The Aconitum Flower

ALORA EMBRY

When I woke up the doctor told me that I was unconscious for two days, the academy already contacted my family but there is still no reply from them.

I also report to my parents what happened and like the academy, I don't receive a reply from them. The Crown Prince punished the worker who poisoned us and the man who stabbed me already talked and that's because of the Crown Prince. I heard they tortured them to death so they will talk.

Their real target is Dinah and not me, they have mistaken me for Dinah and they still didn't know who ordered that. Even the culprit said that they don't know his face but they called him Master and they also don't know the purpose why that person want her dead.

"Lady Alora, can I come in?" I heard Dinah's voice, Cora and her already get discharged last night and I am the only one who is still in the hospital.

"Hmm."

"Good day, My Lady. Are you okay now?"

"Yeah." I look at the woman beside her it's Hayes Mother, Brea. "Greetings."

"I'm relieved you're fine." Dinah held my hands and introduce Brea to me.

"She's my Auntie Brea, Hayes, and Will's mother." I nod even though I already know her.

"Hello, I'm Alora Embry."

"Lady Alora, I'm sorry it's our fault that you ended up here. On behalf of the Capell please forgive us." Then they bow their heads.

"No, it's fine no need to say sorry. No one wanted this."

"Still were sorry, it's because of me." and she look at the floor and asked for forgiveness once again.

"But my wound is already healed thanks to the Sorcerer from the Imperial Palace."

"Dinah is right, Lady Alora is so kind. Whenever she wrote a letter, she always talk about you." I smiled at her.

"Oh! Auntie Brea brings some cookies, excuse me I will bring them here so you can try it Lady Alora." I nod and she leaves my room, I look at Hayes's mother when she took my hand and held it tightly. That hurt.

"We're about to move her from another room, don't ever go near to Dinah or to my son. Lowly commoners like you can't go near to a Capell. Lady Cora is right you look like trash." I just look at her and shrug my shoulders, can't believe she just showed her true colors. Do you think I like being around with them?

"Auntie, Lady Alora." I look at her with a blank face. "Here's the cookie." She smiled widely and gave me the box.

"Your Auntie said that you will move from another room."

"Yeah, I'm sorry you will be alone in our room now that Farren already stopped. But I do think it would be the best so if something bad happened you won't experience this again."

"What happened to Farren?"

"I heard that her father can't afford to pay the tuition. Their business is falling so they sent her to marry a count."

"That's sad, you should ready your things I'm going to rest now. I'm still now allowed to go to classes so I won't see you for a while."

"Then we will leave now, take a good rest."

"Goodbye." I nod, and it suddenly got silent. I look at the box she gave me and burned it after that I continue my sleep and woke up when someone knocked.

"My Lady, Dinner?" she immediately put the food on the small table and give it to me.

"Thank you." she nods and bows her head. I eat silently and after that, I change my clothes when someone knocked again. I opened the door and was surprised.

"Ahem." A bouquet of roses blocks my sight. Then when he handed it to me, I saw his blushing face, it was Frederick. "I heard that you are still now allowed to go out, I hope you are doing well."

I let him go inside and offer the seat in front of my bed. "Did you already eat?"

"Yes, so how are you these days?"

"It was Hella boring and painful." Then he laughs.

"The students are talking about what happened to all of you, now they were scared to go near Lady Cora and Lady Dinah."

"I thought they covered it so the students won't get scared or something."

"Yeah, they did it, but someone claimed that she saw what happened that night and after that, the rumor spread and no one knew who is that person."

"She already moved to another room."

"Yeah. Lady Dinah and Lady Cora are sharing the room and they also have knights there."

"Ah." It's not that surprising that the academy allowed it.

"Did your parents already know? You got hurt at least they should visit you right?"

"Yeah they were informed but I don't know what they're thinking."

"..."

"These roses it's beautiful, thank you again."

"Just for a beautiful Lady like you." I smiled at him and as usual, he did blush.

"Heh."

"You're really beautiful whenever you smile."

"You can now stop." we both laugh and I wave my hand. "Thank you for the flowers once again, Good Night Sir Frederick."

"Good night, Lady Alora, have a peaceful night." I smiled at him and close the doors.

After I got discharged, I stayed in my room for a day so I can fully gain my strength again. My head is really killing me, the headaches are back.

When I look at my table there was a black envelope. It's from my father.

I see. It can't be helped you need to kill Dinah and Cora. I know you can do it, my precious daughter. I'm waiting for the good news.

-Kalen Astley

I nod when I read the lower part of the letter. There is a detail on why Armelle committed suicide, and I can use this. It was shocking I didn't know that she is a two-faced bitch.
