Sister Claes - My Next Life as a Villainess

Learning our Way

------Katarina POV--------

After the teddy bear sniffed Lilys book. We quickly returned to our home. Keith and I let our parents know. They're incredibly worried but trust us to be safe with each other. Well mother trusts Keith and Prince Geordo to keep me safe. Maria decides to tag along as well. 

------Maria POV--------

I was let aware of the situation with the rest of the group of friends I've made. I fell to the ground crying because I'm so worried for Lady Lily. My mother comforted me the best she could. She told me I should go to help find her. Lady Katarina was so kind to send a carriage to come get me so we could all discuss the situation. She personally came with Master Keith and she conforted me on the way.

 Once we arrived at the mansion, I saw everyone there. They looked just as worried as I was. Master Leon had his fist clenched. There was a little bit of arguing between mostly the gentlemen and Lady Mary, as they all wanted to come along but couldn't due to their current duties. I feel bad but I breathed a little better after that. I did formally meet Lady Randall. She is quite stunning as she was the last time.

After mostly Katarina said her goodbyes as well as I did we were off. I hope we find you soon and your safe wherever you are Lady Lily.

----Lily POV-----

I'm still stuck here someone send help. Anyways its the day of the well I guess royal ball?

Lady Katarina, as this one wants me to call her, made me look at her get fitted in about 50 dresses with her snobby friends who most likely just use her for popularity but whatever. I ended up not getting any because Ms.Charity was able to find me a very beautiful light blue gown. As I could not wear dark blue as thats "Katarina's thing." 

Ms.Charity was kindly able to help me get the gown on. She put my hair in a braided bun as once again only Lady Katarina could wear a braided ponytail. 

I thanked Ms.Charity and she smiled. We ended up talking until I needed to leave. She's still the same as the one I remember. The fact makes me smile.

As I leave my room Ms.Charity reminds me about the white gloves I quickly shove on and enter the ball room. Guests start to arrive from all over. 

Lady Luan catches my attention. When I saw her I tensed up but then she slid her way to me while I slowly went to go over to Keith.

"Lady Lily!" She smiles as she heads over to me. I hault did she just call me Lily?

I curtsie on cue as we are in a ball room and she does the same.

"Pleasure to make your acquaintance." She laughs a little.

"Oh darling no need to be so formal remember were friends."

Friends? Since when? Then I keep remembering this isn't my well other world. I try to go along with it.

"Why yes of course. Still nice to see you again, how are you and Master Leon?"

She looks at me confused.

"Well you should know your practically engaged with him." She quickly gives me a hug and then someone shows up behind me. Master Leon smile and takes my hand off to dance while Lady Luan smiles and does a small wave. Weird.

"Hello my dear, Lily." He doesn't even use formality and I blush a little. He smiles and moves his face a little closer.

"I can see that flustered you this time." 

This time? How many times?

"Well anyways only 1 more year and we can tease one another after the wedding."
