Chapter 57

We both sat in the gazebo quietly

"Oh right"

Cosmo talked

I looked at him wondering what he wants to say

"There's something I need to tell you, you remember that lady weed?"

Cosmo said

"You mean Lilianna?"

I answered back

He silently looked at me and scratched his head

"Weed, Grass, Lilianna, I don't care forgot her name"

This...

I'm speechless

I said to myself

"what i'm trying to say is that woman, try as much as possible to avoid her"

Cosmo said with a serious face

"Why is that?"

I asked

I know she'a bad news but if he'a going to tell to avoid her I at least need to know why

"Just do as you're told, something about her just seems off"

Cosmo said with annoyed tone to his voice

"Fine fine I will"

I answered back

"And also the time I first talked to her again I wasn't sure if I just saw it wrong but for a quick second her eyes turned red, like yours"

I said worried looking at Cosmo, Cosmo was looking back at me furrowed his brows a little and turned to look in front of him

"I see..."

He mumbled

"I think I know what's going on but, i'm still not sure yet"

He said

He knows what's up but he's not sure either...

I thought to myself

"Oh right about old lady Sherby I think I know where she's at"

Cosmo said

"Really?! Where is she now?"

I asked happily

"That... I'm still not sure"

Cosmo said with a troubled expression

"I thought you knew where she is?"

I asked confused

He's not making sense right now, it's confusing me

Is the Old lady Okay?

"I'll tell you when I'm sure, but right now I need to confirm it still"

Cosmo said

"I see..."

I said disappointed

"It's hard to explain"

Cosmo answered back

If it's hard to explain even for him I guess it is hard, plus considering that he's not even panicking must mean she's alright

That's good to know...

I thought to myself feeling relieved

"Why didn't you tell me that you found a clue?"

Cosmo asked

"Clue?"

I asked confused

What does he mean by clue?

"When we went and investigated sherby's room you were acting suspicious when you got to the bathroom"

Cosmo said looking at me and seriousness

D-does he mean the bracelet?

"Wh- I-"

I kept on stuttering I was caught off guard

Cosmo stared at me quietly and turned to look infront of him

"Well thanks to your suspicious movements I noticed you found some clue, but that clue is associated with someone you know, I assume"

Cosmo moved his sharp gaze at me

I couldn't hide my troubled and nervous expression, I was to nervous to do anything and so I just look down while fidgeting with my fingers

Cosmo gazed down to my fidgeting hand and sighed

"But that's all good now since I think I might know where she is"

Cosmo said

"Y-yes..."

I answered nervously

. . . .

There was a long awkward silence... It's suffocating me!

Talking to myself Cosmo stood up and walked away from me

I quickly turned too look at him and stood up with him

"W-where are you going?"

I asked

"Just... Anywhere?"

Cosmo said with unsure answer

He doesn't know where he's going huh...

"Remember what I told you, That grass lady don't get too close..."

Cosmo warned me

I nodded my head then wind came rushing so strong that the hem of my skirt was flying with

"Oh and for some reason I'm having this bad feeling for quite a while..."

Cosmo said as wind was blowing with his hair swaying

I stood there for what he's about to say next nervous

"You need to be more careful! though i'm not sure what it's about, just be careful"

Cosmo said before vanishing in thin air, and when he vanished the wind then calmed down

Leaving me with a messy outfit

I stood there thinking what he said just now

Bad feeling... I too have been feeling like that a lot

Why though? I don't like this one bit, it's scaring me

Right when the Festival happened that time but I forgot

The Ball is now moved to the day the Festival is held, it's getting nearer

We're doing our best to perform our stage play, but the bad feeling I'm having won't go away... Why?

Did I forget something?

I remember that during the festival Josefina and Cythe are having fun but something happened while they were happily playing

What is it?

I thought to myself making me remember what it was that I forgot...

But nothing comes to mind, the bad feeling I feel is it associated with this event?

I stood there in the middle thinking with my hand on my chin and eyes closed to properly concentrate

Still nothing...

I stood silently defeated by the fact that I have forgotten the event

"If I forgot about it then it's not important, is what they say then maybe it isn't important"

I mumbled to myself

After that the sun had already set and my surrounding starts to darken with only the school street light lit

I walked to my dorm and slept peacefully and with much practice, finally the Ball Festival has come...

.

Alegria Del Fiesta Ball

That day has finally come!

I thought happily

All of us are dressed nicely, our costumes are very well made

This was supposed to be just a ball but they decided to just put the festival and the ball all together

The nobles celebrate by dancing and commoners as well

This festival was made when the great Goddess Helia came down and blessed this country as it was said in the book

There was going to be an event this time but ever since I came I changed a lot of things

So i'm not quite sure if that is about to happen... I forgot what even it was

Hmmm

I grabbed my chin and trying to remember that event but, I still don't remember

"What is it?"

I mumbled

*Flick!*

"Eek!"

Someone flicked my forehead and surprised me

I looked up to see who it was

And Cosmo was standing in front of me

"Were you the one who flicked my forehead?!"

I asked angrily

"Yes, that was me!"

He answered happily

"Why would you do that?!"

I asked

"Well how can I not? Thinking about something so deep it's making you ugly"

Excuse me?!

How dare he?!

"Well you-"

As I was about to insult him I looked him up and down to see him

Cosmo was dressed in a beautiful purple dress and a very long blonde wig and his face covered in make up

He was beautiful...

I was amazed that I got red

"..."

I stood silently

What the! I can't even insult him since he looks so good right now!

I clenched my fist and grit my teeth

"Hmm? What was that, were you complimenting me?"

He asked annoyingly shoving his face close to mine

"Aisshhhh shut up!"

I yelled annoyed

He really looks like a princess...

I thought to myself with my eyebrows furrowed

"Why thank you, I tried my hardest to make myself prettier, although I am already pretty"

Cosmo happily answered

"You're so full of air..."

I annoyingly mumbled

He said that he was the one who dressed himself up, he is quite talented

"I truly am talented! Not to mention beautiful and handsome!"

Cosmo interrupted happily

"Stop reading my thoughts!"

I angrily shouted

"Fufufufufu"

He laughed and ran away from me elegantly

Aishhhh

I grumbled angrily

"Annoying little-"

I mumbled

"The show hasn't started and you're already stressed"

Cythe came out from the dressing room and walked towards me

He looks like a true knight!

Cythe looks handsome as usual, expected from the male lead

Even with a knights uniform can he make them look stunning

That even the noble ladies took notice blushing from ear to ear

He's shining so radiantly!

I thought to myself

I stared at him for awhile mesmerized by Cythe's beauty

Cythe notices and stared back at me and smiled warmly

My eyes widened and looked away, i immediately touched my cheeks and feel them burning up

"O-oh dear..."

I mumbled Squeezing both of my cheeks, I closed my eyes as tightly as possible embarrassed

When I felt a warm hand placed on my forehead

I slowly opened my eyes and slowly looked up to see Josefina standing infront of me

"You're burning up! Are you ok?"

Josefina asked worried as she grabbed my hand with her other hand on my forehead

Standing infront of me is the female lead Josefina...

"So beautiful..."

I mumbled

Mesmerized by Josefina's beauty I kept staring at her

Josefina then let go of my hand and covered her mouth

"Eh?"

I was confused

Josefina's face immediately exploded her face turning bright red

"I- t-thank you"

Josefina said shyly as she looked down

"...."

She so cute!

I thought to myself

"What a total flirt, tsk tsk tsk"

Cosmo butted in and said

Shut up!

I yelled at him telepathically

"Eh~"

Cosmo shrugged and walked away

All of them are so beautiful but someone is missing

"Where's Claude?"

I asked

No one answered since they don't know where he is

Josefina came forward and grabbed my arm

"I- I think I saw Claude standing outside getting some fresh air"

Josefina said

"Is that so?"

"Is he nervous"

I mumbled to myself

"Thank you for telling I'll go and talk to him"

I smiled at Josefina and she smiled back I then went outside and look for him

To see the brightly lit moon reflecting on the pond and a bridge over the pond

And on that bridge was Claude who looked worried with his back leaned on the bridge railing looking up the moon

His red hair fluttered along the gentle breeze of the wind and his pink jeweled eyes glisten by the moon's light

Today he was the 2nd lead the thief... And it suits him

At that time the moment I set my eyes on him, I can't seem to take my eyes off of him

He was very handsome, I think he stole something from me.... What is it?
