With My Last Soul

Chapter 8- The Event

At the study room of lady Lambert

"Countess Catherine Wise, good morning, may the blessing of the empire rain upon you"

" May you too, Lady Art Lambert"

"Shall we begin then, let us continue our Etiquette lesson?"

"Okay!" The lady said dazzlingly.

The countess and lady Lambert prepare for their lesson by learning how to walk like a noblewoman, how to greet people appropriately, and how to act at political gatherings.

" one, two, three, and one two three, twirl and bow.... lower your body with chin up, but move elegantly."

" Ahhh, is it great?" lady lambert said.

" Of course, my lady, but for your walk-in events, we'll need a little more practice. Shall we start at the beginning?"

" Oh yes, thank you".

"(clap) Let's begin at the beginning, chin up, straight body, heels up, and move gracefully... one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two..."

few minutes later.

"knock, knock, knock"

" may I come in, countess and Lady Lambert" knight of Lambert dukedom, 1st commander, Sir. Philip Wells.

" You may come in Sir" Countess Catherine said.

" What brings you here?... Sir Philip Wells" Countess Catherine said.

"Free to call me by my first name, countess you too my Lady"

" Okay, Sir. Philip... hehe" the lady said.

" Okay back to the topic, what brings you here Sir. Philip"

" The duke and the duchess, wishes to see my lady, I think it's necessary for her to go now, they said that it's important"

'huh? me! , but wait, what could be the reason... Well, I have some of Lady Lambert's future recollections, but not all of them are clear because each has its own set of limitations.' Aline thoughts.

" Oh yeah, the duke and the duchess said that, "their apologies, can we borrow our daughter for a matter of time, it's just a short discussion, for representative"..."

'huh representatives?' once again Aline thoughts.

" And, they'll make it up to you for disturbing etiquette lesson today, the duke and the duchess said." Philip said.

" Okay, Say that they don't have to make it up to me because the etiquette class is already over, also it was only for a short period of time, and our lady is a fast learner (wink)." Countess Catherine said.

"Oh my thank you, countess... shall we head now my Lady?"

" Okay, thank you Countess Catherine, see you in our next lesson" the Lady said waving her hand to the countess.

'What, it may be? a representative, what's that, Arghh! I'm so forgetful this past few days' Aline thoughts.

A while later...

" Dad, Mom!". The lady said approaching both of her parent with a hug.

" Oh my Arrie, we miss you, have you been well? " duchess said.

" of course!"

" Sir. Philip, thank you for bringing my daughter here you may go out now, and do your work"

" Yes Duke!"

" Arrie, sorry for the sudden call, and disturbed your etiquette class." The duke said.

" It's okay.... So... what is it that you wanted to tell me about?"

" You see, Arrie, the empire has an event every year, but it's only commemorated when the successors are of the appropriate age. This is where each dukedom's heir, who may also be the imperial family's partner/ and may rise even more in status... You are our only child, so you will be our heir and our dukedom's representative," the duke said.

" Furthermore, Arrie, you can make a lot of acquaintances and meet a lot of strong families along the route, such as the representatives of the dukedom Windsor, dukedom Lancaster, dukedom Rinaldi..." the duchess said.

' As I thought, all of this family will be more powerful in the future. Well, the Lambert dukedom is more powerful in the present. However, the Lambert duchy will go bankrupt in the future, since I was able to recollect some of the future events thanks to the original Lady Lambert memories...'' Aline said.

A while later, she is in deep thought again. The duchess and the duke notice it.

" Arrie, are you alright, are you feeling unwell?" the duchess said anxiously.

" Right!, Is there anything bothering you, you seemed in a deep thought" the duke said.

" I'm okay mother and father, it's just that I'm excited at the upcoming event". the lady said brightly

" Alright Arrie, rest for now, we will talk later, if your in a good mood".

"Also!, take it easy, I will be very proud if you won in the event. But... your health comes first okay!... You're health is the first priority." the duke said.

" Rest up Arrie, don't think too deeply... " the duchess said, hugging Arrie.

" Okay, mother and father... I'll keep that in mind."

A while later....

" Ashii, it's already afternoon, time flies faster than I expected it to be."

' I still has a lot of thought in my mind though... '

Later, she fell asleep in the couch in her room. In her dream...

" how are you Aline?"

" huh? lady Lambert"

' sheesh, why did she show up just now... I wanted to talk to her though, and I tried many times before...' Aline thoughts which annoys her.

" Hahahaha, your so funny, at your birthday party"

" Huh? what the hell, you only show up to me just to talk about that...can you spend your time meeting me in my dream necessarily!.... and yeah thank you". Aline said

" HAHAHAHHA!... Yeah... you have a lot's of fun this past few days though... also there's my own limitation on when I can meet you... You can't just brag me... or just let me come in, in your dream... have some patience.. you know!" The lady said.

" okay, yeah..."

" Also... how are you in my body" The lady said.

" I'm fine, thanks to you, and I also had a lot of fun.... oh yeah! you know the event"

" Of course... hehe... even if I don't show up in your dream to have conversations to you....you know... I still watches you... but just a little bit of time though" The lady said.

" Ahhh... sorry to misunderstood you... but can you tell me the event... please" Aline said

" Well..."
