(Cresencia's POV)

I woke up with sweat pouring out of my body.

I sat up and reach for a glass of cold water on the bedside table. The coldness of the water run through my throat, sending relief to my stiff muscles as I continuously gulp the water down. Today is the day I've awaited the most, a day I can finally return to the capital. There might be bad memories from my modern past but a new chapter is about to open, and I don't want to miss this chance. A chance to live a life with happiness.

For me everyone who lives in this manor are people I call 'my real family' and no one can replace them. My father, Duke Feng Changming is a veteran general who won victorious battles whenever the emperor send him to war. While my mother was once a military general, Duchess Feng Jiayi who stopped her career and took care of me. And we live in an island filled with kind hearted people. Far from the cruelty that I once witnessed, far from pain and worry, far from crimes and betrayal, and far from the malicious thoughts of other aristocratic families.

We live in peace, prosperity, fairness and love.

But it's time to leave this peaceful paradise.

I need to start a new journey.

Somewhere behind these seas.

And far from everything familiar to me.

The emperor sent an invitation to my parents, a glorious event for officially crowning the appointed prince to be a crown prince and the selection of his imperial consort. Since I am nearing my eighteenth birthday it is only right for me to participate in a selection which is mandatory for every noble lady. (No to Plagiarism!

"Lei'er it's time to go, come and bid everyone goodbye" my mom tapped my shoulder, I smiled at her and hold her hand as we walk out of my room.

The ship sail on a summer night, where the moon and stars shine bright. My mother sing a lullaby as we sit on the deck, feeling the waves of the sea as it calls me to my destiny. Oh sweet summer night, a night I'll remember the most.

When I woke up it is already morning.

The sun shine so bright.

"We've arrived at the port, all we need to do is eat and wait at the carriage. Our men with unload our things and transfer it to carriages and after that we will travel to our manor in the capital. Oh dear, it has been so long since I last visited the capital." My mother said, while my dad chuckled

"I will accompany the two of you home, and I will leave immediately. The emperor has summoned me, we've got matters that needs our attention."

"Don't overwork yourself father"

"I won't, look, my beautiful wife and daughter has taken good care of me. I am fit to work and ready for anything."

The life in the capital starts now.
