"Onee-chan" I turned my head to Alex, currently at his bedroom while each of us read a book while sitting up the bed with our back leaning against the headboard
"What is it Alex?" In the past few days the doctor said Alex Is getting better by the day thanks to the help of the Morrison flower and he may have a chance to survive
"Can you promise me to protect mom, while I'm not with you?" He innocently asked, why does a feeling of uncertainty building up inside me? My heart is betting faster and it's not excitement
"What are you saying silly boy, I don't have to promise, I know I can protect mom and you, and someday you will too, and don't say that, your going to get better ok" I patted his head and planted a kiss to his forehead, our conversation was interrupted by a knock on the door
"Forgive me for interrupting you iris-sama kaito-sama, but Madame ask for iris-sama's presence--there are guest that needed to be attended at the hall" guest? I sure hope it's not that man, I said goodbye to Alex and told him that I'll return shortly
"Madame, iris-sama is here" thet opened the door then a group of three stood up, I walked toward my mother's side "greeting everyone, I am iris natasha Everhart, daughter of duchess Everhart, please to meet you" I gracefully greeted them, the beautiful woman who had light green hair and blue eyes giggled
"How lucky your are to have such a marvelous daughter, duchess Everhart" the man or her husband clapped his hands happily and added
"Yes it is a fortune indeed, and how old is she--10 years old, and she already mastered all her lesson" a young boy--whom I don't know, and a little taller than me, stood beside his mother with his eyes fixed on me
"Vincent why don't you introduce yourself?" His mother patted his shoulder and pushed him a little
"Good afternoon, duchess Everhart, young miss, I'm Vincent ishikawa son of Duke ishikawa" great another capture targets, well as long as he won't bring doom to me then it's fine..
"Please to meet you, young master ishikawa" I offered my hand to him, he gently accepted it and the two of us should hands
"The pleasure is all mine, young miss Everhart and please call me Vincent" I agree, young miss Everhart is too long
"Natasha why don't you and vincent-sama play at the garden while me and his parents chat" I nodded my head, and Vincent and I walked towards the garden
"Welcome to the garden of the Everhart's residence, vincent-sama" the garden of my house I very big and beautiful, it had many sorts of flower
"Come I'll take you to my herb garden!" I smiled at him and held his hand and pulled him toward my own little green house..
"Ta-da!" In the past few years, I've been growing and learning about herbs in hope of finding a cure for Alex and it's quite a few actually
"May I ask why young miss Everhart grow herbs?" I shook my head and patted his right shoulder
"You don't need to be so formal, vincent-sama, you can just call me iris or natasha, and to answer your question, I'm growing herbs in hope of finding a cure for my twin brother" Everytime I talked about Alex and his illness I can't help but be sad
"Don't worry natasha-sama, I'm sure you'll be able to do it, and I hope for fast recovery for young master Everhart" I gave him a faint smile and thank him in return

After that I never got to see him again, since he had a future Duke training, being a prodigy child, I've already completed my future duchess training when I was 7 years old
