The Day When Its Forever

Story 7

"Good morning My Lord, your breakfast is ready."
"Hmm, is Hady awake?"
"He's still sleeping tightly."
"Let him be."
Eris smile, Graham also smile at him, while taking the coffee.
"My Lord, you seemed to have a liking with Sir Hady. You became closer at a short time."
Eris just nod.
"Do you want me to investigate about his background."
"Nope, stay low, he's an innocent boy, he save me without knowing anything, without any exchanges, he's a true person, the first time I had ever since the battle of my inheritance."
Graham was saddened, especially that his master don't have any true friend.
"Do you have a report on what happened on my hotel that night?"
"No sir, it seems that the police was quite, when I asked about the burglar who enter your room they we're silent and told me that no one enter your room."
" I cant keep up with him, i tried to catch him but i was shut instead,  did you tell them I was shut?"
"No, that would be inconvenient for you to find a hospital."
Eris move her head.
"No worries, I was treated in a veterinary clinic."
"A what My Lord?"
They enter the red big gate of the mansion owned by the Scorbacht Family, a lineage of the King Of Thales. Hady with Eris enter the mansion as they were welcome by a bunch of chambermaids and butlers, a house is more bigger than their house, although she was not shocked but the architecture was beautiful.
" Welcome My Lord!"
Although she's aware that having a private ship makes you rich, I guess he's richer than she expected, but it doesn't matter now since she's safe in this house.
That evening, she was taking a shower while caressing her short hair.
" Nana love my hair so much, i also do, I'm sorry Nana."
She stare at her face in the mirror, does he really look like a boy? Or a kid?
"Hah, that's right, I can't stay here forever, my father is just being a father, I will go back, but let me be myself for now."
After 1 month, she will go back, she will surely be back in Frinland.
"Hady are you in there showering?"
She jump on her feet  the cubicle is glass and visible outside. She sit to cover her body.
"DON'T COME HERE!"
"Why are you shouting?"
"JUST DON'T COME NEAR HERE!! I WILL DEFINITELY KILL YOU!"
She heard a laugh in the bedroom, and an opening wine bottle.
"Fine I'll wait for you, what are you a crying baby?"
Hady whisper on her own.
" Wait for me? Are we having a wine session? God, I never drink!"
She make herself ready and shout again.
" I can't drink, just go to sleep! I'm allergic to alcohol!"
"Why are you talking in there? Are you hiding something? Don't tell me your a woman?"
Hady gasp her breath.
"W-what?"
"Just come out and join me, I'm not a good drinker either. "
"Then why are you drinking? Its nighttime for God sake."
"Because I'm comfortable."
Hady sit quietly with her body covered with towels. Even her is comfortable, it seems like she and Eris have meet for so long ago and makes her very much unaware of that short time that they know each other.
"Aren't you always comfortable."
"I'm not, I always sleep as if its my last, my morning is even more scary than my evening."
Hady felt the pain in his words, she can feel it, that loneliness.
" Will you tell me that long story now?"
Eris smile,
"Telling a story to someone inside the bathroom is extraordinary."
"Just talk, Ill listen from here."
"Well, you really are one of a kind."
Hady smile and listen.
" My parents died when I turn 15, both of them."
Hady was shocked, but she pretended that she is not.
"My father was the only heir-relative of the former King Marcus of Thales, my Grandfather. He left a will for me only."
Eris drink wine.
" In the will, listed all the fortunes I will receive  each year on my birthday, as long as my studies go on, my property in my Name increases as it stated in the will, every birthday is equivalent to a hectare or a building or an oil field. Until my 25th birthday which was last two months ago."
Hady was listening quietly, she knows the feeling of being rich and lonely at the same time.
"On my 25th birthday, I was crowned as one of the Lord of Gracilli."
She whispers.
"Lord of Gracilli? Didn't i heard it before?"
"On my father's last wish on my 25th, he said that i will need to be married then the gold mine land field in West Barbadus will be mine. That was the last among the birthday gifts, a final one."
Silence came between them.
" What happened?"
"If i cant get married until i turn 26, the last wish will be forfeited in favor of my mothers siblings."
"Are they good?"
"Good, you say, i think so, they tried to harm me in Frinland,  without wounding me i wouldn't be meeting you."
"They did that to you even though your family?"
"We aren't, My family is dead, i don't have one."
Hady felt so heavy in his heart.
"When you find your bride she will be your family, so don't be so negative, your future will be brighter a head of you, i can assure that."
"Thank you, for not letting me die."
Hady smile with all her heart, and remember something.
"Wait, then why did you go to Frinland?"
"I was going to meet my Fiancé, but she ran away."
A sudden burst of heartbeat filled Hadys chest. Then all the memories of that certain confidential  letter address to her comes back.
 ( "The Lord of Gracilli ask for your hand in marriage.")
