Chapter 1

          " Ahhh....aaahhh...."- The sound of a young woman screaming. Outside, the sky was dark, clouds swirling like a tornado. Duke Lucas Luille's castle seemed to be engulfed in the darkness. "Look! The baby is born" - the voice of a maid to be in the room to take care of the duke's wife for hours. Emma - The 23-year-old princess, wife of the Duke Lucas Luille, and now she officially becomes a mother.

          Do you know? This is a strange world. It is different from all the places people have ever been. This is the era of swords and magic. Every human here, when born, they will have their own system, They will have a certain level of intelligence, agility, health, ... certain. At the same time, that system will grant them certain talents and careers. Like Princess Emma is a magician, she can cast spells, Duke Lucas Luille - her husband is a swordsman, ... Every talent is not the same, it's random, someone has and someone is not. 

          Outside, just at the time of Emma's daughter's birth, a black lightning struck. For hundreds of years, there has never been a natural phenomenon like this. The baby's birth cry resounded. It was a cute little girl, her blond hair as sun-like as her mother, her big round eyes as gray as the sky before a storm like her father. Princess Emma and Duke Lucas Luille nervously waited for the moment when their young daughter's system appeared. The system gradually appeared. But something strange is happening to their daughter. One system, then the second system appeared. A small purple flame flared in the middle of the infant's forehead, the flame disappeared, leaving a small purple flame-shaped seal. Duke Lucas Luille and Princess Emma were speechless and looked at each other, in the end, they still had to look at their newborn daughter's system. Smart : genius lv.max, agility : black panther lv.B, magic : lord lv.C, ... All indicators are high, not too exaggerated to say that their daughter will grow up to surpass the genius of the country. But these numbers are too high for a baby. The last line of the system appears, which is the line that will determine the ability and the future of the baby. A line that both Emma and Lucas were most afraid of appeared.

       Talent: dark magic swordsman, the future: can not be found

      The second system will be unlocked when the owner is ready.

        With her newborn daughter, Emma hugged her husband and cried. Cries echoed throughout the castle. she cried for mercy on her daughter. Why did this happen to her daughter, to her, and to her family? A tremendous power was flowing in her daughter's veins - the power of darkness.  

         In this world, power comes from nature, humans are provided with a mysterious system by a mysterious system. At first, humans lived with elfs, goblins, dwarves and even demons. But because of the war, only humans live here. Elfs live in the Sacred Land where bestowed by nature,  goblins move to live in deep caves in the forest, dwarves come to live in the high mountains of the cold north, and the demons disappeared without leaving a trace. Before leaving, the Demon Lord left a "gift" to man, the power to manipulate and lead the forces of darkness. Referred to as the power of darkness. It sounds like a great power, but this power is very rare, people will kill each other to get this power. And despite this power, if you cannot control it, you will be controlled and become a slave of darkness. 

           Because of this power, the King - Emma's father enacted the rule that all those born with this power must be killed or subject to the control of the Supreme Magic Council. Emma knew that both options were the way to die. If she brought her daughter to the Council, she would have abandoned and killed her own child. The council has a great power but behind it is a place full of crimes, they will dissect her children for experiments, sacrifice and they will turn their children into cold-blooded assassins to work for them. It would be better for her to kill her daughter than give her daughter to the Council. While Emma was in despair, Lucas stared at the child's system. He kept looking at the last line, wondering why the second system didn't work. And why does his daughter have two systems? These things are too strange. All the servants in the house grieved to look at the duke's family. Suddenly, the system popped up and said: "What's the name of the baby?". Emma and Lucas looked at each other, thinking that their children must at least have a name. Elizabeth Luille - every word written by Lucas. This was the name of the first and only queen of this Obelia empire. "My Elly, I will not put you in any danger" - Emma looked at her little daughter and said. A thought passed by for a moment. Emma quickly said to Lucas: "I know an elf named Lyn, she is the patriarch of the elf, she taught me and treated me as her daughter. She was the most powerful and the most intelligent magician. Maybe she'll know how to handle what happens to Elly. ". So both of them went to the Dark Forest  where there was a secret door leading to the Sacred Land - the home of the Elfs. Emma carried Elly and with Lucas into the Dark Forest. In the middle of the forest, there is a secret door to the Sacred Land. Emma chanted the spell. The surrounding trees disappeared, turning into a 68-foot-high door, carved with the characters of ancient magic, the most powerful magic but lost in the human world. The door gradually opened, and Emma and Lucas and their young daughter entered. The door closed and disappeared, the plants appearing as though they had never disappeared. Elfs are raising their swords to threaten humans who have freely entered the Sanctuary. Suddenly one child shouted : "Look! It's Princess Emma!". People gradually recognize Princess Emma - the only person that Lyn teaches magic. They put away the sword and welcomed her and her small family. Perhaps they could not believe that the 5-year-old girl who came here to play with them now had a family of her own. Emma seemed too tired, she was still weak because she had just given birth to Elly, had not had time to rest, but had to come here to beg for Lyn's help.She tiredly asked everyone: "Do you know where Lyn is?". The good elfs took her and Lucas to Lyn's workplace . Lyn is an Elf with great power and wisdom. She lived for over 3000 years, witnessing the battle of good and evil. She saved little Emma from a hungry wolf, from which she treated Emma as her daughter and taught her more about magic. Lyn is currently working. When Emma and Lucas came in with the little girl in their arms, she stopped her work and moved to where they stood. Emma said as if she was about to cry: "Lyn! You are the most powerful and intelligent magician I know. Please help my daughter". She looked at the lovely baby who was fast asleep, the sign of the night shimmering magical light on the sleeping Elly's forehead. Lyn was surprised, she wondered when the weather was unusually full, turned out to be for Elly. For over a century, she has not witnessed a being born with the power of darkness. It wasn't until yesterday that tree spirits exchanged words saying that a child of great power would be born. But Lyn could not believe that it was her only student who would give birth to that child. Lucas could not do anything for his daughter. He could only hope that Lyn would have a way. The mark on Elly's forehead cannot be broken or disappeared. She can only live with her whole life with it.Lyn looked closely at Elly who was sleeping, she inherited all the beauty of her parents, even though she was an infant, but when looking at Elly, Lyn could confirm that this girl would be a great beauty when she grew up.  Suddenly Elly's system popped up. Lyn looked at Elly's hidden system and she smiled,her smile was like she had discovered something. She told the young couple, "Don't worry, this girl has a special fate. No one can harm her, not even destiny." Neither Emma nor Lucas understood Lyn's words. Lyn continued: "I have a way to protect this girl, come home and leave the kid here with me, you will not be able to see her again until she is old enough to hide the system herself, the mark on her forehead and open the hidden system herself ". Lucas and Emma looked at each other and then at their child, the young couple seemed unwilling to move away from their first daughter. As if being able to read their minds, Lyn said, "Believe me, this is the only way, only here she will be safe. Fate will bring her back to you."For the safety of Elly, Lucas and Emma accepted everything, including moving away from their daughter. Before leaving the Sacred Land, Lucas wears his daughter a silver necklace with a Blue Topaz, which is unique to the Luille family, possessing great power but only truly shining when was worn on the neck of the Luille daughter. The Topaz glittered blue light on the sleeping little Elly's neck. Emma and Lucas smiled and placed a kiss goodbye on Elly's cheeks. She smiled because ticklish. Seeing that, the couple didn't want to say goodbye to Elly at all, but they had to leave to protect their little daughter. Lucas and Emma have returned to Obelia, the secret door is closed and everything looks like nothing has happened. Lyn took the baby in her arms and entered the sanctuary. She summoned the Elfs. Lyn made a statement: "From today on, this child will be one of us, she will be with me and learn magic from me. This is the daughter of Princess Emmaly Audre Obelia, now Emma Luille. The name of this child is Elizabeth Luille. This is a child with special powers - the power of darkness. Princess Emma and Duke Lucas Luille have asked me to protect her and I have accepted so I hope everyone will take care of her and teach her with me." The Elfs approached the little Elly, now Elly has woken up. Gray eyes like the sky before the storm looked at the Elfs, her half-closed wet eyes and the baby's smooth and pink white skin and the smiling red - pink heart lips were smiling. She smiled and held the Elf's fingers with her small hands. They smiled back at the little girl and kiss her forehead, the forehead with the glowing seal. Children in this world will be blessed by powerful wizards and fairies or natural spirits. And the child will consider the first person who blesses him or her as his godfather or godmother. And Lyn will of course be the first to bless Elly. Lyn pressed her head against Elly's head and whispered, "I give you innocence and eternal youth, you will always be a positive source of energy for everyone." After saying that she kissed Elly on the forehead, the mark on her forehead lit up as if receiving the blessing of Lyn, Elly smiled brightly.  Then, in turn, the other elfs went to where Elly lay and wished her the best. When the last person to pray for little Elly finished, she burst into tears. Because she had never taken care of a baby, Lyn didn't know why she cried. An elf came up to Elly and said: "Perhaps the little girl is hungry, she has come a long way to here."People quickly took honey from stone bees found only in Sacred Land and freshly squeezed cow's milk and were cooked by Elves, merging into a delicious and nutritious milk. She drank milk and fell asleep. Lyn carried her into her house and let her sleep on her warm bed. She smiled, seemingly dreaming something funny. Elly's small hand gripped Lyn's finger tightly. She watched her sleep peacefully, a sentimental feeling like mother and daughter appeared in Lyn's heart. She thought to herself that Elly must be protected with all her life. Lyn lay down on the bed and hugged the baby to her lap. A feeling of tranquility that she had not felt for years had appeared.  

                                                                ***

        During this time, Emma and Lucas were thinking about Lyn's instructions, her words constantly resounding in the couple's memory:"When you go home, you have to find a child who was born at the same time as Elly, adopt that child and pretend to be your child, you have to deceive everyone and including yourself ". Compared to a weakly woman, Emma was wonderful. Emma overcame difficulties to find a glimmer of hope for Elly to be alive. She leaned her head on the husband's shoulder then cried but this time the tears of happiness. If only Elly could live and be safe, she would be satisfied. She said with her husband all her heart and fell asleep because she was too tired. The carriage stopped in front of the duke's castle, Lucas led Emma down. The servant was upset for the suffering of the duke's family Luille. They were about to ask about Lady Elly but then stopped when the couple returned without Elly. Lucas let the servants take Emma to rest. He told his assistant Hector to find information about all the babies born at the same time as his daughter. Hector immediately went on a search mission. Lucas went to the back of the house to go to practice. He took the sword, poured all his mana into the sword and then repeatedly slashed the air, the wind generated a force so strong that the most solid tree also fell down after being hit by several winds. Lucas collapsed, he dropped the sword. He could not see his beloved wife, a brave princess who always smiled and now, she was heartbroken because she could not see their daughter grow up. He wanted to see his little daughter Elly grow up but could do nothing but bring her to Lyn to take care of her. Now Lucas can only complete the task that Lyn assigned to be able to protect his daughter. Many hours later, Hector returned with the results of his search effort. The search team led by Hector found only one child born at the same time as Elly. A little girl born into a peasant family with 12 children living in the suburbs of the capital of the Obelia Empire. Duke Luille immediately and Hector rode out to the outskirts of Obelia to find her. Lucas rode his horse to full speed to get there after only 3 hours. This is the grape area of ​​the Obelia Empire. Because wine is Obelia's major economic commodity, grape growers are predominant. However, that doesn't mean everyone who grows grapes is rich. The family of the girl Lucas is looking for also grows grapes but due to laziness and having too many children, this family is very poor. Lucas and Hector knocked on the door and entered the house the girl they were looking for. Inside the horribly cluttered house, the children were throwing food on the floor, the husband was holding a bottle of wine snoring like pigs, his wife was putting on make-up, the newborn child was crying because of starvation, dishes unwashed , clothes scattered around and untidy, ceilings full of dust and cobwebs, ... What a lazy family! When the wife saw the duke and Hector come in, she was surprised and then frantically called her husband to wake up. In a fake voice, the wife told Duke Lucas: "Oh! It is a pleasure for our family to welcome the duke." Lucas said in a disgusted voice: "I came here to talk the main thing. I want your youngest daughter to be my child, saying condition." The couple laughed and said, "You can take our daughter but pay us 50,000 gold." Lucas didn't want to say more, he just wrote a pact, said it would give gold to the peasant couple and sign it. He hugged the baby and handed the paper to the couple. before leaving he gave a threatening warning to the two of them: "If you dare to tell anyone this, don't blame me for not warning". Farmers husband and wife accepted the paper in fear. Lucas looked at the child crying from hunger. He looked at the peasant couple and they immediately understood what he meant. The baby was fed immediately stopped crying. Lucas looked closely at the baby, she had red hair and brown eyes, her skin was not too white compared to Elly. He looked at her system board, intelligence and other factors that were nothing special except magic that was a little bit compared to her siblings. Even so, from appearance to talent is not equal to Elly but know how, this is the only baby born at the same time as his daughter. The hair and eyes can be hidden with magic, but the face is not possible, this baby does not have any features like he or Emma. Lucas knew he didn't have much time left, so he didn't think much and quickly turned back. He carried the baby in his arms and rode home with Lucas. The royal family asked to see the child and to bless the child. Lucas had to hurry back, Emma was waiting. 

        Arriving home, Lucas immediately handed the baby to a maid. The servant takes Alice to Elly's old room, prepares for the baby, and quickly prepares for the royal meeting. Alice was dressed for babies, the clothes were prepared for Elizabeth. Alice's hair and eye color have been changed by a maid who can use magic. Red hair turned yellow like the sun's rays and eyes turned gray like the sky before the storm. Upon completion, Alice was taken with Lucas and Emma to the castle to meet the king- Emma's father. Emma wore a white dress, looking like an angel - an angel with a sad face. Sitting in the carriage with Lucas and a maid carrying Alice, she just turned towards the window and didn't say a word.Emma looked through Alice's system, the name Alice Luille made her feel even more sad. Emma said nothing all the way to the palace. Upon reaching, Emma, ​​Lucas and the maid carrying Alice entered the hall. All the guards bowed to the royal family. In the hall gathered a lot of nobles and people to attend the ceremony to bless the first daughter of Duke Lucas and Princess Emmaly. Sitting on the noble throne in the middle of the palace lobby is King Arthur - Emma's father. Lucas, Emma and the servants took Alice to the king, they bowed before the revered king. King Arthur was happy to see his beloved daughter again, and he was eager to see his first granddaughter . King Arthur said, "Come here! Show me my dear granddaughter." Lucas and Emma watched anxiously, the maid carrying Alice came in front of the king. He looked at his granddaughter, it had hair like her mother and eyes like her father. He was happy that the child was healthy, but he did not know it was just the child of two strange farmers. Then he looked at the baby's system. Not surprisingly, the child also had magical aptitude. He was happy to think, "The Supreme Magic Council is wrong. This child is the daughter of Emma and Lucas, the child is not unusual and she does not possess the power of darkness."

        "Your Majesty, this is the strangest natural phenomenon ever. Since the time when Queen Elizabeth sacrificed herself to eradicate the Demon Lord, now I see it again - black lightning." - A member of the High Council of Magic spoke to the king.  This is the time when his beloved daughter - Emma gave birth to her first daughter, also his first granddaughter. He secretly prayed that the person who caused this terrifying natural phenomenon was not his niece.

          In the corner of the auditorium, a Council magician was watching Alice, he looked at her closely and left. The king began the blessing ceremony for Alice. Everyone silent. A royal magician named Anthony was chosen to bless Alice. He was an obnoxious man, his magic was nothing special, but since the family had been magicians for royalty since the time of Queen Elizabeth, he had also become a Royal magician. He wanted his appearance to be spectacular and magnificent so before he blessed Alice he chanted silly spells that made Alice fly into the air and lower her down. For people who do not know magic it is wonderful, but for Emma it is meaningless and exaggerated. Emma was not interested in this at all. She just wanted to quickly end this and return home, she was too tired. After the performance was nothing special, Anthony began to bless Alice. Only powerful mages or special creatures like the elf can grant others a blessing. And Anthony is not one of them. He knew that, so before he went to the palace, he asked his father some power. Now, he stood there, waving his wand and chanting a spell. He said: "God bless you, I would like to give this girl the health, beauty and a little magic ability." Emma looked, she thought: "That's all? it's boring." Lucas and Emma went to the banquet table to greet the guests, they did not pay too much attention to Alice and the maid surrounded by the guests who wanted to see Alice's face. Alice seemed very afraid of strangers always touching her so she cried, the maid named Helen picked Alice up and soothed her. Lucas and Emma saw that and knew it was time to go home. They said: "Thank you to everyone who came here for our daughter's blessing ceremony, sorry that we could not stay any longer." The Duke's family went to the king and said, "Your Majesty, we must return, Alice doesn't seem to like crowded places, when she gets older we will bring her to visit you." They left the hall, out to the palace door. Suddenly Prince Vincent came in front of them. Vincent is Emma's cousin, he will be the future king of Obelia - Not because Emma is Arthur's only daughter so Vincent came to power, because in Vincent converged all the qualities of a monarch.Vincent is over 30 years old. He has a child who is only 2 years old. Vincent is a very straightforward person, so when he met Lucas and Emma, Vincent greeted the two and talked about the main thing with Lucas and Emma:"Cousin! It was good to see them having such a beautiful daughter. Congratulations you two. Actually, I have something to say today. For one thing, Daniel is getting too much attention from other family. Perhaps they knew that I would become the king's successor, so noble families have daughters are planning to make their daughters became princesses. Cousins, you know, Daniel is just over 2 years old. And Alice is a royal bloodline, the name Luille is too noble for ordinary nobles. How would you feel if you engaged Alice to Daniel. Alice is currently getting attention by the Council and if you perform this engagement, I will protect Alice like my daughter ". If Emma and Lucas must be engaged Elly with Daniel, Lucas and Emma would not agree but this was Alice. They will not have to refuse. If more people could hide that Alice was not Elly, Lucas and Emma would not have to waste too much time hiding. They can send Alice to Vincent's mansion as Daniel's future fiance. This is a great opportunity. Lucas and Emma smiled and said yes to Vincent. He seem surprised, because they said yes too easy? This was a mutually beneficial contract anyway, they made a happy deal and left as if they had never met. Returning home, Lucas took Emma to rest. Helen carried Alice to her room. This room was prepared for Elly but now it is Alice's room. The room is wide with sparkling crystal lights, a wardrobe full of baby girl clothes, a large crib with soft pillows and warm blankets, clean and brand-new toys , ... Helen feels sorry for Alice. She was sold by her biological parents and had to be engaged when she was less than a year old. However, Helen also knew the duke's family was miserable. The little Elly girl does not know her parents' face and is not raised in the arms of her parents, the orphan girl because of her strength and another child to replace the identity. Perhaps Alice is not as pitiful as Elly because Alice still lives in one family - Elly's family. In the room, Lucas and Emma were chatting. "Is engagement for her a good thing?" Emma asked, sounding upset. Perhaps Emma didn't like Alice very much and Lucas saw it. He soothed and reminded Emma: "Remembering what Lyn told us, we have to treat Alice like our child and be kind to her to deceive everyone and ... ourselves". Emma said, "But Alice is not Elly." Lucas looked at Emma and sadly said: "Yes, but to protect Elly, we must protect Alice's true identity, do you understand?"Emma probably thought the same way Lucas did. She said, "I understand, for our daughter, for Elly". Lucas probably understood Emma's heart, then he reminded Emma: "Lyn said Elly will come back to us when she's strong enough to hide her power, right? The necklace that I wear for her is actually a treasure of the Luille family. It has been passed down through the generations and only passed to the first daughter. It will light up and treat the wearer as its owner. Emma, do you know what power the Blue Topaz stone has? It will protect and help its owner never run out of mana, the bracelet can also help its owner find its way home. That's why I put the bracelet on her when she was so young. Don't worry Emma, one day our Elly will return home. "Perhaps this statement made Emma more reassuring. She lay down on the bed and said to Lucas: "Thanks Lucas, you are very tired, you should lie down. I have to go to sleep, I am tired. Good night Lucas."Lucas stroked Emma's shiny blonde hair and said, "Good night Emma, dream of Elly and us."
