Ominous Feeling 4

Dorothy tightened her grip on the blanket that covered her naked body. She stared at Jeames who was snoring lightly next to her. They were inside a simple room— Jeames' room. There was nothing but a small cabinet, a chair, and a bed. Not even a table or a balcony decorated the bleak room. Even the toilet was outside of the room.

Yet, Dorothy found this strangely peaceful.

Dorothy grew up training to become the next blessed one. She woke up at four and started exercising both her mind and her body thinking that she would soon receive the blessing, just like her father and grandfather.

She grew up without friends and spent most of her time learning etiquette and even the languages of the other seven empires. She wanted to become the most powerful blessed person and she was prepared to do everything and anything to make her father and mother proud, to make the Lux Family proud.

Then… she failed to receive the blessing.
