## **Summary**

Florentia wakes up dazed on top of a book in the library. She sees her father sitting next to her reading a book, she calls out to him. And he answers. She is instantly surprised awake in shock.

She remembers now - she was hit by a carriage, so why is she in the library? And why is her chair so tall? But more importantly why is her father alive? Can a flashback be this vivid?

Such an unusual situation, at that time there was only one thought filling Florentia's mind. She needs to get out. She quickly excuses herself from the room.

Giving the room a quick glance she realizes that the classification numbers above the library's bookcases are what they were before she had changed them. And if her memory was correct next to the library there should be - A Guest Room!

She goes inside and finds a tall mirror in the room. She is shocked to realize just how small she is. This body is weak and she is exhausted from the short trip there. Florentia collects her thoughts and remembers that she got severely hurt when she tripped and fell on the day she turned eight. But there was no scar - then that means she hasn't turned eight yet.

She laughs at the thought that her reincarnation was followed by regression. In a moment of calmness she looks outside the window of the room and sees the trees outside. Those trees were cut down after Viese became the head of the family.

The trees that the First Emperor sent over to celebrate the completion of the Lombardi mansion. Yet, as the head of the family, Viese cut down all those trees, and Florentia's uncle Laurels was busy trying to appease him. Florentia thought they were all cold-blooded.

Although her father was weak he was also very knowledgeable to the point that the Academy wanted him. If he hadn't passed away so early. A sudden thought strikes her. Her father passed away due to an illness right before she turned eleven. And the cure was developed a few years after that. That's what happened originally. But right now - could she save her father? She can save him, she doesn't have to lose him - she cries as she realizes what a blessing this regression is. With the knowledge she possesses from the past she can change it. And she can also save the Lombardy family.

She looks at the front gate of the Lombardy mansion and recalls painful memories of the families downfall. She calms herself with realization that it hasn't happened yet. For now she has to stop Viese from becoming the head of the family.

Viese's wife, Selal, and the First Prince's mother, the Empress Lavini Angenas Durelli, are cousins. So it was obvious why Viese rooted for the First Prince to be the Crown Prince. But he didn't know that the First Prince was not suited for such a position.

She racked her brain trying to find a person who isn't Viese, who wouldn't harm the Second Prince. She recalls her grandfathers words to her - "Had I known earlier that you had this much skill, I would've passed the family over to you..." Should she do it? She wouldn't make the same mistake with the Second Prince, because she already knew that he will become the Crown Prince. And she could even make it better by connecting with him beforehand. She can use the information that she knows about what's going to happen 20 years from now. She decides to give it a try with a declaration - "I shall master this family." But to do that she needs to gain her grandfather's trust.
