Upon awaking, I beheld a familiar figure-the lady's butler. (My mother butler)
As his eyes met mine from near the window he is sitting at , his serious expression softened into a warm smile, "Good morning, Lord Notus," he greeted, his voice a perfect blend of respect from discipline, as if welcoming me to a new world and giving me a sense of belonging.
I responded with a smile, my lips formed "hello," but "coo!" Slipped out, he is staring at me, uneasy and embarrass I smile looking at him.
For a moment, his serious face faltered, and he knelt beside the bed I'm laying at. He say, As I'm ready to Sacrifice myself in place of madam Embra, I vow to protect you with equal fervor.' His words were as gentle a cold breeze on a summer day and, (and he left the room) A smile spread across my face. (A warm soul he is)
—- AFTER A WHILE —
I began to realise, 'This must be my new life, and Lady Embra, who I see that night is now my mother, Then suddenly a wave of nostalgia washed over me as I recalled my past life, where every money I earned was a testament to my hard work, And now, It all gone, haha "cry" Well My mother is rich so I can forgive god. "Smile"
"Wait," I thought to myself, I start remember the novel my friend Lent me, like pages torn from a book. Lady Embra, the hero's aunt, and her son Notus – names that now felt hauntingly familiar. I recalled the novel's plot, the tragic fate that kill Notus byte, and a shiver ran down my spine.
"Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes, I form my lips Noooo and shout but all that come out of my mouth was crying and shouting "why did I even work so hard for,( can't enjoy my money) to die?" I thought to myself crying
The door burst open, and a gentle voice called out, "Master Notus, are you alright?" I turned to see a kind-faced manservant rushing toward me, his eyes scanning me with concern. He knelt beside me, his hands hovering over me as if unsure where to touch. "Did you fall? Are you hurt?" His words were a soothing balm to my frazzled nervous." But all i can think of right now is (MY MONEY IS GONE AND I AM GOING TO DIE ?)
As I calm myself, after more servant start coming in the room after my shout ,the servants who had entered my room began to converse in hushed tones. "Have you seen Lady Embra's prower on the battlefield?" one of them whisper," She wields her sword with unmatched strength, her movements are the prove of her unyielding strength."
(Hear the talk I get at the side of the babe bed to hear more clearly)
The other servant nodded in agreement. "And her beauty is only rival by her own mastery of dark mana. She's a force to be reckoned with, and her presence commands respect."
Their words painted a vivid picture of Lady Embra, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and curiosity about the woman who had become my mother in this new life.
As i lay on the bed, a question swirled in my mind, "If Lady Embra strength is as legendary as they said, than how did Notus die in the present of her mother and with loyal people like that butler."
