"Where is my necklace?!" My voice roared in the whole Mansè and everyone is scared.
Even the Head maid, Linda, and the butler are in my room to comfort me. I look at Linda with teary eyes. She looks so concern.
"P-please look for it, I-i really treasure it." I said. "I-it actually reminds me my of mother's hair color so I like it very much." I said trying to sob.
"Sister are you okay?" The bug seems worried.
"J-just find the necklace." I said crying. Every servants in the Mansè were panicking.
"Do you think there's a thief in this resident?" You've got the point little bug!
I almost jump to praise him.
Hours of looking for the damn necklace pass and no one found it in my room.
"Ano yon?" Napatingin kami sa katulong na kararating lang. "Wag kang mang abala dito nawawala ang kwintas ng Lady!" Galit na sigaw ng isang katulong.
"Marami ka namang kwintas, kung gusto mo magpabili ka nalang sa Marquis." Linda is still trying to comfort me.
I look away trying to look pitiful.
"N-nakita ko po ang kwintas ni Lady Arthia." Kabadong sabi ng kararating na maid. Tumaas ang kilay ko.
"Saan?" Tanong ni Den.
"H-hindi po sa nagbibintang p-pero kaninang n-naglilinis kami sa kwarto ni Lady L-lilliane ay nakita ko ang kahon na bigay ng Duke sa Lady noong isang gabi." Pikit mata nyang sabi.
"T-talaga?" Paawang tanong ko at mabilis na tumayo.
"Sister!" Rinig kong sigaw ni Theodore tsaka humawak sa skirt ko. "Are you gonna start a fight with Lilliane?" Tanong nya. "The maid isn't sure yet!"
"Don't stop me Theodore!" Sigaw ko. I feel tension inside the whole Mansion. I think they are scared of what can I do to Lilliane.
"Make sure what you said is true, kung hindi matatanggal ka sa trabaho!" Rinig kong sabi ng Head maid.
I'm getting excited. Who would've though things will go as I planned. I didn't know someone will find my box. I was actually about to go to Lilliane's room even though no one saw the box but someone did, so..
"L-lady Arthia!" Gulat na bati ng nanny ni Lilliane. Good timing she has a lesson with her etiquette teacher.
"W-what brings you here sis--" Before she could finish her sentence I slap her.
"Lady Laissè!" Gulat na sabi ng teacher nya.
"Lady Arthia!" Sabay na sabi ng ibang katulong.
"A-anong problem--" Another slap came from me. Wow this is exciting. Its not like its my first time slapping her but this is actually fun knowing I have people behind my back.
No one dares to stop me. I saw Lilliane's teary eyes. Wow!
If she's a great actress, so am I!
I also started puoring tears and I even slam my self on the floor.
"S-sister!" Nag-aalalang tawag ni Theodore.
"H-how c-could you stole the necklace t-that was given to m-me by the Duke?" I said crying. Den immediately attend me and help me stand.
"Lady Lilliane, please bring out the necklace you stole from your older sister." Linda said.
"W-what?" Umiiyak na tanong nya, I saw fear in her eyes. "I-i d-didn't--ack!"
"How dare you make my sister cry?!" I don't know why Theodore started crying even though he's the one who pushed Lilliane.
"I-i.." She tried to defend herself but she just cried.
"Y-you can keep the necklace Lilliane." I said while wiping my fake tears. I look at her vanity kung saan kita mo ang box ng kwintas. "If you want that necklace badly, you should've told me, I will give it to you naman cause you are my sister." I said pouting. Everyone looks shock.
"Lady Arthia." Nagaalalang tawag sa akin ng mga katulong.
"I can even bought you set of jewelries if you want." Lilliane is still crying but shock is also evident in her eyes. "Im sorry for slapping you, I was just shock and I really liked the necklace but you can have it." Not sorry at all.
"Sister Arthia, aren't you being too kind?" Theodore's eyes were already swollen again but he's not crying anymore, he's holding my skirt again.
"I-its fine, Let's go." I said and look at Lilliane's etiquette teacher. "Im sorry for the trouble Baroness Aliga." I said then walk away.
Every eyes I saw were full of concern for me, like the concern they are giving for Lilliane before I die.
It's nice to turn everything upside down.
