Curious? Want to hear it soon?
Then I'll just go straight. Let's go back to five years ago.
5 years ago....
The straight blonde little girl was humming along while combing her hair by looking at her reflection in the mirror.
At that time, he was preparing to meet and introduce the two friends he loved very much.
With a step that accompanied a small jump he stepped on the slippery and smooth floor of his residence.
When the clear green netra saw the whereabouts of his parents who were sitting together with a cup of tea neatly printed in front of them, the two parents talked to each other while removing small rascals that were thrown from their lips.
Her smile was clearly imprinted on the girl's innocent pretty face, then politely bowed her body with the end of her dress skirt drawn up to inflate.
"Good morning, Dad! Good morning, Mother!" she was as cheerful as her usual days.
"Ah, my dear Ana! Come here come here, sit with us!" take the mother of the girl.
The father and mother of the girl were a pair of Counts and Countesses.
Count Emerald and Countess Emerald.
The girl also began to move the soles of her feet that had been attached to heels commonly worn by noble teenage girls in general, then approached and sat next to her parents.
"Do you want breakfast? Eat first," the girl's father bargained for a cake that had been perfectly baked.
From the looks alone, it can be seen that the cake tasted very delicious.
"No need Dad, I ate earlier. If I eat too much, then my body will not be lean anymore," joked the girl successfully made the atmosphere warm because laughter filled it.
"You'll do it. Father's son is the prettiest."
The girl only displayed her sweet smile while being satisfied.
"Oh, baby, where are you going to dress up like this?" The girl's mother asked.
"Today I'm going to meet Arlen and Cassandra, and I'm going to introduce them both!" he screamed with sparkling eyes.
What a very innocent girl.
"Cassandra's? You mean the daughter of Viscount Devoline?"
"Yes, Mother."
"When did you know him? Don't you want to be friends with anyone but Arlen?" kelakar very mother made the girl sing her pink lips.
"Who said! I'd like to be friends with anyone but Arlen. It's just that I haven't met a good friend besides him. And now that I've met Cassandra, she's a good friend!" the girl was accompanied by compliments she gave to her new friend.
"really? But how do you know each other? Isn't Cassandra three years older than you?"
"I met Cassandra when I was in the middle...." The girl hung up her words due to the embarrassment that suddenly assaulted her to continue her sentence.
"What middle?" asked the father curious about the sentence hung by the princess only wayangnya.
The girl plays both her nails in doubt. "Just like it's a woman's business, Dad! The point was that Cassandra helped me when I was in trouble. And since then, I've been friends with Cassandra because she's a very kind and gentle woman!"
The mother also only chuckled a little when the daughter was embarrassed to say something that became a habit of women every month.
"Looks like he's very nice, next time try to bring him here, Mom and Dad want to get to know him" he asked.
"Of course, Mother! Next time I'll introduce him to you!" said the girl was excited. "Oh yeah, I'll be late! Then I go first, Mom, Dad!"
After that, in a hurry, the girl ran by pulling her skirt so as not to get dirty from sweeping the floor.
With happiness and excitement filling her heart, the girl was impatient to meet the two figures who became her best friend.
However, no one knows when the excitement will last.
And no one knows when the sincerity of his heart will last.
...🥀...
A mansion that was slightly smaller than the mansion he lived in, was right in front of the girl.
With a slow step, he knocked on the mansion's main door politely.
After waiting for a while, a servant appeared who opened the door.
"Sorry, who do you want to meet?" ask the waiter politely and try gently.
"Ah, I'm Anastasia Emerald. I want to meet Cassandra, is she inside?" The girl asked politely and she hoped that the person she was looking for was inside.
The waiter looked doubtful and confused, which made the blond girl slightly confused.
"Uhm...."
"Can't you keep your attitude?!"
There was the sound of screaming from inside the residence. The girl was even more confused.
Plaque!
The sound of a very loud slap, made the girl a little surprised and astonished. What the hell is going on in there?
If at that time the girl worried about the figure she was looking for. Now, surely the girl had the pleasure of seeing the figure she was looking for was suffering.
"If I find that you can't keep quiet and accept this marriage well and obediently, then don't expect you to be part of the Devoline family again!!"
The waiter in front of the girl also seemed to wrinkle her eyebrows while with her eyelids that she tightly closed.
"Hey, what's going on inside? Why do I hear a slap?" asked the girl could not help the curiosity that had arisen in her heart.
"N-miss. l-better you go home first. Miss Cassandra is not feeling well today." replied the waiter stammered.
Of course the girl knew that the maid was lying to her right now. But in order to maintain courtesy, he would not force the servant to tell him the truth.
"Well, if Cassandra's cured, please notify ak-"
"N-miss...!" the waiter shrieked with a look of worry that adorned his face.
The girl with the wavy brown outline moved the netra that was in tune with the color of her mane to another figure who was between them.
"Miss Anastasia? What's coming here?" ask her with a sweet smile that is reviewed from both raised corners.
The blond girl furrowed her eyebrows while with her two eyelids slightly raised so that her eyes were fleshy.
The girl saw a purplish-red mark on the left cheek of the figure in her car.
He wanted to ask and express his concerns, but the formalities prevented him from doing all that.
"Anu. I'd like to invite you to meet my best friend, would you like to come with me?" The blond girl became doubtful and uneasy.
But he will also feel sad if his friend this one refused his invitation.
"Well, I'll come with you, Miss Anastasia."
Those words instantly made the blond unraveling girl feel a sense of pleasure creeping in her heart.
"Thank Cassandra. Oh right, since you've been considered my best friend, you can call me Anastasia or Ana!" exclaiming the girl made her interlocutor chuckle a little.
"Alright, Anastasia. In that case, you also do not hesitate to call my first name," replied the brown-blossomed girl.
"Reina's. I'll go with Anastasia, can you pass it on to my father?" her door.
The servant nodded and lowered his head. "Alright, Miss. I'll pass it on to you."
"Cassandra Come. Come with me to ride my horse-drawn carriage!" said the blonde girl while tugging at her best friend's wrists impatiently.
"Uhm... don't I need to change clothes first, Anastasia?"
The blonde girl refused. "Oh, you don't have to change clothes anymore. You're even very pretty now," she praised making her interlocutor chuckle again.
They both look very happy and familiar, but who would have thought that they would become sworn enemies in the future.
...🥀...
"Arlen! Arlen!" the girl shouted the name of her best friend who never looked at her.
After a while, now his best friend who has the same shiny straight blonde hair with him finally turned his head.
Raut calm and cold as usual, always decorate the face of his handsome who is able to make the women crazy about him.
The girl approached the man while faithfully pulling on his new best friend's wrist to follow him.
Shortly after, the blonde girl frowned in confusion because of the two friends she was going to introduce, both of whom put on looks of surprise and disbelief.
"You?!"
Screaming at the man while pointing at his new best friend, rarely did the man put on such a surprised look.
"What's up, Arlen? You know Cassandra?" asked the blond girl who could not stem her curiosity.
"Ah.. that, me and Mr. Arlen had met several times, but we always did not have time to get acquainted," said the girl's friend.
"So, because you haven't been properly acquainted. I'll introduce you officially!" the girl shouted while pulling the wrists of her two best friends and making them shake hands.
"Arlen, this is Cassandra. Cassandra, this is Arlen. The most annoying man in the world."
"What do you mean, bitch? Rather than you, not body, not mind, everything is short," the insinuated man sharply made the girl immediately shake his head.
"Feel that! Dare to mock me! Hmphh!" his headset while puffing both of his cheeks.
A ruckus managed to get out of the lips of the girl who had the dark brown mane that was there.
The two childhood friends turned to him.
"Why are you laughing, Cassandra?"
"It's okay. It's just, you two are so funny, you're like twins who just fight each other," the girl chuckled while trying to cover her mouth with the index finger that she had a circle and she placed it in front of her lips.
"And do you know what, Cassandra? This shitty guy is gonna be my fiance, aren't I so unlucky?" the taunting of the girl blondly unraveled with ruckus while embracing the man beside her.
"I'm the unlucky one, having a fiancee like you, instead" the man said he would not lose.
While the girl just pretended not to hear the words of the man by shrugging his shoulders.
The brown girl covered her mouth which formed a circle. "Oh really? Then may your engagement run smoothly, and you will love each other" he said with a smile.
"of course! Even if this guy sucks, I'll still love him!" said the girl was excited.
Strangely enough, the man next to her was not happy at all.
The cold and flat face still faithfully accompanied him.
"Oh yes! Tonight my parents will eat with Arlen's parents! And they invited you, did you want to, Cassandra?"
"If that's your wish, then I'll gladly fulfill it."
And the two girls now throw each other a sincere smile that comes from their hearts.
...🥀...
"It turns out you have a very beautiful daughter, Viscount Devoline," Countess Emerald praised Viscount Devoline.
"Thank you, Countess. Cassandra is nothing compared to Anastasia who is very beautiful and looks very graceful at her age which is still quite young."
The brown girl who was the conversation of the two nobles could only display her bitter fake smile.
Even at a time like this, his father did not appreciate it at all.
"Alright, let's just talk about the main purpose of inviting you all here" Count Emerald said, making everyone there turn their eyes towards him.
"Me and the Floniouse family have agreed on this for a long time. We will announce that our daughter, Anastasia, will be the fiancee of the Duke Floniouse's son, Arlen," she explained, making the blond girl in the room nervous because of her father's words.
The atmosphere became silent for a while, but before long, a low-heavy voice filled the silence.
"I refuse" said the blond man, leaving all the humans in the room flabbergasted.
"What do you mean, Arlen?!" shouted Duke Floniouse, the father of the man.
Even the blond unraveling girl seemed to want to take out her eyeballs and something as if it was strangling her throat.
"I refuse. Because I already have someone I like, and the person I like is him" point the man at and look all over his index finger.
"Cassandra la Devoline."
As if struck by an immeasurably large stone, the blond unraveling girl in the room felt her heart crumble and crumble.
Tears of pain he could not bear to flow out of his eye patch.
Why all of a sudden?
After all these years of knowing each other, why did the man say that?
Actually, what does all this mean?
