"Young Master" Someone grabbed Tala from behind and with that she was caught but at the same time the people who had found Tala seemed to gasp in surprise at the kid's existence.
Taking Tala and the kid along to a carriage the same man in a suit earlier introduced himself as her butler. He talks a lot not just long sentences but also he talks with a very deep vocabulary that Tala felt her nose bleed trying to comprehend what he was talking about.
In the end Tala decided to just nod her head and make a sad face after the butlers chatter, he gave Tala a piece of candy that tastes so heavenly with its sweetness.
When they got to the house Tala sat down next to Essia, she said to Tala that she's a kid of a well known family and when Tala asked Essia what's the name of Essia's family she didn't say anything.
'She's a liar' Tala thought to herself this kid must be delirious that she thought she was a noble's kid.
"I'm not lying" Essia said to her, probably noticing the look Tala had on her face.
"I'm..seriously I didn't know if i could even return home" Essia placed her hand on Tala's hand, "Thank you really"
"I swear i would always remember your help" Essia swore and Tala only sat there at the bed with a blank expression.
"Well this escalated quickly" Tala scratched the back of her head.
"Also, this place has the crest of a oak tree which is strange because Viscount Vibar doesn't have a daughter"
Tala tilted her head, "Who's Viscount Vibar?"
"The owner of this mansion" Essia answered, "You see the crest of an oak tree in the windows and literally everywhere in this house? It means that the owner of the crest relate to a noble family"
"So Vibak has the shape of an oak tree." Tala said.
"Vibar" Essia corrected, "It's Vibar"
"Vibar, Vibak who cares." Tala threw her hands up in the air huddling next to Essia who was sitting down on the bed, her body sinking down to the mattress which is very fluffy by the way, "So Essia why are you on the Alleyway?"
"Someone kidnapped me"
"Oh me too" Tala raised her hand, "Would you think about that?" She chuckles, making Essia frown.
"Kidnapping is bad, you know. It's scary" Essia scolded Tala.
"I know i'm also" Tala leaned closer towards Essia, "Kidnapped right now can't you see?"
Essia raised an eyebrow at Tala's words and that is when Tala told Essia about herself. Magdalena did tell Tala a lot that she was a blabbermouth.
Somehow Essia's expression changes multiple times throughout the whole stuff that Tala was talking about and it eventually ends up with Tala getting a hug.
"You smell like charcoal and paper" Tala mumbled while being hugged by Essia.
"I often like to stay near chimneys a lot" Essia said, "Especially if you are reading books and having some hot chocolate"
"Hot chocolate?" Tala said with sparkling eyes, "does that thing taste good?!"
"It tastes very sweet and feels nice on the tummy." Essia said.
Tala's eyes sparkled even more, "WOAH, i want one someday" She then shook Essia, "You seem to know a lot of things, Essia"
Essia's ears turn red, "I do?.. Well not really but hehe Thank you" She said to Tala with a smile.
Tala then smiled back throwing herself to Essia, "Tell me more"
"Then, How about cotton candy it's this fluffy sweet-"
…
"Do you know the type of magic you would get when you turn eight was supposed to be related to your parents?" Essia asked.
Tala yawned, "I'm not sure, Mother don't have one"
"You got yours from Viscount Vibar" Essia retorted, "Healing magic, it was a rare magic. One in every ten thousands"
"You make it sound cool" Tala leaned her head to Essia's shoulder, "What's your powers like?"
"It's time. It's a unique type of magic" Essia said, leaning her head as well.
"It seems awesome. You don't like it?" Tala said.
"It was indeed alright but The whole royal family had a bloodline of Water mages. What does nobles kids tell me is true, i am indeed adopted"
"Is being adopted bad? I got a lot of siblings especially older ones they are the stray kids my mother pick up, most of them abandoned without anyone to care to"
"When Mother had me, i had ten siblings but when they turn sixteen they leave the house one by one until only my twin siblings remain"
"You didn't tell me that earlier," Essia said, fidgeting with Tala's green locks.
"Mother doesn't like talking about it. She said no matter what we are one big family"
"Your mother was a great lady"
"Yeah. You know we had a rule in our house whenever someone turn sixteen before they leave Mother would say, "Never go back don't let nostalgia took over you, leave you life and never look back" Still there is times where Mother would cry when she would find some food by the front door"
"I miss my mom," Tala added, her eyes glistening with tears.
"I miss my parents too, even that jerk Cedric" Essia said, her eyes teary as well.
"If i didn't try to run away after having an argument with Cedric i wouldn't have been kidnapped" She said.
"Argument?" Tala asked.
"Cedric, my brother got a fiance. And at first she told me nothing would change we would still play music together but after his fiance came she's absolutely smitten"
"Smitten? Like the cat"
Essia shook her head, "When Mother introduced Cedric to Mayumi he was so in love. He then continued to have tea parties with Mayumi instead of me"
"Tea parties? The one where they sip tea and snacks?!"
Essia nodded, "Cedric was a liar"
"Then how about we had tea parties instead let's not invite your brother" Tala said with a smirk, "In exchange i want to have a taste with the delicious food you have in your house"
Essia laughed, "That's right let's do a tea party and i invite everyone except them two"
"Then we would eat lots of stuff." Tala chimed in.
"Yeah and I make sure to give you two slices of my favorite starberry cake" Essia said with a smile as the two of them went to sleep.
