A week after Luxius visit I already receive a letter from the Imperial. Everyone in the household is shock.
"What's so new about this?" Back then Luxius will always sent an invitation for Lilliane to go to the Place because Luxius can't come and visit Lilliane because as a Pirnce he has responsibility at a young age same as his older brothers.
But the difference is that there's a two letter, one for me and one for Lilliane?
Maybe my father already propose to the Emperor to take Lilliane as in-law.
Well its the time of the year life before, and also that time were there's a rumors going around the capital about monsters called vampires who suck on human blood.
I don't know what to say about that, never seen one before.
Lilliane may not have her coming of age yet but father want to secure her place that's why, even now and then.
They're just doing the same stuffs.
I open the the dark-violet envelop with the Imperial's Crest.
Lady Laisse,
I invite you to visit Vaneuler Palace, I wanted to discuss some issue with you.
-Prince Sansebastian Altaguire
My eyes widened and double check the letter. I thought I recieved Luxius' letter and why the hell would Sansebastian invite me in his Palace?
I bit my lower lip and start recalling things from the past. Was I summon by Sansebastian back then?
No, Im not!
Why the hell?
"My lady?"
"Sino ang nagbigay ng sulat kay Lilliane?" Tanong ko.
"It's Prince Luxius, my lady."
Mabilis akong tumayo at pumunta sa kearto ni Lilliane, pinigilan ako ng ilang katulong pero huli na ang lahat at nakapasok na ako sa kwarto ni Lilliane, napatalon pa sya sa gulat hawak ang sulat ni Luxius.
"Let me read that." I said, she look at her nanny.
"My lady--"
Hindi ko na sila pinakinggan at kinuha ang sulat.
Dear Lady Laissè,
I hope you are doing fine. I apologize for not visiting you as usual, but from today onward I apologize that I won't be visiting you anymore.
-Prince Luxius Cael Altaruige
What the hell?
This is not the letter I expected!
Something is wrong.
I bit my lower lip, and let the letter fell.
Why I feel nervous knowing that the past isn't repeating anymore?
"A-arthia!" Gulat ano ng nasampal ako ni Lilliane.
"Anong problema mo?!" Sigaw ko sa inis. If Im not thinking I won't let her filfthy hand slap me.
I was about to slap her when the maid push her away from me, she fell.
"Danna!" Sigaw ng nanny ni Lilliane at inalalayan sya.
"Ayusin mo ang pagpapalaki mo sa alaga ko Nita!" Sigaw ni Danna.
My eyes widened.
"Anong karapatan nyang sampalin ang Lady namin?" Sigaw ni Den.
Oh my gosh.
Oh my freaking gosh.
This happened before but in reverse. Back then I slapped Lilliane and I forgot the reason but now Im now one who's getting a slap and getting protected by the servants.
"Let's just leave." I said when I picked up my thoughts.
I should be happy, everything is going according to my plan but I felt anxious somewhat.
Parang may malaking kapalit ang mga ito.
I took a deep breathe as I felt the cold compress.
"Paumanhin Lady Arthia, hindi dapat namin hinayaan si Lady Lilliane na masampal ka." I close my eyes, still thinking.
"It's fine." I said and stood up. "I'll go for a walk in the garden."
I said, only Den followed me. And she's talking nonstop tryong to comfort me.
"Siguradong papagalitan ng Head maid si Nita nyan." Daldal nya. "Hindi nya tinuturuan ng tamang asal ang alaga nya kaya lumalaking paurong!"
"Its bad to bad mouth your Lady Den." I said then caress the bright red rose which is blooming.
"Pero she's not my Lady, my only Lady is Lady Arthia." I smiled and look at her, I plucked the rose and place it on her hair, she looks shocks. She's only 16 year's old and she started taking care of me when I was 6 years old, she's too young back then.
"You're too loyal Den." I praise her even though Im the one who killed her.
I wonder kung binigyan ko sya ng second chance noong nalaman nyang lalasunin ko si Lilliane tatahimik kaya sya at iiyak nung namatay ako?
"M-my Lady."
"Stay loyal until the day you die." I said then turn around.
I'll try to trust you and not murder you this time.
"I-i will, Lady Arthia." I heard her sobs so I chuckle.
But I stop when someone bump into to me.
"Aray!" Sigaw ng bata, sya pa ang may ganang magalit, tinitigan ko sya. My eyes widened, the little boy have the same eyes as me and a famillar blonde hair.
There's no child like him that I've met before, but Im starting to feel uneasy.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"My name is Theodore Laisse." My eyes widened.
"Young master!"
"Are you my sister?"

General Fiction[ P a r a l l e l U n i v e r s e ] "Die Arthia!" The last words I heard from my father, he shouted it with so much anger. "F-father." I said as I fell asleep in the fire I created. Arthia's a bitch. She has everything she wanted pero hindi sya...
