The hidden city

Philip and Marianne returned to the Hidden city with Luana. It was Luana's first time there . Even though Philip was her grandfather, Luana haven't been into the hidden city.

'' Soo, How is our little city ?'' Marianne asked from Luana cheerfully.

''It's pretty right ?'' Marianne said

'' Are you insane? It's the most beautiful city I've ever been to ! '' Luana replied.

Marianne giggled hearing that as they walked in the stony streets of the hidden city. Sweet afternoon breeze swept Luana's face. She took a deep breath. she glanced at her grandfather's face. to her surprise he was looking at her face too. Phillip quickly turned his face away. Luana laughed seeing that kind of behaviour from her grandfather .

''So it's true'' Luana said while giggling

''What is true?'' Phillip asked from Luana

''That you used to do the cutest things?'' Luana replied

''Like goofing around, yes he do '' answered Marianne playfully.

''I - I don't know what you are talking about. Let's hurry, I don't want you to catch a cold '' Phillip quickened his phase.

''Look at him'' Marianne laughed pointing at Phillip who was now speeding away from them.

''*Ahem* catch up , If you don't want to get lost in here" Philip shouted

''Aye sir!'' Luana and Marianne shouted back at him while laughing their heads off.

...

Some time passed since they arrived at Phillip's Mansion . Luana was tired , she wanted to sleep. So Marianne asked a maid to show Luana her room.

''How is Luana ?'' Phillip asked from Marianne .

''She said she wanted to rest a little , So I sent her to her room'' Marianne replied

''Did she perhaps..... Did she mention anything about Catherine or Marcus ? '' Phillip asked

''No , Strangely Lune didn't talk about either Sister Catherine or Brother Marcus '' Marianne replied.

''Yeah that's strange '' Phillip said.

''Have you figured out something yet Uncle ?'' Marianne asked from Phillip.

''Nothing more and nothing less except from the information here '' Phillip replied while pointing his finger at a file which was on a table beside them.

Marianne picked it up and went through all the details carefully.She sighed and fell into the sofa which was behind her.

''It's him again ,Just as the last time .He didn't get what he wanted so he'll never stop''Marianne sighed again .

Just then A maid appeared with a tray containing hot tea. She placed the tea pot and other treats on the teapoy.

''Lady Marianne, I've accompanied Miss Luana into her bedroom.''Maid said

''Good'' Marianne replied

The maid bowed at Phillip and Marianne and went back.

Moonlight poured through the window into Luana's room .She was sitting on her bed, hugging her knees. A soft breeze twirled around Luana's brown shiny hair making it move swiftly with the rhythm of the breeze.

She was just pretending to be okay in front of Phillip and Marianne but she was mournful inside. She couldn't sleep. endless trails of tears escaped from her eyes , making her cheeks wet.

She hid herself beneath the silky moonlight falling asleep because she was exhausted and distressed.

''Luana ,Lune, Lune ,Luana ,Lune, Luney ,Luney ,Luana wake up ! Luana ,Lune ,Luana, Lulu,Luana ,Lune wake up ! sun is kissing your lazy bum . Wake uup ! '' Marianne shouted playfully while shaking Luana to wake up.

Luana was irritated by this never ending squeek. She pulled her coverlet up and covered up her whole body with that. That did not stop Marianne from teasing Luana. "Luana, Lune , Luana ,Luana ,Lune , Luana ,Lulu , Luney , Luana ,Lune '' Marianne continued her irritating song.

''Ugghh will you stop your song?'' Luana muffled ,Still covering herself up from her comfortable coverlet.

''Nu-uh , Not until you wake up'' with that Marianne continued to sing her annoying song.

''Go away'' Luana curled up beneath her coverlet.

''Is our Lune lazy ?'' Phillip entered to Luana's room while holding his morning tea cup.

''Yea she surely is sleepy'' Marianne said and she winked at Phillip telling him to join her song.

''Luana ,Lune .Luney ,Lulu Luana Lune Lune Luana lulu Luney Luana lulu Luana Lune ...'' Phillip and Marianne continued to sing.

Luana sat up being super irritated by their annoying song.

''Are you guys happy now? '' Lune asked

''Not yet'' Phillip answered.

''Dress up , we are starting your studies today , Meet me at the training grounds '' Marianne told and went outside with Phillip

''Training grounds? for studies ? what the hell '' Luana thought . Then some maids appeared with training cloths. Luana washed herself up and dressed up . Her maids accompanied her into the training grounds.

It was her first morning in the Mansion of her Grandfather, Phillip . Sun rays filtered through the greenery twigs of the trees painting each and everything in dreamy colours. Soft cool breezes danced through the leaves of trees making rustling sounds.

Marianne waved at Luana while shouting '' Get your lazy bum here quickly! ''

Luana's cheeks and ears went scarlet hearing that. Maids and other workers who were nearby laughed while covering their mouths which made Lunana even more embarrassed.

She quickned her phase towards the training grounds fearing Marianne will start to sing the song from morning while having flashback of it.

''Oi Lune-

''Shhh don't scream!'' Luana tried to cover Marianne's mouth with her hands while looking here and there to see whether any maids are bursting out because of laughing .

''Now let's get into business. Right, Lune aren't you curious about my identity ?''Marianne asked .

''I am'' Luana replied ''Who are you?''.

''Who am I ? There is no fun if I say this , guess it '' Marianne said while flipping his hair which was tied up in a ponytail.

Luana stared at Marianne's face. She had brown hair just like her Grandfather's. And she knew that marianne was definitely not an ordinary maid or a female worker at the mansion.

And her training clothes were made out of top quality cloth material which were super expensive and commoners could never afford those.

''Are you perhaps -

''Oh come on Lune , I can't believe you have never heard about me, It is kinda true that you have never met me before because I was away from the main country ,Doing something important for the past eight years . But how come you never heard about me ?'' Marianne said with a sad tone.

Luana was so confused at this point .First she was a stranger and then she was a maid after that Luana had her reasons to suspect her if she was really a maid because of her casual conversations with Phillip. And now she was saying something about a mission. Luana's eyes lit up .

''Aunt M?'' She asked

''Finally , I thought no one told you anything about me'' Marianne hugged her and spinned her around .
