Chapter 9 - Sixth Nightfall: Part Two - The Scullery

Samara guided her back to her room as what Nana Ciello told her to do but before she left she lives a message.

"Later, the Lodernbergh Family will be here to finally finalize their engagement with Lady Jessica."

"What?" she wanted to ask Samara though it quickly walks away. "Wha… whatever!"

Yna takes a deep, deep breath before she goes to bed and firmly closes her eyes. 'If only…' she silently hopes while letting herself be pulled for a nap.

After while…

"Yna?" it was Lizzy who called from the outside of her room after she knocked.

"Yes?"

"Can I come in?"

She sits down. "Come in."

The door opens and Lizzy comes out of it.

"Sorry to disturb."

"Its fine," she answered. "Why are you here?"

"I came here to tell you about…" it hissed and sat beside her. "You know what, I'm really piss!" it madly stated that surprised her.

"What? Why?"

Lizzy sighs. "You what, Ma'am Jenica ordered all of us including Nana Ciello to let you work alone in the kitchen."

"What?" she got surprised though.

"Yes! And there's more, you'll be in-charge to wash the entire dishes. All alone!" she half smile after hearing it. "Hey! Did you just smile?"

"Yeah!"

"Why? Aren't you mad? And did you even know that Nana Ciello tried to convince Ma'am Jenica to let you have someone to help out but as you know it."

"Well, that's predictable." Then sighs. "Anyway, I can take care of it so don't worry too much about me."

"But—"

"Liz," she cuts her off. "I'll be fine."

… … …

In the afternoon.

In secluded place at the mansion, there is one person looking through the window where it may see the vast forest behind the Crimson Mansion. The person was just silently watching through until someone comes in through the forest.

"No importa cuántas veces hayas reencarnado, nunca cambias. Lo mismo ocurre con él. Ustedes dos no cambian. Aunque parece que los desafíos que está a punto de enfrentar es mucho más grande de lo que esperábamos."

'What do you mean?'

A voice from the realm of the spirits suddenly asked.

"Foes from past and from the present where here to create another war… and it seems even the Immortal Gods and Goddesses were gathered here in this earth once again not to make peace but to create much strong hold of destruction."

'Foes? Gods and Goddesses?'

"Indeed."

'How? What will happen?'

It took her awhile to answer. "It isn't clear, as if my vision fogs by a powerful being. I can't see through the future that I wanted to know. It seems, someone manipulating not only my visions but also the other ones."

'Why would they do that?'

"I don't know exactly why? Though my conclusion is they were all afraid."

'Afraid of what?'

"The awakening of the Holy Grail, the ones that the Gods and Goddesses created…"

'You mean…'

"Indeed. But this time, it is far more different than the past. They cannot prevent it no matter what they do." She exclaimed as she continues watching the lady that she cares most, Yna.

… … …

At night.

Carl Vincent with his family invited for a dinner at the Crimson Mansion even though he doesn't want to come. He just silently listens to his father and parents of Jessica to discuss their plan for their wedding. While Jessica was also silently listening as if she doesn't care at all same as him, because all he cares about is only Yna.

Not seeing her together with her family, he wanted to ask Mr. and Mrs. Crimson of where was Yna though he cannot. That made him more anxious to roam around the mansion just to find her after their dinner. It took for a while after they had done tackling their engagement arrangement and he couldn't wait any longer. He badly wanted to live their dinner though he cannot think so clear, that made him more anxious as ever.

"Carl, what do you think?" his father suddenly asked him and because was his too focus on thinking rather than listening to their conversation it took him a while before he can find an answer though.

"That would be fine." He heard Jessica answered. "And besides, Carl didn't want to embarrass the Council just like the case of my dear cousin, who suddenly runs away his supposed to be 'wife'."

"Jessica, that topic isn't yet known by the Council, they aren't official so--"

"Still, someone refuses him." Jessica cuts off her father. "Anyway," she stands up. "I have to excuse myself, sorry."

"Jessica!" Mr. Mateo tried to stop his daughter but Mrs. Mateo stops him.

"Sorry for our daughter's attitude," Jenica said while holding her husband's arm.

"Its fine," he finally answered. "Anyway, can I ask about, Yna?" without any hesitation, he asked about the woman that he badly wanted to see and meet.

"Why are you asking about her?" Mr. Crimson asked.

"Just curious, why she isn't here? Aren't she's a part of your family?"

"Yes she is, but--"

"She's busy," Mrs. Crimson quickly answered cutting off her husband. "Anyways, why don't we talk about the other details that we need to prepare for your wedding?" She suddenly suggested with a smile as if she was trying to change the topic forcefully that made him feel a bit disappointed.

… … …

"Where are you going?" Jefferson asked.

He takes a deep breath before he answered. "I'll see her for a bit. So please give me a little time," he almost begged. "I really need to talk her for, please."

Silence.

Then Jeffeson sighs heavily. "Fine. I'll handle Uncle for a while."

"Thanks." He said before he lives.

He went straight from where he Yna was, and seeing her working all alone at the scullery it breaks his heart. Though all he can do is to watch her in silence and because she's too absorb on her works she doesn't even notice that he was already there.
