"Rya, we have arrived..." Harry caresses her hair to the side. He doesn't know how is he supposed to face his fiancee in front of the girl he loves. The girl is awake from her little nap as the carriage halts in front of the gate which you can see a big mansion after a small decorative fountain. At the sides are gardens and flowers for the residents to enjoy some aromatic tea and snacks in the morning. Ava knows instantly that the owner is a rich noble who is always fortuned except for his daughter's uncured sickness. Now, her mission is to obtain the golden locket and she knows that if all the characters are not in one place, then the mission could not proceed further.
She has met the father, the mistress and her three children. The locket is not with them because they would be founded by her father if it is still in the mansion and the punishment will be harsh. There are only two important places in the original story. One, The Lilac's household and two, The Ross's mansion. She had been thinking if only she could meet with all of the characters then she would get at least a bit of inkling towards the locket. Ava turns to step out of the carriage. Her eyes locked at all of the figures while receiving the extended hand from the male lead. They are the ross's residents and most importantly the protagonist, Isabella Ross and her father Ezekiel Ross.
"It's an honour to meet you, Lord Ezekiel and the young Miss of Ross's..." Harry bows as everyone follows his action since he is the leader of the stay. Ross's is far nobler than The Lilacs. They have been serving the king for ages and always been one of the closest family to the royal blood. "It's nice to meet you again young man!... No importance here, call me father if you want to!" Ezekiel greeted with a mouthful of laughter. He is incredibly thrilled to meet his outstanding son in law and has been thinking of sending a troop to bring him here. "Yes, father" Harry replies with a smile indicates that he agrees with his suggestion. The old man is in his 50s and one of the feared man so it's a blessing for a lower-ranked to be accepted into the family.
Ava stares at the ground performing her shy character. She knows that Jasmine is not confident and tough which is opposed to her wild behaviour. She still can't deny that the original character can take advantage of many things but she is restrained for too long not knowing who she was and what is she suppose to do with her disastrous life. Moreover, this man... Ava peeks under her bangs. He probably knows something about the locket and her power because why he even bother to marry off his precious daughter for a man who is still not in charge of the Lilac? There are many men in this country or even on the other side have done a lot of achievement in their lives. Isabella is his only precious daughter and to marry her off like this is unexplainable for Ava.
"Well... Who is this little fella?" Ava looks up and notes the bearded man. His dirty blonde hair is swept to the back. His light green eyes almost match his skin as a curious smile makes way onto his lips. "Me is Rya" she answers almost politely. She needs to appear as ignorant as possible and apparently, she is one. To appear ignorant is to be stupid. She cannot show manners and respect. She needs to be certain to not knowing the nobles and their status. Ezekiel cracks up upon the reply. He didn't expect such a clueless illiterate response from a little bunny. Ava nearly smacks his face but she knew better than to not make a cause.
Harry choked from the introduction but is too occupied by his fiance admiring face. He sighs, not happy with her. "Thank you for coming to see me" the silky smooth voice makes him feels nostalgic. Still, this woman will only be a wife on paper. He doesn't love her as much as Jasmine and greatly not interested at all. He could only give a warm smile and kiss her hand. Isabella blushes, meeting her major love and her only future husband is the first. She has never felt warmness by another human than her father and their maids. It is somewhat a fresh experience from her "roomy" atmosphere. "Of course, my lady... It is an honour to meet you for the first time..." Harry glances at the two. One big bear is bullying a little bunny is what he observes. Ezekiel is moderately a fun and jumpy person but facing the small introverted Jasmine creates a weird mood. Ava had enough as she runs to seek protection. Her eyes are filled with tears but her insides are raging with murder thoughts. There are a real total of one-thousand 'How to murder a jerk' inside her head. If only she is in a character written with wild instinct then it would be perfect for her murder scene.
"Hally...! Uuuuu...www" she cries out loud, flinching the protagonist from her fantasies. Harry is shocked to see her opening-up to him. Perhaps it's the right choice to come here? Harry chuckles at the hiding girl who is observing the big bear. Ezekiel keeps pinching and stretching those plumpy cheeks as if she is a cute and fluffy plushie which makes her annoyed by the intimate gesture. 'I am a total genius and most people are afraid of me, you know!' Ava desperately wants to scream that she is the most untouchable in the base. 'I can stop your organs in minutes with just one needle you deadly pervert!' What sins did she commit to getting so unrespected? Her mind is blank from the sudden anger and rushes over to the male lead for cover. She still remembers the horror in their eyes every time she looks over them. 'Oh, God...! Please let me kill him!' Ava showcases perfect crystal tears but her heart is blaring in hell flames.
"Hahaha hahaha!" Ezekiel shakes his head before holding up his hands defeated. "Okay, little miss! I lose...". Although on the outside they may seem childish, only The god knows how much she hates this situation. The bearded man ignores her "intense" reaction and gaits towards the entrance leaving his daughter behind. Harry understood the needs to take care of her as he pushes the protagonist by her wheelchair. " Who are you?" Isabella holds her hand in anticipation. The lady's touch is unusually cold and icy. She doesn't know how to describe the spooky feeling. It is as if there is her inside the protagonist. She knows that it sounds weird and unproductive. Yet she can't let the personal feeling go. Her eyes search the house lady up and down and grin cheerily once it spotted a quite the familiar object...
"Me Rya... Let's be friends!"
Ava knows that she finally crack the queen's crown before her king could take the bait... She smiles wickedly... Like the saying, a secret shouldn't be kept too long, that is the most suitable quote for this uncracked dark story...
