“What is it?” I asked.
“What do you an by strange?” I asked again.
“Oh, no. Uhmmm about the Einte family...” Sally’s voice trailed off as she glanced at apprehensively. My frown deepened as I looked at her suspiciously.
I moved my head to look closely and ascertain if everything was alright. I wanted to know more about what was bothering her, she had been acting strange and secretive for quite a while.
“I rembered one of my mother’s acquaintances who had a little bit of connection with the Einte’s, and I’m sure that... she said there was only one daughter in the family.” Sally replied and I let out a sigh.
“Iana has a brother, but maybe I was mistaken since I was still little back then, my mory may not be accurate. However, the last ti we talked about them, Countess Einte was a person from the South region.” Sally answered as I stared at her inquisitively.
“Is that so?” I replied while pursing my lips. She suddenly looked like she was thinking deeply.
“Well, I guess I was wrong.” Sally laughed awkwardly and waved her hands in the air as if she was shrugging off what she just shared as sothing nonsensical. She looked apologetic that she had changed the mood around her for sothing that seed quite silly now.
“Ah, I don’t think that is what it is.” Baron said.
I didn’t deny or affirm the statents they shared. However, the whole conversation made feel bad. I guess I just felt a little uncomfortable inside.
Was this really my family? Was this really the family where I belong to?
Furthermore, we had nothing more to talk about.
Even if we wanted to prolong the conversation, that wasn’t possible because dinner break ti was over.
“Oh, I think I should go and visit Ricdor...” I announced and let out a sigh while looking down.
Truthfully, I was worried as I made my way to see Ricodorian, when I was stopped in my tracks. There was a blockage in the short distance and when I tried to go further, I was instead asked to wait until the stairs were fully nd. It seed like it would take awhile for to get to Ricdorian.
“I was so distracted with my brother and family.” I thought as I waited at the sidelines. I asked again the guard stationed if he would let pass but he shook his head and told it would still take ti to repair the stairs.
“Repair the stairs?” I asked.
“Yes, one of the guards must have made a mistake and dropped a torch, while making rounds which almost caught the entire floor on fire.” The guard explained and I nodded my head in understanding. The place was prone to accidental fires after all.
The torches here used to be made of iron. And as I looked down, I spotted that one of the corners of the stairs had a smashed part, as if sothing heavy was purposely dropped over it.
“Then what about the prisoner in the underground cell?” I asked again.
“Oh, he’s all right. It happened only in the staircase passage the prisoner is safe.” The guard reassured .
However, I was still worried.
The problem was that I could see smoke and soot coming out of the passageway. I can’t get past it and take a better look because of the guard standing in front of , but my gut tells it may have been a big ss.
“Did this happen today?” I questioned him.
“Eh? Yes, it did.” The guard answered.
If only I could turn back the ti. If I had not been distracted and t Ricdorian as scheduled, I would have had enough ti to see him before this whole incident happened.
I bit my lips in frustration, I ca down here for nothing.
From the news of Archduke Harnim’s visit to Jair’s contact and to my brother’s unexpected appearance, everything happened at a timing that I always end up missing. Was the god of ti upset with ?
“It’ll be over soon.” The guard may have noticed my panicked look, and said that to calm my nerves.
When I thought of Ricdorian, I rembered that day when I saw him fall on the floor with a terrible wound and therefore I decided to close my eyes for a mont.
‘No, stop! I don’t want to rember.’ I told myself as I willed for those images to clear out of my head.
My fists were clenched. I need to figure sothing out, I was growing anxious by the minute.
Lenag said that it would take four days for Archduke Harnim to get here. That ans that not counting today, he will arrive in three days.
Would there be a way to make contact with Jair within that ti?
Okay, I’ll find a way to make contact with him sohow.
Soon, I realized I could try sothing because I still had the bracelet Jair gave . But I didn’t even try that option. It was because I was called out from my room not long after I returned that I had not the ti to test it out.
“Hello, Miss Iana.” I was pulled out of my thoughts by the sudden intrusion of a familiar voice. I turned around to face the one who called .
It was none other than Lenag. I wasn’t even surprised, who else would call here?
Looking at the clock, it was now closer to dawn than evening.
“I thought you’d be surprised by the sudden call.” Lenag told .
“No. I’m not.” I answered.
It was strange being called at this ti of the night, but I tried to suppress expressing it.
I’ve had so guesses. I wonder if it’s about my brother.
He kissed gently on the back of my hand and I could not help but gaze at his falling hair. My already anxious mind was more rattled and my nervous heart was pounding harder by the gesture.
He held out his arm towards , as if noticing my unstable state. I placed my hand on top, the area where my heart was, and pressed my fingers down on it with more pressure before following Lenag. When we seed to arrive at the place he intended I sat down where he led .
“You saw your brother.” He told .
“Ah...”
I didn’t know this would co up right away. I let out a sigh instead of an answer. My brother didn’t co to see , but he saw . That‘s what really happened.
“How did you know?” I asked.
“Yes, he told and left.” He answered briefly.
‘Oh, he told you? That’s expected I guess.‘ I thought.
“Well, then.” I nodded at him. This ti I was sitting with a little composure, and feeling more comfortable.
“I’ve waited for him for several minutes, but he ca straight to you.”
Lenag’s voice was flowing smoothly like that of a river running serenely, but for so reason, I felt pale.
For a mont, I saw his eyes sharpened like a forged sword.
Even if his eyes were not blades, the sharp-looking person before hardened his expression wherein I felt scared. I was facing such a grueso man, that I almost choked on my own saliva as I swallowed.
The sight of him right now was so cruel and bloody that I wanted to run.
