So I've reincarnated as Mielle Roscente!

17. So I've Finally Travelled Back Time?!

"AH, MIELLE, HOW ARE YOU FEELING? Your complexion hasn't been very good since last night..." Aria asked me, approaching me quite candidly.

Ahh.... right. There had been too many things on my plate after all. Yesterday was the worst day of my life.

"Sister Aria, I just was so restless after yesterday's incident. You see, I also went out by carriage this morning and came right in while the commotion was happening. I had no idea that a situation like this was even possible..." I murmured back at her. "To think someone wanted to harm you? And what if... they meant harm to me as well? I had no idea, and still took the Roscente carriage back home." I told her back.

Right. I had an alibi, I was also out while this commotion was occurring, so there was no damn way I would be involved!

With my explanation, Aria remained quite puzzled. As if her entire world came crashing down. Good! Now I had to carry this on:

"Big sister Aria! I had nightmares all night! What if something bad happened to you! Or to me! Or to dear Mother?! If someone had intended to harm us, what should we do?" I exaggerated. Although I was partially sincere.

Aria blinked, and pondered on it carefully. She quickly said back, "Yes, you must be really sick. You should see a doctor for now. I feel both thankful and sorry for letting you worry about me..."

"No Sister, of course I would worry. We are family, after all, ~" I answered back.

With this, I think the issue should be resolved. Aria should have no reason to suspect me for the carriage incident. I already have an alibi, and I also requested that the Police get involved with this investigation.

This for sure underlines that I am currently innocent, and have no motive.

I looked out from the corner of my eyes, and saw a frantic Aria, biting her lips as she mulled over my words. She must be putting this together as well.

Aria must know I am not her only suspect, she has other variables to consider. Good!

As I was about to head back, Aria suddenly called out to me: "Mielle! Wait!"

I paused and turned around to see Aria asking Jessie to bring her a box. It looked like a present of some sort.

"It's a little strange giving it to you now, but... Mielle you have been only eating in your room for the past couple of days since you haven't been feeling well. It's so hard to see you, and since I don't know when I'll see you again, I got you a gift." Aria said as she took out the box from Jessie and opened it.

A blue-teared necklace. Wow. How beautiful. "This is a gift from me," Aria said, showcasing the necklace to everyone around her.

"Oh my goodness!" A maid gasped from behind, and all the others around surrounded us all as they watched in awe of the beautiful shimmering necklace.

W-wow. It was really pretty.

"Y-you got this for me? Big Sister?" I said in awe, how did she know I love the color blue?! Wait, I don't think she intended for me to like it... but still... what the heck. This necklace is so... damnit! Don't get tempted. Don't get tempted. Ugghhh...

"Thank you so much Unnie!" I told her, "can you put it around me?" I asked her, turning around to make her able to put it on my neck.

Aria looked a little startled by my initiative, but she smiled as she carefully approached me and put it around my neck. After clipping it, she pulled my hair back, and I turned around.

"Oh my gosh! Lady Mielle, it looks really wonderful!" The other maids complimented.

I had no words... this necklace was beautiful?! For real?! OMG?
