This happened after Guren rescued the Duchy Family of de Blaze-Wisteria... The story that happened before the school semester starts.
"Hggnnn..."
The young lady slowly opened her eyes. Waking up, she stared at that familiar ceiling. She was certain it was her room's ceiling.
"Mai... Chika?... Hmm? Where have they gone?"
She asked herself as she began to look around the large empty room.
"Ugh, my head hurts... What happened? I can't—"
She tried to recall something.
"..."
She took a breather after recalling something... then,
"Kyaaaaaaaa!!!"
She let out a loud scream as she tried to remember what had happened before she arrived home... She blushed as she hurriedly wrapped herself in that thick, smooth blanket and began fluttering her feet on the poor bed.
Fortunately, because of the thick wall that surrounded her, the room had been soundproofed for some reason. As a result, no one can hear her even if she goes insane inside the room she owns.
"What? What? What?! Why did he!?"
She blushed once more as she repeated the process as if it were a déjà vu. She remembered Guren locking his lips on her, and for some reason, this recalled made steams come out of her ear.
"Why... Why did he kissed me?! Why did he ever kissed me?! He took my... he took my first kiss!!!"
She hid herself inside the blanket once more. She once again fluttered her feet on the bed, ever harder than before. The poor bed. If the bed could complain, it would most likely do so because of the way she kicks it. Is she alright? And no. He never even kissed her. He was performing CPR. CPR! To save you, girl. Seriously.
"Ah, my wound!... Huh? gone.."
She questioned herself as she tapped the part of her neck where the blade had undoubtedly landed earlier. If she could remember, it was a serious wound that she thought would be her demise. As a result, when she discovered it wasn't there, she was confused and surprised. As a result,
"Did... Did he do that to save me?"
Finally she'd got the clue. She was blushing, furrowing her brows as she was trying her best to remember everything. Shoving her burning red face on her pillow with embarrassment, she finally get the idea...
"So, he was just saving me? Hmm..."
She mumbled as she put the tip of her index finger tapping her glittering rosy lips...
"but... why did it tasted like lemon..?"
She started having weird description...
Her heart began to pound as the image of Guren flashed through her mind. Her imagination began to run wild, and she started imagining herself receiving a wall slam from Guren, as one can be usually seen in a shoujo manga. With the flowery scented scene, an extremely romantic moment came to her. Yeah, she liked it. Without a doubt. In her delusions, he was even lifting her chin as he stared passionately at her.
"Gyaaaa! What am I saying?! What am I thinking?!!! What is happening to me?! This is so irritating! My heart is thumping like crazy that it's so hard to breath! This is so annoying... but why?..Guh! I can't stay like this forever."
She made up her mind and got out of bed, changing out of her pajamas and into her regular clothes. She moved slowly towards the door, which she opened with a rattling sound, when suddenly...
"Wow. What a great grumble! Hahaha!"
"Yuiren-sama is probably tired and hungry after all those things from the forest."
(See chapter 15)
...laughters and chatters were heard from the dinning room.
"Yuiren? Who's that? A visitor maybe? When did we?..."
She thought to herself as she walked to the stairs. This is undeniably the first time she has heard that name, so she would never have guessed...
"I-I'm sorry."
...
"Th-That voice!"
...she'd ever see him again.
She was aken by surprise, as a result she dashed to the stairwell and hid there for some reason. She was certain she heard that voice somewhere. So she took a little peek. And, indeed, it was...
"Ah, there he is! He's really here!"
She smiled as she whispered excitedly! For some reason, she was unconsciously having
fun observing him blushing as he was teased by her parents. And, for some reason, her face began to turn red in response.
"Fufu, what's with him? Having his stomach grumble. What a silly person."
She chucked while conversing with herself. It was as if she was watching a super relaxing show that calmed her heart. She was staring at them from above the stairs, hiding at it's frames.
"Hah! No! I should not be swayed by this! Remember, she took your first kiss(Bzzt! wrong)! Get hold of yourself, Ellisbeth!"
She snapped back and squished her cheeks. She had determination for something weird...
"Fufu..."
"How cute."
"Right~?"
The giggling maids even added a tease making Guren even redder.(Refer to chapter 15) Seeing this Ellisbeth made a pouting face as if she was watching a super irritating movie.
"Hmmp! Flirting and being teased by women. What a pathetic person! I hate him!"
She said to herself, she was annoyed for some reason. She's not even making sense anyone.
"I am not jealous or anything okay?! I am not!"
And who is she even talking to? She just started making such excuses.
Anyway, she watched him looking around the table searching for something or maybe someone? Then suddenly Guren asked,
"Uh, how about the young lady? Err..."
"Uh, Ellisbeth? She's still sleeping upstairs."
"Ellisbeth?"
...
Blushed. She covered her mouth trying to hide the fact that him saying her name and remembering her made her happy that she can't help it but to smile.
"He remembered me. Fufu! Ah! It's not like I am happy about it, okay?! I just remembered something good that's why I smiled! Yep, that's it!
Again, to whom is she even giving her excuses?
The conversation goes on and Guren made a comment on her name..."Ellisbeth"(see chapter 15).
"Ah, he's making fun of my name! How irritating!..."
Then Guren invited the maids to dine with them... (See chapter 15)
"Hmph! How irritating, how can he casually invite the maids like that! Even I want them to join me too when eating but they would not! But in just one invite the maids joined him eat! He's so annoying!.."
Guren explained why he want them to eat together...
(Refer to chapter 15 for every bloody time.
–_–)
"Hmm... so he was lonely, huh?"
Those scenes she witnessed made her smile, irritate, annoy, and even see who he truly is. It was as if she were watching a theater performance of an unscripted piece. A masterpiece in the absence of a director... And when she saw this scene, she slowly moved from the stairwell frame where she was hiding, watching everything, and returned to her room. When she got to her bedroom, she jumped into her fluffy bed without a second thought. She flipped over and lied on her back, her right hand across her face and her left on her chest.
Her heart was pounding like crazy, and her stomach was as if filled with butterflies... With these thoughts, she asked herself,
"What is this feeling? I'm irritated and annoyed at the same time, but why? Why does my heart race like there's no tomorrow when I see him smile? Why do I feel irritated when I see him laugh with other girls? Why do I feel annoyed when he makes fun of something related to me?! Why?! Why can't I get him out of my head?!?"
With all of this thought, she had no idea, being as clueless as she is. In her innocent heart, she was already... for him.
Following this, the always solemn-looking heiress of the de Blaze-Wisteria Duchy family began acting out of character and became more lively than she'd ever been. Especially when she found out they were going to be classmates...
Her youth had only recently started its first shift!
