Rachel began to become more and more relaxed within this year, the Prime Ministers family has in some trouble lately. Much to the curtesy of Rachel herself, her father and brother are in much of a panic at trying to address the situation. Her mother who doesn't really understand the situation can only keep quiet.

The trouble, well, evidence of someone selling country secrets was brought up to the King. And now he suspects the family. Her father, the prime minister was panicking, his secret letter had ended up in the King's hand. He must have counted his luck because it didn't implicate him. But now he has been trying to find the spy who gave the letter to the King and try to dodge the King's suspicion.

It doesn't seem like her brother knows that his father is the spy. It looks like he just frightened that the family is being implicated like this. No doubt, he doesn't want to lose his status as a n.o.ble.

In her room Rachel was sewing together with her some cloth, she was making a dress the design sits on a table close to her.

As she pears out the window and smiles, her mother's a lover and it was the young handsome gardener not too far away, they head into a storage room not far from the estate by at the edge of the garden where it is just barely visible. She has been watching closely of the times they would meet for a romantic setting.

It took her a few months to get this pair together secretly, she had even used a little love potion to boost their affair. Her mother of course tried to kill this gardener, but Rachel, had always saved his life. When killing him didn't work she tried to pay him off but ended up rolling in the sheets with him, do to another spell of the love potion. After words and every time, they met, Rachel would blast them with more aphrodisiac. Until, they didn't need it anymore and would go on lovemaking on their own.

Her mother took it well, since the excitement of doing something with a younger man behind her husband's back was making her feel younger. And besides with father being so busy and sleeping with his mistress instead of her she had been rather lonely.

'Right on queue' Rachel thought as she watched her brother and father approach the shed. One of her father's spies is her people so she had him bring information about the shed being suspicious and that it looks like someone would go in them for a meeting. 'I wonder how father would feel about being made to wear a green hat?' she began to use her shadows now that they where out of view. And watched as her father and brother approached the door with a couple of guards.

Once it was opened the adulterous pair who where having a good time, they didn't even stop to notice as they continued in their own little world.

He first one to react was her older brother, who couldn't help of call "Mother". Her mother looked at him at first her l.u.s.t filled eyes didn't clearly see her son. But, when she did, she paled, she noted the familiar figure of the person next to her son but didn't dare to look. Her lover immediately got off her and held up her dress quickly at the interruption and seeing the guards. Before nearly going pale himself at the master of the estates glare.

Rachel had finished her dress and laid it down on the bed while she watching her father go crazy, he had taken out his sword and cut the poor gardener down while her mother was holding onto her husband trying to spare the man's life.

Rachel turned the needle in her hand and dropped it into her shadow. Once the gardener was, he slices his adulterous wife. He didn't notice the needle that was suddenly in her hand nor when has picked him. The guards and her bother didn't know what to do in this situation, when suddenly the prime minister started foaming at the mouth.

The pale face of the prime minister as he glared at his dead wife with a visible needle in her hand, he dropped dead within a second.

Rachel leaned back in her chair as her shadows had retracted back to her, her heart was beating, and her mind was somewhat chaotic before going to a familiar scene. It was Kevin picking up the gun and shooting Wendy repeatedly. The memory kept replaying, until her heart finally settled, and she breathed easier.

The matter was investigated by the King and relatives went to help with the estate. The investigators reported back to him that her mother was having an affair, so father had killed them both but ended up being poisoned by mother perishing along with the adulterous pair. Since their father's death the King had let go of the espionage ordeal, so that the prime minister family may recover.

Rachel's time has been even more ideal since she no longer has to deal with the pettiness of her mother and father. While her brother is overworked handling the estate and dealing with greedy relatives, he hasn't had time to come and bug her.

Rachel still in front of the mirror with a blank expression, this has been her 30th dress. She glances at the Queen who is discussing with the maids on dress she was going to wear for the Prince's Birthday party. Today will be the first day the two will appear together in high society, the Queen had always wanted a daughter to play dress up with. So the women's excitement was understandable especially towards a cute little girl that could wear anything.

A little girl with blonde hair that's becoming refined and glossy, with eyes that where a light green.

Alicia was always beautiful, even more so then Wendy. Wendy never liked anyone more beautiful than her, so she had always made ways to torment said person. It was the same with Rachel's original and she was a bit better than average in looks.

The Queen and maids then walked over for another round of dress up to find the perfect one.

"Oh Dear" The Queen sighed as she sat down "You look gorgeous in everything you wear, how am I supposed to decided" The maids nearby nodded their heads in agreement. Rachel looked down at the lite purple dress she was wearing and then back up towards the Queen.

"You highness, I prefer this dress, the color is my personal favorite" Rachel smiled. The Queen looked up at her and thought for a moment.

"I suppose….Yes, lets go with this one" She agreed which made Rachel feel at ease since she didn't want to spend another hour on dress-up. And not long later her and the Queen walked hand and hand down the hall engaged in a gentle conversation. Until the Prince approached, his face was stunned and went a little red. Seeing her son like this, the Queen left Rachel's side and went to accompany her husband but not after giggling.

"My don't you know its rude to Ogle someone, you pervert" Rachel said snapping the Prince back to reality and making him mad.

"Why must you insult me every time we met?"

"Why must you expect me to not insult you?" She retorted back "My Fiancée is and arrogant spoiled brat, who still hasn't gotten any merit for himself. After a year of reminding him, he is to lazy to do anything"

"You" he was even madder, he honestly tried in the beginning but, none of it didn't seen to satisfy her father nor his fiancée. Even his mother who adores him isn't even willing to give a hint as to what will satisfy these two people in his life. As for everyone else they all thought he was doing good enough. He had never been so frustrated, why are they given him such a hard time, he just doesn't understand.

"tsk" Rachel mouthed 'Ent.i.tled brat, I really don't like people who are like that' thinking that she walked past him "If we delay any further, the people may wonder where the little birthday boy is."

"Little" he said a in an angry tone as he picked up his feet and walked to her side.

"Am I wrong, since you are shorter than me" she commented back.

"You-"

"Their you go, can make a comeback so all you can retort with is You, how stupid"

Before the Prince could say another 'you', they had already reached the ballroom and where now being introduced together officially as a future couple. To the n.o.bles who looked on all where smiles, thought somewhere sinister.

'Now, then Targets of interest' Rachel on took on glance and had marked certain people with her shadows. When her felt a sharp pain in her foot, drawing her attention back to the Prince she was dancing with. 'Did he just….'

Looking at his face he didn't even know she stepped on her foot. She gave him a painfully displeased face and then he frowned in confusion. She rolled her eyes, as the two continued to dance.
