Chapter 12 B2: THE AWAKENING I

Lumine's POV

The gentle yet soft breeze passes my body sending shivers down my spine, the smell of fresh flowers after rain lingering beyond my bedroom and the sound of me flipping a page from a strange book in which I just found by a random shelf.

A smile was placed on my face, stunned by the climax of the story "this is a good book looks like the ones mother reads" I said as I flipped the page.

It has been a week since the incident with Kody and Aiden, though I don't intended talking about them or asking about them to mother, I just heard rumors among the butlers yesterday when they're gathering the guest's clothing, I heard them whispering suspiciously as they fidget. Placing the guest's dirtied clothes by the washer, I was walking around the place after the test that my mother suggested that my suitors would do. And ended up at a room where I shouldn't be but the butlers and mother

I looked around the room and made a hideous face, for I have smelled an unknown stench coming from the room.

"Oh dear.... Isn't this an awful smell" the lady butler said observing the cloth as she placed it by the counter, she put on some freshly cleaned gloves and started her duty, Curious from what guest they are talking about I suddenly slipped and hit the floor making a loud echo letting the maids and butlers hear it, they flinched and turned my way they all greeted me with a smile while the others helped me get on my feet. They dusted off the dirt on my clothes and asked me what am I doing here, "I was walking around since it's been awhile and ended up here" with a smile they let out a sigh of relief and assu1 to 46med I didn't hear anything since mother's household is quite strict maybe because of the head Butler that mother and the guests' are talking about. Leaving the conversation there I said my goodbyes and told them "don't worry I won't tell mother you guys chit chatted but please keep it low mother's ears are very sharp. They nodded and proceed doing the laundry,
Walking through a quiet hallway while glancing at the displayed paintings on the walls made me more curious about this place, what was mother doing here while I was gone? I asked myself as I passed a lot of paintings and suddenly stopped on this particular one, I faced the painting tilting my head. The painting made me uncomfortable at first but it curiosity got the best of me and I started to observed it. As I was about to touch the rough fabric one of my suitors called my name snapping my senses back to me, I walked away as I left a final glance of the painting and went back to the living room.

As I finally walked to the room filled of familiar faces, their eyes looking at me. I smiled and sat beside my mother who is about to announce who passed the test, my mother squinted her eyes and made a dissapointed look on her face, she looked at me giving me a sign to get close to her. I leabed myself onto her as she whispered "they all took the test seriously and passed at the same time" I was surprised by the results but at the same time amazed how these 4 young men have passed

"Isn't it just a coincidence how about they do the test again?"

They all made a confused look, looking at eachother at what conversation me and my mother are having. Tho if we let them take another test i'm sure it will be tiring, what other way should we decide on?

My mother pinched her chin as she thought of a way to sort this out, with a sound of a "hmm" coming from her mouth and the continuously tapping of her heels. The parents murmured to eachother making my mother finally thought of a solution, she pulled me to an empty room pushing me in first after telling the guests "Can you wait for a minute?" They all nodded and sat down comfortably

Closing the door behind her she placed two hands on my shoulders and directly aligned my face to hers "Sweetie do you mind having a fake marriage?" She said, making a confused look I moved back a little since I was feeling uncomfortable, I sighed and smiled at her saying "Well as long as it's fake I don't mind but why do you want me to get married though?" I asked,
