Miss Most Perfect Beauty
Truth
The next day, everyone in Eginhardt's residence is shocked by Debby, who is found hanging in front of the mansion's gates in a state of two severed hands. People say that Debby's dead from a lot of blood loss. Scarlesia suddenly became the conversation of the people inside and outside the mansion.
“Nona, everyone is excited because of you,” Erin reports.
Scarlesia is currently busy trying on the dresses that she ordered to Ellie a few days ago, she looks not concerned at all with the other people's talk about her.
“Ya let them. I only taught Debby a lesson that dared to be brash,” replied Scarlesia lightly.
“But for sure people will look bad Miss, when just a few days ago Miss shocked the whole city because of Miss's action that destroyed the slave market,”
Erin wore a gloomy expression, she could not accept if others dared to vilify Scarlesia.
“Please wait, later the rumors will also subside by itself,”, said Scarlesia who has since twisted her body in front of a large mirror to see the reflection of herself wearing a dress in the mirror.
“Alright Miss,” replied Erin while exhaling a rough breath.
“Oh yes Hana, I have made a bottle of medicine for your mother. You take it to your house yes,” Scarlesia said pointing to her desk.
“Good, thank you Miss. Thank you,” said Hana very happy.
After trying on her dresses, Scarlesia sat down to relax for a while on her bed. At the moment he did not want to do anything but sleep and eat. He was very tired because these few days a lot of things happened.
Tok tok tok tok
Wilson knocks on Scarlesia's door and enters her. Looks like Wilson brought some pretty important news Scarlesia. He got up from his position and tried to listen to what Wilson would tell him.
“Nona, I was ordered by His Majesty Duke to take you to his study,” Wilson said.
“What problem is there? Tell Your Majesty if I am not going to meet him,” Scarlesia refused gently, she was going to lay her body back down.
“Your Highness said he would tell Miss everything,”
“Good! Then I'll be there now,”
Scarlesia immediately rose from her position, she asked Erin and Hana to dress her up a little because without even dressing up she was already beautiful. Finished dressing up, they went together to Eldrick's study. When they got there, it turned out that there was Carlen as well and they seemed to be waiting for Scarlesia's arrival.
“Greetings to His Highness the Duke and the first young master,” Scarlesia said as she bowed.
“Please sit Sia,” tell Eldrick.
Scarlesia was sitting on the sofa and on the table was available a cup of tea and some snacks to accompany their conversation. Eldrick had everyone out first except Scarlesia and Carlen, now only the three of them were in the room.
“I heard what you did to Debby last night,” Eldrick said.
“Yes, I just did what I was supposed to do. I can't let a guy like Debby roam this mansion, it's going to hurt us. I want to teach others to not do something like Debby,” Scarlesia replied with a flat expression.
“Yes that's how Eginhardt should be, don't worry all the rumors that are spread about you will definitely disappear later,”
Eldrick and Carlen looked at each other, they both sighed before they explained everything to Scarlesia.
“Sia, earlier I apologized to you for ignoring you for the past few years,” Eldrick said bending his expression.
“I also apologize to you Sia,” added Carlen to apologize.
“I will forgive you if you give me the right explanation about that,”
Scarlesia sipped her tea casually even though in fact now her curiosity had completely peaked. She couldn't wait to find out about the reason they were acting this way to her.
“Alright, I'll tell you everything from the beginning,”
Eldrick said that it all started with his mother's death. Little Scarlesia, who plans to go outside to play with Larissa, eventually wreaks havoc in her family. Larissa died while protecting Scarlesia from those who wanted to kill her. From here Scarlesia's suffering begins, she is considered Larissa's killer because people say if only she had not whined to go outside this would never have happened. However, it turns out that the rice has become porridge.
After Larissa's death, Eldrick tried to find out about Larissa's death until it was revealed that the person who killed her was someone who was very influential in this empire. In order to keep Scarlesia from those who want to kill her, Eldrick finally decided to ignore her so that people assume that Scarlesia is a child ignored by his family. This way the assassins would not take their attention to Scarlesia and allow her to stay alive.
“And the mastermind of all this is..”.
“I know who it is, you don't need to tell me who it is,” cut Scarlesia while putting her cup on the table.
“Do you really know Sia?” ask Carlen to make sure.
“Yes, I already know. That's why you two don't have to say it,” Scarlesia replied.
“OK, because you already know I hope you can take care of yourself. If anyone tries to kill you you'd better kill him first,” Eldrick's message to Scarlesia.
“Take it easy, I will protect you Sia,” Carlen said with a warm smile.
“Alright, then now I say retreat,” say goodbye Scarlesia stood up from her seat.
“Sia, how about your injured hand?” ask Eldrick
Scarlesia floated her palm to show them that she was fine with her wound.
“Quietly, this has improved,” he replied. “Oh yes, thank you for explaining everything to me Dad and brother,” he continued thanking me.
Hearing Scarlesia calling them Father and brother made Eldrick and Carlen stunned. Both of their eyes were twinkling as they had not listened to Scarlesia call out to her like that for a long time.
“S-sia just called me Dad,”
“She also calls me sister,”
Truly today was a very happy day for the two of them, they were excited to the point of having a party for Scarlesia but that could not happen now.
Finally Scarlesia's curiosity paid off as well, it was not in vain that she acted until she hurt herself in front of them. It was true as he had expected previously because his father and brother were hiding something from him. But now he had calmed down because he already knew everything.
