Cry, Even Better If You Beg (Chat Story)
Huh?
Another round of gunfire could be heard in the distance.
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
.....
Had it been a horror for her, she cooped up herself in the small cottage, trying to find peace.
However, as the days passed by, the intensity increased.
All she could hear was gun shots in the woods.
For Bill, it became a pain he can't escape.
Because he can't go against the duke who is his master & for Layla, he can't even console with some comforting words because he knew nothing would work as the hush of woods was persistently bustling with the gun sounds.
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
...?
Puzzled at his hand held out.
Bill Remmer
Will you come to the garden with me?
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
.....
As if they are inescapable, she held his hand, accepting his idea to go to work.
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
Hah...!
Even though the sun was sweltering hot, the place under the shade of the tree was refreshingly cool.
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
(Will I stay alone today too?)
Layla sat down bundled in a blanket with her arms wrapped around her knees.
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
(Is it really okay for me to take a nap as uncle Bill toils away in the hot sun...?)
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
(But whenever I tell him I want to help, he says...)
Watching her uncle she reminisced.
Bill Remmer
Layla, if you say you'll follow me one more time, I'm going to get angry.
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
Uncle...
Bill Remmer
I hate kids who don't listen, you understand?
Bill Remmer
*Super serious*
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
😧😧😧😧😧
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
Bill Remmer
Come down when I call you later.
Bill Remmer
Eat peaches if you are hungry.
Ruffled her hair with his big rough hand.
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
Yes, uncle Bill. *Disappointed*
So, she opted to wait for him until he finished his work, even though her heart wasn’t at ease.
Meanwhile, Bill and the other gardeners were busy digging up the wilting rose tree.
The roses in the garden behind the mansion seemed to be of varying kinds.
The rose was said to be the Berg Empire's national flower, as well as a favorite of the Duke's mother and grandmother.
Amidst his tiresome work, he drew an uneasy stare from Layla.
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
Haaah!
She let out a slight sigh as she slowly closed her eyes.
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
.....
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
(But...)
When she opened her eyes again with reluctance, Layla was startled by an unfamiliar figure.
Kyle Etmann (12yrs old)
Hello.
As their gazes met, the good-looking boy with platinum blonde hair greeted her with a lovely smile.
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
Kyle Etmann (12yrs old)
Do you live here?
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
(Who is he?)
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
(I've never seen him before.)
Surveying his surroundings, he asked humbly while making himself comfortable beside her.
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
Ah?
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
...Yeah. With Uncle Bill.
Kyle Etmann (12yrs old)
Uncle Bill?
Kyle Etmann (12yrs old)
Don't tell me that he is the scary gardener.
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
Uncle Bill is not scary.
Kyle Etmann (12yrs old)
Really? He is scary to me~
Kyle Etmann (12yrs old)
I get scared whenever I look at him! 🤷🏻
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
...You live here too?
Kyle Etmann (12yrs old)
No, I'm here because I'm with my father.
Kyle Etmann (12yrs old)
My father is Herhardt family doctor and today is Madam Norma's examination day.
Kyle Etmann (12yrs old)
Madam Norma said it's 'Okay' to come here with my father. 😌
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
...I see.
Kyle Etmann (12yrs old)
.....
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
.....
With a curious scrutinizing gaze he stared at her.
Perhaps his gazes got her attention that she noticed him staring holes into her, she startled.
Kyle Etmann (12yrs old)
How old are you?
Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
Twelve.
Kyle Etmann (12yrs old)
Oh? Same as me?
Kyle Etmann (12yrs old)
But you
He said with a bright face.
Kyle Etmann (12yrs old)

Layla Lewelline (11 to 12 yrs old)
