Surviving As The Protagonist

Chapter 30: The Origin of Sheyra (1)

The dance that amazes everyone is now ended with Lucy and Emillo who give greetings movements according to their etiquette. Not forgetting they say thank you to each other for enjoying the dance together, then they waltzed off to their destination.

It seems Sir Emillo was looking goodbye to Sheyra to leave the party immediately, Reygan's reaction looks quite unique (?) he seemed to want to ask something but himself looked strange and reluctant to like it.

‘Actually what do you think Rey. You do not appreciate my efforts and instead make rumors of our relationship become increasingly strange.’ decihnya do not like.

Accompanied by a grumbling heart, the girl is now seen approaching Princess Halstead and her friend Silvhia. They were currently looking at him with puppy eyes because they were amazed at Lucy's dancing ability.

“Miss Lucy is really good at dancing!” silvhia Excited excited.

‘It…. I really accept the Marchionest Lagherta teachings well, after all now if I use Lucy's body it will be easier to learn anything, including magic.’ her inner feeling burdened while turning her face away.

“I think the ability of Lady is more drastically improved than when at the party of the maturity of Lady yes.” said the Duke Princess, who had no idea what she meant.

‘That's a compliment right?’ he asked her who was unsure.

Yes indeed, the dance at that time was quite embarrassing if remembered. He was only forced to practice dancing for a few days with the condition of the body that has not fully adapted, he also wants to learn to dance because he previously claimed he could not dance for the maturity party that will be held in a few days for him.

‘At that time I saw Rey's strange reaction when her shoes were stepped on several times. His face looked cold when our eyes were fixed. Is this a miracle for him who lately suddenly behaved differently than usual.’ his inner self who feels that this is quite difficult to believe.

“Your compliments are too excessive.” he said accompanied by a beaming face, again the reaction of Princess Halstead was quite strange, but he did not care.

“I'm sorry, I'm quite tired. I want to go looking for the wind first.” pampitnya before going to the balcony.

Inside that quiet passageway, Lucy's current expression was quite ridiculous. Sir Emillo asked him to meet on the balcony, but….

“From the total of 17 balconies available at Hotel Marigold, it is more precisely which balcony?!” confusion is not a cross.

When viewed from the door that closed, it means that the place has been filled by other nobles. What if he chose an open door?

He stepped through several closed doors, until at the 8th door he finally found a balcony that had not been used. He entered the place slowly, apparently after he looked here and there, there was no one there.

“How is it?” the question is completely dead-end.

Suddenly he thought of one thing, ‘Didn't I just have to call his name? But what if we're too far away?’ he continued really riled up.

In the end he called his name slowly, “Sir..” he said slowly. Although not necessarily going to work, but it never hurts to try.

Long enough for him to remain silent without hearing the certainty of someone coming. Until like a miracle, the towering tree trembled while displaying the figure of the man who was climbing in front of him.

Their gazes met, ‘Her resilience Sir Emillo never let me down.’ his inner being grateful because at this time there is no drama misplaced like the style of television soap opera.

This is a secret meeting, there should be no witnesses who see them meet secretly, if like this it would be better for him not to stand out too much towards the balcony, he said, if anyone sees Sir Emillo climbing a tree, isn't it just him who supposedly met a Lady secretly?

“I'm sorry, I was really overwhelmed to find the whereabouts of your voice.” he said with a flushed look.

“You why?” ask Lucy who feels strange about Sir Emillo's gig.

“No, I was quite difficult to find Miss because from the bottom it looks nothing.” he said while turning his face.

‘Isn't the balcony next door really full of other nobles? Maybe he's a bit confused to look for my voice trail.’ he thought inwardly.

The meeting this time looked silent, The man was seen kneeling before him saying, “I have got everything Miss asked.” he said with a serious look.

“What with this I will find something I have been looking for all this time?” asked with a face that is difficult to explain, the man did not answer the sign that he himself was not so sure.

“Wait a minute Sir.” his door stopped Sir Emillo who was originally about to speak.

Lucy is seen reciting a barrier magic spell around so that anyone who tries to peek at them will not hear any of the talk. The man was a little amazed because the first time he saw Lucy showed magic in front of his eyes.

Huft..

Sir Emillo can be seen sighing, before long he began to tell the origin of Sheyra which he thought was quite difficult to dig.

Thomas Chevelle was a noble who had just obtained the title of baron from the king, if in view of the year maybe when Lucy was 5 years old? Or a 4-year-old beurmur when viewed from Sheyra. Their age is only one year different.

So if you notice, Baron Chevelle is the first generation in the kingdom of Garfield. They are also a newly wealthy family because they have just managed a small mining of iron ore in the region which is quite popular and attracted the attention of the king.

After looking deeper, “It seems Miss Chevelle signed up for the magic academy when she was 7 years old, but there are 1 surprising fact.” she said really seriously. Lucy seemed to be watching Emillo closely.

“What is it?” ask him who wants to know that.

“Nona Chevelle was declared missing after 2 years of schooling in the academy.” mengelapnta successful make Lucy's eyes wide.

It is suspected that Sheyrea disappeared because she had been stolen by a seller of human organs when she was on her way home during the semester break.

‘So there has been an incident like this huh in Sheyra's past?’ thought in the heart.

Then, the coachman carrying Sheyra's carriage died with his neck severed, his chariot shattered and leaving only Sheyra's belongings left there.

Actually the magic academy is also a boarding school. It's just that Lucy and Lyonora are getting special treatment that allows her to enter and exit the academy, because Lucy is a friend of the Crown Prince and Lyonora who is the fiance of the Crown Prince.

‘Means Sheyra also back then had magic power huh?’ he thought this was confusing.

In fact, after being declared dead. Sheyra returned after 5 years, and this fact was not so widespread, because after one year Sheyra never returned, his family agreed that the girl was gone with the possibility of her organs being sold on the dark market.

“Before this case was closed just like that, by assuming that Miss Chevelle was gone. Those who are only small nobles are also not so noticed by around.” explained Sir Emillo.

“What because the girl had disappeared, so Baron to celebrate his maturity party to this size?” tanyanya's confused.

The man with White mane was seen nodding signs in agreement with his words, “There is a possibility.”, he replied in a firm tone.

“But the rumor of Mr. Baron losing his daughter is also only enslaved in the old newspaper, but the news is not so enlarged and almost rarely becomes the subject of discussion in the upper class association.” Lucy's opinion that felt that the story about Sheyra was not so well known by the nobles.

Moreover, the news was also more intense after Sheyra returned. He also quit the magic academy because his magic power was declared to have disappeared.

“That's a suspicious point Sir.” scolds Lucy with a strange look on her face.

“He can still survive even though there is no magic in his body? Isn't it weird.” thought it was Lucy who thought that this didn't make sense.

“I feel so too, but the case was closed as a scarcity on Sheyra's body and no one took issue.” replied Sir Emillo as he rubbed his white mane, apparently looking agitated.

The happy father was not so suspicious of this problem that he only welcomed Sheyra who was alive and breathing. Sheyra said that she was saved by an uncle and aunt, so she lived and was taken care of in the village.

“According to the information I got, Miss Chevelle at the time of the abduction, hit her head on the horse-drawn carriage and lost her memory. At that time he just collapsed and somehow, Uncle from a small village came to save him from kidnapping.” he said who was a little amazed.

“So someone saved Sheyra at that time yes.” said Lucy while massaging her temples that began to get dizzy.

She said Sheyra spent 5 years there, her uncle's grief was gone, and her grieving aunt became sickly and died following in her uncle's footsteps.

When the funeral was held, he found a letter with a bag that seemed to be deliberately hidden Bibi under his bed, the letter contained the reality of all the identity of Sheyra that he had been hiding all along.

...You are the missing Princess of Lord Baron Chevelle. Auntie loves you so much that she's afraid to see the kidnapper again....

...Finally Aunt has no courage...

...to get you back there....

...All I did was hide you in this small village, this is the sling bag you were wearing when you were kidnapped....

...There are some items that might help to restore your memory....

...You have grown up. Auntie believes you can protect yourself....

...Sorry Aunt....

“The letter really only contains a confession and apology yes..you found this from where?” ask the girl curious.

“Some closed informants.” he said and Lucy just nodded in a sign of understanding.

“But if the letter is indeed not going to cause misunderstanding right? All the questions about him have been answered. What was the reason he disappeared? Where was he when he disappeared? Everything becomes simple. Is Sheyra's appearance too perfect?" ask Lucy who feels there is a bit of an oddity about her.

“Itu— I also agree that the appearance is too smooth, especially he remains alive even though witches without magic power.” reply with closed eyes.

This information can be concluded that Sir Emillo did not get so much information about him because it was very difficult to find.

Strangely enough, when Sheyra returned, the Baron master made a massive dismissal and replaced all of his servants with new servants.

When questioned to one of the long-sacked waiters, he gave a characteristic about Sheyra that, “Nona Sheyra is very friendly, docile and kind.” says the waiter who has been serving Sheyra since she was 4 years old.

When asked by one of the servants who had recently been fired for making a mistake, he only said bad things.

“Nona's character is ugly, he treats the waiter arbitrarily even though his noble status is not so high. I who accidentally spilled a little tea was immediately fired without tolerance and letters of recommendation.” he said with a feeling that looks angry.

Whether real or not, this information would be hard to believe because it could be that the fired waiter was exaggerating his story.

When compared Sheyra's nature looks opposite, the obvious change was seen when he returned after disappearing for 5 years.

“And there was concern for His Majesty, when I noticed him a long time ago, his nature was too fickle when he was between you and Miss Sheyra.” he said suddenly, Lucy nodded her head at the sign of their suspicion the same.

“Can you tell them when they actually found it?” the very last question.

“Itu— at the funeral of Miss Lyonora.”
