Chapter 25 - Fraction-25

" Evan!! Evan!! Can you hear me? How could you let this happen to my sweet adorable little brother? Where were you? I specifically assigned you to take care of his health, then how did you even let this happen." Sighs " Didn't you called him already, haven't you? Where is he, then-"

" My-lady, if you wish shall I head directly myself in " Molaugs infirmary," I'm sure there must've been some sort of urgent matter-"

" How come rather treating my cute little brother cannot consider emergency. Call him up already, if something were to happen to my Evan, then he must bear consequences. I will not hesitant to burn his precious 'sanatorium' you hear me."

(An establishment that provides therapy typically involving specific regimens (such as special diet, fresh air, or daily exercise) for treatment or rehabilitation.)

" I'm confident young master "Evandor (/ Evans) soon will walk like nothing happened- (Cold glare) forgive my imprudent, I will make sure "Sir-Carmis molaugs" will be in here before quarter pass the sunlight of dusk."

" Cloid..!!!" A sign to come with the servant in light armour surrounded by weighted body, perfectly suiting his peak, who was initially talking to the lady in golden 'Mantua'

(A Mantua dress, is a lavish garment typically made from rich silk brocade adorned with intricate patterns. It features a fitted bodice with a low, square neckline framed by lace ruffles and tight sleeves that flare into billowing cuffs at the elbow. The most distinctive element is its voluminous skirt, gathered at the back into a large train that trails behind. The dress is meticulously crafted with hidden pins and ties, often embellished with fine stitching and pearls, symbolizing wealth and elegance.)

(Corseted bodices made from sturdy fabrics like cotton, linen, or wool in practical, muted colours. These bodices featured lighter boning for some support and were laced up for adjustability. They had modest, high necklines and long or three-quarter sleeves for practicality. Reinforced seams ensured durability, and they were often worn over simple chemises. Paired with aprons and practical pockets, these bodices balanced functionality and modesty, suitable for long hours of labour while maintaining a neat appearance.)

That servant whom been summoned just moment ago nodded his head, presenting an approval approach, after he completed his visit on the scenario. where that little lady bedlam with discomfort. When both "corseted bodices" worn lady ( a slender body, oval face, shown some roughness or perhaps wrinkle on her skin, Her macilent body having so clear that, ragged loosen elasticity of the skin, showing as "creepy skin". suited with squared glasses.) and "Cloid Hafuss" approached near the exit of that humongous door. She entrusted her vision toward a timid blooming face in that same room. Her signed commended that girl to approach towards where that little lady was, she was in that bed side. After when corseted dress lady felt her work has been assured, she quietly removed herself along with cloid from that room and head towards her given task.

The girl who approached near that little lady along some other servants wore a simple white "chemise dress"

(A chemise dress worn by working-class women in noble households was a simple, loose-fitting garment made from lightweight fabrics like cotton or linen. It served as an undergarment and sometimes as outerwear for its practicality and comfort. The chemise typically featured a high neckline and long sleeves, providing modesty and ease of movement. It was often plain and unadorned, focusing on functionality. The dress usually fell to the ankles and was cinched at the waist with a belt or drawstring, allowing for flexibility in fit and suitability for various household tasks.)

She hesitantly say, "You shouldn't worry yourself my lady. You will ruin your beauty. Don't worry young master is safe I'm positive, before your arrival Sir- Carmis molaugs visited, and he precisely told us, it's nothing a matter need to worry yourself."

" Then, why "xue" is my brother looks in pain? As if Demons were haunting him. Can't you look for yourself, he can't even sleep quietly without any pain."

An uncomplexed face rose on 'Xue chang', Suiting dry on her short Ash coloured hair with fitting trimmed bangs, Chubby on similar portion of believable sight. Not as fair as any other maids. She admitted that she couldn't ease her lady's pain, simultaneously she didn't want to fail In her senior "Klois Wright" given Opportunity. She was also surrounded by other maids. In fact, Head housekeeper been missing "Irene Douglas" Who should've been presented there isn't available because of prior business, specially talking She's been out with Miss " Ni-la Mushok Earnhardt."

This commotion stated similar for the time being, until an unorthodox approach of man in his mid 30s haven't showed up. Constantly Insisted by klois Wright, and cloid. He was dressed as an official doctor attire in white. But surprisingly untidy, messy hair along reek been surrounding himself. Another noticeable point was his dim "apogee" and layers of "paunch." How supposedly a man can consider himself a medical servant in that state. But, this scenario doesn't have any abnormal effect people around, As if they were used to it. When he saw scenarios of what been bearing himself upon. He fixed his falling apron from right corner of his shoulder. While amusingly approaching towards that little lady. Who is still situated herself just beside against that bed, leaning half of size onto that bed.

" Dear Silvia, what's wrong? What a mourning appearance you got there?"

With this we've came to be know the identity of That little lady, she's none other than Silvia Earnhardt but this time on her youth, ( About 17 years younger) Although Such insolence behaviour towards lady in charge, even if her youth doesn't demand respect but without a question her name, title and position surely does. Another flown of unwavering silence responded, but this time soldier guarded the door displays some resistance, but another maid presented their shows manoeuvre Perfectly causing Guarded soldier not to resist on her accord.

A vigorous glaze befall, up risen and meticulous glazes later Sir molagus Lowered his presence and checked again Evan with all efforts. This might have been the perfect time, where all angered should've showered on him. Although such situations didn't occur, Little Silvia have thousands of words needed to say, but even considering her age– she's still holds not only her but her family name. She cannot present herself harshly, Beside she have to respect, lowered her presence above those who have bestowed name by their traits. Which is Nowhere near alone to family name she got. Without it she doesn't even have position. This may be specific reason why her angered hindered when Sir Molagus arrived and how she was acting before towards her servant. This maybe the reason why 'another Maid' influenced 'Guarded soldier' before.

Now, Silvia just observed with gloom, wet eyes. She haven't spoken a word after what Sir Molagus said, no one didn't apparently. Only heavy breathe from Evans that all there to be heard. Somewhere Sir Molagus also understand that he shouldn't have taken this matters lightly and mind his words while speaking in such sensitive times, Considering his behaviour it still hold heavy, but he wouldn't have gotten precognition how suddenly Evans health worsen or practically reverted compared to his visit before. His signs are somehow unorthodox concept, hands and body been cold as frozen iceberg, upper body near and above abdomen suffering from unimaginable Fever, heavy breathe, sore throat, pale skin and almost dry- reddish pupils. He performed various methods of uncommon to the presented bodies along with specific related tools bought in his bag. Surprisingly he didn't used any Ethereal means, typically associated or depicted. Some regular means of checking pulse, applying vivid, vibrant gluey Herbal remedies used to increase excessive sweat for fever, Used a silver or bronze slim spoon with Certified warm fluids for hypothermia and sore throat ( which was a surprise for Sir Molagus too) addition to soak white towel on his forehead, and provided with liquid medicines. This all means we're very simple yet very unusual, uncommon to Most parts of the continent. It was common knowledge that priest and blessing is one needed when someone get injured, yet practitioners like sir Molagus still remained. Further collective collections of "whizzy Equipment" Stranded On that same bed as Evan lying. He used specific methods of uncustomary procedure with prodigious techniques that none can imitate even they witnessed multiple of times.

He then vamoose after greeting Silvia and same for greetings was offered by her, despite how she looked like. A fragile fumble appearance. There was nothing she could achieve on her own, she was delighted with such grace of presence when children usually demands without thinking twice. How intriguing personality, but she's somewhere near as Noble, such thing are very common yet not aligned as weird in nobility. This time only 'Guarded soldier' accompanied Sir Molagus departure because at this very moment Evans have came to sense with some concussion, This very moment was that altered Silvia attention towards her brother. She quickly frowned herself in that bed after leaving xue presence. Evans woke up as he was continuously struggled in water, conquering failed attempts before drowning. He coughed high and heavy can possible, witnessing in sub- conscious alluding around, who.... What and again where am I? Quickly maids began to wipe his sweat from his body. Now that he haven't wore anything on his escalated chassis, (body) because of Molagus thoroughly tore them out on his examination. His vision was blocked by a padding of Silvia's body with familiar voices, and a particularly " Jasmine fragrance."

" Evan, you're finally awake my brother? How you feelin', does it hurt anywhere, does – does it? Oh you, how much of a troubling are you to your sister? But don't worry, now I'm here?"

She continued to hug him around with her small body but compared to her, Evan's was only 4 years old... So wholly covering him on her arms wasn't big of a problem. But Evan on the other hand gazes in vain for some unknown reason. Such scenario not only relieved Xue alone but other maids too.

"huh?! Sister Silvia... Is that really you?! Why are you so small... It's more like the day, when I...?! Ah.. Another concussion... My head, Ah!! Is this Deja vu, but I can ...no, Ahh...sheeshh !! .....Xue! Is that you? You haven't changed all these years, and sister do you still use jasmine flower as a bracelet? We are not kids anymore- huh! Her hand..... No! My hands what happened why do they feel so small? Give me mirror! Quick!!"

"What.. are you talking?!...what you mean behaving like children?! ....do you have memory loss, amnesia? No... No that can't happenin'! It can't right?!! it's me your only sister... Whom you used to play with, remember anything? He will remembered it right? Even if were to lose his memories... I- I will make him to remember all of it. He will right? Right xue?! Right!" Frozen, shaking hands with bewildering drops of grown tears. She nearly fall besides the bed. With such attire she shaped herself as the lost model of "beau idéal."

"calm down my lady! Please maintain your composer! I'm also very saddened by young master's state.. But please!! you have to be the one to behave strong! Come on have some water." When Silvia commove and clinged towards xue, "Luri Whitehat" intervened honestly knowing that xue also cannot handle it. She quickly demanded water through other maids similarly, convoke other in care of young master, simultaneously Luring xue dress with her another hand, she intended to captivated stupor xue, but all her attempts seems to falling apart.

This whole commotion taking place simultaneously, impuissant was clearly visible on Luri's face. This was almost been witnessed before by Evans at this point. He haven't able to decipher, any of this. Nearly his sense have been Tormented thrice already, anyone could be still remain sane at this point. But not all the hopes been buried under the shadow of dying lamp.

" why.... Who, why are you doing this to me? Whispering in ears, feeling granting as really narrating my life? Who are you tell me, please just.... Give me back my memories? Why do I really have to suffer this much? Does my deed haven't even lighten after all this times..."

" Whom you ask?! My wavering medium might onerous to your species but that won't necessarily be in THY'S perspective. I've already understood by our first counter. But hear me, you are really not where you think it is.... Not really what it is, not what you used to be or will be, not what you had it or wished it, not what you need it or begged it."

" what that supposed to mean? Tell me more tell... Me, if that's not your objective? Why keep me here, let go of me!"

" oh.... No, you're heavily mistaken, I wasn't the one who brought you here willingly, instead you're the one who entered In my domain."

" Your Domain-"

At this point another similar rage of tantrum have been thrown by him. His comprehension is very limited, to the point where he could denounce his own presence, heavily relying on his those proportion of sanity remained on his mind. For him this was third time, having limited memories, half understanding, brim frustration and questions. All and all, this was like a unripe lucid dreams for him, Casually visiting different aspects of possible diegesis of his life without proper seize on his ambience.

Likewise when Four years old Evans felt that be-littlest commotion before his soften mien, he observed his surroundings by those big mushy eyes and velvety body of his in odd, cloddish manner, Goofed off, sitting idly in that bed. He discern while thinking in his mind, why exactly are they staring at him, as if I was blabbering to myself? I have to explain my exact position here... I have to? But why is this effort? What exactly will I intended to achieve. Isn't that voice told I don't have anything? He is opposing my will or I am the one? Nevertheless, I'm really 4 years old... This is almost similar to what happened at that time too. A brim, eensy recollection of my accident, wonder why I still remember in such a limpid patterns.

These actions and remembrance of his notion are completely intertwined, the moment he woke in bare body, soaked from sweat. He was Still Wearing that 'Rain drop like half locket, no perhaps an incomplete piece of Moon, which was in fact somehow similar to his sister.' Particularly red in colour. Now's the second time he spoken words in more compose manner with loosen voice just afterthoughts later. Firstly he spokes to his sister who've been fallen down, slightly adjusting his upper body and commutable hands of approach and he timidly said-

" Sister- why are you spoiling your favourite dress like that, and what's with your way of ruining your grace.... Didn't I apprise to you, I'm not really fond of your unappealing side, where is my alluring sister? Here take my hand and sit here.... You worry cat."

"Huh! Why you speaks such words, why would I care when your health is such grave, You.. Stupid, can't you see your sister is worried sick for you"

She swiftly clinged into Evans, again acquiring a suffocation scenario for him. While this was all over- shifting around..... Luri finally get the chance to calm herself and stood at side in relax, but before that she thoroughly instructed remaining maids in presence for neaten up the square and immediate vacant the space. Only along with herself Xue remained on the site, she should've also been gone with the other maids. But she's more closer to both siblings than others. An urged to quickly follow her instincts slightly emerged on her heart, but along with her status she never would move on her own, it was well known to not only Evans but following personnel of Earnhardt family with handful of people.

while manifold of reminders later by Evans, xue who keeps herself always encloses in shy, inevitably finds herself clinged with both, making Evans to re- thinking his invitation. While she might've been encircled in closer composer, she couldn't come up with the idea of leaving them, not when they are the only, she actually known mostly, for instance just now. Even though she's the maid of Earnhardt family doesn't necessarily means she's well matured, in fact she's presumably on her mid teens, and both siblings whom actually make her as same, are the only closest to her age. While Luri is definitely on her mid- twenties, this might've been the reason why, she wasn't bother by this and now relaxed herself fully on the couch of that same room.

" Now, come on guys, you're suffocating me... " This quickly startled xue, and she cornered herself, simultaneously pulling Silvia, who wasn't seems to in any position letting go off him. Another diverse friendly conquering conversations later which remained for quarter of times, Evans pointed on a prefaced query. Where are others? He was quiet aware and likely familiar in his manor, but for obvious reason he couldn't possibly remember that crossed years ago. So, for some odd reasons, he intended to up bring this very topic. Leading not only the elated atmosphere to grim but also causing lenient Luri's ears to strand in Poignant. Evans was well-aware what he was doing, yet this dubious expressions wasn't his expected areas that falls.

" Master headed to the " Primal colluvium Academy" This morning? Do you not remember and-"

Xue's words were halted with a single sign of desist, pointed to a demand of silence, and Silvia combine her words for Continuation. She placed her hands on Evans and slightly rubbing on his cheeks in disdain of helplessness,( she must've felt and willed to express, why couldn't you remember anything, but she only expressed through her wet, Belle pupils of hers) affecting Evans attention towards herself she said-

"Father been engaged himself in territorial dispute of northern sea- of pilass district ( near fathum peninsula) For days Along Henderson (Head- Butler of Earnhardt family) meanwhile Elder brother (Joachim) was supposed to be taking part with father, unfortunately a sudden letter of call by the "Colluvium Academy" forced him to depart, and now you've been burdened." There was no joy, even ounce of it while uttering, only remorse rather a deepen Morse of silence to ending part. As if she wasn't willingly to said it out loud. But for Evans he's unowned knowledge was "sheared" because of this up and forth of unknown lives he's been living. And he's with joy and appealing iris of child pointed and said where is Mother, then?

This wasn't something as dispersing quotes, it was stench of deviating Occurrence of reliefs, fear, summoned doted fragments of unrivalled valance, diverting chosen state to unimaginable end. But this caused Silvia to fixated on her shallow view, to seems as came as true, which wasn't the thing she believed or wished for it. She faded into a sate where her imagination are infinite, while slightly gazing in pain towards Evans. But couldn't resist his coruscating eyes. Her will was about on corner to give it all up. As young as she, one probably might've been. Nonetheless, she shifted her small body near him, which up until now was still presented there, but bit closer. She Expressed in deep dim tune.

" Why!! I mean why now, you wished for mother's presence, you do know how busy her schedule are? besides I'm sure you must be hungry, I will behest something for your appetite, why don't we talk about that?! Yes!! Your... Favourite dish Steam bun Bread from "Awalafom, estate of herds of shepherd," your request have finally been approved, right?!" She directed simultaneously while folding a gist of unconditional hesitated appearance with appealing, yet flustered expression towards Luri.

" Oh – yes, young master, I totally forgot to inform it's arrival. I'll make sure to compensate my mistake with delicious "Cream of peopen, from my hometown Peopenberg, which you were eagerly eyeing out for." She continued same act as Silvia but surprising to xue, it played out well because Evans mind which was now, suddenly changed to it's existing self after the sore pain of inclusive thoughts, abandoning pre existing memories.

" Uhhhh... I... I wasn't eyeing on your precious cream of peopen, which you tend to stored in your third closet of your allocated room, just behind your clothes." Kid Evans was about to defend himself, but unfortunately ended of making a fool out of it. Which lead Luri to play along more. She added-

" And how did you know that, young master?! I do not recall notifying you about my cream of peopen location in such precisely? Aww.. I wished if my cream supposed to be safe, I thought no one would notice, what am I supposed to do now? My treasure is in danger? Maybe I could asked for Mr cloid assistance. Uff." She portrayed in such a dramatic act that, little Evans couldn't comprehend all the overwhelming information, he found himself engaging in another foolish act, he declared in loud, authorized manner with such small and sooth voice.

" You don't have to fear, I Evans Aurelia Earnhardt, shall not let, our family name to doom over your cream, hu... Hu... Hu.." He tried to sound as tough as possible but couldn't achieve it. Following his act Luri submitted herself dramatically near Evans, who was now standing in that same bed, with his proud stance. He said-

" Do not fetch your dread, in the name of cream which was soft headedly beget by your family. I will protect with my life from those thieves, I will see it myself, who dares it? Ha... Ha.. Ha!!"

" Yes, young master, protect my cream, which is dear to me, dream of many but shall not pass through the keen eyes of Master Evans, all hail for master Evans," She continued her act but now she actually went over board which felt really awkward and idiocy to xue, she fused her eyes with same question, but Luri completely ignored and continues to enjoy.

This commotion surely lifted sorrows pond of wet eye's of Silvia and started to join on this foolish act, pulling shy Xue with her, all of the presence merged in this fantasy of Evans the hero, helping the poor, witted, baggy victims from crafty thieves :- The silver stain silent wizard of fall, with small princess of ruined kingdom. This act was performed along for long, bursting laug hs entire Earnhardt Mansion, which was also been heard by klois the maid and cloid who just came back after departing their task of importance.

Quilt nods of Waverly mutterance between Cloid and klois, fasten their presence by letting an imposing tread on that magnificent Steps. Both came dimlater because their original take was interrupted by different matters. Where reverted sunlit was sinking in between the steps.(Strangely on, similar edge of cloid left sight, an humongous Wall of Various coloured Glassed windows were enlisted just adjacent to platform. ( cotton stair runner) Crossing twisted implied images of reverence. Klois wondering with tendon of pressure, what was remain of the situation, she was well aware of that commotion just now between young lady Silvia and Sir Molagus wasn't pleas-able to very extend by maid on-board. This worried face was already acknowledged by Cloid but somehow he wasn't fazed by it. Perhaps he couldn't show it, after all that's what his work demands from him. Passing several lavished, rooms with same silverish golden patterns of twisted flowers. They approached to their destination with some fatigue on their cripple voice and dried sweat. She immediately glance over the same room she once was, it was different this time. Her wonder befall as soon as she saw all of them. Enabling in some sort of fantasy tale. She quickly offered her second visit to Silvia.

" I'm happy to see, young master finally found his cheerful smile, Now I also like to suggest My lady to take bath from Caluman Deer of charmer's milk. I cannot fathom my lady, how much she have suffered but at least you should remove you exhaustion-"

Another wave of pauseable hands seemingly followed by Silvia, simultaneously when both Xue and Luri found themselves in progressive, proper posture as soon as Klois visited there. Silvia removed herself from their suggesting same bath for Evans with some fragmented Supplies of flowers and herbs. And about to quickly follow Klois for some mitigating matters on hand. Which she intentionally wished to avoid or perhaps she didn't wished to leave her brother in this state. But series of gaze by summarizing sign for her presence by Klois left her no words of question and she left. In fact just before she heard about Evans accident her visit towards the unclosed matter was inevitable, him falling from the Steps was the dingus caused this delay. She commanded Cloid in influenced state of manner for Evans protection. Which caused unfazed Cloid to reprise his stance. Eventually Silvia removed herself along klois from that manor. Evans just frowned their seeing his sister departure. Did he remembered already what's going into his surrounding?

" Young master Evans, shall we have your bath now, whom you wished to bathe with? Me or our Xue, She humbly enlisted her words, causing not only Kid- Evans but also Xue to be shy in red.

" What are you talking about Luri? I'm already four and I can take care of myself? Which also means I can bathe on my own. You just have to prepare the bath, I will soon be there." By his voice and behaviour suggests he's still unaware of his situation.

" Hehhh....!? That's not fair? I don't wanna lose my bath, do you have nay idea young master how luxurious this is?! And we maids don't get this luxury often. The only way for me is to when I bathe you, and now you want to strip this opportunity from me?! How cruel of you?!" Another faze of dramatic expression bursting from Luri, Her actions was curiously question and befallen on thought, meanwhile Xue wasn't still came out of her shyness. Her cheeks were still Red.

" HMmmm, very well then! I'll allow it. I can't see my subject in such state-" Luri jumped upon agreement as soon as Evans ended his speech. While this was performing very dimly another presence whom Evans along with others were quite familiar with snuck upon them. Causally passing guarded entrance by Cloid. That presence quickly shelter in that room with huge smile and curious opportunity wished to be known, and said- "who is going to take bath with whom?!"

Twilit expression of scuffled Attire, Belik vacant fashion seems lacking not only her apparel but duds too. Seemingly eye capturing was her long Golden coloured earrings were just juggling, because of their own weight. Her hair were so short that in a glance none were to believe that she's a girl. Moment later her presence ran through out Evans room, all spectators visited herself once and moment later Kid-Evans, who's formerly preening his efforts before Luri shorten his visit next to her. She was just delighted as Evans but her queries weren't settled at all. Just before she faun of quest grasp there, Luri after witnessing a series later answered with another question upon it, while placing Evans on his bed again with gentle yet, sudden pull. She said while advising xue for Evans proper apparel with lavish Noble accounted presentations.

" . ...????! Nurxl!! Where were you?!! And what's with your attire? Where were you been? Tell.... Us- Tell young master Honestly. Hm?!" Luri expressed with familiar yet, quiet acquainted Expression as if she's used to it. Slowly biting her tongue with explaining manner The girl named Nurxl said-

".....what can I say....."

"Say it!!"

" Alright... Alright! Jeez....So...I was just playing with the kids. And....somehow I got ended up with this."

" Huh!! Is that all?!"

" Yes, exactly that's all.. Hehe!"

" LIES....! You think I couldn't find you're telling me such clear/ white lies. And it's straight up on my face. Huh!! What do you think you are? Are you a little kid! That you are playing with children, and how come your clothes-"

"Ehhh.... But I'm child you know Luri , aren't I xue sis?! What's even my age I'm just 3 years older than Evans, so how come he is been treated as child and I am not-"

" Because young master doesn't behave like you, he's fully suited to be called as Noble child. And don't try to dodge questions, you little brat, where exactly were you?!"

" Haven't I told you already Luri, playing-"

" Playing?!! With whom, Those slums children?! Weren't you?! When will you going to behave like mature?!" I'm exhausted by your repeated behaviour, if this were to continues even after lecturing. I'm seriously going to tell this to your mother! You hear me?" Luri was scolding Nurxl heavily but not in bad intentions. But when Nurxl hear about complaining to her mother she frowned there. Before she about to make any speech xue whom have already completed her task of insuring Evans apparel. She quickly grab Nurxl hands for neaten herself. Quickly heading towards room next door. While Luri now, suffered a bit of sigh.

When likely her anxious dimmed vision faced the ground, soft light hands on her apparel, clinging on her dress felt heavy, luri left for confirmation. Her face loosen in mercy towards Evans innocence face, he was making a face about to be told as he's in need for fare. Luri Swallowed her sigh and took him gracefully. While placing her one hand on his, and taking steps just befitting so that, Evans can matches her speed. Summarizing with each steps they took colourless aligned evocation stars to fall apart, milky blurred walls staring to prose on its own. And soon enough Evans looses the conversation what Luri's been placing, when he was enjoying in that Hall just before the steps up front. With this uncomfortable and question felt to be known, when he stood his subtle gazes. He witness mist around luri's face soon enough all on her body and finally he fell.

Yes, he fell slowly when his conscious and appearance starts to form gain. His surroundings been filled with same dusky mist in winter. A figure of luri's was still there, where he was diving on his back, Evans fell asleep if time allowed itself to shrink inner, making him to watch this, forcing him to feel this pressure of sudden fall and changes. Slowly his long hair out with from upward air pressure, gaining origin sight shorter appearance, and with another Thick clouds of mist he found himself falling in deep ocean out of nowhere, from one's perspective on certain land just beside ocean bank, He's been just materialize from thick layers of cloud on stormy weather, where the storm was just passed, slowly leaving space for light to overcome this gloomy world again. Reversely pulling forced and oppositely thrusting gust's of pressure, shifting Evans attire which they barely have any remained, because of very unknown reason he's black sticky clothes are still there but there was nothing of hiding part on his bare foot. Maybe because of such pressure of wind, hearing to anything was not possible. At the very least he's desire to save himself also seems to be lost, or perhaps his mind haven't able to comprehend the shock, or is it still his child conscious? None can be acknowledge now.

But that doesn't change the fact, a smooth concealable tune of flute was withering there. Cutting ocean splashes, through those gusting wind and even with the emergence sound from the ocean. Ground shivering along with unallied waves of ocean. Something was continuously gaining it's height. Forming encircled rivercane knows to once, shattering the heighted cliffs and on shore rock beds, The weeds inside it and life around. That entity gained a sudden growth up reaching the falling Evans. While hiding itself in that surrounding waters of circled shaped capable of drowning certain towns or ranges of mountains. This was also visited by the certain of whom's perspective was supported before, now his situation was much pellucid, that person was clearly stood with heavy blowing transparent attire of distant culture in black, through his black eyes beneath was also engraved with artificial glued of unrestrained imprint. Blue sored lips with body of white as similar of dead corpse. Pivot its engraving sight towards falling Evans without a flinch, even after such meagre mass, and convulse movements from that entity.

That entity of douse darted it's fangs for very intentions to Swallow Evans in its whirlpool, slightly forming as tornado of heavy white. At this time or before visit to meagre massed person. Evans profoundly gained his knowledge about surrounding but yet again just any other time he lied down in without resistance, and short later Douse being consumed him with unbearable roar. Simultaneously The "meagre massed" person just turned around with fasten and expressionless manner, Drastically enclosing in and beyond sight. While splattering water befalls when that entity loosen itself in obscure, forming a Crouse rain droplets.

**************************

"Why haven't you had your soup 'vice editor' {Miles}?!" Evans sees through reflection of soup in his table where chippering of not only his but other's presence was also felt there. He vividly visited towards that sound and found himself with Emma and Richard.

"Sheesh!" Apart from that words another was subsequently immobilized by Emma's expression, minimal of tension followed along curious eyes of Uplifted yet vague Articulation, when she was apparently supposed to use metal spoon for soup yet she's now biting with queries glance towards Evans. Same was can be said for Richard, He immediately responded-

" Something wrong?! Did you catch a cold? Haven't you've been taking hot bath?! Didn't he Emma?!"

" No— he did." continued even after the same stance placing her loosen elbow on the wooden dining table.

" Then?!" Richard shifted after supposed answer, towards Evans. Who was silenced after having sudden headache, as if he's really been caught cold. Yet now he could unseen Richards annoying glare in his very near face. Close enough that felt very difficult to see Emma upfront. While trying to push side or hiding his cough behind cotton towel he said-

" I suppose." Another triple placed of cough later.

" This is likely because of the bath I took, this morning. Didn't I told you it's too cold for me to take bath, you should have listen-"

" Your saying something Vice-President?"

" Now... Now put that raging spoon away from your hands and have some water, here?! That's not what Miles meant."

Before Evans now referred between miles and Evans couldn't even end his alleged complaints to Emma, her furious expression with annoyed face clearly showed signs of death, if he were to even proceed another utterance of words. While Quick response from Richard between them surely saved Miles. Now that Emma annoyed with actions of literally munching that soup with gritted teeth's, Miles took a breathe of relief and expressed a "Good–you handled it." To Richard and same expression was passed down "Somehow." While this was upbringing at that three spaced wooden table inside mace publisher. Cranking note of voice followed by mischievous man with slender yet bended deportment, quiet expressive of bones Beneath lump of flesh. Shook mace publisher's door. All attention found themselves a visitor to be noticed.

" Hay! You brats! what's up to ya'll are? Hehehe! An creepy smile followed just Beneath his words. More vaguely, unreadable tone with sored words. Unfitting loosed yet amusable apparel of yellow along Danish dark blue. But his face doesn't ringer towards his voice. A bulky cheeks with trimmed beard of past. Half-heartily closed his distance, simultaneously grabbing another wooden chair on his way and sat just opposite Richard. Making him between miles on left and Emma on corner right of eastern part.

Even though it's March and endow a sensation of warmth, yet Mr. Kulus haven't drop his woollen cloths, I guess he really dear that attire, huh! While this was all been walking around miles head, Mr kulus interrupted with his loud sneeze, He had just encumber his foot inside mace publisher but, what's with this? When Richard inquired Mr. Kulus Verbally known as "Kulus arthide" briefed, That he's just been caught by this damm cold in this warm weather, must've been because of changing climate, all seems including miles to be noticed that, it might've been exactly what happened to him also and he was ashamed to look over Emma's face, where she's been clearly aligning this statement. While exceptional for all of them, Mr. Kulus was pretty annoyed by his cold compared to miles, he's tone even dried out, compared to his usual days, he didn't specifically had any weighted voice, but still it was still unbearable. Emma who seems to quickly realized something assigning Richard for watching out Mr. Kulus ran over another room just behind her, while miles along Richard were trying to engage Mr. Kulus by offering the soup on the table and other talks. Richard said- "why don't you have this Hot soup, I'm sure it will help." One glance towards miles, "sure" Another minute of Mr. Kulus slurping the soup, that was exactly what's been there. He wasn't particular person seems to feel shy, uncomfortable. He was enjoying his meal, while miles was making an unappealing face of eating bald soup. Which was probably because of his cold, Richard understands by seeing expression, yet he couldn't speaks frankly as they were doing just before the arrival of Mr. Kulus, all their behaviour suddenly changed to sensible, even though miles who is in late teens same as Emma, only Richard was in Staring of his twenties ( 22) but they are felt really uncomfortable to use informal behaviour in front of Mr. Kulus, who is in his mid thirties (36) Even though his behaviour was rough, he was still elderly there; While this was performing Emma bought a heavy pot boiled in hot water along with a honey jar and some turmeric. Which shook Mr. Kulus appetite.

" Mr. Kulus, here have some of this." Confused glanced towards comfy Attitude of Emma, " Ah! Don't worry it's just, a natural remedy for Cold." Mr. Kulus wouldn't have tried this mixture of very unusual taste drink, but after placing the glass near his table, she continued the Same expression towards miles, only difference is that she didn't explain anything as Mr kulus, and miles didn't hesitate ounce. Richard was well aware that miles really have to hear a lot today, but that will probably at the evening. While he was visiting his visions of silent communication between both of them, he was also interrupted and insisted to drink. No matter what explanation, some was even sensible that he's not been affected by cold, he still couldn't able to ignore Emma's words. Not when she was constantly smiling in very strange manner than usual. Miles also shows signs that resistance was futile. This was not very out of character for Emma, not specifically when they are working. She return on her original accommodation after placing that wooden tray just beside Richard. Richard couldn't help but to ask Mr. Kulus for diversion of the atmosphere. While miles continuously with half-heartedly consuming, if proper words were to use then playing. Bit of flustered voice Richard said-

" uh..... Mr. Kulus, I heard your business been, holding a slowed placed lately?!" An appeal- able Approach was silently distorted by Mr. Kulus Awkward yet cold glance. While he was preferring his drink he said looking in distance.

" You got some sharp ears....there...huh! How'd you know?"

" hah.. Hah! Thanks for your appreciation, but I got my ways?!"

"ways?!!"

"You could say, pigeon on "Quarlin street" Speaks a lot. Hahuha?"

" . ..., Pigeon you say?" So what other things they mentioned?" Mr. Kulus surely had Richard appreciation for Intel collection, but wasn't aware that he had people on his own tail. Now he wishes really for how much of his business, rivals or partners knows? If so....how much of it's been rowed out in the market.

" Hah- hah! As I told you earlier, Mr. Kulus pigeon sure doodle, but surely even I couldn't understand them all, and surely I'm not the only one with ears. Specifically to be talking."

"..... Smuff" A smile only through pressed air released from Mr. Kulus, Cheeky bastard, That word only kept in his mind.

" Sure.... Sure! But people don't have such time for listening to doodling pigeon, only handful are capable of this. Am I right?!"

" Ha... I wonder that? But to be more precise why don't we talk openly what exactly you wished to be known, These cryptic language sure are hard to keep, not to mention my fellows aren't exactly following our conversation, Richard with pleas able words along grateful smile, directly his incompetence to follow Mr kulus words, simultaneously directing his concern of similar position towards miles, who seems to focused on the conversation with little information. While Emma on the other hand was calm, in fact now gracefully consuming her meals. This was a continuation from the moment of Mr kulus arrival.

Another smuff.... Smiled and he said- "What a surprising thing to say I can't imagine-" Another look on smiling of extreme, pleas able face lead towards Mr kulus to divert his words.

" As in fact, at this point should've been a common knowledge around the town, but not surely to the Quarlin street I presume, you must have-"

" I am aware of it." Cutting Mr. Kulus words, hardening his stance on the chair Richard pronounce.

"... "

" Sure you did- but do you really have any idea why this is happening-"

" Not to brag but what exactly is happening?!"

" We're reaching there miles, have some patience." Richard Awarded some relief on miles condition, just before Emma would loose her appetite.

" Now then, Where was I, yes-"

" Business!"

" I'm aware of that, besides me, only handful of 'em would really have knowledge about what exactly does "Earl Enornhl- Han wildnd" wishes for his Earldom."

( Earl Enornhl-Han wildnd's Entire 'Hanonk Earldom" in which Santarum city; a Religious hub of jubelian kingdom lies, Suburb here Quarlin street in which miles/ Evans and his friends reside, all those Thousands of militants under his command Awaits. A great Man, known for his word, some even referred A sage in disguise, He was the first if not the only one having similar situation as Second prince, The very first whom having willingly taken slave as their wives. Although 2nd prince wife is A great devotee to goddess umia, never abandoning the teaching of umia's , always upfront for helping in need, never been saw avoiding her duties, yet these doesn't specifically earned her place in Royal palace, not by the ones where, others below them seems as disgusting sore in eye, a pebble, rags. But still both Earl Enornhl never willingly wished a place for his loved to be in a state where, she have to suffer because of tradition, norms and ranks. But he can't just abandoned his duties as Earl, and to mitigate her beloved husband's burden, mostly "Lady- Huenwa lovendol" ( concubine) step down from the places and position where her presence been saw as wound on their tradition. But this duties are often replaced by Enornhl First or second queen, but for second prince, he doesn't have official or ceremonial queen yet. And this circumstances are just similar to "Madam Rupunhj sharolte" wife, vastly titled as 'Favoured Concubine of The second prince.' A Royal consort and consort of Earl isn't that much which differentiate them.)

(Although In jubelian kingdom there is even mentioned ranks among the concubine from lowest to highest in comparison to their influence in court matters and subjected for consultant:- Initially resuming from Attendant/ court maid, concubine/ lesser concubine, favoured concubine, Nobel concubine (typical because of Nobel born) , Royal consort, Honoured/ High concubine.)

After description of Earl Enornhl Very intention of providing if not abandoning very word of slaves because of his beloved concubine. All among Richard felt very denial experience. Which was quickly followed by Evans and unfazed by Emma. Still focused on her soup. A weak thought later he again assumed some assumptions and be let his queries-

" Is that the very reason, why Mr. Kulus been frustrated? What does the man with cuffed interested by his partner wished in this? I'm sure this very reason will help you with the sales of your remained slaves, as a winded gust for Lingered seeds, which refuses to start his journey. And easy mealy appetite for you? Wouldn't it?!"

" Haha...! I really thought highly of you, but sure you're still In your beads, you may have all time and potential for collecting Intel, but to make a prior judgment you still lack experience. Let me just clear this for you." Richard lazed in confusion highly making a face of dwelled by eyes and closely loosing his adapted hands in the dining table. While again Evans was just listening in interest and Emma remained on her soup.

" As surely it'll become a cash- cow for me. I have hundreds of slaves which I couldn't trade to the customers for various reasons, like their behaviour and potential restrained by their worth, but with this, it is bound to become smooth ride. Besides many are hunker downed from when Exactly this is going to be official and implements to general, But surely in short time. It's not going to take long, why would you ask, because This already been happening, yesterday only, I'm able to make a profit of 40 Gold coins by selling Lord " drouma reisrwts," ( Official Local Lord of the Santaruma city)

" Forty Gold coins?!!

" Don't ambushed yet, it's just the beginning. I Already got few hundred of order from " Zumeaolfe district." A greedy smile was washing Mr. Kulus face, but suddenly it loosened it's charm and lowered voice of feared manner, gathering not only his bended chest down, He also pushed Richard on his side and miles willingly went there leaving Emma alone.

" But... Sudden uproar root down havoc in managing the demands. Sure for some degrees I'm more than capable, if not still can manageable through my connection but what about after that. That's what's I'm feared here." But that's not even major part to be feared? The last sentence were only uttered in Mr Kulus thoughts.

" Surely you can- oh!" While Evans was about to spill some beans there then suddenly realized something important not to be told.

" Exactly what you're thinking boy! I cannot! In fact no-one can, after only few weeks none can able to fulfil the demand of the slaves. They were just expendables up to now, But after the implementation of New rules, none will. They are used for many purposes but most likely for labour. If the labour with one time investment are found easily with minimum expense, who in the right mind won't utilize it. not to mention one's their parents are slaves their children will too. Who wants to lose this opportunity, especially now."

" But doesn't the new rules meant to wipe slavery from jubelian kingdom?"

" yes miles that's the main idea supposed to be, but with second mitigation following the original rules should also be included." Only this time Richard vacant his presence of silence for some while, just to quarrel Miles query.

" second rule?!"

" Yes Miles my boy, That will specifically states that from now on-"

" . ..... Huh!"

Sighs "Let me make clear for you brat. Listen up then, This rule have to be in there, after the implementation, all the slavery system of purchasing and trading will be halted but mostly the one's already been can't, if they also went there, it'll be an uproar even among the nobles and lords. Specifically those shaded lights to this decision."

" How?!!"

" Because as I told you they are the ones who's been ordering the most from me?! Did you forgot already?"

" oh..."

" So, what they are doing is taking these useless or untrained slaves to make them as their own property and tax for ones property is less amount than any other sources huh? assuming them in their lands; just as cows and chicken. A convenient way."

"So they wished for them to be as like Property and one's doesn't have to pay for his own property to work for him. Bit of taxation will not be a heavy burden."

"Exactly!!"

" . . ... "

" I was confused why would nobles going to agree on Earl Enornhl proposal but after listening to your arguments I can even say why not?"

".... "

" I know miles boy, how this sounds but this is exactly how things are." Evans went on a thought of understanding this measure while Richard been completely out sourced his thoughts and when he was about to say his answers, Mr. Kulus stole his words and said-

" Yes Richard boy- illegal slavery!"

"Illegal slavery?!!" Series of following marks popped out as soon as they heard it. As if they were expecting. Thoroughly observing All the dull faces except the covered face for Emma, because she stood in such manner her all loosen hairs were practically blocking her view. Mr. Kulus finding a relevant postures of his, thoroughly making a last attempt to exposure his cards he uttered in wry smiled face with sweated appearance-

" This is exactly what y'all been thinking, you already may have idea but for refreshment I'll say once again of this. It is Prohibited for smuggling of unverified slave from inside Jubelian kingdom and," Closes his face more with dim voice, " some even suggesting ' outside of kingdom.'

" outside too, no wonder they won't let this chance slide."

" Those cheeky bastards, will never. They are the Hyenas, Always eager to await for their moment engulfing themselves upon patience, just to serve a right moment." While maintaining his position back together, and again retaining himself on that soup, which was barely even there to be existed. But these words aren't apposite to The man himself, how they says " People who have shielded their home with glasses, shouldn't taunt other of hitting stones on their windows." This all knowledge was well aware by both Evans and Richard, their eyes met only to re-collide pathetically for conscience of stupidity they felt after hearing this words from Mr. Kulus, Their resilience moved at corner when they watched Mr. Kulus cursing about the soup, that was supposedly fallen on his attire because of his clumsiness. They both felt ashamed, none the later minutes after when Mr. Kulus came back supposedly washing his clothes, he continued for a presumable acknowledgement of the movements around, while drying his hands on Miles towel.

" Now brats, what y'all think will happen? Let me hear your dumb-ass opinion too." He continued in amusing laugh on himself but stood almost immediately when he saw Emma's expression, where she gave tensed aura and quickly switched to both odd face of ewes bodies there.

"... "

Before Mr. Kulus were to explode after quarter of silence, which was in fact a results of Emma's unhinged manner. Richards with an attempt to settled both his and Mr. Kulus queries abruptly said-

" Far-away lands are in grave danger now....."

" . . ..."

" Now that the situations came to this, The trafficking will likely to outburst similar as overflowing water on dam. And if we were to include the Possibility, that the bandits will also highly going to take active place in this, it will be chaos on those regions." An understatement of fallen hopes along quaver Statement shook Richards face while continuing Mr Kulus quaere.

" Bandits....!! Oh... I see, you don't mean Richard-"

" Exactly," in a manner of thinking through lily Richard responded to miles own assumption of believe able answer." We might also have to include that these lands don't actually have such power and capabilities enough to overcome. Which will eventually going to overturn the whole Earldom of Hanonk..... Government."

"And...!!!"

"There is no and...., in this Mr. Kulus just assume that, this slavery was proposed to existence because resolving various problems that may have befitted at those periods, Handling the criminals, Those who are unable to pay their debts, and specifically just as you mentioned before The overall lineage of slaves in the family."

" I'm well aware of that Miles boy, what I am asking is that what or which way I can outsource my profit to best, specifically in a times like these." holler language spoken there, causing a way of Awed expression of Miles who was about to make his first attempt to engage on this conversation of high, with his point.

" Just as Miles said- Mr. Kulus there aren't any 'and' here, just run down of riots."

" Now, how the hell Riots came in here? Who cares to riots in Jubelian kingdom?!" confused Mr. Kulus outcry.

" North-western Region of voince." This name not only startled The bodies highly participated in this conversation but also who has been silenced for long enough to gulp up her last soup.

" No- This will not be a working case in here, surely it will not, right?!! you've just mentioned that chaos will spread for far-away regions, but "voinc" is just passed quarter kilometres from here." Again (Miles) seems to catch up later compared to both Richard and Emma, he was right on his own judgment. He just faced another part of this slaveries consequences, which is just a tip of the iceberg of problems that seems to be unravelled.

"....."

When Mr. Kulus never ending queries were resulted in just rest from deep silence, he turned onto himself and said- " sighs, so that's how it huh, can we now finally able to concluded this matter as intentional then?" Mr. Kulus found another question for them to discuss.

" Cannot say it's intentional-"

" Now Richard boy don't be like that, huh you seriously think this is not intended, like even if the rules were able to implement without much tension nothing going to happen. Are you going to say this will not going to start a quarrel between 'four alliance power', central government and Noble Lords, Wasn't, Th-the riots you just said. How can you say that? Are you hoping for me to believe this is all coincidental?! A perpetual concoct fate? Huh! Tell- me now, just tell-"

" I am hoping another tragic revolution, which fanged it's wound 100 years ago is not the answer, I'm not willing for another years of bloodshed!!!" Intense possible way Richard confessed his way of thinking, particularly everything.... That's been idealized as things that will going to be ok, serially Miles comforted Richard and Emma now took the lead of the conversation with a heavy slammed book of about the "new empire" Which took place Twenty- years ago. While tying her hair with blue braided Ribbon.

Attended personnel there aren't particularly had such leverage to pull thoughts on the book because how heavy they were engaged in emotionally charged Richard. But soon after with little the interest, they moved onto Emma's prefectural state. " I'm sure perhaps Mr kulus here's the one who have the most prominent knowledge about this matter, better than any one of us." An unfortunate appearance brought to light on Mr kulus. He pushed -mushed and brushed off his unparalleled face and continued to Glazing eyes. Her stance was interrogative, labelled twin hands on table while forming at the vertical corner of the dinner, gleamed back by shining glass windows of high.

"... "

Smirk felled and followed Emma, " This book date back to founding year (F.Y) 1689.

This particular subtle were enough for Mr. kulus to found himself on similar situation as just before, which was fused with amused appearance on Emma, she Continued while closely shifting pages of that book, In fact Book on itself doesn't seems contained much, exception being as such; ancient oiled framed, crabbed painting as almost drawn in for solely purpose of visualizing without another sentence or paragraph in it.

"This is the only one of the few books that existed to this very day, and if Mr kulus have any reason for why do we have it? then you just said it earlier didn't you? We are very good at collecting Intel, But for your sake I'll clear this up, where we got this particular one from." Evans gave an almost negative eyes while calming Richards, now who wasn't in that state which he was just moment before, He was just looking down at corner table listening to Emma without a look forming a gritted state. But miles Commands were again disarmed by Emma in a very sly smile and finally revealed-

" St. Therdfoth Academy" But this time Mr kulus wasn't surprised, he just let his ineffable voice on quotient of silence. Miles was disappointed but he was very used to it. And Emma on the other hand wasn't acting out of Character, this was in fact the actual Emma. Moment ago she was just annoyed but now she's up to something. What is it? That's the similar thoughts were grounding miles too. Mr kulus who now have distress to analogue just followed Emma's words without appearing out.

" As that same Therdfoth Academy, Which is famous for preserving Historical information. Did it ring some bells?" She lightly pounds for remembrance to Mr. Kulus beforehand, he could sound exactly same for any chances of neglecting the ware about of such place. The look on his face was thing to be looked upon, but now his way of escape was also seemed stolen, but he again remained silent, Which lead Emma for another amusing smile and pushed on that matter further and she said-

"As I mentioned it dates backed to 1600s, A date seems quite ancient. Ain't it?! At least for some of us. But that's not what's interesting there is? This picture what they portrait that is. For me I just have to decipher this painting for days to get that exact picture, and many of us those who were born after New empire rule will probably going to take same, but for people like Mr kulus, it would be walk in the park, isn't that right?"

"... What are you implying to? And why In that manner as if this is illegal? Everyone knows Jubelian kingdom tends to Revisit it's historical data and to be more accurate they tend to remove the unnecessary-"

" Eradicate....., The word you're looking."

"That's...."

" come on Mr kulus, we're you're own people, aren't we? Why hide with us?, you needn't have to do this? We aren't the children's of "Delight orphanage" you know. Where father "Numan bard" feed most with lies"

" Sighs, Ok eradicate, Happy!? I don't see what's it have to do with the matter we were discussing in fact, my judgment was right all along, We were be Wilder, when Richard boy Loosed- no offense here." Mr kulus grasping his moment later attended appearance revisited to the very point when he was pressuring Richard.

" Have some patience Mr kulus, my god! " Sighs," I'm almost to the point. "

"Emma is right Mr kulus, there is something to do with the matter." You do remember why southern Region of voince. How it came to this state right?"

" of course, I was there, you weren't even born at that time, don't try to educate me, miles boy."

" very well then-"

" The sole reason behind is properly listed in this book! Look!" Emma again directed Miles words.

" So?!"

" Just let me, will y'all?!"

" I wasn't the one speaking?! Miles tried to defend but another annoyed gaze was enough, while Mr kulus hide behind Emma's gaze. Probably he was the one pointed that " so" in the end. Miles looked in pissed manner toward Mr kulus, who lifted that owned idea as if he wasn't involved in this, prioritizing a whistle over miles gaze and found himself on his familiar place.

Emma pointed to next page of that painted book and said- "it's here the second page of this book, see! It portrayed Current king and very peculiar unfamiliar face that we sure can't remember it but you do very well don't you? And also Queen Maria ark-van Jubelian. All having a peace of time in the garden, "

"It also serves, with a peculiar song, poem perhaps– The song been presented as ' The arc of inevitable lives of three quarrel down, wished to be in ethereal lake was stoked out, fire or rage be-lifted the wrangle of jewel, served as a apothecary that lead diminish of chronicle and faded it's consequences in loop,' "This sounds gullible but that's not very important because the portrait speaks like the twining Violin of present... Showing As if they'd very close relationship, I recognized two but who is this third person, I wonder?!"

She looked towards Mr kulus- "Did you noticed?! They all look green (young) , it was hard to differentiate you know? Care to explain this image Mr kulus?" Now Mr kulus did Summoned near That book, and his wry faced tried to explain very much on it, excluding Known people only the third one which was interested by all, he said- " He is "jabor Aluds Raiueben" Voince prince. " This information wasn't a very new to any of them, which was quickly realized by Spoken ones and refrained to the portrait. And if I remember correctly It was made by " Alusis ribbonhon" The renowned Painter of our era, I was very young at that time, My father took me for the exhibition when they decided to show public about this, What a tragedy? We have to wait hours in line just for glance, and now it's a forgotten piece. Rotting in some book never supposed to open for its admiration, huh!" Alas " I cannot say the exact but...."

"But?!!"

"..... Do you brats know why Queen Maria ark-van Jubelian doesn't live in Capital City of jubelian?! And her unhinged almost disappearance status from main court, even though. We always heard she's the one who managed all, where the previous king left unannounced and kept all the power intact? Forget that! have you ever saw her?!"

" once!"

" Where miles boy!?"

" A portrait especially carved with Limestone."

" Uh! Oh...."

" Mr kulus is referring an actual appearance to public, Vice editor?"

".... "

" Never mind, lend me your ears a bit, There is a very interesting Tale behind it? might've knowns this too, don't you?" Mr. kulus confronted for Emma's approval which was surely a hit. Regarding this matter is also adjoined by Richard exception was miles, he's assumed hint before was somehow dim in between. But he's query was resolved by a relief of nod by Emma, as if she's about to say, let Him speak, I'll explain it to you later on.

" The one truth we, the generation before you followed was, it was a tragic end for Queen Maria ark-van Jubelian., even after her efforts, sacrifices guided to frail mulch. She...." Lowering the tone almost to none. "She- became the prey of her responsibility, The details aren't opaque but I still sum the most. Voince prince was friends with current Jubelian king from his Academicals period, And Queen Began to develop fondness toward voince prince, without an awareness of jubelian king, This surely came to in broad light, which felt betrayal because she was already engaged with current Jubelian king, if my memories serves right after that an announcement to rage war was inevitable, but to over look the prince's mistake people of majority including nobility and royalty betrayed Voince prince for fearing King's ancestral carcus and Edward fanz ark-van Jubelian. So eventually just day before battle where almost every preparation for war was made, The people of voince prince's presented a gift before jubelian king, which was " Severed head and stray body" of voince prince, in hopes for mercy but instead wrath fallen upon Voince. Many including nobility of Jubelian felt this was a insult to their pride and slaughter all the people related to that treachery, and people were oppressed because Jubelian kingdom refused to acknowledge such subjects as their own, to this day, they were mocked how could one can betray own Royalty for saving their own skin, where's pride in there, this is the very reason why management of the voince is almost ignored to null, to out in sight, it's worse than barren lands, Nowadays Voince is specifically filled with creatures of undesired, mercenaries, bandits and criminal gangs reside their the most, also the administration is worse than those criminals always oppressing because they are well aware that, plead will not be answered by the central government." This all hit miles like thousands of arrows.

" Because of this Queen was out-casted from court and placed in rural "mansion of melaiden" to this very day. I think this might've Also the reason why First princess is from Second Queen."

" That's just my own assumption it wasn't stated anywhere.".... Every looked very undesired and shameful manner at the end. "

" What?!! That's-"

" Enough Mr. kulus," Emma lifted her position and placed near miles. Who was having confronting battles in his head, because this information was slightly overshadowed his vision, some assumptions were very clear when he pointed Mr kulus about the riots, but entire pages weren't flipped at that time. Emma was well aware of this situation but she didn't spoke much, she just casually lifted the desolate bowl front his face, along with Richards and Mr. kulus and headed toward door next. This left Mr kulus hanged on his words but Richard and miles were having their mind engaged on, That made Mr kulus to switch different perspective while hitting a slight on the table from frustration, but quickly glance towards room, where Emma just entered for confirmation that she didn't heard that one.

"... "

Until Emma returned after her chores, the abode was dull, Exasperation Fuelled Mr kulus continuously itching his hands with heavy and portion of breath, Richard with now an almost negligible presence and Evans with similar state of manner Resided there. Emma would've already predicted before she entered the room. Maybe this is the reason why she left, This is the reason what she felt , This is the reason why she thought, This conversation needs to be halted for moment of break. Who knows? Before they fully managed to grasp the situation of that place, Emma summarized what's exactly Mr kulus situation was, why would people who have bare minimum right just worse than slaves won't be saved even by central government, and for smuggling it wouldn't be any difficult except border security, if one can get pass by that, it will be easy as breathing air. And the fact that, "Voince" past will heavily toll against their own people, it will cause an uproar among populace, no matter how weak one can be, if the threshold tore apart even the disgusted worms will try to make it out, no matter the consequences? Even some sacrifice wouldn't be. Once this taste of freedom rolled into the air, their won't be time to react, won't be far for raging revolution, one might think it's completely unorthodox but the mass been always crushed entire, even greater civilization throughout the history.

And the fact that slave merchants like Mr kulus will heavily fulfil this Redundant behest and earn their way out, but the problem will not going to stop there, Rule to provide right will indefinitely sprung to central, somehow it's still makes as contraband. claiming that given a slaves, rights means in possible way one will take over their own position, even some will try to wield the throne using means we nor known. Claims such as prostitutes, criminals will one day be here making laws, judging among them, will utterly be disgusted, the lower cast blood will wish that? What a interesting plan? Whose playing like this? ( While thinking about this, Emma's face was almost null, only twisted nerves on her forehead was visible, she was interested, because of her current profession but wasn't amused by any of it, as she was before when showing the book) She again thought- Is this all, or there are other I can't see? Must've been other variables too, I must- But before her thoughts were about to aligned prepositionally entrance was ruled over by familiar voices, it's was not just one presence which Emma could hide, it was two, one of them broke the silence in that room and said-

" Why is it so quiet today? Did we came early?!"

" No... I don't think so.. "

" Then how come, no ones here, today is supposed to be a day off or what?!"

" Day off, huh? No it can't be, you do realize Editor won't do anything without prior notice, don't you? but If it's really what you're sayin' than I'm going to rock this day with my boyfriend. Hehe!"

" Nah.... Seriously again?! Without me Merry, you have really abandoned me, from the time you got your boyfriend. "

" of course, why wouldn't I-? Everybody do, And sheesh, stop with the dramatic tantrum, I am clearly familiar with your habits "cresfe." You should realize at this point. Stop this.... Already ok!?"

" Look... Look, what a world we live in, oh god! now I couldn't even complain about some nobody, who came just by stole my best friend, Alas"

" Yeh.... Yeh, whatever! Stop now already, search around if others are still here or not, I have to clean before anyone comes, and close the door, will ya!? It's not exactly time for opening, but it won't hurt."

" Hufff, why not? Now I have to follow everything you say."

" Oh my god, just do it already, I will bring mop for cleaning? Sheesh this girl! And people say I'm the one who's dramatic, somebody look at her! Sighs! Where are the mops, it should've been just beside the door-"

" Here!! Your mop, Sighs." Emma closely coming towards Merry, from the door just to their left inside that manor. " I had place them for soaking behind, and what's with your arrival, aren't you a bit early-?"

" What nonsense are you talking, Emma? It's just usual time?10 minutes prior before opening?" Emma felt sure that it shouldn't have pass any time more than 30 minutes or so, but she realized that both "Merry and cresfe" been coming little quicker than their usual, because of the construction that's been going around. To be more precise, an increment of that tiny manor for various employees been scheduled, because of this very reason, Miles and Emma were living in tiny inn, especially designed to accommodate people who are self sufficient. Only Richards been residing there.
