The sun has risen
Said by a girl who has just awoken from her slumber
she reached the bell from her left side and shook it a few times *ring* *ring*
Someone opened the door… It was the maid. She was holding a basin filled with warm water. After a few moments, a few maids entered the room and assisted the girl get dressed. The girl smiled brightly and said “thank you” and so, the maids smiled back.
I shall get going
Said the girl
The maids then assisted the girl to go to the dining room.
“Good morning Cyria!”
Said by the lovingly looking woman who was sitting at the dining table as the girl entered the room
“good morning Mom!”
She replied
cyria seated next to her mom and they chatted a bit after a few minutes
a man and a boy entered the room
good morning my lord
good morning celion
the mother greeted them with a warm smile
cyria did so too
good morning brother
good morning father
she smiled while saying
the father and brother greeted as well and sitted at their designated sits
the maids had entered the dinning room and started serving food
they chatted while doing so...
"how's the problem with the marquis?"
asked the mother
"oh it went well! the marquis said he will deal with it after i do something for him"
said the count (father)
"do something for him? and what was asked?"
asked mother
"hmm ? well it was quite strange he asked me to go and fetch some paperwork from a mansion in the south"
said the father
"how strange.....well as long as your safe its fine!"
said the mother
as they finished their conversation they already finished eating
the father said that he'll leave by the next morning and so the kids wished father goodluck and left the room and start going their ways
cyria likes book the most she always goes to the library after eating
and so does in the morning her room itself is a library hut that's not enough for a bookworn like cyria she collected lots of book from the south to north and to the west.
she's a very nice kid but not like other nobles she doesn't use people to her advantage rather she treats them like family that's why all the workers in the mansion can do thing quite freely.
her family is the same as her they're rather too kind for a noble
her father is quite naive her mother is quite the smart one her brother is a talented swordsman she loves them very much.
but she spends more time for her books she has a vast knowledge due to reading books she learns the language just so she can read it
she's reading a book called a thousand lives it was a book from the west
its about a girl who had more than a thousand lives she had adventures by adventures hy adventures at every life but the ending was quite tragic
at her last life she was betrayed by her lover who was with her from the very start he knows her secret.......
cyria cried the moment that happened but she suddenly felt a pain in her hand..she had a paper cut in which caused her book to have not only blood on it but tears too she stood up and find a clip and putted it out in the sun she sweeped her tears and asked for a maid to treat her.
after that she left and asked the maid to put the book back after it dries
as they left the book suddenly shined at the same time cyria
felt a sharp pain in her heart that made her faint.
she awoke around midnight her mother was sleeping in the rocking chair
she stood up quitely to have a drink of water she took a flint and lantern and left her room and start walking at the corridor.
it was silent you can hear the owls and the air at the same time
as she was walking she saw a opened door she carefully opened the door as not to make a noise..it was the library she was in the library....
she took a look to see if there's anything wrong..there was nothin nor no one she gonna go close the door and keep walking but before she could do that something shoned from outside it was the book which is hanging..she took the book and the moment she touched it.
words flew through the air she was shocked the letters gattered around her and covered her body cyria couldn't do anything and before she could do so she lost her conciousness
and by the morning she woke up she couldn't remember what happened at the mornin and no one did know it was like a dream to her.
MARQUIS AND COUNT'S PROBLEM
the count was silently sitting and doing his work at his office when a sudden knock was heard the
who is it?
asked the count
"it is i the messenger my lord"
"you can come in"
said the count
the messenger opened the door he was quite nervous
"what is it you need?"
asked the count
"there seems to be a problem at the border and they're saying to give one son of every house"
WHAT? BUT MY CHILD IS BUT A 10 YEARS OLD!!
Said the count
the count calmed down...
"Get my wife!"
the count said
the countess entered the room with a rather heavy atmosphere
"what's the problem my dear?"
asked the countess
and so the count explained the countess we're outraged by what she had heard she said to talk about it to the marquis and so they agreed on what to do..
CHAPTER END
its morning again....
said by cyria
just like before she took the bell from the drawer but this time she didn't ring it.
it was her daily routine to wake up and ring the bell get ready eat and chat with her family
she was known as the bright lady of house niasse she was a bookworn
and as you know bookworms are quite a homely people she was almost never seen in a single ball nor a tea party rather she was famous in their land.
as she awoke something changed her day the book she was reading yesterday suddenly came into mind. and so she ranged the bell after thinking and didn't come to eat with her family rather she got straight to the library and was in a hurry of finding the book
where is the book?
cyria asked
"what book my lady?"
asked the maid
the book i was reading yesterday!
said cyria
"oh! wait a second my lady I'll get it for you"
said the maid
cyria sitted down waiting for the maid to come she was tapping her shies as if she can't wait to read it.
then as she waited she wondered "why am i hurriedly finding that book?"
before she could think farther from it the maid has already came back and so her enthusiasm to read it too.
when she opened the book the first pages till the page she readed it was gone the words dissapeared cyria was surprised she turned the pages over and over again to check if she saw it right
she thought "its impossible for anyone to remove the words all of my books are protected with magic and no one would do such a thing how?! "
she closed the book and stood up she left the library she bought the book with her too she thought she'll know who did it when if she bought it with her but 3 days passed and nothing happened she was relieved that no one was doing something bad but at the same time her curiosity grew stronger for the book..
she was gonna ask her father to find the author but she remembered he had gone somewhere so she she asked her mother
mom! will you please kindly help me find the writer of this book?
asked cyria
oh my dear bookworm! a book you say? tell me the name
said the mother
it is called a thousand lives! mother
said cyria
oh my! what an interesting name! a thousand lives you say if i remember right its the book from the west your father gave you if its about that book he just found it in the street in a abandoned countryside!
said mother
but why are you asking about the book?
asked mother
oh! its becauae its a intresting story and i wanted to meet the writer but anyway
said cyria while nervously smiling
is mother saying that..father just took it? but how could a countryside be abandoned?
asked cyria
fufufu well i don't know about that my bookworm
mother patted cyria while saying so
after that the countess left leaving the bookworm cyria even more curious than before
cyria was the kind of kid who has a lot of enthusiasm she was born a bookworm the kind of kid who was bright and as she a "bookworm"
to not know anything about a author for a book she's intrested in is making her curiosity grew more and more but as she no clue what to do next so she decided to just finish the whole book before everything dissapears.
after a few hours of reading she had forgotten of the problem she had and was intrigued of the concept of the story she has already finished it but she was still planning to read another book that has the same concept as a thousand lives she did found several ones but it didn't have
the spark she was looking for.
and so she was determined to to find a similar book but before she could do it someone knocked at the door
my dear? its already night and you didn't even eat yet open the door and eat then go back to sleep continue to do what your doing later on
said mother
cyria paused before answering
.......
......
.....
yes mother! I'll do as you say
said cyria
the countess opend the door holding a tray filled with food she smiled while entering and sat beside cyria
what is my bookworn so fixated on? that she didn't eat with us in the morning?
asked mother
it was a new book i was reading mother!!
said by cyria
a book? oh my oh my! it seems my little bookworn has found something intresting
the countess touched her nose with a little boop and smiled
would you tell me what is the book about my dear?
said mother
yes sure! why not mother!
cyria said with a sparkle in her eyes
and as so on she said everything about the book excluding about how the pages dissapeared
she fall asleep as she was telling about the book
CHAPTER END
"Ah it's morning again...."
said cyria..
as she sat in her bed she notice noises outside
her eyes brightned and said
"FATHER!!!
Father is home!!"
said cyria
cyria hurriedly took the bell and ranged it
and so the maids starts to enter
"Is it father!?"
asked cyria
cyria said with a lot of anticipation
"yes my lady it is the the count"
replied the maid.
after so..cyria got up and ask the maid to hurriedly dress her up with the excitement she can't contain the maids happily followed her orders
and after so cyria runned out the door of course cyria didn't forget about the book and cyria runned the maids happily looked at her as she runned
as cyria was running to the dining room she suddenly remembered running is against the ettiquete it is called unladylike even though cyria can do anything in the manor cyria always follows the rules she made and one of them is running cyria blushed and slowed down.
she starts to walk Elegantly once again.
cyria has reached the dining room
she opened the door and saw her family she did notice that no maid is around and that she was more earlier to arrive at the dining room than usual meaning no one should be in the room then there's only one meaning something bad has arise
"Good morning father mother and brother!!"
she replied
they greeted too
cyria sat at her sit wondering what might be the problem
"Haaaaah!"
sighed the count
"what might be the problem father?"
asked cyria
the room was filled with silent the countesss was calm as always the count looked trouble and both of the siblings looked confused
".......the marquis.. tricked me"
said the count
"tricked? count you need to be specific please don't beat around the bush"
said the countess
"remember when.. the marquis ask me a task? "
replied the count
" yes i do my dear"
replied the countesss
" the paper he ask me to take was... papers for a rebellion..."
replied the count
"A REBELLION!?!?"
yelled cyria and celion
the countess was trembling both cyria and celion was stunned because they have never seen their mother get angry
"what do you mean my lord?"
she asked as her mouth was quivering and her body was trembling
"my dear.. we are framed of rebelling.. but i bought us time we can run away! "
replied the count
the countesss sighed
" my dear.. we can't, the only thing we could do is send our children away and stay here to buy them time"
said the countess
the room was filled with silence once again the count and countesss we're thinking while the siblings we're confused and scared by what they have heard
"mom.. can i go to my room? I'll be back.."
said cyria
"me too mom!! we'll be back! "
said celion as he smiles like nothing's wrong
"ok my dears"
smiled the countess
as the siblings left the room the realization of them dying hitted them
they agreed to simply take their most cherish things and came back to the dining room
they once again entered the dining room the air was tense
"oh! welcome back my dears"
smiled the count and countesss
the siblings smiled as they sat
" we have decided to fight back for our innocence! your Father will talk to the king, and mother will he here with you..if father doesn't comes back we must prepare our things! but if father returns we still need to be guarded understood?"
said the countesss
the siblings noded
as they were discussing someone knocked
"my lady? my lord?"
a maid said from the other side of the door
"yes? what do you need? "
the countesss replied
"ma'am please let us help you!!"
answered the maid
the servants couldn't help but feel pity for the family who was kind enough to treat them like a family and so they have planned to help the family
but as the countesss and count refused to accept the help, since they work to have food in their tables it will make no sense if they just throw it away like that
Instead the count offered for them to just have a good life
the servants we're sad cause they know themselves he maybe a count but he has a heart of a kind person
that he became count because not of his brilliance but his kind heart
and so the count became the heart while the countesss became the brain
knowing their predictable decision they got worried.
