16 - Messing With A Demon

It when Alina knew it, she is now seen in front of the devi-I mean the supposed hidden lady of the Weinberg Manor, Cosette Weinberg

"Who are you?"
Cosette asked, she looked like a few years younger than Alina who towered a few inches from her

Too bad though, she was in a disguise instead of her original appearance. She wonders, what will happen if she suddenly shows what she truly looks like

'No...keep the dark thoughts inside, Alina. You must behave accordingly. Or else this sacred opportunity will be put to waste'

"I-I'm Akina.."
She stammers as her act. Acting all pitiful in front of the girl in front of her. Cosette scoffs at how weak she looked like

Still, just because she's inside her Uncle's manor doesn't mean she can be free from her acted character

"Well, I'm Cosette! Are you lost?"
Alina slowly nods her head, the look of fear embedded to her face

"Yes, and I don't know where to go now? I was always isolated at my home so I don't know what to do-"

"I'll help you"
Alina looked surprised. Until she realizes

'I forgot about one thing..Cosette tend to act like that towards people she doesn't see as a threat. But for me at the past, it was different'

"Who are you?"
A voice suddenly jolts Alina from her anxious trance.

She face a lady that looked similar to her. The lady had the exact blonde hair and ruby red eyes like she did

"I'm A-Alina...Alina Estranne"
She never forgot to bow as she introduces herself

Cosette showed a face of dissatisfaction. As if she is looking at a bland meal only a servant would eat

Her face shrouded with disgust when she realizes that Alina could pose a threat just by looking similarly to hers

"I see..."
Alina wanted to ask for Cosette the directions of the manor as she was too shy to ask the guards who had a intimidating aura around them

But Cosette decided to ignore her and walked past her, ignoring her please for any help

'That girl...she's no good'
She just found a threat to her plan

"T-thank you..but...can I ask something?"
Alina leans closer to Cosette. She clasped her hand together with the other blonde as she sees her nod in confusion

A hidden smirk was graced upon her soft and plump pink lips. She leaned close enough for her lips to graze the latter's ear

"Tell me...just why did your mother give birth to someone like you that will ruin our beloved empire?"
Cosette can see the huge grin on Alina's lips. For a moment, she sees a hint of red in that silver colored eyes

'What was-'
But instead of continuing her own thoughts, she felt enraged at her sudden question. Does she know?

"What do you-"
