"Oh my! How are you my dear friend?" as she got down to a ship, she met a light caramel haired lady, Clara Gaile Edwards.
The lady of the other empire wears a yellow victorian gown, paired with a red cravat and a brooch sitting on the tie.
"I'm fine my friend" Zeianna put down her bag, Clara glared at her maid, getting the bag from her friend.
They walked until they reached the carriage. They sat down and Zeianna fell into sleep.
The ship took fifteen hours of travel, she got out of the port on five thirty in the morning before sunrise, and she reached the port of the Hamelia empire at eight thirty in the evening.
"Let's talk about business tomorrow, lady Zeianna Yves Emery is now asleep. Jasmine, kindly take her belongings to the guest room" Clara said while looking at her brother. Her brother is in his age 25 and is going to marry Adelaide De Claro.
Victorino looked at the unconscious Zeianna. He was enchanted by her beauty.
He shook her head, he must keep her faith to lady Adelaide.
Zeianna woke up in a different room. She stretched her body to awake her muscles.
"Good morning lady Zeianna, I am maid Lia, in behalf of lady Clara, I was tasked to be your maid in your stay here" the maid in front of her introduce herself to her.
The maid has short dark brown hair and cheerful green eyes. She wore a maid's outfit.
Zeianna nodded and observed her surroundings. "where's the guest bathroom?"
"Right this way" Lia helped the lady to stand up and lead the way. "I'm going to get some things for bath"
Victorino goes to the house of De Claro to visit the lady there. He brought a bouquet of red peonies.
"Right in time Victorino, Adelaide is in her room fixing herself" the young duke nodded as he waited for his fiancée to go down.
He waited... And waited... And waited.
"I have a business meeting with lady Zeianna Yves Emery of the Rufino empire, please bring this bouquet to her, may she have prosperity and grace" Victorino gave the flower to the butler of the De Claro family and got out of the mansion.
Strange, whenever he go back then, Adelaide respond quickly, but now...
'Maybe she's busy'
"The current situation of all of the businesses here in Hamelia empire is... Falling down, and once it got into their demise, the empire will never export products and will lead into poverty, may I ask a solution for this, lady Zeianna?" Victorino asked the lady who's sitting confidently, sipping tea in the greenhouse.
The private meeting was held in a greenhouse. The weather was perfect for meeting, not too hot, not too cold.
"Help the other business, start at the major business who is responsible for major needs of the empire" Zeianna answered, looking like an airhead since her mind thinks of something.
"Well, aren't you're one of the emperor's cabinet under business? Then why can't you think a solution to help the nobles who has business?" Zeianna raised her right eyebrow as her red eyes scrutinizing him.
"I'm tired and I couldn't think clearly"
"Then why did you become a duke if you can't handle tiredness? If I were you, I would answer my question. And being sleepy is not an answer to my question, just say that you can't answer it and proceed" her voice are covered with condescending emotion.
"Try your luck tomorrow, cause I have meetings with you for one week"
"What are we doing this time Clara?" Zeianna asked her friend who is peeping at someone. "don't tell me we're going to steal something, I don't wanna waste my time"
"We're not, look at him, he's so handsome" she rolled her eyes to her friend who is peeping at that guy.
The guy wears a suit that means that he is a noble, has wavy blonde hair and soft cyan eyes.
"Help me approach him— hey! Why did you pull me?"
"That's the prince of the Rufino Empire, where I live!" she screamed at her friend. Clara's eyes widen looking at the guy.
"I heard that the lady of the Emery Manor is here, look for her and kill her" in utter anger, Zeianna used her teleporting abilities.
"Hey— are you some sort of a monster—"
"I'll explain everything later" then got out of that place and then they go back to the backyard of the Edwards Manor like nothing happened.
"Just... What?!" Clara screamed while she saw Zeianna beside her.
"I'll explain—"
"Explain what?" she asked her with disgust. Zeianna doesn't have to give the answer.
Giving her an answer to Clara's question will make her give her informations to the assassin who's after her.
And their family name, the Juvelino must be kept hidden in the outside world.
"I'm sorry, kindly forget about this" she pointed her forehead and let her fall asleep and forget what happened earlier.
Victorino is now walking back and forth, there is a rumor about a young lady using her blood abilities to kill a lower class man.
According to the neighbours, they saw a black haired lady, with dangerous red eyes that could kill.
He saw Zeianna with a white blouse and a blue slacks. Her blouse became soaked in blood as well as her face.
"Leave us alone" he commanded to his servants. The servants got out of his office and he clenched Zeianna's blouse.
"What have you done?!" he screamed at her face. He looked at her emotionless face.
"That guy got paid by a crown prince to kill me" she emotionally said. "you shouldn't did that"
"If I didn't do that, I'll die"
"Just" Victorino breathed and he put the lady down, Zeianna fixed her blouse. "stay here and don't do it again, I don't want to stain our name because of this"
"Stain your name? Your family name is already stained" Zeianna said, smirking while going away.
"You're putting things in astray, but someday it will be revealed, not now but soon"
