Curse Of Fate

Chapter 2

Masako helped her Lady to move out of the casket. Kei's pale and small feet landed on the wooden floor and the coldness it brings sent a shiver on her body. There must be something going on in this family. Killing this Lady Kei because she's weak is not that believable and simple. Perhaps there's a reason why my soul was transported into this world.

Kei gave a short but intense glance at the Priest who's standing behind a man, wearing the same mourning clothes as everyone else but his posture made Kei thought that this might be her father.

Everyone noticed that there is a bit different about Kei. The way she held her head high, and her back straightened, staring at them one by one as if she's the queen.

Just because you're reincarnated, doesn't mean you can act all mighty!

Lady Maria step forward, gathering all her courage not to tremble.

" Sister K-Kei...? I'm Maria, you're sister. Have you forgotten about us? " This warmed Sir Aito and Madam Nami, Lady Kei's grandmother. Lady Maria looks like an innocent sheep, too scared to step up but for the sake of her sister, she would do anything!

Though the half of her face is covered with a veil, Kei still smirked.

" My memory's a little bit messed up but I can't forget how Lady Maria manipulated Lord Tomi into stabbing me, which resulted to my... death. " Gasped filled the room. Seems like Lady Maria's strength left her as she falls on the floor.

" What are you talking about Kei! Accusing Lady Maria and Lord Tomi for such a crime, do you really want to die!? " Madam Jin shouted, anger laced her voice.

" Kei, you said you're mind's a mess. Perhaps you misinterpret everything. It was Lady Maria's servant who... stabbed you. " another woman inserted.

Ah, too many women to investigate and to know. I'm not even a woman myself but after waking up in a woman's body, I think I adjusted just right. I perfectly knew how scheming a woman can be. Dang it.

" Masako. Who is she? " Masako bowed before answering.

" Lady Kei, she is Mistress Rose, the third wife of Sir Aito, your father. "

" Are you calling me a liar, Mistress Rose? Madam Jin? " The way Kei put a stress on their names sent a chill on their spine. They did not expect the sudden change of attitude in Lady Kei, as if she was possessed!

" Kei! " Sir Aito decided to interrupt.

" Father... please believe me! I-I'm not lying... the gods themselves show me the truth before deciding to... gave me my second life! " Of course Kei was just lying but it seems like it put a sudden alarm on her family. It appears that they almost forgot the reason why Kei is standing in front of them, alive and well.

Madam Nami walk towards Kei and cupped her cheeks gently, smiling as she gave her granddaughter a kiss on the forehead. The warmth Kei felt from this old lady isn't comforting at all.

Madame Nami held Kei's both hands and grasp it.

" My dear Kei, tell me everything that happened before your death, this old lady will listen to you and will give you justice. Speak my dear child, and punishments will be served to those who wronged you. "

This old woman... she's fishy. I need to ask Masako all about the details later.

Now that Kei got Madam Nami's sympathy, Sir Aito did not have any choice but to take his mother's side.

" Kei, speak up. However, if I found out that you're lying, you'll have to apologize to Lady Maria and Lord Tomi, personally. But if, what claim you is true, then you may choose whatever punishment you think is suitable for their crime. "
