Kaylee walks in the crowd silently, hiding her presence to everyone.

Arriving at the front gate of the Rutland Kingdom, she smiles.

"This will be the start of my new identity, Hyly Dream." She whispered and enters the gate unknowingly.

"Buy one take one!"

"Twenty percent discount!"

"Young ladies, jade's accessories!"

"This is not valid! Get me another!"

The market in Rutland Kingdom was noisy, in every corner, people yell to make their products sell and known. Some costumers are not even satisfied and turned their tables,  showing that they have power. It makes the seller nervous and scared silly.

Kaylee did not care, it is not her business, why would she care? She did not want to put herself in a tight situation... She is too lazy to do it. Especially if she isn't interested.

"Young miss! Please have mercy! Please have mercy! Mercy!" A small girl wears an untidy and dirty clothes kneels in front of a noble lady while ordering her personal maid to punish the dirty girl in front of her.

"Mercy?! You ruined our young miss Sunset Pisces Dress! It is worth more than a million!" She said in a very angry manner while whipping her whip to the maid. Kaylee once again looks at the dress and there she saw a tiny dirt in the young lady's dress.

Swissh!

The girl saw that it was no use to ask for mercy, so she stops crying and her real self shown. Her lips curve upwards as if she did not care. Her face was now full of calm as if the pitiful her did not exist.

Kaylee stares at her green eyes, it was full of stubborn and rightfulness. It makes Kaylee gave a thumbs up to her. Suddenly, her eyes flashed.

"Excuse me." Kaylee walks gracefully to them and stops in front of the pitiful-stubborn girl. "I want this girl." She added and look straight to the noble young lady opposite her.

"How dare you interrupt us!? Do you know our young miss?? Our young miss is the well-known eldest young miss of Bue Family, Cheska Andrela Bue [Bu-we]. You are only a commoner, what rights do you have?!" The servant of the noble young lady said angrily while pointing her finger at Kaylee.

"Enough!" Cheska Bue said in a soft manner. She walks slowly to Kaylee until she stops three steps away from her.

"May this young miss know who are?" She asked polite and secretly glance at her up and down... She felt an aura that is similar to a royal. She looks at Kaylee's face... It was delicate and average... But why those pair of eyes are mesmerizing? To the point she almost forgot her name?

"This young miss is from another country far from here... My name is Hyly Dream." Kaylee answered calmly.

"Dream? That's a very unique last name. I did not heard of it... I guess this one lacks knowledge about the world." She said.

Kaylee smiled. "You are right. If you are wasting your time, please find a new clothes and a little bit cheap,  a good clothes that is suitable to wear outside a place like this. Are you planning to ruin your clothes?" Kaylee looks at her up and down. It is indeed a dress suitable for parties like engagement... Did she not want to marry?

In every party there are different kind of dress codes... And most of the dress has meanings. If you are wearing a royal dress, you should only wear it when you are attending your birthday party, or entering a castle indicates that you have a noble background that needs to be well respected... If it wears outside the castle like markets indicates that you are visiting a commoner and to make the commoner known of you... You will be the center of those eyes.

If you are wearing an expensive dress like Cheska Bue wears, especially if it has a name like Sunset Pisces Dress and wear it outside especially markets, indicates that you want to know the world that you are engage but some of them have intentions to break such as dirtying it's clothes.

Cheska Bue was stunned. "No... I'm not..."

Kaylee smiled and did not let her to continue to speak. "This girl is now in my hands.... Mine! Any objections?" She asked while staring seriously as if she wants to suck her up completely that makes her lost her breathings.

Cheska Bue shook her head. "None. May this one leaves first."

She was about to walk out when her maid cried.

"Miss! That dirty girl and that average commoner should be punished! Why did yo–"

"Shut you mouth! When we get back to the mansion, get your punishment!" She angrily said while dashing off, making sure when she turn back, she will not sea Hyly anymore.

Kaylee looks st the girl staring at her with a pair of shocked and awkward.

"What's your name?" Kaylee asked her.

"This commoner has no name. This one is only a servant's child to begin with and was sold out by my parent's master only to have money." The girl stares at her daring to let Kaylee look into her eyes.

Kaylee chuckled. "Indeed. Born from a servant's tomb, no wonder you have no name but with that pair of stubbornly eyes. I like that."

Kaylee held her hands to let her stands up. She get her own handkerchief to wipe the blood besides her mouth. "This one don't need a help from a noble. This one is dirty, may ruin miss reputation."

Kaylee laughs. "Are you willing to follow me?" She suddenly asked that makes the girl froze.

"Follow?" The girl looks at Kaylee's pair of blinking eyes... She can't help but nod in agree. She did  not know why, that pair of eyes was enchanting and can't hard to resist but nod in her wishes. However, she did not regret... And maybe, she will never going to regret it.

Kaylee smiled once more.

"Starting today, your name will be Merlin. You will learn many things from me, serve me, and most of all, be loyal to me. What I hate the most is betrayal." She said.

Merlin was very happy....

Finally, someone named me!

She kneel down and bow trice.

"This servant greets young miss!!!"
