Reincarnated as a Shameful Noble

Chapter 15: Free from chain

Efimia Silveria

"Young Lady..." napatigil ako. Is it really her? Hindi ba ako niloloko ng mga mata ko?

"Elisse... ikaw ba talaga 'yan? Bakit parang bugbog sarado ka, ah?" She's not wearing her maid uniform and her upper body is covered with bandage. Pinatungan niya lang ito nang mahabang kulay itim na tela na nagsilbing jacket niya.

Okay... paano niya nakayang pumunta rito? Nakakahiya kayang lumabas para sa isang noble na ganiyan lang ang suot. She didn't even hesitate to hug me which made me cringe kasi ako ang nasasaktan para sa kaniya.

"Y-young Lady, I'm glad that you're safe. I'm glad that I found you h-here." maingat naman akong humiwalay sa kaniya dahil mukhang masakit ang katawan niya. What happened to her by the way?

"Look... ikaw ang nawawala at hindi ako. I've been waiting for you but you didn't came. Hindi mo ba alam na muntik na akong mamatay because the duchess attempted to poison me? The knight even said that you made the poisoned food for me," napanganga naman siya at napatakip ng bibig dahil sa pagkagulat niya.

What? She doesn't know it? Looks like hindi nila sinabi sa kaniya tapos ngayong gabi lang siya nagpunta rito e kaninang umaga pa ako nagtago.

"T-they did? But, Young Lady after the day you got the Winter Curse, ipinadala nila ang kapatid ko sa Imperial Palace at nilatigo ako nang tatlumpung beses. Nagpapagaling po ako sa aming silid nang marinig ko sa mga maid kanina na nawawala po kayo. I'm sorry for causing you trouble and for being not a responsible maid to you, Young Lady." she bowed.

Gosh, this woman is so soft and loyal to the point that she's blaming herself. Look at her, she's definitely in pain. Kahit may healing powers siya ay hindi niya pwedeng pagalingin ang sarili niya gamit ito which is the downside of her ability.

"Well... I thank you for worrying about me but you don't need to blame yourself, Elisse. Luckily, you came on time before we leave the mansion." nanlaki ang mga mata niya.

"You're leaving? Why? Young Lady, you can't survive outside of this mansion. Please, I beg you... have mercy on yourself." Lumuhod siya sa harapan ko kaya napairap ako. I find it corny although she's just concerned for me. Why am I so heartless?

"I know but I'm just simply escaping from death, okay? And it's better for me to leave rather than staying in this cruel and stupid family!" Napatitig siya sa akin na parang nagtataka. "Didn't you know? The duchess ordered the captain of the first squadron to kill me. Nakikita mo ba itong mga bakas ng sapatos? It's clearly telling me that they've searched my chamber." napatingin naman siya sa sahig.

"Master, we have to go right now. Sooner, darami ang mga knight na magbabantay sa second floor." tumango ako nang tumagos sa pinto ang ulo ni Anashin. Kung hindi ko siya kilala ay baka nagsisigaw na ako rito.

"Well, I have question to you... do you want to come with me, Elisse? We'll escape this mansion together."

"B-but... Young Lady, If I leave... my family would be at risk. Madadamay sila sa biglaan mong pagkawala dahil magiging katanungan ito kapag nawala rin ako kasama mo. I hope you understand, Young Lady." hay, she don't need to explain. Naiintindihan ko naman ang point niya.

"Okay." wala namang problema sa akin, e. I don't need her anyway since I'm starting my new life. Although, it's a pity since she's a healer.

Naglakad na ako at dahan-dahang binuksan ang pinto para sundan si Anashin.

"I-I... I'll resign first before going with you, Young Lady. Mag-iistay muna ako rito nang isang buwan para hindi po maghinala ang Teveon."

"No need, Elisse. You don't have to follow me because after this... I have no connection with you. Hindi na kasi ako parte ng pamilyang ito. I want to start a new life saka pwede ka naman mag-work sa Imperial Palace para masundan mo roon ang kapatid mo. Isa pa, wala akong maibabayad sa'yo kapalit ng pagninilbihan mo sa akin." tinalikuran ko na siya pero nagsalita siya ulit habang humihikbi.
