Chapter 4 - Sixth Uncle

Next Day....Arriving in Pearl Country

Ania and Sir Seno arrived to their destination. So far there had been no signs of Lady Baiyu, "Well, should we head back home?" Sir Seno asked, he sounded a bit disappointed though he did not look it. More like the stubborn one here was Sir Seno instead of Lady Baiyu. "No can do, we haven't looked everywhere." Ania says. There was one place they haven't looked and that was the palace. Sir Seno refused several times to search there, he had doubt that Lady Baiyu would manage something like that. Honestly, Ania wasn't sure why not. Lady Baiyu was quite the beauty and attracting a Emperor sound like something that could happen.

In the end Ania finally got Sir Seno to agree to just check out the palace. If somehow Lady Baiyu was not there then she will give up and they would go home. With the way things are she had no choice but to agree with the terms. Arriving back home in two more days was a strict order that she had to abide by. The only way this would not go well was if they ran into some kind of trouble. If only she knew why it was so important to get back in such a short time.

The two of them arrived at the palace entrance guarded by two huge men, "halt!" One of them held his palm out. "State your business." The other ordered. Ania frowns, this was a bit of a hassle. What now? Sir Seno steps forward and clears his throat, "We are here to visit our family since the emperor has requested for our arrival it's only natural for us to be here, right?" Sir Seno smirks at the guards, "perhaps you wish to upset the emperor?" Both guards looked at each other, it was clear that they did not wish any such thing. Both of them stepped aside letting them through. Seriously, Sir Seno can be pretty scary being able to come up with a tactic like that.

"So now that we entered the palace where do we start?" Ania wondered aloud. She noticed a couple of female servants walking into a room, "we'll need a disguise." She says following behind the servants, Sir Seno right behind her. A few minutes later they exited, Ania grins as she glanced over to Sir Seno. He looked completely angry, but of course he should be since he looked so cute in that servant uniform. She covers her mouth to hide her smile once he glared in her direction. He would definitely get even angrier if she dared tell him that the uniform suited his looks perfectly. "Let's go, the faster we search the faster I can get out of this embarrassing situation." He says coldy.

Ania looks away to try her best to calm her facial features, it would be a real shame once he changes. If only she could preserve this moment for a long time.

Back in Amerra

Vienna stood at her window staring out at the night sky, at the same time she held onto a mysterious letter. In the contents of this letter it seems she had caught the interest of a stranger. Hmm...who could it be? "My Lady." Gilian appears beside Vienna like a shadow. After the talk they had, he started to show his true self. After all, she can't have someone useless by her side. "What is it?" She asked glancing in his direction, "I apologize for disturbing the Lady. But there seems to be a guest." He says slightly bowed.

"My parents?" She asked. "Well, he specifically asked for the Lady." He says. Oh? Vienna stares at Gilian and then smirks. "He asked for me? I see, well then let me go greet this person." She says beaming. Vienna knew one thing about her rebirth, not many would request for her in any lifetime. Whoever it was must be an enemy trying to plot against her. She makes her way down the stairs to the sitting room, once she pushed the doors opened, what greeted her was quite a shock.

"Sixth Uncle!" She was taken aback by the man that sat on the sofa. Excluding his good looks, this man's powerful aura was nothing to scoff at. Why on Earth would he request for her? He stood and made his over to her. She glanced up as he lifts her hand to his mouth to lightly kiss before straightening, "Greetings Sixth Niece, Vienna Kalvica. It's been a while, when was the last time? Ah right, you were just a toddler. Look at you now a fully grown girl. Sixteen, right?" He asked with a gentle smile.

"That's right, though I was young, I still remember Sixth Uncle." She says. That's right in her past life her Uncle also died even though he was just twenty-eight years old. Even then she only met him once as a toddler, she envisioned him as a cold man with no expressions. Seeing him smile ever so gently with those good-looking features is such a surprise. "But why does Uncle come see this Sixth niece?" Vienna asked curiously. "Of course I came to offer my help." He says touching his chest lightly.

Vienna felt a sense of danger, she should be careful of this man. It is said that he was not someone to take lightly. "Offer your help?" She asked, it's best that for now she should pretend ignorance in case he was here as an enemy in the form of a friend, He smirks his eyes slightly narrowed, "to take down the corrupted Kalvicas."
