''Welcome home , my dear cousin.'' Rebecca's eyes widened in surprise when she saw Nop standing in the grandeur of the entrance hall, surrounded by the opulence of the mansion. She couldn't help but feel a mix of curiosity and doubt. Rebecca wondered how Nop had gained access to the mansion and why he was surrounded by the servants. As she was approached him, she couldn't help but question if there was a deeper reason behind his sudden presence in their family's ancestral home, wondering what had brought Nop to this unexpected place.
''Why are you here,Nop? And what's all this? '' She was asking about the servants all around the mansion doing things and the furniture being rearranged. It seemed odd to Rebecca that Nop would have such authority over the household staff and be involved in the rearrangement of their belongings. She couldn't shake off the feeling that there was more to Nop's presence than met the eye, and she was determined to uncover the truth behind his sudden appearance and involvement in their ancestral home.
''What ? Aren't you happy I am here with you? And this mansion is too big for just four to live here; It would be so dull, so boring, Nop explained, which made Rebecca crease her brows and glare at him.
''What? '' Nop asked innocently, feigning ignorance of Rebecca's disapproval. However, Rebecca couldn't help but feel a sense of unease and suspicion about Nop's true intentions. She wondered if there was something he wasn't telling them, something that could potentially disrupt their peaceful lives in the mansion.
''Did my parents tell you to come? '' Rebecca asked, her voice tinged with skepticism. Nop's innocent expression faltered for a moment before he replied, "No, they didn't. I just thought it would be more fun to have more people around." Rebecca's unease grew as she couldn't shake off the feeling that Nop was hiding something important from her.
''I didn't want company, Nop, Rebecca said in a low but venomous voice.
Nop was unable to speak as he saw Rebecca's chest go up and down, preventing her from exploding in anger. Her eyes narrowed, and Nop could see the anger building within her. He quickly realized that he had underestimated the gravity of his decision and the impact it had on Rebecca.
''Okay, just please cal-". He was cut off by Rebecca's outburst.
''I want you all out when I come back .'' Nop was shocked by what Rebecca had just said and could see the hurt and betrayal in her eyes. He had never seen her so angry before, and it made him realize the depth of his mistake. Nop knew he had to find a way to make it right, but he also understood that it would take time for Rebecca to forgive him.
Freen , Miss Nam , and Irin were just standing there watching, stunned by Rebecca's outburst.
Irin was about to follow Rebecca, but Miss Nam held her hand and shook her hand. "Irin, let her go," Miss Nam said softly. "Rebecca needs some time alone to process everything. We should give her the space she needs." Irin nodded reluctantly, understanding that rushing after Rebecca might only make things worse. They all stood in silence for a moment, unsure of what to do next.
But Freen made her way out of the mansion. '' Where are you going, Freen? " Miss Nam asks .
'' I'll be back in a minute; I'll just go somewhere.'' And with that, she ran off into the distance, leaving the rest of them bewildered. Miss Nam exchanged a concerned glance with Irin before turning her attention back to Rebecca's direction, where she ran off, hoping that she would find solace in her solitude. Miss Nam and Irin exchanged worried glances, unsure of how to help Lady Rebecca. They knew that she needed some time alone to process her emotions, but they couldn't shake off the feeling of concern for her well-being. As they watched Freen disappear into the distance, both of them sighed and looked at Nop, who was now looking pissed.
''What are you looking at? Go do work, you useless trash! '' Nop burst out to them, which made Miss Nam grip the side of her dress. She knew that Nop's outburst was a result of his own frustration and stress, but it still hurt to be spoken to in such a demeaning manner. Ignoring his harsh words, Miss Nam took a deep breath and turned her attention back to Irin , who was looking so scared and trembling while holding the luggage they were assigned to carry. Miss Nam gently approached Irin and spoke softly, "It's okay, Irin. You don't have to be afraid. We're a team, and we'll help each other." Irin nodded, her trembling subsiding slightly as she found comfort in Miss Nam's reassuring words.
'' Come with me; let's bring this stuff to Lady Rebecca's room, Miss Nam suggested. Irin hesitated for a moment, still feeling uncertain, but she mustered up the courage to follow Miss Nam. Together, they walked down the hallway towards Lady Rebecca's room, their steps becoming more confident with each passing moment.
'' Lady Rebecca, your luggage is here; can we get in? '' Irin says as she knocks on the door but no answer . Miss Nam and Irin looked at each other. They exchanged concerned glances, unsure of what to do next. Irin decided to try knocking again, this time a little louder, hoping Lady Rebecca would hear them and respond. But there was still no answer, so Miss Nam decided to open the door and was shocked to find it was not locked at all. So, Miss Nam and Irin exchange glances again before they enter the room, which is empty.
''Aunt. Lady Rebecca is not here, Irin says, and she puts the luggage on the floor. Worry was visible in her face as she looked at her aunt.
''I know; I am not blind, Irin, Miss Nam said calmly, like it was an obvious thing to say.
''What should we do? What if something bad happened to her? '' Irin said with panic in her voice.
'' Calm down, stay here, and don't tell anyone, Miss Nam commanded.
''What should I do then? '' Irin said it again with panic, going back and forth.
'' Put the things where they should be arranged, like you should. I will go find Lady Rebecca and bring her back; if Lord Nop asks about her, just tell him she's having her house tour, Miss. Nam said calmly, telling Irin what exactly to do.
Irin nodded and started her task, and Miss Nam left the room and walked like she knew where to find Lady Rebecca.
While Miss Nam was walking in this familiar hallway, memories of a child who excitedly ran through the hallway with her best friend, Kade, running behind the child. As she remembered the memories, she traced the familiar patterns on the walls with her fingertips, feeling a sense of nostalgia wash over her. The sound of her own footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, creating a haunting melody that seemed to resonate with the bittersweet memories of her past.
And there she saw a familiar figure lying freely on the ground. The Garden is not as brightly alive as before, but it still has the essence of familiarity. Miss Nam smiled at the memories this place held, but as she was about to approach the girl, she saw another familiar figure that unlocked a memory that she temporarily wasn't able to recall.
How could I forget about this kid? Miss Nam taps her head in stupidity.
''So it was you, the kid with crown flowers.'' Miss Nam laughed to herself, remembering the stress this kid had given her back in the days when these kids were still young.
''Hmm..this is interesting.'' She laughed again, remembering Kade when Kade was the one who said those words, and now she is the one saying them. She can even recall how the two of them fought over a kid; she just laughs at it now as she remembers. This crown flower girl always starts chaos, making them have a hard time hiding the young lady from the sight of people.And people are wondering why there is this child with white hair inside the mansion, while people are gossiping about the child. Lord Armstrong will always scold them for being reckless and not being able to stop the kid from going outside the mansion.
Miss Nam shook her head with a smile and decided to stay and watch the two from a far.

Freen ran through the field, hoping she'd find the flowers she used to make crowns with, but stopped making dust cloud her feet and hid on the tall grasses as she saw a goddess cutely kick the grasses and punch the air.
Freen smiled widely, seeing how cute this woman is. She couldn't resist the adorable charm of the woman, even when pissed. She looked around to find something to lighten the mood. Spotting colorful wild flowers, she gathered them all, but the problem was how she'd give them to the lady without being caught. She saw that Lady Rebecca was pissed at the wild wind blowing, and she had an idea. Freen smiled at the idea and ran to a not-so-tall tree. She put the flowers on her dress and tied it to not let the flowers fall. She made sure they wouldn't be seen, as the tree was also covered by tall grass.
''Please, wind blow with me; just give me this one; I just want to see her smile.'' Freen prayed eagerly with close eyes .
But when she opened her eyes, Lady Rebecca was already gone. Disappointed for not being able to do her plan, Freen sighed and decided to get off the tree and free the flowers from her clothes. But suddenly a strong wind blows, and Freen holds on to the tree branch tightly, and flowers fly freely with the wind. Together with dandelions, they dance in midair.
And there she saw a goddess getting up and happily chasing the flowers with a wide smile. The goddess's laughter filled the air as she twirled and leaped, gracefully catching the petals in her hands. Freen couldn't help but be mesmerized by the joy and beauty radiating from the goddess, feeling a sense of awe and wonder in that magical moment.
Freen's Pov
While she was walking and running chasing dandelions and flowers I was here not far away smiling walking with her without her knowing and enjoying every moment of it. I hope it doesn't end and she dances with the flowers in the air I dance too but she can't see. There is nothing more fun today.
Rebecca's POV
Just like that and my day is back to good I dance with the wind with a smile on my lips as chase the flowers the wind blows. But that's not the main reason I am happy it's because of her.
She's here
She's here with me
I can feel her presence nearby
Bit by bit slowed my pace
I wanna walk with her and I feel her presence with me.
I wish I could see her
I wish she would show herself to me.
I am really happy she's here with me
She's real.
She's not just an imaginary friend like what my parents always said to me.
I knew from the very start she's real
And suddenly an idea came to my mind
I grinned
I slowed my paced walk and run i can hear her following me and I run fast pretending to catch some dandelions and i grinned and abrubtly stop and look back I'll be catching her now.
"Gotcha" I said as I look back to surprise her.
But I am more surprised.
My world seems to stop as I saw the woman behind me trying her best to stop herself from falling towards me.
"Aaah"
