"Miss,what are we doing in the kitchen?Aren't you gonna eat with your father and brother today?"
"Aaaaahahaha...You see...I kinda like being here with you."She awkwardly said.
"Oh?...Oh.Really?!"Sabrina exclaimed.
"Yeah!Hahaha...You don't want me to?"Avila asks trying to act of being sad.She lowered her head while patiently waiting for Sabrina's response.
"No!"Sabrina jumped out to hold Avila's hand while protested."I mean!I want to be with you but aren't you always...having breakfast with your family,young miss?"
"Oh,yeah.But today isn't the same..."
Or never will be...
because she already decided to leave here as soon as possible.
And when she does that,her life will become peaceful.She'll never wait for her fate to die and will quietly watch the show(means the plot) from the shadows.
It's like,once she leaves this place or abandon her role...she'll silently be the audience in the story.
She was grinning out of the blue that made Sabrina scared.
Sabrina thinks that Avila became a psychopath.
And maybe she is.
She creeped out and spoke unintentionally."Young miss?...A-avila?"She stuttered while trying to capture Avila's attention by waving her hand around Avila's face.
Avila's mind snapped.She suddenly realized Sabrina was near her.
"H-huh?What were you saying?"She asks out of the blue.
"Aaaahhh...Miss?...Never mind."She whispered.And continued."What do you want to eat?"She smiled gently.
"Oh?...I want steak please!"She answered while slowly lowering herself to sit on a chair beside her.
"Alright!I'll go get it now..."Sabrina walked away,preparing food for her miss.
"Okay!Thank you Sabrina!"Avila gently smiled.
Meanwhile on the other side where Avila's family were having breakfast in the family table~
"...."
"Father?Where is Avila?"The blondie haired girl asks.
The father."..."
"Yeah!We haven't seen her for like...hours!Or even this morning nor yesterday's dinner...Did something happened to her?"
"I don't know either but she said that she will eat her breakfast,lunch and dinner in her room from now on."The father explained with a cold tone.
"What?!"The two of them was shock,and exclaimed in unison.
"Why?...Why would she say that?"The brother asks.
"Y-yeah...Why would Avila say that?...Did I?....Did I do something?"The blondie girl panicked while looking down in her lap.She grasp her skirt in her lap while feeling guilty.
Is avila mad at her?
Is Avila...okay?
"Don't worry.You did nothing wrong Marianne."The brother reassured Marianne by gently patting her head.
"Thanks...But what if she is mad at me?"
"For what?"The father coldly asks.
"She is mad because I...I-i...stole her position?"Marianne stuttered.
"What?!She told you that?!"The brother burst out of anger and suddenly stood up from his sit while their father mumbled."Such audacity..."
They were completely misunderstood now...Marianne panicked and tried to protest."No!No!Avila did not say that!She did nothing!That was just my thought!"Marianne said while grabbing her brother's shoulders,trying to stop him from walking away.
"Don't worry...Avila won't hurt you anymore and I will make sure that.I am going to her now."The brother gently pushed her sister's hand from grasping him and slowly walked away from the family table.
Marianne panicked and turned to look at her father who was now sipping tea.
"Don't worry.Garret can handle it."
No.She wasn't worried about her brother,Garett.
She was worried about Avila...
But what can she do...Garett was already away and her father won't even let her get off from her chair...
She only prayed in her mind that...
Avila won't be in her room.

"HAHAHAHAH!Sabrina did you remember that one time when we and the young miss was still a baby, all tripped?"The maid asks while giggling beside us,sitting in a chair.
"Yeah!I remembered that!We all tripped because of the slippery ice when we went outside and played for a little while...gladly I saved young miss from falling despite of my head being hardly hit from the ground."
"Yikes...that hurt.Did your head bleed?"Avila asks while being hilarious and concern at the same time.
"Yeah!It bleed and also made a scar..."She explained with a disappointed tone and continued."But atleast we made the scar a funny memory!"She said while making a smile in her face.
"Ohohoh!Don't worry!We are both the same!"The maid beside us exclaimed while slowly showing a small scar on her forehead that was behind her bangs.
"Oooooh...Can I have one?"Avila bluntly asks while the two of them flinched and eyes twitched.
"NO!YOUNG MISS!"They exclaimed in unison with panic faces.
Avila smirked and this even made them scared.
Now,what have we done?We literally made a bad example in front of a child!They thought in unison like they have the same minds.
"Pft.HAHAHHAHA!Don't worry,I won't do it!"Avila burst into laughter while leaving the two dumbfounded.
"..."
They all went silent.
But for a few seconds,they looked at each other and decided to laugh.
At this moment the room was filled with laughter and joy.
Avila never thought that the maid beside her,as side from Sabrina,was friendly as well.
A few minutes ago,when their eyes met,she suddenly jumped and rushed into Avila for a hug.She spoke and squashed Avila in her embrace.
["Kyaaah!!!Young miss!I heard everything that you fall and died.But thank goodness!You are still alive!I thought that when I got home...I will suddenly attend a funeral!"]She cried while saying that.
In Avila's(the original) memory,the maid's name was Felisha.Both Sabrina and Felisha were at the same age yet they have different birthdays.
Sabrina and Felisha were also both orphans until they were taken in by the duchess of the Rosea household.
Soon,they became maids to the original Avila who was still a baby after the duchess died.
Felisha was absent when the original Avila died because she was assigned to be with Marianne during their departure.
Which is also kinda sus.Why would her adopted sister assigned Felisha as her maid during their departure?
Marianne could pick any other maids aside from her's(Avila) but why?
Avila was now being quiet while the two maids were happily chatting together.
They did not notice Avila's sudden behavior because they were all too distracted from their conversation.
Whereas,Avila was also distracted as well.She was in a deep thought whether to think that Felisha had something to do with her poison or just a coincidence?
But it's impossible if it's just a coincidence!
Avila highly believed that Felisha's absence was a ploy to avoid the crime.
Because when you look at it...Felisha was gone when the original Avila died...but there was also something wrong with her analysis.
The original Avila didn't even die from being poisoned.
She died because she fell and hit her head on the ground.
So somebody pushed her to death?
But then,Felisha won't be the murderer if somebody does!
Ugh!Now she has no idea!!
To be continued~
