"Child.." I heard a soft, warm voice calling me. I slowly opened my eyes and saw blank space that looks like the dark sky at night. It seems like I'm floating in a space.
"My child.. Over here" I heard the voice calling me again.
I spun myself toward the voice and there's a blindly
light. I blocked the blind light from my eyes with my hands.
"Who are you?" I asked.
Weird.. My mouth doesn't move at all while I'm saying that. It seems like I am
talking with a telepathy.
"I'm Clemencia. One of the goddess that Somerset kingdom's worshipped." I gasped in shock. Goddess
Clemencia? Am I dreaming? I'm not dead, am I?
"My child.. Your soul has been separated from your body now if that is what you are wondering." Goddess
Clemencia said. So, I am dead. It's actually real. I suddenly feel sad. It's my fault. I shouldn't did that.
"It seems that you are regretting your last decision. Would you redeemed yourself if I offer you a chance?" The goddess said. A chance? What does she mean?
"You could be back with your family as long as you promise to compensate your faults from before. Would you like my offer?" the goddess said. Does she read my mind. It seems that she know what I'm thinking of now. I removed my hands. The blinding light suddenly doesn't hurt my eyes anymore. Instead, it felt warm. It felt as if as I was being forgiven for my sins.
"Yes Mother Mercy. I would like to accept the offer. I'll do anything as long as I can be with my family again. I want another chance to redeem my family and myself." I said with determination.
"Very well."the goddess said. At the moment, I suddenly was engulfed in light and my heas started to feel a bit dizzy. After a while, the light started to disappear with my dizziness and all I saw was darkness.
My eyes suddenly felt sleepy.
"Remember my child. Never fall to the evil whisper that will lead you to your mishaps. Make only good choices. This is your last chance."
The Goddess voice faintly told me her last words before I was knock out.
"Miss.. Miss Aria. Wake up." I heard someone call out for me.
It sounded like Renee, the maid that in charge of me at our household. Didn't Renee
had stopped working for us half a year ago. Did she came back?
"Miss..? Please wake up miss. You will have breakfast with your family in an hour." I heard Renee's voice again.
I tried to open my eyes to detect my whereabout. I saw the drawing of a beautiful, kind-looking goddess blessings the people on the ceiling when I opened. This is my room's ceiling. My touching sense finally comes to me when I can felt something soft under my body. So I am on a bed. I tried to gain strength to my get up from the bed. A person supported me from the side. I looked to my side to find that it was Renee.
"RENEE??!" I asked.
Renee saw me and asked, "Yes miss? Do you need anything?"
"Renee? Didn't you stop working with us a half year ago? What are you doing here?" I asked Renee.
Renee looked at my face confused. Did I perhaps said something wrong?
"Miss.. I never quit from the Marquess Aldrich household. I've been here with Miss Aria since I was ten. Are you okay miss? Why did you said that?"Renee asked me while looking at me as if I am a weird person.
But a few seconds after that change into sad and afraid expression. She gasped.
"Are you perhaps going to fired me because of my carelessness? Oh please miss. I need to stay here for my family. They will starve if I don't stay here miss." Renee begged. I widen my eyes when I see her like that and stopped her.
"No Renee, no. I wouldn't fired you. Why would I? No one wants to take care of me instead of you
alone. Why are you thinking like that?" I asked her.
"Then why did Miss Aria said that I had stopped working? A half year ago even." Renee asked me again. I just gone speechless and just shake my head.
"Nothing Renee. Maybe my mind is just messed up." I said.
Weird.. Suddenly a flash of memory shows that I killed myself come through my mind. Right, I was about to executed and.. the prince! The Prince was about to kill me and I killed myself instead. My breath hitched by the sudden memory flash. Renee called out my name and tries to calm me down. She also
asked for the other maid to inform the butler to call a doctor and inform father about my condition. I felt dizzy and finally knock myself out into darkness.
