Chapter 36: Fall On Your Own Demise
Bumaba si Lavinia ng carriage habang hawak ang kamay ni Luan na nakaalalay sa kaniya. She holds her purse as she glances at the massive castle in front of her.
The castle was white as snow with the roof that has blue paint on it. The sparkling statues are eye catching. Nakabalandra rin sa malawak na balcony ng second floor ang isang flag na may pamilyar na insignia ng Empress.
"Lady Lavinia Claymour?"
Naibaba ni Lavinia ang tingin sa isang butler na lumapit sa kanila. She automatically smiled at the old man. Kasama niya ang dalawa pang maidservants na nauna nang yumuko.
"That would be me, yes."
The butler bowed his head, "Greetings to Her Ladyship."
Lavinia nodded her head, "Yes and I hope the Empress has been informed?"
Umayos ng tayo ang butler. Mahahalata ang biglaang paglamig ng tingin nito kay Lavinia. Pansin din ni Lavinia ang palihim na tinginan ng dalawang maidservants.
"Naghihintay ang Empress sa kaniyang silid, my lady," the butler answered.
Lavinia's smile didn't fade. Tumango lamang ito ng isang beses at naglakad papasok ng castle. Her smile immediately faded when she walked past the three.
Nang makapasok sila sa castle ay bahagyang nilingon ni Lavinia si Luan. The boy glanced at her, emotionless, before stopping on his tracks.
Hinayaan ni Luan na diretsong maglakad sina Lavinia at Devon papunta sa second floor. Nang mawala sa kaniyang paningin ang dalawa ay muli itong lumabas ng castle.
Sa second floor ay muling sinalubong sina Lavinia ng isa pang butler.
"This way, my lady," the butler guided them.
Lavinia smiled so sweetly at him, "Thank you, sweetie."
Binuksan ng butler ang isang pintuan kung saan niya dinala ang dalawa. Nang bumukas ito ay sandaling napakunot ang noo ni Lavinia sa isang pamilyar na amoy.
Ngunit agad niya itong binalewala nang mapansin na nakatingin din sa kaniya ang butler. She faked another smile before entering the room.
Nang makapasok sa kwarto ay agad na napansin ni Lavinia ang malawak ngunit simpleng kwarto.
The chamber was big enough to hold a simple ballroom party, but the furnitures, ornaments, and the overall interior design was simple. Not fitting for an Empress' room.
Tila pinabayaan na lamang din ito ng panahon dahil sa old fashion na furniture designs at interior.
Lavinia walked past the old figurine of a lady.
The entire room is ghastly. What a shame. This is supposed to be one of the grandest room in the palace as this is where the Empress is resting.
"Welcome, Lady Lavinia Claymour."
Agad na dumako ang tingin ni Lavinia sa malawak na kama sa hindi kalayuan. Doon ay napansin niya ang isang pigura na nakaupo sa kama habang nakasandal sa head board ang likuran.
Lavinia immediately curtsied after holding the hem of her dress. Sumunod din sa kaniya si Devon.
"May the glory of Galvion bless you, Your Majesty," she greeted.
