Miriana's POV,
OH NO...I GOT LOST IN MY THOUGHTS AGAIN!!!!!!
" I..am sleepy...I...I am so sleepy *yawn...*...so sleepy." I said to The Duchess while closing my eyes a little.
I also yawned in the middle of my speech. They should understand that I am really sleepy. I can't answer them, if they ask any question about the past. Please....please...think that I am sleepy....
"Then you should go to bed now. However, don't forget to wake up early. Tomorrow is The Princess Tea Party.", said The Duchess while patting my head. Then she nudged the Duke's elbow .
The Duke coughed a little.Why is he coughing suddenly?? Is he sick??
" Good night and have sweet dreams. You tend to sleep without the blanket ,so cover yourself with blanket properly . I know you don't get cold easily, but better be safe then sorry " said the Duke while patting my head too.
He's looking at me , but he's thinking about something else . Somehow his eyes seems to carry guilt or is it sorrow.
I don't know . Hmm. Well...whatever . He's nice. Then was it just Miriana's stupidity? I don't know . Let''s just wait and watch. It's not like I know everything . I should really go to that '''Tiger Guild''' tomorrow. *SIGH...*
"What happened?" They both asked at same time.
"Nothing " I replied . Then The Duchess and The Duke left my room. Ok.....it's time to sleep...
Hmmm... Forget everything. Let's take a deep breath . I might see "HIM" in my dream. Yeah...I might see....
"...."
LET'S JUST GO TO SLEEP...

" My lady...wake up..My lady.."
Huh...who's calling ?? I...
"My..lady....."
I opened my eyes, and saw it was Tina. Fortunately .....she called me...That dream.... I sat up while rubbing my eyes...
Tina looked with me worried eyes and said" My lady...you were..trembling in your sleep. So I...was really worried..so.."
"Thanks to you,I am alive.I didn't get eaten by the ghost.Haha...Thank you very much." , I said to Tina while holding her hand.
" Then we should start , my lady." , said Tina excitedly.
"Start what??", I asked Tina with a confused look.
"Stat getting ready , Of course. " ,said Tina with more excitement .
"...."
" What ? It's still dark outside. The tea party won't start now. Let the birds wake up then we'll start . I specially like the birds chirping. So ....."
"The other noble ladies already started their preparation, my lady ." She said to me while lifting the blanket and folding it in seconds.
She suddenly looked at as if she realized something and said , " Forgive me , my lady . I shouldn't have speak while you were talking."
"It's alright. So should we start ?" I asked her.
"Yes , my lady . I will surely make you the most gorgeous and elegant lady . Everyone will be awed by your beauty . "
Why is she so excited??? Isn't it only about wearing a dress and doing some makeup.....
Or maybe not.

"Miriana...what are you thinking so deeply?? Are you feeling unwell??" ,asked Kiana worriedly.
"HUH?!!!" I looked at my surroundings closely. This isn't my room. This ...this..
"We are inside the carriage!!!!!!!! " I was really surprised. I thought I am still stuck in my room. No....that was more like a tor....
" Why does this dress have so many layers??Is it really necessary ? I can't even breath properly. What about elder sister ? Isn't it really warm right now?I already started to sweat!!!!" I said to Kiana.
" It's manageable. " Kiana replied with a smiling face.
Say it more convincingly. You're clearly sweating too.
"Hey stupid, Did you find that small red bottle ?? It's really really important . Did you find it or not ? Why aren't you replying ?", asked Kilian while squinting his eyes.
"..."
I don't want to answer him. I looked outside of the Carriage. The outside....looks..*sigh*..
"Hey Kiana, search Miriana's body.", said Kilian from the side. Anyone can tell he was ordering Kiana. Seriously this guy...forget it.
"I didn't find anything like that." I told Kilian while looking at outside. As if I searched in the first place. Heh.
" I don't believe you . Kiana search Miriana's body. She not only will get herself killed, but also going to get us killed too." said Kilian while looking at me with disapproving eyes with his hands crossed.
I hurriedly looked at Kilian and asked,"Are you insane?? Have gone senile? Or were you just simply born like that ? "
Kilian looked at me like I was some stupid. Alright...THIS IS IT....I AM GOING TO....
"When Miriana was getting dressed , I told her maids to not let any red bottle stay near Miriana's dress. They told me there won't be any red bottle. Miriana's pouch only have a handkerchief , a perfume bottle and some gold coins.", said Kiana in one breath.
Kilian was surprised by Kiana's speech. Suddenly his eyes got big and he started to say loudly,"WHAT?????WHY DID YOU TELL THOSE MAID'S ABOUT .....ouch.... You...Miriana, are you crazy??."
"Do you want another punch??Hmm??", I asked Kilian while showing my fist to him. He silently glared at me. Whatever.
Umm...Finally peace. Yeah I punched him. My hand hurts a little. His skull is really hard.
"I am sorry Kilian. I just.. thought it would be good if I told those maid's about the small red bottle. But , don't worry. I didn't tell them that the small red bottle was actually a p*ison bottle. ", said Kiana with her innocent eyes.
A p*ison bottle??? Small red bottle of p*ison???POISON?????POI....
I looked at Kilian and saw he was also looking at me. He looks like he didn't expect this to happen. Why isn't he saying anything?? Shouldn't he explain?? Or is he thinking of getting away from this situation??
"Hey, say something. I am waiting patiently. You better explain this red bottle to me now. What p*ison ? Or else don't blame me for the consequences ", I told him while showing my fist.
Kilian was silent for a moment. He thought about something and said,"Do you think I would get scared by this?? I can also punch you. I...I will.."
I took a deep breath. What am I doing ? Why am I wasting my time with him. Obviously this monkey doesn't know what common sense is?
I gestured him to stop talking. Then I looked at Kiana and asked her," Big sister, could you please explain. I am all ear . "
"Ah....ah...tha...I...." Kiana was stuttering then fidgeting. After that she looked down. Finally she looked up. Then again she looked down.
"If both of you behave like this then what am I supposed to do ? I am not close to anyone in this world except YOU AND THAT MONKEY . I just want to know about that red bottle . Why isn't any of you are cooperating with me . What's the problem .", I asked them with an annoyed voice.
But they just silently looked down. I thought about their past behaviours . Hmm...they looked worried, when they couldn't find the red bottle in my room. On top of that Miriana in the novel....Ah...
" Don't tell me Miriana in the novel died drinking that p*ison!!!!!! Ah.....that's why you guys are like this. Now I get it. " I said to them while nodding my head.
Miriana in the novel thought she wasn't the real daughter of the Adelmund Family. Kilian told me Miriana in the novel di*d in a carriage accident. However, Miriana actually d*ed by drinking p*ison. Kiana also insisted that I am Miriana. So they thought I might drink...
"Seriously...you guys could have just say it. I promise, I won't do something like that." , I said to Kilian and Kiana Smilingly.
No one ever cared for me like this. Is this what they call SIBLINGS LOVE. Hehehe.....
They went silent. They didn't say anything. Oh...they must be feeling shy....I hugged Kiana and said ," Big sister , you are the best."
I looked outside and saw the carriage was passing by a gate. I went close to the window and saw some Knights standing beside the gate.
Kilian and Kiana also came near the window. I think we entered the Royal Place!!!!!!
Kilian looked for a moment then he said, "Just go and have a little tea. Then come back quietly. Don't talk to anyone there. "
"Huh?? But we should at least say hi to others ,right? Or else it would be too rude, right?", I asked Kilian seriously.
Why is he like this suddenly? What kind of advice is that?? If we just do as Kilian says, then we won't make any friends.
Kilian took a deep breath and said,"Miriana in the novel doesn't have any friends, because she stayed in the north until she came of age. And other lady tends to ignore Kiana, because she grew up in the countryside."
What??? A Duke's daughter doesn't have any friends????
"Not even a fake friend????" , I asked Kilian doubtedly .
Kilian looked at like I asked something stupid.
"It's true, Miriana." , said Kiana while looking down.
"Oh...Alright...So what is came of age??" How old does that mean??" , I asked Kilian.
He said ," Girls and Boys come of age , When they become 17 years old. Right now you are 19 years old. And Kiana is 21 years old. I am also 21."
Miriana stayed in the north until she came of age. So she stayed in the north till she was 17. Then she came back here, to her parents. So , it's already 2 years and she couldn'tmake any friends???
" Why didn't Miriana became friends with anyone in this 2 years??" I asked Kilian again.
"Ah...that.....th...You just didn't because you didn't wanted to ." , Kilian said while scratching his Head .
"That's not a ..."
"We arrived. Let's go...let's go. " , said Kilian while cutting me off. He hurriedly opened the Carriage door and got down quickly.
"....."
Kilian helped Me and Kiana to get down from the carriage. Then he again reminded us to silently go and to silently come back.
Wait a second...don't tell me I am a loner in this world!!!!!!!!
