The Second Life Of The Mercenary
Chapter 36 The twins are again

Isabella sat on Martini's bedside and clasped Martini's hand tightly and kissed him many times.

"Are you afraid of death?" ask Isabella. Martini smiled as he shook his head.

"Why? death is painful. It's completely dark and it doesn't even make any difference when we open or close our eyes, and we're going to be alone in a place that's cold to me, it's scary" Isabella said, he tried hard to hold back his tears so as not to drip.

"I have been on the verge of death several times, fearing that it would be of no use. B-but somehow from your words, I feel like you've felt that death."

"Maybe I've felt it before if I was alive today. But Madam ... if you feel lonely in nature there come back because it is always crowded here, or if the food there is not good you also have to go back because Mr. March's cooking is much better, and if you don't like the bed there then come back here the bed is soft. Anyway come back whenever you want to hiks …." Isabella looked down to hide her tears.

While Martini's condition was getting worse, his breathing began to blow one by one even his hands that were in Isabella's grasp began to feel cold.

"Mrs, thank you for being nice to me all these years. Meeting you makes me feel like meeting my own family, you may be less friendly when you first meet even until now you are very scary if angry. But that attitude does not cover your friendly attitude, please remember my words earlier. You should go back if there is no fun otherwise, I will match Yuna with a very ugly man and …." Isabella could not continue her words.

Luca puts his hand on Isabella's shoulder as a signal that Martini has breathed his last. But he remained true to his place, lest Isabella not even move at all.

"In the end it was all in vain. What's the point of me knowing the plot of this novel if I can't save it, I'm useless. I hate the strange feeling I'm feeling right now, and I really hate parting," Isabella's mind bit her lip so that her sobs don't come out.

The barian tribesmen were repulsed again this time. When it was dark Martini's medical tent began to crowded the arrival of knights who wanted to say goodbye, Isabella came out of the tent and went deep into the forest.

Everyone is busy handling the rampaging March, and preparing for Martini's funeral. No one knew Isabella was not with them.

"What holy holy messenger? sucks. I'm not even useful when I know all the plot," Isabella's inner self doesn't stop blaming herself.

Isabella did not know how long she had walked and how far she had gone, and now she was on the shore of the lake, reflecting the moonlight. There he sat staring up at the beautiful sky, constantly questioning what his current existence was.

"Maybe it's just a dream. When I wake up tomorrow, Martini must have prepared breakfast as usual. Well that must be true, I just need to go to bed tonight and wake up tomorrow morning then everything will be back to normal" Isabella murmured. He closed his eyes and still did not want to accept such a harsh reality.

Isabella's sleep was interrupted when a large hand gently stroked her hair, and when she opened her eyes it was March.

"You awake? did this old man wake you up?" ask March. He smiled at Isabella.

Isabella wakes up and sits next to March and asks, "Why are you here? you left the madam alone?"

"My presence here is the same as yours. Do I look like someone who can leave someone? after all, the funeral is over, he's gone and he's not coming back, so he's the one who left me, not the other way around."

"The lady is not afraid of death. Though I have asked him to come back if there is no fun, but look! he didn't come back, was it so much fun? is there a better food there? is there a new friend? or is there a nice bed?"

"It's possible that he won't feel the same pain a second time, pity also if he has to feel the pain in order to come back, being stabbed by that spear is very painful so we can't be selfish by asking him to come back. That's enough pain she felt."

"When I hope it's just a dream, when only this morning he promised to make me a special breakfast tomorrow," said Isabella clutching her clothes.

Seeing that March instantly pulled Isabella into his arms, no sobs could be heard from the two there were only tears continuously dripping down. No one understands Isabella's wounds other than March and vice versa.

Today, just like his usual days for Vanessa, he became a servant for the twins not because of his wishes. But because of their ability that is easily fooled by them.

"Oh, my head hurts so much" muttered Vanessa massaging her head as she walked towards the room. He accidentally saw a tailor enter the living room.

"The tailor's coming? why didn't anyone tell me?" inner Vanessa.

He rushed into the room entered by the tailor, and there was gathered the girls of the house.

"What'sthis? why is there a tailor and didn't tell me?" ask Isabella.

"Huh? so greedy of you, already have a lot of fancy dresses that should belong to the real princess now want to add more dresses. Don't you have shame veins?" cynical Charlotte.

"That's not what I mean. But this business has indeed become my responsibility, the affairs of the residence have been handed over to mother except this business, so everything I have to know in order for me to report to father," said Vanessa.

"Mother? who's your mother? you should call our mother the duchess, how many times have we reminded her she's not your mother. You don't deserve to be our mother's son or our sister" Carolina said.

"It's up to you. But I have to keep an eye on you guys, maximum order that dress is only 10 dresses every week. Don't be more because I don't like you …."

"Message as much as you want, your father doesn't mind it," cut Elena who suddenly entered. He stopped by after hearing his daughter's argument.

"But mother …." Vanessa wants to tell Elena the rules that Cedric has set since Penelope was alive.

Elena raised Vanessa's face with her fan, her gaze so sharp that she felt like she wanted to stab Vanessa with that look.

"Basic of lowly men. Just because you were adopted as a child don't think you can call me mother, one more thing my words are an absolute command in this residence. You go out, and don't you dare complain that I didn't. I killed your beloved sister, '" Elena threatened to show her true nature.

"Wait for mom." Charlotte touched Vanessa's shoulder, "Because she's in then don't let her out easily, at least we have to teach him a lesson so that later he will not be careless to enter our room or reprimand us again."

"Just do as you please" Elena said. He switched to sitting next to Carolina who was cool to see the latest models of dresses.

Meanwhile Charlotte tortures Vanessa, the servants seem to go blind. They don't care about Vanessa, even the tailor who has been in a long relationship with Vanessa looks indifferent as Vanessa suffers.

They will only approach people who have great influence, the existence of Vanessa was very influential in the House of Abraham. But now it's not the same anymore, now it has become someone else's toy so for them there is no benefit in being close or having a relationship with Vanessa again. They are intelligent people who know who they should side with, and where their feet should stand.
