{ North, Khushi Mansion }
It was summer but the wind was quite chilly.
After all it's North. The wind was tend to be chilly.
But the whole way I was distracted. My thoughts were only filled with Elise.
Why you ask? Well it's Because.....
Elise Clio Salvatore, A supporting character who only appeared at the end of the novel and the only role she played was to assassinate the Crown Prince and then executed with whole Salvatore family because of the law, next day.
The Salvatore family got ruined.
In novel she never got chance to meet the Forrester Appell Salvatore, because there was not even a single moment described them together in novel.
As I was just thinking, the maid Bella put an sheet on the ground by the tree and we sat on it. The tree behind us was huge.
As of curiosity I looked around to see where we were. I noticed that we were far from the mansion but this part of forest was actually the part of mansion?
'Just how much rich we are?'
Although sister Elise doesn't know the reason why my face turned pale but she laughed.
"What's wrong Appell?" she asked me.
To not worry her I replied while pretending to stay calm
"Nothing sister."
I pretend to stay calm as much as possible. But it was impossible to stay calm. How can I stay calm when I become so rich overnight.
It was not as if I was poor in my past life.
I was actually rich. People used to said that I was born with a golden spoon in my mouth. I was rich not mainly because I was champion of Kendo and Fencing but because of my 6 elder sisters.
My 1st sister was world know explorer. She explored the things which was not even mention in history. She was even a professor of top university. She was known as a bookworm by us.
My 4th followed her footsteps. She also like to study just like her and wanted to be like her. She become a well know surgeon. Just like my 1st sister she was also a bookworm.
And also my 3rd sister who was a CEO of an designer company. Well she doesn't like to read much but still she can be called as a nerd.
Expect my 1st, 3rd, and 4th sister who only likes to read books, my 2nd, 5th, 6th sister and me were different.
My 6th sister was totally different. she never liked study so she decided to become a chef, After her cooking got world famous, she opened her own seven star hotels.
My 2nd sister was a movie star. She was know as the queen of Hollywood and she has won numerous awards. She rarely comes home.
And as for my 5th sister, She was an novelist. She was famous for her BL novel among girls. And she also doesn't like to study expect novels of course.
My parents were also champion of there own sword skills. And just like my parents I was famous for my sword kills.
And because of this I was really really really rich but not this much of an rich person.
Look at this mansion sparkling far from here. And even though we are so far how come this mansion still looks so big?
Should I say that this time I was born with Platinum spoon in my mouth?
Then if by any chance I were to born into imperial family, what spoon would I have in my mouth? Diamond?
'Just why am I having this useless thoughts.' I shaked my head to not think of an useless things again.
I soon shift my gaze towards my sister who was constantly staring at me with confused face.
I sighed, she tilted her face as she was confused. She take out a piece of pie from basket and hand it to me.
"Eat this Appell."
I take plate from her and started to eat. I gazed at her as she was eating her piece. I realized that no matter how mature she tried to act she was still 11 year old child. Of course she would enjoy her pie like a normal child.
I glanced at Bella who was standing behind her, and giving only warm smile. Even though she looks friendly and harmless, I can clearly her your facade.
I was peeking at her when she saw me staring at her, she gace me a smile as friendly as she can. But I can tell that she is mocking me, so I glared at her. When Bella saw my glared she flinched and rubbed her eyes and looked at me again to conform.
"Did I see wrong?" she mumble slightly but I was able to heart it clearly.
I controlled myself as I didn't want to alert her because if she got alert then there are many changes that either she will run away or I won't be able to find anything, so I just smile warmly.
'I thought I saw a beast on wait.'
She got relaxed way too soon. And replied back by smile.
"Oh my Appell! You didn't like the pie? Do you wanna eat something else? Wait let me....."
My sister started to search the basket.
"Ah....That's not it sister. I really like this pie."
"Really! Then here eat lot."
I sighed again because she is too innocent. Is she really the Elise Clio Salvatore who assassinate the Crown Prince? I doubt.
I was enjoying my time with my sister. Quite a time had pass and we were lying on the ground. A man who work for our family came running to us to tell my sister that her friend lady Araceli from Asclepius family have come.
I opened my eyes as soon as I heard that my sister's friend has came. I gazed at my sister and saw she was happy.
'I don't remember my sister having a friend.'
In the novel she was barely mention let alone her friend. Well even if her friend was not described in novel doesn't mean she doesn't exist. Just like our relationship which was not even once mentioned in novel. But right now we are as close as I used to be with my sister's in my past life.-
She must want to meet her friend.
Before I could speak a word she got up and asked the man if it was real. When the man nod his head and she turned to left she stopped and glance at me.
"Uh....Appell....you....see....actually...."
She was hesitating. I sighed because I couldn't understand why she is hesitating.
"Big sister, how about this, we will continue our picnic later." with a warm smile I said.
She got happy again and before going back to mansion she kissed me on my right cheek. I said bye to her and again lay down.
I was tired because of this heavy body so I wanted to fall asleep. But there was one tiny problem....
'I can't fall asleep because this devil Bella is continuously staring at me.'
I wanted to cry but of course I couldn't. I get up and forced a smile on my face and I told her to call for my maid and tell Rosa to bring me some books. The maid looked at me.
"Yes, Young master"
She bow before me and then left.
I again fall back and started to think.
'Lady Araceli, I have never heard this name before, have I?'
Well I have never heard this name before but I'm familiar with the Asclepius name. I'm sure that I have heard this name before. But where?
I fall asleep.
***
"Hello, anyone here?"
How came I'm suddenly here. I remembered I was at mansion. The path before me was covered with fog. As I was walking ahead the fog started to fade.
I stopped walking. Because the scene ahead of me was quite terrified.
A bloody scene before my eyes was terrified. I was standing at the land full of blood stain. Before me was two person lying on the bloody ground. One person was fat while the other with long hair was lying on his lap.
The man with long hair was covered with blood. The blood was coming out of his mouth. I can tell from afar that he was on verge of dying.
But even if I wanted to go there I couldn't move from my place.
'I-I can't move.'
The man coverd with blood spoke.
"I have never once regretted having you as my friend. You were my friend, You are my friend and you will always be my friend."
And with the last word he died.
'Why can't I move? Just what is this?'
The fat boy whose face I couldn't saw before become vividly clear. It was none other than the Forrester Appell Salvatore.
I could saw sadness from Forrester's eyes but I couldn't saw any tears falling from his eyes because he didn't cry.
'Th-Then is this Forrester's memory?'
I'm seeing Forrester's memory right now. This is his memory, the memory he left behind for me.
I wanted to comfort him so I wanted to get close to him but before I could, I fall from the ground I was standing and was keep falling until I woke up joltly while fanting.
'Ha....Ha....'
I thought I was again trapped in endless abyss.
When I woke up my maid who was standing there while holding my book hand me over the water glass to me. I saw her and take the water class from her and drank it.
"Young master, are you okay? You are sweating."
I gave her an empty glass and said I was okay.
"Young master, do you wanna read a book?"
"No need."
I lay back again because I was tired and while looking at blue sky I was thinking about that man with long hair.
I couldn't saw anything except that he has long hair.
'He must the friend of Forrester who died because of him.'
But the only friend of Forrester mentioned in novel was....what was his name?
'Ah...I remember now. It was.....'
I got up joltly as I sensed someone's presence.
"Young master?"
My maid who was standing besides me quietly looked at me.
"Do you need something, Young master?"
The presence I was feeling was actually kind of warm.
I smiled as I figured out who's presence I felt.
"You can leave."
I told her to leave and the maid bow down to me and then left with the book I hand her over.
I get up from the carpet and take out a red apple from the basket and throw it toward the tree which was only 20 inch was away from the tree where I was resting.
A small hand came out from tree which catch the apple I trew.
"So, for how long are you gonna hide there, Jace?"
The young boy jumped down from the tree and looked up and meet my eyes.
Jace Diesel Asclepius. Skin as white as cloud of the sky and just like the sky his hair was blue. Short deep blue hair. The pair of golden eyes which looks just like the eyes of a snake which makes him beautiful but at the same time also dangerous.
And Jace Diesel Asclepius is also from the Asclepius family.
Asclepius family was the second family who received title of the Duke by the first Emperor Azrail. And also the second in strongest in term of power.
The head of the Asclepius family is not a Duke but Duchess.
They have power of summoning. They can summon the mythical creatures and the beasts. They are known as the Duke of summoner or the King of summoners.
And Jace Diesel Asclepius was the second son of the Asclepius family and only friend of the main villain Forrester.
But he died while protecting Forrester and so his family also got ruined because they helped the Salvatore family which means rebelled against the imperial family. Just like Salvatore they were also ordered to executed.
But before they executed they fight back and died on the battle.
As for the reason why they help the Salvatore family was mainly because his son got killed by the Crown Prince. And they were also close friends.
He died a day before when the Real Forrester died.
"Catch it"
Jace throws the apple back to me and with one hand I caught the apple.
He walk towards me.
