Chapter 4:The Gift

Meanwhile on the other side where a blond girl was thinking about Avila.

Will she make me something terrifying again?She pondered.

When will she ever stop?All she gives are always something that can harm her...but she can't help but feel pity instead of hate about her...she already knew that her family hates her for the duchess's death.And that is wrong!Avila isn't the fault that she caused her mother's death!She is just an innocent child that was unexpectedly born in this world.

The girl can't help but feel pity and sympathy about Avila because she also feels the same.

She was abandoned by her parents and thankfully was saved by the duke of the kingdom of Romania who later on adopted her as his daughter.

She is thankful and this is enough.She will still try to open up to Avila who was envious or rather jealous of her for being accepted by her family while she was left by her maid and along with the others who were close to the duchess to be taking care of.

"..."

In a few hours they will later arrive to their destination and soon the girl will face Avila standing outside the gate and give her something that will bring shiver down her spine again.

Even if she tries to avoid her she will give her the gift later...So why not accept it without delay.

"Marianne."A cold voice of a man called her that brought her out of her thoughts.She looked at where the voice came from and was faced with a man who's eyes were distant.

She replied hastily."Y-yes milord."

The man."..."

"Didn't I told you to not call me that?"said the man with a cold voice that brought down a shiver down the girl's spine.

She continued with a trembling tone."S-sorry...F-father."

Who knew that the one she is facing now is her so-called-adopted-father who is particularly has a face of a beast.Not that he is ugly but how he has the tremendous aura around him that will make all the people around him shiver of fear.Mostly,his face is gloomy despite of having such a handsome face.

"I am not trying to scold you,Marianne."The father explained.

He is not trying to scold her?But is he trying to instruct her?

She never knew how ridiculous he is,until now.

Marianne remained silent and in an instant the atmosphere became ice cold.Only the wheels of the carriage,the horse running sounds and the rocks that was crushed by the carriage' wheels could be heard.

Marianne sit up silently with her lip zipped.Not really planning to speak and hoping for someone to break the awkward atmosphere.

Hopefully, a boy sitting beside her spoke."Father are we almost there?"

"Mhm.A few more hours and we are there.If it is alright we can stop and rest for awhile."The father looked at Marianne hinting that she was the one who was asked and not for long the boy looked at her,then asked."Sis?"

Why are you all asking me?

"But if we stop now...we will be late and Avila will be-"

"It's fine.She won't mind."Marianne only said halfway through,and was interrupted by his brother's cold voice and in an instant she received a cold atmosphere again inside the carriage.

Maybe it was the topic of speaking her sister in front of them that instantly made them like this?

And it was.She saw his father's palm clenched while holding the paperwork in his hands.

"Shall we eat?"For the last time,his father asked and Marianne has no choice but to accept the offer.She nodded hastily.

Meanwhile back at Avila's side who was particularly still thinking.

What will she make?What will be the best...the best...ugghh!

"God my Lord and my saviour...Please guide me from my struggle!"She put her hands together and clapped them embarrassingly in front of the maid who looked at her dumbfounded.

"Miss?Who are you talking to?"

"Shush.I am talking to God.I want God to listen to my prayer so if you may be quiet for awhile please do..."She commanded nicely and the maid nodded in response.

___

Young miss...

Avila has been acting weird since the last incident had happened.

It's weird that now she seems to be a different person.

At first...Sabrina saw Avila who was still three years old.And even though she was a child,she never acted like one.She always looked outside the window and never touched the toys on the ground.It's like she was alive but her inside self was dead.

But when she heard her father and brother's name her spirit instantly lit up.Sabrina doesn't know why but she feels a little happy when she saw her like that.But now...she thinks that her self has changed.

The way she talks,how she walks clumsily and how her personality revise.

Sabrina thought that maybe her puberty might be working right now...but no.

Sabrina thought that...she died and came back alive again?

That's impossible but sounds like possible.

What is she even thinking about!

Even if miss has changed it's good!

After all,Sabrina doesn't want to see her sulk and be quiet,just looking by the window,waiting for her father and brother to be called in front of her.Now that she has completely changed maybe it's time to accept it.

She has changed or not,she is still her beloved young miss!

Avila."clap"

"I know now!"

____

If Avila can't think any thing with this brain she had then...she has no choice but to make her ultimate specialty!

"Sabrina?"

"Yes miss?"

"Lead me to the kitchen if y-you may."

I really do need study some manners of speaking after this...Avila embarrassingly thought.

"Sure!Miss!Follow me!"Sabrina answered with a face and a wide smile.

Oh!I never knew Sabrina is so pretty!Unlike this face,no offence Avila...but you have an ugly birthmark.

Now enough of that.Let's go to the kitchen and make the greatest gift for the heroine!

~In the kitchen

"pad,pad"

"aaaahh...miss?What exactly are you doing?"

"Hehehe,I am making a dough."

"Dough?But I thought miss doesn't know how to cook."

Avila awkwardly laughed.She was nervous because maybe the maid may be suspicious of her.

"I learned it yesterday.I read it from a book!"Avila explained hastily while trying to keep her best composure.

"Where did you even get a book for cooking?"

"!!!"Avila was stunned by her sudden question.She is right.Sabrina hits the bulls eye.Where the heck did she even get a book while she was even lock up in her room.It's really impossible...How will she explain this?

"aaaaaaahhh...The book...I found it in my bookshelf unexpectedly.Heheheh..." She lied.She doesn't even know if she even has a bookshelf of her own.Then again,it's too late to turn her back now.Sabrina is already looking at her suspiciously with her hand holding her chin.It might be that she has already found out that she isn't her real young miss now.

"Oh?okay."Sabrina bluntly said leaving Avila utterly dumbfounded.She stopped rolling the dough and looked at Sabrina who smiled at her like everytime she does.

Sabrina,oh Sabrina...How pure are you?

In just one look at her young miss...she already accepted it without any doubts.

She doesn't know how will the original Avila react if she sees this...She doesn't even know if Sabrina could detect the real Avila and the fake Avila.

Avila sighed,restlessly.Then she continued to roll the dough again with the rolling pin into a circular shape.Then when she was done rolling she flipped the dough into the air and carefully catch it with her own hands.She was having fun while the maid was looking at her curiously and a little bit excited.

"Wow!Miss!W-why did you do that?I-i mean why did you tossed it?"

"It helps the crusts to get its shape perfectly as the dough is tossed in the air.It's also fun!"Avila raised her eyebrows and smiled in front of Sabrina.

"?!"Sabrina flinched as tears suddenly flowed from her eyes down to her neck.Her tears slowly fell onto the ground as Avila heard her whimpers.

"S-sabrina?!W-what happened!"Avila panicked trying to wipe her tears but suddenly stopped as she noticed that her hands were still dirty because of the dough.

"I-I am...Happy!"She stuttered while hastily wiping her tears from her eyes as Avila looked at her in panic.

"Then why are you crying?!"

(Hehehe...Did you just bully a person?tsk,tsk...)

No I did not!...

Avila."..."

Wait.Who am I talking to?

Nevermind.Let's focus on Sabrina first.

"S-sabrina?Are you...okay?"

"Mhm.I am okay!it just...there was something in my eyes."

Avila."..."

"Really?"Avila sarcastically said.

"I am fine.Just continue..."said Sabrina now feeling a little bit better.Avila wondered but decided to ignore of what just happened.

And for a few minutes,the food was done as she put it in,in the oven.

She wondered how to turn the oven on since it was ancient,that was strangely in this world, but was interrupted by Sabrina who suddenly gave her a gem that was supposed to lit up the fire on the oven.

Sabrina instructed her how to do it,as Avila slowly get what she was saying.

"Young miss...Hold the gem in your right hand,calm your mind and focus where your mana is..."

Avila.'Mana?...I don't even know what that is...Nah...never mind...let's just do what Sabrina tells me to...There's nothing to expect from this body anyways...Maybe,Sabrina is playing with me...let's just play along~"

When the discussion was over she holds the gem tightly on her right hand then a pink flame suddenly appeared on her other hand.

She was stunned but not for long.She already expected that this world was out of the ordinary.

But why pink?Although, pink is prettier than red.She likes purple more than pink.And God!She hates pink!

Sabrina looked at the flame flashing in Avila's eyes.She was fascinated by the flame for a moment then she looked at Sabrina's reaction.

Earlier,Avila was stunned that a flame suddenly came out from her hand.Although Sabrina appears to be more stunned than her.It's like she never expected that this would happen.

Avila.'Was she really joking with me?'

Avila doesn't know why the maid looked at her like that but just decided to ignore her reaction.

This is nothing special because Avila already knew that her body is weak and has no special abilities at all, according to the book.

She puts the flame inside the oven and slowly the flames started to scatter around the surface as the oven got hotter.

With a right temperature the food will be properly cooked as she waited.

She sat down in a chair beside Sabrina who was also looking at the food in the oven as ashes of fire were slowly making the food getting cook.

It was suspicious that after she put the pink flame from her hand in the oven,the color changed to red.

Does this even make sense?Well,of course not!

What does she expect from the world filled with magic and a lot of fantasies?

This is the world she had transmigrated,she has to accept everything except her death route,of course.
