Die Arthia

B i l a n g XIX

My voice roared in the whole Mansè.

Everyone got nervous and I'm about to cry.

"Sister calm down." The ten year old bug tried to calm me down.

I look at my ruined gown.

"Who the hell tear my gown?!" Sigaw ko. "I'm gonna kill whoever it is!" The servants look scared. "Oh my God, Den!" Tawag ko sa nanginginig na si Den.

"L-lady Arthia."

"Call Madame Lusy, tell her to bring--No call a wizard!" I can't think of anything anymore.

"Whoever did this to my sister will pay big time!" The bug stood up. "All of you, get out!" He looks like me when he's mad and it's scary.

"Caesar." I called for my knight who immediately showed up. "Do you know a wizard?" I asked, my tone is really down. And I'm really about to cry.

"Duke Ariese has a wizard Lady Arthia." I look at him.

"T-the Duke?" I asked. He nodded.

"How am I suppose to ask the Duke's wizard?!" Inis na tanong ko. My eyes darted to Lilliane who walk passed by my room and smirked.

You bitch.

"The Duke favors you a lot Lady Arthia." Caesar which remind me of the Duke sending me gift when he heard that the gift he gave me was stolen. I don't know why it went out but no one know who's the thief, except the people who new what happened back then.

"Do you think the Duke will let his wizard to fix my dress is a short period of time?"

I know I'm being desperate. I was like this before I died, desperate and pathetic but this time I don't really have a choice. I don't want to look awful at the ceremony and it's once in a lifetime event. I'll make impression in the event so it's really important.

"Why don't you send a letter to the Duke with and I'll asked someone to send it to the Duke's state?" He asked having a point.

"Why don't you send it yourself?" I signed Den to give me a pen and paper. I started writing my plea to the Duke.

"I'm afraid I can't leave milady's side." Caesar being Caesar.

"Why not don't go to that event sister. I'm not there anyways?" The bug asked.

"Are you stupid?" I asked still focus on my letter.

"Just saying sister." Hindi ko na sya pinansin. I gave the letter with the box of my gown to Caesar's trusted comrade.

"Send it fast and wait for the Duke's respond." I said, Caesar talked to the knight before letting him go. "I should go check gowns for plan B." I said to my self and ran to my closet. There's room in my bedroom that is full of my clothes and accessory. Den and Theodore followed me like always.

Nothing is my liking. I heard that Lilliane is already preparing for tonight. I can't believe hindi man lang ako nakabawi.

When I found a simple white dress I got contented and let the make up artist and hair dresser prepare me.

"You look beautiful as always sister." Theodore said. "It's a pity that I can't dance you tonight." He said blushing. He's almost my height at his young age, while when I was ten remember myself half of his height.

"Here's your gown Lady Arthia, the Duke sent a reply." I nervously open the box, my violet off shoulder gown shines. It was fix. I smiled with relief.

I open the letter.

I hope I did helped you with it Lady Laisse. Congratulations on your coming-of-age.

I smiled. If I'll be born again I'd like to be the Duke's daughter. But Duke Ariesè doesn't have a wife or a son at his age. I think he's devoted into something.

I wore my gown and went downstair. Lilibeth and the Marquis is waiting for us already. I saw Lilliane across the hall way ready to go down. She looks shock when she saw me.

"You failed big time dear sister." I said then walk downstair with her.

"I dont know what you're talking about." She tried to act innocent, it's irritating as hell so I didn't mind her.

When we reach the first floor, Marquis and Lilibeth immediately ran into her leaving me behind.

Im not shock but the servants looks concern again. I just smiled at them and followed the three to the kalesa.

Nothing's new anyways.

"Enjoy your night Lady Arthia!"
