We are now on our way to visit the Marquis Scilla estate that they bought recently (at least thats what ive heard, the maids are really handy). The Marquis Scilla are from Obelia and they had bought land here In Arlanta to sell goods, my "father" forced me to go with him so I can play with the Marquis's kids, It's troublesome, I hate kids especially noisy ones, all they do is cry and shout, ugh..

{..}

"Welcome To the Marquis Scilla estate, Duke Lariensla"

A tall man with shit colored hair and grey eyes greeted us.

"Oh and I guess you brought the little princess of Lariensla with you"

He grinned, I immediately knew what he was planning, He's going to use his kids to get close to me, disgusting! I hate those kinds of people.

"Ela introduce yourself" said my "Dad",

"Yes of course father, I'm Ela Cecil Lariensla"

I introduced myself with perfect elegance, I've been learning etiquette since I was 4 so it's no surprise that I'm good at it,

"Oh my, your daughter is really good with her etiquette, I'm not surprised,"

The marquis joyfully looked at my dad, what's up with his smiles?

"now why not come inside? Little miss Ela can play with my kids while we talk"

I knew it, this man thinks I'm a fool that doesn't understand what is happening, well naturally I shouldn't..

"Ela, you should probably go with the maid to play with the Marquis's kids" my Father Said while pointing at one of the maids and instructed them to guide me,

"Yes Father" I followed the maid and as we get close to the door, I saw the light and felt chills through my spine, the kids were bouncing on the bed, throwing things everywhere!

{..}

I gulped as they saw me, they had on a terrifying smile,

"Oh! a new playmate! Come let's play!" a girl with brown hair and green eyes told me with a joyful yet scary voice,

"Emilia, we need to introduce ourselves first" the boy with brown hair and grey eyes told her,

"Okay!"

The girl got up and introduced herself

"My Name Is Emilia Scilla, The First Daughter of the Marquis"

So this girl is the second child..

"This is my older brother and the soon to be heir of our estate, Adrienne Scilla" the boy with brown hair and grey eyes is the heir? interesting...

"Greetings "

They were quite good with their etiquette contrary to my first impression, in which they were bouncing on the bed..

"Excuse me miss, can I please go now? The kitchen maid is calling me" The maid that brought me here asked for permission, "Oh! I'm sorry.. you can go now" I told her, she then bowed her head as a sign of respect and quietly walked away.

When I stared at the kids, I saw that they were glaring at me, were noble children this mean?

"Why would you talk formally with a lowly maid.." Emilia groaned, "For me all humans need respect." I replied , "Nonsense"

Adrienne groaned, I just sighed and we continued on, the argument would have led to nowhere.

Pant, Pant, "A-Are T-Those Kids gone?" Those little rascals! Why did they have to start chasing after me!? Where are they? "huh?", I heard a loud annoying voice, must be Adrienne.

I took a peek in a corner and saw what was happening "Ugh! Look at what you did!? You ruined my clothes!" he was yelling at a girl, my eyes widened when I saw him lift up his hands, he's gonna slap her! I immediately Sprinted towards her and blocked it, I suppose it was quite a dumb move, since I got slapped instead. Nice going Ela!

"EH!?"

"what are you doing!?" He shouted, "I should be the one questioning you that." I replied.

"Well I was teaching her a lesson!"

"What did she even do?!", I shouted, this spoiled kid..

"She bumped into me and ruined my clothes!?"

Adrienne replied, I had enough with him, "Go away or I'm going to tell my father!" I had enough of his "punishments"  and he didn't even have a valid reason! When he saw how my face looks so serious he immediately ran away. I guess I look scary even as a 5 year old? Must be from my "Dad".

I helped the girl got up, "T-Thank Y-You" ,, The girl had obsidian black hair and sparkly yellow eyes, pretty..

"You're welcome, by the way what's your name?" I asked her " M-My name is... Quaari!" She exclaimed, "Well nice to meet you Quaari!" I smiled, " Wanna be friends?" I asked her "O-okay" She smiled warmly,

"Well since you're my friend now, may I trouble you to give me a full explanation on what's going on?"

She was nervous when I asked her that, but she still complied with my request. She  told me how her father, the Marquis, and her older brother had mistreated her, and how her sister and mother is the only one who treated her nicely, after she told me that she is an illegitimate child,

"I can fight back but I don't want to hurt them.... I know you might think im pathetic but i-i-im just to scared!"

Tears started forming and before i knew it she started sobbing, I was startled and confused what to do, I don't know how to comfort people, but at that moment I just did what seemed right.. I hugged her and said

"No one should experience such things even of whatever status they have, all humans are equal" I told her, her eyes lighted up and smiled "Now stop crying or else your eyes are gonna get swollen"

"Yes..thank you!" Quaari Laughed
