Laria tried raising her hand, and there was no reaction. No aura, no magic, no ice. She put her hand on her head, thinking of something.
The Fordenn Sisters decided to keep the awakening of Tiara, as it will be their trump card if the crisis arises. Many want to seize the power, and Laria will protect her sisters at all cost.
"Power... Power! I need power to protect my sisters!" she stay still in the edge of her bed, and at lost.
"I have a great talent for making plan for everything, just why I cannot make it in action..." she started biting her finger due to frustration. Truly, Laria was born with a complex problem solving skills and planning; but not all methods in her mind is morally righteous.
She have a principle that has been holding her down. Her mother's voice keep ringing in her mind to not do something that will harm others.
"If only you did not die, mother..." tears started flowing from her cheeks. "Now, what should I do? Won't you help me?" frustrated, she laid on her bed, and while thinking so deeply she fell asleep.

"What did Laria did to you, auntie?" with her crimson red eyes, and ocean blue hair, he gritted his teeth and examine his Auntie, with bruised all over her body.
"She slapped me, hit me, and embarassed me in front of the servants! I need justice, your Majesty!" she shouted in pain while lying on the bed.
Kaizer Hernaioux Eternal, the 2nd prince of the Kingdom, second in line for throne. He was the nephew of Consort Pamela.
His mother, Noble Consort Klara, is the sister of Pamela. The King saw her in the banquet, and after keep pursuing her even though she is in countryside. To seize more power, the Viscount was able to wed Klara to the King.
However, the King is a trash bastard. Once he is over with his obsession with the woman, he will throw them away. And that's what he did.
Noble Consort Klara is a beauty that appears once in a while. Marquis Fordenn, who was awestruck in her beauty, talk to the King to take her as her wife. Of course, Laria, who was 10 years old by then, opposes. But what can she do? She is just a child with no power. And her mother, who died after giving birth to Sierra, told her to live.
And she will die if she opposes her father. What's will happen to her other sisters then?
"That b***h who killed my mother is now attempting to kill my Auntie!" he gritted his teeth in anger. "Don't worry, Auntie Pamela, I'll deal with that b***h!" and with that he left.
No one knew what he was planning to do with Laria.
But as cunning as she is, she expected everything to happen.
"Come in," she said. Wearing a plain commoner dress, she entered a house in the slums and bow, "Greetings, Leonardo, the fallen Knight of the Empire," she smiled brightly after and Leonardo flinched at her audacity.
"Ha! How dare ya- a young lady- address me that way!" he drew his sword and point it to Laria. However, Laria did not even move an inch.
"I have something for you," she smiled brightly, but to Leonardo, it was a threatening smile.
"Such impudence!" he was about to cut her neck when a cool sensation enveloped his arms, and in a blink of an eye, it is frozen. Tiarra make him kneel in front of Laria.
"I said I have something for you," Laria pull out a gold envelope in he rpocket. "Make sure to use it well."
After that, they left as if nothing happened. Laria noticed that Tiara using her magic is effectively well, and she is honing it to the best of what she can.
But she is sure that there is something more in the power of their family.
"Tiara, we need to visit our family heirloom property," she said while Tiara is busy eating chicken skewers.
"Okay, but are you not busy?" Tiara asked because it is far away from there.
"It's okay, it's my vacation anyway," Laria think that this is the utmost priority, and can turn whatever situation upside down. She need to know more about this, and is sure that it is not only ice.
Something special... Something ominous...
