One day I got the news of the death I knew was coming. Sara’s parents had died. I became 7 years old, And they died right after my birthday.
The coffins were all set up, filled with white flowers and bouquets. Lying there were the couple who saw Sara Tatiana like she hung the moon for them - Shana and Keith.
After the last offerings, the coffin was buried. The guests to the funeral were a sea of people, clad in black and wearing the same spectrum of sadness on their faces. I couldn’t recognise any of them, and nor did anybody stand out.
Soon after the funeral, I was escorted to the main building by the Tatiana family butler, to see the will left by my parents.
The Secretary of Papa Marquis started reading out the will.
"As per the wishes of Head Tatiana and Head Lisbonn, it is stated clearly in the will that their daughter, Lady Sara Lisbonn Le Dume Crensia Tatiana will receive all the fortune of the two houses as well as the status of a Marchioness. There is a personal letter written by her parents" she handed me the letter briskly, and that was all the hearing of the will entailed. There were no protests or checking, I could see the crowd of nobles dissipating as quickly as they had gathered.
"The will should be different" I mumbled, alone in the once occupied room..
To my great surprise, I got both of Sara’s mother’s and father’s titles. Stuck in the body of Sara Tatiana, I expected to be the Head of the House Tatiana but not of Lisbonn.
For heading the estates, I had to study subjects like Magic, History of House Tatiana and Lisbonn, Commerce. I was about to be welcomed to the history of how my family was related to the royal family. I was to learn all about the Black forest.
My magic was now 9m. Too great for a person like me or else I would have disappointed Sara.
The Imperial family offered to adopt me but I politely declined it.
