"Well! Look Madam! There are a lot of berry plants and some other fruits!" Vallene.
"Be careful, just take as much as Vallene will eat. Just call me Ema, I want us closer." Ema said.
Vallene looked at Ema as she was still hesitant, after which Ema thought Vallene disliked her. Ema became pouted.
"Alright, Ema." said Vallene with a smile.
Ema was stunned, Ema then leaned her head and smiled.

...
They had already gathered the fruit they were about to pick up, Vallene was sitting on a large rock fragment waiting for Ema to prepare a fruit basket for the fruit they could carry.
"Did Ema live alone in this forest? How long?" Vallene.
"Yes, it's been a while until I don't remember it" Ema replied while putting fruit into a fruit basket.
"Is it fun? I know that sometimes it's soothing and cool, but sometimes it's lonely" Vallene said.
"Hmm, yes.., yes." replied Ema.
...
"Ema, why would you prefer to live in the forest alone? Igine has been accepted by many people, you can move to the city." asked Vallene.
"It was different, before it became the garden of the big tree as it is today, believe me that we are now living in the most developed and prosperous city." replied Ema who made Vallene confused.
"Is that the reason why there are so many ruins here? Ah, like I'm sitting here. This stone seems to be a wall or part of a building" said Vallene.
"Yes, this is my house. I'm not moving anywhere. Besides.., the Igine out there is different like us." Ema said.
"Different...?" Vallene is confused.
"You were surprised when you saw me for the first time, it signified that I was like you're new to me" said Ema.
"Actually, I've never met Igine before you. You are the prettiest Igine" Vallene said with a faint smile.
"Thank you.., we are the real Igine, and the one on the outside is the mixed Igine. Igine never left this forest" Ema said.
"So..., not only are you here?" ask Vallene.
"Yes, that's why this forest is forbidden to enter" said Ema.
...
"Wait..., what's the name of this forest...?" ask Vallene.
"Rosina, we're in Rosina." replied Ema.
Vallene was stunned, for some reason he looked surprised.

"Are you really in a safe place?" restless her.
"Yes Vallice, now Vallene is at the house of the nanny I trust so much. Relax, it's also for her good." Kenneth calms.
Vallene breathed.
"What exactly does mom want." murmured Vallice in a desperate tone.
Kenneth just fell silent and gave Vallice a backrest, Kenneth's face became serious.
"We'll be here soon, wipe your tears. Mrs Fred will be angry if you see you are sad" Kenneth said as he wiped Vallice's tears.
Long story short, they've reached Fred's residence.
As soon as they got out of the car and into the house, there Franschine was sitting straight and flat-faced.
"Welcome mama." welcome Vallice, but with a cold tone and a nonchalant expression. Kenneth who was behind Vallice became strange.
Why is Vallice's attitude like that...?
"Welcome my beloved daughter, sit beside me so that I can take off my shade" Franschine said with a flat face and a flat voice, Franschine also addressed the newspaper he read.
Vallice walked over and sat next to Franschine, they were really close together but there was no more communication. Franschine focused on his newspaper and Vallice seemed lazy and uncaring.
What kind of situation is this...?
Kenneth was really confused by the relationship between mother and child. As Kenneth tried to think hard, Franschine put down his newspaper and looked at Kenneth.
"Yes Madam." replied Kenneth professionally and politely.
Franschine smiled as he seemed interested in Kenneth. Kenneth knew it, but he didn't know what it meant.
"Sir Zeint really had a sweet and handsome son. If I don't let them be together, you won't be created. So.., according to." said Franschine.
What the fuck?
"Sure Madam, I will always obey my Master and serve you well" Kenneth replied elegantly.
Franschine's face seeing Kenneth's response made him suddenly make his face flat again briefly.
"Damn it, your aura cannot be guessed. I hate people who don't obey, thank God you're Zeint's son." Franschine said with a slight annoyance.
Not much response was issued Kenneth and it made Franschine upset and left the place.
...
Huh...,
"Vallice.., I'm going back to my room, you're also resting." Kenneth said.
Vallice smiled and nodded.
***
"I'm finally done with all my work" Kenneth said, satisfied that he was finally able to return home.
He walked down the front door steps and walked out step by step with a relieved heart.
...
"Sir Kenneth! Wait!"
He was stopped by a call from someone, it was Vallice with her nightgown and her messy appearance.
"Eh Vallice? What's up?" answer Kenneth.
Vallice's breath was puffing, she couldn't say anything yet.
Kenneth approached him and asked him the same thing once again.
"What's wrong?" said Kenneth softly.
...
"Emm.., that..." Vallice is a little awkward.
"Hmm? What's up?" lirih Kenneth's.
"Is Vallice worried about Vallene?"
Kenneth guessed Vallice's heart, and then he sighed.
"Just calm down, Vall-"
...
"I THINK I LIKE MY SISTER!" vallice shouted with a hopeful face.
"Vallice.., that...." Kenneth was being misbehaved and awkward, it seemed that his body had become slightly trembling.
"How can you.., uh...." Kenneth didn't know what to say.
"Because, when I first met my sister.... It makes me happy, and when I was near brother...., I felt happy...? Isn't that a feeling of love?" Vallice.
At least the book I read says something like that...
...
Who taught this? Vallene's?
"Wait, wouldn't it be if Vallene was next to you that you would feel the same way? Means you love me just as much as you love Vallene." Kenneth said as he patted Vallice's head softly.
"But..., this is different...! I love my sister but, but.., it's different.." Vallice said in a shrieking voice.
"Hmm? Vallice, I love you but we're too young to think of love. Let's talk about this we're adults" Kenneth said in a soft voice and a soothing face.
Does Kenneth understand...? How is my love meant?
"Well, Vallice will wait for that day to come. I will always wait for the answer." said Vallice with a gentle smile, looking sincerely at Kenneth as if his happiness had arisen.
