"Have this medicine and rest. You are burning up!" She said as she stood up ready to leave him there.
"Hey! But where are you going?"
"To my room, of course, ~ or do you think I will stay here with you?"
.
"Well, I thought of something like that...but anyway thanks for letting me stay here," Harris said as he smiled while gulping down the medicine in one go.
"Don't mention it, as a good friend this is the least I can do for you." She said as she smiled while leaving the room.
.
"Good Friend...Right," He said as he laid his head down on the soft pillow and looked at the ceiling while showing closing his eyes and drifting to sleep.
.
"You must be tired?" Molly who was waiting for Kelly in her room said as she stood from her bed and walked towards her.
"Of course~ I am, since my sister has been busy working and looking after the empire. I haven't got a single day of break." Kelly said as she sat enter the dressing table and took off the earnings and headpiece.
.
"Kelly, you know exactly what I am talking about don't you?" Molly asked as she crossed her arms and looked at her.
" And you know too that I'm in no mood to talk about it." She said while standing up and molly grabbed her wrist.
.
"Kelly! By letting him hide here you are only getting on the Duke's bad side."
"--And who is going to tell the duke about him? Me, you or these walls?"
"Kelly--"
"Sister, don't worry I won't drag you or our family down with me but at the same time, I won't step back...I wasn't able to stand for Rose and the result...we all have seen it. If the same thing happens to Harris too I may...never be able to forgive myself." Kelly said as she removed her hands from hers and went straight to bed.
.
Molly stood there silently and then slowly walked towards her bed and patted her head.
"Okay, I understand your emotion. I was wrong, forgive me but at least change your clothes. They will be uncomfortable to sleep in."
.
"I am very much comfortable, don't worry!"
"Okay...Good Night." Saying that Molly slowly left the room and walked along the hallway silently.
Their place was bigger than Irene's and smaller than Rose's but unlike other families who had shown thought so much and had bad blood among them.
.
Their family was the most normal and healthy one...so both of them felt themselves to be lucky and thought nothing bad will ever happen I them but...life has something for everyone if happiness is there sadness would be too, some get it too early and some too late and they belonged to the second category.
.
"Mother..father how have you been?" Molly talked to the pictures of her parents on the walls.
"it's been a year since we had a function in our mansion and also a year since you two left us alone..."
.
Just a year ago,
On an ordinary day, news came from the office which said about the sudden disappearance of both the count and his wife from the ship which was about to return from the southern kingdom...the emperor and Molly who just got appointed as a knight looked for them day and night but it was all in vain.
Until one day they found their corpse which was fully degraded due to the salty water near the shore of the solar ocean.
.
No one was sure about their death, some thought it was murder while some it was just an accident that keeps happening in the oceans.
But for Molly and Kelly, it was like a big terror, as something they never thought of happened.
.
And what came after their death was even more heartbreaking to them. Their relatives whom they never even saw before or rarely meet suddenly wanted to take care of them or more like they wanted to take care of the money and property the Count has left behind.
.
"Do you know father, even after a year those snakes keep looking and pleading me to give them a share and chance to serve us...how greedy and foolish of them to even think about it.
I am sure if back then I didn't listen to Irene's advice and take the authority in my hands, then probably both of us would have been in the streets begging around or even worse.." Molly said as she touched their photo frames.
.
"And kelly has been going through puberty but I can understand what she is feeling and as her sister, I will protect her and at the same time...I will punish your murderers too." Molly who always doubts about their sudden death and disappearance finally found clues that prove their death was a well-planned murder said, as a tear rolled down her left eye.
.
"Sister, what are you talking about? Murder...whose murder?" Kelly who came out of her room for fresh air said as she stood at the doorways frozen and perplexed.
"Kelly, why are you here instead of sleeping in your room?" Molly said as she quickly wiped her tear and faced her with a smile.
.
Kelly walked towards her with heavy steps and grabbed both of her shoulders
"Sister...look at me...what murder are you talking about?" She asked once again her voice showing both desperation and anger.
.
Molly looked at her as that smile she carried slowly faded and she touched her face gently.
"Kelly...our parents didn't die in some kind of natural death...but it was a well planned...murder..." Molly said and soon as her she said the last word, she embraced kelly who was now down on the ground shivering.
.
"...Murder....our parents...were mur--murdered---why...why!! Sister, just what wrong did our parents do to deserve death!"
"Kelly! Control yourself...our patents never did anything wrong, the ones wrong here are the ones who dared to harm them. So, don't cry and pray...that I find those murders soon, and give them a 100times more painful death than they gave to them." Molly said as she consoled Kelly who was crying down rivers and punching the ground bitterly.
.
After a while when Kellly fell asleep after crying for an hour or so, Molly stroked her hair and sighed.
"Come out! And help me or so you want your life saver to lay on the cold floor?" Molly said and suddenly the door opened and revealed Harris who was listening to their words since the beginning.
.
"I will carry her." He said as he kneeled on the ground and gently took her to her room while carrying her in a bridal style.
"She must be around 40kg but you are carrying her as if she is nothing even though you at heaving a fever. The training at the royal academy must be great!" Molly said as she walked alongside him.
.
"Yeah, it's indeed great there."
"...You heard everything...and probably saw a side of hers she would have never wanted you to see. Now, what are you thinking of doing?" Molly asked as she opened the door of Kelly's room.
Harris didn't say anything and just laid her down in the bed with care making sure not to wake her up and looked at her for a moment before covering her with a blanket and leaving the room followed by Molly.
.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Well, what do you think, you as the only son of the duke can do? Especially when you are yourself so powerless not to mention...you are even unable to alone your own family problems." Molly said as she kept the facts right before him.
.
"I understand what you are trying to say...and I agree with you but even if I'm all useless when it came to my family, I won't let the same thing happen here. So, no matter how bug or small help you need just ask me, I will help you evnw if it means to give on everything..." He said as he slowly turned his head towards Kelly who was sleeping peacefully in her bed.
.
"Your words seem to be very warm and attractive but, I still prefer it if you just live quietly...I promised Rose to take care of you in her absence so don't make thing hard for bith of us...and if you really want to help then...just stay by her side and that would be enough."
"I would do that even if you don't oder me too.' Harris said as Molly walked passed him.
.
"Great then, now go back and sleep it's late." Saying that Molly returned to her room, so did Harris.
Whereas in the southern kingdom, Rose was riding a horse and walking past the dark forest hurriedly.
"Just a little more and I will reach solar!"
"Sister....just what can I do?" He thought before drifting to sleep.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
