Gorgeous Jewel
Chapter I Chapter 6

A fairly majestic horse carriage stopped in front of the castle of Duke Strongfort's residence. When the door opened, a young girl stepped out. Black hair with two pigtail ties and blue eyes that look familiar, indicating that he is one of the successors of the Strongfort family.

A few servants greeted his arrival. "Welcome back, miss." Hilda the butler.

"Yes" He replied briefly when he handed his blazer to one of the servants nearby.

The reaction of the servants was different. Iris is respected for her ability. Many people said that he would be the successor of the Strongfort family.

Besides genius in magic. His academic value and cleverness in taking care of some family matters deserves a thumbs up.

Iris and Hilda followed several other servants walking in. "Oh yeah, where's my dad?"

"Master is in his study."

"Is there any other news about what happened at this residence?"

Aside from Miss Alicia's assassination attempt, there's nothing else. They began to interlock lyrics, waiting for anyone who wanted to answer that question.

Hilda sighed. "Apart from the incident about Miss Alicia there's nothing else."

His face suddenly looked upset. "That idiot? Hmph, always bothering the family?" Benak Iris's. "Otherwise this time?" Ask iris firmly.

"About two weeks ago some hit man tried to kill Miss Alicia. Miss Alicia disappeared for three days. Fortunately we managed to find the lady. But because of that incident. Miss Alicia was heavily injured and unconscious for a week."

A murder? Iris frowned. It seems like some people are starting to target his family. But why must he?

"Then where is my brother now?"

"Miss Alicia is in her room right now."

"Is that so?" Iris looked back and gestured to Jane her personal servant. "You can go. Don't forget to call me at dinner.

"Well miss." Hilda bowed and left with the other servants.

Iris walked down the castle corridor to Alice's room. Crossing the servants who were at work, Iris accidentally heard some of them talking about Alice.

"How's it going?"

"I? I almost fell because of Miss Alicia?"

"Why?"

"I was tidying up the books in the library, when the stairs I was using swayed, I thought I was going to fall to the floor, but you know what? Miss Alicia came and suddenly caught me."

"Keep what's next?"

"Like a princess in a prince's arms. 'Are you okay?' Said the lady at that time." The waiter jumped up and down in excitement. "Haaah, my heart seemed to want to jump out when it saw the face of the lady up close." He then covered his face in shame.

"www..."

Huh huh? I didn't hear wrong, did I?

Iris shook her head in disbelief. He continued walking and ignored them. But when he saw some servants gathered again, Iris stopped and listened to them.

"really so. I saw it for myself." Confident a servant girl to her friend. "That time I was just delivering a few snacks but I'm sure I saw Baroness Linslett smile."

"Baroness Linslett smiling?

"Yes. I don't know what happened before but their atmosphere felt so familiar. I even feel like they're like peers."

Iris was astonished. He could barely hold his mouth in shock. How could the famous Baroness Linslett with a cold and hard attitude in her students smile at Alice whose in fact ethics she is not above average. Even I had to take great pains to be able to pass her guidance.

"Should I go there and ask them, miss?"

"no need. We'll know after seeing my brother"

After almost reaching Alice's room, Iris and Jane stopped. From behind the window, they saw a girl standing under a tree with a servant accompanying her.

The girl seemed to be holding something placed in front of her mouth. Out of curiosity Iris walked a little closer. "He's....Who..?" Thought

In the wind that blows softly. The soft, golden-yellow hair waving so beautifully as the wind caressed her. The melodious sound that seemed to emerge from the small tube that the girl was blowing in made Iris unable to turn her eyes away.

The girl just stood up and played a piece of music but she was like a goddess coming out of a painting. The tone of the instrument is so melodious and soothing. Somehow Iris subconsciously held onto her chest.

what kind of nostalgic feeling is this? Like I missed something.

When the girl finished blowing her instrument. He sat back down and Iris regained consciousness.

"Jane...Do you know who he is?"

" Seeing from the physical side there is no one in this castle who has such a characteristic other than Madam and Miss Alicia." Obviously Jean.

Iris looked at him seriously again. Her...The alice? My sister? Convincing herself by looking at Jane while putting on a questionable face. Jane nodded her question.

Iris also immediately approached Alice even though she was actually still unsure. "You...What are you doing here?"

Alice turned her head and smiled looking at Iris "As you can see. We're having a picnic here." The reply. Alice had actually noticed the presence of people staring at them from afar, but how she did not expect that it was her own sister and personal servant.

" Do you..want to join?"

"Huh? No need." Iris looked at Mary and returned to Alice. I don't know what's going on but the aura around him feels different from that stupid, reckless brother of mine.

"Yes. Good thing I can still survive them."

With a relaxed face and still able to smile, Iris was irritated by him.

"At least you're not ruining the family's reputation anymore out there." Insinuations.

Alice herself could not take her eyes off Iris. He was eager to jump out of his place and hug Iris.

Looking at the cute face with those two pigtails, Alice could barely hold her hand.

The angry little face looked cute and adorable to Alice.

"What are you looking at?"

"No, nothing."

Weirdo? I felt that she was very different from my old sister. Maybe I should try something.

Iris got closer and equalized her height with Alice sitting. A small amount of Mana gathered on Iris's fingers. Then he made a light electric wave on his hand.

Alice smiled at Iris. He could sense the Mana fluctuations that were gathering on him. "I think he'll do the same trick again. Should I pretend or not?" Her thought.

Iris took Alice's wrist and began to release a small amount of electric waves.

Alice clenched her teeth holding back the shock the magic gave her.

"I hope you don't continue to damage our family's reputation." Rigorously.

Mary was worried to see the two ladies. Their mood doesn't look so good.

"You don't have to worry about that." Alice wrapped around Iris's hand holding one of her hands with the other "I know I was wrong. So, from now on I'll fix my mistake." Further.

"You..." Iris immediately pulled her hand.

"Anything.he wasn't like this before. What when he wanted to be killed he accidentally hit his head?" Benak Iris's.

Iris stood up again. With a sharp look iris asked "Who are you really?"

Mary and Jane were shocked to hear the question. Isn't she Alice? At any rate, she was Miss Alicia, the first daughter of the Strongfort family.

"My answer!" Snap Iris.

I saw Alice stay silent. Iris orders Jane and Mary to stay away from them.

"Because you're silent. Don't blame me for being rude."

Iris quickly attacked Alice with an electric ball.

Alice was not silent. He swiftly jumped back and dodged the attack.

"Tell me, where is Alice?"

After he saw Alice dodging her attack from such a close distance with ease. He was more convinced that the one in front of him was not his brother.

"I don't understand what you're saying Iris. It's me, Alice. Your brother."

"You! Then I'll force you to say it."

[Lighting Bolt] [Lighting Arrow]

Iris launched a number of magic attacks quickly. Even so. Alice still shrewdly avoided them. Iris was upset. Either upset because someone disguised himself as his brother or because he did not know where and what happened to his brother at this time.

"Where is he!?" Shouted Iris

Mary and Jane were very worried about seeing them. The two looked at each other and agreed to call Ernard to stop them.

Alice saw the look on Iris's face not so good. He felt that there was sadness that could be radiated from his eyes. Is he really worried about me?

Alice then relaxed herself. "This time I'm gonna teach you a little bit of my little brother's lesson." Mumbled slowly.

Alice took a swing and prepared her position.

[Lighting Arrow ] Iris with the same magic shot a barren electric arrow towards Alice.

With a calm demeanor, Alice dodged the attack while moving quickly shortening their distance.

Meanwhile, Iris increasingly lost her composure because her attacks never hit Alice, she began not to pay attention to her surroundings.

[Lightings Storm ]

Suddenly a massive Mana fluctuation encompassed the area around them. Alice could sense that this time her attack would cause a powerful explosive force. Alice who had been approaching finally returned away from Iris.

Cold air like a storm began to gather between them, spinning slowly and pulling objects around him, not least Alice who almost lost her horses. The whirlwind was filled with electricity, anything that was sucked in would be torn apart.

Because Alice's movement stopped due to the cyclone's vortex. Iris condensed Mana around her and formed a spear.

Ernard who panicked after seeing from a distance, he rushed to run towards them, but he was late after Iris unleashed her magic. "Iris! Stop that!"
