I turned my gaze to the person who saved me from falling, i don't know why but I thought it was the Emperor but got surprised to see a totally different person.
The man who cought me had wavy green and blue hair and distinctive blueish green eyes which seemed to illuminate in contact with mine "So I finally became taller than you" the handsome man spoke "please may I know who I have the honour to speak to , so I may thank him properly for his good did" I spoke while putting my body back in place and bowing to the kind man in respect. "so you can't remember me any more little sword girl" ooh my goodness there was only one person who usually called me like that and it was my childhood friend Lucasian Anorexia "Oh my, don't tell me you are Luca " and he nodded yes "Oh my God, how did you get that tall ? and your hair before you left,you used to tie it in two buns and your voice, it is not longer as I remember" I smiled anxiously, pinching and exploring his face with my fingers better.
"Isabelle stop, i have only grown a little compared to you, now you even talk kindly to people and have grown beautiful features" I just smiled to what he said and took him to a seat in the garden.
"So why are you here? ,are you done with school?" I asked him "Not really am in a level called university and even bought you a gift from that world" ♡what could it be♡ i thought inwardly, he removed a strange object and handed it to me then he clicked on it which made me jump in fear and threw it away, this was caused because that object light up and there were flowers prisoned in it.
"ohh no am really sorry for destroying your gift" I excused myself for what I just did then looked once more at the cute man my friend had become which couldn't hold himself form laughing at me "Don't worry Isabelle, i brought as many as you can break, it is called a phone" "a phoone " I tried to repeat after him "no Isabelle, a phone" I recalled the word once more in my head then repeated it once more which was correct.
A cold breeze flew in between us making me shiver a little "What if we head to our respective semipalaces" Luca suggested, i was not feeling sleepy yet so I kindly declined and suggested him to go get some rest instead but he equally declined my suggestion.
"Clara told me you were one of the Ladies who were chosen for the Emperor " Luca spoke with a almost sad look. "All that was the plan of my stepmother " I replied while leaning on his broad shoulders "I was also told the Emperor seemed to find more pleasure in you" Luca spoke to me while I was battling with sleep and finally he won. "Isabelle, you remember when I told you I will grow bigger and stronger for you. I think the time has come, Isabelle you are the most beautiful music I have ever head , in fact one which tormented me for so long and I am hear to finally have it for myself " the man smiled cheerfully at me as he notice I had fallen asleep and gathered me to his arms and then to my room . when he placed me on my bed, then he kissed me goodbye.
The next morning when my maid Norea woke me up, i could fill all my body ache "Isabelle your family is waiting for you in the main hall, am on my way to prepare your bath" Norea spoke before she left to take care of my bath.
As she spoke, many questions ran through my head, why did the family wake me up soo early, and why do they want to see me. Before I could properly awaken myself, Rockzan entered my room with a wide grin.
"What is the good news? " I asked noticing how happy
she was "Mom told me not reveal anything but you are needed now, your father is so happy and your stepmother is offering gifts to all the servants" Rockzan spoke, i was so tired that I didn't recall anything which happened the before today.
Hearing what Rockzan had told me, i hurriedly took a bath and then walked as quickly as possible. when I arrived at the end of the long corridor, i could find my Dad smilling just like Rockzan and Lillian smilling too also, i noticed a very large and beautiful ball gown probably made with the most expensive materials, my dad noticing my presence, smiled at me and made a sign for me to come closer.
when I succeeded to aproach him, he looked at me ones more as if it was the last time he will see me, then pecked me in both cheeks before finally explaining the situation "My daughter, i am so proud of you today, you succeeded in making the Emperor chose you " what! now all the memories of the day before flooded my brain. I didn't want to get married now and most of all not to the Emperor. I felt tears trying to sip through my eyes so I ran outside. " why did she run that way?" Lillian asked "is surely joy" my dad responded.
I was soo angry that I couldn't see were am going to cause tears had blurred my vision so I ended up hitting someone which made us both fall, him on the bottom and I on him.
