"Lord, are you worrying about Lady Willson?" The Butler who knew him too well for his own good said as he smiled.

"Will you believe me if I say I am not..." 

"Of course not."

.

"Hah, I am very much worried about that child she is very much like our Irene keeping a strong front in the light and breaking down in the dark...although that day's situation was so severe that it didn't even took her a second to have a complete breakdown...

.

and as far as I have the Duke...he is not a kind of person who will ever approach you first...hah, God I hope that stubborn jerk won't do something he would end up regretting for a lifetime." Raymond who has been good friends with the duke since his 20s said while Irene who somehow came out of her room listened to their words while clenching her fists.

.

"(Regretting for a lifetime....I don't want that...)" Irene thought while looking at her family and thinking of Rose's condition by keeping herself in her shoes.

.

"What in the world, am I trying to do? Keeping myself in her shoes, what a joke... especially when I can't even imagine the amount of pain she must be going through..." Irene talked to herself as a tear rolled down her eye.

.

"Hah, I must see her...it's okay If I can't comfort her...atleast I can give her a shoulder...or become a person who can accompany her..." Irene thought as she smiled while wiping off her tears.

.

Meanwhile at the Carot palace,

"My Lady, Your Father is here." A maid said as she ran towards Violet room with a cheerful smile.

"Really!" Violet said ad she stood up form wjr sear excitedly.

.

"Yes, really please come down quickly." The maid bot able to control her excitement said as she held her hand.

"I will be down soon but let me fix my hair first okay." She said while pushing the naid out if the door with a smile and the maid followed her words and left as fast as she could.

.

And just like her pace, the smile and excitement on Violet's face also left leaving behind a cold and bitter expression.

"Tch, tch, Violet dear that's not the correct expression a daughter should use while meritng her father." The women form beifre returned through thin air said as she smiled at her and ended up receiving her death stare.

.

"Really, you talk as if you have no idea as to why I am greeting my father with such a grimace expression." Violet said as she smiled at her and a knife flyed towards the women neck.

.

"(The world has always treated me unfairly....and the reason behind it...is unknown to me. No matter what I did everything was always questioned, but that didn't let me down...because I was used to it.

.

After losing my mother whose face is not anywhere in my memory...I grew up with a man who protected me, dressed me, feed me, looked after me...I had no idea why? Until people told me that...he is my father...The only person in this big world to call as my family was him...only him.)" 

.

"You are right, this isn't the way a daughter should greet her father. You know it all, you are so great..." Violet said as she slowly walked towards her with the knife touching that women's pale skin.

"Then why in the world...Did you have to..."

"( Come and take away the only person I had...to call mine)"

.

"Violet, my dear I told you not to play with sharp objects right." That women said as she crossed her fingers and the knife before her dissapered with Violet falling falling into he ground with blood flowing down her mouth.

.

"See, you keep using your newly acquired powers and keep hurting yourself.*wipes off the blood with her hanky* Your powers and emotions should be in perfect balance, but looking at how you can't even stand such a small emotional pressure....I am afraid the future road for you won't be easy." She said as her playful nd witty look was taken over by a worried and concerned look.

.

"J--Just now...where you testing me?" Violwt asked as she looked at her face as something hazy came in her mind making her dizzy again.

"Yes, I was and let me tell you. You badly failed in it." She said while placing her hands infrotn of her eyes while chatting some words.

.

As the chants got faster a green light covered Violet's eyes.

"This will help you with balancing your emotions and powers...and stop tearing up, you are not a kid." That women said as she wiped off the tears from Violet's face.

.

"How could I not..cry? When all I am feeling is to go and just die..." She said as she stood up, wiped her tears and left the room with a smile.

.

"You---are so much like her---" That women said as she stood up took the hanky and dissapered right from there.

.

"Viscount, how long will you be staying this time?" The bulter who was a little older then the Viscount asked as he stoof near him steadily.

"Butler Zack, isn't that a weird question to ask? I returned just a while ago and you are already asking me about her next leave." The Viscount said with his gentle smile and face.

.

"Thats only because, I need to get things ready according to your schedules or else things might mess up and you won't be able to enjoy even one day in Peace." The bulter who is known for his strictness said without noticing Violet's presence behind him.

.

"What does that mean now? Are you trying g to say I am a bad manager?" 

"My Lady! That's not what I mean." He said as he quickly turned towards her and bowed.

.

"Looking at how Butler Zack turned 180° just by hearing Violet's voice, I guess everything is going well here." Viscount said as he rampages through the bagpacks and pulled out a small green box and handed it to violet.

.

"I got this form the most big and costly mart at the northern empire. Do you like it?" The Viscount asked as he looked at Violet slowly opening the book and a smile appeared at her face just by looking at it.

.

"This is a necklace...so pretty but father it's quite long and you know I can't wear necklaces until my coming of age ceremony..." She said while shutting the box and looking at him.

.

"I am well aware fo all those and I bought this necklace for your debut ball. You see this is a special necklace and it has the same flower drawn in it as your mother's name...Daisy..so I couldn't think of anything better then this.

Even if she couldn't accompany you, this necklace would dill up for her absence." He said while smiling and Violet who was touched by his words and efforts was now already in tears.

.

And this tears were not of sadness or happiness but of confusion and guilt which she had been feelings since long with no such thing called escape.

"Father...You loved mother a lot...didn't you..?" 

.

Hearing that question, the Viscount got stunned for a moment and the things on his hands fell in the ground with a loud thud, which surprised even violet.

.

"Violet...why are you asking about this suddenly? Don't tell me! My daughter...Have you taken a liking for someone?" Viscount Carot asked as he held her hands with an anxious face.

.

"How is that even possible!" Violet said as she removed his hands and took the present box he gave to her and ran towards the door.

"Lets go for dinner." 

"Okay" He said and like a rat she ran away rom there while he let out a sigh of relief.

.

"Viscount...how long do you think you can keep this up? How long are you thinking of making her run away?" The butler who was still there with that stone cold face if his said as he looked at his master to him he has been loyal since a young age.

.

"Zack, you are my must trustworthy confident, my sidekick...you know the reason for me doing all this, so why bother asking me again and again? It will only bring some bad memories back..."

"Bad or good...Don't you think the young lady has the right to know them?"

.

"And what after that? What do you think this will lead to?" 

"What I think doesn't matter but as your trustworthy confident and sidekick I must give you a peice of advice and that is be truthful. Who knows thr truth you are trying do hard to hide might become the reason for your relation with the young lady to decline." The butler said as he exited the room leaving behind the visoucnt with a bitter expression.

.

"(Daisy...so thats my mother's name...Daisy Violet...sounds so colorful although they are nothing but monochrome...)" Violet thought as she held the box on her hand and looked at the sky.

.

(A/N: Monochrome means black and white here referring to their life as daisy is dead and Violet is not happy so she calls it monchrome or colorless.)
