Changing destiny ' White Rose '

CHAPTER 35

The golden rice rolls swayed in the wind, several flying sparrows circled over it to steal some rice grains . They took advantage of the opportunities of the farmers who were resting under shady trees . The peasants of the village talked to each other in a friendly and open manner with each other, the girls and mothers preparing the dishes they brought from home for lunch together .

After lunch and a short break, they returned to the rice fields to harvest the rice that had been ready for harvest . They worked together to cut the rice stalks in the rice fields and piled them on the edge to make a large rice mountain . While the women and girls pounded the dimples on the edge of the rice field while joking together, sometimes the girls my age sang to accompany the sound of the rhythm of the rice mortar . The little children were running around merrily on the edge of the surrounding rice fields while carrying bamboo ferris, their laughter was heard to my ears .

I watched them in the shade of shady trees on a hill not far from the rice field where the farmers were engaged . After a brief tour of the market I found nothing interesting, maybe because the village of Reives is a small village so there are no interested traders so all the goods in the market are handmade from the locals .

I saw that nothing else could interest me, and then started complaining to Curtis . Curtis took me to the edge of the village to rest while looking at the beautiful yellowing rice landscape . We tied the horses under a small hill, allowing them to graze under the hill while taking a short rest . While I spent time on the hill while tasting various flavors of candy that I bought earlier .

I sat on my backside while Curtis, he lay comfortably on the green grass . Using a pillow next to his arm, Curtis closed his ever-sharp gray eyes . His lentic eyelashes obscured the cold features on his face, now that handsome face was very alluring who saw it .

" Handsome brother, I'm bored .. "I complain again

Curtis was silent, he just opened his eyes slightly and glanced at me who was pouting candy . Then he closed his eyes again, not responding to me .

" Why aren't there any interesting shows on the market ... ?? " my words still complain even though they are not responded to

" His handsome brother, do you know of any interesting places ?? " i said while looking at him

" Next time" Curtis said briefly without opening his eyes

I fell silent and let out a long sigh, I threw my body back and went to lie down on the grass like Curtis .

" Ha .... very bored ... " cried out.

Curtis furrowed his brows interrupted but remained unmoved as before . I closed my eyes enjoying the rustling sound of tree leaves rubbing against the wind, the laughter of young children in the distance, and the singing accompanied by the rhythm of dimples from farmers .

I smiled calmly and almost fell asleep when I suddenly remembered something . I jumped to my feet while shouting so that it surprised Curtis who was sleeping next to me .

" a !!! I remember ..!!! " suddenly I shouted

Curtis was surprised and opened his eyes in shock, in fact he would scold me but he was confused to see me who had run down the hill .

" Cleo !! " he called me

" A moment .. " cried without looking

I ran down the hill towards the resting horses, I picked up my violin box hanging in the saddle of the horse . Then ran back up the hill where Curtis was waiting for me in confusion .

" I took this "I said as I showed the violin box I was holding in my hand

" I plan to show you about my musical ability, hah ... so hot .." I said with a complaint

I hiked up with great difficulty, then threw my butt back next to Curtis and heaved a sigh of relief while wiping my sweat with the broad sleeves of my dress .

Curtis looked at the sparkling sweat droplets that were left on my forehead, he took the cloth handkerchief in his pocket and helped me wipe it down slowly . I smiled briefly then refocused on opening my beloved violin box .

This violin box once looked very luxurious but Curtis only glanced at it this morning and did not feel any other curiosity . I raised a very beautiful snow-white violin, then smiled as I rubbed it a little .

" This is my favorite violin, this body is weak so I'm not allowed out is . Therefore I can only learn various things to fill my free time "said while looking down at the violin in my hand

Curtis looked at me flatly, but the look in his eyes looked at me deeply . As if he represented his feelings that he could not say, "it must be difficult" he said briefly

I straightened my head and turned to the side looking at Curtis, I smiled helplessly and then said slowly .

" Hmm, little . Hah .. however I must be perfect to survive .. "

Then I turned my gaze straight ahead towards the carefree inhabitants of the distance, a beautiful smile splashing on my bright red lips .

" This body also has a smart brain, so it doesn't make me too difficult ." I said cheerfully again

Curtis saw a variety of emotional changes that contrasted with the blink of an eye on his little girl, he always felt his little girl was very different from girls his age . Sometimes he was childish, ignorant, and careless according to his age . Sometimes he also has tricks, plans, and mindset that should belong to adults . Sometimes Curtis thinks that every high-class noble girl is always required to be perfect, resulting in her little girl growing up prematurely, that means Curtis often doesn't understand Cleo's slightly odd way of speaking . As he currently said 'this body' isn't normally 'my body', his words were as if the body he was wearing wasn't his .

But no matter how and like any little girl, to Curtis she was still Cleo .. Cleo ....

Curtis pensively looked at Cleo who was now smiling brightly again, he realized he could not say or interfere in the rules of the noble family because he was nothing to the girl before him .

I smiled then got up while raising my violin .

" Want to see a live music show, I guarantee you won't regret "I cried out while smiling idly

Curtis subconsciously raised the corner of his lips to look at his dazzling smiling little girl before him, he raised one of his eyebrows in response to my words . His cold expression softened then he muttered softly in agreement .

" Uhm" he muttered

I smiled a little and put my favorite violin on my shoulder I closed my eyes and started playing it, I permeated the melody that began to flow very elegantly typical of a well-educated noble girl but still implied also the unfettered free melody characteristic of myself .

Curtis listened to the perfect play of the melody that rose and fell with a smooth, comfortable and serene expression sculpted on the beautiful face of his beautiful little girl . Curtis stared charmingly at the alluring appearance every inch on his body, not blinking an inch until the end of the song ...

I opened my eyes and our gaze met together, I smiled sincerely at this young man before me . The first young man I trusted and treated with the utmost respect a true friend . I lowered my violin and took a step forward, I lowered my waist, bent forward right in our face facing each other without distance .

" How ?? no regrets, no ??! " ask with complete confidence

Curtis looked at me in a long silence, his cold expression gone but the look on his face remained flat . But there was a deep wave of emotion swirling in his usually indifferent eyes .

Curtis opened his mouth wanting to answer when suddenly there was the sound of a broken twig in the bush not far from their current position .

" Who ??!!!! " excited Curtis loudly

Curtis stood up directly and pointed himself behind his back, staring furiously at the bushes from which the sound originated . Curtis is for himself who was careless and did not pay attention to the surrounding, all this time he was always sensitive and sensitive to any things around him .  This time he was too focused on the alluring appearance of his little girl that he was unaware that someone was already this close to them .

I clung to Curtis's arm and peered slightly at the bushes that were now swaying in a rough rustling sound .

3 little heads appeared timidly from behind the bushes, these 3 little ones were part of the children playing together on the edge of the field below . ' why are they here ?? ' I thought confused .

Feeling like there's nothing dangerous anymore I'm coming out from behind Curtis's back, The 3 children were made up of 2 boys who were like a 5-year-old and a younger girl, probably around 4 years old .

The faces of the little children were so frightened, they were so nervous that they would cry . The little girl who was in the middle looked very frightened, she held tightly to the hand of the boy beside her while lowering her head . His face was red, his eyes were teary, he bit his lips firmly withstanding the cries .

' Why is it that we are oppressing them ?? ' my inner

Plaques

I slapped Curtis' arm hard, then started to grumble, Curtis raised next to her brow confused .

" Look ... You scared them handsome brother !!! " i cried while blinking one of my eyes

Curtis silently did not respond, I smiled kindly at the three boys who were still glancing at us timidly .

" Bo... little boy, what are you guys doing hiding in there ?? " manyu friendly

They were still looking down at each other, finally a skinny little boy on the left ventured himself forward and answered my question .

" K .. ka .. we heard the sound of music .. we, we were just curious .. "he said as slow as a mosquito

" Ah .. if you just want to hear there's no need to hide . Come sit down together !! " i said relax

The three boys were now shocked, they complained to look at me in disbelief . I smiled gently reassuring those who were hesitant and while twisting the dull clothes they used .

" Come .. don't be afraid, we won't eat you" I said idly

I grabbed and gently pulled the skinny hand from the boy who spoke to me earlier, he looked surprised when I pulled him . He was confused, a little scared but not fighting back, the last girl and boy followed behind with still a little frightened and curious .

I pulled them back under the shadow of the tree, Curtis followed obediently behind me . I again threw my ass comfortably on the grass which was quite thick, Curtis returned to the position of lying in place earlier . He closed his eyes, his attitude changed back to being as indifferent as ever .

I looked astonished to see the three boys still standing not far from us .

" Hah ... come sit down !! " i said as I patted the grass on the ground

They glanced back at each other when they heard my words, like there was something they couldn't say . The little girl who was in the middle of it glanced slightly at Curtis who was lying indifferently . I turned to look at Curtis who was still closing his eyes no matter, 'are they afraid of Curtis ?? ' thought

" Don't be afraid, let's sit here . This brother just looks fierce, but he's actually a good person "I said explaining

Finally they sat quietly beside me, looking for the position furthest from Curtis . I smiled amusedly at their behavior .

" Want candy "I said while offering various types of candy in the box

The little children's eyes immediately sparkled brightly when they saw the various delicious sweets in the box, they completely forgot their fears earlier .

" Take what you like "I said with a gentle smile

They looked at me a bit before taking 1 piece of their favorite candy each .

" Thank you "snell them at the same time

" It doesn't matter, take it again as you like" I said

Then they started to enjoy the candy in their mouths, their faces flushed red with pleasure . These kids, even though they look thin and look a little shabby, but they look healthy, so I think 'this little village is not too poor ' .

I grabbed my violin and started playing a song again . But as soon as I finished, I saw the little ones looking at me with too much admiration . I coughed awkwardly at their innocent stares, making me a little misbehaved .

Curtis glanced and smiled a little at me who was clumsy, he closed his eyes again so that I would not be embarrassed . The boys applauded enthusiastically .

pok .. pok .. pok ..

" Miss, very good !! " cry that skinny boy

The only boy nodded in agreement .

" Miss, very clever!!. .. and beautiful " said the shy girl

The boy nodded back in agreement . I laughed awkwardly, then started to shift the topic .

" Hahaha .. Thank you "I said clumsy

" Oh yeah, what are you guys doing here ?? " i said to divert the chatter

But a second later I realized my question just seemed stupid, 'of course they accompanied her parents, right ?? ' for me in the mind . Curtis wanted to laugh at my awkward reaction, but he just held it inside . His expression was still stiff and flat on the outside .

Fortunately I asked was a plain little boy, so they didn't think there was anything wrong with my question and answered it honestly .

" I accompanied my mother and grandfather" the little girl said as she chewed a large piece of chocolate candy in her mouth

" Ah .. so yes .. "" I said as I scratched the non-itchy tip of my nose

' Ah ... Damn it !! I really can't get along with a kid !!! ' my mind is frustrated
