The Hunt

MWF: 12

I still can't believe what happened yesterday, though I'm still wondering why the Mistress or father isn't still calling for me. I swear the Second Miss would report this already to them. 

"Lucia" I called out for her, she put down the water I just washed my face with and looked at me.

"What is it, milady?" she asked while getting near me. 

"I don't seem to find father and the Mistress since yesterday" I said because it was true, I saw the Second Miss but not them.

"The Duke and the Mistress are attending  the Imperial Family since yesterday, milady" she said and combed my hair.

"Why?" I asked because I did not heard about this from anyone. 

Maybe it was a blessing in disguise that the Second Miss didn't show her face to me since the two swordsman pointed their swords at her. If she ever had dinner with me, I swear I think I will lose it.

"The Imperial Family is arranging the Hunt as usual" she asked which made me turned around to face her.

"Hunt? What hunt is that, Lucia?" I asked her with what seems like gleeming eyes.

"It's the hunt for breasts and wild life, the Imperial Family does this as a tradition for the knights and any men of noble families to show their affection to a lady" she said which made me think, will Sir Jhail and Prince Leon be there?

"Will Sir Leon be there?" I asked which made her gasped and cover her mouth with her hand/

"Why do you ask, milady?" she asked being suspicious, should I tell her that I just want to or what? 

"Why?" I asked being confused by her, I mean in my past life they never bothered who I want to meet. Not that anyone would like to know.

"Answer my question first , milady" Lucia said using her strict tone, is that really important that she's close to using violence?

"I just want to see Sir Leon" I said looking down at my hands and playing with them.

It took a few minutes before Lucia could even answer after her gasp, I think she became a statue to be honest because she's not even moving.

Is that really important? Or maybe a lady isn't suppose to say that?! 

"Lucia?" I asked looking up and making my cutest puppy eyes I could master so I can get out of this.

"I-I don't know my lady, the Sir Knight isn't attending the Hunt for almost 5 years now" she said which makes sense because Prince Leon neglected being a prince.

"Oh, I see. Thank you" I said and I just fiddled with my fingers as Lucia brush my hair.

"Maybe he will attend now, milady" Lucia said and smiled to the mirror, she's saying that to assure me but I just want to see Prince Leon to tell him a news.

"Can I go to the tree?" I said and Lucia shook her haid.

"You should have your breakfast first" she said which I nodded because I could feel how hungry I am now. 

Lucia let my hair down today which looks like the night sky without the stars, father's magic is really something. I stopped at my tracked and looked at Lucia who's behind me.

"Will the Second Miss be here today?" I asked pointing at the door of the dining room.

"No, the Second Miss wished to have her breakfast at her room" she said which made me much more comfortable. 

In the days like this that I woke up in the right side of the bed I don't want anyone or anything that would make my mood turn upside down.

The servants immediately served me my food, the food was great because everything was my favorite thanks to Lucia who's supervising the chief.

"Can I go to the garden now?" I asked Lucia after I wiped the side of my lips.

And Lucia kept what she said that I can after eating my breakfast, I immediately went to the tree of Jai. I stopped on my track when I saw the silver hair of someone I don't want to see.

The Second Miss was trying to talked with Jai but she gets no response, I quickly hid behind the rose bushes when I saw that she's about to leave. I could hear her grunting and stomping as she passed by me.

"So childish" I whispered and came out of my hiding spot once the cost is clear. 

"Jai!" I shouted and quickly everything wnt black.

"Welcome back, milady" Jai said while placing his hands behind him. The place was usual and things kept on floating and moving.

"Can I ask you about something?" I asked Jai as I made my way towards the table, the tea cup quickly jumped in front of me then the tea pot poured the tea. It's black tea today.

"What is that, milady?" he asked, he just stood beside me. 

"I'm here to ask about the blood oath with Prince Leon" I said after sipping the tea, today is really a good day for me.

"Are you not curious about the oath with your other knight?" Jai smiled at me which made me stopped because he is right, Sir Cea took an oath but there was no mark nor light.

"Yes, please that also" I said and smiled trying to sip the tea again because I feel like my body doesn't want the tea now.

"Dhaer granted Prince Leon the chance to be your knight because he simply needs you, your other knight..." I immediately looked up at him when he stopped mid way.

"What?" I asked being cautious now. I f Dhaer granted Prince Leon, does that mean Sir Ceao was never granted from the beginning?

"The other knight is in a some sort of black magic, that is what I could only say because servants are looking for you" he smiled and with one gesture of his finger I was floating.

I was about to say something when I quickly felt a hand shaking me. It was Sir Ceao's face that greeted me as soon as I woke up, I smiled and got up like nothing happened.

"The Duke is looking for you, milady" he said which I nodded as I patted my dress from dirt and dust.

"Where is father, Sir Ceao?" I asked and looked up to him after dusting myself.

"He is in the library waiting" I nodded and made my way passed him, I still can't get over of what the deity told me. Why would he do that?

"Father" I said after knocking at the door of the library, he quickly let me in. The Mistress nor the Second Miss was not inside with him thankfully.

"Would you like to come to the hunt?" father asked looking at me which made me nod my head so quick.

I mean, going to the hunt as a representative not just a lady. Sounds good right?
