Chapter 10: Familiar

Lisa's Pov

"We have arrived.."

Lisa's face screamed perfection. As she got out of the carriage, others couldn't help but to stare at her alluring beauty. Her face matured throughout those years. Her bloodshot eyes was frightening and yet it was still captivating. Her milky white skin sparkled against the light. Her long nose, pinkish lips, long legs--everything about her screamed perfection.

"How have you been, father?" Her father's smile reached his eyes as he stared at her daughter in awe. "Alive and still kicking." He chuckled at his own joke but Lisa only stared at him with her usual face. "I see that your personality never changed but your physic sure did. You've become even more beautiful, my child." the Duke couldn't help but hug her.

Lisa stood still, not knowing how to react. She slowly raised her hand and gently patted his fathers back. Soon, he finally let go. He scanned her from head to toe but he suddenly stopped mid way. "Lisa?" The Duke raised a brow and took a step closer to her and examined her neck, "I-is that a hicky that I see?"

Lisa's eyes widened a bit. "Ermm, I-" She was cut off by Rośe who suddenly popped out of nowhere, "Hi! Good evening, Mr. Duke, I'm Rośe. I'm Lisa's apprentice." She extended her arm. The Dukes attention immediately shifted to her. "Oh, is that so? What a surprise... Well then, nice to meet you, Rośe" He smiled gently and accepted her hand.

Lisa could only sigh in relief and thanked Rośe inside her head.

"Really?" The Duke gave out a surprised face.

"Yes, it was quite a scary experience but thankfully Lis- I mean master, decided to take me with her with open arms," She scrunched her nose and smiled.

"Master, may be quite scary, cold, and emotionless but deep inside she's actually a very nice person..." Lisa didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The Duke smiled but he suddenly remembered something. He turned to Lisa with a straight face,

"Lisa, outside the mansion, everyone is wondering what was behind your disappearance. Rumors regarding your disappearance spread throughout the city. They have even gone too far by saying that you had died. As your father, I cannot blind sight such ridiculous hearsay! So, I've been thinking that when you come back, you shall step inside the socialite once again. I have already enrolled you in the most prestigious academy in the capital. This is irreversible. I use my power as the Duke and not of your father, this is a command so, whether you like it or not, you will go."

Lisa's lips parted a bit out of shock. She didn't even have a chance to say anything. She pursed her lips and decided to stay quiet.

"Also, don't think that I have forgotten about those love marks on your neck, young lady. Have you found a lover while you were away? If so, when I meet this young lad, I shall punish him. So Lisa, tell me honestly. Did something happen between you and this mysterious lover of yours?" The Duke raised a brow as Rose couldn't help but to turn to Lisa. Rose's face looked horrified. Both were curiously waiting for a response from the woman.

Lisa's face was red as a tomato. She cleared her throught before answering, "N-no, nothing happened. I-it was only an accident..." Lisa closed her eyes as to how an obvious lie- i mean, who would believe that a lip had "accidentally" clashed in my skin and began to suck-- such discussions aren't meant to be voiced out.

"Go to your room."  The Duke glared at his very own daughter.

"Very well said."

Lisa's POV

"....."

I glanced at Rose who's been silent the whole evening after the confrontation earlier at the dinner table. "Is something bothering you?" She looked at me. Eyes full of mixed emotions.

"The other night, I thought I was crazy when I heard moans. I even convinced myself that it was only animals mating or some sort. But truly.... It was you and-Hmmp" I covered her mouth with both my hands feeling very embarrassed. I bit my lip as I felt my cheeks heating up, "Please... Stop." I begged. My cheeks flushed red. I wanted the ground to swallow me whole.

"I guess I was right? It seems that the master had "obliviously" lied to the duke. You had really spent the night with him." She grinned. "Don't make fun of me. Go! Get out!" She chuckled and quickly excused herself.

Fuck. I'd rather die than experience such embarrassing....

I buried my face in my pillow. I stayed in that position for a few minutes before I got up and walked towards the mirror and began to examine my reflection.

Red bruise-like hickeys formed in my neck. There were a couple of them. Damn it. I should've stopped him when I had the chance. I clenched my fist as memories began to flood my mind.

I woke up early in the morning and began to get ready for training. I tied my hair up into a pony tail before heading out of my room. I went to the training ground that is supposedly located beside the mansion.

I walked and examined the knights that were in the midst of training. When they noticed my presence, they all gathered up and greeted me and I just nodded in response.

I was about to go my way when a fairly familiar man caught my eye. I gasped in horror when I realized who it was.

I immediately walked towards him. I noticed that everyone was looking at me, wondering why I had marched into their way. Some even looked in the direction of where I was facing. He looked unfazed at the whole situation and just waited for me to come up to him.

When I was infront of him, I immediately grabbed his hand and led him inside the mansion and into an abandoned room.

"What are you doing here, Jungkook?"

I'm back?
