According to novel, the male lead MIKHAIL VON LEVENTHIS fall in love with LARA after graduating from the ERIS ROYAL ACADEMY. *ERIS ROYAL ACADEMY* The most prestigious Academy in LUNARIS EMPIRE. In this Academy only Aristocrat families children can admit. This academy is under Royal Family. After graduating from this Academy, Mikhail come back to LEVENTHIS Dukedom & fall in love with LARA at first sight. But LARA was afraid of him as he was very superior then her. So, she tried to avoid him, which made him angry & made him obsessed with her. Wanting to possess her, he did all kind of wreaked things such as physical & mental abuse, threating her that he will kill father & he end up doing that. Ivylina don¡¯t remember everything but she still remember their first met was when LARA become 12, he come to the dukedom for a vacation. So, Ivylina need to make sure that this time she don''t end up meeting with him. She still have 10 months in her hand. ¡°Aa, Lvy. Why aren¡¯t you sleeping?¡± ¡°Oh. I was going to. But I''m thinking about our future.¡± ¡°Am i there? In your future?¡± ¡°No. I guess.¡± ¡°Ah¡±, Lara Isn''t saying anything. Ivylina guess that she is hurt. *I''m sorry Lara, that''s what i can do now.* ( in Ivylina''s mind) ¡°We should sleep. If you stay here be healthy, so that you can help dad in his job.¡± ¡°Yes. I''ll do my best.¡± *At morning* Stolen story; please report. While eating ¡°Dad, i plan to go into EDEN ACADEMY.¡± ¡°EDEN ACADEMY? Ivy, are you sure? It¡¯s as prestigious as ERIS ROYAL ACADEMY.¡± ¡°I know. I''m also planning to take admission exam with Lara¡± ¡°With Lara? She came here just yesterday.¡± ¡°But i don¡¯t know how to read or write. I also heard that the admission exam is too hard as it gives scholarship to commoners.¡± ¡°Yes, I''ll tutor you. So, don''t worry. But remember you only have 11 months. ¡± *EDEN ACADEMY* As prestigious as Royal Academy. But It''s run by the magic tower. People from aristocrat family & commoners both are allowed to admit here by taking admission exam. People with talents are greatly valued here. According to Ivy, If she made her (L) busy with study, she won''t end up meeting him. With this way if she get admit, Ivy hope that their 1st & 2nd meeting will become a massive change. Lara is introduced to the Duke household. People & maids started to love her so much. They love her more then Ivy, as she always stay at home or EDEN Library. Eden Academy have two library. One is open to everyone & another is inside the Academy only for academic students. Ivylina really love to study in this world. Magic is so cool. This world have magic unlike her past life''s world. But this world isn''t as advance as her past world. Mathematics is hard & Alchemy too. As a result, she got a chance to use her past life''s knowledge & became one of the best thesis & theory writer in Science subjects. Lara helps father in the duke''s garden just as like she read in the novel. She let her do this, with this she I''ll gain more knowledge about Botany. Ivy is more into Mathematics & chemistry. So, she know in which side she need to focused more. She was happy thinking that everything is going according to her plan, forgetting about the ¡°Butterfly effect¡±. As a result, she lost to destiny & that''s how the male lead & female lead made their first ever meeting. That day i feel how helpless i''m against the destiny. Mikhail was meant to come in dukedom at December, believing this fact Ivy was careless. She forgot that she have changed the novel''s contains. Because of her carelessness, their meet happened before novel''s timing. *In the middle of the September* ¡°Oh, Ivy are you gonna buy this books?¡±, the librarian asked her. He managed her a lots of secret private tutoring to Aristocrats¡¯ children. Ivy tutor them as "NIA"; that famous publisher who published her 3 books that are now teach in both Academy, in Biology ( Genetic), in Math ( New formula in Algebra, which she learned in my past life''s school in 6th grade), in Chemistry ( New formulas in Organic chemistry, that wasn¡¯t invented here yet) ¡°Yeah.¡± ¡°You are buying Botany books more then Math & chemistry?¡± ¡°Yeah, for my sister.¡± ¡°Oh, what about your tutoring? Those aristocrats¡¯ are really different right?¡± ¡°As long as i earn money. They are good at least they respect me.¡± ¡°Then it¡¯s good. Let''s go I''ll drop you at your home.¡± ¡°Nope. I brought my bicycle today & I''m not going home today.¡± ¡°So, you are going to Duke house?¡± ¡°Yeah¡± ¡°Ok¡± She was happy untill she learn the fact that, that day Lara is going to meet him that''s how her belief shattered.
