Davin Cairdo Almost Got Hurt Because of Rosaline

Unlike last night, this morning was quite sunny. The dew that sticks to the window panes, plant leaves, and the still-wet soil adds a refreshing coolness. It made the exact twelve-year-old girl look happy. She was running around a tiny tree that was not too tall. Since the sun had not yet risen, she had already opened her eyes.

Her birthday has arrived. Emily Sun Atkinson. The girl can't wait to be the star of her birthday party. A birthday party will undoubtedly be held lively for three days. The crown prince of the Avantazia kingdom, who is three years older than her, is rumored to be coming to her birthday party. So, how happy the young girl was.

But when she remembered someone, Emily's face, which was so cheerful, now turned somber. She walked towards the tower's rear while ensuring no one was following her. Because her mother often forbade her to come to the tower without a companion, even though she had also been provided with a magic-blocking pendant.

It took Emily a few minutes to reach the tower. Then, after arriving at the destination, Emily stopped her steps. The next second, she lifted her head and stared at a window mounted on the tower.

"Roseline, can't you come to my birthday party? I want to introduce you to all my friends and the crown prince," Emily muttered questioningly. Even though her wish will never come true.

Because Roseline Atkinson, who is locked up because her mother is a con fraud, will never be allowed to leave the tower.

Emily Sun Atkinson is not a bad girl. She wasn't as bad as Lady Catherine—her mother—who used to say a lot of hate to Roseline. Emily often comes to the tower when Davin Cairdo, her older brother, invites her without their mother knowing. Her first meeting with Roseline was six years ago when Roseline was fourteen years old and Davin was fifteen years old. Since then and until now, Emily has admired Roseline, who in her eyes was very beautiful, like a statue of a goddess carved perfectly and without the slightest scratch.

"Good morning, My beautiful little sister!" Davin Cairdo suddenly appeared, making Emily quite surprised. "What are you doing here?" He walked over to his little Sister.

And then Emily looked at Davin Cairdo with a sad look. "Davin ...."

"Hmm?" Davin stopped walking when he was beside Emily. Then, he lifted his head and stared at the tower window, which was still tightly closed. "Lucky there wasn't a guard. You shouldn't have come here without me, your elder brother, Emily Sun Atkinson."

Emily's eyes filled with tears. "I miss Rosaline. I want her to come to my birthday party today. I want to introduce my beautiful elder Sister to all my friends and the Crown Prince."

Davin sighed. He crouched in front of Emily and held his Sister's palms together. And then, he smiled. "Girl, listen to me. We can celebrate your birthday up in the tower with Roseline. We've got to keep her out of Mom and Dad's wrath, so you shouldn't force her presence at your birthday party. How about that? Do you understand?"

Emily was forced to nod, although something was still bothering her. "All right, Davin."

"Listen, Little Girl. Don't be sad; I've got everything ready for our little party." Davin stood up and grabbed Emily's arm. "Come on, and you don't have much time. We must hurry to meet your beautiful elder Sister!"

Davin Cairdo wasn't kidding. For the sake of Emily's birthday party with a beautiful girl confined within the tower, he had already prepared a few things. The head butler of the Atkinsons' family residence was currently under Davin Cairdo's control as the house's financial administrator, so the butler could greatly help him. Count Zerach Atkinson also already believes him.

So, Davin Cairdo was no longer a stranger, though he didn't even have Atkinson's blood. With all those lucky, it wouldn't be difficult for Davin to meet Roseline. He has also been equipped with a magic barrier pendant to avoid the dangers of magic surrounding the tower and open the door of Roseline's room in the tower.

But of course, Davin Cairdo had to use a good excuse to confront the few guards at the first entrance, especially when he was with Emily. Even though he was a young master of the Atkinson family home, the guards still didn't give carelessly permit him. Moreover, Lady Catherine must have warned them not to let Emily go upstairs.

Roseline had asked the four maids who often delivered food or various items for her, so they did not come to the tower today. Because Roseline wanted to test her magical energy before carrying out her escape plan, tonight she would run away while her half-sister's birthday party was still going on. And not only did she need to prepare the power of her magical energy, but she needed the plan to avoid getting caught.

Although very large and luxurious, the Atkinsons' family residence was not in the city's center. Nor is it near a dangerous forest. But from the top of the tower, Roseline could see a grove of trees that she remembered was a harmless little forest. Later that night, she would head to that place first.

"I need to be able to overcome the way I emit this magical energy. I only studied through Mom's book for ten years, and I don't know if I did it right. I could die when I tried to blow up this place. The sacred magic that surrounds this place is powerful. However,... wouldn't I be prepared to die if I failed to escape?" Roseline muttered as she looked at her palms filled with a deep blue light.

Roseline had to test her blue light energy again to test her abilities at a higher level. First of all, she must destroy an object. And as she stared at the door that had been locked with sacred light energy Roseline's eyes blinked. There isn't any harm in destroying the lock. If later she could get out of this place and rush down, she could survive the explosion that would enlarge as she tried to counter the magic surrounding the tower.

Roseline swallowed her saliva. Slowly she stretched her arms out towards the door.

And...

"Roseline!"

A shout from someone made Roseline's eyes widen. While she had already directed her blue light magic at the door, she immediately shouted, "Get out of the way!"

Baaam!

That person... Davin Cairdo closed the door he had opened when the magic energy from Rosaline's hand had shot. He threw himself to the left of the door. Luckily, due to exhaustion, Emily was still at the bottom of the stairs.

"Roseline ...? What are you doing?" mumbled Davin Cairdo, his heart beating fast. His breath was ragged.

Then Davin Cairdo tried to get up. He swallowed his saliva as he stared at the doorknob, which was surrounded by not only white light but also blue light.

"That blue energy magic ...?" Calvin Cairdo mumbled.

Quick, Davin Cairdo opened the door again. After that, he looked at Roseline, who was still standing with her hands surrounded by blue light energy.

David Cairdo gritted his teeth. "You ...?"
