9 Discontent In The Estate

Nadia made her way to the forest she had used to make her escape from the duke's estate earlier. She didn't hear anyone near by so she removed her cloak and then removed her heels and threw then over the wall together. She looked at the wall and hummed. 'Yeah I could scale this. Be a little difficult with the bag but I could probably do it. But I can't look like this when I enter the estate. I'll have to mess around with my transformation.' Nadia thought looking at the wall as she shifted the wall to her back and tightened it to herself.

Nadia removed the ring she was wearing that would scrap along the wall as she undid some of the transformation making her hair a log dark blue colour. 'This will be good enough for the chance someone is on the other side. They'll only see me like this for a moment so it will be fine.' She told herself ad she backed up from the wall a fair distance away.

Nadia stretched out her arms, and tapped her foot against the ground. "Alright I can do this, it's been a few years since I've done parkour stuff to escape from them, but it should be fine. I can preform a wall climb and the mount up." she muttered to herself as she finished stretching.

Making sure her bag was secure and not going to get in the way one last time before she was completely ready. She then broke off into a run towards as she got closer to the wall she increased her pace and had longer powerful fast strides, she then jumps into the wall, rising her leg up planting were her hip is, her leg bent to then do a kick of the wall sending herself high up the wall she placed on hand on the wall slightly as her left hand leading up managed to grabbed the ledge of the wall.

She had one lag up on the wall again, with her second hand then pushing with her feet and pulling up her arms to push her upper body over the wall her arms fully extended then quickly brought her feet up onto the top of the wall. Allowing her to stand on top of the wall she smiled slightly and looked up was the sky and laughed slightly.

She raised her arms over her head and laughed more a beautiful smile forming on her face she lightly touched her face her bracelet that the council gifted to her could be seen. "I did it! I did it! Yes I don't need to climb a tree next time for my escape." Eva laughed as she stood on the wall. When she pulled herself up the transformation was gone and she returned to looking and sounding like Evangeline. "Ah, darn oh well. I have to get back to my room in secret that way they won't know how I got out." Eva muttered as she ran her hand through her hair.

'The easiest way would be using magic, but I'm still unsure of my limit's and I'm still fairly unfamiliar with magic in general. I do want to practice sneaking around but now's not the time for that. Sigh I'll just do that.' Nadia thought as she begun too dismount from the wall placing her hands against the ledge of the wall before hanging her legs down the side till eventually the let go, and landed on the ground properly.

Nadia went and grabbed her cloak and shoes. "Alright let get back." Eva muttered holding up one hand. "Teleport." she said as she snapped her fingers but nothing happened. She frowned slightly and snapped her finger a few times. Before letting out a sigh. She tried it 4 more then on her fifth try it finally worked and she teleported to Evangeline's room/

"Agh, I still need a lot of practice with that. Though I have potential, prancing on how magic works and casting spells is needed." Eva mumbled as she placed her shoes and cloak down on the floor. Which followed with Nadia loosening the strap on the magic bag and placing it on the small table she had in the room. 'It would be best to leave the lights off for about 20 minutes or so. So then they don't know when I came back and also avoid making a shadow by the door… even avoid the windows. Going shopping was not my only goal today. It was also to confuse and push the boundaries. When I was out especially when I was with Mate I was able to use my acting, misdirection, and sales tactics in which they worked swimmingly here. Even my analytic skills of people are good. I might just be able to pull this crazy plan off.' Nadia chuckled as she smirked and flipped open the magic bag.

She first went over to Evangeline's closet and took out any dresses that didn't match Nadia's preferred style (which was almost half of the wardrobe) and had it resting on and a bench. Along with some on the floor. 'I can sell these either as material or to be reused. Either way I can defiantly make some money off these overly frilly and totally not my style type of dresses. It's pleasing that I can make money in this way. It wasn't something possible back home… or at least I wasn't aware of it if it was possible. I'll take this stuff with me the next time to sell it that way I can make some coin already before I begin distribution of products.' Nadia thought before turning to the magic bag.

That was when the door to Eva's room was kicked in causing Nadia to let out a slight scream and jump in to a fighting stance. "Bitch?! There you are! Where the hell were you?!" Aoife growled storming over to her and holding tightly on to her shoulder's.

Nadia expression turned to one of annoyance her eyes slightly glaring at Aoife, not trying to hide her annoyance. "I have no idea what you are talking about?"

"Don't play stupid bitch we couldn't find you anywhere in the estate."

"Ehh? Did you really try looking for me cause I can assure you that I did not leave the estate, though I did go to multiple places on the estate today." Eva replied in a neutral tone looking Aoife directly into his dull silver eyes.

"Then where were you?"

"Every where you were not dear brother." Eva replied spitting out the last words like venom. Having enough of Aoife's tight grip on her shoulder Eva's hand raised and grabbed his wrist directly on one the pressure points causing his hands to release her shoulder's from his grasp then slowly moving his hand away and letting go. "Now dear brother could you please leave? It's been a tiering day after finally being allowed to move around again after 2 weeks. And I find myself quite tired." Eva lied going as far and to let out a hidden fake yawn.

Nadia could hear Aoife click his tongue and slam the door behind him. She couldn't help but let an annoyed sigh. Insuring that no one would be able to barge into Eva's room uninvited again she moved a few pieces of furniture in front of the bedroom door. Since Aoife is aware that she is in the room she turned on the lights. 'I need a private room to do what I want… Hmm maybe when I've acquired enough funds I'll get a place in town that I'll use as my personal space to preform experiments and such… allowing me to be myself really.' Nadia planned before she begun removing everything from the magic bag. She putt away all of her new clothing hiding her simple clothing and man's ware. Then hid the glass ware she got to preform experiments and make medicine. The wooden swords she put in the corner of the room and hide the throwing knives in a locked box. However she left a large portion of the books she purchased on the small table.

After dealing with everything it was late she sat in a chair and was reading one of the many book's she purchased today. At some point while she was reading there was a knock at the door. "Miss Evangeline." An unfamiliar male voice spoke, the next moment Nadia heard the door nob turn and the man attempted to enter the room without permission. But with the furniture I moved to block the door the man just ran into the door. "M-miss?! Why is the door blocked."

"So I could get to privacy. I didn't not want someone to coming into my room like earlier." Eva replied. "So what is the meaning of you attempting to barge into my room at night?" she asked her words sharp as she spoke.

"Its about your maid."

"Ah right… but this is not something to discuss at night. We will talk about this tomorrow now please leave." Eva replied and she waited til she heard the door close and footsteps leading away from 'her' room. 'Jeez they have no respect for Evangeline. An I have to deal with these bad attitudes for the next few years… how annoying. If I'm getting a maid I do not one associated with the duke house. They cannot have any ties with the Espinoza family. Even if I'll rarely use the girl its will be nice to have someone to help with the corset and get me food. The last time I ate was when I was in town. I guess I'll be going hungry tonight… let's read till I feel tired tonight.' Nadia decides as she turned back to the book in her hand.
