Chapter 10

The knights that are guarding the gates are surprised when they see me. There is no carriage but I suddenly appear there. Haha, it's because of that old grumpy mushroom. Leixy, pft.
And as soon as I get back in my room there are two letters there on my table.
I first opened the letter with a silver lining and it was from Clover. He said that the princess accepts his invitation and the Prince did not get angry at him. That's good.
And after that, I opened the second one and it's from Calixto.
Dear Lady Alesana
I'm really sorry but I can't leave the academy right now. There is an emergency here so I can't accompany you to the festival. I know you are now disappointed in me but I can't really leave. I understood if you're not going to reply to my letter, again I'm sorry, My Lady.
- Calixto Louver Morri.  
Hmm, then should I go alone? Lara and Mellisa are leaving tomorrow they have been given three days off. I guess I will go alone, how sad.
"Lady Alesana you're not going outside?" I shake my head.
"I'm not in the mood."
"Why the curtains are closed?"
"Do not open it, Lara, I'm going to take a nap just wake me when dinner is ready." I'm feeling down right now. And my heart hurts.
"We receive a letter that the Duke and Duchess will not make it today."
"I see."
"Should I stay here tomorrow? I'm worried, you will be alone."
"I will be fine Lara, just enjoy your off tomorrow spend time with your family."
"Yes My Lady, I will leave now."
"Hmm." after Lara leave I played my violin and after that, I lie on my bed.
+++
"We're leaving now, My Lady."
"Enjoy your off."
"Maybe Sir Calixto is on his way here just."
"Oh, he has something important to do."
"Then we should just stay here."
"It's really okay. You should go now."
"Yes, Lady Alesana. Goodbye, My Lady." I wave my hand at Mellisa and Lara. Now, what should I do? Because of boredom, I decided to go to the garden and read some books there. The cold wind blew, ah Winters coming.
"I want to wander outside. I will go!" I asked the two maids to get me some like commoners clothes. After I dress up I meet the knight that will escort me.
"What's your name?"
"John, Lady Alesana." I smiled at him that makes him blush.
"Let's go, Sir John. I will be in your care."
"Yes My Lady!" the knight that accompanied me is sitting stiffly in front of me. He was not moving it looks like he was scared of me.
The carriage suddenly stops and when I glance outside two Imperial Knights block our way we haven't reached the main road so we need to walk, carriages are not allowed there because there are a lot of people.
“All carriages are prohibited from this area.”
"My Lady the main roads still far."
"It's fine, and please do call me Alesana."
"Yes, My Lady."
"Alesana." he coughs and nods. When we had already reached the main road I was amazed, there are a lot of stalls.
"Wow." I bought some food and a basket full of petals of different flowers. "Here this is for you."
"Ahh, A-Alesana what should I do to this?"
"I don't know I just see them buy this." and point the girls that buy before me.
"Ahh haha." he scratches his head.
"Ohh look who's here." there are three girls that block our way. Eh?
"Excuse me."
"Huh! How dare you ignore me after what have you done to me."
"Sorry but who are you?" she was shocked and the two girls comfort her.
"I'm Shiana!"
"I really don't know you, I haven't heard that name before."
"My fiance asked you to dance and after that he. broke. our. engagement!"
"Oh, then that's not my problem anymore."
"Do not disturb Lady Alesana again or else." he held his sword and the girls shrieked.
"The commoners dress suits you, you little devil!"
"Yeah! Bleh!"
"Lion heh! You more look like a poor cat!"
"Tsk, you-"
"It's okay Sir John, I heard there's a parade let's just watch."
"Yes, Lady Alesana." Sir John protected me from the people that pushing each other.  We throw the petals, there are ten carriages and every carriage has a woman holding flowers.
After that, we headed to Central Park and watch people there who are acting and singing.
"The contest will now start! Who do you think will win the Crown?" the crowd started shouting the names of those women. "Now let's welcome our ten beautiful candidates!"
"My Lady, should we go back now? It's already getting dark."
"Yes."
"Oh, Lady Alesana!"
"Sir Leix, Sir Garnet, Sir Sullivan it's nice to see you here."
"You See Leixy suggests that we should go to the festival."
"This brat."
"His softie."
"You're leaving now?" Sir Leix asked.
"Ahh yes."
"But later there will be fireworks. You should see that!"
"Woah, really fireworks?" Sir Sullivan nod and my face brighten. "Sir John we will leave after the fireworks show."
"That's nice! Now let's wait in that shop," we ordered food and eat together, every time I wish not to cross our path that this should the last time the next day we still meet. How nice.
"Oh, that amulet!" I touch the amulet that Sir Leix gave me and Sir Sullivan laughed while Sir Garnet slightly smiled!
He smiled, how handsome.
"Sir Leix gave it to me, why is this amulet should not be given to me?" I was ready to take it off when Sir Leix stop me.
"Don't mind them."
"Pfft haha, Leixy is so soft so cute." and Sir Garnet agreed. Huh?
"You know Lady Alesana that Robes Amulet is already 500 years old, that was given by the first Emperor of the fallen empire the Nome Empire to his wife as a wedding gift. Mana Stones, a Dragon's bone, and Red Sand that's rare to find plus there's a spell that cast in the amulet that protects you from danger. And when you shake it the amulet will more bright red."
"How lovely seeing you wearing that."
"That's awesome but is it okay for me to have it?"
"Yes, of course, Leixy gave it to you just take care of it." he winks and gets back at eating.
When I glance at Sir Leix his ears are now red I wonder why? After eating we stroll around and they even request for me to play something. I haven't been able to play piano for a while that is why I'm happy when they enjoyed me playing and after that, we all watch the colorful fireworks.
It's really beautiful!
The dark sky filled with bright fireworks. Will I be able to see it again next year and for the next year?
"Lady Alesana the carriage is ready." I shake my thoughts and nod.
"Ahh yes. We will go now."
"Let's go, We will escort you."
"Thank you." We are now heading to our carriage when someone called me again.
"Miss, you the Lady with red eyes." An old woman is sitting in front of... Maybe her store.
"Yes, how may I help you?"
"What a sad and dark past you have, your now back at your own body. Congratulations."
"Huh, what are you saying?"
"I want to talk to her in private, can you leave us alone?" I asked them and they nod.
"Sure. But I'm still curious about what she said." sir Sullivan said and they leave.
"I will stay here." Sir Leix crossed his arms. "Now old lady explain what you've said earlier."
"Haha, you will eventually forget your precious memories."
"So I cannot come back to my old body?"
"What are you saying? You just borrowed that body and returned to your own body."
"I'm confused."
"This is where you really belong, to prevent your death I suggest for you to kill the roots." my eyes widened and she laughs. "If you don't... you will die." shock from what she said my hands tremble.
"That's enough." Sir Leix held my hand and we started walking.
"Remember what I've said kill the roots for you to live long!"
"Shut up you old hag! You don't have to worry. The amulet will protect you forget what she said." I stayed quiet, what if what she said were true.
"Wait, are you thinking to kill a person?" I stop walking and faced him.
"Of course not, but... But I don't want to die again!"
"Tsk I will not let that happen." Huh? What do you mean by that Sir Leix?
