The Ledlan family's butler reads the news. Sitting on a chair, the sweet fragrance of roses everywhere.
***
Adury Ledlan wakes up from the deep slumber. Not knowing where she is, she looked everywhere her eyes scanning the room.
It was not the previous room she knew, but Adury felt that she knew this place. But unable to remember when she had came here.
A voice cut through the silence, warm yet firm, like a lullaby with an edge. 'Miss Audry, are you feeling well now?'
She looked at the voice direction and with a smile she said Yes. I am feeling somewhat better Anna.
What happened Adury asked despite knowing the answer, she had to be sure.
Anna replied with a simple answer: It's bad. Sir Armin will tell you everything.
Audry didn't ask anything else.
Anna her maid while combing her hair said to Audry "Madam, Sir Armin is waiting for you in the garden."
Audry looking at the mirror said to Anna, after breakfast, I will go to see him. Okay, madam.
***
Audry for a long time knew Anna her personal maid. So she was very close to Audry I see Afreen though eating her breakfast like a proper lady.
The memory and habit of Audry Ledlan helping her.
After having her breakfast she asked, "Anna take me to Armin". Okay, madam please follow my lead.
Audry walked beside her gracefully. Wanting to act as naturally as possible. Audry hesitated at the doorway, the world beyond shimmering with morning light.
When she finally stepped outside, the sun-kissed her pale cheeks, and the cool breeze carried the fragrance of roses, wrapping her in a bittersweet embrace. Her chest tightened, the beauty of the garden clashing with the heaviness of the tragedy she'd left behind.
Audry strolled through the sprawling garden, her footsteps light against the stone path. Beside her, Anna moved with quiet grace, her presence a steadying comfort amidst the riot of color and fragrance that filled the air.
The air was thick with the heady perfume of roses, each breath drawing in its sweetness.
Vibrant blooms spilled across the garden in a sea of red, their velvety petals catching the sunlight like drops of crimson fire.
Amidst the sea of roses, an elderly man sat poised on an ornate wooden chair, the morning light casting soft shadows across his deeply lined face.
A newspaper rested loosely in one hand, while the other cradled a steaming cup, wisps of vapor curling lazily into the crisp air.
As Audry stepped into the garden, Armin rose from his chair with deliberate grace, his movements marked by the stiffness of age. 'Are you feeling well now, Miss Audry?'
He asked, his voice a mix of concern and formality.
Audry lifted her gaze to meet his, the faint sunlight catching the edges of her crimson eyes. With a small nod and a soft smile, she replied, 'I'm feeling better now, thank you'.
'Good. Please, have a seat,' Armin said, gesturing to the chair across from him. Audry lowered herself gracefully onto the cushioned seat, her posture poised.
Armin followed suit, sitting back in his chair with a sigh that betrayed his age. Anna stood silently at Audry's side, her hands folded neatly in front of her, a quiet pillar of support.
Armin's gaze rested on her crimson eyes, his voice steady yet weighted with sorrow. 'Madam, the funeral will be held three days from now.
I'm sure you're already aware, but I must tell you… You were found in the mansion, and you were the only survivor of that disaster.' He paused, his words hanging in the air like a heavy fog. 'Can you recall anything from that night?'
Audry's hands tightened on her lap, her knuckles pale against the fabric of her dress.
Her voice, low and strained, broke the silence. 'I… I only remember seeing my brother and sister in that state…' Her breath hitched, but she forced herself to continue. 'And then everything went blank.'
Armin studied her face for a long moment, his expression unreadable. 'Is that so,' he said finally, his tone measured.
'Yes,' Audry replied firmly, her voice now sharper, as if daring the memory to surface. 'I don't remember anything else.'
He nodded slowly.
And pulled a letter from his long-sleeved black coat. With the letter in his hand, Armin put the letter in front of Audry. She picked up that letter not knowing what was inside it.
It's a letter of invitation from the Tengen University Armin summarized. Do you accept the invitation he asked Armin...
Audry looked hastened knowing she had many responsibilities as the new head of the family.
Seeing her hesitance Armin added it will help you with your responsibilities which is important for the family's good name.
After hearing his words she said I will go to the University after attending the funeral.
As you wish my lady Armin said....
