Y/n's pov.
I sit on this edge while I eat this bread that Yeshua calls a croissant and it has chocolate inside with some blueberries, I stuff the last portion in my mouth then look down at my plate where I realized that was my last piece. I sigh and just chew the piece in my mouth then swing my legs back and forth in this lake with my legs dipped in the cold water.
I need to find a way to get my necklace back, Laurence gave that to me and it must be only be worn by me, I already sound selfish but I treasure that like my bracelet. I don't want to lose it, if it's taken I'll get it back and the question is how, magic and potions don't work on me so I have to be more strategic and stealthy to not get caught. I could use the same method as trying to kill Talia but that would arouse suspicion if I disappear from my chambers too often, especially at night when it's difficult to get back to my room once everyone is alerted.
Speaking of Talia, she seems to recover really quick and I just can't imagine that she would actually risk her life to frame mom, all that to put us in the place where she shouldn't have, because I'm getting her back. Shouldn't have done that in the first place, what comes around, goes around.
Suddenly a cold metal is against my cheek, I hiss and flinched at first but then lean into it.
" Oh~ " I hold it and realize it's a piece of armor which is the shoulder plate covered with ice frost, it's a little melted too.
I look up and see Yeshua still in his armor and this is his left shoulder piece, his grey cape is still dragging behind him.
" You found me " I said and then put down the plate.
He sit down next to me with a slump, I can't imagine how heavy the armor is but he put up one leg and let his arm rest on one knee while the other it tucked under.
" It's a pretty lake with a sunset " he said.
I look up in front of me where the sky is orange and almost nightfall.
" It helps me think " I said and put the armor plate back at my face to feel the cooling temperature.
" Thinking of getting revenge? " I look at him and he shrugs.
" I'm not wrong, you did it once for me and I doubt your not going to do it for mother " he said.
I sigh and just paddle my legs in the water playfully, it's when he splashes the water at my face, I gasp and sputter it out of my mouth.
" What the hell?! " I turn to him and wipe my face.
" Answer me, or I'm not stopping " he said as he keep splashing.
I shriek and laugh before I kick the water at him in return, in the end we calm down and my hair soaked while only his armor is wet.
" Fine! " I said and wipe the water off my hands.
" I am getting revenge, but most importantly get something back which is mine, Paige took it " I said.
" Well that's going to be a problem, it's hard to steal things with how guarded her quarters are " he said, I snicker.
" One thing you should know is I was a great thief in my village, an excellent tree climber too " I said.
" Really? " He asked, I hum.
" Then steal something from me, right now " he said, I turn to him with a smirk.
" Already did " I bring up my hand where I just snatch his dagger, he scoff in disbelief.
" How'd you do that? " He asked.
" Secret " I flip the dagger in the air to the other way and I hold the blade as he take it by the handle.
" But I don't think I have a chance, when she notices it's gone she'll go for my head next time " I said.
" So what now? " He asked.
I sit here as I give it a thought when it hit me.
" What do you know about black magic? "
~ Time Skip ~
" You want me to study black magic?, N-no way!, I'm not doing that! " Celeste backs away with a shaking head.
" Yeah, no in hell is she doing that, none of us should be doing that at all! " Declan exclaims.
" No, we just want you to find something else like a poison which could copy black magic " I said.
" Your playing a dangerous game here " Eli said.
" We agree " Elliot raises Lulu's paw.
" Faris would be on our side " Yeshua said.
" Are you two out of your mind? " Declan asked.
" What if they find out and we get caught, I don't wanna die, and we're not even married yet! " Celeste grabs Declan's arm and hide behind him.
" Please " I said and they all look at me.
" For me " I said and they all stayed silent.
" Oh come on!, After all these years you can't just let them win, mom is a prisoner in her own room!, Your letting her down, if not do this for me then for mom " I said.
" She's right, we all know Talia's tricks, trying to frame mother has always been her way " Yeshua said.
" Talia was the one who took over mother's position and from then she's been well. . .a bitch " Eli said.
" House Vaitla has their own ways with things " Celeste said.
" So are you in or not? " I asked.
" Now that you've put it in that way, might as well " Elliot said.
" But Lulu is a gift from father so she stays out of it " he said.
" We know " I nod.
" Fine, so what's the plan? " Declan asked and I approach his desk at the other side of the room.
" We're taking them all down with one strike, this goes on really fast and everyone has to concentrate and not make a mistake "
I take out a folded paper from my waist pocket and unfold it, placing it on the table to show my drawing of the plan.
" We know black magic is easily used but there's always consequences and Talia is rational enough to not actually use black magic, so it definitely must be something else " I said.
" That I can find out, but no study in black magic " Celeste said, I nodded.
" Once we find out the truth, we'll use the same method against them but it might involve someone getting sick, so I'll do that part " I said.
" Will we involve aunt June?, Cause she will definitely be in this " Eli said.
" Not a bad recommendation, I'll tell her " I said.
" Anthony is who we should worry first, I'll let you boys handle him " I point out to his ugly pig face I drew.
" I think Declan and I can deal with it " Yeshua said.
" Nice drawing " Elliot said and I smile.
" Thank you, anyways then us girls will go for Paige and Talia " I point to the two other pig drawings.
" I'll try my best " Celeste said.
" I should learn how to draw now " Eli said, I snicker.
" Alright, this is what I had in mind "
~ Time Skip ~
" Oh you are my favorite niece! " Aunt June hugs me and I chuckle.
" How's mom? " I asked and we pull apart.
" She's doing just fine, oh how proud she would be for all her children " she said, I smile.
" Don't tell her about this, she'll get sicker " I said.
" I won't I promise, honestly I don't resent Derek anymore now that you came out like this " she smiles.
" You resent Derek? " I asked.
" I have always been ever since he went head to head with my brother, but you are as mischievous as you ever were like me so I'll let it side for now and your uncle Jack is a jackass " she said.
" I don't think that made sense " I said.
" Anyways!, I'll get to it " she winks then walk away with her chin up and her hands in front of her abdomen to walk in an elegant way.
I smile then turn to my right where I see Nana's grave, I sigh and kneel down on the cobblestone path then notice spring starflowers has already grew. They're in purple-blue like color, I smile to how cute it is and how they're grown so well since this should be planted in this season.
" Your in the mood to stroll in the gardens today " I hear a familiar voice.
I sit here and roll my eyes as I just admire them.
" The little flowers are in full bloom, I wanted to see how they are " I said then get up from the ground.
I walk over to another spot and see daffodils are growing nicely.
" Only the wild flowers are blooming now, they aren't presentable at all, but you've been raised in the mountains and wilderness, you must find wild flowers more familiar " she said, I sigh as I stand straight.
I turn around to her as she stands there with her chin high and a smile.
" I'll play along " I said and she looks at me still with a smile and a raised brow.
" These might just be some small wild flowers, but they are the earliest to bloom and last to wither, they also can survive the winter " I said and turn back to the daffodils.
I pick up a cup of water and use my hand to sprinkle some water at the soil and some on the petals.
" Even if they bloom till the very end, it's a fruitless endeavor if no one admires them " she said.
I turn around to her again and see she has taken a seat by the gazebo.
" I have no energy to fight with you, pick another day " I walk away.
" Did you steal this necklace? " I stop in place then look over my shoulder to her.
I see her fiddle with the pendant of my necklace around her neck.
" Because it would be ridiculous if Laurence gave it to you, so where'd you get it? " She asked.
" So what if I stole it?, Or if Laurence gave it to me because you wouldn't believe it anyways " I said, she scoffs then put down her hand.
" Who do you think you are?, Him giving you this necklace?, Your just an illegitimate child so he wouldn't, that's just in your dreams " she chuckles.
It is my dream and it came true bitch, I even kissed him.
" Miss " I was about to reply her but Jemma interrupted and approach me.
" Miss Celeste prepared you a medicinal soup for your scar– "
" Shh! " I cover her mouth and she shuts up.
I shake my head as I remove my hand and she press her lips together before we both turn to Paige who sat there in confusion. I nudge Jemma before she curtsy to Paige.
" Miss "
" Like I said, I don't have time to argue with you today, bye " I grab Jemma's arm and we leave the garden.
" Miss slow down!, You'll trip! "
The fish has taken the bait.
What comes around goes around.
Bye!
