Alice & Alicia: Religious Twin Daughter

Rosemary the Mature

"Thank God Princess Aria is fine, she is just exhausted" said the female physician who examined Aria. He is part of the Saville Trade Union. In the previous case, he also examined Mainne's disease. "His wounds and bruises will heal soon. Please tell him to rest a lot."

"Thank you, Madam. I'll definitely deliver your message," Rosemary replied sincerely. He was very surprised when he saw Aria coming home unconscious and his body was covered in wounds. Jasmine accompanied him to great regret for not being able to protect the silver-haired girl well.

"You guys are good girls. Be patient. The Lord is with those who are patient" the physician said softly. He's probably already three heads. He came in the company of a young daughter. The girl continued to comfort Rosemary during Aria's treatment.

"Sister don't worry. She must be fine," so the little girl said, "My mother is the greatest healer."

"Thank you, Aul. You're a smart kid. Princess Alice will surely gladly accept you at the Pearl Palace one day," praised Rosemary with a faint smile, "Learn your mother's greatest medicine. Your science will surely be useful to many."

"Yes, I certainly can," the girl named Aul exclaimed in spirit. He approached his mother and said confidently, "Mother, I will be a princess like that big brother."

"Pst... Aul, speak politely!" the female physician was worried. He bowed to Rosemary and pleaded, "Mr Princess, please forgive my daughter. He's too young to understand."

"That's no problem. She did have a chance to become a princess at the Pearl Palace in the next few years," Rosemary smiled at the extremely nervous-looking female healer, "The Pearl Palace is the gathering place of talented girls. We don't look at a person's background and status. Teach your daughter medical science well. If God wills, he can enter the Pearl Palace at the choice of the next scholar."

"Thank you, Princess. I will definitely teach her as best I can," the female healer thanked me very much. Although he works at the Saville Trade Union, it does not mean he knows the various advanced technologies that the mysterious family has. Only their real people know it. The woman was just an ordinary local.

Shortly after the female healer left, Aria opened her eyes. He blinked his eyes a few times. His face looked confused. Rosemary was approaching. He asked the most scholarly girl in a raucous voice, "Sister Mary, where is this?"

"Mia!? Are you conscious?" Rosemary was so happy to see him, "We're at the hotel right now. Are you feeling better?"

"What about Brother Jasmine and Grandma Yulia?" Aria asked back. His memory stopped when his rapier came off. He did not remember anything that happened after that. His head is still feeling dizzy now.

"Grandmother Yulia? I don't know who she is, but if Jasmine's sister .. she was with Anna's sister earlier," Rosemary replied, "She's fine. You don't have to worry. Now, rest well first."

"I'm too weak," muttered Aria softly, "Do I deserve to be here?"

"Aria, what do you mean?" ask Rosemary worriedly. He saw Aria who began to shed tears. He seemed to be moving his hand to wipe the tears, but his hand would not move.

"Sister, I'm too weak. Do I deserve to be where I am now?" muttered Aria again. Her tears are getting bigger. He wanted to touch her, but he couldn't. All this time, she was a girl who was always strong and never cried. He did not want to show his weakness to anyone because he was a protector.

"But..," Aria sobbed, "I'm just being a burden there. Grandma Yulia is fine right? He was targeted for protecting me?"

"I.." Rosemary really did not know the person called Grandma Yulia. So, he did not know how he was. If Jasmine had returned safely, it was likely that Grandma Yulia had also returned safely.

"He's fine" Alice replied. He had just arrived to see Aria's condition. His face looked flat hiding anxiety.

"What's going on?" Alice asked Rosemary. The girl from the Vi Cornelia family also recounted her conversation during this time. By hearing that, Alice quite understood the situation.

"Sister Aria, do you think that success just comes?" alice asked with a faint smile on her face. That smile contained affection and relief. He continued, "While you haven't been tested like the people before."

Aria's cry had already stopped the moment Alice entered. He heard Alice's question without answering it. His heart throbbed upon hearing the question. He also chose to digest only the sentences of his daughter's master.

"The heroes did not just appear, Princess Elianna did not become strong just like that, nor did I become the owner of the Pearl Palace just like that" said Alice. The fingers stroked Aria's weakly stretched hand. His eyes are staring at you. "There's a lot of effort and testing that he has to go through. Sis, the test will come to anyone. The Lord will not test except according to the capacity of His servant. Don't surrender. Not that you're saying, we're not alone."

"That's right. You have us. We're going to be strong together" Rosemary added.

Aria remained silent. His eyes looked at the ceiling of the room which was white chalk. The dizziness in his head was still felt, but he was quite absorbing Alice and Rosemary's intent. He slowly closed his eyes. His consciousness again disappeared leaving his body so tired.

"This can't happen again" Alice murmured. Now, her tears are dripping. His weakness made his friends suffer. "I should be able to protect you, but I'm still troubling you."

"No, Alice," Rosemary grabbed the tiny hand of Crown Princess el Vierum, "It's not what you imagined. You cannot bear the burden yourself. We did not suffer because of you. It's an honor to fight with you"

Alice reflexes hugging Rosemary. Her childish side just appeared. Well, he's ten years old. It doesn't matter to her to cry like that. The cry came from a soft heart. A heart that is very sensitive to circumstances.

Rosemary rubbed Alice's long hair gently. There is warmth in her arms. The warmth brings Alice back to the past. He also dreamed, if he had an older sister, could it feel like this?

Eyes closed. Slowly he calmed down. In Rosemary's arms, she fell asleep in peace.
