I was confined in the attic for the exact three years before I was able to see the outside world again.

They let me. But mother warned me about one thing. That if I ever did what I did three years go, she'll throw me away in a place that no one will never know. She's keeping her eyes on me. She's just around, watching me like I was some kind of a prisoner at a dungeon who'll do crimes.

Seeing the light again outside the house, I feel like going back to the attic. It's no different from being there with my mother's stares around. The maids and the knights were surprise to see me. All they've known was I was at my grandfather's at the other town to take care of him, but little did they know was they know nothing at all. I was there at the most miserable part of the house.

I saw Magnus. We cried. People around us thought it was tears after a long separation. But no, it was a cry of helplessness and despair. A longing.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U9TJQ4c3I
"I missed you, sis," Magnus whispered.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiQtanEGMy
"I've always miss you too."

He's grown up. And one day, he'll be able to grab the Barony's treasures, assets, and properties. My only mission was to not get in that way, with the same mistake I did in the past. Well for them it was a mistake.

Estelle stayed with me to be my personal maid. Mother has allowed her. I guess that's the only thing my mother did that I liked.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsG1JZGZKy
"Is the water too warm, Miss?" Estelle asked, having to prepare my bath.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h1TCnyXRe
I dip the palm of my hand in the tub. "It's alright."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUgF0MPIEp
She smiled, it's a warm smile she's always given me.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLfG9XIudt
I didn't smile back. Not because I didn't acknowledge everything she did, but because I have a hard time pulling the corners of my mouth to beam.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoN1MJZT3O
It's like it's hard. Maybe someday I'll be able to lift the corners of my mouth again and not think of every agony I've experienced.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wlDDdY6u3
But for now, I don't think I could.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsBR2iRePp
I turned my head to the window before letting the white and long curtains fall to cover it from the inside. Now I'm seeing the green trees and how the flowers wither from here. It blooms earnestly. It's beautiful.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjApvZ2ugBR
And with the gasped of time, three months has passed.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KMhaV38uu
It's autumn. It's the time of the year when the dry and brown leaves fell from the branches, when the surroundings has the same colors of the tree, when every single person has the urge to travel in every town and the plaza will be filled with noise again.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WaaYdDUvr
When the festival will occur.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj9lnFZ5sd
I turned away my stares outside the window and left my chamber. When I walk down the stairs and went at the living room, I saw Estelle writing at the piece of paper. She's writing a letter.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe5ZvqIHo1
"For whom was that?" I asked. She gasped and turned to look.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgD9fl6Arr
"Miss, almighty, please don't just appear like that," She seemed frightened.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqRtr1AnbI
"I apologized,"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97J55V5vqu
She shake her head and sighed. "I-It's fine, Miss. And---I'm just writing letters to send to my family."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PyHoaFSE8
My eyebrows furrowed. "But there's two enveloped there."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy0cc1SFpd
"Ah, t-that's---how do I explain this? I'm still writing letters for both of my mother and brother, and the other enveloped was for my father. I don't know whether I did tell you this, but my father now works at the Dukedom of Clayton, at Duke Percival's mansion, Miss,"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpEmnzKeo6
Hearing her say those words and that name, I was weak for a matter of time. I never would've thought of someone mentioning that title and name to me anymore.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe894xdagGU
But Estelle doesn't know anything. She just knows that I had an affair with some noble, but she doesn't know who that is. I never bothered about answering, though she never bother about it asking.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV8gk8ZwX2
My eyes fell on the floor. "I see, so that's it then?"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr6Uyqelmx
"Yes, Miss..."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe3jrJIOo3
"What work is your father has?"
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrL3KVnxK0
"He's a servant there, Miss, All around, as long I can guess..."
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76OrB6jBtD
I was silent for a minute before turning around to get back to my chamber.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWOCEtfWPj
And just like what I did every single day, I thought of him.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2ntonfsIR
I wonder what's he doing now, or he's thinking about me too? The last time I saw him, I tore his heart to pieces.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB55K4NBCNV
It's been three years, and I have heard no news of him. Not even a single whisper of his name from Magnus. I thought I could know about him now that I'm freed.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaK6IYCJ91
All those years at the attic, I only thought about what could've been. I breakdown every midnight. I was in agony when I woke up and he's the first thing who comes up to my mind.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpRBjc4J6G
I longed to see his figure, I longed to feel him again, but all I could do was to restrain myself and keep this desires together hidden.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDV4SSWEDu
It hurts, but I had to keep going. I don't want to kill myself, I just want to move forward and forget about everything that has happened. It's hard and I still don't know how to start.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG44i1rSD7
I stared at the ceiling while laying on my bed and close my eyes.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9JdApl4kU
It's like I'm carrying a big thing in my chest, it's hard to breathe. Hard to speak, hard to move, but easy to cry.
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sR0gDBmCa
And even if I tear hard and loud enough, I couldn't get it out of me. It stays. And it will, I know, for a long time.
