The orange skies shone brightly above our heads as the sun is about to set. The shops were starting to close as we reach the gates of the mansion. The streets were no longer as buzzling as before. There were no longer any children playing games on the empty streets where carriages often passes. As we trek further and further from the royal palace we have reached a mansion that have walls taller than street lamps, we have reached our destination.
As we entered the gates of the mansion servants can be seen cleaning and doing their daily duties even though night is about to befall. As the carriage stopped right infront the main door of the mansion, maids, butlers, and other servants started to line up as if to welcome royalty.
" Welcome Back, Milady."
The servants greeted in sync. While holding my hand, we proceeded to enter the mansion. The girl never even bothered to return the greeting of the servants who welcomed her as soon as she stepped down from the luxurious carriage.
" Father. " She gave a bow as she saw a man sitting in the sofa of the receiving room. I noticed the man looking at me for a second.
" What have you done Elianna." The man said while sipping a cup of tea while looking at a piece of paper.
The girl immediately tightened her clasp on my small hand, and as if to protect me, she also hid me behind her back. I felt sudden shivers as I gaze to the man sitting on the antique sofa. The legs that I am not used to using suddenly felt weak as he emitted a strong aura around him. The girl used both of her arms to support me.
" Father, leave him out of this. I showed that Marquis Teller's son that no matter what happens noone can mess with the Border House! And that Mateo who disgraced the family name by hurting someone of his own blood will weake- " She argued but was suddenly interrupted.
"Ha, that thing? Someone with the same blood as us? Are you serious? But oh well I guess I will end it here for today." He stood up and suddenly start walking to the hallway. " By the way, I expect you to write a full report on what happened today. " He said as he enters a room.
"Sorry Basil that you have to see that. Hmmm let us go to my room I will explain what is happening. " She gave a smile and we went to her room.

Her room was decorated with beautiful patterns and there are enough space to fit 10 queen size beds here. As I looked around I saw 5 maids standing near the door of the room. She then allowed me to sit on a sofa in her room and sat beside me.
" Basil, are you certain that you do not remember anything? "
I nodded in response to her question. Her troubled face surfaced as she looked into my confused eyes.
" I see... well you do not have to worry! I will always be with you Basil! " She smiled as she reassured me that everything will be fine.
" If I may ask, who are you? who am I? and where are we? " I asked to at the very least fix my confusion. I noticed the maids having a troubled and shocked expression as they hear my question. The girl infront of me started to sob as she looked at me with sadness.
" I am your sister! I am Elie! Please don't forget me! You're the only one I have in this accursed place. Do not leave me too! " She cried.
She continued to cry while hugging me. Some of the maids shed some tear as they saw their lady crying and breaking down infront of them. After a while she stopped and she then straighted herself and began to speak.
" I am Elianna Colette Border your sister, the only daughter of the house of Border and you are Basil Border, the third son of the house of Border; we are the children of Rovaldi Magnefique Border and Anne Seaul Border the Duke and Duchess of the house of Border. There is also that Mateo, he is your older brother and Philippe the eldest. We are in our home. " She explained.
" So you're really my sister? " I asked again to confirm. My heart is beating so fast for I have just confirmed the thing I am most afraid of, I am not in my world.
" Yes Basil " She hugged me again and caressed my head, as if to comfort me. Ever since I came here she has always been very caring for me so I became less afraid while comprehending what the hell is happening. After that we had dinner and parted ways. The maid then lead me to a room then bowed and said goodbye.
I walked to the huge bed and lied down. Tears suddenly fell down my cheeks for I suddenly realized, I won't see my family anymore. I felt stupid now that I gave another thought to the actions I took, I miss them so much. I felt so alone as I cried my self to sleep. My eyes shut close and darkness soon fell.
----------------------------------------
I woke up and saw a white ceiling above me. Different from the ceiling I was used to. I then remembered what happened yesterday, tears fell again and I cried and cried until I can't cry anymore.
It was still very early since I was already used to waking up at 5 in my previous life. I washed myself and brushed my teeth. I made my decision as I gazed outside my window and saw knights and servants doing their tasks early in the morning.
" I will protect those who are important to me and I shall dedicate my life in this world for me,myself, and I alone."
I have decided to pave my own path, instead of relying on other people to do it for me.
