Litecia came closer to the young lady, then she bowed her head slightly.
"What do you want to tell me, young miss?"
"Uhm....." Sabrina hesitated.
"What is it? I'm open ears." Litecia talks softly.
"Uhmmm...." The young lady seemed to be ashamed. "Miss Litecia..... I think I lost my memories...."
One of Litecia's eyebrows was starting to raise.
"Don't pull some pranks young miss."
Litecia facepalmed.
"You already caused some accidents from your pranks."
Despite being shocked inside, Litecia replied calmly, she then went to the table next to Sabrina's bed.
She noticed a tea set. She has no idea who put it there, perhaps the other servant did.
She touched the teapot, it was still warm.
'Maybe some servant came earlier'
She prepared the tea set and brewed some tea.
"Eh?" Sabrina's mouth was left agape. "You don't believe me??"
Litecia moves back to the young lady holding the tea set in a tray with both hands.
"Shhhhhh, you're still a child so it's natural...."
Litecia sits beside the young lady, then she puts the tea tray in her own lap.
"I-i'm actually serious." Sabrina looked at her with her innocent eyes.
"Believe me!!"
Either way, she ignored it.
Litecia didn't believe the young Lady.
While the young lady was busy convincing her and talking to her, Litecia grabbed the teapot, stirred it using the spoon and poured it into the teacup.
"Here young miss,"
Litecia moves her hand to Sabrina while handing her the teacup.
"Have some tea."
"Miss Litecia, why do you think I ask my name when I just open my mouth?" With convincing eyes, Sabrina looks at her one more time.
Still, Litecia shakes her head telling her she didn't believe it.
The young lady's face started to lose its hope.
"Fine." Litecia sighs deeply. "Then how did you know my name if you lost your memories?"
"It's just that-" I paused.
Should I say I know it since I've read the novel?
'NO. She would rather think I lost my mind than my memories.'
"What?"
Litecia was looking at me waiting for a response.
My sweat was starting to appear. I'm nervous because she's looking at my face.
I feel guilty.
"I-I heard the other servant called you Litecia earlier...." This is the only alibi I can get so let's say it.
"You're not joking?"
Litecia was obviously doubting me.
"A- am I actually that kind of person that would make some jokes around?"
Drip.
Tears slowly form from my crimson eyes and some start to escape and roll down to my cheek.
"Sniff, hick!"
I covered my eyes using both of my hands because of embarrassment.
I don't know why I started to sob, but my chest suddenly felt aching.
It feels like something pierce through my chest.
Maybe because I was not only in a child's body, but also had a child's way of thinking.
"It's not like that....." Litecia felt sorry looking at me crying so she tried to calm me down.
"I just thought you were joking, young miss.."
Litecia gently strokes my back.
"Hic!" Her hiccups started to appear.
"Yes, yes, I believed you young miss."
Litecia like in the novel, she can't stand a crying child.
"Sniff sniff sob hic hick!"
The young lady still hasn't calmed down.
She's still crying like a 5 year old baby trying to catch her breath while crying.
"Young miss." Litecia smiles gently as she looks at the young lady's crying face.
"Shh, don't cover your beautiful face." She tried to make her calm.
". . ."
"Do you know?" Litecia closed her hand then raised her index finger.
"If you lie, you need more lies to cover up your lie."
I don't know but I suddenly calm down. My tears stopped flowing.
'Maybe because the tongue twister in this era is kinda weird.'
".....Sniff," I catch my breath. "I-i understand......"
"So what do you want me to do, young miss?" Litecia smiles at me.
Litecia clearly doesn't believe me, she just does that to make me calm and so that I'll stop crying.
"Who are my parents and my family?" I asked her while I'm cleaning my tears.
Believing it was just a joke, Litecia pretends to believe her and answer it.
"Very well. Your name is Sabrina Collins Elsteel. Born as the second child of Countess Kanii Collin Elsteel and Count Marcus Nabokuv Cusar Elsteel."
"Second child?" The young lady tilted her head.
"The first daughter of two children." Litecia added.
"So..." Sabrina's face was blank. "So, I have another sibling?"
"Yes. Your brother, his name is Damuel Samel Collin Elsteel"
I don't have any memories of my brother nor my family, and even myself either.
The only thing I have was the memories of my previous life and the novel that I read. Which is the place where I am right now.
'The thing is, I haven't finished reading it.'
Before I died, I was exactly in the middle of Chapter 86 out of 356, and I'm not sure what happened in that story since I've skipped some pages and since the story was way too long in every chapter.
"What does my brother look like?"
"You mean the young master and the heir Damuel?" Litecia tried to confirm her questions.
"You're speaking as if I had another brother."
Litecia flinched her shoulder. 'You really lost your memory.' that's what was on her mind.
"But, you have another BROTHER"
"Huh??"
Wait, what? In the novel, Sabrina only has 1 brother, did I forget something in the novel?
No. It must be....
"That's it!"
Sabrina suddenly shouted with a snap in her hand.
In the novel, Sabrina has another brother and it was adopted.
'His name was "Helbert" the fourth prince!'
The reason why the countess couple adopted Helbert was because of the reward.
The first consort of the Emperor offered 100 000 gold and with a higher title to anyone who will adopt the Fourth prince.
The Emperor actually agreed to the plan since the fourth prince was said to be a "curse" in the imperial bloodline and although the emperor was a shit, he was also worried because the fourth prince was treated badly at the palace since her mother was a mere commoner.
"Stop zooming out, young miss." Litecia stops the young lady from zooming out. "Your second brother was Helbert Dalet Raiven. The fourth prince on the continent."
"I-I see, so is my brother a good looking guy?"
"It's yes since the young lord resembles you young miss."
"Where are my parents? Why aren't they attending to their daughter?" The young lady was confused.
"The countess couple was at the Aristocrat Fraction Gathering, Your two brothers are at the mansion since Damuel was still in training of swordsmanship and Helbert was not feeling well." Litecia answered me.
Oh I've heard of this before.
'In the novel Damuel didn't go since they had an argument with Sabrina and Helbert was guilty since he's the one to blame for the accident at the water fountain.'
"So when am I going to get out?" Out of nowhere, I asked her.
"Around three days young miss since you've been healed using divine magic."
"How about my family?"
"They are informed about what happened, and they are coming in two days."
"What about me? How do I look and what's my attitude?"
"That would be rude of me if I were to talk." Litecia wasn't sure if she's going to answer.
"Just open your mouth, I don't care." With confidence, the young lady said.
"Pardon my rudeness but the young miss actually acted so rude and spoiled. You belittled everyone." Litecia answered it with her face straight.
Gosh. I forgot that I'm a villain.
Should I say that this servant was being rude and cut off her tongue then fed it to the wolves?
'Probably not! I'm not in a novel with a horror genre but in Romantic Fantasy! A romance sh*t'
God.
"I'm literally like a spoiled brat?" The young lady asked again for clarification.
"YES." Litecia frankly answered it.
Seriously?
How come Litecia wasn't described in the novel as a 'Straight headed' person.
"Litecia, let's keep it a secret that I lost my memories 'kay??"
I then smiled at Litecia.
"You needed to be healed so you must let the priest know at least."
"P-please....... "
The young lady acted like a naïve child this time pulling her cute puppy eyes technique that no one can ever resist.
".. ..... Fine, but do you know that no smoke can be kept in a fist forever?" Litecia's face was serious. "Then I hope you know the consequences of secrecy."
"Yes." I answered.
"Since you already told me what you needed to tell, please rest up young miss, I'm really worried about you." Litecia then stands up from my bed and walks through the door.
"Sure, sure."
"I'll take a leave on myself."
Litecia shut the door gently and quietly.
The young lady Sabrina was left alone in her room.
She was pretty bored since there were no smartphones nor gadgets or WiFi in this era, so she just slept.
