The Noble Lobelia Clan (1)

CHAPTER 5: The Noble Lobelia Clan (1)

Diamond chandelier, gems stuck in the wine glasses and cups, sparkling luxury around the place is enough to caught the attention of the 'Formidable Attorney' of the modern day. She never seen so much sparkles in her life, not even once.

All she sees everyday was, cold dust and a boring room with people and cameras with pens scratching noises. It was a sight of her everyday life.

But she do misses the smell of books. Its possible that the Lobelia family, being the third wealthiest family, to have a library.

"Lady, the Count is entering." As another tradition, they greeted the Count by standing up and bowing.

"Let's start eating, shall we?" With that, they sit down and started distributing the dishes served by the family chiefs.

"Thank you." The Count said, but then noticed how Cecelia was staring at the food in her plate.

"Cecelia?"

The mentioned girl was a bit startled and look at the man.

"Yes?"

"Are you okay?" Her father asked.

"Ah. I am alright, do not worry. I just remembered something..."

"Oh, I see.."

"Dear, how was your trip?" The Countess ask.

"Oh, it was good and..."

The conversation continued like that in a vision of a perfect family. Indeed, the Count's family was a warm family, no battle against the title and no jealousy.

Not until Cecelia came in. As far as her dreams which turns out to be her memories, take her, Cecelia was didn't like her sister. Blond hair and emerald eyes, Eden was beautiful. If Eden's eyes were blue, she would have been considered a royalty.

It might be luck or a coincidence, but fortunately, Eden's eyes weren't blue.

"Did you got your letter from the academy, Cecelia?"

All the attention of the people on the table was drawn back to her. Cecelia was trying to keep a low-key profile until the end of the dinner but it looks like its not happening.

"What letter?"

Cecelia was wondering what letter did Gabriel is looking for. She saw many letters piled in her desk.

"Sister, the Academy's seal is a golden dove, did you perhaps saw it? All the letters are being sent in your table." Eden explained just when Gabriel was supposed to speak.

'Ah.' Cecelia thought when she remembers a letter with a golden wax and a dove sealed letter!

"Now that you've mentioned it, I didn't read it yet. I'll open it up tomorrow and you'll be the first one to know." Cecilia then chew her beef.

The foods was out of this world and something she clearly haven't tried before. She don't usually goes out to eat in restaurants, but rather she cooks for herself. It was efficient that way.

"If you ever pass, what would you like to pursue?" Her fork stop after hearing the Count's question.

"I still don't know, but I still have weeks to prepare right?"

"Hmm. Indeed." The dinner ended like that. Cecelia arrived at her room ready for bed, while Pansy is preparing her bath.

It would be easy to answer the Count's question by becoming an attorney, a politician, or might be ranking up her position in the society but politics is dirty.

And becoming an attorney is a key point that will change her life greatly. But, was that how Cecelia wanted?

She is Cecelia, and will always be her. But why do she feels uneasy? What do Cecelia wants to do?

The reason why she strongly wants to become an attorney is because of her past life memory. Dying unjustly, she wants to serve justice, but do becoming an attorney does it?

Let her start from the basic.

"The bath is ready."

"Thank you, McKana. You may now rest, I'll take it from here."

She step into the tub after Pansy closes the door.

What does the Lobelia Clan do? The Ruiz's? What were the rules in this country? The standards? The society?

"Hmm..."

That questions needed someone knowledgeable to be answered.

"A governess? Or an etiquette teacher?"
