Second Chance

chapter 10

"amelia!" Jennette shouted at she ran over to the young maid and jumped into her arms, amelia immediately set down her stuff and squatted down to catch her and they embraced warmly.

Amelia laughed "hello again princess" she smiled, squeezing Jennette's small body a bit as they hugged.

"You act as though you haven't seen me in months" Amelia patted her head as she went to Stand up.

Jennette looked up at her, large eyes sparkling as she spoke "it's been two days!" She exclaimed "I know princess, I know. But I had to work everything out with your aunt and prepare my stuff" amelia said.

Jennette nodded in understanding, "princess Jennette" a male voice called to her. Jennette turned to look up at the voice "ah?".

A butler walked over to them and bowed "the maids have prepared your lunch out In the garden" he said. "Oh, thankyou" Jennette bowed back at the butler.

"W-will papa be joining me?" She asked the man. "Im sorry princess but I'm not to sure". Jennette's shoulders sagged and nodded in understanding "oh ok".The Butler bowed again apologetically.

He then turned turned to amelia "If I may carry your stuff to your room miss?" He asked. "Oh yes, of course thankyou".

Amelia picked up one of her bags and the butler walked over and picked up the other two of them "follow me" he told her before walking off.

Amelia turned to Jennette "go on and have your lunch, I'll see you soon" she tucked a strand of Jennette's white hair behind her ear and turned to walk off with the butler to put her stuff away.

A few minutes later

Jennette sat on a chair that sat outside In The garden Infront of a table of food,,,and another empty chair.

She had her knees pulled up and her small arms wrapped around them hugging her knees to her chest as she stared absence mindedly at her food.

' he's not here' she thought to herself 'he didn't come, and now I'm eating alone,,,,I guess that's nothing new' Jennette rested her head on her knees.

"At this rate I'll just end up like the original Jennette in The Bloodied Throne" she spoke aloud to herself as she fiddled with some of the cherry blossoms that fell onto her knees.

It was almost winter and the cherry blossom tree that was in the garden had began to bloom, it indeed was a very beautiful sight.

But Jennette could not focus on anything else at the moment. Her stomach was empty but she didn't want to eat.

A small sigh escaped he'd mouth ' not even emperor Claude wanted to spend time with me in all honesty, falling asleep at every chance he got' she thought ' but that's not his fault, he seemed very tired'.

"Hey!" Jennette lifted her head to look up at the person calling her name and spotted Elijah. His black hair ruffled around in the wind as he made his way over.

'huh? What's he doing here?' she thought, watching the older boy March over to her in confusion.

When he was finally close enough he crossed his arms together Infront of his chest and raised an eyebrow at her. ' ah? Am I ment to say something?. Oh no I'm really bad at socialising' (´-﹏-'；).

"Why are you just sitting there?" He asked "I saw you though the window and you haven't touched your food once" Elijah said.

"U-um, I'm,,, waiting for papa" Jennette said shyly. The boy was quite "yeah well,,It dosnt seem like he's coming" he said. And just like that it felt as if an arrow had pierced through her skin ' he's so blunt' (-_-;) she thought.
