Suddenly Nobles

Message from Margaret

Weighing millions of stars in a galaxy far away, Eve and Margaret lie next to each other on a warm matted carpet. Both are still dissolved in each other's minds because starting tomorrow morning, their lives will be separated.

Margaret's desire to escape from Sasania with Eve and set a new life in a different land. The land where the cruel duke's power was not valid so Zachary could not separate them. But is he selfish? Sasania and Brodsway need a middle ground for their political upheaval over the past few years. Taking Eve away is tantamount to betrayal in Brodsway's eyes.

Eve lay down on her two hands resting on her head. Every spring, the sky is beautiful. The bright spots coming from the star can be seen forming an image. Beautiful isn't? But unfortunately Eve did not think about it.

"Ma, how do I refuse the order of His Majesty the King?"

Margaret looked over and smiled faintly. "What caused you to be reluctant to meet the Duke of Lumiere? With the money, you can buy whatever you want, Eve."

"Happiness isn't about money, Ma." Eve changed her position. He was on his stomach with both hands propping his head. "If you don't come, it's going to be terrible to live with him."

Margaret's soft laughter flew. He stroked his daughter's hair was fatigued. "There is not only a duke. There's still your brother. Mama's sure she won't act like your father."

Eve sneered, "Can mom name her traits? I'm afraid I'm wrong to think of the waitress there as my brother."

"There-there-is!" Margaret bobbing head. His blue eyes then looked up, watching the dark sky while recalling the face of his little son. "Name Declan. If you just get to know him, people will assume he is arrogant. The boy rarely smiled even at his personal servant. But if she already loves someone, she'll be considerate and a little possessive." Margaret looked back at Eve. The corner of his eyes had already shed tears, "according to mama so. But it has been a dozen years not to meet. How is it now, mama doesn't know anymore either."

"Did mom miss him?"

"Silly question!" Margaret wanted so badly to bang Eve's head against the wall. "Your question just ruins the mood. Such a thing need not be asked!"

"E-eh, wrong, huh?" Scratching her non-itchy head, Eve finally changed her question. "How do you treat Declan's longing?"

"Eve, call him brother."

"Yes, I mean Brother Declan."

"Well, mama can't do anything but. But Declan, may he always keep the things that mom gave him so that he always remembers, that I am still in this world. Same as it is."

"Mama ever give him anything? What'sthat?"

"A knitting bag." Margaret suddenly smiled, recalling her friendship with the elder. "When I was pregnant with you, Eve. Every day I knit some funny clothes and footwear specifically for you."

Hearing this, Eve's eyes sparkled, "Well, really? Where are those funny things now?"

"Still in the castle. If there is time, then look in my old room" replied Margaret full of memories. He went back on. "Because I always make clothes for you, Declan was angry with me because he felt jealous of you who was not born but already had a lot of stuff from me. As an apology, I made him the bag. A black pocket with a sun motif in the center as a memento of mine."

Eve petrifying. The black pouch with the sun motif felt familiar in his mind. Now Eve remembered. With a stiff movement, he grabbed something from his pocket and took out the pouch that Margaret meant. The thing with the money he took from one of Lumiere's sons this afternoon.

"Is this bag you mean?"

Margaret slips. He hurriedly got up and took the bag out of Eve's hand. Research the shape, type of yarn used, and how to knit it. Is correct. This is the bag he was referring to.

"Eve, where did you get this thing?"

"It— as I said before. To get home, I was forced to borrow the money in it, Ma," Eve confessed. "It looks like it belongs to one of Lumiere's sons."

"But after looking around, me and the owner of this pouch are not at all similar. And judging from some side is also very far away, where might we be brothers?!"

"You know, after all, he's still your big brother." Margaret rubbed the surface of the bag with a haru flavor. "Here he still keeps this thing that I gave him. Unfortunately, this thing was stolen. Stolen by his naughty sister."

Hearing the words, Eve scowled, "Ma."

"Joking, baby." Margaret laughed again. Life after this, without Eve somehow feels like it. Margaret did not dare to imagine it. "Ah, yes. There's one thing you can't tell your brother. On Declan."

"What?"

"Whatever happens, don't tell me where you live. That's all."

"Why can't I tell him?" ask Eve again.

"many ask. Just do what you ask, okay?" reply Margaret tried to be patient. Fortunately Eve was his real daughter. If not, he has made sure if the girl with high curiosity in front of him has been thrown into the well.

"I must know the reason so as not to waver, ma. We don't know how it's going to go, do we?"

Margaret sighed. "He could have come here. That's what I'm afraid of. If the duke finds out, Declan will be in big trouble."

Eve frowned dislike. Bizarrely. "What's wrong with visiting your mom? Moreover, we need many things, unlike those who live full of treasure. It's supposed to be filial brother, helping our economy, right?"

"You'll understand. Later, after seeing how Declan is doing." Margaret lay back down. Storing Declan's pouch next to her body and patting the matted carpet next to her. "Sleep, Eve. Tomorrow you must return to the castle early in the morning. Lumiere's carriage will take you. And from tomorrow, your life will change. There will be no more hardship, everything you want can be accomplished easily. One sure— don't argue duke's remarks. That's enough."

Eve according. He laid his body. The woven carpet he was covering felt soft due to the weeds growing underneath.

"But, Ma. What was the purpose of the duke picking me back up. Has not a dozen years passed and all this time there has been no problem between us and them. There's gotta be something, right?"

"Eve, it's night. For that matter, just ask the duke directly when you get to Lumiere castle."

"But, right, Ma—"

Eve turned to Margaret but the woman closed her eyes. As an impingement, Eve snorted. Letting his mind sink into abstract conjecture. Tired of thinking, finally without realizing it, Eve also closed her eyes until her breathing returned to order.

Margaret opened her eyes. Tears could not be held back as soon as he noticed Eve's innocent closed face.

"I'm sorry Mama, Eve. Even if you're my only treasure, but this time you can't be selfish. Sasania needs you to ease the turmoil of the country with Brodsway. After this, Mama didn't expect to see you again. Mama and Sese are left here. Don't worry, our prayers are always for you. Mama loves you."
