Short Stories
...|Death Cycle|...
..."Useless, useless, useless" laying on the floor she chanted repeatedly "no matter how hard i try its useless"...
Lifelessly laying on the ground with her eyes no longer alive "Why.. why am i still alive..?"
Yearning for death that is unknown wether that day will come...
"Its all useless struggle.. all useless.." chanting again and again
"Eveything... its useless" the only thing she could thought of is dying
"I wanna die! Why wont you let me die?!" Crying out loud for death to come..
"All i want is to die yet why can't i..?" Begging for something impossible
Then one time someone asked her "Many others want to live but why are you desperately begging for death?"
She shooked her head and lay on the ground as she softly spoke "Living is tiring you know"
The other then bend on their knee and cover her with an umbrella
"Why? You haven't seen everything yet"
She snicker at the person's statement and said "if you were me you would feel the same"
Confused the other person didn't say anything and stand up "i may not but try to enjoy something and you'll see the worth of life" with that the person left
She who was left continued to lay on the ground looking at the setting sun "Enjoy.. huh"
With nothing to do she tried to enjoy life but..
"This sucks.. i dont even know why i'm doing this" she laughed at herself for being stupid
"What's so good about living anyway?" Again she returned to her home
"My lady how was your vacation?" The butler asked her
"Forget it.. its not even worth to call it a vacation" without saying anything the butler quietly took her things
"Well thats too bad, then i shall excuse myself my lady"
She went to her room and lay on the bed
Her boredom aroused once again
"I wonder which book should i read"
Unlike any other ladies who likes romance and warm stories.. she prefer the novels about crimes, mysteries, thriller, murder and stuff
With her unusual taste she doesn't have friends and would usually lock herself in her room
Knock knock
"My lady?" The maid's voice called out from the other side
"Come in" the maid came in and brought her meal on the side table of her bed then left
She who was busy reading a book of "The Lost Sea" has been in thought for a moment and then read it again
'What kind of crap is this?' She thought as she read the novel
"And then apollio pulled Jusmine to his side.. "Jusmine its me apollio! Cant you remember me?" Apollio asked as she hugged jusmine"
'This dude is creepy.. how can she ask a girl like that while he hugs her?! How do you expect her to reply?!"
"Apollio? Is that you?!" Jusmine cried as she hugged back apollio"
She gritted her teeth in annoyance 'Tch! I bought and read this book for i thought its gonna be interesting but what's with this nonsense?!'
Olivia throw the book away as she thought 'those people who love such nonsense got no sense after all!' She stomp on the book several times as another person came inside her room without knocking
"My my aren't you a bit cruel to the book?" He picked up the book which she threw and stomped over earlier
"Books are precious my lady so please be gentle with them no matter how you dislike it" he said as he wipe and put away the dust on the book
"You- who said you could enter?! And without knocking for permission that is!" She annoyingly shouted as she was already in a bad mood
"Oh my apologies for my rudeness milady.." the gentleman softly spoke as he bent down a little when he looked at his watch
"Oh my i'm late for 5 minutes already?" The gentleman stand straight and apologized to the lady
"My apologies my lady.. i shall introduce myself another time formally but for now i shall excuse myself if i may milady" and with that he left
" 'If i may' my foot tch! Who said he could enter and leave just like this is his house?!"
"My lady! There you are!" Maids came rushing to her room after a few seconds with the thing needed for her to dress up
'I dont really like how they doll me up so effortly when they could just do it simply'
Silently letting them do to doll her up olivia then stand on the mirror and look at her reflection
"Oh my! Isn't our young lady so beautiful?!"
"I agree! Gosh! Just look at her perfect figure and features!"
"What are you talking about?! Its called natural beauty alright!"
The maids talk to themselves as olivia looked at her reflection with a tired eyes 'What's so good about being pretty like a doll?'
Then someone knocked
The maids came rushing to the door and said "shh~! The young lady is admiring her beauty!"
'You dont mean "Your Admiring her beauty" are you?' The butler shook his head
"Milady Marquis Li Vendri has came to visit"
'EH~!'
'Head butler you should have gaved my lady more time!'
'Yes~ thats right!'
"Huh?"
"Geez butler Rain you really dont know how to read the room"
"I did read it.. and it says its alright"
The maids whispered to the butler who only smiled in return
olivia looked away from the mirror and approached the door and silently walked to the sitting hall
"Sigh~ milady is such a charming girl yet why does she have eyes that's seem to be tired of the world?" A maid said in sigh
"You better not find out" the butler mysteriously smiled and walked behind their young lady
"Well that being said! Isn't the head butler so handsome?!"
"I heard he's old already"
"Old? With that face?! Are you kidding?! He dont look like it at all!"
The maids continued to chat by themselves when the head maid approached them "what are you doing dilly dallying in the middle of the day?"
"Mrs. Shaley! We're so sorry! We'll do our work now!" Rushing to run the maids go
"Young people nowadays tsk tsk" mrs. Shaley tsked as she went back to her work
...**...
"Greetings Marquiz Li Vendri, its an honour to have you here"
"Oh no its us who should be greatful to you Count Exclianter" the old man rubbed his beard and looked around
"Anyway.. this is my son" another guy showed from behind
'This guy..'
"Sorry for my late introduction countess, my name is Lucian Li Vendri" the man greets as he took off his hat
'I dont know who he is but i think i'm familiar with him'
Seeing olivia's puzzled look lucian grin "my lady perhaps you have something to say?" Olivia who's taken aback from his sentence faked a cough and talk
"Ahem! My apologies Marquiz, what have you come for to my humble estate?" The nobles sat down to talk
"Well you see, i would like to have the countess to consider our deal about the Anter's new product release"
'That and he brought his son here? Interesting marquis' olivia take a sip of her tea
"Oh? What about it?"
"About the investment can you think about it and-"
'I think i know why he brought his son here'
"What do you think countess?" Marquiz Li Vendri sweats as he talked
'I guess she wasn't called the devil's incarnation for nothing.. even her aura is frightening'
"So what are you proposing maquiz? You cant expect me to invest in a company with unstable income"
The marquiz's eyes shone as she said that 'I knew she'd asked!'
"That's why i brought my son-!"
"That's why you brought your son here to propose a marriange and we'll both gain same benefits.. you will earn my investment and i, will be able to climb my rank up and have more access to the high society is that it?" The shocked marquiz trembled
'If it was any other lady she'd sure agreed to it probably..' olivia looked and observed Lucian, the Marquiz son and more likely his heir
A man with a perfect face you could call him a greek god, a bright shining brown hair that shines under the sunlight and a body build for a excellent and athletic man.. he's someone any girl would like to have but-
'Who does he think he is?! *glare'
Unfortunately Olivia Exclianter is not one of those 'Any Girl'
"Marquiz are you trying to test my patience?" A cold glare and piercing eyes that seem to be able to see through his very soul
"M-My apologies countess.." the marquiz look paled from her sight
And on a corner the butler scoff "my my, marquiz is scared of a little Countess?"
Olivia's gaze dropped on the butler "oh i've been found out so quickly, really.. the countess is really something" knowing what that gaze meant the butler left
"Marquiz you dont seem alright.. why dont you go back already?" Smiling to hide her irriation lucian quickly took notice
'How interesting' lucian then came to his father "if you say so countess.. then we shall take out leave"
"Then rain please escort the marquiz and his son out" the butler quickly came and escort the two
'You just had me left milady'
