A terrifying surprise 2

It took me a long time to make Mireyan realize that nothing would happen to her, in a matter of fact she would be fine after a few days. I followed her every word, after what she said, confused waiting for a good moment to tell her that this was a normal thing, and in fact she even was late and should have started it sooner. I was surprised by the fact that she was older than me and knew nothing about it, in normal circumstances, she should have been the one to give me advice and not the other way around.

'Well, this sure is uncomfortable!'

She kept crying and turned back sometimes, after she had calmed down, to see my reaction, but I believe that in those moments I was totally uninterested in what would come next, so I was just waiting for her to stop.

[Wait, she will not die from blood loss?]

'Of course not, what are you even saying?'

Since I was younger than her, I had to find a compelling way to let her know, that what was happening to her was nothing to worry about. I left to find a book in the library that talked in more detail about this kind of topic, but I was unlucky.

'Guess, these types of books are not available in all libraries and I think his grace doesn't need that kind of book in his mansion. But I'm worried that even if I try to search in another place it will be the same. Now I think the only way to calm Mireya is to ask for a professional. '

After I went back and tried to keep Mireya as calm as possible, the doctor came along with Spencer and her maids and he started explaining everything she needed to know and how to take care of her hygiene. Even though I was skeptical at first, because the knowledge that people had about this topic was limited, and I thought the doctor would be vulgar and it would be a total waste of time, but thank god, all went well until the doctor left.

"Young lady Raelian, how is your health, have you had any problems lately?"

"No, so far I have taken good care of my body, I have limited my training hours and I have tried to get more rest, so I didn't even need the medication you gave me."

He hesitated to speak the moment he heard that I was not taking my medication, but he still tried to be careful in the way he appeared to me.

"I'm happy to see that the young lady is healthy, but don't hesitate to let me know if you need anything."

'Doctor, don't try to make me suspicious of you, I'm cautious as it is. I know that in the situation that I am in now, I have to be careful from all sides, for myself and the people I care about. But first, with the painkillers you gave me, I can not cure fatigue and certainly not insomnia, so I am not happy that you took me for such an idiot that doesn't even know this small thing.'

Still, I escorted the doctor outside as if I knew nothing, and then Spencer took care of the others. Even though I didn't like his way of doing things, he was the doctor of his grace and according to the story, Duke Phelter had no health problems, he was healthy. Moreover, today he helps me to remove a great weight from my shoulders with Mireya's condition, so I will close one eye only for today.

'I guess, I'm a little paranoid and overthink things more than I should, but it's not bad to be careful about my surroundings once in a while, and even more until our birthday comes.'

[So, you decided to accept that person's offer, even though the light didn't say her opinion?]

'You just addressed her as 'the light' again, she has a name, and the way you address her, made her a non-existent thing. And no, unlike the first time, I will talk to her this time and try to show the positive things of accepting the offer.'

[Those positive things that you are going to show her, does it even exist?]

"Of course she said herself, that she would be happy to return to the moments we spent before, the three of us as a family. So it's quite simple, we just have to stay together and create some happy moments, no matter how and what we have to do to achieve it. And furthermore, she appreciated my work and the "fatigue" I went through to get here, so it made me even more confident that she had nothing against accepting the offer. '

That sure makes things easier! I'm glad Mireya was able to tell me this in the middle of all the crying she did, and just in time. Our birthday is not far away, although we will have to wait until the ceremony to be proclaimed as his heirs and in front of all the aristocrats, it wouldn't be bad if we announced it a little earlier, to establish a little order inside the mansion.

Mostly now in fact, before entering Mireya's room, I listened to her maids who had stayed with us all the time the doctor was there, listening. I for myself felt uncomfortable surrounded by so many people, for such a delicate matter that belonged only to Mireya. But when I thought about it, in this society it is difficult to keep secrets from your servants. They know everything, every part of your body, even the intimate parts, they are so good at getting information about someone that they are good for serving.

And in these moments, since everyone had left the room and were left alone, on one side was Mireya who was ashamed of the noise she caused and had gathered all in one corner, after realizing that what terrified her so much was just normal, and the maids, on the other hand, were trying to show sympathy towards their mistress, just like a fellow woman.

"Oh poor, poor lady Mireya, this is just the first step of being a woman. You don't have to worry so much, just leave it in our hands, we will take care of you. "

"T-thank you so much, I-I was so terrified that I thought that I was going to die soon."

It was sweet on their part that they were trying to help her with something Mireya was new about, and I couldn't help her much because she wouldn't take me seriously or would feel even more ashamed that I knew and I had gone through it before her, and now she was behaving childishly.

I somehow thought to leave them alone so they could talk about it more, and also create a better connection than mine and my maids, since I didn't want the same thing to happen to her. But a part of me didn't want to leave them alone, I got paranoic again and stopped midway from leaving, to hear more about their conversation.

They continued to talk to each other and the servants began to speak even more in an informal language with Mireya, meanwhile, she remained silent affirming their every word.

They became so casual with her that several times I tried to intervene and get them out at any moment, but I stopped and thought that maybe this was for Mireya's good and that I was just exaggerating it. Until I heard something that I shouldn't have and made my blood boil with anger!

"Haha, even though it's painful my lady, beautiful moments will come to you soon enough."

"Even though you are a little late, it is better late than never to live a life full of happiness."

"What do you mean, how can this be a beautiful moment?"

'Oh no, I don't like where this is going. It's one thing when they try to be understandable and they try to ease Mireyas's burden, but it's another thing if they try to give an opinion about her life from now on. '

"It's simple my lady, you finally reached a stage where you can start your own family and have your own children. It will be really sad that we say goodbye to our lady so soon, now that we finally got to know each other, but life is like these. "

"Yes, it will be a sad separation, but after the coming of age ceremony, and with your beauty my lady, you will have many candidates who will ask for your hand in marriage. You will create a happy life as the mistress of a rich family and the most beautiful thing, you will have children for your future husband. Is not this the happiest thing for you? Because we are happy for my lady! "

Mireya had a disgusted look on her face and so did I, it was a lot of information after what she went through not too long ago. At first she thought she was going to die and spend all her energy crying, then she found out that she was a late starter and that she would be in pain for some time after that, and finally she found out that after this her life is going to change.

She was crying and wanted to be left alone, throwing her pillows and shouting at them like crazy to make them leave, while her maids were caught them by surprise by the first time Mireya got angry and was violent towards them.

"Get out, I don't want to hear any more about this! Leave me alone! "

So they were trying to calm her down, but she still kept refusing to hear their words.

"Miss, what do you have, does something hurt?"

"It's her cycle for sure, they are making her behave like this."

I didn't think they did this on purpose, because unlike Irene and Piera, they didn't sound ironic at all and didn't mean the opposite of what they were saying, but they should read the room. They were treating Mireya like crazy now, and she didn't need to know all this. How her life will continue depends only on her and is not predetermined by those traditions that have no value.

The lack of ill-intent made it worse, because they were really giving

their genuine opinion about the life they are used to, but I got angry and wanted to stop them from making any further comments on that matter and leave her alone just like she asked them to. Still, I didn't want to scare Mireyan who was probably still shocked by this new thing that had happened to her. I went inside and saw all the mess she had made on the floor and her maids who looked as if they had put her in a corner.

'I wanted to be kind enough to tell them politely to get out ...'

"You there, what are you doing?"

"Huh, young lady ?! Good thing that you came! Lady Mireya is not good, she might need your help! "

"I know, that's why I'm here. But you two...what are you trying to do, are you trying to suffocate her with your thoughts and actions? She doesn't need this, she doesn't need you, and she clearly just said right now to leave her alone. Be a good servant and do as she told you, carry out the orders or you will be thrown into the street. So what are you two waiting for, get the hell out of this room! "

'... but I don't think that being polite, suits me that much!'
