Chapter 9
With a slightly embarrassed face, I was worried that she might find my action insulting. After all, I did learn that people with high status always sees things in a different way.
“Laughing at others is not a good attitude at all. It was rude of you Miss”
Her eyes shows a bit of annoyance. Oh no, she really did think of it that way… it would be bad…
“I don’t mean it that way… I was just… surprised to see other person her. And… I smiled because I find you adorable… sorry if it leads to a misunderstanding…”
With her acting embarrassed, so do I… I can understand why she was worried like that. After all, no one would want anyone to see them do things as that… specially if you are a rich person. Although that case is different if you are close with that person.
“You find it cute?”
She asked as if I said things that as out of the world. Slightly nodding my head, I hear her laughter forming. Wow… that was cute too. She looks like a living doll if I may say
“Aren’t you interesting?” she giggles as she stand up to have her way to where I was
“I am Sylphia Klein. It is nice meeting you. You are…?”
With her hands showing, do they usually great someone this way?
“Lea Krui Lazarus. You can just call me Lea”
I stated as I hold her hand to shake it. She smiled at me like a bright kid. And not knowing about who she really was, I had no idea that the fact that I was trying to stay low and avoid any problem in here would be ruined by just doing this. Just… who would have thought that she was well known that everyone in this place knows her name?
“Sylphia, there you are. We have been looking for you. Don’t you know that Sir Klein would definitely kill us if he ever know that you run away without notice again?”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Two men in black appeared as they had a friendly tone with Sylphia.
“Ah, and who is that fool that would tell her guard that she would run away?”
“Ah, you should really care about the life of your guards! It is not like we are nobody for you. Just at least give importance to our life… will you?”
Having that conversation, they do looks close and all. But… what kind of a person is she anyway?
“Arggg”
Now she is acting not so lady like. It was indeed a surprise to see. Just who would even imagine that a person like her would act in that way. The guard do looks problematic in dealing with her. Just… who is she anyway?
“Sylphia, you should now go back to the hall”
“But I don’t want to. Some girls would just look at me that way and I hate it. It makes me wanna pull their eyes off…”
Her last sentence was in a whisper tone that I had no chance to clearly hear it
“Just bear with it for today Sylphia. It wills purely end without you even noticing”
“You always say that so I won’t believe you. Liar”
Hiding behind my back, she looks like a child trying to get out of the scolding her parents would give.
“Lea they are trying to hurt me. Look, they are talking a step forward to come and get me~”
Holding my arms as she tried to make me her shield, I had no idea of what I should do. Isn’t it her who was being stubborn?
It looks to me that the two mad was just doing their job and that is. But…
“and who is she?”
They asked full of curiosity on what my identity is. For someone who wa guarding her, they do have the rights to be wary of anyone who would be with her even for just a small while
“She is soon to be my friend”
“Soon to your friend?”
Even I was surprised to the words that she said. What does she mean by that?
Clinging her hands on my arm. She let out a giggle as she seems to be having fun. That leaves me with a confused face not knowing what is really happening.
I really don’t want to go back but it seems like I can do nothing about that.
“So um, can I call you Lea?”
She again started the conversation as we was back to the hall.
“Sure”
That was the only thing I can say. Who knows what would happen if I make her my enemy. I wonder if her guards would dispose me over that kind of matter.
“Then you can call me Sylphia”
“Okay, Sylphia”
That seems to be enough for her. As the light coming from the central hall can be seen, countless numbers of eyes was looking at us.
“Hah, here we go again with them looking at me”
Right… why would they look at me. Surely they are looking at her. With her beauty and charm, none would ever dare not look at her. It was as if her whole image is enough to catch you attention.
But to my surprise, there was a shiver running up my spine. Why don’t I real nice about it? This very same feeling… I have felt it before..
‘Isn’t she the girl with no parents?’
‘Yes, I even heard they abandoned her in her grandmother’s house’
‘Maybe she was cursed’
‘Yes, maybe that seems to be the case’
‘Even so, I don’t want to be socialized with her’
‘Yes, what if we get that curse too!’
‘I don’t want to be like that. Let’s not go near wherever she is’
Even if other people are nice to me, those who are not happy to see me around is also not few. After all, my family circumstance is not your normal family.
No matter what kindness you shown to them… if they have already closed their mind… there is nothing else you can ever do. After.. Not all people are kind in heart. There are only few… who is true and genuine to you.
But… why do I feel that kind of gaze… it’s been a long time since I had that kind of feeling. Even so… it wasn’t any good no matter how you look at it.
Looking at the one beside me, her eyes wasn’t as glimmer as what it was a while ago. Sylphia… she have the different vibes than what she had before. Her majestic aura can be seen. You can say that she was having all the features you are looking for to be attracted to her. But…
That gaze… is it just me? But… why do it seems to be hold towards… her?
But… why?
