Reta's Dream
episode 20's
I heaved a sigh of relief when I saw Jeriem already standing in front of my bedroom door while staring at the interaction between Lyli and Reiyandt with a look of wonder.
Then he looked at me as if asking for an explanation, I just spread my shoulders indifferently.
"Ekhm.." instantly the attention of the two lovebirds was instantly distracted by Jeriem's demented voice.
"Am I interrupting? " ask Jeriem who is now walking towards Reiyandt.
"Oh of course not"
Jeriem looked at me and then he smiled at me.
And what is this???
What's with my heart?
Ck... Again my heart is acting.
"Are you feeling better, Reta?"
"Y...yes" what's going on? Why do I have to face Jeriem this whole time.
"For the one yesterday... I'm really sorry, it's all ka.... "
"Ah, that's all because my sister is too stupid, so don't think too much, we're good to talk outside and give these two girls time to talk" with as good as her head, just like that, Reiyandt dragged Jeriem out of my room.
Reiyandt, he....!!!
Ck... Why did I get so upset when Reiyandt took Jeriem out of my room.
Is that normal?
"Sir Train, what's wrong with you?"
"Hm?"
"You were daydreaming" said Lyli
What's really going on with me
"Did you know?"
"I obviously don't know Lyli yet, because you haven't told me yet" Lyli simply responded to me with her signature grin that I thought was very sweet.
"Suri's mother wanted to find a prince who would be a wife because of the age of the prince who was approaching the age of marriage" said Lyli enthusiastically.
"And whatever it is to me, whether the prince is married, somersaults, salto or perhaps ngedugem, it's none of my business at all"
"But it's going to be big brother's business, because big brother is his highest candidate"
"Huh?"
I'm really confused by what Lyli said.
"meaning?"
"If the prince does not want to hold a competition to determine his future wife, then the brother will be his future wife"
"Uhukis... Uhuk.. "I was choked by my own water when I heard Lyli's words.
It's insanity.
Why should I?!!?!
"Why me???"
"Because among the human nobles, it is the older brother's family that is most powerful at this time"
Whyyy???
Why should I??
Hm... But I'm sure that annoying prince will definitely hold a contest
Yes, he cannot marry me.
🌸
Tonight Reiyandt invited me and Regan to go to a carnival not far from the palace.
Yes he invited us because tomorrow he must return to the palace to continue his work that I do not know at all.
I was made to the ground by what is now in front of me, I really feel in the world of fairy tales.
L'm... I really don't know how else to explain it.
I don't know what games are here but I can see how great this place is.
My eyes were drawn towards one of the booths that read " ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ х" I've seen this type of writing on a children's cartoon featuring a little girl and a smart bear.
But what interested me was not the writing, but a pale girl who was in the booth while facing an old woman who was sitting on a chair in the booth.
I scratched Regan's shoulder who was walking beside me, She looked at me as if demanding an explanation.
"What's that place?" I pointed at the booth with an old woman and a pale girl whose face I guessed she looked very upset.
"That's a fortune teller's place, you want to go there?"
I really can't believe, anti-social girls like Vearly believe in that kind of thing.
I ran towards the place without caring about Regan's screams calling my name.
"Hey" I said to Vearly.
He looked at me with a cold face different from the old woman in front of us who was smiling at me.
But I don't know why I felt a little strange with the smile that the old woman gave me.
"Can you not run, if you fall later how?!" I turned to my side and found Regan who was now breathing in.
"Let him run, until he realizes where his feet are going to take him, because basically we live only for that. Run, then stop and realize that the place is not a suitable place, then run back to find a place that will really be our place. Isn't that right, Reta? "
I was really upset about it.
Not because of his words I don't understand, but because he knows my name.
"Wowww how do you know my name?" my question was enthusiastic and it made Regan and Vearly let out a faint sigh.
But I don't care.
No matter at all.
The old woman smiled back at me but now with a different smile, a warmer smile.
"Your name... "
"Stop talking nonsense!" vearly snapped which stopped the old woman's words.
"If you consider this all nonsense why you came here" I'm surprised, very surprised.
I thought Regan would always be as gentle to women as she treated me, but this....
He spoke with a very cynical tone as well as a sharp gaze.
Vearly retaliates against Regan with cynical ruckus.
"Hhh... Maybe what everyone says is true, that you are a blind man who is very blind.... And also too naive" after saying those sharp words, Vearly passed by leaving us.
And....
Did he just say Regan was blind and naive?
Oh... What else is this.
Why the longer I stay in this world is not the answer I get but the more questions that mount up.
🌸
This morning I really did not know what to do, I was bored so I ran away from home so that my father's guards did not follow me.
When I woke up from my sleep I could not find Reiyandt anymore, he was gone when the sky was still dark, my father said, there was still a lot of work to be done.
I walked alone to the settlement.
All eyes are looking at me.
Maybe because my clothes are too flashy and also usually a noble girl like me can not walk alone without being followed by her minions.
I started counting the days I spent in this strange world. It's been a week, but none of my questions have been answered.
"Hey" I turned to my side and found Jeriem smiling at me.
He walked over to me and still with his smile.
"You alone?" asked the handsome Jeriem in disbelief.
"Yes, I deliberately ran away so that my father's people wouldn't follow me" he chuckled at my words.
Oh my God why he looks so handsome.
"I'm bored at home" I said again.
"You've come with me" she said, pulling my hand somewhere.
"Where?"
"Something's the place"
