Villainess' Second Chance

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED ELEVEN

I woke up as I feel the light from the sun shine brightly

"Oh, you're awake, lady Eloise, I was just about to wake you up. We're setting off anytime soon. I brought some bread and eggs from the farm nearby. Theodore boiled them. Everyone has eaten already." Stella stated

I smiled at her, "Thank you, Stella."

"You're welcome, lady Eloise, it's my duty to serve you." She replied

I got up and eats the bread she brought

"Good morning, lady Eloise." Theodore greeted

"Good morning to you too," I respond

"Raiden is coming with us, however, one of us isn't delighted on such news." He remarks

"It's Gabriel, isn't it?" I ask

"Yeah, he's still angry because of that incident four years ago. I'm sure one day he'll find himself forgiving Raiden if ever he realized that it wasn't Raiden's fault."

I hope so too...

I don't want him to turn into someone like Alphonse, who held his hatred for a long time.

"Are we ready to go now?" Severus asks

"How could you be sure that we'll get there in a minute?" Gabriel inquiries

"I can teleport because I'm a mage." Raiden flashes a smile at Gabriel

"tsk."

I quickly finished my bread. I have to bring this with us so we can have food along the way

"Your highness, shall we go?" Raiden asks and Prince Severus simply nod.

We began to gather around him, and heard him cast some phrases

Suddenly, a bright light flashes before my eyes. I started to feel lightheaded so I close my eyes.

The next thing I knew, I opened my eyes and found myself standing in front of a enormous giant tree within the forest

"Wow..." I murmurs

I was about to touch the tree when I noticed there's an invisible wall protecting it. It deflects anyone one who wanted to harm the tree

"Who are you!"

I voice yelled at us, I look up and saw a old man wearing a very long coat

Raiden stepped forward and stated, "Mr. Humrey Shele, sorry for invading through your private property, I brought my friends hoping you could help them."

Humrey Shele didn't speak, he fixes his gaze on me.

He suddenly disappeared and in just a second, he's there standing in front of me

"Who are you?" He asked

"Eloise Ophelia, sir...." I replied

"No, who are you?" He insisted

What does he mean? I'm starting to get confused

"Your exterior looks just like the lady of the ducal's state, Eloise Ophelia, however, I am not able to sense her soul from you. Who are you?" He adds

I didn't speak. Did he just found out that I'm not Eloise?

I can feel their glances on me

"That's not true, she's the lady Eloise and my master." Gabriel remarks

"I see, I must be mistaken. Very well, what brought you here?" Humrey turned away from me as he asks

"We wanted to ask for something that can heal Augustus's sister." Theodore response

Humrey didn't answer

"He died four years ago, but his sister is in under my care. She has magical capabilities just like the other mages." I inserted

"Must be Veshorn's daughter." Humrey responded

"Who's Veshorn?" I asks

"A mage who married a  ordinary human long ago. I believe they had a child long time ago, but it turns out that the child doesn't inherent his father's abilities. Many years passed, they had another child, and I believe that child inherent his father's powers. That's the only information I know from them."

"Their father died." I added

Humrey looked away, "I see...."

"Zian is the only one that can save the whole empire. She knows who took the missing children, so please, help us out.." I begged

Humrey didn't respond. He vanish within the air and I felt devastated

I'm sorry, Zian...
