“Huaahh”
I'm still sleepy, I woke up too early this morning. I woke up because a part of Leathina's memory suddenly recalled in my memory and it made my head feel a little pain.
In memory of this time Leathina was only twelve years old she attended her first tea party and her half-sister Nicholas also went with her, it might be like a meeting among the children because I saw many other noble children also present in that way. Initially the tea party went well, there Leathina was silent while the other child was engrossed in talking about expensive clothes and toys they had just bought and then a child named Janneth from the Baron family suddenly changed the subject Janneth recounts how her mother took care of her and gave her what she wanted, then intentionally offended Leathina who was raised motherless by saying “Upss forgive me Miss Leathina, she said, I forgot that Miss Leathina must not know how a mother loves, because Miss Leathina was raised without a mother.” Hearing the words of Janneth who deliberately insulted Leathina then stood up and walked up to Janneth, without thinking Leathina immediately took a cup of tea from the table and poured it towards Janneth. Janneth then cried loudly to make all the children at the banquet very surprised. Because Leathina just kept quiet without telling them what really happened people misunderstood Leathina thought she was doing it for no reason. The opportunity was then used by Janneth to exaggerate the incident he said that Leathina was crazy, Nicholas who was late to see the incident did not know the truth and immediately reported it to Duke Leonard, who was, Leathina was given seven days in her room.
They all had no idea what the child was doing to Leathina. Even Leathina's father did not ask Leathina to explain what really happened and instead directly punished Leathina.
“huh in the world where I come from and in the world where Leathina lives there are always people who like to spread hoax.”
“Nona Leathina, please eat your breakfast otherwise the food will soon be cold and it is already not good to eat. From earlier Miss Leathina just daydream.”
“Ah yes well will I eat thank you Anne.”
“But miss what does Hoax mean? I just heard the lady mention it.”
“Oh that I read it in the book hoax it means the information is not true that is disseminated by people who are not responsible.” And I forgot that Anne was here with me, too, I slipped.
“Oh like that well, means same as the gibber yes?”
“Ah.. yes just think of it like that.”
“So so.”
“Anne, duke Leonard yesterday told me that there will be a celebration in the kingdom.”
“Yes it is the anniversary of the emperor which will be held soon, but if calculated now the celebration will be done in the near future, miss was even invited specifically because she was Prince Yardley's fiancee. Miss must not have read the invitation? The invitation is on the table the lady has been sent by the kingdom since two days ago.”
“Really I did not know that there is a letter.”
“Wait a minute I'll get miss.”
“Huh no need, after all I already know what it is.”
“Ohiya, previously I did not tell miss but looking at the state of miss now may be okay.”
“What is Anne?”
“Nona Leathina must immediately buy a dress to attend the invitation.”
“Really?” This is a good opportunity for me, please, I will use the reason to go shopping in the city then I will also check and observe the streets in the city I also have to learn the life and atmosphere outside the mansion if you want to mingle later.
“Because Miss Leathina is still in recovery, then I will call the owner of the clothing store and bring her here so miss only need to choose the clothes she likes without having to spend a lot of energy.”
“eh. don't. I'm going downtown to buy my own clothes.” I have to see the state of the city and its streets first then memorize it later so that when I am ready to escape I can get away with it easily later.
“But Duke Leonard will not allow Miss Leathina to leave the mansion, noting that she has just come out of her coma and is still recovering, what else miss never fainted and unconscious for three days just because of the shock of seeing a lot of people.”
“Just tell him that I just take a walk for a while this is also good for restoring health and just calm down this time I will not faint again.”
“But?”
“This time I have to exit Anne, I can instead die because I continue to be confined in this mansion.”
“iya. yes I will tell you”
“Tok.. tok..
While Leathina and Anne were still talking, suddenly a knock came from outside.
“Oh it looks like today miss the arrival of visitors again, wait a minute I will check first.”
Anne then left Leathina and walked towards the door to check who this time had come to visit Leathina. After a while Anne came back to Leathina to tell her who had come.
“Who is Anne?”
“Young master Nora came to visit you miss, do I have to tell her to visit next time?”
“No. Just tell Nora to come in.”
“Alright then excuse me to prepare tea and snacks for miss and young master Nora.”
Anne then walked back to the door to let Nora in and close the door from the outside.
“Kakak Leathina.”
“Oh you came Nora, what brings you here?”
“Ah it. I just want to visit you.”
“Good sit down first.”
“Iya thank you brother Lea.”
“But I can't take you to play Nora, my head is a little dizzy.”
"It's okay, sister Leathina, I also have to complete my reading assignment given by my teacher.” Nora showed Leathina the book she was holding.
“Nora, I'll lie on my bed to ease the pain in my head. Is it okay you I live alone here Nora?”
“Iya it's okay, sister Leathina. But can I read next to you?”
“What are you not going to be distracted later?”
“No it's not a problem for me.”
“Alright you can read next to me, but try not to make a fuss.”
“Alright brother thanks, I will make sure not to bother you.”
Why Nora likes to visit Leathina so much, when I think their relationship is not too familiar. I don't really remember the story in the novel about Nora, it's because Nora was just an extra and the author only told about the tragic events about Nora's death. I have already said that he can come anytime if he wants, but let's just say Nora will also get tired of coming to visit me.
