So I've reincarnated as Mielle Roscente!

46: So I've Been Scheming the Greatest Plan (III)

-MIELLE'S POV: 

Dear Lady Mielle,

It's only been so many hours since we've last seen each other, however, it feels like as if an entire autumn had flown by since we've seen each other. However, I guess a sweet friendship is something that makes one painfully impatient.

Come and tell me about your progress so far, while we share a cup of tea. Your travels to Croa is something that must be discussed. 

From Isis

"MY LADY, we've been travelling for two days, surely you must want to rest back at the Roscente manor." Emma's soft-spoken voice looked at towards me, after I finished reading the letter that Isis had sent me three days ago. I take off my black mask and my unsullying simple dress to put on something decent.

"No need, I have no what-so-ever attachment nor desire to go back to the Roscente mansion," I say back as I stretch my foot on the other side of the seats. "Besides, Lady Isis requests for my presence immediately," 

"I see," Emma nodded and reluctantly complied to my requests. I boringly looked out of the window of the carriage. 

The Roscente Mansion... has become a place of spite for me now. With spending so many days in this body with a new identity... I had many tumultuous feelings of breaking down, identity-crisis, joys, all the possible paranoia in the world. 

It's been seven-hundred and sixty-five days (765 days) since I've been stuck inside this world as Mielle Roscente. Nothing has been the same anymore, things have changed a lot over the past couple of days... or shall I say months... or years?

I thought I could leave after a couple of days, but it had been a little more than two years. The fictitious world that I've been living in has become part of my obsolete reality. The little things I used to ignore two years ago have become the most important things to me. 

"What shall I do about the money that my lady had acquired from the Casino?" Emma asked, "Where shall I put them? We can't be carrying all of these fortunes around with us, on a flimsy carriage?" 

Oh right, the money that I've acquired from the Casino? I smirked at the thought of my wonderful winnings. How delightful.

"We shall present our victory to none other than Isis," I say to Emma. Emma looked dumbfounded as she said, "I don't understand why my lady was in the beginning adamant to enter the Casino? Wouldn't Lady Isis be mad that you went to the Casino, when you explicitly told her not to do anything with the Casino?" 

"Emma, you're far too behind," I say back to Emma, who looked back quizzically at me.

"Please forgive my slow years, my lady. Please explain... how and why you've been able to acquire such money like this in the lower-level sections of the Casino. And why all of these few years... we've been travelling in discrete places that no such lady must go to?" 

 I giggle a little bit at Emma's innocent and questioning look on her face. Despite behind the years and age of experience, Emma still had no idea how this world worked. 

"Emma... do you know why I've waited for two long years to make a move?"  I ask Emma at last. 

Emma raised her eyebrows. "That's because it takes time for seeds to sprout," I say back to her. "From the very beginning of time, Lady Isis and I've done our inner-workings in the Casino. Since the Imperial Faction wants to directly destroy the Frederick household, we wanted to play thing very cautiously." I say back to her.
