I looked at the around the garden they I have been cleaning as I submerged to my own thoughts. I have been alone here since morning ,I told the maids and servants not to come here without my permission.
Since then I have been going around the garden doing this and that and hummed while thinking. Moving around while wearing this extravagant clothes makes my work slower.
I have been thinking about things that happened last night and the story. There were not a single description about the children that I saw.
In the story there are five male leads one of those are Luca Viglianco,my brother ,the crown prince, the strongest Archimage,then lastly the bloody knight.
And I have no plan getting entangled with them. Now that I think about it I'm quite stupid one is my brother.
Also the villain is a Duke in the north. And this characters are said to be qualified to be the emperor. Of course the crown prince is the next in line but there are some exceptions.
Elysium Empire is known for its strength the strength do not just mean winning wars in terms of business or merchandise it is also one of the top five empires.
And the right for the throne does not just include the royal family. If you have the power and influence you can be a candidate but it is not that simple either. Going to war being the top of food chain in terms of business. And knowledge for politics and being able to lead people is needed. To avoid rebellion even if you are commoner if you achieve such things you can be the next emperor.
That is one of the differences of Elysium Empire to the others Empires and kingdoms. But eve with this law we cannot denied that nobles still look down on commoners well humans are humans.
I looked up at the sky it's so clear that it's making my thoughts disappear. When ever I am bothered by things or thinking I like doing things while thinking or either I look up at the sky it feels refreshing.
I got up then walked towards the training field where the armory of the house is located. I can still remember the dagger the kid used it is well designed and not an ordinary commoner from the slums could easily get or rather buy.
Last night I decided to go home rather than going near them. It would be too bothersome if they have a teacher or a master teaching them and they are not really from the slums.
And I do not like doing things I am not sure about.
When I went to the training ground there are still knights training while the others are just sitting around. The training ground is an open space and wide but they are not using the given space for their advantage in training,how naive.
They greeted me when they saw me and I just nodded to them.
"Who is the knight captain??" I asked the knight beside me. The knight flinched same with the others.
".....my lady...there is none usually it is appointed by the Duke or you the house owner-"
"So since I'm in coma I cannot and my father did not appoint one same to be precise my family just hired you put you in here give you money then hmmm?" I then continued
"And since there is no proper order you just thought that as long as I the"OWNER OF THE HOUSE" is safe nothing else mattered how amusing,well you are not wrong".
They flinched then frowned a little they might be shocked that the good and humble girl suddenly talked in such a way or their pride is hurt or it's not true it's either of the three.
If I were to think about it all of them were just hired and none of them are from the main house so none of them are either of my family members people. If there is a knight captain of course I would make sure that he's a weapon I can handle well and not a weapon pointing at my neck because if he is of course he'll be my next prey after our chef. What's the name of that guy, I don't even know his name.
"I will look into this I hope everyone will help me look after this to appoint a captain is important for he will be the one to lead the knights of this house"I said, my humble tone is back.
The atmosphere suddenly changed into a motivated one. Seems like they all want the position while the others are disappointed. Well get motivated cause I will not choose anyone from you hehe.
I entered the armory and it's quite dark in here. I looked at the weapons in it. Swords,spear,bow, and armours are all present there are also some katana.
I tested the weapons one by one. Damn this both is weak I can't even handle a sword properly because it is heavy. I should train this body of mine.
The experience, knowledge and my skills are still there but if my body cannot handle it it's useless. It is just the same with a strong knight that is wounded even if he's strong the wound will make him weak so the ability is useless because he can't use it properly.
Since I can handle the katana well while the spear do not fit me but nothing is bad from learning while I am good at aiming but I never used a bow before so I might try training archery first for training my body.
Hmm those idiots should train with me.
"What are you doing there holding a bow your size" I looked around to look at the one talking when I confirmed who it is I frowned.
"What are you doing here I thought you are at the capital"I pouted why don't you just leave and what is this brat doing here.
"You don't want to see your dearest brother huh? I'm hurt"
"Shoo I'm going to try archery leave me alone"
"I'm not a dog for you to say shoo sister and why do you want to learn archery can your body hold up with your activities?"
I walked past him holding the bow and the arrows.
Sigh. Arthur followed me after a long sigh.
When I went outside the armoury the knights already left. The sky is starting to get darker. I stopped around 9-10meters away from the target.
I started attaching the string then got an arrow. I fixed my posture then aimed at the bulls eye o the target. I stretched the string while aiming when someone held both my hands guiding it.
"Sister seems like you cannot even properly stretch the string it's either your hands are weak or the owner of the hand is weak"he chuckled
"Hmm" so annoying but his right I do have a proper posture and my aim is good but fuck my body. It's weak from being a sleeping beauty. And I hate this brat for telling me what I already know I have pride you know.
I released the arrow then looked at the target I smiled perfect score. I then looked at my brother.
"I'll get better soon so stop reminding me and you're so rude to your older sister"I told him then he just gave me a smile saying really? and its annoying.
"I'm going in already it's getting dark already let's go eat dinner since you are here" I started fixing the bow then grabbed the arrows then started walking.
I looked around when I cannot sense him following me. When I looked around he's observing me then looked at my feet like something is weird. Confused I also looked down on my feet to see there's nothing there then looked up.
"What?"
"Your footsteps.... nothing"he shook he head.
Oh he might be wondering why my footsteps are so light and silent. I just shook it off too well it's not worth to be kept in mind for too long as long as we are friends right.
"We started dinner in silent no one opened his or her mouth to talk to a awhile. I looked at Arthur curiously as he eats I mean I tasted it and it's really salty.
"What?"
"Does it taste good our main chef ran away so the cooking is being handled by the maids how is it?"
"You mean the one who abducted you is that him?"he said but his eyes turned cold.
"Not really but yes so how is it?"
"What do you mean not really?" Damn my tongue slipped.
"Nothing so does it taste good?"
"It's to salty but if I don't eat it I'll be hungry really hungry I did not eat before coming here" I sighed he looks like a puppy.
I stood up from my seat then told Arthur to follow me to the kitchen then asked the servants to clean the table.
After entering the kitchen I immediately prepared the things I needed from ingredients to tools. I wore the apron then started working.
I am planning on cooking stake and serving it with salad greens. Now that I think about it in reality I suck at cooking but things changed when the organization that raised us were destroyed.
That time that it was destroyed only 4 of us remained the others died protecting us to survive in my case Chase died for me to run. That time we separated to avoid getting caught by police.
But we still meet each other just like me they are still working underground. That was what we grew up doing so there's that.
And things went on a sudden turn of events that's when I worked as a cook on a yacht for months before getting caught by the army.
During that time they asked me to work under government as either an agent,spy or work at the military. And if I do not I would be executed.
No body really cared much that I was too young because of my identity underground. White reaper that was the name the gave me because of my silver hair which is rare.
Well I can't blame them but there are times too when I want to shout out I'm only human you know. They are all the same there expecting a lot to me same with the organisation.
