"I wonder how brother and Father are doing..." I mumbled, Myung was still playing with the water fairies while I studied with my history teacher. He made himself visible only to me, so no one but me can hear him or see him.
"Lady, you shouldn't be so worried about the master and young master, you should focus more on your studies." Ms. Damocles reprimanded, they switched my teachers because my last one thought that she could make a living of preaching history.
[that's the most stupidest thing I've ever heard in this life...] i groaned and nodded like a diligent chid, [please just take me away..! end my suffering!!!] I banged my head on the desk as my teacher sweatdropped from my behavior.
"Lady, you can't be acting like this! If something ever comes to happen to the Master and Young master, you will be the one to take charge of the Baudelaire household," The Teacher told, but it clearly was her way of saying: "you'll be easy to control! the whole house will fall at my knees if they die! Muahahahaha!" but she's just trying to hide her intentions.
[this is so cliche. just kill me already.]
"Master, you shouldn't joke about death so easily!"
"shush Myung. I'm trying to live my life in peace but all they do is plan traps, try to take my inheritance, and belittle me like in those dramas! THIS ISN'T A NOVEL OR A MANGA!!!" I huffed, Myung walked away sweatdropping from my sudden outburst.
"M-M'lady?" Ms. Damocles rubbed her hands, [tch. she even has the habits of a businessman. when she's not even a man.] I smiled brightly, "Yes, Ms. Damocles?"
[INTERNAL HEART ATTACK!] Ms. Damocles smiled and cleared her throat in a hurry, "We're going to start the Test, so be prepared Lady," She put on her glasses and looked at me with a glint in her eyes.
[I'm going to make her into my best student so far!]
"In what year did the Serians invade Reandra?" She asked.
"On the 89th year of the Imperial calendar."
"What was the outcome between the two nations? Be specific."
"Reandra defeated them with the Hero called, Hera, and its holy sword during the 92nd year of the Imperial Calendar and Seria was destroyed and no longer considered a nation but just a small kingdom as of now. After all that the hero, Hera, disappeared without a trace leaving the holy sword behind," I told her, she couldn't help but clap at my beautiful performance.
"Alright. let's see if you know this one."
"Mm!"
"What were the 1st Emperor's last words on his death bed? What do you think they meant?"
"..." [A difficult question, because I saw him as a baby, not that I grew up with him but that dream left me traumatize--]
"Master, He said; May all greedy beings touch my sword but the one that can truly wield it, will bring prosperity and joy to the kingdom," Myung whispered, I was shocked that he knew that but continued to tell her that.
"Oh My! Good! But what about it's meaning?"
"He meant that anyone can touch his sword but no one can truly use its power if they aren't chosen?"
"Nice! Well, that's all for today Lady! I'll be testing you tomorrow as well since it's this late!" She started to pack her things and leave.
"Have a nice day, Ms. Damocles!" I beamed.
...
"Don't you have something to say, little one?"
"Eeek! M-Master! please don't get me wrong! I learned this when that teacher told you," He stuttered his pupils dilated, they were literally shaking, even his body trembled.
"Oh really? then what's with the uncontrollable shaking?" I asked raising my eyebrow, "Uh..err....I-um. I'm not shaking!" He said standing in a grandoise pose, [then why are your legs still shaking?] I raised an eyebrow.
"Hah...if it's something I'm not supposed to know then that's fine. I don't need to know, it doesn't seem to be that important," I shrugged off, Myung clenched his fists in frustration, [i hate hiding things from master! but I made a promise with her--] He finally had a worried expression on his face and yet painful at the same time.
"I'm sorry Master," Myung apologized, I turned to him and smiled, patting him on the head as it perked up in surprise. "You don't have to worry about that Myung! If you can't tell me now, that's fine. I won't force you to do that, because real friends don't do that."
"friends?" a pink light blush coveted his round chubby cheeks as I nodded, "Friends can be loyal to each other and share their pains, it doesn't mean they can solve their problems though, right? Life is all about pain and sorrow, everyone goes through it, some more than others," I beamed, that's when Myung knew why his heart beated for her.
She was so understanding with him, like she wanted to put herself in his shoes and feel the pain for him. Whether he be a god or a human, they still had a heart, he could feel the small butterflies in his stomach, he grabbed the hand that was patting his head and put it on his cheek.
"M-M-Myung..!" I flinched at his sudden touch, it felt so warm and strange. [If only I had had a friend like him as Kim Soon-Bok...maybe everything would've been different...but that's all in the past, the past can't be changed, it's better to stop looking back and live in the present!]
"Thank You, Master..." He smiled looking up at her with his red orbs, so shiny and translucent, I smiled tenderly at his warm and friendly gaze.
BANG!
I flinched at the banging of the door, Myung had turned back to a bunny in my hands and my older brother had popped up out of nowhere, "Young Master...! You can't..!--"
"Is it true?"
"what is?" I asked in confusion tilting my head, [what is he talking about?]
"What a sly kid, You tried to kill me." He smirked, I blinked several times in confusion. [what? kill him? omg-- did he finally go crazy? oh no...poor oppa...]
I looked at him in pity, "Stop looking at me like that and explain yourself, before I kill that stupid rabbit of yours!"
I gaped at his immediate response and averted my gaze, he glowered and unsheathed his sword pointing at Myung. [AH..! NO!] I squeezed, [this is the end!]
