Chapter 30 {I Just Can't}

~ Time Skip ~

Days have passed as Cynthia and her friends had returned to the soil of Avalon.

"...so bored..." Cynthia groaned onto her bed. "Kill me now..." Her ears twitched as she heard her door opening which was followed by some soft humming.

"Boredom is not an excuse to end your life, Young Mistress" Sarah hummed as she entered the room. She sighed at the sight of it, her Mistress had kept the room dark and practically gloomy.

Cynthia hissed when the maid opened her curtains, letting in sunlight into her dark bedroom. Sarah rolled her eyes at the act. Great, her Young Mistress had turned into a vampire.

"Oh Young Mistress, you shouldn't be so sour over the fact that the Master only let Erina visit Lady Kathryn while you're grounded—" Sarah stopped talking when Cynthia gave her a deadpanned look. The maid smiled sheepishly. "Okay, maybe you should be but you had the chance to spend some wonderful days in Anatasial with your friends and fiance!"

The blonde girl simply groaned into her bed as respond. She felt utterly useless as she was trapped, grounded to her room while her friends were trying to figure more on the grimoire back at Kathryn's place. At least she gets feedback from Erina when the maid returns from her ventures.

All in all, they still are at a dead-end as the magical black book hasn't shown any reaction except for the incident back then when she passed out. The pages were still blank as the same old words haven't changed.

"—Young Mistress?" Sarah peered down at her, looking at her young mistress in concern. The blonde girl had been in a daze and hadn't been responding to her for a while.

Cynthia raised a brow as she finally lifted her head from the mattress. "Hmm?" She only hummed in acknowledgement before lying her face back onto the mattress. 

The older girl only sighed at the curt reply. The blonde heiress has been completely down since she was grounded. And by grounding, the girl was suspended from her sword training as well. Other than the usual lesson with Mr Billian and the extra work the man had given, the heiress had nothing else to do.

As matter of a fact, Cynthia had already finished up the extra works Mr Billian had assigned to her. The girl didn't have anything better to do so she had finished it all pretty quick. Even Erina wasn't here to accompany her young mistress.

Sarah sighed in distress, trying to figure out on how to cheer up her young mistress.

~ Cynthia's P.O.V ~

"Oh!" I heard Sarah gasped or something. Curious, I had to lift my head to see what she was up to. There she was, smiling down at me.

"I have almost forgotten!" She exclaimed. I simply sighed, what else she was planning is probably trying to get me up the bed or actually cheer me up...though I doubt—"Master Henry is visiting this afternoon!"

Okay, that caught my attention fast. I snapped my neck to look at her. Hold the fucking phone...Uncle Henry is visiting?!

I gaped at the smiling maid before jumping into her arms in joy. "Please tell me you're not lying!" I cried. My gleaming at her with great hope and anticipation.

"Of course, Young Mistress!" Sarah giggled. "In fact, everyone is preparing for his arrival as we speak!"

I jumped in complete excitement. This is the best news I have heard all week! I bet Orion is even more excited! I snickered at the thought.

"Glad to see you filled with joy, Young Mistress...however, I suggest you clean yourself up if you were to greet Master Henry this afternoon" Sarah looked at me, up and down in disapproval. Yeah, I don't blame her. I look like a mess.
