Chapter 5

"Uncle Seleno..." she muttered. The uncle looks at her proudly.

"Oh my! Is this my niece? She looks beautiful as time passes" she pat her hair. "my lady... You didn't take a bath today" her nanny said.

"Ha" he groaned. "I'll let this slide of this naughty personality of yours" her uncle closed the book and look somewhere. "according to my son, your running like you woke up from a nightmare"

"It is indeed a nightmare, uncle" she still running her breath. "we'll talk about this later, maids, give her a bath and an extravaganza clothes"

"So you dreamed that I died on your dream?" he asked, sipping his tea, she nodded and ate the cake.

"Who killed me?"

"The crown prince Ylium Rufino" she answered confidently. "and uncle, why do I dream such menace? Did I anger the goddess of life?" she asked again, looking at ths sun that is so shiny. The flowers are now in a bloom and the people are now busy.

"And do you conclude that in the future, he will annihilated the family?" he asked. "I also had the same dream about it, I also saw you"

Zeianna lower her head. If she's that weak, how can she beat the prince?

"I don't know, we'll see, but as of now, let's talk about business"

Zeianna got into her office. At first everything's fine until she saw a book that doesn't have a title. It's design are red borders, similar to a blood tentacles.

She opened the page but it was clean, no handwriting. She asked her butler standing next to the table. "did someone told you to give me this?" she asked with wonder on her face. The book is so pretty and clean.

"No one gave me that book, I did not know that it was here"

Strange.

"Please leave me alone" she said. The butler bowed before getting out of the office.

As the presence became clear, she opened the book.

"What did lies written in here?"

She remembered something, there's a book when she was beheaded in her first life.

The design of it is so blur.

"What is your goal?"

She never been familiarize with the book. As she know, the book has its been enchanting lights as if someone talked.

"Did you save me?"

The book never answered. There's no point in asking the book about her past so she just do her tasks.

It's been hours and if the lady didn't informed about her meeting in the afternoon she'll never stand in her seat.

She wore a dark and light purple silk taffeta day dress, designed with dark violet ribbons on its lower back, with dark violet underskirt on it together with a dark violet fan.

With her black straight hair that matches the dress, everyone think that she'll attend an execution because of her dark themed clothes.

"Is the carriage ready?" she asked. The maid nodded and bowed when a carriage stopped onto her. She go inside and enjoyed the travel.

She stepped down to see the flourishing Palace of Rufino Empire. The guards greet her. Her hair is still swaying with the wind even though she wore a lavish bonnet.

"Using a parasol is so boring and too ladylike, I want to break the styling of women these days" she said after greeted the crown princess who is waiting for her.

"Well, why did you come here? Do you have something to consult?" the princess asked while drinking tea.

"I'm asking what is the crown prince is up today, I have dreams and it was all connected to him"

"I heard earlier that tomorrow he'll visit the emperor of the Hamelia empire" she said, looking at the Palace fountain, shining with water flowing from an angels water pot.

"Did you hear any information about his planned assassination to the Juvelino and Emery family?" nervous, she put her tea down and laughed to release the tension between them. Zeianna's eyebrows furrowed. "what's funny?"

"My brother would never do that, and besides, if he would do that, he must send a spy on your house" Caliana smirked.

"I'll go to the Hamelia empire tomorrow, I have business there with duke Victorino" she said, lowering her head and eyes gone fierce.

"Ah. The young duke in his 20s? I heard that she's going to marry the lady of De Claro family, Adelaide De Claro"

"I'm talking about business affairs, not his marriage, and I'm going to stay in his Manor since I'm friends with his sibling, Clara Gaile" Zeianna said. She looked at the angels fountain and to the cake after.

"Well, I have my blessing to you, goodluck, hope you had a nice talk with him"

"Where did you go?" her father blocked her way, his cold brown eyes are scanning onto her, right, she did go outside.

"Why? Are you going to scold me after meeting with someone?" Zeianna asked him coldly, why is she going to expect that her longing for a father's love will be reciprocated soon?

Now all the lines are now blurred.

'Did I said something so bluntly?' she asked herself.

"I mean, are you going to tell me something regarding to the meeting with the crown princess?" she asked with a smile on her face to hide her unsatisfied demeanour.

"Nothing. Good thing you have a healthy talk with her"

"Is this everything enough for your vacation in Hamelia empire?" Reina asked, looking at the bag full of clothes. "or should I add something a little?"

"It's okay, I have my short vacation there and besides I have business talks with duke Victorino" she answered, and closed her closet.

"Well, safe travels"

"Where's the carriage? I need to go to the port early for the ship" she said, nervously holding the bag that contains her clothes.

"It's here! The carriage is now here!" the butler said. "tell father that I am in Hamelia empire for business"

"We will my lady" the servants bow their heads as the carriage is fading from their view.

Now, Zeianna is now worried about the business affair they're going to talk about.
