Since last night, I can't sleep in peace. It pisses me off every day. Apart from that, the part of waking up in a bad mood is because of so much work. "Ahh ... I would give up my life if I just went to work."
In my past life, I was still in high school, so I don't know what it's like to work. But now that I see it, it's laborious, and easy. "You should stop saying things like that, Master." Said Seiryu. He licked his paw fur again.
"Being the daughter of a Gran Duke is not easy ..." l said. My head leaned against the leather chair. My neck ached from reading documents all the time. " Or worst..." I completed.
"It's never easy to do that, Evy." Said Seiryu. He raised his voice to a creature who took nothing seriously. Even more with a bow on the neck. "You say that because you don't know ... Seiryu, you lived in power, and you were the strongest." I said.
His life was golden compared to mine. I'm just one of many. And even if I am not reincarnated as a human, I realize that it is complicated even for someone like me to be accepted by society. "Yes. I did. But that was years to gain respect and demonstrate my worth."
"So, how long did it last?" Moving in the chair, I was attentive to him, who was dressed in sitting on the sofa. "One hundred years." He said almost to drop me off the chair.
"But what ?! Two hundred years ?!" I am shocked by the amount of time. It's absurd. "Do you know how long it is? It's more than human life!" I dropped the ink pen once and for all, thinking about how much time I had. "Until then, I'll be dead."
"Why do you say that? From what you said, your father is not human." He said wisely. I may not be completely human, but I am not immortal. Also, my mom was half human, and my dad is completely non-human. But .. Putting the two together ... What am I?
"My mom was half human, and my dad is completely immortal." I started to explain. "Because of human blood, I am not immortal, nor do I live after a hundred. Well, that's what I think."
"This is what you think." He really has no respect for me right ?! Not even being my father does he really look like one! And this is honestly not at all welcoming. Next to me is this animal on my side.
On second thought, it would be bad to be an immortal. It is reasonable to think with and I could never fall in love with another person again, or have children who are older than me ... Honestly, I don't want to go through this.
What is the problem with having a normal life?
And if could only have chosen which body to reincarnate with, certainly wouldn't be a nobleman.
"Seiryu, have you never wanted a broken life?" The beast moved where it lay again. I'm sure you'll be sleeping for the fourth time. He looked at me, tired. "Could not." He said. "If I have the powers and the ability to help someone, I couldn't be standing and watching a brother die."
So ... I don't think I can escape this fate. But, I didn't want to be her. Not Evy.
"But," The beast moved on the couch, looks at me from then on. "It will depend on you your choices. Nobody is forced to do anything." I really don't know what he meant by that. Take some weight off? Clear the mind? I just feel more bad for thinking only of myself.
"Sleep well, Seiryu." I gave a final smile before leaving my father's office, and leaving Seiryu in his sleep. When I walked down the hall to my room alone, still holding an old book, I didn't notice a gush from the gardens
A crash was heard at the end when I turned at the nearest window to see: screams. The book fell out of my hand when I saw a fire in the garden. The maids who were there ran along with the gardeners. Nobody was putting out the fire. Only after two men appeared pouring water from the lake.
But, even with those flames far away from me, I ran to them. I was attracted to other colors. It wasn't exactly a fire. He's my father. Passed out on the floor all wounded.
I couldn't leave it there, let alone stand. As Seiryu said, I could have enough power to be able to end this. That way he would save Dad, and keep Mom's gardens in order.
I was not running for me, but for Evy.
"Dad!" I screamed as I leaned over my body. He's heavy, and he wouldn't even wake up. The flames are close to us, because I feel the heat. Also, I heard Julie's scream coming right behind me.
I didn't want to see you scared, or worry about me. I'm fine. I want to save my dad, and hear his stories again, and feel a kiss good night. He was the only father I had, and I still have. I don't want to lose it, much less lose here. I already said: always want to live by your side, Dad. Either I, or Evy, doesn't want to see you like that, without reason. "Why do you do all this ...? Fool. Fool father."
A light opened up around me. My eyes closed, and opened to see the fire extinguished by the mansion's magical being, Seiryu.
Only l saw him appear in front of me and that of my father's unconscious body. I felt weak just seeing him. Something flashed inside him, and I don't know what it was. It looked like a flame, but it couldn't be. Just using a little magic can I stay like this? That really sounds boring.
However, besides that, it wasn't just the magic that made me like this. Something red and liquid ran down my arm. Oh. It was the wound when I ran to dad. Maybe he cut me with something on the way ...
The white flowers that Julie said were my mother's favorites just turned gray. What a pity. She would be disappointed to see this. Would she be sad? Well, I really can't say. And, moreover, why do I think of her if I haven't even seen her in this world?
"Miss Evy !!" Julie shouted from a distance. He was running, and he arrived in a heartbeat for me. "Miss Evy! Hang in there!" Hmm? Lea thinks I'm going to pass away?
Her hand rested on my shoulder, but I removed it weakly. Oh. My body is in bad shape because of this injury. "It's nothing, Julie. Take my dad to your room." I got up from the soft grass, and left my father with two more horsemen who came to help. "Other maids helped me to take care of that wound. But someone for my father's magician to come and see him. He is hurt."
Julie hesitated for a moment, but followed orders. He helped the two horsemen to accompany him while he carried my father's body. I hope everything is fine until the magician arrives. "Seiryu, go and watch my father. If he is injured like that, someone tried to kill him." l said for him. I couldn't take care of my father like that. Just using a little magic and I almost pass out. "Yes, Master." He disappeared then, leaving me alone with lots of housekeepers and gardeners.
Apparently some of the roses are destroying. The remaining flame was extinguished with the water in the buckets. The employees cooperated in the way that it helped. "Throw three more buckets of water around here, and see if there are more places with flames." I told some of the employees. "Then take out what you burned and plant new roses."
"Yes, Miss Evy." One of the gardeners followed orders and took one of them. Other maids went to bring water, and medicine. "And please be careful."
Why would anyone attack my father? Of course, under the current circumstances, someone must have told me about me. The novel is changing, so I don't know if it's the royal family behind it.
It could be, but it is unlikely.
At that time, no one would dare to do anything like that to him. Impossible. At least it was something of his sudden trip. He went after something. But what?
After all, what made you so insulting to a non-human being?
