1 Her Hopes

"Mom!" At that time, Greisy was still 7 years old. The little girl looked confused when her mother let go of her hand and left her without saying anything.

"Dad, what's wrong with Mom? why's she looking mad at me?" asked the girl so pitifully, she looked at her mother's back slowly went away. "Dad, where are we going?" However, her question was not answered and her father simply grabbed the girl's hand and took her away from their residence.

Then when she arrived, the girl was surprised because she had been in a place that was not wanted by everyone in the country. The place that even was hated by many people.

"Sir, do tell me the reason you bring your daughter here!" A Military Soldier asked Greisy's father about his intention of letting a little girl lived in a bad area.

Yes,

It was a dumping ground–an Exile Area for citizens who were no longer useful to the country and a training place for nobles who had not been able to master four tribal skills.

"My daughter doesn't master tribal skills even a bit," replied Greisy's father, suddenly surprising the girl who was actually able to master the four ethnic skills well.

"Dad, what're you talking about?" The girl's question was also not answered by her father, "Daddy!" so was her calling. Her father just led Greisy into the main door of the Exile Area and let go of the poor girl's hand. "Daddy!" The man even ordered a middle-aged woman to hold Greisy's body.

"Grei, from now on you will be here!"

"Why?" The little girl's tears rolled down her cheeks. "Why do I get dumped, Dad? haven't I managed to master more than 4 tribal skills? Daddy!" When she was about to run to her father who had stood up, "let me go hiks! Dad, Dad, she's restraining me, Daddy, please help me!" The middle-aged woman seemed to be holding back little Greisy's body. But the little girl's father started to turn around, left his struggling daughter just like that.

In front of several guard soldiers with the main door of the Exile area still open as well as respect for the noble, the man said: "Grei, from now on, you don't need to practice tribal professions anymore, you don't need to try, you just need to survive and live in this place and I will fulfill all your needs!" After speaking, the man began to climb the stairs to go towards the main door of the place.

"Daddy, Dad, Dad, hiks, let me go! Daddy, please don't leave me. Daddy, I beg you, I will not fight you again. Dad, please forgive me, Please, bring me back home!" The girl really looked miserable. Her father even did not turn around and looked at her anymore.

Then, when she was 19 years old. For the first time Greisy's mother came to the Exile area. But...

"Thank you, Madam!" Greisy was ignored and Greisy could only watch, the mother who threw her away was distributing some gifts to the residents of the exile area without flinching her even a bit.

'Why?' she wondered to herself. Why did the mother who let her live in the exile area and didn't allow her to live with her, just ignored her when she was also one of the residents living in the area and deserved to get a gift from her mother?

Greisy could only sigh in resignation when her mother had left, entering the subway without even looking at the woman. That was heartbreaking. It made her want to cry in anger but she just couldn't do it.

"Get out of the way you parasite!" The people there didn't like her either. They hated Greisy for not leaving their territory because she was a royal noble who shouldn't have stayed in the territory for along.

As a noble, why did she have to live in their territory that often lacked food? That was the reason people hate her. Greisy had no other choice but only to settle in the region. Even she had no friends, so where else would she go when her own family dumped the woman and she didn't have much money and food to go.

"Sorry, can you..." Even every time she wanted to say a sentence to someone on her campus, everyone ignored her.

"Will the new network created be able to speed up the AL3W work system?" The questions she asked were also ignored by her lecturer where she studied.

"Even though I have tried my best but why is my paper blank?" The answers she had written down were also not visible in her paperwork.

Then, why was she still allowed to go to college even though her grades were very bad?

"I am done." Despite being neglected and unacknowledged, but Greisy still had a chance to marry a Country Prince. It was an order from the Queen of the Country because Greisy's parents were high class nobles and belonged to the 4 major families that led the country.

She hoped that if one day she married her chosen fiancée, she could get out of the Exile Area and had just one person to talk to. But unfortunately, the Country Prince didn't show the slightest bit of interest in Greisy. Even at the dinner they were having on the Queen's order, the man just left after finishing his meal followed by several Guard Military Soldiers.

Greisy could only grip the fork tightly because again and again, she was ignored. The woman started to stand up and looked down through the glass wall and found her fiancé smiling happily talking to another woman in front of the restaurant.

Why was her fiancé able to talk so happily with another woman but not with her who had hoped to have a good conversation?

Greisy just needed a friend, she didn't want to be silent forever.

She didn't want to talk alone.

She didn't want to be ignored, she didn't want to be dumped.

Why was she different from most other women?

Why did everyone who talked to her always sound angry and disliked?

Then how for her to start the conversation if those who talked just did not like her?

"Aahhh hikksss!" She really hoped for any human who heard her screams in a cave where she used to calm down.

Please, looked at her!

Please, talked to her even if only briefly in a kind way!

Please, didn't hate her!

Please, seen that she had worked hard to master the tribal skills!

Please, "Ahhhh hiksssssssss!" Helped her who felt lonely with her solitude!

After being satisfied with shouting and crying, after her heart was relieved, Greisy who had been sitting on a large rock started to stand up and looked into the cave. She saw the shadow of a man's back, then the shadow quickly disappeared.

Greisy smiled bitterly. In fact, she really missed someone who once filled her loneliness. But her heart began to hate. "Why did he have to leave me? Even though I really need him?" Greisy wiped the tears on both cheeks with the backs of her palms. "Hikss!" But unfortunately, her tears didn't want to stop either, she still wanted to keep crying because her heart was really hurt.

"You have an order to go to the palace, your Lady!" A Military Soldier informed the order then walked to the car and opened the door for Greisy coming inside.

"Why all of a sudden?" Asking it even useless because the Informant would not possibly know the reason.

That was not the first time she went to the state palace because she had studied at a state school in the past. However, that didn't mean she had the right to come through the special route like other royal nobles but only through the back door, where the servants and guards usually passed.

She hoped that one day she could stand in front of the palace and walked to the red carpet. So hopeful that it made she didn't even intend to stop trying her best and be recognized by her own country one day.

Then Greisy was standing in the meeting room between the two families. The State Queen's Family and Greisy's Family to discuss the date of her marriage to the Country Prince.

A little more.

A little more she would surely be recognized. That was what she thought..Greisy started to widen a sweet smile as the meeting room door opened. Then she stepped inside and saw the back of a man she missed so much.

Yes.. She missed her father who was standing opposite her fiancé. She also saw the Queen of the Country and also the husband of the leader of the country there.

"I don't want to marry her, just cancel this match, Mom!" Gone already.

Greisy's hope had now vanished. The woman even stopped her steps and no longer intended to approach.

"What?" The Queen of the Country was no less surprised by the statement made by her son. "What did you just say, Ewald Alley?" the woman asked still in disbelief.

"I don't like her one bit even though I have tried."

Right. Greisy actually already knew that. It was just that her heart were still very hopeful even if only a little. But apparently there was no chance for her to be loved. How was she possible to be loved if she never spoke to the Prince at all?

"I beg you, I beg you not to cancel this marriage, your Majesty!" Greisy's eyes widened when she saw the behavior of the father she missed.

Why did her father do that just to get her married to the Prince of the Country? Could it be that if she managed to get married, she would be recognized by her parents? And if it failed, could it be that she would forever be hated, discarded and ignored?

"Sorry Uncle, i think your dream is too high!"
