Die Arthia

B i l a n g XV

"What areyou doing here?!" Inis na tanong ko kay Lilibeth. She looks furious. She look at me with her furious eyes and ran to me. I saw Lilliane crying on her back.

She immediately choke me.

Oh my gosh, I'm not gonna die in your hands!

"You little bitch!" Sigaw nya at gigil akong sinakal. Pilit syang pinipigilan ni Den habang hindi maka ang ang ibang katulong.

Damn, it was nice having the people on the mansion on my back but their concerns are useless if they don't have power.

They all just watch me with pity while I'm about to die.

Now, pity is not what I need anymore!

Den was pushed on the floor, I saw her felt the pain that anger me. How dare she hurt my maid, I'm the only one who's allowed to hurt that thing!

"You bitch, pinahiya mo si Lilliane sa teacher nya!" Gigil na sigaw nya, I'm running out of air. This can't be my death. "At pinagbintangan mo pa syang magnanakaw!"

"Sister Tia!" I hear Thoedore entered the room. "You Lady!" Sigaw nya kay Lilibeth at hinila ito sa skirt but his strength isn't enough to stop Lilibeth.

"I-i can't b-breathe--C-caesar!" The only person I know who can help me right now is Caesar with his strength.

He immediately showed up and point a sword on Lilibeth which shook her.

"Are you okay Lady Arthia!" I gasped for air when she let go of me. Den and Theodore ran to catch me. Linda enter my room so Caesar pulled his sword back.

"Who the hell are you!?" Sigaw ni Lilibeth.

"Excuse my rudeness but I'm Lady Arthia's personal guard."

"D-do you know what you just did?" Gigil na tanong ni Lilibeth, fear is evident in her shaky voice.

"I protected my Lady, I carried my duty properly." He said.

"Do you even know me?" Lilliane walk to her crazy mother. "I'm the Marquess of this house and you dare, a Laissè Knight, pointed a sword on me, you can get fire or even executed if I tell this to the Marquis."

"I'm ready to get any punishment, but I only carrying my mission."

"Y-you'll tell father that y-you choked me?" I said, trying to look pitiful infront of everyone.

She just look at me realizing everything she did before dragging her daughter out of my room.

"Sister, do you want me to call the doctor?" Alalang tanong ni Theodore tsaka ako inalalayan sa higaan ko.

"Im fine, thanks Caesar." I said and look away. I'm still embarassed about the sword. "I'll talk to the Marquis if anything happen, please stay by my side." I said almost a whisper.

Maybe I'm just thankful that I have Caesar in my second life to protect me unlike before.

"I will stay by my Lady's side no matter what." He said before leaving.

"Tell everyone to leave me alone right now." I said to Den and put blanket on myself. "You too Theodore. I don't want to talk to anyone." I said then turn my back.

They can do nothing about my decision so they all just left.

When I felt comfortable alone, I started crying.

I felt so weak. I was so scared.

I though I was gonna die again without avenging my mother and myself.

I was really scared.

I don't know when I stopped crying but I woke up with Den's calling.

"The Marquis is looking for you at the dining." She said nervously.

"I-i don't want to go out." My throat is dry.

"B-but the Marquis is furious because you won't show up." I rolled my eyes. I felt weak after crying all day.

"I can't go." I said as I think of an idea. "Tell the Marquis that I'm scared to meet his mistress." I knew no one talk about what happened earlier to the Marquis.

As they feel pity on me, they were also scared of Lilibeth.

Pathetic lowly people.

"J-just go."

That night no one bothered me.

The next day no one bothered me or try to check on me, except Den and ofcourse, Theodore. It's not that I'm waiting for the Marquis to comfort me, I don't actually expect anything from that man anymore.

It's just that, I'm his blood, why won't he check on me or try to act as a father at least, I was about be murdered by his mistress yesterday.

It's just the same from the past.
