'What in the world happened after she left? Why did he die?' Liberaine remembered the reporters outside the gate, 'So it's not because something bad happened in the company, it is because the little guy died.'
Before Liberaine could react, the scene changed around her again. This time she's not only watching and could freely move in an invisible state. The area around her is full of thick black fog, and Liberaine can't help but suffocate. She doesn't like this feeling at all.
The white fog soon appear, and the black fog disappear. Immediately after that, Liberaine can breathe again.
The white fog disappears and the scene looks like a party. The people around now look elegant, with their grandeur attire, the dress and suit they are wearing is like the time in Victorian times. Their aura and movement have poise, like an aristocrat in the past.
"The young miss of Silvearica really lives in her name."
"She is so beautiful."
"Oh!! The daughter of Duke Pin is so elegant."
Liberaine looked around. This time a beautiful little girl is what she saw, the girl is around her waist and she has beautiful black hair that she pigtails. She felt that she knew the little girl, but she cannot find in her memories the identity of the girl.
The little girl had her chin up, sitting in a luxurious chair, and caressing a little white cat. She looks proud from what she heard from the people around her.
Liberaine felt dizzy again, she didn't know where this place was again. She looked around and her eyes widened when she saw another little girl just behind the ponytail little girl. 'Isn't she the young girl who saved me?'
Liberaine walked forward, the feature of the girl's face is the same but Liberaine noticed that this young girl is younger. The younger version looks healthy than in her memory. Liberaine wanders if the young girl is really the person she knew. 'If she is the girl, why do I understand the language? Did that tree just give me the ability to understand them? And What is really happening here?'
The nobles who attend just keep singing praise on the little girl, and soon the party ends. Liberaine right now is full of anxiety, the thing that happened on the Earth is bothering her. Then another puzzle arises. Curiosity is killing her. She's got no time for this.
"FINALLY!!, this boring part is now finished. Phew." The girl sighed. Liberaine raised her eyebrow. 'The demeanor of this girl changed...hmm?'
"Lilibeth! Dina! Follow me, we must get the treasure map now, while dad is bidding farewell to the guests." The little girl excitedly stood up. She put the little white cat in her shoulder. The cat obediently stays, and looks like sleeping.
"Young miss wait! It is dangerous, when the master comes to know this. Master will scold you again and you will be grounded in this place for a month again. Please listen to Dina." The girl who has brown hair and worried eyes try to stop the little girl.
"Dina! You don't have guts. You must listen to me, why would I listen to you? I am your master. Hehehehe" The little girl laughed creepily, "And besides even if dad imprisons me in this place and doesn't allow me to go out, it's fine because.... the treasure is in this place huehuehue." The little victory announced.
Liberaine looked at the spoiled little girl, she found it adorable because she acts cold and arrogant in front of the guest but in front of her servant she is just a spoiled princess.
"Lilibeth, what do you think?" The little girl glanced at the girl whose name is Lilibeth.
Lilibeth responded, "Young miss is always right, Lilibeth will always follow you."
"You.. you!! Lilibeth you're blind... what if the young miss.." Dina angrily rebukes Lilibeth who just smiled.
"Hehehe Lilibeth you really can understand me. Come on Lilibeth, grab that worry-wart and we will now go to dad's office hehe." The little girl excitedly ran out.
Lilibeth can only obey what her young miss ordered and indifferently grab the complaining girl. "Uhhh.. Lilibeth you.. I hate you.. Ouchh ouch.. don't grab in my collar.. nooo."
Liberaine looked at their back, she chuckled thinking that those three have a great relationship. Those three little children are so cute.
Liberaine closed her eyes, she remembered again the young little child on the Earth. Her heart is full of bitterness. Thinking if Aiden is in heaven or reborn too and where he is now. She opened her eyes after realizing something, 'Wait!!'
'The youth who molest me and Aiden have similar aura and face... don't tell me..' She began to have an assumption. Thinking that if she noticed the youth aura again she will not run, and will volunteer to follow him, just to confirm something.
The scene before her changed once again when she moved to follow the three after thinking. This time the place is a high class bedroom.
"Why did you let the young miss do something stupid again? As a servant you must think twice." A little man shouted.
It makes Liberaine look behind and find the two little servants are crying while kneeling in front of the two men.
"*sob* Nooo.. I wanna know if young miss is okay, I am too weak huhu, I can't even pull out young miss from the river. Please punish me." Dina sob and keep kowtowing.
"hu.. hu.. *sob* Please punish me, master. It's me .. it's me, I am the one.. it's all my fault. I didn't stop young miss, huhu.. "Lilibeth is in grief, she didn't know her young miss will fall on the pond while sneaking outside the office of the master.
"Yes, you must be punished." The man who is talking to them now looks next to the person beside him and bow respectfully. "Master, what do you think?"
The man who kept silent while ago, sighed. "Lilibeth, Dina, you two are both too loyal to my baby girl. But this time you made a mistake. It's not a mistake to follow your master, but it's a mistake if you cannot protect your vowed master." The man once again sighed full of grief. "She has a weak constitution and yet this happens to my Rene. You two will be taking 25 hits each."
"No.. wait.." The weak voice of a little girl comes in the bed. Lilibeth glances at the curtain that is hiding the bed. She walked around and saw a little girl that is so pale and looks weak, the life on her eyes is dead. There is someone telling Liberaine to touch the little girl and attracting her to be with the little girl. The attraction makes Liberaine forget the situation around her.
Liberaine's mind becomes blank. She moved and followed her instinct. She touched the little girl's forehead and became dumbfounded. She looked bewilderedly at the little girl. 'I can touch her, even in this state?'
The little girl flinches and tries to move her head. After she does, she is shocked, while Liberaine is speechless.
"Huh? How did you get in?" The little girl asked. "Do I know you?"
