"Good Morning Ms. Shia!! Here's some freshly made bread today!" the baker said while giving the woman whom she called Shia a bag of breads
"Thank you Mr. Peter!! Your shop breads are my favorite, mostly the croissant" she replies with a sweet smile on her face
"Be careful on you way back" he said as they wave at each other
She walk out of the shop and look at the healthy sun with a smile on her face
"Teaacchheerr!!!" she immediately look at the direction where the voice came from
"Yue!! Don't run" she approach the young girl who is running towards her
"Teacher are you here to buy some bread and Coffee?" the young girl asked with a big smile on her face
"Yes I am, what are you doing now Yue?" she asked and the young girl pointed towards the fountain's direction
"There is a mysterious man playing some harp near the fountain!! I saw a pink hair passing by so I knew it was teacher!!" Yue grabs her hands and pull her towards the fountain
"Let's watch it!!" Yue looks at her and smiles brightly
Shia sigh and just smile hopeless
"Ok" she hold Yue's hand and they both approach the man who is hiding his face under his black cape
"Teacher, is harp very expensive?" Yue asked without looking at her
"Yes it is" shia answer while looking directly at the man
'If he have a such beautiful harp then he must be a noble or something' she thought to herself, she peek at Yue who is admiring the man who is playing with the harp
"Now I'm going to play the Anastasia Geada's Pain" the man said and everyone starts whispering
"Speaking of Anastasia Geada" the people who are listening to the mysterious man starts their gossip with one another
"I heard she's dead already" people was silently debating if she is truly dead or alive
"That b*tch should be better off dead you know"
Anastasia Geada, that only Geada that is left. After her family committed treason all of the Geada family members even far relatives was executed but since Anastasia is the Emperor's fiancee during that time, she was able to escape execution and death. She was also given a nickname 'Emperor's B*tch'... people hated her, she was the most hated woman in the empire. They thought she didn't truly loved the Emperor and she is just a spy that planted inside of the palace by her family.
But these past few days... 5 days after the Emperor's wedding, rumors starts spreading about her again, "The Emperor's B*tch is dead" that's the headline. People was so into the rumors that wherever they go they must just talk about her and the rumors of her being dead.
Since she was a powerful mage its kinda hard for them to believe that she is now dead but I guess there is a sign of relief in everyone, she is gone nothing will go against the Emperor's love for the Empress now.
"Teacher who is Anastasia Geada?" Yue look her teacher
"Teacher??" Yue hold her teacher's hand when she saw she was in so much pain and turned really pale, its painted all over her face that she is hurt by something or someone that is so dear to her
"Let's go back Yue" she said as she release Yue hands before turning and walk away
"Teacher?" the young girl was confused and left dumbfounded, she silently walk behind of her teacher
"Hey!! Yue!!!" other kids shout and approach her as they saw her walking down the street
"Let's go and play at the park!!" a young boy hold her hand and pull her towards them
Yue look at her teacher as she continues to walk away, she felt guilty at some point but she doesn't understand why
"He might be the one who spread this rumors" shia whispers to herself as she think who might did it
She look at the sky and give a quick sigh
'It doesn't matter if Anastasia Geada is dead... I'm Shia now' she thought to herself and then she remembered about Yue, she quickly turn around but the young girl is not there anymore
"Maybe I should apologize tomorrow to her" she smile weakly and just continue walking back home
