After a hot bath, and a cup of hot chocolate. Anthanasia laid down on the bed with a pen and notepad, trying to draw up a reasonable conclusions and proof to why someone would want to poison Jennette, and who or what could be connected to it.
'It is reasonable to think I would poison her, since I’m the one who would get the most out of it'
Anthanasia stood up from bed, picked up a sunny hat, from its stand, carried her notepad and pen in her arms, and secretly slipped out of the ruby palace.
'A little bit of sunshine, will help my brain'
The sky was blue, not a single cloud in the sky, a bright sun, birds chirping, butterflies fluttering in the garden.
If not for her trying to clear her name, this would be the most perfect day.
'I’ve never taken time to admire nature'
A few voices were heard coming from the distance, so she ran very unladylike towards some bushes.
It was the voice of a few of Jennette’s maids, and one voice among them was familiar. She could only get a glimpse of the person before hiding, it was a lady with brown hair, but she wasn’t Jennette. Her face wasn’t seen clearly, but was just in a blur.
“Should we get rid of it?” One maid asked.
“No, you would get caught, leave it as it is” The familiar voice said.
The voices passed and left to another direction.
“Phew” Anthanasia was about to get up from the bushes, then “Ahh!”
Beside her was a man long black silky hair and red eyes, staring at her holding her hair.
“Geesh, you wanna make me deaf” He said while cleaning his ears.
“Wh-who are you?!” And she suddenly launched to her feet. “How did you get into this area?”
“What year is this?” He asked ignoring her questions.
“Wh-what?”
“Hmm, you have a lot of mana, it was refreshing after being asleep”
“Wh, what?”
'This man, I’m sure he’s a madman, but how did he get in?!'
“Mr., this is the ruby palace, palace for the imperial family. You could get arrested for intruding into the palace grounds”
“When did the emperor have a princess” He said standing up and inching his face closer to Anthanasia’s. “You do have the jeweled eyes”
“Mr., I do not like repe-
“Lucas”
“What?”
“Next time we meet, call me Lucas”
“Princess!” Anthanasia turned around and saw a panting Lily. “You scared me for a second”
“I just went for a walk. Could you escort this ma-
No one, except Lily and Anthanasia were in the area.
'He ran away?! No, I didn’t even hear footsteps, he was gone like the wind.'
“Escort what?” Lily asked puzzled.
“Sigh. Never mind” Anthanasia adjusted her hat and turned around. “Could you discreetly find some remains of the poison, the tea cup fell in my room, I hope it isn’t too hard” Anthanasia whispered.
“Of course, your highness” Lily said.
“And, I’d like to go to the emerald palace”
“As you wish, your highness”
'I’ll check what poison was used, but this matter needs to be kept under wraps. Sigh.
The first time I decide to go outside to enjoy the beautiful scenery, I hide from a group of suspicious people and meet a strange yet handsome looking guy. Argh, my life isn’t easy'
