Chapter 46
Sydnee was still in daze when she found herself standing outside of the mansion. After confirming the duke's words and upon knowing that she was a biological daughter, Lady Geneva heartlessly threw her out. The woman urged the maids to pick all her things out and to clean the place she stayed inside the big house.
Now, she did not know where to go.The sun was scorching and Sydnee felt beads of sweat starting to form in her forehead. She picked up the bag where her clothes were and she was thankful for the thoughtful maid who put all her things inside it. Then she started to walk to nowhere, without realizing that she was walking to the direction of the marketplace.It might be her luck that pushed her, but a few hours walking under the heat of the sun, she saw the bustling marketplace. Sydnee's cracked lips curved into a big smile and her vision blurred. At last, she might find an inn to hide from the sun.She was wearing the brand new unifoRelated chapters
Kissing The Wind Chapter 47
Just as she stepped inside the old mansion, Sydnee was startled when she met face to face an old woman with stern face. The old woman was holding a small record book in her right hand, and a meter stick in her left hand. Sydnee remembered her terror teachers way back in elementary. 'Same disposition,' she thought to herself. Sheila bowed before the old woman. Sydnee also bowed even though she was not sure who was the woman standing before them. But she had a hint that maybe the woman was the mistress of the old mansion. "Madam, I got a new girl that wants to stay here. She is a student and is not from Obando."The stern woman looked at Sydnee. "Where are you from?" she asked. Sydnee secretly gulped hard upon hearing the woman's voice. It was rough, and she could not help thinking that maybe her vocal chord was damaged? "I-I'm from Consolacion, Madam..." she sighed. "Consolacion? What are you doing in Obando?" She looked at the big backpack Sydnee was holding. "Did you run away f

Loud footsteps echoed in the whole house. It only stopped when the old woman was standing in front of the painting. Madam Kris' brows were furrowed as she looked at the poor thing. Then she looked at the corner, where a young boy was standing. The boy had a blonde hair with blue eyes. Sydnee was surprised to see his features. Those features were of royal blood. She remembered some time ago, a news in the television that featured the coronation of Prince Edrick as the Crown Prince. He has a blonde hair and blue eyes, traits that were seen in western countries. It was justified because the current queen has the same traits, but some folks believe that the current crown prince was a fake one. Seeing someone with the same royal traits, Sydnee could not help but to swallow hard. She had a bad premonition of what would happen to the poor kid if the king knew of it. "Hector," Madam Kris called the boy. "You can't play saucer inside the mansion. You almost hit

"What do you want?" Sydnee asked. Charles looked at the door where the duke had left, and then sighed. "Do you need to go?"Sydnee remembered the anger in Lady Geneva's eyes and the scorn in Catarina's face. Right. If she go back, how could she face Lady Geneva's wrath? If she stay in Duke's mansion, how could she live with Catarina? Her brows met and she scratched her chin thinking what to do with her situation. It was not good if she go back because she knew that Lady Geneva would never accept her. But staying in the old mansion... Sydnee tipped her head back to look at Charles who was also staring at her. Her lips formed a thin line and she looked away. "It's the duke's arrangement. I can't go against his words anyway," she said and sighed. Her shoulders sank upon the realization that she was left with no choice at all. "Why not tell him that you'll stay here?" "Ah?" She looked at Charles who had a solemn expression. He was serious and Sydnee gulped. "No. I can't go against h

The day that she officially entered the Duke's household as an adopted daughter, there was no celebration at all. It was only a dinner and only she and the Duke were present. Lady Geneva and Catarina had gone outside to eat. Not that Sydnee mind it, but she was uncomfortable when the maids standing at the side kept on staring at her. The butler standing behind the Duke cleared his throat. "Congratulations to you, my Lady. You are a Mondragon and no one should look down on you."Sydnee raised her head and stared at the butler. He was looking at the floor and slightly bowing his head on her. Sydnee gulped. She did not expect the butler to show his respect on her, specially when he threatened her when they went to the ruins. "Uh..." she sighed quietly. Suddenly, the Duke put his utensils down and gestured to the butler. One minute and there was no one around the dining room except for her, the Duke , and the butler. The Duke looked at her and spoke, "When they look down on you, they a

Nobody listened to her and she was not surprised. She let them threw insults to her and waited until the hype died down. It did not took too long. Just as she opened her mouth to speak, someone cleared their throat. "What do you think you're all doing, class?" The classroom went silent. Sydnee turned around to see the adviser standing by the entrance. She was one of the people who Sydnee respected in the school. She was considerate and never looked down on scholars in the academy. The teacher looked at her and smiled apologetically, "Do you want to take a shower first?"She did not want to make things difficult for her adviser so she nodded. Just as she exited the classroom, she looked over her shoulder and smiled coldly at her classmates. "I'll be back," she said and followed the adviser towards the gymn. She did not know that when she left, the atmosphere inside the classroom plunged into coldness. Rogie was no longer studying in the academy, and the princess Isa was absent. They

"What? You will not take responsibility for what you did?" Catarina scoffed. "Who else is the cheap sister of mine who stared longingly at my blue sapphire necklace last night?"Sydnee's brow raised at what Catarina said. She just wanted to grab snacks in the kitchen, but Catarina blocked her and accused her of stealing a blue sapphire necklace that the second prince gave to the girl. "I don't know what you are talking about," she flatly denied and walked pass by her. She just took a step forward when her hair was grabbed from behind. "H-Hey, let go!" "You deny it, huh? Thief! Give me back my necklace!"Sydnee's scalp went numb from Catarina's tugging. She pushed the girl away, but she yelped when Catarina held her hair tightly, not letting it go even for a second. A mouthful of curse came out from her mouth and she held Catarina's hands. Then, she twist the girl's wrist. Catarina yelped and jumped away from her. Sydnee huffed and arranged her hair. She had started her swordmanship

Sydnee narrowed her eyes on Selena. The girl was standing not far away from her. She could not help but to be vigilant around her. There was something amiss with how Selena always disregard her title as Young Miss of Obando. "I want them to stop this bullying habit," she said and looked away. Selena chuckled. "Sure you are, but it's no use. These fellas would not stop their habit because they were taught to treat people with low status as trash. You're just wasting your time, Young Miss."Sydnee drew a breathe and looked down on the girl who was still sitting on the ground. She snorted and walked away. She understood what Selena was trying to say, but at least, she saved someone from humiliation in that day. Not like what she experienced when she was still of low status, when no one from the group of noble was kind enough to interfere with the bullying. Now that she was given the chance to stand above the bullies, of course, she would do something about the bullying. She could not

When Sydnee arrived home, a huge crowd of commoners was gathering outside the huge mansion gate. The driver slowed down the car. Not long after, the crowd was dispersed by the head maid servant of the house. Then the car entered the gate that was opened up for them. "What happened?" Sydnee asked the head maid servant when she hopped off the car. The maid lowered her head in greeting and answered, "They just want to see the second prince, Young Miss."Sydnee raised her brow and looked at the commoners outside of the gate. There were still some of them lingering around the corner, but majority was dispered already so she was not worried. Then she looked at the huge mansion. It was then that she saw how lively it was. She smirked. So the second prince visited Catarina again? Was it an ordinary visit or a way to intimidate her? Nonetheless, Sydnee walked inside the mansion. What greeted her was the smiling second prince and Catarina. The second prince resembled the King a lot. It was
