Chapter 53

~Vlar Manor~

Lianna teleported back to her manor even when the school has yet to finish

Black mist surround her as she landed softly on the ground and flipped her green hair backwards as she walk towards the front door

Without knocking she immediately opened the door making the servants flinch as they saw Lianna coming in

Lianna stood infront of the door as she noticed the servants looking at her in fear

"Tsk!"

She clicked her tongue for only her to hear and made a face of annoyance

She then looked at the servants and smiled gently as her silver eyes went red

The servants expression went from scared to adoration

"Miss you're finally home!"

One of the servants exclaimed

"I've been waiting for you miss!"

The other exclaimed as they smiled happily at Lianna

Lianna smirked a little and went closer to one of the servants

"Dear, could you bring me a glass of water and bring it to the office?"

Lianna said with her hands on the servants cheek making their face flush red as the servant quickly nods her head and ran of with a red face

Lianna then starts to walk towards the hallway to her office

She stopped for a bit and looked back at the servants once more

All of them smiling back at her with their faces flushed red

"It's getting weaker it seems..."

Lianna whispered then continued to walk towards her office

.

As she finally arrived she quickly sat on her chair and sighed

"sigh..."

What's goin on?

My power is slowly getting weaker

Turning back time was already hard enough I acted nicely and yet that kid still noticed what I was doing

That bastard...

She went quiet for a while as she looked up

What's wrong with him, the woman he likes clearly doesn't like him back

He wants her to like him back so badly to even go on his way and ask for the time to go back

"...."

Lianna went quiet as she look down to her hands and smirked

"KYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

Lianna laughed hard as she remembers how desperate Claude was

"No no, it's not over yet... That kid is clearly starting to lose hope and when he does, I can control that kid now"

"To think that kind of power was bestowed upon him, really it's a waste"

"And that Athy kid... There's another soul that resides within it's not hers, I already gave Claude a hint the secret she's been keeping them"

"Won't she look like a liar? Well at least to Claude and that woman, a trust is sometimes fragile there's a chance that purple head would be okay with it"

"But Claude... Dear Claude, he'll feel betrayed he might even think that, he who turned back time to gain her love and trust wasn't enough to tell all of this to him"

I might be able to control him sooner or later...

Lianna gave a smirk as she thought all of those

*knock knock!*

Someone knocked on the door

"Come in!"

Lianna answered sweetly with a smile

The door then went slowly open to reveal the servant who she ordered to get the water

The servant then came shyly as they slowly and gently put the water down on her desk

Lianna followed the servants hand then look back at them and smiled sweetly

She then ordered the servant to bend down

The servant then bent down as Lianna ordered and Lianna went and kis their cheek

The servant then was surprised but was happy because of it

They then bowed their head and went out with their face red

Lianna who was smiling earlier then faded as the servant was now gone

"Sigh..."

She sighed heavily

Love...

It's stupid...

Lianna thought

"I may be evil for doing this but I have to in order to see him again, I'll cause chaos for him to appear before me"

Lianna smiled in loneliness as she thought of those memories with him

Why is it so hard to just be peaceful, there's no backing down now that I have made that promise with them

"Love really is dangerous..."

Lianna mumbled

"Right! That old lady, Claude has been hiding her down there for a long time now... I'm surprised no one has noticed yet"

Lianna talked to herself as she plays with her hair

I tried going in there and see for myself but unfortunately there's a barrier surrounding it...

She clenched her fists in anger

"Gosh! I wouldn't even be this bothered if I don't need that old woman!"

She shouted in anger she then stood up and look back and walked closer to the window

As she noticed the servants doing their work happily chattering

"..."

She went quiet

"If only I had the power to foresee the future, would I have avoided those?"

She mumbled to herself as she kept on playing with her beautiful long green hair silently watching the happy faces of her servants

(The time when they went home for 2 days)

~Cythe's POV~

Back when we cam home from school me and Josefina rode the same carriage as she insisted on coming home with me

It was quite weird as she has been trying to keep me away from Athy these past few days

But now i'm sure of it...

Josefina... I can now clearly see that she has feelings for Athy

I have 2 rival's now huh?

Why are you making it harder Athy?

*Sigh*

I sighed at the thought

At first I thought that she was staring at Athy with how a friend would, but that look in her eyes is a look that I would give whenever I look at Athy

Claude's the same too

Does Athy really not realize these things? Or is she just pretending to avoid conflict?

I thought to myself looking down thinking

I then slowly looked up at Josefina who was smiling by herself looking out the window

"You like Athy don't you?"

I asked out of the blue seriously as I stare back at Josefina

Josefina was surprised and smiled back

"Why?"

Josefina smirked back at me

"So you, offering your help back then was something you lied about...?"

I asked

"Well at first I really wanted to help you, but as time progressed I found myself falling for her... And you can't stop someone from falling in love,Cythe"

Josefina smirked looking at me with all seriousness

"Athy likes you, but not in that way"

I answered back waiting fir her response

"Because she's Straight?"

Josefina asked

Without saying anything even a nod I just stared back at Josefina

Cause I know she already knows, that's even without answering she'd know

Josefina stared back

"Sigh"

She then sighed and rested her head on her palm and looked at me

"A straight ruler can be bent, why not Athy? *giggle*"

Josefina answered happily chuckling to herself

I stared at her for another second and answered

"You won't back down I see"

I said with a smirk

Josefina then answered with a smile

"I see..."

I answered smiling continuing in silence through the ride home...

.

.

.

.

We then arrived at Josefina's home first and then at mine as it coincidentally our home was just a 1 hour walk

I then got down from the carriage to see the servants waiting for me bowing

They then start to work on taking my luggage after they had greeted me

Ace then greeted me and showed me the way to my room

Ace is this house Butler, A young man in his 20's with green eyes and dark Blue Hair has a tanned skin and is quite handsome

Is what they would say if you ask the people around us to "who is Ace?"

...

"Where's father?"

I asked Ace who was accompanying me

"..."

The same as always he didn't answer

"Heh"

I chuckled under my breath

"The same as always, I see"

I mumbled

We then arrived to my room

"Do you need anything else young master?"

Ace asked as he bowed down

I looked at him staring without answering I then walked away as I was about to close the door

The Butler then stopped it from closing and looked at me with a worry

"You know why we're doing this young master..."

The Butler said with a worry

I then just stared at him without saying anything as I closed the door gently

And walked away from the door, I then reached my bed and lied down with my back facing down the bed looking up the ceiling quietly

"..."

It's quiet

I thought to myself

"I guess I was used to having noisy people around..."

I then turned my body to the window that was just 3 steps away from my bed

I then got up and opened the window and stayed by the balcony

"It's really quiet..."

I mumbled again

How's Athy now?

I asked myself

She was quite worried about that kid not showing up

It's making me quite jealous...

"..."

*Wooosh~*

Silence then once again filled the air as I closed my eyes feeling the gentle breeze of air around me

"..."

*Wooosh~*

And hummed the song a sang for Athy that quiet day....
