"Your grandfather thinks so, baby. But I also don't remember anything about my previous life"
"I don't know my life when I was the great concubine of my mother. But how did Grandpa know?"
"Say we both have the exact same birthmark as our previous lives. Mother's behind the ear, you're on your back."
"Mother's birthmark is like a picture of a ship, while your birthmark is a picture of a star with a small dot in the middle. The star indicates glory or success, while that little dot is the curse that accompanies it."
"Why haven't you told me before? Even then, when I asked about Louisa Balley the Great Concubine?"
"Mother herself was not so sure of the story about the mother's relationship with the great concubine. So what should I tell you?"
",So when do you start to be sure?"
"So when you told me about your pregnancy"
"What's mom's connection?"
"It's related to Louisa's prophecy. Said by your grandfather, if in the prophecy it says two things. The first second aura would surface after the first one was shattered by despair. The second fruit, will only be seen after the branches are cut, planted elsewhere so as to cause regret of the main tree"
"So you mean mother?"
"After you get divorced, you just get caught taking your child away. And after the child is born, it is only known by king Peter that you have a son. And at that time, even the greatest regrets will be useless. Ohya, your father gave me a letter from Peter. What's it say?"
"I haven't read mom. Just later.. Mother, how the Bruswick family knows all about Louisa Balley, not to mention her relationship with the Gili family as well as the Maxim family. Everything makes me even more confused.."
"Mother is also less clear, but certainly at the home of the Bruswick family in the western continent, when mother was still not married to your father, he said, I was once shown a storage room for objects and letters left by Louisa Balley. It's just that, you weren't so interested in it all. Maybe someday it won't have to visit there"
"If the Gili and Maxim families?"
"You ask them both?"
"Mother Ren asked, but the answer was unsatisfactory. He just said their family was Louisa Balley's loyal servant. If it was Shine, she said she didn't know what Louisa Balley was about. He only knows the Bruswick family"
"Maybe you can ask Grandpa Bruswick if b he's back. For a while, let it be like this first. It's late, rest. Mom wants to rest too. Tomorrow we talk back"
"Good night, my daughter"
"Good night mom"
The long talk was finally over. Sofia returns to her room, while Louisa is silent for a moment. Talked to Margaret.
"That meant Lorine's death was actually already determined. And it seems like my previous death has also been determined. Or are the two related?"mumbling slowly.
"Oh Peter's letter. Where did I put it?"he said while searching among the piles of papers.
"Here we go. Just a regular roll, just a personal seal, not a kingdom."
Louisa tore the seal off, and unrolled the letter.
...Best wishes to Arduchess Lorine Bruswick Valley....
...As for the purpose of this letter, I apologize for not being able to come to the inauguration of the Wind Valley Kingdom....
...Not because it's too busy, but because I don't have face to face meeting with Valley's extended family....
...Lorine, when I received your previous letter, I was completely aware of all my mistakes with you. You who have given up your life to support me, I will repay my betrayal. I'm sorry Lorine....
...Back when we were together, once you asked to improve the road infrastructure in district nine. But I always put it off, because I thought we had a long time. Since our relationship is different now, there's no way I'm helping on behalf of Gordon's kingdom. It would be against the rules, also offending the Valley of Wind. Let me help you personally. I'll send a number of people who can help you make road improvements. And the cost, let it be my responsibility....
...***On the twenty district, I do not intend to throw any responsibility upon you. But I gave it to the Valley of Wind because the closest access to the twenty district was district eight. They border the land directly....
...If you think it throws responsibility because there is still a lot of chaos there, then again I apologize***....
...I just hope, our relationship isn't really cut off Lorine. And don't ever say again, if the Lorine I knew had died because it hurt my heart so much. After all, the name Lorine Brucwick Valley will always be in my heart. Karena Let me once again extend a hand, and this time in the name of friendship....
...Forgive me for all my selfishness, and thank you for all your sacrifices for me and Gordon's kingdom....
...My deepest respect...
...Peter...
Louisa sighed.
"If the bond of fate is true, why is it so easy for you to forget me? Is it the same as me, you also don't remember anything about our previous lives? And why is destiny playing me?"
Louisa exhausted herself and ended up sound asleep even with her legs still hanging in bed.
*****
Morning
Tok.dok..
No response from the room.
Kreek....
The door to the room opened slowly. Reneism enters Louisa's room. He was a little surprised to see Louisa sleeping without even using a blanket.
"How could he sleep so well in such circumstances?"muttered.
He then flicked through the curtains of the room window, then opened the window letting the morning air into the room.
"Miss. It's early in the morning, you're not usually late to wake up like this. Let's get up..."
"Mother Ren, I'm still sleepy. I slept late. Ten more minutes huh.." said Louisa with eyes still closed.
"Can't miss. Minister Willi came, he said his brother from Sky city had come and brought the order miss. Not to mention the representatives of some kingdoms might arrive today."
"What's? What did you say?" louisa wakes up.
"So Minister Willi came looking for Miss. He said..."
"I wake up immediately. "cut Louisa. "Help me pick a shirt, mom. I'll take a shower first..."
"It was exciting to hear his order arrive. What did he order from Willi's brother?"muttered Reneism while picking up the clothes that Louisa was going to wear.
Louisa took a quick shower. Not as usual who linger long soaking.
"Mother, where's the dress?"
"It's madam. Let me help you.."
"Mom, has anyone else had breakfast?"
"Already miss. After breakfast, Lady Margaret went to see Queen Sofia. While the great lord and lord Lucky went with the crown prince Lark. The big lady went to the market, was about to take the lady. But since the lady hasn't woken up yet, she's been forced to leave."
"Mom, can I have breakfast later? After meeting with Minister Willi?"
"Can't miss. The big madam had already reminded you, you should have breakfast first. If not, where can you go"
