask him to handle the situation as her granddaughter thanked him for listening and went to rest as she walked down the corridors she began to wonder who else might be Daniel's accomplice it was hard to imagine Brian as his accomplice since he was the heir to house Creon entitled to all the inheritance and wealth there would be be no point in siding with Daniel he would gain nothing from it only lose besides Brian was on good terms with the Duke and it would be more logical to assume that Daniel acted secretly so no one could notice his actions and it is unlikely that he has accomplices here but for now that's just speculation at the same time Daniel entered the building as the butler was taking off his coat he pointed his finger at the girl and didn't ask him who it was well the butler told him it was Cornelia kon's daughter Daniel said he knew Cornelia was back but he didn't know she had a daughter Mirabel was sure he was a liar because he must have known everything from those letters every breath he took was filled with lies when she approached him he told her he was very pleased to meet her and introduced himself as her great uncle asking her to come closer so he could get a closer look at her but Mirabel wouldn't budge then he came up himself thinking she was shy he said he thought thought she should get used to him in time then the butler said it had only been a day since the little lady had arrived at the mansion and that she still needed time to adjust when Daniel asked the girl to tell her name introducing himself as her grandfather's brother Daniel called his name Daniel Creon looking at all this Mirabel noticed that he was smiling like any good-hearted old man and that if it weren't for the situation in the past and the cruelty she had experienced she would have fallen for it he disarms people with his charm and that's probably why no one even suspects him then she decided to pretend to be an innocent child and asked in a shaky voice if you were my great uncle then Daniel said she shouldn't be afraid and Mirabel told him her name he said he was very pleased to meet her and began to reach out to Mirabel but she was very wary of it the mere thought of him touching her instinctively made her pull back then he said that he would take his time to get to know her because now they would see each other much more often and asked her if she had seen her grandfather because he had to meet him when she said she knew where he was he asked her to escort him for it was very important to him then the butler shouted that Lord Daniel seemed to want to get to know the girl better it scared her she didn't know what he was up to and she really didn't want to do it for him but she couldn't refuse and didn't cause tension clenching in her hands she said she would see him off and went straight to the walking down the hall Daniel asked the butler what why is Mirabel acting like this after all he remembers Cornelia as a child and she was always so outgoing maybe she's still getting used to her new surroundings the butler replied that the girl needed more time to feel at home here then having lost her beard Danielle thought she had lived so long as a peasant and now she found herself in a mansion and it would take at least a few months to shake off the peasant sensibility he also remarked that she had a very pleasant face and with proper care she would have many admirers and he was glad that her looks would not interfere with the search for a husband it was hard for Mirabel to hear these outrageous and humiliating things but she had to remain calm for she had to find the traitor who had been intercepting letters on Daniel's orders and win the grand Duke's trust with bran it was the only way she could uncover Daniel's plans get revenge and make him pay for everything he'd done she was sure she had plenty of time nowhere to rush and all she needed to do now was look for subtle hints or clues in his words Daniel continued to ask the butler about various things and then the subject came up of the Marquis of bv's son who must now be about 16 years old he thought that a marriage between their houses would strengthen house Kitt's position among the nobility house Grace would have welcomed Mirabel with open arms just for her beauty but that's why there were so many bad rumors about her he didn't think she was the best candidate for matchmaking he listed various names and surnames and Mirabel grew increasingly disgusted by it she didn't understand how anyone could consider potential suitors for a 9-year-old girl based on status and wealth it was just disgusting to her but she had to hold back to gain her grandfather's trust when Daniel said that Duke George would be perfect if it weren't for his age Elliot interrupted him he was greatly perturbed for Mirabel was only 9 years old and as far as Elliot could remember Duke George had no children so he asked is Danielle really considering Duke George as a potential Suitor for Mirabel as he stepped closer he said that if Daniel couldn't remember his age then Elliot would have to give him a cure for his memory loss Daniel smirked and said that he didn't mean it but only wanted the Duke's help in finding a suitable partner for Mirabel and that it hurt him to hear Elliot twist his words Elliot then asked if Danielle would mind if he passed those words on to his father and the Grand Duke Mirabel was very surprised that Elliot would stand up for her to which Danielle replied that Elliot could do as he pleased then he said he would and asked why Mirabel was acting as Daniel's guide and Mirabel told Elliot that he had asked her to take him to his grandfather Elliot then said that the only one who needed to be escorted was Mirabel taking Mirabel by the hand he said that her room was ready and he would take her there and that the butler was quite capable of handling taking him to the Duke's room so he asked them to excuse him and left with Mirabel when he and Mirabel arrived in her room he asked if she liked it it was hard to accept this new reality but she liked having a nice and cozy bed but she also liked that there was someone here who was willing to stand up for her even though it made her a little uncomfortable but it was nice nonetheless Elliot scratching his head told Mirabel to stay away from her great uncle though it was his opinion he was sure there was something wrong with him and at least she should avoid dialogue in private he said that in case of anything the servants wouldn't be able to help her so she should make sure she had someone with her when she was going to speak he asked if she was frightened and that he was sorry for what had happened she assured him that everything was fine but she did feel uncomfortable around him and she thanked Elliot for standing up for her looking at him she began to think that he too had been victimized by Daniel but after all he was the Duke's legitimate grandson Brian's only son she couldn't understand how it had happened but she realized she was a child now and could just ask that then she asked Elliot if Uncle Daniel had bullied him then he told her they were in the same boat and Mirabel realized it was about marriage Elliot began to tell me that Uncle Daniel was very obsessed with the issue as if he was was trying to get rid of them then Mirabel thought about the fact that she was an adult in a child's body and because of that she could understand everything Daniel was saying but if she were just a child she wouldn't be able to understand half of what he was saying Elliot began to tell her that he thought they should consider feelings and Mirabel seemed to think that Elliot was more mature than children his age sometimes he was even sharper then she asked him is there a girl he likes he he replied that yes and she wondered who she was he got a little nervous and said that her name was zenel saffron the son became agitated he said he had to go and quickly left the room Mirabel collapsed on her bed happy for Elliot for she had once heard that the lord of House kryon and Dame saffron had been married as soon as she stepped onto the threshold of kryon Manor the feeling of uneasiness never left her but thanks to Elliot it was much better now that she was rested she decided it was time to think who but Daniel would intercept her mother's letters this man was doing it without even Consulting the Grand Duke which meant it was quite a powerful man all these details pointed her to only one person it was the same butler named Stuart who was expecting Daniel's visit today from the way they talked to Daniel it seemed to her that they knew each other well however that wasn't enough to make him her prime suspect so what if he's hosted it's not strange that he works for Daniel she also thought that he might not be the only one in cahoots with danil and she should get to know the staff of the Mansion better in a way she could even understand why Daniel would do such a thing since her mother had broken off her engagement to the emperor while creating a giant Rift between house Creon and the royal family even if Daniel becomes Lord cron the royal family will not interfere however she reflected on the the fact that the relationship between kryon and the emperor might improve due to her mother's return and one could not predict for sure and that if he was going to take over you the royal family would only get in his way and perhaps that was the reason he was intercepting his mother's letters however her mother had already returned home and spoken to the emperor Mirabel hoped that the thought would haunt Daniel at night but she also realized that he wasn't the kind of man who would sit idly by and perhaps he would try to get rid of the two of them under the pretext of Goodwill two Maids entered the mirabel's room one introduced herself as Kina clovet and the other as Anita leopole saying that the other would take care of her personally Kina will also be with Mirabel but Anita is a personal maid and will accompany her wherever she goes and keep her company Mirabel was glad to meet her get out of your room she made her way to the dining room where Uncle Brian met her on the way he offered to accompany her thanking her for traveling with Cornelia to the royal castle and asked if they were all right there she was very surprised that a man who had destroyed many demons was having trouble talking to a little girl then she noticed the tears in his eyes and asked why he was crying he told her that he was very happy to have such a Charming sweet niece it really turned her perception of Brian upside down she now has a reliable family after so many years of struggling alone she finds everything is so much more beautiful than she ever expected Brian then asked her if she could tell him if she had met anyone at the royal castle and asked her to share the details to which Mirabel replied that she had met the emperor but he wanted to talk to her mom alone so she had to leave she also said that she met The Prince and the empress saying that she and her mom were good friends then she asked Brian if that was true he told her that her mother had been friends since they were children and that the empress had been more shocked than most when she learned of cornelia's disappearance with Gail Brian asked Mirabel if the prince had been rude to her she remembered how he had fallen to the floor and blamed her for it but she decided not to talk about it for he was a good son Brian calmed down and said that if he ever disrespected Mirabel to let her know immediately after all he happened to be his fencing coach and he and leoka would make him pay if he ever hurt Mirabel Mirabel wondered what he was talking about and Brian said he meant him the toughest work out of his life if he dared offend Mirabel he also told her that it didn't have to be a prince and that if she was ever hurt by anyone she should let him know if she needed his help so she decided to ask him to teach her how to wield a sword after all her mercenary skills were just instinctive survival techniques that had become a habit but if she trained with an artificial Master like Brian she might be able to reach even greater Heights and even destroy destroy all of Daniel's men Brian was a little concerned and told her that it would be a little harder than she thought and asked her if that was definitely what she wanted to do he told her that even though he was her uncle he wouldn't feel sorry for her while she was practicing and she should think hard about it to which she replied to him that it was all right and she wanted to study he told her that he would accept her request and they would start studying from tomorrow at dawn adding that she could let him know at any time if she wanted to study stop he told her he wasn't going to end it he then patted her on the head at which point he could see the pride in him having finished all this dialogue they went to the dining hall where they were already waiting and the Duke seated Mirabel near him despite the fact that this place was considered a place of honor and Brian sat there all the time Mirabel hoped he would not take offense at that the Duke looked at her and asked if she was tired after the royal visit to which she told him that she had enjoyed everything there and she was glad to have a cup of juice the Duke was happy to hear that and asked her to tell him if anything happened after all her grandfather would take care of everything she was very embarrassed this family appeared overprotective but she had to be then Daniel said that his brother couldn't suddenly change his character just because he had a granddaughter and people would be shocked to learn that the Grand Duke known for his steadfastness was shedding tears Duke asked to be excused for not introducing them but Daniel said they had already met then the Duke didn't understand when they'd had time and he asked how it had happened to which Elliot told him that upon Daniel's arrival he had asked Mirabel to be his guide a child who had only spent a day here and barely knew how it worked then Daniel decided to get out of it by saying he was so Charmed when he first saw her that he decided to tease her by asking her to escort him adding that she was very smart and knew the way perfectly anyway the Duke asked Daniel to be more careful since Mirabel had only been here for 24 hours and asked him to imagine how scared she would be if she got lost half an hour later when all had been drunk the Duke began to boast of his granddaughter for I had her Beyond her years he could not imagine how the little girl had gotten here from Delphia on her own you're a whole three days drive there he was very surprised that right before the Mansion she told him that Cornelia hertin was her mother and she was very sick and that she was able to ask for help just like that he thought it was a very brave thing to do look all this Mirabel realized it wasn't about bravery it was about determination because she had made a vow to herself that she would never lose her mom again Daniel raised his glass and said that one day Mirabel would make an excellent criton and with such nerves maybe she might well be suited to the role of head of the grand duy of kryon the Duke liked the idea of of course he needed to get to know her character better but Mirabel was already giving him High Hopes Mirabel had never seen her grandfather so happy but Daniel was only pretending hiding his true evil nature but the Duke trusted Daniel completely though it was not surprising since they had lived together as a family all their lives suddenly Daniel proposed a ball in honor of Cornelia and mirabel's return to High Society the Duke thought it was a good idea but he wanted to know what his granddaughter and daughter thought and said that from now on it would be as they wished Cornelia didn't mind the ball but she was worried about Mirabel for she was a very sensitive girl Mirabel understood why her mother was hesitant for as soon as words spread that they were back many people would congratulate them and welcome them back but there would be just as many who would gossip behind their backs and that her mom felt very strongly that she might be hurt by those words which was probably why Daniel had offered that score and it seemed like he wanted to turn her into an obedient little puppet Mirabel would never grow up to be a mercenary if she was intimidated by someone else's words so it's not going to be what Danielle thinks it will be and she's happily agreed to this ball but Cornelia didn't seem very eager to go to the ball looking for excuses then Daniel said it would be a good experience for Mirabel and that he was sure word of cornelia's return had already spread through the capital and asked her to imagine what they would say if she didn't even show up then she decided that she would go to the ball because such rumors did not only concern Cornelia they could affect Mirabel as well after hearing all this the Duke said he would order the servants to prepare a Flawless ball for them even though Mirabel knew it was a trap she was still uneasy about going there but she also felt that Daniel should not let his guard down and promised that it would not be like last time the next morning Mirabel went to the training room where she was to be taught by Brian kryon himself she was sure she would be much better after this training and as a bonus by spending more time with Brian and Elliot she would be able to find out if they were allies or enemies after all mom's letters were being intercepted by someone at the mansion and if they turned out to be allies she might be able to get them a little help after greeting everyone Brian told Mirabel that today was her first day so they would start with stretching asking her not to overdo it not to repeat after him and Elliot he started stretching talking about how it's the most important part of the workout it helps to avoid unnecessary injuries so he said it should never be forgotten and it is best if Mirabel stretches after the workout as well and that from that point forward every day she should do stretching before and after her workout after they finished stretching they decided to test her endurance by running one lap around the gym Mirabel couldn't run from her seat as fast as before it wasn't surprising since her body was untrained and those skills were just memories in her head after running a lap she sat down to rest for a while Brian leaned over to her and said that she was fast enough for a beginner however they had a lot of work ahead of them and they would not start fencing until Mirabel had enough stamina she got very excited and said she would work on it then he said he would give her another assignment and sent them off to squat Brian really wasn't kidding when he said he wouldn't spare Mirabel in training very tired Mirabel collapsed on the floor and Brian came over and said that they would repeat these exercises every morning to improve her stamina but he thought it would be very hard for her she knew that learning swordsmanship required basic stamina besides Uncle Bryan had spent his time and effort to train her personally and she couldn't let him down so she said she could do it she bowed before him and thanked him for the lesson he was proud of his niece and said she had done well going to lunch Duke found out that Mirabel had been at Brian's practice and asked if it had been difficult but she said it was fine and really enjoyed it Brian said he's sure it was very hard on her especially since it was only the first day but he's very glad she didn't give up and maybe house kryon will soon see another great fencer in its ranks as suddenly Daniel entered the room and said that there was no need for the girl to learn how to wield a sword the Duke then asked Daniel where he had been to which he replied that he had some business to attend to and Mirabel asked what was wrong with a girl learning swordsmanship for she knew many famous female Knights and from what she had heard they had all started early she knew she should have left it at that but Daniel was getting on her nerves too much then the Duke had said that nothing was impossible and that she should keep trying but Daniel had laughed at the phrase Mirabel then asked him if he had never accomplished anything he angrily asked what she was talking about and she said that she had been told that people who belittle the efforts of others are most often people who have never achieved anything in their lives and apologized saying that she had not meant that he was such a person she realized that Daniel wouldn't yell at the dinner table at a little girl while her grandfather watched so she smiled and said that she understood that Daniel had only said that because he was worried about her and thanked him for that he smiled and said that it was exactly like that and he was just worried for her safety and that at these stages he thought Mirabel was more in need of etiquette lessons than fencing he said she should learn good manners before she encounters other Nobles and from what he saw yesterday she seems unfamiliar even with dinner manners the Duke looked at his brother and realized that he was right and while she was here sooner or later she would have to learn learn how to do this he thought he was overdoing it and he wanted her to be able to relax a bit so he thought he had scheduled the ball too soon Mirabel getting nervous said it was fine there's no need to cancel the ball and she really likes to do things not just sit around and relax then the Duke asked Cornelia if she wanted to choose suitable teachers for Mirabel or if he should do it himself after which Cornelia asked for a list and she would take care of everything and said that she too would join in the training with Mira Bell for it had been so long since she had been among you know what and she was afraid she had forgotten everything and then Cornelia remembered that Mirabel had yet to visit the temple and suggested that she go there today for she would be too busy when she had a teacher Mirabel had been meaning to go there for a long time so she decided to do it today especially since she might actually be able to cure her mother's illness herself then Cornelia said that she would prepare a carriage for her after she had finished eating and she was was sure that she would have nothing more to do as they left in the carriage for the temple Mirabel was asked by her mother if she was sure she wanted to learn fencing for she wouldn't really want her daughter to know how to fight Mirabel then asked if it was because of daddy or this mom was silent her head cocked then she understood and grabbed her hand telling her not to worry promising that nothing like this would ever happen to them again Gail Houston was a noble Knight who had sacrificed in his life to save the village of Delia mom was very worried that Mirabel might end up like him however in order to protect her Mirabel was willing to do her best just as suddenly Mirabel spotted a guy outside the window who looked like Jeffrey and flashed over to call out to him but she was pushed away telling him not to do so that it was very dangerous Mirabel was sure she had definitely seen Jeffrey there and decided that when she returned to the mansion she would be sure to ask Grand du Kiton to find out how Jeffrey was doing now then her maid wanted to know who Jeffrey was and Mirabel gladly told her that he was a friend she had met on her way to the capital the maid noticed how much Mirabel wanted to say hello to him and asked if she was all right for she was ready to jump out of the window to see him Mirabel couldn't say her heart was broken but merely that an opportunity had been missed at the cost of two potatoes Mirabel finally arrived at the temple and upon entering she was very excited for the Moment of Truth had finally arrived and today she would find out for sure if she would have enough divine power to heal her mother at the entrance to the temple she was met by the priest who said that he was very honored by her visit and asked her to follow him when she reached the huge gate he said that only miss Mirabel could go through and that the others would have to wait here Mirabel immediately asked what was inside but the priest replied that she would only know when she went in he told her that he like all the other priests had been through it and that there was no need to be afraid she was a little scared because it sounded like a trap and she didn't want to go in there alone when she looked at his gaze which was so holy and pure that it was impossible to resist she made the decision to enter that room as she entered the room the doors themselves closed behind her and she began to suspect that perhaps this priest was one of Daniel's men and was only pretending to be a priest and then everything would fall into place just as she decided to leave a strange man with a staff came up behind her and told her not to be afraid she turned around and asked him who he was to which he replied that he was a humble servant of the Goddess danana named pleon he asked her to sit down saying he had something to say as well but his name sounded familiar to her he said he suspected she knew who he was and now it was obvious to him that she was the one he was looking for Mirabel said that everything sounded exactly as if she had been lured here on purpose even with no apparent reason for it and then she remembered that people didn't learn about pleon until she was in her 20s so perhaps he knew she came from a different time he told her to sit down realizing that she would have so many questions and he would be happy to answer any of them when she sat down he asked her if she knew what awaited her in the future for that was where she had come from she confirmed that she had come from the future but did not know her fate to which the priest said that he had waited a long time for her arrival she lowered her head and said she still didn't understand after all she has too little information she knows how to sleep in the forest how to take a wagon to the merchant Guild without paying but she doesn't understand what use she can make of this knowledge she looked at him and said that if she was to play an important role in some Mass plan using information from the future it would be better if someone really worthwhile took her place rather than a former mercenary then he told her that the creature that brought her back in time had chosen her and he held it out to her he said that this Noble being had brought her here she didn't understand anything she asked if the pendant had brought her back to the past if she would recognize it if she kept it to herself looking at the pendant she wondered why he kept referring to to it as a creature or entity because it all sounded a little strange but apparently this trinket had indeed brought her back to the past she asked him for more explanation but before she could finish she noticed that the priest had vanished leaving only a trace of him on the bench and she never saw him again all of her next days were packed with classes and training she would wake up in the morning going to training followed by breakfast and then etiquette and general education then she had courtesy lessons and dance lessons it turns out that her Mentor named via Tessa Maynard had also been tutored by her mother when she was a child despite being in her 60s her every gesture seemed honed graceful and Flawless she had created a curriculum that even someone as far removed from social etiquette as Mirabel would be able to master in a short period of time the teacher wanted to teach Mirabel perfectly but since the grand ball was only a day away her goal was to teach Mirabel how to make simple conversation she pelted Mirabel mercilessly but the latter could do nothing about it for the principles of noble common knowledge of etiquette and all the rest were too difficult for her the teacher said that no one would have high expectations for Mirabel because of her young age so she asked her not to panic and not to try to rush through the material at this point it seemed to Mirabel that politeness and dancing weren't such bad lessons the teacher said that after the ball they could take a more reasonable Pace work the materials more thoroughly and decided that class was over for the day Mirabel was very happy about this for it meant freedom from the clutches of Madame Maynard's education she wished it would all be over so she could keep track of what Danielle was doing now but she also decided to take her time as Madame Maynard had told her after all in a previous life Daniel had made his move after 14 years it is already some time before the worst worst possible outcome happens she was sure that the Grand Duke himself would intervene if anything happened to her mother the priest also said that the pendant was hers but she still did not dare to wear it because everything about it in that day seemed to her very unusual she couldn't put it off any longer and decided to see it through sitting on the bed looking at her pendant she decided that she shouldn't be surprised but it was still a plain silver pendant with wings as she looked at it she started to think it was just ordinary but she noticed that the snake's eyes opened and because she was 100% sure that as soon as she got it the snake's eyes were closed suddenly she noticed that the snake on the pendant had begun to Blink as if it were alive the snake was looking at her as if it were something unusual here and she was very frightened by it suddenly the pendant spoke to her telling her that he was the dragon guardian of the Goddess daana on a IA she had heard that name before a guardian in the guise of a snake serving as the arms and legs of goddess danana a long white body with huge translucent wings and piercing Ruby eyes she smiled and asked if he was definitely the dragon guardian of the godess danana and why he looked like a snake now to which he replied that he had his reasons after his battle with the black dragon he found himself trapped inside the pendant it was the only appearance he could manif manest in with his current powers and that Mirabel should believe him Mirabel began to wonder if he was telling her the truth for it seemed to her a delusion to be fighting a black dragon but remembering the words of St pleon who called the pendant a living thing and the fact that she had gone back in time was proof enough of the existence of incredible phenomena it no longer mattered to her whether this creature was a worm or something else if this artifact actually needed her well at least it wouldn't do her any harm she said she believed viver and asked why St pleon had given him to her adding however that he had said viver could answer all her questions Weaver said he had the answers to all her questions even about the reason she went back in time after she was killed namely because there were still traces of the black dragon Clips in the past Mirabel said she had never met him before and Weaver told her that she had died before klipa was reborn however she had been killed by someone under its influence and that trace of the black dragon remained in her but she couldn't exactly believe this Dragon the only thing she was sure of was that Daniel was going to take over the duche but you can't just say that he sold his soul to the black dragon to gain control of the Grand Duke that sounds absurd besides even if someone is under the black dragon's control and killed her it doesn't explain the fact of how she ended up in the past otherwise everyone who was killed by his hands would have gone back in time as well to which Weaver told her that it wasn't clip's powers that revived her it was he who brought her back to the past more specifically he and pleon Weaver asked if Mirabel knew that pleon was a saint and also that kpo controlled Daniel the wyvern said that pleon had been just as summoned to help prevent the resurrection of kpu and the wyvern gave him the power he used to seek out those under the black dragon's influence however their power was not enough to defeat Daniel and they couldn't win and the clip was reborn then pleon decided that this task would be suitable for someone else and he found the Mirabel eventually he sealed the wyvern in this pendant and went back in time to find the Mirabel pleon had been waiting for Mirabel at the temple for years and finally she visited him and as soon as he handed over the pendant in which Weaver was sealed his part of the job was was over Mirabel realized that the ash that was left behind him on the bench was all that was left after the pleon died Mirabel asked exasperated if the dragon had sent her back to the past just because of the black dragon to which the worm replied that she had he and Plum chose her and were sure she would be the one to carry on his legacy Mirabel apologized and said that she could not kill this dragon and that the dragon should have chosen someone stronger and more experienced in this matter and then the dragon smiling said that he was relieved that he was not asking her to kill this black dragon for Dragons cannot be killed all that was left for Mirabel was to Simply trap him and put him into an eternal sleep he said he needed Mirabel to keep the shackles of the kpsu from breaking Mirabel said that no matter what he called it she would have to fight this Dragon anyway and no matter how one looked at it it was an impossible request but the worms said that she wouldn't have to fight the dragon only to prevent it from being reborn she said that even though she wouldn't have to fight him the task was still difficult and since he was the one who had sent her back in time he must know she was a mercenary and she said that she had only one rule she would only take a job if she was offered decent pay so in exchange for the black dragon's help she wanted something too then the wyvern told her that if she successfully prevented clip's Resurrection the dwan temple would successfully present her as a saint and Grant her all the benefits associated with that title but Mirabel said that wasn't what it was about at all and then the wyvern asked what else was needed Mirabel asked the wyvern again if he had said that Danielle was trying to break the shackles of the clipboard which meant that the wyvern must have proof of their bond if that was the case he should share all the information with her down to the smallest detail she knew it was an almost impossible task but it could be the perfect opportunity for her because in 11 years Daniel would try to usurp the house of kuron and she only has 3 years left before she's considered an adult and it won't be easy for her to stand in the way of someone who is trusted by everyone in the family however if she gets more information she might be able to prove Daniel's connection to the black dragon and convince the others Dragon said he understood what she was trying to accomplish but however all he knew about Daniel was only that he was trying to break the shackles holding the clip back many people have the same goal and Daniel curtain is their centerpiece the dragon said he was sorry for Mirabel must have had such high hopes for him however that was all he knew a Mirabel was horrified for the dragon had said he had seen the past seen himself as if he had all the information in the world and now he was telling her he knew everything except except what really mattered she couldn't believe that was all for how could she stop Daniel without knowing anything and then the dragon offered to give her power Mirabel immediately wondered what kind of power she was talking about and the dragon said that he could give a power that could stand up to those under the black dragon's control a divine power Mirabel was immediately interested after all if this was really true and this Dragon could give her divine power it would help her a lot to stop Daniel not to mention the fact that she owed it to pleon and the Worm for bringing her back in time so she could save her mother then she decided to ask him one last time he wanted her to destroy Daniel before he could revive the black dragon to which he answered her yes it was her duty to stop Daniel curon she said she would help vivra he didn't believe it at first but when she said that if there was a goola she could just return him to the temple he became convinced of the honesty of her words whereupon Mirabel asked exactly what power will Weaver give her he promised to give her two kinds of Power one she already knew a divine power that could only be used by priests blessed by the goddess danana herself as soon as he began to speak of the second power The Amulet Shone with a bright light and a golden sword emerged from it it was a sword made from one of the bones of a vivra a lepidus Mirabel was pleased at first first and then asked viver if it was okay for him to live without a bone and offered to give the sword back to him he told her that he was a dragon guard and for decades that sword had been passed down to those who agreed to confront the Clipper with it it was a powerful weapon against the dark Forces that the clips used to control their subordinates it manifested only when she wished it to and disappeared as soon as it was no longer needed Mirabel hearing this wondered how it worked and decided to check it out since she didn't need the sword right now when she thought about it it disappeared from her hands Viv said that this sword was one of a kind so he asked her to be very careful with it besides anyone under the influence of the clip would immediately recognize this sword so he asked Mirabel to use it only when necessary and she promised him to remember this information when she wished the sword was in her hands again and took a few Strokes to make up for it it had been so long since she had held a sword in her hands that she thought she wouldn't remember how to do it at all but now that she had a sword that she really liked she really wanted to wave it around a bit she also felt the power inside her chest to heal her mother she was sure she could defeat Daniel and prevent the resurrection of clipso protecting her family once and for all the next morning she was wearing a ball gown being tried on Elliot was standing on the way out out offering to escort Isabel having said that one would normally have to be a royal princess at her age to be honored with such a debut since the only other person besides a princess in this Kingdom with a high enough status would be the child of the Grand Duke critton in other words her she asked if that was true and Elliot told her that it only proved how much influence house Craton had in the Kingdom of mirbel it was no surprise that Daniel was eager to lead it but she wondered if he needed the power of house Craton to resurrect the black dragon or he simply needed Authority and wealth or perhaps there was a connection between the resurrection of clipes and the resources of house kryon Elliot thought that Mirabel was nervous and reassured her telling her that she had nothing to worry about because even if she failed no one would dare criticize her but he was sure that everything would go well she realized that he was trying to calm her down because he thought she was nervous about the ball so she thanked him and told him that he helped her calm down whereupon he held out his hand to her and asked my dear lady will you take my hand she answered him that she would be glad to and they went into the room where the ball was being held as soon as they entered their names were immediately shouted throughout the hall the family immediately greeted them and praised them for their outfits then the Duke invited Mirabel to go with him and greet their guests she gladly accepted approaching the guests the Duke began to push his speech my lords and my ladies welcome I am Alexander kryon Lord and Grand Duke of house kryon he thanked everyone for joining them on this beautiful evening and introduced his favorite daughter Cornelia kryon and also did not forget about Mirabel his favorite granddaughter who was dearer to him than life at that moment the audience clapped and congratulated him after all he had not seen his family for many years and finally was was able to reunite with them everyone in the hall was sure that this was a big celebration for the Duke he thanked everyone for those warm words and again thanked everyone who joined them for this night of Celebration and giving back Cornelia and Mirabel told everyone to enjoy this night to the fullest so many people had come to the ball that mirbel felt more comfortable surrounded by Angry demons than she did here at the same moment the empress and her Adrien costro joined the ball Mirabel hadn't expected them to be here as soon as Adrien noticed the Mirabel he immediately tugged on his mom's dress and asked her to come up to her after greeting them Cornelia said they were honored to have them visit that evening the empress stroked mirabel's head and said she was very glad to see her again and then she asked how Cornelia was doing and she said she hadn't expected to see them here after all they must be terribly busy and she was very grateful to them for taking the time the empress said she would never miss such a grand ball for Cornelia and her daughter Mirabel was embarrassed for Adrien had not taken his eyes off her and she asked why he was looking at her he got a little nervous and said that she looked very nice today she couldn't believe her ears asked what he meant and then he realized he'd said it out loud and started to say confused that that wasn't what he'd meant to say and apologized again for scaring her last time though it didn't sound like an apology to Mirabel but she understood why he did it even though he himself had fallen then she smiled and said it was okay thanking him for his apology he became very nervous and lowering his head to the floor asked her if she wanted to be his friend Cornelia hearing this leaned over to her daughter and said that Prince Adrien seemed to want to be friends with Mirabel she wondered what a friend he would offer friendship for but at least he was an honest kid who cared a lot for his mother he was like a Charming little brother to her and she answered him that she would agree to be friends with him they shook hands and Adrian said that from that day on they were friends she had never crossed paths with him in the past so she hadn't realized he had such an attractive side the prince took advantage of the moment and asked Mirabel to dance with him she was a little puzzled even though she knew that everyone danced at the ball she could not expect to dance with Prince Adrien to her it was like dancing with her younger brother but she figured there was nothing wrong with it and maybe it would even be fun besides she couldn't say no while the empress was watching she told him it sounded lovely but asked him to request her to dance formally he was a little surprised but immediately got down on one knee held out his hand and said beautiful lady would you please honor me with a dance of your own though it was far from perfect she thought thought he had pulled it off and agreed saying she would be honored then they began to dance Adrien looked so scared for her but danced perfectly for such a person even though it wasn't a perfect dance she wasn't a very good dancer either as Prince Adrien suddenly stumbled and fell she managed to grab him by the waist and prevented him from landing on the ground he thanked her for her help but he was very ashamed of it when Mirabel realized this she thanked him for the dance saying it was great so as not to upset at the boy she assured him that there was nothing to worry about and she liked everything about it when they thanked each other for the dance people began to discuss them saying that they would make a wonderful couple thinking that they could change the whole relationship between the great throne in the duche someone began to discuss their wedding Mirabel hearing all these rumors began to feel strange none of these people had any idea of the age difference between Mirabel and this child not the kind of SC I was hoping for Elliot suddenly called out to her praising her for her dance after all she'd only had a few days to get the hang of it and she'd done a great job Elliot approached with a beautiful lady she immediately introduced herself as the daughter of the Earl of embro safreno Mirabel realized that this was the girl Elliot was in love with I had the pleasure of meeting her she said she seemed so beautiful it was no wonder Elliot was in love with her she felt like the scent of of Lily was thinning on her that's when she realized what was coming at her and she wanted to tease him even more so she suggested a dance she told them that she and the prince had already done the dance and it was their turn Elliot was very panicked trying to find an excuse and then Mirabel asked him if he could dance he turned around and asked xeniel if she would dance with him to which she happily agreed Mirabel had noticed that even Elliot who was so powerful and conf ident would freeze up in situations like this taking advantage of the moment Adrien asked Mirabel if he could be her date for the rest of the evening he had heard that this was mirabel's first ball so as her friend he wanted to teach her the basics she happily agreed the ball went on much longer than she had expected her companion fell asleep and was carried away in the arms of a guard her little one talked endlessly with the empress so she decided not to Tire herself out and quietly slipped out of this ball she went out to get some air but noticing the beauty of the garden she thought she was in a fairy tale and decided to walk around it a bit suddenly the bushes stirred and it seemed to her that someone was sitting there she took the stick in her hand thinking that she might be attacked before she could call the guards and decided to walk over and see what was there already swinging it she heard a request to stop as Jeffrey suddenly came out of there she was greatly surprised when she asked him what he was doing here he told her that he had come here to see her for people had told him that he could find her here he thought he would have to wait for ages before he could find her but he was lucky and she came out into the garden he was glad to see her for they had not seen each other for a long time she said he had been foolish for if she had been a guard she could have punished him severely and that made it all the more difficult he said he hadn't even thought about it and smiled sweetly she'd realized in the wagon that he was Reckless of course but she was finally convinced now then Jeffrey said that as soon as he heard that the Grand Duke was giving a grand ball he decided to come as he hoped to see her here and held out a bouquet of flowers to her said he'd bought them for her she liked the flowers very much and thanked him for them but she wondered whether he had come all this way just to give them to her he told her that although he had not yet paid her for the potatoes he wanted to do it for her she thanked him again for the bouquet and pinned it on her dress so she wouldn't lose it then she asked him to be more careful next time telling him that he needed to protect himself she noticed that he was getting more scars on him and asked where they came from to which he told her it was nothing and then she thought she might be able to heal him with divine power and asked him to come closer to see them but he said it was okay she turned away from him saying that if he didn't want her to she wouldn't do it then Jeffrey got really nervous grabbed her and pulled her closer saying that if she wanted to watch let her watch but he said it too loudly and she was afraid someone might see them immediately she covered his mouth and looked around but everything seemed to be fine when she asked why Jeffrey was so hot maybe he had a cold to which he told her it was fine and suggested she focus on his wounds she motioned for him to stand still beginning to examine the wounds she didn't like the look of them she leaned her hand on the scar and began to think about how she could use the divine power trying to remember the priest's words when suddenly she heard VI's Voice who told her to concentrate the divine power at her fingertips he told her that it would be very easy for her for she was his chosen one then suddenly her hand glowed and the scars began to heal Jeffrey was surprised for his face no longer hurt hurt nor did the rest of his body she was glad that he was healed but she had to be careful because he was still a child and if he started asking a million questions everything would go wrong so she asked him to keep it a secret and he promised not to tell anyone now that that was over with she asked him again why he had come was he really willing to pay two potatoes he scratched his head and said he had come here for another reason and had forgotten all about the potatoes she said it was okay he shouldn't worry about those potatoes and suggested he go somewhere else to continue the conversation saying she knew where to sit down around here they went to the Fountain where she asked him once more why he had come for she really wondered for he had taken a great risk to get here so the reason was very serious he said he wanted to thank her because he had heard that the Grand Duke had withdrawn the reward for him and had even paid his debt to Gaiman it was not clear to him why he showed him such kindness and then he resolved to make several visits at once to Kitt's houses eventually he confronted the Grand Duke he asked him a question why is he helping him and the Duke said he was doing it for his granddaughter and once he realized his situation he took pity and decided to help Mirabel asked her grandfather to cancel the reward for Jeffrey but she didn't even realize he was also getting out of debt Jeffrey said he wondered who the granddaughter was and then he saw her a few days ago in a carriage at the mansion on her way to the temple even though Mirabel had introduced herself as Mirabel hail he hadn't realized she was actually cryon but after weighing it all again he realized there was no one else he could ask for help but her and mirabel's story of traveling to the capital to meet her grandfather the story of Duke kryton's long awaited Union with his daughter and granddaughter 10 years later only confirmed his guesses Mirabel told him that he was right and she was the one who asked his grandfather to to take his award off because he didn't deserve it Jeffrey was very worried for he didn't even know how to thank her for that even the potato she gave him was already a divine blessing she told him everything was fine and a simple thank you would suffice she was nice to him at first because she knows that one day but she also knows what it's like to fight for your life alone as an orphan it's brutal and painful and scary and Jeffrey has spent his whole life trying to stay strong he continued to hold back the tears that were bursting out Breathing heavily in her arms he was finally able to speak apologizing for it thanking her again she told him that if he felt sad again he should not hold back his tears and handed him a handkerchief Jeffrey asked if he could keep it to which she smiled and said it was his now Jeffrey noticed the look in mirabel's eyes and asked why she was looking at him like that because she had already said that could keep the handkerchief and there was no turning back she smiled and said that she wasn't thinking about that at all she just liked his hair it was very pretty not expecting to hear that he asked her menacingly what she was talking about which made her laugh a lot then he got mad that she was making fun of him but she said that she just thought he was adorable and she wasn't making fun of him and that that's what she meant about his hair he asked if she really liked their color and she touched them and said they shimmered in the the Moonlight like silver very beautiful and unusual he got embarrassed and turned to her and said she was very beautiful too she asked him what he meant since her hair was just a plain color and he said she was beautiful in everything because she was her she was sure he was only saying that because he was grateful to her but it still felt good and she thanked him for it then she asked if he would like to stay with her or rather in this Mansion after all he was supposed to become a mercenary King one day but until then his world would surely be filled with hardship and sadness and she suggested him to stay in the Mansion because she feels that he would be much more trained in swordsmanship here it wasn't just that however he was only 11 and she didn't want him to face such avoidable difficulties she said she would put in a good word for him if he decided to stay and he would be trained here to be a knight he thanked her for the offer but said he was happy with everything she asked him why he didn't want to stay since he would be better off here he stood up and said he did what he had to do and besides he didn't want to be indebted to her anymore after all first there were the potatoes then the reward and even his remaining debts and how dare he get anything more from her if he gives nothing in return she smiled and told him not to think it was another duty but he said he could handle it himself and she had nothing to worry about that he was only 11 and already so independent and then she asked him again he said it was the last time she would offer but he said no again but he said there was something she could do for him and asked her from time to time he could do it no problem but asked him to make an appointment next time after all if he was caught sneaking into the Noble's territory things could end badly and he said he understood stood her then they heard someone walking around the garden looking for Mirabel most likely it was her mother and they decided it was time for them to go Jeffrey said that he could take care of himself and asked not to worry about Mirabel he told her he was leaving for Karen tonight the merchants Guild was heading there and he intended to go there she was going to ask him to stay at least for the night but she realized it was pointless because because if he had plans he would go to carry them out so she smiled and told him to come to her whenever he wanted but to talk about it in advance he smiled and told her not to be angry with him for coming too often to which she told him she would be glad he turned around and headed for the field she asked why he didn't go out the main gate and he promised that he would use it the next time he had the proper invitation but for now he had to run as he ran away he mentally thanked her again promising that he would be much better the next time they saw each other after the ball the grand duchess returned to her usual daily routine however there were small changes in mirabel's life but the biggest one was her morning training after two dreary long weeks of endurance training Uncle Brian finally handed her a wooden sword even though the lessons became much more difficult she was very happy that she was learning from such a master who was able to reach such Heights and that was the biggest reward for her to endure all these difficulties and she was even happy with such intense training she was beginning to like the idea of becoming a knight and getting a title of nobility more and more after all her teacher said that a noble woman was usually doomed to live the rest of her life as someone's wife and considering the possible prospects that awaited Mirabel after the successful defense of the grand duche it turned out to be a good choice for her sitting at the dinner table her mother asked if Mirabel had gone to practice today to which she shared the good news that she had finally been given a sword to hold her mom then asked her not to overexert herself and to take breaks during class Uncle Brian hearing this asked what breaks were involved and apparently Cornelia has no idea what an incredible Talent her daughter has for sword fighting and it only took a day to learn some of the techniques that Elliot had been trying to master for for days he was very proud of her and Cornelia thought that perhaps Mirabel was taking an example from Gail and was glad of that but then Danielle decided to jump into the conversation and reminded her that she's still a little girl and even though she's so good she can get hurt she may be able to heal wounds and injuries with her divine power but she's better off not getting them at all everyone was really worried about mirabel's safety but wanted to support her in whatever choices she made and then Uncle Daniel asks Cornelia if she was interested in anyone at the ball he realizes that she may still have feelings for Gail but it upsets him that she is alone after all these years she thanked her uncle for his concern and said she had no intention of dating anyone else Belle needed her at that moment Mirabel realized what the ball was for her uncle was trying to sell not only her but her mother as well and then she decided to ask directly standing up from the the table she said that she seemed very anxious that she and her mother should marry the Duke asked what this was about and then Mirabel said that her uncle had told her that the Marquis of bayv had a 16-year-old son who would make a good match for her Daniel said that this marriage would further strengthen the influence of house kitton here Daniel got a little confused and said that the son of the Marquis of bayv was an exceptionally young man he only mentioned him as a potential possibility ility but Mirabel continued to list the names Daniel had mentioned and when it came to Duke George the Grand Duke got very angry with Daniel tried to explain that he meant that George could help them find a good man for Mirabel and that she had misunderstood him but Elliot decided to jump into the conversation and said that he had clearly heard that day when Danielle was naming potential candidates for her Daniel decided to look hurt and said it broke his heart to think that his own nephews thought so poorly of him the Duke said that whatever Daniel's intentions were he should avoid such talk in the presence of the children he had no intention of forcing the marriage on Cornelia or any of the children and apologized to them for Daniel explaining that he must have misspoken causing them to think falsely that he had intent Elliot apologized saying that he must have made a mistake and the Duke said that if Danielle ever brought up such a conversation in front of the children again he would have no choice but to intervene but then Daniel said that he was only saying it out of love for them and promised to avoid any further misunderstandings Mirabel was happy with this Arrangement understood her point of view and Daniel will not be able to do anything more to her mother besides Elliot might be on her side in the future and could help her Mirabel caught up with Elliot outside asking the servants to leave them alone for there was something they wanted to discuss so she grabbed him and asked him what he thought of his great Uncle Daniel this puzzled him and he warned her that if she called him that and it was overheard by anyone she could get in big trouble and she promised to be careful but she asked him how he felt about him anyway to which he said that she knew perfectly well that he was a bad man but why did she suddenly decide to ask him that she said it was a very long story and she would try to tell it soon said that up until they came here they used to send Grandpa letters but someone would intercept them so Grandpa could never see them Elliot had heard that Auntie had sent letters to his grandfather asking for forgiveness and asked if these letters were the ones Mirabel was talking about to which she said that they were he said these letters were sent through Travelers and someone else and maybe someone lost them along the way it's not uncommon said she understood that but explained that Mom wrote at least two letters every week and that if any of those letters had reached Grandpa they would have been reunited much sooner however none of them made it to the mansion and that they entrusted the letters to different mercenaries and Traders each time and they all managed to get lost Mirabel asked him if he thought it was a coincidence she said it sounded rather odd and if she'd been sending letters for years and none of them had gotten through he thought someone had been intercepting those letters from the Mansion Mirabel thought that someone wanted to prevent her mother from returning to the house house but Elliot assured her that if that were the case Duke kryon would have already taken care of the matter to which Mirabel said that she had already spoken to her grandfather about it but since they were already reunited with her mother he didn't think anyone would do such a thing Elliot said he understood everything but he wondered if Uncle Daniel had anything to do with it or if Mirabel suspected him thinking it was he who had stolen the letters she answered him that she did though she knew knew it was far from a suspicion and in future she herself had made sure with her own eyes when he told her explained why he had done so but only she knew about it or she couldn't be sure he'd believe her even if he knew the details but if Danielle found out her plans would be ruined so Elliot asked her if what she was saying was true why would a great uncle do something like that because he wouldn't do something like that without a reason and then Mirabel said that maybe there was a relationship with the throne explained that when her mother broke off her engagement to James the ties between house kryon and the throne were severely compromised but that's not the case now and asked if Elliot knew what she meant when they returned to the mansion the mother visited the emperor in person and begged his pardon after which the empress and the prince attended a banquet Elliot then remembered that mirbel had even befriended The Prince and Mirabel had said that now that their connection to the throne was was restored if something terrible happened to house Crome they could count on the support of the throne then Elliot asked what she meant was Uncle really going to do something terrible to their house and he said that it wasn't just Grandpa protecting their home but also his father Brian and that as long as he was here nothing terrible would happen Mirabel of course understood that Uncle bran was capable of fending off any threat even from Daniel but in the future he wasn't there when everything fell apart there's no way of knowing what happened between now and then but it's likely Daniel devised his plan when he found out Brian's uncle wouldn't be around to stop him then she told Elliot that they knew Uncle bran would be able to protect them but they could use a little investigation and suggested that he find out who might have stolen those letters and if they didn't find them they could be sure that no one in the Manion was trying to stop them Elliot agreed with her saying that if someone did intercept your letters they should definitely find out who that's when she said she really needed him because she didn't know the people who worked at the mansion and what they did and it would be very helpful if he could narrow down the list of people who might be involved he promised to help her find out who might have received the letter and to be sure to let her know when he had finished the list she thanked him for his help she was sure he would agree Mirabel realized that after they found the evidence they would need an adult who could interrogate potential Suspects Elliot seeing her hesitation told her that she had no idea how dark and tense the Mansion had been until she and her aunt returned he'd also heard that it hadn't always been like this at least not while his mom had been around but when she died he'd been about as old as Mirabel and it had gotten stuffy being in the mansion ever since now that he and his aunt had moved in however he was finally starting to feel at home here again and he hadn't laughed like that in a long time Mirabel then returned indoors as she found through the corridors she was approached by the dragon told it was time to tell his story and asked if she was ready to hear she had to send the maid to get some juice so she wouldn't be in the way but the dragon said she didn't have to speak aloud for him to hear her after all while she wore the pendant he could hear her subconscious their minds connected he suggested trying to think about what she wanted to say as soon as she thought of something the drag immediately spoke the phrase and it surprised her very much she couldn't believe that they were talking to each other with the power of thought we were amused by the dragon after all everyone reacts the same way but suddenly she tripped on the steps and the dragon told the Priestess to be careful she wondered why he had called her that and asked him to explain to which he said that as long as they were Bound by the same power she would remain a priest then the dragon said it was time to discuss the black dragon in more detail and asked to be taken to the Temple of the goddess danana and that the local priests already considered her theirs she asked what exactly he wanted to tell her about the black dragon but the dragon said he would answer any questions once they arrived at the temple it would also be best if she could discuss it with the other people in the Temple when she realized that she would have to go to the temple she decided to do it another day after all she had a class today and she was going to go there as soon as she got the chance the next day sitting in the carriage she asked the wyvern if he remembered pleon dying as soon as he handed her the pendant to which he replied that he remembered everything for he was a dragon Guardian Untouched by blessing unlike humans and everything he had ever experienced was invariably stored in his memory she said that in the future where she came from he was supposed to be a saint but but time turned back and she and pleon gave her this pendant so what if according to the wyvern she is a priestess what is ponk fate the dragon assured her that she had nothing to worry about and that pleon had always been a loyal servant of the goddess danana and that being appointed a saint was a great honor even though it was in a different timeline it turns out that pleon remembered everything that happened to him in his past life even though he should have forgotten everything but the goddess blessed him and left him with the memories of that fateful day when they failed miserably to overpower the clip when they arrived at the temple they were met by lonol he was the priest of the Temple of the Goddess dwani he said that they were waiting for her and the Archbishop and other priests were already waiting in the assembly room and asked to see her off she accepted it as an honor and asked to be called simply Mirabel she had never been so formally welcomed into the temple before everyone seemed to recognize ized that she had accepted viva's proposal walked up to the door and was told again that she could only go in there alone no servants this scared her a lot and they asked if that was what she wanted to which she said it was fine they had nothing to worry about entering behind those mysterious doors she was met by the Archbishop and the other priests who greeted her the Archbishop touched her forehead reciting a prayer after which she was immediately relieved as if she had been kissed by a goddess as soon as they began the dialogue the Archbishop thanked Mirabel for accepting the offer which he thought was very hard normally they would present a new Priestess to the world through a public ceremony but given the circumstances they had to forgo the formalities Mirabel said she wasn't really interested in that and had come here to discuss the details and particulars she needed to know and asked to start right away then the Archbishop began to tell her that there are those who are trying to break the seal of the clip namely Uncle Daniel keraton he asked if Mirabel had heard this from vivra after a positive answer he began to tell her that what they had to fight were the forces that Daniel Triton had gathered while in the service of the black dragon and that they were currently searching for traces of these agents but they were moving very stealthily so it was very difficult to track their leader but now they know who it is and most likely he himself possesses the guard Stone in which the black dragon is sealed and they must either stop Daniel take the Stone from him or kill him then pleon from this time said that the future himym could not discover any information except that the leader was Daniel and they had failed therefore the clip was at large but thanks to Weaver they were able to turn back time and they were able to find a more worthy candidate namely lady Mirabel looking at him Mirabel realized that he was suffering from his defeat and he needed to accept it and give this Mission it must be very hard for her then the bracelet glowed that he really wished he hadn't tied himself up like that and Mirabel decided to relay those words to pleon he thanked her for that but said they would discuss the details later for now they needed to discuss the events that would begin to unfold from now on one of the priests suggested reporting everything to the throne but they immediately rejected the idea after all Daniel has a great great title and because of that there could be very big problems as he has a great weight in the Society and also the events that will happen in the future which they experienced only they know and only they will realize it even though they couldn't see the answer now but they had to bide their time and keep looking for it when Mirabel said that Danielle would not attack until 14 years from now and after that The Rebirth of the clips would happen in the meantime they should keep an eye on Daniel and prepare for all contingencies and that if there was really no way to stop his plan from going ahead she should be the one to kill him as a last resort she told him that she had a sword forged from dragon bone and then pleon said that the sword could indeed allow her to go up against Daniel but to kill him she would need not only the blade but also Superior skills in wielding it she remembered that she had been killed by Daniel's soldiers in the past and it was the skills that she lacked that time meaning that she needed to become even stronger than in the past after all this sword isn't just a sword she rushed to reassure the priests saying that she realized her skills weren't good enough right now but she was only 9 years old and could get stronger and was already working on it and that perhaps if she became as strong as the man dubbed the mercenary King it would appease them all they asked if it was about Jeffrey to which she said she planned to become stronger than him they wished her luck and told her that if anything went wrong they would get him on their side so they asked her not to aggravate herself she decided that the next time she saw Jeffrey she had to build a relationship with him she decided that the next time she saw Jeffrey she should make a good connection with him deciding to end at this meeting Cleon turned to Mirabel saying that if she needed help she could come to him at any time when she arrived at this Temple she thanked him smiled and said that she already needed help she apologized for bothering him but he believed there was nothing wrong with that knowing how to control Divine Powers would be a huge Plus on her path and they had wanted to offer it to her for a long time Mirabel decided that when it came to her mom's recovery she'd be glad if it happened as soon as possible and she could use the skills then the dragon said that if Mirabel learned how to control divine power it would give more freedom to him and he was looking forward to it she asked if that Freedom would be the same as breaking the seal of the clipboard and the dragon reassured her told her that by Freedom he meant traveling outside of kulon for only his soul was locked up here while his body slumbered somewhere deep in the being of the universe and that his seal should not be broken until someone found his body he said that once she has her powers she can extract him from this pendant and materialize his soul and then they wouldn't have to communicate through this artifact it sounded very very tempting to her and besides a grown lady wouldn't be able to walk around with such a childish pendant when she got to the building the priest said that for her next class she should come here in this place quietly concentrating on her powers and suggested she start now asking her to show her Palms he said she would feel something at her fingertips and asked her to memorize the sensation a ball of light appeared in her hands filled with the power of energy she had felt it before the same warmth and power she had felt when she had healed jeffy's wounds then the priest lowered his hands and asked her to try on her own saying it might take a long time but it was worth a try when she tried to concentrate the dragon interrupted her telling her not to try to find anything else in the energy she realized then that her energy was divine power and she shouldn't look for anything else in it then she told the priest that she was able to find it and spun it around her hands into a golden ball of energy everyone was surprised to learn so quickly but she wanted to feel even more power and overdid it giving off an energy that burst her orb and tossed her aside the priest was very surprised for he had never seen such a thing before he said that it was only possible in theory the power was so strong that it exploded he said he thought she had done well on her first assignment and they would learn how to control these powers in the next lesson and gave gave her the crystal ball it was the same one from the room where pleon had first spoken to her the priest had told her that Crystal could hold Divine powers and that was how they were able to meet pleon that day though a crystal of that size shouldn't do such incredible things it would definitely help Mirabel contain its immense power she took it and promised to handle it very carefully pleon met them after class and they had much to discuss Mirabel asked him to get her ready for the carriage when everyone left pleon said that he was terribly worried that his death after handing over kulum might have shocked Mirabel she smiled and said she'd be fooling him if she told him she wasn't the least bit surprised but she thought there was a good reason pleon then said that the pendant was a sacred artifact and only Saints could touch it so the only option to get it to Mirabel was for him from the future to contact her through divine power and the Crystal room pleon expressed his joy that he had kept his memories of the future because he was sure she might be very confused about what had happened but since he had explained everything to her it should have been clearer Mirabel asked him not to worry and told him that this time they would serve as priests not Saints and would be able to stop the Clipper rebirth together when she arrived home she was about to rest but noticed that there was a boy sitting on the doorstep when she looked more closely she realized it was Adrien then she asked him what he was doing here to which he replied that her majesty had come to visit mirabel's mother and he was just accompanying her but he also came to visit his friend and asked her again if they were friends she hadn't expected him to be so sociable and invited him to her room asking him to bring them drinks Adrien asked her where she had been all day because he had been waiting for her since morning she answered him with a smile that she was at the dwani temple and then the guy started asking her endlessly what she was doing there when she said she had gone there on business he started asking what kind of business Mirabel assumed kids his age were interested in everything but this seemed over the top to her when she asked Adrien if her uncle teaches him too he said yes he always wants to learn something more because it's not as boring as other classes then she decided to say that she was also learning from him he was very surprised because he hadn't even thought about it but unlike them she was just beginning her training and then Adrien offered to spar with her because among children his age only Elliot could hold a sword but he was too strong an opponent for him she smiled and told him that he might regret the offer for she was sure she would win it she was sure he'd have a chance if she were a little girl his age but inside that body lived a former mercenary then Adrien asked if there was a sparring Hall on the estate took her hand and asked her to take him there upon arriving at the gym Brian didn't want to put them sparring as Mirabel had only held the sword for 3 Days Latt offered his candidacy in her place then Adrien said that Mirabel had already agreed lot asked her in surprise if that was true to which she told him that it would be a great opportunity for her Mirabel asked Uncle bran to be the judge of their duel her uncle was very nervous saying that even though Mirabel was older Adrien had held a sword for 3 years unlike her her and he was very worried that she might get hurt she tried to reassure him by telling him that he would watch them and she was sure everything would go well Brian agreed to spar but asked them both to be careful not to hurt each other they looked at each other and made that promise before the sparring started Adrien said he wouldn't spare her even though they were friends she was glad to hear this and told him that he would be very much Dishonored if he lost this fight before the sparring began Brian announced the rules and the finale of this sparring would be when one side gave up or could not continue the fight but also in case of serious injuries he promised to intervene as soon as the sparring began Mirabel immediately began to analyze her opponent noticing that he too was studying every move but his posture was unsteady and he looked too nervous to allow her to strike from her experience people in this state tend to react instinctively not fully understanding their opponents and intentions she realized that these were her chances and lunged right at him running sharply she realized he was going to swing and in that second she was able to crouch down and knock the sword out of him bowing her dream to his head she laughed and said she had won suggesting Adrien surrender but Adrien wasn't too upset about the defeat on the contrary he was happy he was surprised that Mirabel was so strong Mirabel wondered why her uncle hadn't said anything to her since he was the most concerned then he leaned over to her and asked if she could take another round when she answered in the affirmative he told Elliot to bring his sword Elliot was greatly concerned for she was only 9 years old and he was afraid of hurting her he also thought that Mirabel had almost fallen during the fight but she noticed that her uncle realized it was a special deceptive maneuver Mirabel realized that this duel would tell her her level for Elliot was the strongest of the boys his age when the bout started Mirabel noticed that he wasn't too excited about this fight but she could understand him even though this was a great opportunity for her she badly needed to take her skill to the next level she was going to do her best to get her uncle to reconsider her status the first move was mirabel's she swung with all her might but Elliot was able to fend her off she knew he wasn't going to give up much pushing him hard with her shoulder she tossed him aside much to his surprise eyes after all he was sure that she was just a beginner after that the fight took on a different character it was already a battle of Honor for Elliot and he swung sharply at her from above but she was able to fend him off realizing that there was no point in using physical Force now she dodged sharply and snatched his sword from his hands Brian declared her Victory but she said she won by pure luck after all if they had fought seriously she would have lost Elliot didn't even expect her to be able to wrestle the sword from him
