Few years ago,
Neville met her grandfather, the last time she saw him was in her father's funeral. Later on, maids started to harass her, which become harsher with passage of time. She had already accepted her new life, when her grandfather appeared once again, and saved her.
Later on she met her savior, cousin who exposed her aunt to the clan. At her birthday, she saw a dream, in which she married to a noble, when her cousin was busy in the war. At first everything was good, until one day he disappeared. His husband started to abuse her, so were in-laws, then he brought various mistresses, her children were also neglected, and died due to illness. She was completely helpless, when she learnt the truth.
She woke up, in another place, a completely empty hall, as she was looking around, a voice echoed, "Do you want to change your destiny?"
"Who are you? What had happened to me?"
"What you saw just now is one of the countless possibility which you will experience in future. I can tell you a way to take control over the direction of life you wanted, but do you have determination to take the path full of thorns?"
"I will, I can accept everything, as long as I could bring justice to my parents, as well as become strong enough to protect myself and my loved ones."
"Congratulation, you are now host of the PHOENIX SYSTEM."
"You have received BEGINNER GIFT PACK, do you wish to open it."
She agreed, and various items appeared before her, like A card, potions and some books.
SUMMONING CARD: you have received a summoning card of Instruction Jacob. He his well-versed in various fields like martial art, strategizing, politics, etc.
POTION PACK: It consists of various potions which will heal all your injuries, nourishes your body as well as remove all kinds of impurity from your body.
Note: There might be small pain, after you consume it, but as long as you can endure it, a great rewards will be waiting for you.

Slowly time passed, she managed to overcome most of her trauma with helps of the system, as well as learnt a lot. When she become proficient enough in martial art, the trail started.
During this time, her changes shocked everyone, except his cousin. It seems he already know this would happen. She managed to open up with her family, while also figuring out the hidden current inside the clan. She would occasionally talk with her grandfather and grandmother, sometimes about clan, sometime kingdom, and slowly the time passed.

"Grandfather, I would like to explore the kingdom, as well as wants to go for some adventures."
"It is dangerous outside, what do want, we can order it for you" he said proudly.
"Grandfather, I want to know how outside world look like, how the commoners live, and how other clan manages their territory. Later on, the academy will start, don't you think, if I am already familiar with how the things work, I will do well in academy as well. Here, I will be under your care, so you can help me, but what about the academy, you do know how much restriction they impose on us, especially nobles."
Hearing all this, the old couple fall into deep thought, and sighed, "you go play with your doll. I will talk with your uncle, he is current head of the family."
She smiled, and left the room, looking at her, Grand duchess sighed, "What did she faced to become so mature, so early."
"I just hope, she doesn't face anymore hardship in future", Grand Duke said solemnly, and continued, "but what she said is also true. Academy do have many strange regulation, and sheltering them inside isn't a good option either, we need to consider her proposal seriously."
"How is our 'grandson' doing, I didn't hear anything new from his side", Grand duke asked. "He is unusually quite, not only regularly maintaining same order, but also trying to minimize his presence for now", Grand duchess said. "I just hope, we don't encounter another situation once again, although he do things with good intention, but he forgets to put other people in his consideration."
"By the way, we might welcome new guest soon, our daughter-in-law is pregnant", Grand duchess dropped a bomb to him, before leaving.
