“What should I do?” Amelia couldn't help but get more and more scared when she couldn't find Lily.She searched the whole area around the mansion, but no lead, no person, and no trace could be seen. It only meant one thing. Lily didn't return. Then she is left with only one choice. The nearest village, she needs to go search for the nearest village.Amelia gets affected very easily. Her tears are like stand-and-standers and hold no value since they tend to flow very easily. Holding tears in her fragile eyes, she started approaching the nearest village where the festival was being held for the next three to four days.She kept on walking while searching for her surroundings. Her instinct never lied. If her heart was restless, it must be a reminder of future incidents. She should have gone looking for Lily earlier. While she looked around, she kept on praying to God to not let that happen.After arriving at the nearest village, she kept on searching and looking for Lily. But something di
Edmund suggested they take her back first. Amelia is a frail woman, she can't carry Lily with her heavyweight. Edmund, without thinking anything, asked for her permission to carry Lily, he did it with his eyes and asked for the permission.Amelia handed her to Edmund, and they took her back to the mansion. It was too late at night, and everyone went to sleep. Edmund sent a message for the physicians to hurry back to the mansion.The physician arrived and started examining Lily. When he was sent the message to rush to the mansion, he thought Edmund was badly hurt. But when he saw a girl lying in such a terrible state, he didn't know what to say. As much as he was speechless, he was shocked too.While he was checking her, Amelia and Edmund waited outside for the results. Amelia kept on chewing her nails in stress, her hands shaking as her eyes fixed on the door.She was too nervous and scared. What happened today left a deep mark on her heart, deeper than when she found her sister in the
They all decided to report it to their master. Amelia decided to stay behind with Lily, as she still hadn't regained consciousness yet.All of them first came inside the room and made sure Lily was comfortable in the bed. They were seriously worried about her and angry at the people who did this to her. Knowing it was gang rape, their anger increased so much that they could even burn those bastards to ashes if they were to appear before them.After making sure she was all comfortable in the bed, they all left to report it to Edmund.Amelia waited that whole day, but Lily didn't wake up even at the end of the day. She was worried about Lily but also understood that her body must be in a lot of turmoil and pain; it would probably take her body a day or two to fully function and many days to recover.Even when she got hurt in the head two days ago, it took her two days to regain consciousness. And since she was watching over Lily, all her work was done by the servants, who took care of ev
When she proposed the idea to quit the job in the mansion, everyone gave her weird yet concerning looks; they were even mad that she was thinking about such a bizarre idea.“If you quit the job, where will you go? Do you even have a place to call home?” Murphy scolded.They have enough on their plates right now, but now even Amelia wants to stir trouble. It's too much. Even though all of them are people from low-class families and even lower than the poor, they are still willing to forget all that and focus on their future. Here, in this mansion, they are only considered servants to their masters and everyone outside world. But to each other, they are more than family.And now, Amelia has become a family member for them, so how can they bear to separate from her? It's ridiculous.“Ame! You can ask the Lord to give you some days off. I am sure he will agree. And if he doesn't, you have us. We will plead together with you. But don't talk nonsense about quitting.” Even Leo was mad at her
While it was still dark outside, Amelia made her way out into the wilderness. Surely, this place is full of houses and mansions, chaotic, and busy. But at night, it was most likely deserted as everyone and full of mysteries surrounded by darkness.And here she was, wondering all alone in this silent city. It's dark, cold, and windy outside. She didn't take anything with her to cover her body in such a situation.She looked around her, and all she could see was darkness. Nothing could be said about what would appear from where, but she decided to leave at night anyway. Can't blame anyone.“According to the note, I should head towards the north. It will take me at least two days to reach Malka Land. I hope my leaving at night will lessen the time.” Amelia mumbled to herself.She wrapped her average-sized hands around her body and arms, in quest to protect herself from the cold.Since she departed at night, no carriages were running around, and neither of the carriage stations were opened
In her life of eighteen years, no one had ever carried her so tenderly and eagerly, and never a woman at that. It was her first time experiencing being carried by someone. No, now that she thinks about it, she has been carried by someone before.Ah! Yeah, twenty or so days ago, she hit her head on a stone by crashing into Edmund's carriage, and he carried her back since she was unconscious; it was maybe a Princess Carry.Amelia kept on staring into Faiz's deep green, forest-like eyes, unable to look away. There was a strange attraction to those forest-like green eyes.“What's your name?” She asked, knowing damn well how Amelia was staring at her beautiful eyes in admiration.“Amelia... I am Amelia,” Amelia answered.“Hmm! Nice name. Your name means hard work. Your parents have given you a very good name. But in my perspective, they should have named you something different. You look like a Goddess, so this name is a little letdown or maybe something fierce.” Faiz said in a teasing mann
In weather as cold as Iceland, Faiz took off her outer coat, and it wrapped around Amelia's thin body. It's strange to see a person roaming around with so few clothes on her body. It makes her irk out or think how poor someone could be to not afford comfy clothes.“Someone as thin as you won't be able to survive in this hell-like weather if you keep on roaming around wearing such thin clothes.” Faiz shook her head as she sighed heavily.Once again, her actions took Amelia by surprise. She couldn't understand. She has been treating Faiz so coldly all the time since she met her, yet this woman is treating her so well. What's her deal?Amelia clenched her fist and turned around. Of course, she was confused. “We don't know each other. So why do you keep treating me nicely?” She couldn't help but feel something was wrong with Faiz's behavior.Faiz froze for a moment after hearing that question. The lady before her wants the answer.Faiz lowered her head as she took a long breath and lifted
There's no way he would let his people suffer under any circumstances. He refused to help when his servants came to him asking for help. But in secret, he had already made the preparation.But something was strange. Amelia, who cares so much about Lily, left just like that. And that too, when Lily needed her the most. It felt a little off.As much as Edmund got to know Amelia in recent days, she absolutely wouldn't leave if someone was suffering, but she left so abruptly. Now that he thinks about it, he finds it strange.“As much as I have gotten to know that woman, she won't just leave her loved ones in their hardest moment. She is definitely up to something,” Edmund thought to himself as his sad thoughts disappeared and a smirk took over his lips.Two days later,After tremendously walking for two and a half days straight with little to no rest, she finally arrived at Lily's hometown. She took out the little note from the clothing sack and looked over the address once again to check
