Miriana's POV ,
Why is that woman biting her lips like that ?
Suddenly I locked eyes with her. She directly looked away. This woman is sus, really sus.
"So it's your fault, Kilian. Not only you badmouthed Miriana, you also fought with Kiana and made her cry. " said the the red haired man while calming the pink haired woman by his side.
I looked at Kilian to see his reaction. I thought he would be like 'I didn't do anything. They are in the fault.' But this guy was busy squinting eyes towards me.
"....."
I am speechless. What's wrong with this dude's eyes? Why is squinting his eyes towards me?? Why me??
Kilian took a deep deep breath and said, "Father, I didn't meant to make Kiana cry.. I just wanted t.."
"You deserve punishment. You are going to run 100 laps around the training ground. Then you are also going to spend half of your allowances on Miriana and Kiana." ,said the red haired man while cutting off Kilian. He looked angrily at Kilian. Like Kilian did something he shouldn't have done at all.
After that Kilian just agreed with father and left that room. But he didn't forgot to glare at me before leaving. Was he glaring at me?
Nah...he was probably squinting his eyes towards me again.
"Miriana, why don't you go to a outing with Kiana tomorrow?" , asked the pink haired woman to me. Her voice was really so soothing. Should I just nod or should I say 'all r mother' or should I just say no. I saw that pink haired woman looking at me cautiously. Is she afraid that i might say no to her suggestion.
"....."
I felt a earnest gaze from the side. When I looked over, I saw Kiana looking at me like 'PLEASE SAY YES, PLEASE'
I just sighed and said, " Alright mother."
"That's great",said the pink haired woman joyfully. Then she ordered the butler to arrange a carriage for me and Kiana.
Huh??The butler was also standing behind them?? How did everyone ended up coming to Kiana's room?? Did they quickly come to Kiana's room knowing that Kilian would fight with Kiana? But the 4 of them came together here just like that? Is it just a coincidence?or....
"I am so happy. We are going to a outing together tomorrow." , said Kiana while hugging me .
I looked at the door and saw everyone was already gone. They are fast!!! Well everyone is busy with their work.
Kiana started talking about what she will do tomorrow on our outing . Earlier Kilian called that red haired man father. So that guy is my father too ,right? And that pink haired woman is my mother?
"..."
I looked at Kiana and asked," What is our parents name?"
Kiana looked at me with a confused look. She looks so cute !!!!!!!!! I wanted to ask if our parents are rich? But that would be a dumb question. Thinking about my room and Kiana's room , also that dining hall including everything I passed by screams that our parents are rich. Again this fine clothes!!!!!!!
" You are testing my memory, right? But I remember everything. Hehehe... " , said Kiana while giving the most cutest smile ever."Father's name is Cassian De Adelmund. Mother's name is Margaret De Adelmund."
That sounds quite noble. Are we royalty by any chance? " Is father a Prince or a King?" I asked Kiana looking her in the eye.
" Father is currently a Grand Duke of this Everett Kingdom. And Mother is his Duchess. Although father was adopted by the royal family, but they didn't give a royal title to father. The royal family only trained father to be a war maniac. After father became a sword master at the age of 14, he was sent to battlefield by the Royal family. He was at the battlefield until he met our mother." , said Kiana while fiddling with her hands. Then she looked at me like she needs some time to remember other things. I resured her with my expression. She gave a sigh of relief.
Then after some time of thinking, she said, " Mother was a princess of ROSEMARY KINGDOM. The King wanted to acquire that kingdom, because that kingdom has many kinds of rose growing naturally. Acquiring that Kingdom means Everett kingdom will have free access to those roses."
"There are two kinds of vassal kingdoms. One is a friendly vassal kingdom and the other one is a ...vassal kingdom only in name but actually is a slave to Everett Kingdom."
"When father met mother for the first time, he fell in love with her at first sight. But father didn't had the courage to peruse a beautiful princess just like that. Fortunately mother also fell for father. Or else we wouldn't be here today."
"But mother's family wanted her to marry THE KING of Everett Kingdom. However mother loved father too much. So she just cut ties with her own family cause they opposed mother and father's marriage. After that mother came to this kingdom with father and with THE KING's permission they got married. "
"And...and...yeah The royal family will soon send Kilian to the battlefield too. So father and mother is working hard to prevent that from happening. " said Kiana while looking at me earnestly again.
Is she asking for a praise ?? Well she did give me many information in one go. And I also learned many history.
" WOW BIG SISTER, YOU REMEMBER EVERYTHING. That's so great. You really are a genius.", I said to Kiana while looking at her with glistening eyes. I gave her a thumbs up.
She was so happy to hear my praise that she was grinning ear to ear.
" Umm...so...what about the crown prince?" , I asked Kiana cautiously.
" The crown prince? What about him?" , asked Kiana again with a confused look.
OK I already know many information about this body owner. Let's not probe into that crown prince that much. It will look too suspicious then. And Kilian said before that I didn't love the crown prince. So I don't think the crown prince has anything to do with me.
"Nothing..nothing. What I was saying is that I should probably go back to sleep. " after saying that I started to walk towards the door.
"What about dinner?" ,asked Kiana from behind.
Huh...dinner??What dinner?? Now that I think about after having lunch I went back to my room. After that someone knocked me out. And I woke up now. So it's dinner time. I was unconscious for so long, and everyone thought I was sleeping.
Great, I needed something to boost my energy. After all I am going to search for that unknown person who knocked me out that time. I have a suspect in mind but ....
I looked back at Kiana and said ," Of course, I am having dinner. " Kiana was happy hearing my answer. She was this happy just because I said I am having dinner. Was the body owner a muddy person??
I gave her a smile before I started to walk towards the door again. But I stopped in the middle and again looked back at Kiana.
I said with a firm voice, "Big sister, I am not sorry at all about the dress measurement incident. Cause I purposely didn't miss our meeting. After lunch when I went back to my room, someone knocked me out. Yeah , I know, it sounds a little unbelievable....but ... I.. "
" I believe you. I believe everything you say, Miriana. So don't ignore me anymore, okay?" said Kiana while holding my hand. She was looking at me cautiously. Like I might flare up at any moment.
Buf when did she come so close to me? Wasn't she standing beside that bed? And I am standing near the door. That's quite a distance, right? She said something about ignoring. So the body owner ignored Kiana. But why? If I ask , it would be too suspicious, right?
So I only said,"Hmm." and went back to my room.This time I didn't need anyone's help finding my room. Cause I remember the direction. After all I am a genius scientist. Remembering something like this is a piece of cake to me. But I tend to forget useless stuff all the time.
There is so many things I want to know. I can't just go around asking people some weird questions. That would be weird and suspicious. I have to find a reliable source for more information. I also have to find out where did the body owner's soul go.
________________________________________
I was walking around my room. I came back from the dining hall a few minutes ago. The dinner was really lavish and delicious.
But ....there was something...wrong with the atmosphere. Everyone was talking so cautiously with me. I thought everything was normal between this body owner and this family. But something just doesn't add up. Why are they so cautious around me. Was the body owner a k*ller or something.
I finally went inside my room. I felt something amiss but i just ignored the feeling and closed the door. Then I turned back and I was walking towards the bed.
I am sure about one thing and that is this body owner wasn't really close with her family members. But her family members cared about her. For example Kiana...
< knock knock knock knock>
"...."
Who came at this hour? Is it that person who knocked out me earlier? But why would that person come to me on their own?
I asked who but there was no response. So I went back to stroll again. There was again a knock so I opened that door. After opening the door, I saw that stern looking woman and Alice was standing there.
When the door opened, they just came in like it was something common. At least ask for permission dude!!!!
"Close the door. What are you waiting for?" ,said the stern looking woman while glaring at me.
HUH...WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?
They just came inside...
