The Misfit Maiden

Chapter 1: Emberlynn's Outcast

Chapter 1: Emberlynn's Outcast

It's already been a week.

The house went in defeaning silence after my sister left for the academy. The housemaids then became busy as my parents left for another business trip, leaving them with duties and me as the only member of the family here in our mansion.

I heaved a sigh.

I don't think they even consider me as their family, they know that I'm lonely whenever I'm alone but they just kept on travelling around with their so-called business trip.

It's more like an excuse just to avoid their powerless and dull looking daughter.

Isobel was actually born with golden hazelnut hair and yellow eyes, ngunit hindi ako sigurado sa mahika na meron siya, dahil tuwing ipinapakita o ipinagmamalaki niya ang kaniyang mahika ay agad din naman akong umuuwi o hindi nakikisali, hindi naman talaga kasi naiiwasan ang pagkokompara ng mga tao sa aming dalawa.

Isobel looks pretty though, and I can't deny that, she has charms, and became more charming with her profession on her magic.

While me, mukhang tao.

Long but wavy dark hair and dark eyes, ngunit makapal ang aking kilay kaya't nagagandahan din naman sa'kin ang iilang tao, at the same time natatakot dahil parati daw akong nakasimangot sa kapal ng aking kilay.

So overall, my sister still looks better habang ako naman ay abala sa pag-aalaga ng aking kilay at imahe na walang ka-buhay buhay.

I am currently busy on watering my lilies on my very own garden, I do this everyday since I really adore flowers, especially lilies. Dahil hindi naman ako busy sa pag-ttrain or whatsoever with my body since I have no magic, I just do human things on my own.

"Lady Isolde."

Napatigil ako at napalingon nang tinatawag ako ni Auntie Carina, ang head maidservant dito sa aming mansyon.

"Yes, Auntie? How can I help you?" I responded.

"Kain na muna po kayo sa loob, Lady Isolde. Kanina ka po kasi nandito ng mga alas-otso, halatang malalim ang iniisip." She said and grabbed the water can from me, insisting na siya muna bahala sa mga bulaklak ko.

I gently smiled at her, buti naman at ni-rerespeto pa rin ako ng mga kasambahay dito kahit alam nilang mahina ako at walang maitutulong kung ikokompara sa kanila.

"Well then, thank you. I'll take my leave and eat." I concluded and hold my housedress so I can walk back inside without tripping on it.

All the maids inside then bowed their heads as a sign of respect as soon as they saw me, heading towards the dining hall to eat.

Not to brag but Emberlynn is indeed one of the most respected families around the Celestium's Capital, Viridiana. Our family in the hierarchy chart actually ranks second, ikatlo ang Cullenmile Family, and of course nangunguna ang Royal Family, Knightcrest Family –- the top 3 most influential family in Viridiana.

Though my family often tells me to stay and hide in the mansion while they go out to certain occasions related to the social world and hierarchy, I never get to communicate with all those families. But because I also don't want to be ignorant about my world, I instead spend my time reading books at our library about the hierarchy history of Viridiana.

Matapos kong kumain ay bumalik na muli ako sa hardin para hanapin si Auntie Carina, the other maids even insisted on holding an umbrella for me dahil masyado daw matirik ang araw sa ganitong oras.
