Cecilia sit on the chair, waiting that man to wake up. There is no clue about his identity. The most reasonable reason she can thought is that maybe this man is just a poor beggar and passed out due of the exhaustment.The doctor told her that the patient isn't in the critical condition anymore. Malnutrion and dehydration was the main cause of his unconsciousness. But, it doesn't change a fact that her carriage took a part to worsen his condition."Fortunately, your carriage was stop at the perfect moment, Miss," The doctor said while he write something on his paper. "He will be awake in no time.""Is that so? Thank you, Doctor. Please treat his condition throrougly. Do not worry about the payment."The doctor, whose name is Abraham Grande, nodded. Even a commoner like him know about the rumoured Cecilia Lancia.Beautiful woman with nasty and despicable traits. He just agree on

Cecilia tighten her dark hooded robe when walked down to the empty street. Theo followed her back and look a bit nervous.  Mary, who didn't know her journey, was cleaning in the house."Be careful, Miss. This place is known as an evil nest.""Yes and when will our self defence class began?"Theo gulped and choose to keep silent. Not sure about what to say since Duke's Lancia didn't say anything to him except a cold stare. The only pub which named 'Shooting Star' is located on the Gordon Alley, far northeast from the Capital.The street was empty but Cecilia's can feel that someone is watching her back. She keep walking until stopped in front of  a shabby pub and the sign is unreadable. But it is, undoubtly, Shooting Star.The pub interior look the as shabby as the outside. The floor creaked when she walked in. Mosses was eating the wall.

"Is there something happened?" Armano asked when he have a dinner with his daughter."Yes." Said Cecilia with exicted tone. "Guess what, Father? Miss Jenkin is sending me a letter!"Armano's brows raised,"What did she said?""Well, it was a very touched letter.  She said that I don't have to blame myself about what happen in the past anymore and wishing me to have a good life. Miss Jenkins is trully an angel! I feel like my shoulder get lighter!""Good," he said while slicing his steak. Surely, Jenkins isn't as dumb as he thought. "And what is another one?""It's about South Island. Turned out is not as bad as we thought. The citizen was doing some agriculture work in this past years." Cecilia talked with passionately as if there are fire in her eyes, "They do found an irrigation technique by themselves. Isn't amazing, Father? We can send them the seeds they need and if it works, we

Uncle?Cecilia frowned when she heard it. Even in her previous memories, she can't recognize this nonsense.But, his face indeed have a similiar figure with Armano.  However, my father is more handsome than this man! "I'm so disapointed of you, little niece. You didn't remember me. It is me, the one and only, Uncle Grant. So, how is your father?""I have no uncle… Sir."Grant Lancia's jaw dropped. "What? 'Sir'? Hey, I'm much younger than your father. Call me brother!"Cecilia gulped. "Br, brother? But we are not sibling.""Why don't you just nod and be an obidient girl? Ah, shoot. That's not I want to asked you," His eyes glinted and he cleared the throat, "Can you fill me in about what are you and your father doing recently? Why did you bother the Scorpion?" "Scorpion?"

"Theo, is it okay to continue the journey now?" Cecilia asked after read the letter from his father. That letter only contains two short sentences.[Dear Cecilia,  You can continue your journey without any worries. I'll take care everything.]"The sky is getting darker, Miss. In my opinion, it safer if we go tomorrow morning.""Okay. Then you can check the carriage or any preparation for tomorrow's departure.""Very well, Miss."

Is this something wrong?""Well, did you know my uncle? I mean a man called Grant?"
