I Will Be The New Me
CHAPTRE 11

"Say, what do you want to tell me?"

Savero is now talking four-eyes with his eldest daughter in his study. The first thing Savero felt when he saw Quinn was gratitude for the girl still looking fine. Savero also gets a letter from his father that Quinn slept well last night without waking up at all.

"I want to ask you for help. Can we go to town tomorrow morning?"

Savero fused his eyebrows together. "Suddenly? what's the matter?"

"I want to paint a family picture with Dad, Killian, Grandpa, Penelope too. Maybe Uncle Vincent won't come."

Savero was still silent not understanding what to reply to. While Quinn seemed to be very expecting a satisfactory answer from him. How important was the painting to Quinn? that glare made Savero unbearable.

"All right, I'll come to the address you gave me. I'll try to get Killian and Penelope to come tomorrow." Actually Savero has a meeting with several partners who will discuss the expansion of coal mines in the Southern Helldelune Region.

Savero then looked at his daughter's face. He was eager to ask her how. Savero cannot say that the state of the house is not alive. "Quinn, how are you?"

Quinn looked at her father in disbelief. "Did he just ask me? I haven't been gone long." her mind was astonished. The little-faced girl smiled. "I'm good. From now on you don't have to worry about me anymore, I'll take care of myself. I'm not going to burden you so you're focused enough on Killian and your work."

Bak was struck by lightning in broad daylight, Savero felt his chest tight to hear his own daughter say that. Killian is more mature than Quinn, so Savero doesn't really care what his youngest son does because he believes Killian knows the risks of each action.

However, Savero never imagined Quinn would be blunt now. Quinn spoke with seriousness, despite being interspersed with a sweet smile.

"Oh yeah, I want to ask you something, dad."

"What's that?"

Quinn was sure that after this Savero would be fully aware that his daughter was no longer the meek girl who had always been relaxed. But Quinn did not want to waste any more time. He must be strong before that moment comes. The moment where the King wants to get his son and Quinn engaged.

"Dad, I've pondered many things. All this time my attitude must have been very embarrassing for Father and Killian. I've been troubling you every day because of my immaturity." Quinn was teary-eyed, making Savero confused to give what kind of reaction. Savero never expected Quinn to make a shocking confession upon her return from Bastien's house.

"I've learned a lot and now I want to be someone who's mature and independent." Quinn is forced to act as a weak girl who will cry every time she feels bad. "I promise I'll never count on anyone. I can live alone." Quinn put a hand on his chest and looked at the father with earnest intent.

"You don't have to say it all. What do you want to ask of me?"

Quinn wiped away her tears. "Dad used to say that Dad would split the land for me and Killian, didn't he?"

Savero jerks. Yeah, he did say that. Savero has four hectares of land and plans to share it with his two children when they are ready to manage themselves. "You want it now? what are you going to do with that land?"

"I'm going to start my own business."

Savero hesitates that too gentle Quinn is trying to start her own business. Anyone who knows what Quinn looks like will have the same thoughts as Savero. Yes, of course his daughter's business will not run smoothly. A huge loss he would definitely accept.

Quinn could see how anxious Savero was at his decision. "Dad not to worry. I'll start my business with direct grandfather's guidance. So he'll be my personal mentor hehehe."

Want Quinn to explain anything to him, Savero still doubted Quinn's ability to manage the business. But Savero had decided from the beginning that the land would belong to Quinn and Killian, which was the right of his daughter's son. "alright. You just choose which part you want to take."

"I want the West, close to Dad's mine."

"Uhuk! uhuk!" the tea water that Savero had sipped partially into his throat made the man choke and his nose felt a bit sore. "Are you sure?" Savero didn't know Quinn had already decided on his part that quickly.

While Quinn himself was already planning it, he would set up a factory near his father's mine to make it easier for Quinn to get investment from his father's partner. While building the factory, Quinn himself wanted to use a quarter of the land he owned to grow rosemary which would later become the main ingredient in his business.

"I'm sure. Can I manage it from tomorrow? I'll ask for the letter from you, Dad."

"Oh, okay."

Savero looked at Quinn's face. "My daughter has been well-established by her decision. It's not like he's from asking, he's got preparation for everything. Can I trust him this time?" Savero wondered in his heart.

"I'm done writing, Dad. Thank you." Thank you." Quinn immediately stood up from the sofa while carrying the land letter which from tomorrow will officially be his own. "I won't waste any more of my time. I'm going back to grandpa's house now, please don't forget tomorrow's agenda. I'm looking forward to it.

Quinn hurried away, leaving Savero in an abyss. Her feelings became mixed, "I'm like I lost my daughter." she muttered so softly that only she could hear.

The hip-length haired girl was astonished to see Raiden still continuing to chat with Penelope. Killian's not there anymore. Quinn is able to conclude that Killian cannot evict Raiden because of Penelope. So rather than him lingering on seeing Raiden's annoying face, he better go inside. "Is your mouth not tired?" quinn thought astonished.

Raiden looked at Quinn who had finished taking care of the land acceptance. The young man looked delighted, "It's over?" tanyanya attention. Again Penelope was put off when Quinn appeared in their midst.

"Um, yeah. Are you waiting for me, Raiden?" quinn asked was still acting like an innocent child. He glanced at Penelope to see her cousin's sister's response.

"Yes. I'm going home too. Since we're on the right now, do you want to come home with me?"

Quinn smiled happily as she nodded in agreement. "of course! thank you— but, didn't you come here only with a horse?" quinn was confused.

"I can take you on a horse. Do you mind?"

Quinn's white face changed to pink, he looked down embarrassed while muttering. "Close to Raiden like that, I never imagined it. It was so romantic." she was hysterical herself and it made Raiden chuckle.

"I want to!" quinn exclaimed merrily, his eyes twinkling with excitement and enthusiasm, "This is my first time riding a horse. It's so thrilling."

Both Raiden and Quinn, the couple's fiancee in the past is acting very skillfully. Raiden takes a greater interest in Quinn only for Penelope and Quinn's relationship to deteriorate so that she can utilize it for her plans. While Quinn pretends to still like Raiden to make Penelope feel what she felt first. Making someone jealous and upset is really fun.

Penelope is already flushed. He endured his frustration that had almost reached the crown. "What the fuck?! they're making out in front of me? they think I'm a spectator?!" it's in the heart.

Raiden then came up with a new idea. "Oh yeah, the day after tomorrow do you have time?"

"What's wrong?"

"I want to take you to the palace. You haven't been to my palace in a long time."

"Oh yes, I forgot. I haven't seen the King in a long time." Quinn also immediately got the same idea, he approached Penelope by holding his cousin's hands with hope. "Penelope, do you want to come? please come with me. We're already friends."

"E-uh? wh-but... Raiden just took you."

Raiden shook his head. "No, kok. Penelope, you can come too. We can have a threesome tea party if you want."

"seen? Raiden invited you too. Let's go with the day after tomorrow."

"Well, yeah..."

Minutes after they set out to gather at the palace, Raiden and Quinn left the mansion of the Shuvillian Count both. Penelope did not like it, but in her head at the moment she was already busy devising a plan to grab all the attention from Quinn.

Even Raiden in a short time has invited him to be friends, Penelope so increasingly convinced he will succeed in making Quinn neglected. "Thank you for taking me, Quinn. I've got a chance to take you down." a sneaky grin framed on her sexy lips.

Quinn could not dodge any more if his body and Raiden touched each other. How else, they ride instead of a horse-drawn carriage. Quinn wanted to sit in the back, but Raiden told her to sit in front of him.

In the past, this heartbeat became my favorite tune.

In the past, this scent was what I loved.

In the past, this body that I always wanted to embrace all my life.

In the past, it was this warmth that I had always longed to enjoy alone.

Quinn's heart was throbbing pain. Love and the pain of betrayal tear apart the heart of the girl. As a result, Quinn just kept crying. Looking at Quinn who kept her head down and hid her face, Raiden asked. "You scared, Quinn? be patient, we'll be here soon. Or do you want to stop for a second?"

"Eh? no. gabe. I'm fine."

"Thank God."

His smile is still the same. The longer I see it the more it drives me crazy. I could lose control and go on a rampage right now.

The look of all the people they passed through was different. Some looked happy, astonished, and disliked. Raiden kept talking to Quinn so she wouldn't focus on the gazes of the many humans down there.

"Raiden."

"Hm?" Raiden slightly lowered his head to look at Quinn's pretty face, the young man's shady gaze unchanged.

How could he act this way? what is Raiden's real purpose?

"What do you think? I asked about my cousin's sister. He's a very nice guy, isn't he?"

Raiden. In his heart he smiled triumphantly, feeling that Quinn was indeed infatuated with him. The girl's jealousy was quite great when it came to the Crown Prince.

"Yes, he is not a boring person if made friends vent. Ah, but you don't have to worry, I'm not in a relationship with him."

To hell with the relationship, Quinn did not ask him to interrogate. Quinn just wanted to guess what plot her cousin would take, she would help Penelope take Raiden's heart.

"You always seem uncomfortable when you're with me, but your gaze changes when you're chatting with Penelope. I was hoping you'd find a girl who really made you comfortable."

Quinn wants to get Raiden's opinion on the right track. Quinn realizes Raiden is starting to get suspicious when he deliberately ignores a love statement from her. With this, Savero's daughter hopes Raiden doesn't suspect her anymore.

To be honest, if this wasn't a big deal, Quinn didn't care if Raiden realized Quinn's feelings for her had gone. The thing is, he's dealing with a Raiden. A cold-blooded young man who killed his own father and slaughtered the entire Knight under his father's orders only to start a new history under his leadership. Although Raiden's youthful face always looked calm, no one could read his heart and mindset.

Just in case Quinn needed to change her attitude frequently while in front of Raiden.

Quinn and Raiden were both silent. They looked in different directions but with the same sharp cold spot. Even though they were close together like this, the two of them thought of two completely opposite things. Both seem to be making their own plans.

Raiden spurred his horse faster until they could feel the force of the wind that was pounding their bodies. "Quinn, you'll be mine."
