The engagement party soon ended earlier than expected, since the scandalous scene earlier left everyone in uneasiness and yearned to leave. Some of the nobles even left before the toast even began, those nobles included both Clarise and Janice. Since they are currently being talked about and being there will be equivalent as to offer their heads ready for sacrifice.
Antony was busy talking about business with other young nobles that he hasn’t noticed how Crystal began to wander off on her own.
She was admiring the place regardless, since being in beautiful ballrooms was something, she rarely experiences. Hoping that one day she would dance at a beautiful ballroom with the man that can capture his heart, the man that will promise her

That night, Antony finally found where Crystal has gone to. But the Madam of the household insisted that Crystal, rather, Carmilla should stay the night. Since the family was close to Carmilla and they longed for her company. Antony cleared his throat. “But Madam, I hope you could understand that Carmilla is under the care of the Valencia Household as per the permission we have from her mother. I cannot simply allow her to stay in areas that her mother doesn’t know about—let alone with the Young Master Christian’s fiancé who has assaulted Carmilla, twice.” He tried to reason; his firm hold on Crystal’s shoulders were signifying protection. Crystal felt that sizzling fe
It took a while but Crystal finally managed to get the maid to leave. Using the reason that Crystal, or Carmilla rather, was fonder of being left alone than having a snoopy maid to be by her side 24/7. Thus, the maid left to her own sleeping quarters, to be called only when needed and summoned. On that hand, Crystal grabbed a towel and headed to the bathroom for a nice bath, the stench of trouble and sweat adorned her old clothes that she would want to change sooner or later. The closet was also adorned by a handful of clothes to choose from, which she figures was what the real Carmilla used to wear. Her style isn’t bad, just a little childish but bearable in her
Cristopher clicked his tongue in annoyance as the woman he spoke to abruptly hung up, ending the call. He deliberately threw his phone across the room, shattering its glass in the process but he didn’t care. His anger overflowed his thoughts that he was unable to focus on where or what his tasks was in the first place. A slight whimper brought him out of his anger-filled thoughts as he gazed over at the woman who cowered on her seat, seemingly to be frightened from when Cristopher threw his phone. A sigh left his pale lips, he has forgotten that the woman was here with him, and that he was still speaking to the real Carmilla before Crystal’s call abruptly disturbed their emotional entanglement. But that’s not his concern
After Cristopher told his side of the story, Carmilla was left in shock. It was only until now that she understood what has happened, she understood what got him so furious. There are things that she had not understood before, she was guilty back then, for the knowledge she possesses were a mix of a few truths and a series of lies. Something that she was too ignorant to see, she was too ignorant to know. Silence was once again bestowed upon the two figures in the dimly lit room as Cristopher still had that memory freshly engraved in his head, something that he longed to forget but simply could not. Carmilla slightly cleare
In the next day, the sun was beaming brightly as rays of sunlight bathed the trees and everything it touches with its warmth. The said rays beamed through the silky chiffon curtains and basked a certain woman in warm sunlight, causing the said woman to stir awake from her peaceful slumber. The woman released a mouthful yawn before stretching her sore limbs, satisfying pops and cracks were heard as her stiff and sore limbs were aroused back to their usual motor movement. Crystal arose before slipping her toes onto the fuzzy slippers that were provided, the floor was cold. She headed over to grab a towel and take a shower. Surprisingly, her made did not come or anything at all, as if the maid was either frightened or did, she chose not to come in anymore?
“Go on, write any number you want, just leave my brother alone, he doesn’t deserve this kind of betrayal.” Angelica continued, her gaze hardening to show how serious she was for this matter. Crystal fell silent, still unsure on how she should answer. On one hand, she could care less on how much she might write on that cheque, since the Rosette’ family has nothing to do with her at all. On the other, she wouldn’t dare take money from means that she isn’t supposed to, especially when she has a special reason to be here, her mission, she can’t quit. Her brother’s justice depends on it. 
It didn’t take a while, only around fifteen minutes when Crystal finally finished a sample draft she was making. While she drew, Angelica was watching with deep concentration greatly engraved onto her face. Her eyes calculated every single stroke that Crystal made, and it was surreal, it wasn’t just some random strokes with a pencil lead that any normal people could do but this one was filled with class and elegance. As if the strokes of a pure artist, she eagerly watched to see the outcome of the said draft as she basically leaned over the table to observe the woman’s ministrations. “And… Done!” Crystal smiled in glee before placing the pencil down and presenting her work to Angelica whom was eagerly
Time passed as Crystal continued with her elegant strokes, shading to add volume to the texture in a visual manner, her eraser now has marks and molds of pencil lead. She smiled and wiped the sweat off of her forehead, finally looking over at her creation with self-commendation. “Finally…” she breathed out in content. But as she placed her pencil down on the grass, she felt an odd feeling. As if someone was following—no, not just following, someone was staring at her from behind. But as she turned around, no one was there but random employees either having a break or discussing things with various clients. Since the main company majorly focuses on real estate development such as developing lands into subdivisions and glorious houses and establishments.
