Surviving As The Villainess
Chapter 27 - Explor

The next day, Yvette is escorted home by Noel. Yvette can't linger at Liyuna's house because her parents want to take her abroad to spend the summer break this year. Of course, Liyuna did not force Yvette to stay any longer, instead she asked Noel to escort Yvette safely to her home.

Liyuna activities in the morning are the same as usual; exercise, breakfast, then shower. After that he usually spent time in the library or in his room. Ever since he entered the Red String world, Liyuna had never gone outside alone. He always locked himself in his room because he felt alien to everything around him. Liyuna needs time to be able to adapt to all the differences and all the new things for her.

But today, Liyuna wanted to make a little change. She wanted to know more about Castris and what was inside the family residence. From the balcony of Liyuna's room, we can see the garden filled with sunflowers from there. Growing sunflowers look very beautiful because they are combined with green grass that is well cared for by gardeners. Liyuna had long wanted to try to go there, but she did not have the courage because the garden behind the Castris residence was very spacious. In fact, we can see a greenhouse with a size quite fantastic there and not far from the garden, there is a mini forest where a lot of trees grow and cover the remaining back land.

Liyuna put her two feet in the garden behind the house. This was the first time he had set foot in the park since he had entered the world of Red String. Sunflowers that are larger and taller than Liyuna make them look so small. He could not see right and left because of the sunflowers. However, Liyuna still set her foot towards the greenhouse which was clearly visible from her room balloon. Liyuna was curious about what the greenhouse was because in her previous life she had never seen a greenhouse as beautiful and as big as Castris's.

Liyuna stopped her steps in front of a greenhouse that looked luxurious like a manor-owned greenhouse in the comics. His two little hands opened the greenhouse and his eyes were immediately treated to a very beautiful view. There is a fence made of iron and also a ladder to go down. Inside there is also a small pond that makes the greenhouse more beautiful. On the right and left, we can see a variety of plants that Liyuna itself does not know its name. In the middle of the greenhouse there are chairs and tables that are not too large in white. Liyuna sat on the chair and looked at the roof of the greenhouse. Sunlight enters easily because the greenhouse is transparent and not covered by anything.

Liyuna did not linger in the greenhouse because she was bored and the sun was getting hotter due to the greenhouse so she decided to go back for a walk until she finally arrived in front of the mini forest. Liyuna felt hesitant to enter the forest or not because she was afraid that in the forest there were ferocious beasts that were actually impossible to exist.

In the end, Liyuna entered the forest. Deep in the forest, Liyuna saw a house that was quite large but not as big as Castris's. The house looks to have more than two floors and looks very quiet.

"Why is there a house in the woods?" Mumbled Liyuna who was astonished. He did not expect behind Castris' house there was another house that was somehow used for what.

Liyuna walked over to the house. But suddenly there was someone holding his shoulder and it made him scream in surprise.

"ah! Sorry to surprise you." Say that guy.

Liyuna turned her head towards the source of the voice and saw a teenager who was about 14 years old. She looked much older than Liyuna and her hair was grayish-black with brown eyeballs. Her hair reminded Liyuna of Noel.

"Who are you?" Asked Liyuna who felt strange about the appearance of the teenager. As far as Liyuna knew, Castris did not hire minors like her and why she could be in this place.

The teenager looked at Liyuna strangely, "I'm Liam."

Liyuna looked at Liam for a moment before asking, "What house is this?" He pointed at the big house in front of him.

Liam seemed a little surprised by Liyuna's question because it was clear that the house in front of them was a house for servants who worked for the Castris family.

"What house?" Repeated Liam.

Liyuna was still staring at Liam closely and waiting for a reply to come out of her mouth.

"Of course it's a house for servants. You came here because your family works for the Castris family, right?"

Hearing Liam's reply, Liyuna became a little shocked. He did not know that the servants also lived in the Castris residence area. It was only fitting that they always came very early and went home late at night, so this was the reason.

"Your family works for Castris?" Ask Liyuna.

Liyuna nodded softly at Liam's words. Liam invites Liyuna to enter the house of the servants who are said to be called "House of the Sun" because it is located behind the sunflower garden.

"You yourself? Who works for Castris in your family?"

"Eh?!"

Liyuna did not know what to answer. She wanted to say that she was a Castris but felt bad that Liam had been so friendly to her. Liyuna is afraid that Liam will change if she finds out she is a Castris.

"Umm. that..."

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." Said Liam who realized that Liyuna was reluctant to tell him. Liam is not a pushy person and he values privacy so much that he doesn't want to bother with small things like this.

Liyuna heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Liam's words.

"Someday I'll work here too." Liam said suddenly, he dropped his body on the living room sofa like his own home.

"Eh? Why?" Asked Liyuna who was confused.

If her sister works here, why would she want to work here too? Wouldn't it be better to choose a different path? What is the salary of the Castris family so much that everyone wants to work here? Liyuna really did not understand.

"Because the Castris family has helped us a lot. I just want to thank and dedicate myself to this family, just like my brother did."

'thank you?'

Liyuna was confused again. She doesn't know what Castris is doing until she can get some gratitude from Liam. Even if she was willing to devote herself to her family, Liyuna felt a little uneasy.

"Why do you want to thank Castris?"

Liam looked at Liyuna before replying, "I am from an Astraea parlour run by the Castris family. We orphanages always got no small help of course I want to thank you."

This was the first time Liyuna had heard of the Astraea parlour. She doesn't know that Castris runs an orphanage. This made Liyuna's heart slightly warm as it reminded her of her previous life when she was still living in an orphanage.

"Well, Miss Liyuna?!"
