"Where is this? Where am I? Why it's so dark? " the girl thought to herself while trying to search for some light.
"I'm scared... "
"I want to go home... "
"Someone just saves me... "
The girl opens her eyes only to find that she staring at an unknown ceiling. The girl gets up from the bed and tries to examine the room. She didn't remember how she got there. But, she knows that she needs to get out. She examines the door and searches for the key. She found it located on top of the shelves. She plucks the key in and opens the door.
The first thing she saw was a long corridor. She takes a breather and proceeds to walk. She saw some portraits that she doesn't recognise. But, one portrait catches her eye. It was a portrait of a couple. A man that has pale blue-violet eyes and messy mauve hair with faded tips was smiling brightly at the woman.
The woman has dark blue ombre hair that reaches past her hips. But, the face of the woman was faceless. Suddenly, she heard some strange noise coming to her right. She looks in that direction and wonders about it.
"What is that noise? " the girl thought to herself.
Ignoring the noise, she turned her head back to the portrait only to find that it was gone. She backed away from the wall looking scared. Then, she heard the noise again. She followed the noise and arrived in front of a big door. She opened it and found herself in the dining area. She saw that the food is being served. She gets close to it and she can tell that it was freshly made.
"Hmm...It has been so long since I talk to a human... " a voice can be heard behind her. She turned around and stare at the man. She recognised him as the man from the portrait.
"Say, should we have some conversation? " the man asked her and made his way to a chair beside her. After sensing no danger from the man, the girl sits down on the chair.
"So, would you like a cup of tea? " the man ask and look at her. He patiently waits for her answer but, nothing comes out of her mouth.
"Oh, you can't talk? " the man asks and she just nods her head. "Here, use this... " The man gave her a notebook and a pen for her to write.
"Who are you? Why am I here? " the girl show it to him.
"Why you are here? Well, I guess it's fate that brought you here. As for who I am...You will know soon " the man answers her with a bright smile.
The girl is not satisfied with the answer, since he didn't answer the question. She looks at him patiently waiting for him to elaborate more.
"Do you remember your name? " the man asks her.
She thinks for a bit, trying to recall her name. What is her name again? When she finally recalled it, she write it down and show it to him.
"Renee... " the man repeated the word and look at her. His eyes look sad but, she will ask him another time.
"Where is this place? " Renee asks the man.
"This mansion is located in Eudaemonia, you probably remember where Eudaemonia is don't you? "
Of course, she remembered, Eudaemonia is a kingdom which is the second biggest after Kirrentho. Not only that, but Eudaemonia also knows for its academy...Daylight Horizon College DHC for short.
"So... You're telling me that we're in Eudaemonia? " Renee shows her question to him.
"You know, you don't have to write in the book...I can understand sign language and I can lip reading " the man says as he smiles at her.
"Then, why don't you tell me earlier?! " the girl make some sign language looking mad.
"Well, it's more fun that way " the man chuckled a bit.
"Say, do you remember anything else? Other than your name? " the man asked curiously.
Renee just shakes her head towards him. The man put his hand on his chin and begin to think.
"I know! You can stay here! " the man lit up after he shares his idea with her.
Renee was shocked at the news. How could a stranger offer a stranger someplace? He doesn't need to do that. Besides, what would happen if she turn out to be a bad person?
"Well, since you don't remember anything...It's safe to assume that you don't remember where you live right? "
Well, he has a point. But, it still seems weird. Nothing comes for free. There will always be people who ask for something in return.
"How did I get here? " Renee shows him the question that she wrote in the book.
"Well, I guess that story is for another time...You must be feeling sleepy right now... " the man says as he looks at Renee.
How could she feel sleepy after she just woke up? But for some reason, her eyelids start to get heavier until she can't open them anymore. Her head falls to the table with a thud.
"Goodnight... " the man's voice can be heard as a lullaby rings inside Renee's head.
When morning arrives, Renee is awake by the sound of the curtain being raised. She open her eyes and look at the person who was standing in front of the window. From the look of it, the man wears a butler outfit. His hair was black longer-length which is styled in an untidy manner.
He notices that Renee is awake and staring at him. He walks to her bed and apologizes sincerely.
"I'm sorry young lady, did I wake you up? " he ask Renee who was looking at him.
Renee is mesmerized by the butler's eyes. Ignoring the butler's question. It has a pretty gold colour. It feels like she is immersed in it.
"Um...young lady? Is everything alright? " the butler asks her again so that she will come back to earth.
She snaps back to reality embarrassed. She searches for the notebook to apologize to him. The butler gives her the notebook that she received last night and she begins to write something.
"I'm sorry for staring! It just...Your eyes are really pretty... " Renee keep turning the page and looking down since she was so embarrassed about the situation.
The butler startled for a bit but he left a small chuckle seeing her reaction. He introduced himself to Renee.
"I'm the butler that has been assigned to take care of you during your stay here. My name is Isaac...Please to meet you, my lady... " Isaac bow down to Renee. Renee blush a bit but she regain her composure.
"I'm Renee, please to meet you, I will be in your care from now on " Renee showed it to him and he smiled.
Renee look around the room and look confused. She wants to ask him, but it seems like he already knows what she will ask.
"This room has been specifically picked for you, my lady...The young master pick it specifically for you, do you like it? " he asks Renee and watch her walk to the window.
Renee watch the window and was mesmerised by the view. It was beautiful. She can see the garden is decorated with many types of flowers.
"That is the young master's favourite place in this mansion, would you like to go there? " the butler asks Renee and she answers him with a nod.
