"If this world is a game and there's many players in this world then a character will have many choosers, do you understand? The same cover with different people behind directing. That's why, kill 'me' if you needed, I'll left you a sign."

That's the first time her teacher talks so much except from the time she teaches her. The girl was overjoyed, she never expects her teacher to give her any advice, even when it's an advice she can't understand.

"No rush, you'll get it when the time comes." The teacher leaves, she returns to her normal self. But the girl never forget that moment ever since.

The moment when her teacher becomes the saddest creature in this universe.

•••

Her secret teacher - the most powerful lady in the empire in the dark, was supposed to teach her brother - the directed heir of the duke title, the royal's left hand.

However, with his stupidity he inherited from her father, teacher has no intention of raising him. Instead, she points her eyes to a marriage material like her - the duke's daughter, which from teacher's perspective, inherited the old duke's intelligent.

The former duke adopted teacher knowing his son will destroy the family's inheritance with just 5 years after ascension. Yet, still give the duke's title to his son and let teacher covers all the hard work. Nobody except some close maids know teacher's existence reason in this mansion, this goes the same with nobles - except the part they don't even know she exists!

"What a shame." She thought. "Teacher could have been the duke."

"It's too troublesome, especially your father. Just looking at him you can sure that he's your grandmother legacy, beautiful but empty."

"But isn't it easier for you to work if you have that title?" It's lesson time today, teacher usually teaches her about politics, she says that with a weakling without financial dependent like her, politics is more important than swordmanship and martial arts.

"You don't need one if you're powerful enough, Ignis." It is a weird close name teacher chose for her when her real name is Uriel.

"Your grandfather is a good illustration, he gets the full power even before your grand grand father pass away. He's a smart one and gifted by gods in this full of aristocrats place. The only mistake he makes in his whole life time is marrying your grandmother. He marries for love and result in a stupid son."

Even when grandmother is popular in society for her beauty, her intelligent is not. However, with that beauty of her she possessed to seduce her grandfather and become the duchess of the royal's left hand.

"Your entire family used to be bless with smart kids playing around with human's minds, now is cursed by that long time blessing I'm afraid."

Teacher loves mocking, especially when she humiliates grandmother. It is suprised enough that teacher can't endure her hatred toward somebody, not to mention to hate someone out loud.

"Grandmother's foolishness must be greater than what I thought." Uriel never really talk nor meet her grandmother as to her family she's only a marriage material. However, her grandmother adores her brother, she's clinching on him for affection.

It is sad enough to know grandfather dies a few days ago, he's the only one in the family except for teacher realizes her talents. And now she has to endure that loneliness her family give her, life is hard enough with grandfather's protection.
