Sage awakens in her body in the Aethoria Empire after a 27-year absence on Earth, where she died during a concert.

 With her memories of her life in Aethoria faint due to her prolonged absence, Sage sets out to uncover the truth behind her mysterious three-year coma and the incident that caused her to faint. 

Determined to protect herself and those close to her from potential threats, Sage navigates her way through the complexities of her past life, seeking answers, justice and revenge.

The Noble Lady's Reckoning

"Where is she?!" A young boy with an uncanny resemblance to the girl, looked around with a panicked expression. The young girl slowly walked through the space to get outside, but as soon as she moved,the young boy's voice rang out, and she was trapped in a pair of warm arms.

Hearing that name, strange images flashed by her mind. Unconsciously, tears ran down her face as she hugged the young boy back, "Kaius?"

The boy let go of her as he nodded heavily. A soft smile framed her face, as she rubbed his head. "You've grow taller,"

The maid and Kaius stared stupidly at her. Laughing at them she softly said, "I'm back, and I am going nowhere,"

After Kaius, three more people came into her room. The entire family came to meet her. Of course, a doctor was invited. After the family personally heard the diagnosis, they told her to rest and went out to do something.

Though lonely, she only smiled and waved them off.

After everyone left, she walked towards the mirror to see her reflection. Standing in front of the mirror, she gently touched her pale face. 'Rembrandt Sage Argent,'

Taking in a deep breath, she thought, 'I thank who ever brought me back to my body. This time, those greedy idiots will not go scott free,'

A dark glint flashed in Sage's eyes as a brilliant smile filled her stunning face.

"It best we keep Sage's awakening enclosed until we find out what happened that day," Rowan Ezra Argent, the head of the Argent family and Sage's father declared as he held both his hands under his chin.

"I agree with you father, I will personally investigate this issue," Kaius huffed, placing his right hand on his chest.

Looking at his brother and father, a young man with white hair similar to Sages sighed. "Have you asked for Sage's opinion?"

The animated duo stopped talking. "Yes, Zephyr is right. Have you asked Sage?" Sage's mother, Ophelia Lyra Argent, asked as she smoothed her light blonde coloured hair.

Letting out a soft sigh of relief, Rowan announced, "Come in,"

The door opened as the old butler bowed as he stood in front of Rowan. "Your royal highness, Marques and Marchioness Dufort, request an audience with you and Her royal highness,"

"The Dufort family? Did they say what they wanted?" Ophelia questioned as a frown framed her sharp yet dainty eyebrows.

"No, your royal highness, they did not," the butler shook his head.

"Hmm, you can go. Oh and lead them to the meeting chambers. " Rowan dismissed.

Getting up from his chair, Rowan made his way towards the chambers with his wife and two sons in tow.

"Will you really do this?" the lady asked

"Yes, there is nothing you can do to change my mind," the man answered with resolve.

"I hope you did not wait long Marques and Marchioness Dufort,"

Both husband and wife stood and greeted Rowan back. Taking his seat, Rowan signalled them to sit down.

"So, what calls for this unplanned visit?"

Looking at each other, Marques and Marchioness Dufort figgeted as they looked back at Rowan and his family.

Clearing his throat, Marques Dufort announced, "I came to visit to call... of the engagement between my son, Casper Reed Dufort, and your daughter, Lady Rembrandt Sage Argent."
