chapter 24 : vincent family

at the arbento estate, the duke was try finish his job when suddenly he hear a knock on his door.

"enter," say the duke as stella enter the room, that make the duke slightly suprise since the last time the girl come to her office is when the girl ask to be an adventurer.

"so, do you need something, stella, ?" ask the duke to the girl, as the duke already knew the reason why jer come to his office.

"well, i need a favor to ask, if you don't mind, ?" ask stella who was a little nervous.

"if that something within my power, than you can ask for it," say the duke with confident as he can do almost anything with his authority.

"then i need your help so i can go to the archduke estate where his daughter was located, so i can healed her," say stella to the man who look at stella with shock expresion.

"his daughter you say, you mean his sick daughter, ?" ask the duke for a confirmation which stella nod.

"stella, i know in the report that ergi submit to me that you have an ability to heal people, but this illness is not something that a healing magic can do," say the duke who remember how sad the archduke when his daughter was born blind.

she was really adorable daughter with a white snow hair and light purple colour on her upper eye and blue colour on her bottem, the household was overjoy when the archduchess give birth to her, but soon as time passed, they realise that the girl was acting really strange, when the maid try to give the girl her food by feeding her, the girl didn't open her mouth until the spoon was closed to her lips.

of course they thought that because the girl is still baby that was a passed, but as time passed the girl was doing something weird like she can't she anything when sometime she bump into someone.

at that time the maid become worry and report this to the archduke and archduchess, so they call the best doctor in the kingdom to treat their daughter, at that time the parent hope that her daughter will be better, but the doctor shoke his head, and say that he can't do anything to help the girl and told them that she was blind from birth.

the parent were crying at that time cause their precious daughter was blind, so it mean that her daughter never saw or know the face of her mother and father.

so the father itself try to find the best magician and even ask the neighborhood country to help their daughter but the result were none, their daughter still can't see until now when she already reach the age of 7, but nothingless their daughter grow into a beautiful kids, with a lot of wisdom.

'when everyone heard the news, the hold kingdom was on a riot since the royal family and the archduke make an engagement for both of them, but the engagement was broken off, since they know that the archduke daughter was blind and they don't want their son to be engage to a blind girl even if the girl was from an high rank aristocratic that was one step below the royal family itself,' though duke arbento who still remember those memory, the archduke family lose a lot of support but they refuse to bow their head since their daughter did nothing wrong. 

'maybe stella can help her,' though the duke who remember his friend face that was filled with pain, at that time the duke couldn't help but feeling guilty as he can't do anything to help him.

"Stella auburt, i'm gonna ask you this question and i want you to give me an honest answer, and if i find a single lied or hesitate on the word you spoke, then i would not permit you from going to the archduke estate and i will bestow you a punishment if you even dare to try something, do you understand, ?" Ask the duke to stella who nod vigorously

"Good, then, can you really cure his daughter, ?" Ask the duke to stella.

"Yes," say stella with confident in the eye of the duke as he doesn't hear any lied on her word.

At that moment, the duke quickly get up from his seat, "call the head butler, tell him i'm going out for a while," say the duke as he quickly went toward the archduke vincent household with stella.

When they reach their destination, stella couldn't help but look at the window as she sticking out her tongue and mock the guard who doesn't let her in before, "bastard," say stella to the guard who at that time look at stella angrily before stella sit back on her sit.

At that time, duke arbento and stella was waiting in the living room while stella was eating a cake that was prepared by the maid to the duke and stella.

Suddenly 3 figures enter the room, the first one, is a tall man with a white hair and blue eye, second is a woman with blond hair and purple eye, and lastly a kid that look the same age as barton with blond hair and purple eye that resemebles the woman.

"long timo no see, philif, sorry that we couldn't visit sooner, we have a lot of thing to do especially after the war," say the archduke who was shake hand with duke.

"there no problem, jeremy, i know you had a hard time this past years," say the duke to the arcduke, he has a white hair with a blue color eye.

"and good day for you to as well, lecia," say the duke to the women beside the arcduke, she has a blonde long hair with a brown color eye.

"good day for you as well duke philif," say the arcduchess.
