[DISCONTINUED] I was reincarnated in The Abandoned Empress as a minor character

.37. Warning

It was at this day, that my world had come to an end, 

"A girl was found on the lake when his highness was taking a walk," To say the least, I was shunned, 

"She was given a name, Graspe" Lila confirmed, 

There is no doubt, it was Jieun,

"My lady, are you, okay?",

So early, 

Anneliss, was right with her suspicions,

-

I just realized that I had spent so much time enjoying myself that, I completely ignored what would happen after that.

And just as I was sited in the council meeting hall, countless nobles looking at me, I felt anxious.

I have been given a name and I deserve the right to the throne, but I will not become empress. 

I will not fall where Vita wants me.

"Now, let the meeting begin!"

I scanned the hall, taking a better view of Jieun, the sight of her, swarmed a lot of emotions inside me, curses, hate, everything.

"It's fine, i'm here," Anneliss consoled, gripping my hand tightly aside me, smiling to cheer me up. And it did.

"Thank you, liss"

At that brief moment, Jieun snapped her gaze towards me, squinting her eyes in, disappointment?

She mouthed something, but I never got the grasp of it. Anneliss stepped up and glared at her, reassuring me that I don't need to worry about anything.

And soon, the meeting was a success, just like in the manhwa

Everything went as planned.

I'm happy that Ruvelliss has shown interest in Tia, 

"euff!!" I just bumped onto something, 

Please be a wall, please be a wall!

"Oh look at here, isn't it the lady Castillo, it's dangerous to walk alone,"

That voice was too dry and cold, it could only be one person,

"Duke Zenna" I glared, 

He smiled, eyes dark as purple, "It has been a while, I remember the only day I saw you was when you were still very immature and scared, how has your father been,"

"Quite well actually, after all, it has been a long time since we saw you, Duke," 

If you're quick enough to take the hint, It means we're doing great without you around Zena,

He clenched, I continued, "congratulations on your adoption, I presume lady Jieun is quite pleased, moving to higher grounds" The lady standing behind him flinched,

"Insolent!" Zenna raised his can, 

"Do not raise your hands in public, Zenna" 

Opening my eyes, I was held in an embrace, Eldred was tightly holding me, father holding Zenna's raised hand, 

"Do not touch my daughter, Zenna,"

Zenna flinched, and smiled, and then laughed, I swear something is wrong with this man,

"Your Daughter? Archduke, do you know what you're talking about?"

Father let go of his arm, staring in his eyes, "I do, Duke"

"Father, may we go, I don't feel well" Jieun spoke, and surprisingly, Zenna followed and they left,

"Elly! did he hurt you! are you okay?"

"Yes dad, thank you,"

He hugged me, "don't do things like that, you'll make me worried," he whispered

"Yes, I promise,"

But as I was hugged and whispered in consolation by Eldred and father, behind his shoulder, 

I was warned.

"Stay away "

Those mimics she made besides the door before she left, went wild in my mind.

-

"Hey, are you okay? I only came here because they said Zenna hit you but your mood is much worse,"

"Carsein, when you're warned by your enemy, it's a bad thing right?"

"Well yeah, did something happen..."

"It's just...Carsein I come from a different world! I know it's hard to believe but I also lived in this world as well! and in the past! in the past, I was executed because Ruvelliss, no Vita! he just wanted me to suffer!!Carsein please tell me! DO YOU BELIEVE ME!!" 

Those words, I wish I could've told him all that, but I couldn't,

However, I felt like telling him everything, in that split second,

"It's nothing..."

But I held back like I always did.

I flinched when I felt a hand landing on my back, I looked up to see Carsein, never breaking sight with his eyes, and somehow, it felt like everything was in slow motion, 

I blushed, he saw it and quickly removed his hand looking over the other side, hovering his hand over his face, trying to hide the blush that was already clear on the lining of his neck, 

It was quiet for a while, a very long, awkward, while, "U-um, Carsein, I have to do something-"

He hastily stood up, never letting me finish, never looking at me in the face, "Yeah, I also have something to do,"

*Shut

He left,

... Just now ...

... What happened? ...
