The Villainess Rise from her Downfall

Devising

Ellesmeere Solar.

I just got home, and as usual, they're all waiting for me at the entrance, sinalubong ako ng yakap at halik. Para nawala lang ng halos isang araw eh.

In my surprise, Elowen was here.

"You didn't have to come all the way here." Sambit ko matapos Makita siya. In the first place I was supposed to go to the shop.

"Let me be, My Lady." Nakangiti nitong saad habang tumingin sa akin na hindi ko mabasang ekspresyon.

"I was just excited since it's your first time to attend the Annual Celebration."

"And My Lady, I'm too excited to see you wearing my designs." Yeah, I could clearly see how much her eyes twinkle just the thought of it.

She insisted in the past to teach her about the designs, which she adapted pretty well. She's now making all of the designs, gusto ko rin naman 'yon at minsan lang ako magbigay ng designs ko kapag may naiisip na ako. Mostly, the things running through my head are about weapons, it will placed in the Prances.

The last time I visited the shop, my face was plastered in the shop, even in her brochures. Yeah, it's all me wearing the creations.

Ang nakakatuwa pa ay patok lahat ng designs. Inalok ko na dati sina Elowen, Cosmo at Leopold na ibinibigay ko na ang authority ng pinamamahalaan nila ngunit, hindi nila tinanggap.

Masaya na daw sila na nagagawa nila ang gusto or specialty nila nang walang ibang iniinda. Sabi rin nila na malaki ang pasasalamat nila sa'kin sa lahat ng nagawa ko.

Sa tingin ko naman ay parehas kaming nagpapasalamat. We definitely help and grab each other in order to survive and rise.

I chose the designs she brought. It's all beautiful, she really does suit in this field.

"Are you done?" Tanong ni Skylar habang nakasilip sa kwarto. Katatapos lang namin at naghahanda na si Elowen umalis.

"I shall go now, My Lady." Paalam nito, pinasamahan ko siya sa ibang servant dito sa Mansion upang ihatid sa labas. Nagpasalamat naman ako dito.

"I'm done now, what is it?" Tanong ko dito.

"It's nothing." Napabuntong hininga ako, minsan hindi ko talaga alam ang tumatakbo sa isipan nito. May kanya kanyang trip.

Kanina naman andito ay si Brother Ezekiah, he suggested that I should bring a sword with me. Seriously? We can use power naman in case of emergency, or he just love swordmanship that much.

Ang weird nila.

~~~~~~~~~

Nakatitig ako sa salamin habang inaayosan ako ni Nanny Lydia at Mira. It's really early!

Since all of us are attending, we're staying from start and at the end of this celebration. It's quite an extensive time just for me to get ready. I bet that everyone else are all set to go, aside from me.

I think we are almost done since Mira already finishing up my hair accessories.

"My Lady will be the center of the celebration, look how ravishing our Lady is." I sighed, I can't counter Mira who looks elated.

She might be right about being the center of the bustling again. In a different way nga lang since later on, about me and Eclipse status will be revealed. For sure, it will be the another talk of the Empire.

"Father, if Ellie saw you being despondent..." Akmang susuwayin na ni Brother Earltone si Papa nang mapatingin sa'kin.

Uh-oh, this scene feels familiar.

I look at my our Father who seems to not notice my arrival at the Entrance. Hearing what Brother Earltone just said, I know na may labag na naman sa loob ng ama naming ang nangyayari. Hay nako.

"What about it, Papa?"

All their attention turned into me when I joined the conversation. Oh yeah, if Iwas receiving an all out compliment by our people, I'm now being showered by my brothers after looking at me for so long.

"My Ellie, you can turn it down, it's still an option." Halos mapanganga ako sa sinabi niya.

Ano ba naman 'to, kung kalian ayos na ts'ka kakalpot.

"Papa..." I whined, Do I have to convince him again for a week just for this topic. "If only I know this is how is start and end, I shouldn't have been swayed by that Claude Gil." I purposely look at my brother but they're all avoiding my gaze. Tsk, ewan ko na sa mga 'to.

Papa, nasa huli talaga ang pagsisisi. Ikaw pa ba ang hihindi eh tiba tiba ako kay Eclipse, Lol.

We're all riding our fanciest carriage, kung ako maususnod ayaw ko nito. Hindi na talaga ako nasanay sa pagiging Elite.

Okay, nakipagtitigan ako sa tatay kong panay ang titig sa'kin. Bawal kumurap ha, Papa.

Maya maya pa ay tumingin ito sa labas, I WON!

Ang gulat ko na lamang nang biglang sumigaw si Papa na pinapahinto ang carriage sa Coach man.

"Santa Purisima, oh mahabaging langit." I blurted out as I almost fell out of my chair, my both arm were held by Skylar and Bother Exchiel that's seating both of my side.

"Huh?" Oh shoot, I really can't fix my habit blurting out some expressions. "Oh? It's nothing. More importantly, Papa? Why?"

Ano na naman pinuputok ng butsi niya? Maryosep.

"We're going back." Utos niya sa Coach man na nalilito din.

"Huh? Why?" taking tanong ni Brother Ezekiah.

"Sorry, get going. Father is just indenial." Balewalang sabi ni Brother Earltone.

"You listen to me, my sons." Seryosong sabi nito sa mga lalaki niyang anak.

"Let's hide Ellie." umirap ako sa sinabi niya.

Brother Earltone looks so done to him, so am I. "Father, it's your fault. You agreed."

Napatahimik naman ang ama namin at nagpatuloy na ang byahe namin.

After all the trouble, later on will be a big one event.
