Princess Altrelia
20: Alstrelia

The cold night breeze was greeted with warmth from someone she deeply missed.

The full night that illuminates the existence of two people who are considered as brothers was also successful in dropping all the thoughts of some people who accidentally saw the two of them were in a hug each other.

“Young master and young lady. Did the two of them finally get along?” asked this woman, a servant who accidentally saw the moment of togetherness.

“Why do you say as if master and miss do not get along?” ask friend.

“Not that they both usually also look like mice and cats?”

“Eh? You say master is the cat and miss is the mouse?”

As these two servants whispered to each other about their two masters, they were both instantly given a sharp jinx by Elbert who was still standing watching from his master's study.

“HI!” instantly feeling Elbert's extremely piercing gaze towards the two of them, despite being at a distance of over 50 meters, but the romans from my fur sat they both managed to stand up from goosebumps.

“Come we go.” Invite his co-workers to get out of there, and let the two brothers who are still hugging enjoy their time together.

Alstrelia, who was already aware of the existence of the two people who had just caught her being hugged by Alrescha, immediately pushed Alrescha's shoulder away.

“Your time is up.” said Altrelia in her flat tone.

Altrelia actually wanted to push this man from the start for daring to hug him without the slightest permission. 

But for a reason that again concerns the other Alstrelia, this time he who succumbed to the pain that arises due to his sister Alrescha was slightly treated by receiving a hug earlier.

“ Alrescha momentarily looked at the face of the woman in front of him.

But Altrelia instantly ignored his gaze with a reply instantly passed away.

TAPS…....TAP…...TAP……

‘What did I just do?’ At once Alrescha was aware of his actions that he had never done in his lifetime, and this was the first time to hug another woman but had the same face as his real sister's face.

Even so, after hugging her like before, her heart already felt better.

For Alrescha, the presence of the foreign woman was quite helpful. Although it should be dear at this time, significantly many people have begun to realize the changes of Altrelia.

Actually it will have an impact when his original sister has been found. 

“Alstrelia.” call Alrescha with a very smooth murmur. He saw the departure of the woman who was similar to his sister.

Alrescha who only watched him from his steps, already knew that the woman who was walking left him was someone who seemed to have more authority than just a noble.

‘He walks like a leader. This Altrelia, who exactly are you?’ Alrescha.

He actually felt a sense of curiosity that he wanted to get rid of by making the woman tell the truth. 

Alrescha wanted to know all the sides that the woman had.

But if Alrescha did it by force, Alrescha felt it would be the beginning of even worse circumstances. 

‘I have to endure it.’ Inner Alrescha. 

He did not want to take any rash steps to investigate Altrelia's true identity.

________________

Altrelia, she continued walking alone down the corridor of the original Alstrelia mansion.

He realized that he was just a hitchhiker. But here his existence is still considered to be the master of everyone who works under the auspices of the Duke Fisher family.

“.............................” Alstrelia stopped walking, then turned to the right. Where he saw a full moon that was so big and had a pretty blue color. ‘Through her cold looks, she turns out to be relying on her feelings as well.’ 

Despite getting a hug from her, but in her own heart, Altrelia still did not have any special feelings. 

He only felt sympathy for one human who had a fairly unfortunate fate, regardless of his degree who had the status of an aristocrat duke nobility, named Duke Fisher.

‘Man is still human. Whatever path is chosen, everything still starts from one desire that comes from his own feelings.’ thought Altrelia

Alstrelia then walked back to the room that had now become her room. 

‘Although I do not know what exactly happened in detail, but my current existence is to be a substitute figure for the woman.’ for Alstrelia, his position was nothing but to step on the place of Alrescha's sister for one step.

Because the next step, will be based on the road Alstrelia Ve Der Vrancisteen again.

Whatever the story takes place in the world that Altrelia believes is a novel, this Altrelia will still play the role of the real Altrelia. 

He was only a replacement for his sister Alrescha, not replace the figure of Altrelia.

TAPS….TAPS…..TAPS…….

Alstrelia also recalled the moment together with Elbert on the edge of the Lake.

Flashback.

“Listen to me Elbert. After this you will not remember anything I told you, be it earlier or now. Then don't scold Lena for her mistake. You and your master Alrescha will know the truth based on what Lena will tell you.” Astrelia explained.

He still held onto Elbert's face and looked at her with a serious look. 

And all the words that Alstrelia said just now also made Elbert completely silent like a daze.

“Do you understand?” ask Altrelia. He wanted to see if his ability worked for this Elbert?

“.................” 

Seeing Elbert immediately close his eyes and re-enjoy the touch from the hand of Altrelia, then Alstrelia considered that what Alstrelia was doing to Elbert had succeeded.

Akstrelia smiled gently at the man who looked thirsty for this affection. 

Although Elbert was an aide and deputy commander of Fisher, but whose name was human, there were times when they hid their true heart to others. 

One of them is Elbert.

This man wanted praise and affection like family, but he could not get it because Elbert already had no one, then Alrescha himself was a cold person, he said, and the real Alstrelia is the one who is not interested in anyone else. 

‘She's like a child only.’ thought Altrelia. “Then forget the fight earlier.” said Alstrelia again, then rubbed Elbert's hair for a moment before finally Altrelia again sat on the tree trunk while looking at the lake with calm clear water.

Flashback.

“ Alstrelia finally arrived inside the room that was not hers.

CLOAKS.

“Lena.” says Altrelia. ‘I did the same thing to Lena.’

Slowly, Alstrelia took off one by one, until after all her clothes were taken off, she walked towards the bathroom. 

There is a bathtub filled with warm water that has been prepared by Lena some time ago.

With her bare body revealing all sides of her body that had white skin and postures chest, waist, hips perfect legs of all aspects, he walked into the bath and dipped one by one foot and ended up soaking.

Altrelia closed her eyes, and placed her head back to lean to the side of the tub. 

‘Alstrelia, she has the same name as me. Is this just some kind of coincidence? I became your replacement. Show me, who ever bullied you? Who insulted you from behind? Because our names are the same, then everything that is on you is the same as being on me.’ thought Altrelia, and ended her whole body into the water.

BLUP………...

_____________

In Lena's room, the still-sleeping Lena sat leaning against the wall looking at the full moon.

In his heart he was still worried about the real Miss Altrelia. But here Lena realized, if she could not do anything to help find the whereabouts of the missing lady.

“Nona Altrelia, I hope you are fine.” said Lena hope to god to grant her wish for her to be alive. “Please quickly return miss. Because the young master still feels a sense of loss even though there is someone who has a face similar to yours. Miss, just so you know that young master never once hated you, just the opposite miss. Master loves you so much more than his own fiancee.” Lena said again.

Lena continued to pray expectantly to God to grant her request.

KWAKK……….

A bird flies through the night sky. 

The big bird with brown feathers was carrying someone on its back. A woman who has long brown hair and yellow eyes.

“He has a thin life force.” This woman muttered while continuing to look seriously forward, and one of her hands was still trying to keep the one woman she was guarding from being unconscious.

That night became the night for each of them to go about their own business.

No one knows what will happen tomorrow.

Therefore, as this woman went to explore the vastness of the sky along with her beloved bird, while she also brought someone she accidentally found somewhere, too, so the people who have a home remain down there, resting their bodies to live out their drama for tomorrow.

KWAKK….

Lena looked back at the sky that night. 

“ Lena was indeed listening to the loud voice of a bird. But he didn't realize anything, that the bird was actually carrying two people on its back.
