22[Modern world? What a pain!]

I woke up, looking around noticing the white room I was in, I saw a lady, looking at me, with a serious gaze, then turned into a slight smile of disgust.

"Cielo, your awake, I was told to inform your parents if you have woken up. Seeing as you survived the accident." She spoke.

"What accident? I don't even know what room this is? Or are you like a Physician of sorts?" I ask.

"You have a terrible thing happen to you, as well as I'm a nurse, seems to have memory loss, for the time being, you will be with your fiancée as I remember your parents are overseas." She explained.

"I see he's awake, inform the doctor to have him checked out, I will talk it from here." A cold voice spoke, as it entered the room.

"Greetings to your—I mean, it's nice to meet you," I say.

He looks at me and sighed, "Your a mess, no wonder you have been careless."

"I don't need your help, I can find clothes my self, thank you very much," I say.

I look to see a draw and grab some clothes, looking for a hair tie, tie up my hair. As I looked at him.

"Excuse me, please get out of the room, I'm trying to get changed," I said.

He looked at me and stood there, I took his arm and dragged him out of the room.

As I walked back into the room and changed them walked near him, he looked at me, "What's with your hair? Shouldn't you cut it?"

"No never, unless I'm granted it by his majesty, or it's national time where he respects those who have passed, other than that we never cut is hair much less put down, only when we sleep may we do that," I explained.

He looked at me as if I was weird.

'My bride has gone lost, it seems he does not remember anything but seems to have the persona of an ancient person.' He thought.

"We'll be living in the house, I own, please respect all." He said.

"Of course, why wouldn't I, you are who I am married, the one who rules the house I am a mere wife nothing more." I say "As if you have any others that are expected, as someone who I would believe have high ranking of sorts."

"I do not, I only have you, that such a thing is not excepted here, if it was, I would not want me to happen as well, now come into the car. I want you to know, that's you should have a proper greeting and try not to anger them as well." He explained.

"As you wish," I reply.

I walked into the car and the old man drove us, we arrived at a house, I thought it was a lot smaller compared to my palace, I miss Chen Chen, and everybody, and that stupid husband of mine as well.

"Master it's great your back, Miss Li has been waiting for you," I spoke a voice that was rather Butler like.

I was grabbed by the hand and looked at the young lady, I thought he said multiple wives were not excepted here, seems she'd like to break it and court with him. I don't know if she has a higher status then me? Seeing as that butler didn't greet me, I assume I'm Lower than her in this place.

"This one greets Miss Li, May you have a wonderful future," I say.

She looks at me with cold eyes, "Were not in some Chinese play, stop acting."

"This one is only doing what is taught, this one isn't joking, if Miss Li do not take this one seriously then this one shall not greet you formally as this one should anymore," I say.

"Is he joking? What does he come to a really old family, who don't speak modern words?" She asked rather coldly.

"Miss Li, the master's fiancée has lost memory so for now, this is the way he speaks." The butler whispered.

"Huh? Lost memory, like I believe that." She said.

I stood there, looking at him, then her, waiting for somebody to allow me to speak, or do something rather than be bored.

"Huh! So you lost your memory? I don't believe you, tell me, then, if I'm in status higher then you should I have you kneeling?" She asked.

"Yes, you should, but you are not his concubine or his madame, therefore I don't have to kneel in respect to you or kneel as the master of the house hasn't ordered me to kneel, and not a servant either, therefore those rules don't comply to me," I explained.

She didn't say anything else, "May I sit or something, my legs hurt from standing, I usually use a swing or eat food but I don't have Aki with me so the foods not going to be as good."

"You May sit, no need for formality's, I'd rather have you at ease, than anything." He spoke.

He's way colder and calmer then that idiot was, Hmm, though I wonder if I cook I'll get the same reaction? Interesting indeed.

I walked over to what seems like the kitchen and try to cook some dishes, for him and I. He walked over and looks in awe while she looks angry, as well as jealous.

"There's so much food!" She shouted.

"Well of course, and empress and emperor shall always have the most food except for mother in law, she is the women who can overrule the emperor only for once and only once, she makes rise a women in rank or demote one, she runs the harem before the empress is chosen, or she's on her death bed, but in history, there was a dynasty as forgotten where there was male empress," I explained.

(This isn't a real thing! Made up!!!)

"Oh, and what for me, how much food do you get?" She asked.

I scooped some dishes and served, two plates worth of food.

"You're a mere miss invited here by the master of the house, nothing more, your rank may be formally higher than me, but for political wise, you are not, as you can see here," I replied, "as for them since they've been serving long before I've been here, I assume there high ranking and great pay, so they may choose how parts of the dinner they like."

'That's not fair to me! You're USING YOUR MEMORY LOSS AS AN EXCUSE TO TORMENT ME, for all those times!' She thought in anger.

I waited till he ate something then I ate something, "Eat you made this for us, have something at least."

"I must wait till you try a dish before I may eat a dish, that's simple so shall I break it, I will be forced to kneel for many hours, or days. Till I have met the time limit." I explained.

"That's a harsh thing, I don't want that for you, please just eat, don't abide by this rule thing, don't worry I won't tell anyone." He spoke.

"Alright, since I've been granted it, I shall eat," I said.

I ate till I could eat no more, he looked at me and walked over towards me and took a cloth and wiped my mouth, "Such a messy eater does not wonder you had to follow those rules, next time let's have some light dishes first not heavy."

"As you wish." I reply "I should excuse my self, I'm tired and wish to rest..."

I passed out in his arms, as he called for someone.

"It seems he's allergic to Peppers, but according to what I know customs state peppers must not be served ever in a home that has not more then three wives." The butler explained.

"Call the doctor, now." He spoke in a cold tone.

The doctor was called Cielo laid on the bed.

"It seems he ate a small amount if he rests for about three weeks he should be fine, he should be careful from now, that could have killed him." The doctor explains.

"Yes, I understand." He replied.

The doctor left as I woke up, with him standing near me.

"You made me worry, how come you put peppers, you should be careful." He replied.

"I..forgotten since I'm so used to food without peppers I haven't seen them in such a long time." I rasped.

"Never mind that, I'll have the chef make your dishes to your liking, while you have some bed rest alright." He spoke.

"Being bedridden is awful, I hate it," I spoke softly.

He gave me a soft look with his cold piercing eyes.

"Well, I must get to school, I don't want to leave you here, but you must rest, I'll have a maid take care of you, try not to move much while I'm gone." He spoke.

He left the room as I slept for a little while, as I didn't even notice my body moved to the garden, laying there in the cold. I slowly opened my eyes, seeing Miss Li, standing there, gazing at me coldly.

"Ha! Your so weak, I can't believe you're to marry him, you Bastard child, I will have you die out here, then I shall marry him." She spoke.

I closed my eyes as the next thing I know I'm back in the bedroom, on the bed sleeping, as my eyes slowly opened.

"My my, you contracted a cold while you were a bed, something's off." He spoke.

"Welcome back." I softly said.

"Your so formal even when your sick, I thought I told you to stay in bed." He said.

"I did, but then I was in the garden..with Miss Li, standing there while I was on the ground..then I'm here with...you," I replied softly.

'It seems that evil women want to kill my sweet little bunny, in his moment of weakness.' He thought.

He looked at me, with a sweet little smile.

"What's school anyway, if I may ask?" I say.

"It's a place to learn, but you need to rest so you can't go to school..."

"But. I wanna go, if I go for one day but I'll be in a wheelchair would that be okay, or I could have someone help me get around I wanna see the doctor said even though I should rest it's good to try to get around for one day, please." I say.

"Fine, tomorrow, only that day, don't try to anything okay. I want you to be safe, alright I care for you." He explained.

"Of course you care, I'm the young madame, or soon to be, so I care and respect what you say and shall listen to your words wisely," I reply softly.

"You should rest for tomorrow." He said.

He left the room, as I slept excited for tomorrow.
