"Hoaaaam"

"Miss, you have to get up soon. Lady Jasmine and Lord Javier are waiting for you in the garden" Said Emily, Sia's personal servant.

"What ?? Jasmine and Javier are coming? Huh, troublesome."

"I'll prepare the dress and breakfast, miss"

"Hm" replied Sia briefly.

That beautiful red-haired girl is named Anastasia De Eustine, maybe you can call her Sia or Anastasia or whatever. She's the second daughter of the Earl Eustine family. His father is Emilio De Eustine, his mother is Diane De Eustine, and his cursed brother Anastacius De Eustine.

Eustine's family garden

"Siaaaaaa!" Jasmine shouted with a sharp gaze.

Jasmine is the daughter of the Earl Ingrid family, Jasmine De Ingrid. Her black hair and eyes made her look elegant, but not every time she met Anastasia.

"Good morning Lady Eustine" Warm greeting from Javier De Cyrill.

Javier is the only male friend that Sia has, among the three of them, only Javier is the son of Marquess. The two of them are Sia's LASTEST best friends ever.

"What are you doing here?" Upset the red haired girl while walking towards the two of them.

"I heard that the Duke is having a birthday party for his son tonight. You two are coming?" Jasmine asked in an interrogating tone.

"Maybe I'll come" Brief Javier.

"Drain?" Jasmine asked again.

"Of course not" replied Sia casually while drinking tea.

"Siaa, why don't you come?"

"Why should I go with Jasmine?"

"I can't even do a thing, Javier! Help me persuade him!" Sharp Jasmine.

"I don't want to go to that party. All clear, it's because Duke Etienne's son who is known to be cruel and ruthless, he killed traitors mercilessly, arghh. MONSTER ETIENNE is his nickname. He once massacred a villager in the far north of Eustonia without mercy from parents to children. And God only knows if I will survive if I go to his birthday party. " Inner Sia

In the midst of their boring conversation, suddenly the four seasons half-demon, Anastacius came over.

"What's this? I'll join in" he said mockingly at Sia.

"Ah, it turns out to be Lord Eustine, good morning Lord" Jasmine greeted happily as if she had found a cunning way to persuade Sia.

"Good morning Lord Eustine" added Javier.

What's with the temperature near here, something suspicious is bound to happen.

\*

Duke Etienne's residence

Sia sighed "Huh, I turned out to be too" Annoyed the 20 year old girl to herself.

"Sia, have fun, brother will support you"

"Of course" Anastasia replied with a wry smile on her face.

The hustle and bustle of this place really annoyed him, plus Lady Earl Illona, ​​with her mouth and demeaning other people at this party made Sia want to stop her.

plakk....

Sia wiped her hand "Ah sorry Lady Illona, ​​my hand slipped until it hit your face" Sia quipped.

"What are you doing, are you a noble ?! Why don't you know the manners like a villager!" Sharp Iris De Illona. Beautiful woman but her heart is like a black stone.

"What's the difference between me and you, Lady Illona? You even bully this Lady on the birthday of Duke Etienne's son, you fox doesn't know yourself" Sia said, not wanting to lose, showing a sarcastic face.

"W-w-what, what are you doing? !!"

"Never mind. Lady you stand up, don't be afraid of this evil witch"

"Th-thank you lady, excuse me." The brown-haired girl left, holding her cheek due to Iris's slap.

All pairs of eyes were fixed on Lady Illona, ​​The face of the defeat of the woman who was standing in front of Sia was clearly visible. Shame and annoyance combined in Iris's feelings.

Anastasia immediately went away from the presence of the nobles, preferring to be alone on the second floor balcony. He climbed the tree near the balcony. Without him knowing it, someone had been following him.

The man approached Sia "Lady Eustine, good night" Greetings accompanied by a smile from a man who knows who it is.

The man in the black coat and combined with his black hair, and blue eyes, the light from inside the room shone on him making him look like PRINCE NIGHT.

"Ah, good night Lord. Who are you?" Sia asked in surprise.

"May I join in sitting on that tree?" Please the black haired man.

Sia curled her cheeks "You can't! I got it first"

"Hahahaha, Lady you are cute"

"What?"

"It's okay" said the man as he climbed into the tree and sat beside Sia.

Silence, the word for the two of them.

"Puft, hahahaha" laughed the man who was sitting beside Sia.

"Lord?"

"Why?"

"You are crazy?"

"Lord?"

"Why?"

"You are crazy?"

***

"Huh ?!, Lady you insult me?"

"No, because you follow me and greet me and then sit next to me and laugh without being funny" Sia explained.

"Puft" This time the strange man was holding back his laughter for no apparent reason. Then the black-haired man came down from the tree and stretched out his hand "Do I need to help Lady down? Don't want to do that? Even though I was kind enough to give my hand to help Lady" a sad expression appeared on his face as he puffed his cheeks.

"Ahhh, cute I'm not strong" thought the girl as she reached out her hand to greet the man's hand.

Hup...

"Okay then, I'll go first Lady"

"Ah wait!"

"What is your name?"

"I will not tell my name"

Sia was disappointed because she didn't get anything from that strange person, even though she was already curious.

"Lian"

"What??"

"A nickname that only the two of us know" said the man, putting his finger on his lips and winking his right eye.

Sia smiled in agreement.

Not long after Lian's departure, someone approached Sia with hesitant steps. Slowly the girl who had been holding her dress appeared to Sia, the girl hesitated to open her mouth "Excuse me Lady Eustine, I want to thank you for helping me earlier. I don't know what kind of favor to repay you, I just come from the Baron family, my name is Liones De Millan "

Sia was just silent while watching the girl, remembering who the girl was standing in front of him.

"Ah you, I remember, you're the lady who was slapped by Iris right. Hmm, you don't need to be thankful, let's just say you're lucky"

"I am indebted to you Lady Eustine, I will be your loyal personal servant, please accept me, I do not need to be paid, it is enough to serve Lady alone to make me happy" With all the hope the girl said to Sia accept it.

"Oh, all right. From tomorrow you can work"

The lady raised her head "Fine Madame"

***

The dance party is about to start, each guest is looking for their own partner, Javier invites Jasmine to dance together. Looks like the nobles began to dance gracefully, rare by step, movement by movement all very perfect.

The man's step approached Anastasia who was standing by the window, the man saluted and invited Sia to dance. Suddenly the red-haired girl's sister came over, without further ado Anastacius stopped the silence between the two of them "Why doesn't my beloved sister want to dance with her future fiancé? You should be getting closer because soon you'll be engaged"

Sia glared at Derick "Ck, alright"

Time passed, like Cinderella's story, Anastasia had to go home before she was sleepy and fell asleep at the residence of Duke Etienne.

Sia rushed to find her brother who was lost as if swallowed by the earth, Javier and Jasmine. "Where are they all ?? Wait! Where am I ?!" Instantly the girl's heart exercised, dag-dig-dug "This is not my room! Where am I now? !!"

Klek...

The sound of the door opening. Slowly a man wearing black clothes and a towel on his head approached Anastasia.

Sia suddenly surprised "Eh? You!"

"Lady Sia, it turns out you are awake" The man said with a warm and sweet smile and his kitten-like attitude approached his mother "Ah sorry, I'll bring breakfast for you"

Sia just stunned to see the kitten's "Aaaaaa cute" behavior

***

Anastasia lay back on the bed, looking around the room that doesn't belong to anyone. Every now and then the girl paced the door to the room, and then lay back down on the bed, "Wow, nice room. But, that man took so long, is he a snail or is he a cat?"

The sound of the man's footsteps began to approach, slowly began to open the room door after returning to bring food from the kitchen. A charming morning welcome from a Lian whom Sia met on the balcony that evening. "Sorry to wait a long time Lady, I have brought food for you, please Lady open your mouth. Aaaa" he said as he handed me a spoonful of breakfast which was still warm.

Anastasia was confused, whether to accept or reject. "Should I refuse an angel's offer?" Inner Sia. The reflection of the light made Lian glow with her black hair in tune with her clothes. "A pathetic gaze waiting for an answer, his white hands that hold the spoon, his thin lips, and his hair that is still messy, he is Lian, the person who stood in front of me? Is he a kitten demon? Kawaii" The girl thought again. While the man in front of him was tired waiting for Sia to open his mouth, but his hands were still straight, not shaking in the slightest.

Anastasia opens her mouth "Aaa"

A happy gaze and a smile on her lips made Sia smile too. Without realizing that the girl forgot something important.

The red-haired girl devoured the food, happily Sia asked Lian who was clearing the plate "Umm, Lian, what happened last night? Why could I be here? And where is this?"

"Ah, Lady, sorry not to tell you from the start. Actually, Lady fell asleep at the birthday party of the son of Duke Etienne last night, because I was sad to see Lady who was fast asleep on the balcony, so I brought Lady home with me" he explained.

"Asleep ?! WHAT !!! Wait a minute, what did you do with me last night? !!!!"

Lian smiled "You mean ????"

"Y-you didn't do anything to me, did you?"

"Of course not, I don't want you to be said to be a cheap woman or a trash woman, because I really like Lady, I don't want to lose Lady, I-I don't want ..." Her tears slowly dripped, she started to lower her head down. Sia spontaneously hugged him tightly while patting his back, "Calm down, I'm happy to meet this kind and cute Lian. Haha, it turns out that Lian is a crybaby, like a child whose mother left him, Lian's side is Sia, so why should Lian cry?" Sia's efforts paid off, like a puppy obeying his master's orders, the man's tears began to stop, as he rubbed his eyes with his sleeve, he said, "Will you always stay by Lian's side? It's not like a mother who wasted Lian as a child, and not. like other noble women who don't want to be engaged to Lian at all? " Sia nodded in agreement with his words, it was really unusual to see a side of a Lian who was fragile like this.
