Claire Decian is a member of the Bloodsworth Dukedom; the eldest daughter, actually. But she was adopted by the retired duchess, so she is not seen in high regards by the current head of the family, Duke Harold. Claire, however, doesn't let this bother her, and is fine with letting Euphemia take the main lessons for becoming a duchess. This means Claire has more free time on her hands than the other heirs as she has completed her training in swordsmanship and magic; excelled in it. She spends this time seeing how the commoners in Tarel are doing and fixing problems the other Bloodsworths are "too busy" to bother with. These are stories about Claire Decian when she was a teenager before the Kageko choose to sacrifice the wrong child. Things were rather peaceful when Tarel was still standing, and Claire Decian was still alive. (Short story of a book, The Decian Empire, I'm writing that's a cross of Pandora Hearts and Black Butler so inspiration and some terms' credit to Jun Mochizuki, Yana Toboso) One of my first books, so it's kinda bad and most likely edited constantly and not getting finished anytime soon
