I'm inside the manor, I'm reading a book while drinking tea.
"Lady Eloise, would you like something to eat?" Veronica asked
"No thank you, I'm good." I replied
"Eloise, I'm going to the imperial palace," my brother said
"So?"
"I'm not coming home 'till tomorrow."
"Okay, and?"
"That's all, are you expecting something else?" He sarcastically asked
"Nah, go on."
I continued to read my book. My brother seem a little bit odd right now. But its normal for a 20 year old guy to be busy with his work, right?
Work, huh?
Is he really working?
I went to my room and changed my clothes to disguise myself.
"Lady Eloise, what are you doing?" Stella asked
"I'm following my brother, you coming?"
"Sure! Anything you asked, my lady! I already made a promise to serve you no matter what!" She said with full of energy
I chuckles, "That's great to hear."
After she changed her clothes, we both headed outside. I didn't let Veronica know we're going since she'll probably report it to my father or to my brother.
We didn't ride a carriage since it'll be too obvious.
We run 'till we got in the palace, it's exhausting and fun in the same time.
"The imperial palace is still far away, my lady,"
"It's alright, we're almost at the capital anyway."
We run 'till we reached our limits. Damn it, the capital is too far than I expected
"What are you two doing?"
We both startled when someone suddenly talk behind us
We turned around and saw Severus with Theodore
"Yo," Theodore greet us with a smile while Severus just look at us with a blank face
"We uh, doing exercise." I excuse
"Y-Yeah, your highness."
"Exercise? In the afternoon?" Severus asked and I nod, "Then why are you wearing cloaks?"
"We're, uh, it's o-our tradition to wear cloaks while exercising, yeah, that's it."
Damn it, i'm lying in front of his highness
"We'll join you."
"What!?" I almost yelled at him
"I wanna know you're up to." He said with a straight face
"Ha, no no, no no." I refuse. He's 'till look at me with a blank expression in this face.
I don't want him to know we're going to the imperial palace to stalk my brother, he'll might think I'm creepy and a over protective sister. Being called a villain is enough
"Uh oh, looks like we have an emergency, my lady!"
Emergency?
"We gotta go my lady!" She grabbed my hand and we run away
"What emergency?" Severus asked
"It's constipation, your highness!" Stella yelled, I closed my mouth to laugh
We stopped behind a tree after we got away far enough to his highness and to Theodore
"Phew," Stella sigh
"You really save us there."
"Don't mention it my lady,"
We walked till we entered the capital. I can now see the emperor's palace from here
I'm dying to see what my brother's doing every time he go there
