The Ghost Heiress (On Hold)

Chapter 7. Unexpected developments

AN: Warning, there is violence in this chapter! 

Sang's POV:

Once I put down my violin I stood from the windowsill and walked over to my bed where I had left its box.

Putting it back inside I stared at it for a few moments, the emotions I had been keeping locked inside my heart were now free, shifting along the air like the notes I had created a few moments before and I felt lighter than I had in a long time.

I left my room and went for a walk in the grounds, passing through doors and windows distractedly, my mind automatically mapping the whole place while I thought about the revelations of the day before.

Wil was the heir to the Academy's clan.

I wonder what he had been doing, working as a driver for the Sorensons.

Was there treachery afoot?

And what was I going to do about it?

These questions haunted me as I kept walking, not really seeing where I went until my face made contact with a hard chest.

"Gasp!"

"Omph!"

Arms came around my waist and held me upright, stopping me from falling to the floor in a heap.

The chest in front of me was covered in a bright orange cloth that formed a kimono and accompanied by the cinnamon and cocoa scent tickling my nose I knew instantly who it was that I had walked into.

"Now, I know you are falling for my sexy and stylish self, Trouble, but do not worry, I'll always catch you." Said the playful voice of Gabriel-san.

I looked up at him and he shot me a wink along with a smirk.

I couldn't help smiling too. His smile and bright blue eyes were contagious.

"Hello to you too, Meanie."

I took a step back, regrettably getting out of his arms and that's when I saw Victor-san.

He smiled kindly at me, "Hello there, princess."

I blushed and smiled at him, too, "Hi Victor-san."

"So, Sang-chan, are you busy right now?" Gabriel-san asked me.

I shook my head, I was actually feeling a little bored right now.

They looked at each other before turning to me again, identical, diabolical smiles on their faces.

"So we are going shopping!" They said in unison.

My eyes widened at that. Shopping! I never had gone shopping before.

Usually my clothes were just delivered to my room by some other servant. Besides, it was not like I was paid for doing my job.

I knew other servants received a salary for their hard work, but for some reason I never got nothing. I didn't complain because I had everything I needed, but still...

Gabriel taking hold of my hand and pulling me after him distracted me from my depressing thoughts.

We walked quickly through the corridors until we reached the front gates to the house.

Victor walked ahead of us and talked quietly to the samurai posted there for a couple of minutes before he signaled for us to follow him.

We left the clan house and the boys pulled me to walk between them down a winding road with cherry trees on either side of the street.
