Abigail pov ltd.

I woke up with the birth of the sun in the sky. The sky was still red and beautiful. But soon it would be filled with the brightness of the sky, just like my life.

Today was the day when I would officially be announced as a knight. A big smile formed on my lips. As i realised i would be very close to my goal then. I looked at the bright and shining uniform on the closet that I would wear from now on. It has a sign of a roaring dragon on it. A sign of the royal palace.

Soon, I will be a part of it too. And after the entrance exam tomorrow, I will be taken as a knight in the academy too.

I dressed up without waiting for Beth to come and help me. And when I was ready, I looked at myself in the mirror. I was looking perfect, and I felt proud of myself.

"Someone is too happy today" I heard Nick talking behind me and I smiled.

"I will be a knight finally, Nick" my voice could not contain the excitement and glee i was feeling when he chuckled.

"Yes, the youngest knight in the history of the empire. Moreover the only knight who had defeated the most famous knights of the empire." my chest swelled at his compliments. Though I knew it was not enough, I still wanted to be happy for a while.

"Let\'s go. I did not want to be late for the ceremony today." I said as he started chuckling over my excitement.

He nodded and we both walked out of my chamber. I looked around to see father but he was nowhere to be seen. 

As if sensing my gaze, Nick replied, "father is commandant of knights Abi, he needed to reach before everyone to see the preparations and handle everything personally. Ou will meet him there eventually.\'\' Though he was assuring me, he was looking apologetic.

I knew my father was not satisfied with my decisions. So, I was assuming he would be a bit angry. I sighed and let the matter go for now. I would explain to him my choices later when he would be in a better condition to listen. We both sat in the carriage and soon reached the palace. Though the journey took the usual hours, it felt like it took ages to finally reach there.

The hall was filled with grandeur. There were all the knights of the royal palace present except the one who was guarding the door. A group of 6 men and two women were there dressed in the knight uniform. They were all winners of the competition that I had won.

  Josephine was also standing there in the knights uniform. She looked at me and smirked when I bowed while holding my dress.

"Your royal highness"

"Glad to see you are finally here, Abi."

\'Abi! Did she just call me intimately! That is also so sweet!\' instead of feeling better i felt my skin crawling. She must take revenge from me during this period.

"I have never thought that you would be participating too, your highness" I ignored the way she called me and maintained the formalities. 

"Well, since I have won the competitions, why not take the medal and position? If I ever needed it, at least I would have a back up plan for my life." the way she said that, it felt like she was in pain.

And why in the world would a princess need to be knighted as her back up plan!

"I assure you that you would never need a back up plan, in fact, i assure you that you would lead a happy life." though in her last life she died too, i would assure that it would not happen again. All of our lives were tangled with each other. So, I had to make sure that no one of us would create a chance for Gerard to get in power again.

She blinked as she looked at me and then chuckled as if she had heard the biggest joke of the century!

"Little girl! It would be better if you worry about yourself. Handling me for even three hours is not something anyone can do." she commented with a smirk and I nodded.

"But Leo is handling you 24/7. And i didn\'t even see him worried ever.\'\' I noted and the smirk on her face faded.

Guilt passed on those beautiful eyes for a second before it disappeared and she looked haughty again.

"You would realise when you see for yourself" she replied and before i could say anything. The sound of drums filled the air.

The announcement of the emperor and crown prince was done. And soon the main door of the hall opened. The emperor appeared with a proud face, followed by the crown prince who was rather lazy. His eyes were dropping as if he would sleep any moment. Behind them was my father. In his uniform with several gold medals adorning him. I felt proud when I looked at him in his glorious form.

I smiled as they all took place and soon the announcements started.

They started calling all the knights one by one. Each night took an oath of serving the empire and the emperor with body and soul, and prioritised their lives over his own.

  Then they walked towards the emperor and the man used his sword to tap the shoulders of the knights. After that they were announced as knights.

The next turn was of Josephine who was looking at everything with pensive eyes.

"Are you not going towards the hall?" I asked as she did not move even when her name was called twice. 

"I think you were right." she said out of the blue, making me confused. I looked at her as she tried to look at me.

"I did not need to be a knight as my backup plan. I need to be stronger and braver."
