Curtis POV
I frowned confused by their strange behavior, but right now I was not in the mood to care about trivial things so I decided not to care about it .
I'll turn my eyes the other way when Cleo's voice was ringing again .
' Oh yes !! handsome brother don't forget to bring my violin box too later '
I closed my eyes again and sighed loudly, ' so upsetting 'my mind . I thought I wanted to try to disobey him at this time, but somehow without me realizing my body had turned around and my mouth had called Mr. Lin here .
" Mister Lin !! " I cried loudly
Mr. Lin and Elis who had hesitated and were afraid jumped in shock with the loud voice of his Young Master who called, Mr. Lin gulped hard 'God ' thought . He really regretted following his curiosity so he came here earlier .
Mr. Lin also advanced slowly carefully, his head he bowed as deeply as possible . The look on his Young Master's face was terrifying at the moment, he furrowed his brows furiously, his eyes were sharp, he clenched his jaws violently, and his tone was intimidating, strangling anyone to fear . Mr. Lin's heart was pounding loudly waiting for the anger that would be launched by his Young Master, while Elis he was still hiding in the corner of the villa still . Sometimes his head peered out from the walls of the building watching this situation anxiously and worriedly .
I did not think at all what expression was on my face at this time, I tried my best to control my frustration so as not to affect others . But I was a little confused why is everyone looking at me with a frightened look ??!!
" Bring it here, Cleo's violin box "the order is flat
Mr. Lin looked up slightly with shock in his heart, he thought he would be angered by me for his excessive curiosity . But he did not expect to only get a simple command like this, without a single word of anger .
I who saw Mr. Lin still stared motionless after I said to be very displeased, I scrunched my forehead looking at his surprised expression as if in disbelief . ' Does he want me to scold him too ?? ' my inner
" Quick "my repeat with a cooler tone
Mr. Lin realized then saluted and ran back into the villa to pick up the goods . Not forgetting that while passing through the neighborhood, he grabbed Elis who was still peering anxiously behind the wall .
" Mister .. his horse "squeer of the little boy earlier
I turned my head and found the boy now looking down while holding the horse restraint rope and standing behind me, seen the equipment for riding was neatly installed on the horse's back . I walked over to this old horse, ' quite 'my mind while paying attention to the worthiness of the old horse that is usually idle in the villa .
" Hemb "murm satisfied
The servant boy understood what I meant and gave the restraint rope he was holding to me, I grasped the rope and jumped lightly on the horse . The horse was surprised and neighed softly but still stood tall obediently, ' I must hurry, before the naughty girl got lost ' I thought .
So I tracked the horse to a speeding pace leaving the young servant boy without a word . The boy heaved a sigh of relief at my departure, he sat back down on the haystack next to the bamboo pole while looking at the gold coins he had obtained earlier .
I drove my horse out of the villa, when I reached the front door of the villa I passed by Mr. Lin who ran out carrying the violin box I asked for earlier . Mr. Lin ran in a hurry when he heard the sound of horse footprints coming . And when he got to the front door just as I was passing by, I stopped waiting for Mr. Lin who was walking quickly here to hand over the box .
After receiving it without a word I quickly drove back the horse out of the villa, passed the gate and ran down the hill past the orchard on its side .
This old horse is not as bad as I thought, it can still run fast and agile on the rocky path of the plantation . I passed through the orchard tightly and some of the workers who heard the loud clattering of horse legs turned to greet me as I passed by . I drove my horse fast until I reached the foot of the hill in a very short time .
' where would my little girl go ?? ' thought
I thought as I drove my horse slowly out of the plantation area . I was still deep in thought when I heard a familiar voice entering my hearing .
" Handsome brother !! " rushing
I turned to the direction the voice came from and saw my little girl was in a very unpleasant position in the view ....
Cleo POVs
I teased Curtis and ran away as fast as I could to avoid his rampage, I drove the horse through the plantation and down the hill . The workers who were beside the path looked at me with funny expressions, they were shocked, astonished, and amazed simultaneously seeing a noble girl riding like a man .
I smiled and waved at them as I passed by, You fool Cleo, you don't know the direction !! act recklessly until you run away first but the edges still have to wait for Curtis to come . Isn't this the same as handing over your head willingly ' my reflection in heart while slowing down the pace of my horse .
I turned to the right and to the left looked around the orchard, not feeling it had reached the bottom of the hill . I stopped my horse and turned back .
" Why so long ?? " murmurm
' Did Curtis get angry and decide not to follow me, can't it be that handsome big brother sulks that easily ??!! ' thought
I decided to wait here so I jumped down from the horse and tied it to one of the low apple tree branches . I walked around the apple trees that were in the fruiting season, I chose one that branched heavily and was easy to climb . I smiled slantingly and took off my shoes, leaving behind a thin, unobtrusive silk sock and then I started climbing onto the leafy apple tree .
I chose one of the thick, sturdy-looking branches, then I placed myself comfortably on it . ' Huh ... thankfully I wore a light dress today ' I thought glad . I made my most comfortable position for me without caring about the surroundings, because I noticed it was very quiet . So I leaned against the trunk of the tree and raised one of my feet to the branch while the other I let hang leisurely down . I grabbed a ripe apple over me and began to gnaw it, my dress slightly exposed to the knees due to my sloppy sitting position .
Blowing breeze brings cool and fresh air typical of the highlands, I smiled happily and started humming merrily while occasionally gnawing at the apples on the trees .
" Alright, I'll wait for my handsome brother quietly here "my little mumble
Moments later there was the sound of the horse's foot descending the hill, I glanced at it and moaned in my heart' finally coming too .... ' .
Curtis rode the horse fiercely down the hill, ' it seemed like the old horse was quite strong as well 'my inner . Curtis would occasionally look around to look for me, I smiled small and cried out loud .
" Handsome brother !! " I cried loudly
Curtis stopped and turned to look at me, he immediately knitted his eyebrows dislike . I chuckled looking at her who was looking at me with annoyance, I giggled happily .
" Happy brother why is it so long ?? " i said spoiled with a pouting mouth
" Down !! " he said cold
I took a casual bite of my apple and glanced down then looked at Curtis and pretended to be scared .
" Can't, very high" I said
Curtis remained unreactive, he did not respond to my joke this time .
" Down !! " he said again briefly
I gave up teasing her and started to finish the last bite of my apple and threw it recklessly behind her .
" I'm not polite" he murmured softly
Curtis who saw him getting annoyed even pretended to sulk this time, I clenched my lips tightly with a frown while throwing my face the other way .
Curtis sighed tiredly looking at me who was beginning to sulk at him, he jumped down from his horse and walked down the tree I was sitting in . Curtis stood up straight and pitched a flat look at me then said softly, his tone as if persuading an upset me .
" Come down, it will fall "he said briefly
I turned my head down and faced her and smiled sweetly, I spread my hands towards her . Curtis was confused, he frowned in wonder .
" Capture me "I said while jumping down suddenly from above
Curtis was so surprised, his eyes widened to see me who suddenly jumped up without telling him earlier . Curtis jumped lightly forward and caught me with both hands, I held him tightly in his arms as if afraid I would get hurt . I hugged his neck tightly and smelled the distinctive scent of Curtis' body, which was cold and soothing not to be mixed with perfume .
After our feet hit the ground, I let go of my grip on his neck and snapped out of Curtis' embrace, he loosened his hands but still held his waist a little so that I wouldn't limp . After making sure I stood up straight, he let go of his hand . Curtis looked at me coldly, but in the look of his sharp eyes there were many complaints and dissatisfaction towards me .
I smiled calmly, waiting for him to put out the words of grievance that were stuck in his mouth now .
" Why ?? " the question is short
I put on my confused expression, whereas I knew very well the meaning of the question .
" What ??!! " let me go back with a plain expression
Curtis furrowed his brows impatiently, looking at me who was circling as if he did not understand .
" You know it's dangerous . "his wrath is stifled
I threw my sweet smile and said quietly, "aren't you here ... "
" ..??? " this time it was Curtis's turn to furrow his brows not understanding what I meant .
" i believe you .. "I said while looking at him sincerely.
Curtis was dumbfounded, he was speechless
" His handsome brother, I'm sure you won't let me get hurt so I jumped up without hesitation" I continued
Curtis's eyes churned with emotion he could not hide, though his expression was still flat but the earlobe was now red . I smiled inwardly at this innocent man before me, I looked at him and was sure my sincerity was conveyed directly to him .
I grabbed and pulled his hand that was still standing . Curtis looked at our adrift hand, then lowered his face deeply . A bright red hue spread all over the face until the lehar .
" Let's go" I said
" Uhm "his murmur was brief
Now Curtis is very obedient, he follows whatever I say like a submissive child . He also completely forgot my previous complaint .
.

We rode horses each past the market on the main street of the village, I turned my head to the right and to the left in curiosity .
" What do you want ?? " tanyanya
" I don't know .. " I was confused
I looked around and noticed the surrounding people looking at me curiously, I started to look at my own appearance then looked towards Curtis who was still indifferent towards the surroundings . ' am I still too flashy ?? ' thought .
" Handsome brother, let's go to the best tailor in the village . I want to make some clothes "I said
Curtis was a little confused by my request, but he didn't take it any further and immediately took the lead to go to the best tailor he knew .
We rode through a large road and turned a few turns up to a house that was quite spacious and unique . I got off the horse, and Curtis tied him to the fence in the yard . We walked inside, the interior design of this building is quite unique and colorful . Colorful fabrics adorned the walls, ribbons and lace protruding down from the ceiling, there were also some accessories and beads crammed on the small shelves of ends .
A pretty cute little girl ran over to us, maybe she was a waitress here .
" Lord and mistress, is there anything I can help you with ?? " pain asked with a crisp voice
Curtis, hearing the plain words of this little servant, choked and coughed and his ears began to turn red . While I giggled softly in response, the little girl became confused at our response after she spoke .
A middle-aged woman came out in a hurry when she heard our voices, panicking at my striking appearance and Curtis' high temprament . He also realized that our status was high, so he immediately rushed forward nervously .
" Young Master and Miss, please forgive my daughter's sassiness .". "he said as he lowered his head deeply towards us
" Oh, I'm not offended at all . No need to be too polite "I said lightly
The woman straightened her body nervously she was still hesitating, she glanced at me who was smiling kindly at her . Seeing me who was really not taking issue with his daughter's disrespectful actions towards us, and still smiling kindly, he immediately let go of his own tension and was polite .
" Young Master and Miss, is there anything I can help you with ?? " he asked politely
" I want to make some comfortable dresses" I said
" My skills are very ordinary, let me show you some models of dress designs I made . Maybe someone is lucky to interest the lady " said the woman then showed her the way to the inside of the room
I followed her into the interior of the room with Curtis faithfully trailing behind without a word, where there were some dresses on display . Whether it is finished or half-finished there is a simple characteristic typical of the countryside, I follow it towards a simple sewing machine in the corner of the room .
He then reached into the book which was like a pile of sheets tied together, he then brought it towards me nervously .
" Miss, my efforts are so small that I don't have a sample image for my dress design . These are some sketches when I make a dress, you can see it if it pleases "it's nervous
I received the book politely and kept a gentle smile .
" No need to hesitate, thank you "I said casually
