"....Awesomee!" Liberaine yelled.
"HUH? what kind of sound is that... What happened?" Lilibeth beside her opened her eyes from slumber. She looked at her young miss in confusion and found that her hand was in a fist mode hanging mid-air.
"Young miss, What happened? Are you okay?" She worriedly asked.
Because of learning something new, Liberaine forgot that the young girl beside her was asleep. Now that this girl is wide awake, she's speaking a language that Liberaine could not understand again. Liberaine awkwardly moved her hand down and calmed herself. She slowly closed her eyes, pretending to sleep. She acts like nothing happened to avoid the awkward atmosphere.
The young girl's head is full of question marks, She tightened the hand of her young miss and promised, "Young miss it's okay, even if you lose sanity. I...I will always serve you until I die." She is sure that once her young miss goes home, the duke will surely find a way to cure her.
If Liberaine understood her, she would surely rebuke her until the young girl understood that she is a genius not an insane person. But even if she didn't understand a word coming from the young girl, she knew that from her past actions this young girl is treating her like a mental. So Liberaine just maintained her eyes closed and because her injuries were not fully healed she fell asleep easily.
The young girl seeing that her young miss is sleeping peacefully, sighed in relief. Lilibeth's dizziness is gone too. She looked at the young miss beside her and thought that maybe because knowing that her young miss is now okay, she had a good sleep.
Time goes by, the morning becomes afternoon, and the afternoon becomes evening. Only in the evening her young miss woke up.
"We're going to camp here ladies, So go down and sit in the grass beside the carriage, I'm going to start a fire." The old man shouted so the girls behind him could hear what he was saying. He tied his horse and checked the fruits beside him. He gets the firewood, some cooking items and starts to make a fire beside their carriage.
The two girls jumped down too, the old man gave them a thin clothing to put in the grassland, just beside the road for them to sit down. And give them some of his fruits.
"Thank you sir, please accept this." Lilibeth got a copper coin from her pocket and handed it to the old man.
The old man shaked his head and pushed the hand of Lilibeth politely, "Girl it's okay, you already paid me 4 copper and it's enough for me." He smiled and looked at Liberaine. "Is your little sister 9 years old or 10?" He looked at Lilibeth.
"Sir.. my little sister just became 10 years old five days ago..." Lilibeth put the coins back and looked at her young miss who's staying quiet the whole time.
The old man started again at Liberaine and said, "Then is she possible.." he moved his right hand and pointed it to his ear while swirling it.
Liberaine stood up and stomped her foot looking at the old man with her fierce glare, the old man shivered. Liberaine looked at the young girl beside her and stomped her foot twice. 'I know that sign language. He is saying I'm mental. Please deny it.'
Lilibeth is speechless. ' Did the young miss get angry because of the old man?' 'Does she still have sanity left and understood him?' If so, then this is great.
"Young miss, Sir is not thinking. Please don't get angry." The young girl stood up in front of her and kneeled.
Liberaine is beyond shocked. She doesn't know why the young girl immediately kneeled. But she is still angry because of the rude old man's actions a while ago, even if she doesn't understand their language that doesn't mean she doesn't know any sign language. So she stomped her foot a while ago, and looked at the young girl because she wanted that young girl to shake her head to the old man indicating that she's not a fool. 'Why did she kneel?'
She hurriedly went to the young girl, helping her up."What in the world are you doing?" She asked even though she knew that she would not get an answer, just for expression.
But she doesn't know that this sentence will disappoint the young girl in front of her. 'So young miss is still degenerate'. She stands up and looks at Liberaine watching her action.
Liberaine after helping the young girl to stand up crossed her arms, looking at the knee of the young girl that became dirty because of kneeling.
"What is this little girl doing and what.. young miss?" The old man looked again at the young girl.
"Umm no.. my little sister because our father always beat her... uhh degenerate.. uhh noo... she developed a tendency... of imagining herself as a young miss.. and uhh uhh.." The young girl's eyes kept swirling trying to lie.
The old man did not speak and just looked at Liberaine with pity. While Liberaine, who doesn't know that her image is dropping fast, remained her arm crossed, looking at the knee of a young girl.
The young girl questioned.. "Young m... uhh.. little sister .. do you want to pee perhaps?" Maybe that's why, Isn't when the baby who wants to pee becomes uncomfortable and easily gets irritated.
(Liberaine would really cry if she could understand Lilibeth. Why would she compared her to a baby?XD)
Liberaine is not answering. So the young girl held her right hand and moved to the bushes. Liberaine after following the girl is dumbfounded, her face change color to black to blue to red to purple finally it become a white like a dead person. She is mentally hurt after the young girl began undressing her lower undergarments and saying something to her. Liberaine become frozen on the spot. 'I only wanted her to deny it because of the old man's action and only wanted to know if her knee is okay. Why did she always act differently from my expectation.'
Her pride and dignity are definitely gone now. She kept cursing the man who is responsible for what is happening right now. She promised to herself that when anything happens again, she will not care anymore.
The dry land becomes wet, it forms a puddle near the bushed and the swollen - white faced girl starts mumbling in the corner of the carriage, she doesn't care about the world anymore.
Lilibeth is really worried. Her young miss mental condition regressed a lot.
