Episode 18

Before they could continue with their questions, the carriage stops abruptly and I practically jump out of it.

My siblings followed me, they couldn't believe that the three of us were out shopping together.

I bought really comfortable clothes, not fancy dresses, it was what I wanted most since I arrived here.

Later we went to eat, entered a restaurant, and it was already getting dark. As we discussed what to eat, at a nearby table, some drunken men began to bother one of the waitresses, although the girl was tough, the men kept insisting and the owner looked the other way.

Without thinking much, I stand up from my seat and go to yell at those drunkards. My brother followed me, at first he tried to stop me, until he heard them.

"That rich guy should leave the women alone and get lost, we'll let them know who the real men are."

In the blink of an eye, the place turned into total chaos, tables, bottles, dishes, among other things, were flying everywhere, at one point, my sister grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the place, I took the opportunity for my brother to grab my hand as we passed by. For some strange reason, he brought the waitress.

"Are you okay miss?"

"Yes, I'm used to it, thank you anyway, but I can defend myself, my father taught me some combat."

I observed her for a while, she seemed familiar, where do I know her from, I must find out.

"Excuse me, who is your father?"

"He was a general in the Free Duchy, General Jon Kepler."

I looked at my siblings.

"Wasn't he father's right-hand man?"

My sister appeared pensive and my brother was the one who answered.

"Yes, he taught me how to use the sword, a great master, but he fell ill, no one could help him, so our older sister studied medicine...."

"So you two are the pride of my father, he always mentioned you... what memories.... Well, thank you for the help, but if I don't work, I don't eat."

My brother stops her.

"Wait, your father would never forgive me if I left you like this... Come to the duchy whenever you like, we will take care of you, we can find you work so you're comfortable...."

"Could I work and choose my job?"

"If you prove to be good, the doors of our house are open to you, if not, we will find something that suits you..."

"Let me think...."

"Whenever you like..."

My brother bowed and kissed the back of her hand, my sister and I looked at each other, he was never kind to anyone other than us.

In the end, we didn't eat and returned to the duchy, sneaking into the kitchen to eat some leftovers, the three of us had a lot of fun, until we made a mistake, we drank too much alcohol, I couldn't believe that none of us could handle alcohol.

The next morning, we were awakened by the shout of one of the kitchen maids.

"Oh my god, are you okay, young masters!?"

I imagine everyone was surprised by the sight of the three of us that morning.

We were sleeping on the floor, my brother lying with his body stretched out, looking upwards, my sister resting on his legs hugging one of his feet, which was without his shoe, and me on top of my brother's chest, with my feet on my sister and my hands on my poor brother's face that was the pillow for both all night.

As we got up, my father appeared, asking what was happening with all the commotion, until he saw us. The poor man didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He just sent us to our rooms. However, it was evident that he was happy that the three of us were together, without fighting.

Look at everything I lost in my previous life, if only I had listened to the people who loved me and not to false friends....

I took the opportunity to take a bath, I need some remedy for the hangover, my head hurts like a thousand demons...

As I thought about what to invent for the hangover, Doris comes with a letter... the time has come to face society.... It was what I feared the most, actually I expected it, since the day before I paraded around with my siblings everywhere, so today, I would basically be the talk of everyone.

I open the letter, it was for a tea party, luckily, the party would take place a day before we leave, so I won't have to listen to the rumors they believe...

I can't hide forever and I must face these ladies who think they rule the world... I know it well, because I was once a girl too, even worse than her.

I feel like an old woman going to a children's party, I hope at least they serve delicious cakes.

I ask Doris to send a reply saying that I will be there.

Since we are going to be socializing, let's see if there is a girl I can befriend, or even help. I had another chance... she didn't...
