The Part 26
The swinging skirt of the dress came to a halt at the last rung of stairs as strands of white glove-clad fingers lurked. The man who was at the end of the stairs smiled gently welcoming, no doubt Eien became fixated there. Her blue irises were gently rolling weakly onto the floor covering up the embarrassment. What is this feeling? The figure of the soul thief seemed to incarnate like a prince. Does the middle of the night play out his illusions? Sprinkling specks of stars that give the impression as if the man is glowing. It seemed, the influence of the mystical flow of this castle was working strongly. Is that just the reason? Looking for another possibility because he was reluctant to admit that his cheeks to heat up and blush like thousands of roses embedded in his dress. Even so, Eien tiadaragu welcomed the hand. His heart wondered, where would he be taken?
All eyes have not been separated from the sun that was led to the city governor, Duke Augustove Barnet and his wife Duchess Alegra Barnet who was still stunned. Ernest needed to cleared his throat a few times to draw awareness where they instantly blushed in embarrassment. "Ah, forgive our behavior," said Alegra quickly while laughing clumsily.
"That's okay, madam. Introduce, Duke, Duchess Barnet, she is my younger sister, Selia Cloudivious. My only family left." Then Ernest continued to mention the names of the two Barnet couples to Eien.
Little sister? Honestly, this is weird for Eien. But there is no time or opportunity to question that. The sense of wonder that had ambushed was still able to cover Eien as neatly as possible for the sake of this charade. His lips curled gently mercilessly, piercing all the way to the soul niche of the Barnet couple. Instantly their chests seemed to be claustrophobic with admiration and envy beyond measure. Wondering whether this beautiful scene is a gift or more to a mockery for the body that is tarnished dirty world? Greetings to the guest of her fake brother looked charming when the dress skirt was flared. "Good night Duke Barnet, Duchess." His sweet thin voice and effective softly removed the malevolence in the two middle-aged people. Fully their hearts had been melted by this female figure with just a melodious greeting.
Duke Barnet's crisp laughter finally broke the silence, restoring all awareness to the guests who continued whispering to each other about them among the reverberating music. "Haha. Holy hooch! Good night, Lady Cloudivious! I thought I was in nirvana considering that the contents of this castle were amazing. Look at this beautiful decoration, like a garden falling from the sky. Then suddenly a very beautiful and dazzling woman appeared. I'm sure you're an angel. I was shocked at once this heart trembled! Is it time for me to die? I almost screamed for help!" excited though.
Eien chuckled with his fingertips covering his lips. "Oh, no. Have I scared you, Duke Barnet?"
"Of course not. I was just about to say, please don't wake me up from this dream!" Compliments within
duke Barnet's joke invites everyone's laughter. Only Ernest and his fake sister smiled.
"Then I am grateful if it is a dream, for I am only a creature full of shortcomings."
Hearing him the hearts of the two were entangled by his personal charm. "Aauwh, you're a very sweet girl" Alegra praised.
"We're glad to see you. It's like some kind of blessing. Thank you for inviting us."
"This meal is so amazing! We'd be sorry if we just heard it from someone else's story."
His expression turned concerned at the thought of their conversation at the queen's residence. "DukeHornest told me a little about your health a few nights ago at the Queen's noble banquet. I wonder if your health has improved?"
Alegra also nodded in confirming. "Yes, we heard it that night. Are you all right? If you still feel unwell, we can recommend the best doctors in town to you" he added.
Their sincere attention created warmth in Eien's heart. "Ah, thank you for your generosity. There was really nothing to worry about, my health had made tremendous progress thanks to my brother's perseverance and persistence." The glittering blue iris penetrated deep behind the Governor's eyeballs, then his gentle smile was relieved. "This country is lucky to have a knight like you, sir. May God bless you and your family."
The Barnet couple were delighted. "Oh, God. I'm really having fun tonight! If my son were old enough, I would very much like Lady Cloudivious to be part of our family!"
Eien chuckled behind his fan. "Ah, very unfortunate."
Ernest just smiled as he glanced at her.
"That's right. Our son is only ten years old. Her three sisters were much older than her," continued Alegra who began to tell her about her children.
In the conversation Ernest only smiled with occasional comments. On the other hand, Eien occasionally glanced at her, asking why did this mysterious man introduce himself as a sister? What exactly is it that this man kidnapped her and took her to this far country?
From a distance Adela who caught the conversation until frowned. Little sister? I am increasingly made to not understand the mind of the master. Why did you introduce the lady - the woman he loved - as a family member? Wouldn't that just make it harder later? Suddenly his nona turned to look at him when Ernest invited him to meet other nobles. As a result Adela gasped as the woman smiled gesturing, recalling her request earlier. Tuhaaaa. I hope what I do is the right thing. His mind gets more agitated when he thinks about it.
