"Hah...Why do I feel so tired today..." I murmured.
"Irene are you okay, your complexion doesn't really look good." Molly said as she looked towards me.
"Pardon I might just be a little tired." I said as I smiled. Today I came for another hangout with Molly, other then the two princes she is the only one I get along with.
"If you say so then..." Molly said but she still had that worried look om her face.
I smiled as I holded her hands, "Molly don't worry I will fine with a nice good night sleep." I said.
"Then we should finish what we are going to do fast." Molly said as she rose up from her seat with determination in her eyes.I wonder what we are about to do.
"No No bring that one here!" Molly said. "Yes My lady." The workers of the shop said.
Ha that determination in her eyes was to buy me a perfect gown for her majesty birthday banquet.
"Molly how many more dresses do I need to try." I asked in a low voice.
"Just a little more until we find the perfect one for you." Molly said as she smiled.
"But Molly why do I need to get this much if dressed up. It's her majesty birthday not mine." I said as I came outside the changing room.
Wearing a light blue dress with ribbons on its neckline and a knee light skirt.
"Wow this really suits you!!!" Molly said as she clapped both of her hands like a proud mother.
"Finally, the 50th dress I tried today. Just pack this one!" I said to the owner.
"Yes, we will do it!" The owner and workers said I bet they were tired too.
"Then I will go and change..." Saying that I collapsed on the floor.
"Irene ....Irene...." A voice said, I slowly opened my eyes only to see Molly and the owners workers of the shop looking at me with their teary eyes. "Irene you are up!" Molly said as she checked my temperature.
"Yeah I am, I am sorry for all the sudden commotion.....I might be too tired." I said as I stood up.
"Was it because of trying the clothes...." Molly asked nervously.
"No its not I was already feeling tired ever since morning....I just don't know why..." I said as I went inside the changing room to change my clothes.
"OH but I still apologize I didn't knew you weren't feeling well and still I made you try all this dresses." Molly said as she looked at me she was sincerely feeling as if it's her mistake.
"No you don't need to apologize for this its Me who didn't inform you earlier." I said as I smiled.
"But still do you need to see a physician."Molly asked.
"No its fine but if you allow me I would like to return now." I said as I smiled towards her.
"Yes, I understand." Molly said.
Hah....why even thou I had a nice sleep yesterday why do I still feel so tired and haggard today....
I just want to sleep....
"I am home!" I said as I entered the villa.But it was unusually quiet. And the surrounding felt dark really dark.
I looked around but no one was there, where did everyone in the world go. Should I check upstairs.
I went upstairs and saw two shadows one was of a lady with long dark green hair like the river weeds and blood all over her body,
"Who are you....." I asked looking at her but she won't reply.
"Who are you!" I asked again but got no reply again. I understood things aren't really right here, so I turned around to leave but,
"I....Irene...." A weak voice said, I looked at the owner of the voice hoping that it's not what I think it is but unluckily I was right.
"ASH!!" I Cried, my only brother was there lifeless covered in cuts and bloods. It looked as if just one blow and his life will end just like that.
"Ash....my brother...." I said as I went towards him.
''Irene its very painful....please save me..." Ash said as he started to shed tears. "I....I will do something just hang in there!!" I said to him but in reality what can I even do.....And why isn't anyone present here.
Who is that girl holding him like this? What in the world is happening... If I leave now I can bring help for him....But he is my brother I can't leave him like that...I can't.....
"Irene please save me....it's painful...." He said again. But something about all this isn't right....the air here feels heavy which is making it hard for me to breathe and secondly that girl and Ash don't feel right...."Irene save me!" Ash said again as he coughed out blood.
That surprised me but "You....You aren't real..." I said as I looked at Ash, who looked emotionless.
"First my brother never calls me Irene and second he never looks at me like that." I said as I looked at him.
And as excepted the image of Ash disappeared.
"This is all an illusion." I said as I looked at the girl who was doing all this.
"You little Missy are quite smart this is all an illusion but that doesn't mean it's unreal." She said as she laughed.
"OH really but sorry for me illusion will be an illusion just like the way you are trying to hide by creating another image of yourself but you know what....Lucy you are so dead when I get out of here!" I said angrily and the girl flinched as I thought the slaves were not only used as workers but also taught magic which we can call as illegal magic. So out of everyone who can create such a real like illusion can only be someone who has been here for sometime now.
"You.....Even after being stucked in here you still have the guts to act cocky!" She said as she came out in her real form. "I guess so!" I said as I shrugged. "Ha okay then you keep thinking here where as your brother is struggling alone with his greatest fear!!" She said as she started laughing.
"His greatest fear..." I said as I looked at her. "What now you are worried?" She said as if she was enjoys if I have hard time.
But right now I am more worried about Ash....Whats his greatest fear.....I really don't know.
But still "Ash you got to hang in there this is all an illusion!!" I screamed.
"SHUT UP!!!" Lucy said as she came near me.
"I won't!!" I said again.
"I am going to burry both you and your brother right here today!!" She said as she came towards me. "AHHHHHHHHH!!!" She screamed as she flew over the room.
"Whats just happened!" She asked as she stood up with blood thanks to the cuts she got.
"Well I used my imagination to hurt you after all all this is an illusion so whatever I think is going to happen too." I said as I smiled.
"And this I can kill you with it too so before I do that return everything back to normal! Right now!!" I said as I went near her.
"You are really smart but still you are nothing but a brat! You are the worst lady I have ever seen!!" She babbled.
"You Don't you understand my words bring back everything to normal!" I said as I glared at her.
"I...I...I can't do that..." She murmured. "What!" I said not believing my ears. "I said I can't undo it until your brother realizes all this is an illusion." She said. "Then I think you can do it now." A voice said, I turned around and saw Ash who was standing there without a scratch.
"Ash Are you okay!" I said as I went towards him.
"Sister I am fine thanks to that scream of yours I was able to breakthrough this illusion." Ash said with a smile.
"So Now I would like to return back." Ash said as he looked at Lucy and glared towards her.
"I will do as you say." Lucy said and everything returned back to normal.
I opened my eyes And I was still in the carriage,
As soon as I reached home, Ash, butler, and the maid's ran out of the mansion looking for me.
"I am back!" I said with a smile.
"Sister!" Ash said as he ran towards me.
"My Lady welcome back!" Everyone said.
"Yes!" I said as I smiled.
"Butler Mill what happened to Lucy?" I asked him as we entered father's office. "She disappeared even before we could catch her." Mill said.
"I swear the moment I see her again she won't be able to move anymore." Ash said angrily.
"Hmm, for now let's head inside." I said as we headed inside the mansion.
I wonder why she did all that, at first I thought she was desperate but after hearing all her babbling it looks like she always had that mindset about me.
Or maybe I thinking a little too much.
Meanwhile somewhere in the woods,
"I am sorry I wasn't able to complete my mission." Lucy said as she bowed.
"...Its fine so now leave...." The person in the dark said.
"Yes ...." Saying that she left.
"You won't last for long Irene!" The person said with bloodlust in its eyes.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Hah...Why do I feel so tired today..." I murmured.
"Irene are you okay, your complexion doesn't really look good." Molly said as she looked towards me.
