The Earl's Daughter

Night XXII

(A/N belated Merry Christmas everyone. I was supposed to post this on Christmas day but apparently the signal in my country is so shitty that I can't post. Sorry for the inconvenience and hope you guys understand.)

Ellen tried to not look distressed and act like she was actually having a great time at her bachelorette party. But despite how fun the party really is, the thought of her sister being imprisoned in the Black Order's base in another country always kept on crossing her mind. And that alone quickly pulled her mood down.

'What if they tortured her like how the Australian branch did to me back when I was younger? Who am I kidding, of course they are going to torture her just for being related to me. What if —'

Apparently her acting wasn't as convincing as she had thought it was because Road approached her and tapped her shoulder lightly startling her from her thoughts.

"Is everything alright, Ellen-chan?" Road asked. "You seem a little upset. You should be enjoying tonight. It is a party to celebrate your and Uncle Tyki's engagement after all."

So I told her about what had transpired earlier that day.

"Oh, Ellen. I'm so sorry for what had happened to your sister. But don't worry yourself too much. We'll find a way to rescue her. We are your family and will always be at your back," Road consoled as she hugged me.

"Thank you, Road. I needed to hear that," I said as I smiled lightly.

"Now chin up. I'll help you talk with the Earl tomorrow about it. For now, you should enjoy the party," Road stated as she began to drag me towards the buffet to grab some desserts claiming that it will help lighten my mood and it slightly did.

After that I danced with Tyki for a little bit before excusing myself claiming that I was exhausted. I headed to my room and laid down on my bed.

Tomorrow, Road and I are going to ask Papa for help. Hopefully he agrees.
