I woke up and saw I was in a dark alley way. Suddenly a voice said "Come here my child help me." "who is it?" I shouted. The voice repeated the same thing over and over again. I was terrified. I finally thought of following the voice. At the end I saw an old lady calling for help. She seemed to be hurt. I ran towards her and helped her to get up. "thank you dear" Said the old lady. "Ah! Please do not say thank you as a person it is my duty to help you." I spoke. The lady smiled warmly and said "let me give you a gift my child." She removed something from her shabby old bag. *STAB*. She stabbed me in my belly.
Suddenly I got up all sweating and panting realizing it was all a dream. Father also got up and started getting worried and asking me what happened and if I was fine. I hugged him which made my heart calm.
"it is ok Aashi. I m here for you. You are safe." Said father.
He calmed and put me back to sleep.
After some hours of sleep, I woke up. The birds were singing and sun had risen. The golden sunrays touched the floor of the room. I stretched and looked at the side to see if was father was still sleeping but he was already up. I got ready and went in the dining room for breakfast. I saw father sitting already, reading his work paper.
"good morning father." I greeted him.
"ah! Yes, good morning Aashi. Come, sit and have your breakfast." Said father
I sat down on the chair opposite side of him. We had our breakfast.
"Aashi." Said father while eating. "you are now old enough to study. I will be assigning a teacher for you."
"ok father." I replied.
"Also, I will be going to the palace today."
"yes father."
After breakfast father left to the palace and Rowally took me to the library where the teacher was supposed to teach.
I had an hour so I took a kid's book and tried to read it while waiting.
A man appeared in the library. He looked beautiful. He had silver shining hair, sharp eyes and was very tall.
I got up and bowed to him "good morning teacher, I am Anathe de el Lucifer and I will be in your care from today."
"Ah yes, miss Anathe. Good morning to you too. My name Sykler Dever and I will be your teacher from now onwards." Said teacher.
"So, shall we start our lesson today?"
"Yes sir." I replied.
We sat down in the library table and started with history, geography and political lessons. We studied for 5 hours.
"Shall we end it today, miss Anathe?" teacher asked
"Sure" I replied
I asked the maid to pack up all the stuff and I went out.
I was walking towards my room when I saw a fine lady walking in the corridor. She had beautiful brown hair which was tied up in a bun. She wore a pair of round glasses, her eyelashes was beautifully long, her eyes were pretty hazel, her freckles were scattered on her pinkish cheeks and her smile was very pretty. As I was observing her our eyes met. She looked at me and gave a bright smile and started walking towards me.
She grabbed my hand and excitedly said "Anathe de el Lucifer right? You are Kanai's sister right?"
"huh? Yes." I replied as she loosened her hand.
"Ah, my apology I forgot to introduce myself. I am Sieroma ol Drass. I am Kanai's fiancé."
"Oh nice to meet you miss Drass. You have come here for the one week stay right?"
"Yes that's right."
"Then I hope you won't have any difficulty while staying here if you do please do tell me so that I can help you."
"Ah yes, Thank you"
"Then I will be on my way to my bedroom. See you later miss Drass."
"Yes miss Anathe see you."
I went to my room and laid down on the bed for an hour. Then I got up and started revising all that was taught. After revision I went out the garden for a little walk as the sun was setting.
As I was walking the wind blew against my head and my hair started to fly, the sun rays were kissing my skin and my red eyes were glowing because of the setting sun. I enjoyed my time in the garden and then went back when sky turned dark.
I was sitting in my room reading a book. An hour was left for dinner.
"Young miss I heard you met miss Drass today?" asked Rowally.
"Ah yes I did"
"Do you like her?"
"Yeah she is fine but she talks a lot."
"Mhm she is very energetic. Why don't young miss invite her to a tea party tomorrow? I will do the preparations."
"Very well"
An hour had passed and was now dinner time. I went to dinning table where I found not only father but also miss Drass and brother.
I ran towards brother hugged him. "When did you come home?" I asked brother.
"When you were taking your lessons with sir Dever."
"Why didn't anyone tell me?"
"I wanted to surprise you."
"Ahem" interrupted father "Aashi go back to your seat."
"Yes father" I replied
I went back to my seat that was next to miss Drass.
"Good evening lady Anathe." Miss Drass greeted
"Ah yes, good evening." I greeted her back
We enjoyed the food, the waiter served us and went to our perspective rooms.
