Chapter 58

Lunch time came and the training Knights settled down. What do I kept thinking why did the unknown quadron still lingering in the place and not leaving.
They also sat down but they were not interacting with the Notorious Lion.
Yes, they were talking with each other but it seems like they have their own world. The Knights of Notorious Lions kept glancing at them as if they were being wary on the other group. They did look like they know the other squad.
Maxwell and Maxillary was eating infront of me, Brother Millian and Amo were in my both sides while Maxlein was between Amo and Maxillary. Dad was still talking to the Captains until now.
I wonder what they were talking about so secretly.
I leaned to Brother Millian and whispered to him, asking the name of the unknown troupe. It was long before he could answer my question.
“Special Secret Phantom Knights.” He replied plainly but he looked at me suspiciously. I smiled awkwardly to him. I was not hiding something but why am I nervous?
“Why did you a-“ he was about to say something but I immediately stuffed the cookie I was holding in his mouth to cut him on what he was about to say.
“It was delicious Brother Millian, is not it? You should eat more!” I said playfully and smiled widely to him. He munched what has been stuffed in his mouth while staring at me blankly
I sighed in relief secretly. If I had not stopped him, I know for sure that he would
Question me, none ending or more like ‘interrogation’.
These past few days, I found out that they were now too curious on what I was thinking and they have been becoming more interested in my private life.
Wait. Since I am still a kid, do I aready have a a private of my own? Am I not still under parental guidance? But considering the true age of my soul, I should have, right? Afterall, I am still a woman and father and brothers were all male.
I wish I have at least a sister to tell my whims on.
I glanced over the Phantom Knights but I shuddered at the looks they gave me over their shoulder. They were also glancing to our place with a menacing look. They looked violent brusques.
I immediately looked away from them.
I think, I know now what they were called as a special and secret group of Knights.
Their builds looks more firm and hard as a rock even under those thick armors than the normal Knights of the House and their features screams danger. But I should not be worried about anything, right? Because I am one of their masters.
I am certain that I had not heard a single thing about them in my past. Do they work for Zachronos in the shadows? There was only a few of them that could be counted in my fingers. Having talented knights like them only means that our family was not lacking.
But why was their group formed in the first place?
As far as I know, Secret Knights were formed and used when creating a rebellion against the leader of a country.
They were stronger than ordinary Knights because they were trained more thoroughly. Did the Imperial Majesties know about our Secret Knights? For sure, the nobles would not know since they were hidden.
“I heard, they are working directly under His Grace.” Amo suddenly whispered beside me. I looked up to him confused but he only smiled at me, as usual. Amo may had sensed my curiousity, at least he did not interrogate me.
So Brother Amo also know something about them just like Brother Millian? Brother Amo would not be him and it would be more stranger if he did not know anything if Dad and Millian knows them.
Kath arrived at my room after I took a nap. I stopped myself from asking her but I think she noticed my uneasiness.
“What is it, Milady?” she asked, tilting her head to left. Wondering what kind of thoughts running through my mind right now.
I just shook my head and gave her a half-smile.
If Kath wants to tell me something about her disappearance, she would tell me right away but if not, then she must be trying to hide it because it was personal. I just hope that she would be safe as always.
“It was nothing. Prepare my clothes for dinner.”
She went on her job but I could sense that something on her mind was bothering her for a while now that the her conscious drifted away.
Reading her complexion, I did not think something bothering her instead she looked like more confused.
“Ah.”
“Shhh.” I innocently pulled the other maid when she walked beside me. I immediately hushed her and gestured her to lean down on me.
“Is something the matter, Milady?” the maid asked in a low voice.
“What is going on with Kath?” after hearing what I asked, her face suddenly brightened and squealed in excitement.
“Oh, Young Miss, it may be early and you might not understand. I am not sure but I think, Kath is-“
“Jeanine!” Kath suddenly rebuke before the maid named ‘Jeanine’ could even finish what she was about to say.
We were both startled and looked at Kath with her left brow raising at us. It was the first time I saw Kath with that expression. Her hands were on her hips and her eyes were looking directly at the poor Jeanine. Did she heard us?
“Take this out in the laundry.” Kath sharply commanded Jeanine that made us gulped. The other maids pretended busy while slowly scurrying away from us so they would not be involve.
In times like this, Kath could be really scary.
Kath followed the poor maid -who could not glance back at us with laundries on her hands- with her eyes until she got out of the room.
I had goosebumps when Kath suddenly turned her head on my direction but compared to little while ago, she was now wearing her usual kind expression.
She was sure quick to change her mood.
Kath dressed me up for that dinner and after the dinner, they prepared a warm bath water -for me to soak on-, prepared my night gown and I retired for the night. But I did not know why I could not sleep after lying on the bed for hours and kept tossing around like a worm.
Was it because I took a nap in the midday? That was not impossible.
Should I take a walk outside to seek sleep? I glanced on the closed balcony where I could see the moon rise in its peak.
My eyes widened a little when HIS image popped out so sudddenly as I was staring in the night sky that made me took a step back.
I averted my gaze from the balcony and looked up to the ceiling before closing my eyes. My grip tightened on the blanket in my chest.
Ha. Why did I-
I closed my eyes for a moment to clear my head. It sure was suffocating.
She stood up straight. I could not lift my head to look at her. It was no doubt, she was truly a God.
She then, whispered something that made me froze.
“I wonder if you still remember… Arenia, Silvestre, Cresent, Polia, Cassiopeia, Rhimea, Trassetra, Polymeaia, Nasem, Pylian, Cashenti, Praza, Tenkara, Manastre, Yare, Vitlow, Jakarn, Fandoras, Hali, Oasaia…” she said as if chanting that made my every nerves cold. I could not say anything to her and remained in silence.
“If you just stayed still and focused your attention to him and made a way to lift the curse centuries ago, instead of giving your attention to others and trying to forget him…You would not have destroyed the flow of life.”
“What? You thought by doing that, you can escape your destiny? No, Maxine. You just made things worst. You should have been reincarnated and did not gone back in the past.”
Servenia’s words that made me froze that time came to me in a flash like whispers of guilt.
My eyes flung open and went out of my bed. I grabbed my coat in the stall and left my room.
I really should clear my head right now. I was remembering things I should have forgetten.
I could not help but to brush -grab my hair and bit my lower lip out of frustration while walking in the empty hallway. I need to come back to my senses. This was difficult, this kind of things often pops up without picking a time.
I could not go outside the house because all things were currently freezing out there right now.
Should I sneak in the kitchen? It feels like my dinner was now completely digested and my stomach was starting to growl.
