Chapter 13 of chapter 8 Isabella revelation

While getting close to the big Hall. They start hearing sounds of music playing. 

Is lady Eleanor taking them to the Ball room but why? They had never be around when the white celebrate party before. They always stay mile away to look at them. But why Lady Eleanor bought them here.

"Now, you kids have to pick up the rubbish" she said and handle each one of them a bag to put the rubbish they picked from the floor. 

There were still people around and some having their meal on their table. 

"Start working now and don't you do anything silly because I will be watching" 

She take a seat while the children start doing the job given to them. While picking around, Isabella spotted some dump under a table. 

When she gets to the table, 

She bowed and said "my lords can you please excuse me to pick the rubbish under your table?" 

" Hm" she heard a sigh voice and lifted up to head but to her greatest surprise, it was the boy from the carriage. His beautiful charming eyes were staring at her like she was some kind of prey. He was damn looking charming. 

That day she couldn't picture his looks very well but now, staring at him in the same spot almost make her wanna piss.

The boy was staring continuously at her with no words out. Isabella blinks twice, trying to be sure if she was dreaming or in reality.  She wanted to run away but she can't. If Lady Eleanor saw her running away, she would be in trouble.

"Arthur, who is that?" Girl asked and stretch her head to the other side of the table. 

"Oh a slave black" the girl address. "What are you doing here?" The girl stormy asked.

Immediately, Isabella was back to reality. She stop gasping at the boy and turned her gaze at the girl speaking. She indeed beautiful and was dress in good looking dress. She hope someday she would wear something like that. 

"I ..am sorry my lords. I just want to pick the rubbish" she said nervously.

" Oh it you. The girl with blue eyes" the another boy stated. Isabella eyes moved to the boy. He was still good looking but not up the one close to her. She wonder why isn't he saying something but only staring at her like a lost sheep.

"You don't have to call me lord. Just call me Marcus and this is my sister Emily and Arthur," the boy pointed at the cold boy with no emotions in his face. "replied He's my best friend" the boy stated while smiling at her. At least, he seen friendly than the others in the table. 

"I'm.... Isabella" she stermmer, feeling a bit nervous. She just can't understand why the Arthur boy was staring so lustful at her like she wear something disgusting...

"Isabella? That's a lovely name. It just suit you with your blue eyes" 

She blushed, indeed the Marcus was really a nice boy. Different from the rest white kids she had meet before.

"Thank you milord" she bowed...

"Oh come on, I have told you my name Marcus not milord" 

If she referred him by his name, she would be in trouble since Lady Eleanor was around it would be risk to do that. Before she could say she can't address him by his name, she immediately cut short by Emily before any words can comes out...

"Just picked whatever you want to and get the hell out of here. Your sight irritated me" 

" Emily?" Marcus snapped at her. 

" What? She is just so dirty I can't stands her sight. Looking at her one time makes me want to throw up"  she complaints

While  Arthur seated quietly and was observing the black girl. 

" Okay Milady" she bow and pick what she wants. When she was about to leave.

"You seen frighten, why?" His cold voice asked. Making Isabella stands still in where she is. So, he can talk. She thought maybe he had lost his voice. 

He continues...

"I hate black like you. It also irritated me" he stated and turn his eyes away from her.

Emily on the other hand felt so happy of hearing this. That the young Duke was taking the same side with her. 

"You see, I told you she is irritating" Emily whispered to Marcus. "Even the young Duke found her to be irritating" 

Marcus didn't buy it. He knows Arthur was up to something. Yes he hates blacks but the way he was looking at her in the first place, tells something is up....

"She might be irritating to you guys but  beautiful to me" 

Isabella who couldn't turned from the state she is, Felt like a part of her was broke, She knows she's a slave and nothing more but did them had to remind her of her place? That isn't fair. She felt tears rolling from her cheeks and realized she was crying. Immediately, she wipes her tears and turned to them. 

"I am sorry for irritating you my lords. Please forgive me" she bowed and left.

" Was that necessary for you to join Emily intimidating her?" Marcus asked, staring at the Arthur who seen not bother in what he just did. 

In fact, he find it pleasant and continue his meal.

"Why scolding Arthur? Isn't her that irritating to your eyes? I guess you're blind then" 

" Will you shut up Emily!" Marcus snapped angrily. " Don't you forget where you also come from. Maybe the fancy dress had gotten into to your head that makes you forget your place." 

" Arthur, are you seeing what Marcus is saying to me?"

The boy who was feeding on his food stops. 

"Well from what i know he's your brother and had the right to scolded you. That's no of my business" he continues his food. 

" I hate the both of you!" Emily stood and run out of  the hall. 

"Do you have to scolded her?" Arthur asked, after Emily left. 

" For what I remember, she's my sister and I have the right to scold her just like you stated" 

" Oh, I said that?" 

Marcus rolls his eyes. " Then, we had to run after her and apologize"

" Hmm, guess today is the day of grace. Now, tell me what you are up to with the black girl?" 

" Don't you think I'm in her, I will never be into a black slave. I rather be in to your sister than a black in the street" 

" My sister?! Don't you try it to come close to her?" Marcus warned.

Arthur laughed, Marcus is surely a protective brother. 

"If you continue this way with her, she would end up unmarried and the blames will be on you"

" She will get married but as far it isn't you, I will be fine with that"

" Why? Am I not good looking enough for your sister?" Arthur teased. At least, that have gotten Marcus mind away from what he was going to ask him... The black girl seem to draws his attention. It started from the first day he spotted her in the mist of the children. She was the only who stands out to be different. 

Her eyes sparkling eyes catch his attention. Since them that picture always replay in his head. Makes he wonder who the hell was her.

After the children had picked up all the garbage in the Hall. Lady Eleanor direct them to where to burn the trash. 

The children obediently pack all the garbage together and light it up.  While some of them was asked to go back into the Hall to look for more dirt. 

Isabella among the ones instructed back into the Hall. On their way, a girl walking side with Isabella asked.

"I saw you talking to the new kids, wat are you discussing about with them?" 

" Nothing, they are just asking if I have finish picking what I want" Isabella answered. 

" Are you sure? Because I noticed you were crying after finish discussing with them or you want to say the picking of the trash makes you cry"

Isabella wipe her eyes at her." You don't have to lie, I see it all. They were abusing you. It's was clear"  

Isabella felt sad, indeed the words hurt her but she chose to ignored it. They are not the first white kids that have abuse her either are them going to be the last.

Just that moment, a girl bounce on her. And them both fall on the ground. Just when she was going to hit her and scolds her, she saw it was a white kid and no other than Emily

"You dirty thing! How dare you!"
