[3/22/1343]
Finally the day came ...
It was seven o'clock in the morning, the streets were still bloody, some corpses were still lying on the streets, the whole city was giving off a fresh and pleasant odor, similar to freshly cut grass, a really calm and pleasant morning.
The Duke's house was at the northern end of the capital, the route usually takes 50 minutes.
After a pleasant 50 minutes of walking, I finally arrived at the Duke's house.
In front of the gate there were two guards, one on each side of the gate, holding a spear in their hands and wearing beautiful silver armor without any scratches or bloodstains.
Apparently they haven't been doing much work.
The guards aimed their spears at me and spoke loudly about you.
"Stop there! Who are you? Introduce yourself!"
"Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Alice Brightes, I'm sorry to show up so suddenly, but I have an appointment with your lord today".
"We are sorry for the aggressive approach, we were waiting for you, Miss Brightes."
The two guards collected their weapons, and with their left hand they opened the gate.
I thanked them, and walked towards the entrance door to the Duke's mansion.
I stopped in front of the entrance door.
It was a wooden pivoting door over two meters high, somewhat impressive for the time we are in.
I put my left hand against the door.
It was a light yellowish brown door with dark stains, and a smooth, glossy surface.
It seems that there are some very unusual individuals at that time ...
I knocked three times in a row with my left hand on the door and walked away a little.
The door started to rotate from west to east, until it stopped halfway and someone came out on the right side.
"Be very welcome, Miss Brightes, Master Julius is waiting for you, please join me".
A red-haired beauty with beautiful pale skin and blue eyes.
Wearing black pants, a black pierced tuxedo with a brooch and a white bow tie, underneath a gray 5-button vest, a white dress shirt and a pair of white gloves in hand.
A person with a really unique appearance or maybe a lot like a bat?
"I'm sorry for not asking, but what would your name be?".
The letter that Maya sent to the Duke did not appear my name at any time, the guards at the gate did not have time to speak to anyone but me, but then, how did this butler know my name?
This butler looks dangerous ... If he tries to lie or hesitate to answer my question I ... I kill him.
As soon as he stopped walking I stopped right then, then he turned to me and started to introduce himself.
"My name is Wilfred Chrysanthemum, the Chief Butler of this palace.
I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself before, we didn't get a lot of visitors, so we're not really used to having to introduce ourselves, really sorry. "
He responded very well and without hesitation, he does not appear to be lying, but I feel something wrong coming from his answer.
He said that they do not receive many visitors, so they are not used to performing, this explains about the guards, old armor without wear marks and aggressive actions with strangers, he does not seem to be lying in that part.
He said he was the chief butler of this house ... He wears a silver circular brooch with the symbol of the Leucophyllum family, the guards at the entrance to the gate didn't seem to have anything different in his clothes like a brooch or anything, he also came
receive me at the front door of the house, he doesn't seem to be lying in this part either.
I have analyzed his answer thousands of times, but I cannot tell where he is lying, but I am sure he is lying, I am sure!
After I find out I'm going to kill him, I'm sure I'm going to kill him, I'm sure!
A miserable insect has no authority to lie to me, I will find out what his lie is and then kill him.
"Miss Brightes, did something happen?"
In my mind, the time I spent analyzing his actions was about an hour or so, but in reality it was not even five seconds.
"No, I was just a little surprised by the size of this mansion" I will certainly kill him, certainly !.
"Then let's go fast, the Duke is waiting for you, Miss Brightes."
We started walking again to the place where the Duke would be waiting for me.
I stopped in front of the entrance after Wilfred entered, it was a large room, there were six huge panes of glass on one wall, on another, pictures with paintings that only a great art lover would understand its beauty and value.
I entered this room completely and sat on a sofa that was in the middle of the room, facing an armchair, separated by a small coffee table.
In front of me was probably him, Duke Julius Silver Leucophyllum.
I got up and introduced myself to him "Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Alice Brightes, and would you be?".
Since I entered this room, until that moment I still hadn't paid attention to the Duke, the room's atmosphere was so sweet and pleasant that I hadn't seen the Duke's face yet, the sofa in the room was so nice, a fabric of
cotton with capitonê finish, it was as if I was induced by the environment not to look at it.
This man that I had not yet paid attention to started to introduce himself while I was still admiring the room.
"My name is Julius Silver Leucophyllum, nice to meet you, Miss Brightes."
After he introduced himself, I accidentally dropped you low.
"Pleasure is not, who gives pleasure is a \*\*\*\*\*".
The Duke did not seem to understand what I said, but his butler seemed to understand very well.
"What did you say to my master?" Wilfred said that to me with a look of hostility on his face.
I am a goddess, arrogance I have more than any human, but I am also human, malice I also have more than anyone, malice and arrogance is more than enough to give me a little clarity.
I crossed my legs and rested my cane on top of my right thigh.
"Don't get too aggressive butler Alfred, let's calm down and talk about the main reason that brings me here".
I could see it in his eyes, when I heard his name go wrong, his face got a confused expression between fear and anger, so I started to wonder what was the reason for that expression.
Confusing the names 'Wilfred and Alfred' is not so unusual, I accidentally ended up saying his name wrong, I don't think he has much reason to be angry with me, that was a simple misfortune.
I don't remember acting in a way that made him afraid, since I introduced myself I only asked a few questions, if he is afraid of my slight questions and silly mistakes it means that he really hides something.
I had not yet paid attention to the Duke, butler Wilfred still had his strange expression on his face, while I connected the events from my meeting with the guards.
When I was met at the door of the Duke's house by the butler Wilfred, a detail left me confused, how he knew who I was, all the people I spoke with did not know anything about me, much less knew my name, but how did he know?
The simplest way to find out someone's name is usually by asking, but they didn't ask me, so how?
In a fantasy world where there are different types of spells and spells, what would be the best method to find out someone's name without asking?
Perhaps looking at Alma ?.
I crossed my legs again, put the left thigh over the right, with the hands that held the cane over my crossed thighs I made some hand signals, it felt like I was playing the piano on my thighs, but in fact I was activating
a spell,
\[
I looked at Wilfred's face again, now with
Wilfred is quite average in height, inside his body were two large colored masses dividing a place where there should normally be one.
A purple mass occupying half the heart and a yellow mass occupying the other half, two souls trying to live in the same heart, the soul with the strongest feeling has control of the body.
I forced my eyes a little further to try to see inside Wilfred's souls.
\[Purple soul: Within a purple soul, pain is the first thing I imagine, when I open my eyes ... the pain I imagine ... In a world of dreams I finally feel.
Within this soul the beginning is like a dream, a humble boy with a good heart and a happy family, really a great dream.
The world spins and time goes by, just like in a story the middle page is always one of the ones that most marks life ... A simple life that like any other rarely arrives in the middle alone ... With a beautiful and reliable partner
this poor soul in the middle of its history more easily he arrives ...
Lives now ripe, which in their midst finally began to bear fruit, one?
or maybe two new lives started to generate.
Just as in the beginning the environment also seems like a dream, a happy dream where even I would not want to wake up ...
As in any other dream, the time also comes when it has to end.
Adult life is often sad, but with a happy family, sadness is easy to forget ... Or maybe not.
Life gives you: love, pleasure, satisfaction among many other types of joys, but as you are no longer dreaming, you also have to understand that: 'God is Just'.
In the last of four volumes of a really fascinating history book called 'life', the 'pain' that bright purple reminded me of finally arrived.
Life is bitter, a single mistake is enough for the world to give you pain, suffering and a lot of pleasure.
Like any human being, this poor soul is also a failure, this mistake was enough for the world to break your heart into seven pieces, and put them back together with the best pleasures that life can give you: pride, lust, envy, gluttony ,
anger, laziness and greed.
After so much pleasure, regret and sadness is what is left in the end.
A soul who completely gave himself up to desire, at the end of his life 'outside' life he also threw.
As someone who does not live only with love and kindness, in hell the pleasure of making mistakes, still in him lives
Chained to the flames of hell, muttering under his breath, he still want "I wish I had done more wrong"
That poor soul that all life took away, in comfort sins she found again, and as a last wish, back to life to 'make mistakes again' she returned\].
