The young Dorothea was rather confused as everyone in her home was hastily preparing for something. She had not seen everyone be this on edge in a while, last time was Floris’s birth. Her father had a face filled with concern. [color=86608E]“Vati, why is everyone busy?”[/color]  [color=cbb8cf]“Ah, Dorothea… A very special guest is coming to meet us…”[/color] The man was practically shaking, causing the young girl all the more confusion.

Time passed and passed until a carriage arrived. A young woman left the carriage and presented herself with quite the presence. The woman walked towards Dorothea’s father, never losing eye contact with him. [color=bc0f46]“Hermann Hohnstein, It’s been quite some time since we last met. You’re growing old.”[/color] The woman told the man with a judging look. [color=86608E]“Vati, who is that?”[/color] Dorothea asked, causing her father to sweat bullets. The woman looked towards and kneeled down at the girl. [color=bc0f46]“My name is Annalie, Annalie Rednitz. I-..”[/color] [color=86608E]“Bad Rednitz! You bully Vati!”[/color] Dorothea hit the woman on the shoulder. Everyone was on edge, waiting for Annalie’s response. [color=bc0f46]“Hah! Your little girl has spunk, Hermann! Did that come from her mother?”[/color] The Rednitz heir laughed as she grabbed the girl’s hand softly. Hermann could do nothing but nod. 

A warm smile appeared on Annalie’s face. [color=bc0f46]“What is your name, girl?”[/color] [color=86608E]“Dorothea!”[/color] The young girl stuck out her tongue. [color=bc0f46]“Hello, Dorothea. I am a good friend of your father.”[/color] Annalie held her hand on top of Dorothea’s head. [color=bc0f46]“Do you want to be good friends too?”[/color] The young girl did not answer, causing the woman to stand up. [color=bc0f46]“I have to discuss something with your father now… I’m sure we can become great friends.”[/color] And with that Annalie and Hermann left.

[color=bc0f46]“This facade is ruining Feska as we speak!”[/color] Annalie let out a frustrated sigh. [color=bc0f46]“How can nobles be such idiots in things their family worked on for decades. Ah, if only I could just get rid of them.”[/color] The woman thought to herself for a while longer before revealing a sinister grin before looking rather disappointing. [color=bc0f46]“That could work if that moronic man wasn’t so weak… He would never use his name to his advantage…”[/color] The Rednitz matriarch tapped her foot in frustration. 

[color=bc0f46]“But if I get rid of Hermann, I can use one of his Children instead…”[/color] Her train of thought furthered. [color=bc0f46]“The son is almost as weak as his father is… but he might be worth shaping. His daughter might show some promise… She’ll use her name with as much as a small push.”[/color] Annalie laughed as a plan formed in her mind. [color=bc0f46]“Ah, my little gift of Oraff! I’m sure you can become a great puppet!”[/color]
