"I heard that Lady Alyssa recieve tons of gifts from the Marquis and the Crown Prince!"
"I heard of that too!apparently an anonymous person stated that she saw the most trusted person of the Prince and the Marquis' Secretary bringing lots of gifts to the Duchy"
"It's obvious it's not for Lady Amelia since the Marquis is not interested in her, and everyone knew the Crown Prince's Love for Alyssa"
"He must've wanted to let the Marquis know that he owns Lady Alyssa"
Both me and Ellie constantly heard from other nobles who is present in the capital for leisure activities
And I suspected that the anonymous person who spread everyone the news is none other than my sister herself
And because of that, lots of young ladies sent threatening letters for me, letters that contain some unpleasant words that pressuring me to choose one of those 2
And the reason why I'm outside,right now is to buy some jewelry for Sister's tea party that will be held next week
None of the nobles had known it since the invitations is yet to be sent,but knowing Ellie's skills that she immediately knew my sister's social plan
"My Lady,it seems that there's ton of loose mouths running here"Ellie whispered as her eyes wondered around the street where everyone is looking at me while gossiping behind my back
Not knowing that I can perfectly hear what they are saying
"My lady,this looks like a decent place to shop"she told me as I turn to look at where she pointed and saw Moonlight's famous jewelry store
Which is actually my main place to go this day
"I guess your right,let's go?"I asked as we entered the place and I was astonished to see a lots of people inside
I know that Moonlight is like the biggest and richest business in the continent much more richer than our family ranking first for 20 years
Not only that it's also famous because of it's mysterious owner...for the last 20 years since it's founding, it's owner is a secret
And the only face they could see is the VP, and the current one which is the 2nd VP since it's founding is a beauty
Not older than 30 years, a rare beauty that everyone adored, she was found by the former VP which died from illness 2 years ago
Her origin is unknown, seriously not even the author revealed her origin...the author of this story must like being mysterious and so
And 2 months left, for Sister's and brother's 18th birthday which is known to be Alyssa's original death
And 5 months later will be the story's official start,which is the Heroine's appearance of the story
"Welcome to the Moonlight's jewelry shop, may I ask your preference?or such?" The shop's clerk ask us
"Yes, we're looking for a jewelry set, that is not yet been release in the public please"I raise my brow hearing Ellie's words to the Clerk who is beyond shock at the sudden request
"Well, we can if you had a recommendation letter"she responded as all of the sudden Ellie handed her a letter, inside of a brown envelope
Then the 2 started to speak in an another language,so that other's may not know....not knowing I can understand everything they said
"This from is the Former Grandduke" Ellie told her in an a different language, I forgot the name but i can understand their words much more accurately than those nobles
"I see, please follow me for your order" the clerk said returning back to the original language giving us a smile
"Let's go my lady" Ellie told me as she slowly escort me inside of the store's vip area
Ellie....is someone who grandfather trusted, is that why he secretly gave her a letter so that I can have access in this place?
I won't be shock if all of the sudden Grandfather will announce that he owns Moonlight
I mean hearing how the clerk reacted seeing that Grandfather sent the letter,she immediately escorted us inside without further explanation
One thing for sure, Grandfather hold the biggest access in this place
"Here's the latest soon to be released Jewelry set that is named Moon Tears" the Clerk stated as we examine the beautiful jewelry Infront of us that was made by the top craftsmen in the company
"What do you think my lady? Does this suit your taste or not?"Ellie asked me as I examined one more time, to see wether it's geniune or not
"It's beautiful! No doubt from the continent's best jewelry store"I complimented as the Clerk smiled
"So will you take it?" She asked us "yes please, and make sure to wrap up prettily"Ellie elegantly responded
Sometimes I wondered....wether Ellie is a noble or not...seeing her demeanor always shouted that she's no ordinary girl
Which to lead me into thoughts...why would someone like her be my maid?
"I will wrap up nicely,please wait for a moment"the clerk told us as she preciously hold the jewelry and went inside in a private room
"Are you satisfied with what you chose my lady?"Ellie asked me "I am indeed,Ellie"I told her
Moon Tears is the beautiful jewelry set In the kingdom and it will be worn by the Heroine gifted by the Prince
And I am baffled that the accessory is right here, right Infront of me and I'm buying it
"It seems that two Very important guest are here today" someone suddenly said, our heads turn to look and saw a familiar woman
Smiling at us by the door "It's a pleasure to meet the VP, Lady Sylvia Gonzales"Ellie greeted as if she's done it everyday
"Hello again Ellie, I assumed that the Former Grandduke is beyond ok now?" She ask Ellie who nodded "indeed his conditions are improving, and I'm not attending him anymore.... I'm serving Lady Alyssa as of last week"Ellie stated as Sylvia's eyes landed on me
Giving me a sweet smile...as if there's a meaning unto it "I'm quite honored to meet the infamous Lady Alyssa Glaze Silverton, the granddaughter of The former Grandduke"she told me as I bowed
"A pleasure to meet you, Lady Sylvia"
"And I must say,your indeed a beauty no wonder that the young Marquis and the Prince likes you, you must've enjoyed their gifts which is bought from our company"she started boasting which is rather unpleasant
"Indeed they did send ..but I didn't see what they had given me since I literally stack it in one of the room's in the halls"I responded as she raise her brow
"Knowing your actions,you don't have any particular feelings of the two"he told me as I nodded "indeed you are correct"I responded with a smile
It seems that the rumours are true that she is indeed a beauty....
