...It was a sunny day but it felt like in the outside of the Evercrest marquised. Being an illegitimate child my life was no worse than a maids daughter even though I am one of the children of the Evercrest family. Though I was always ignored. It wasn't like anyone cared about me but the servents did . The thing which I didn't wanted , they have given it to me . The attention they gave me contains with muddy waters, expired food , and foods which are leftovers after they finished their servings. Sometimes the leftovers can be some bread crumbs or maybe there none . So most of the time I starve the day . Even though there are still gossip which doesn't reside within the castle walls ....
When I was 13 finally the marquis came home after 10 years . During this 10 years they torture me , abused me as they pleased. Especially Eliza Evercrest she's the legitimate eldest daughter and Alen the eldest son and the only son of the madam and the marquis.
...Eliza ways to abuse me is simple as day . First thing in the morning she needs to humiliate me in front of her friends. Not only that she would let her maids to ruined my clothes, jewelry which my mother left for me . Keepsake of my mothers heritage were stolen and been ruined by her . But what can I do expect follow her will and play along . There are no such things as wishes in this family after all ....
^^^Alen doesn't actually interact with me often. After he went to the academy his interaction with me has been lessen by the day . He doesn't bully me . But always been silent even when he saw everything. Everything about how they treat me in this family. He doesn't say or argue for me with them . In paintings I am always been the outsider which ruined the marquises life being born and showcaseing his afier .^^^
One day in my 18th birthday my father announces Eliza his favorite child's engagement with Duke Clement. At that I didn't know that my wishes would finally came true and it was the beginning of all the events and the end of the dark storm of aife which have risede within me .
...Is it a beginning of an life that I want to lead ....
...In my 18 birthday I was excited to know that my father would finally throw a banquet for me just like he does for Eliza . I went down from the stairs and went to the ball room only to learn that it was all arranged for Eliza's Engagement.
...
.........I said to father -" Father today is my birthday. Do you remember it ?" His eyes instantly filled with guilt . He narrowed his eyes down not trying to see the mistake which has crumbled his relationship with his family .In the hall people gossiping sayin ' Why an illegitimate child is here ?' I thought to myself that " Is this some kind of scared hall or something ..........
...The Evercrest banquet hall....
The gleaming lightings the dance after her engagement announcement of Eliza I was in a corner of the banquet hall.
There was I with a pale skin and dark blue eyes like the night sky . With my brown hair just like my mother .
^^^[ To be continued. ]^^^
Everyone suddenly look up in the direction of the stairs I also look and saw them
...They were coming down the stairs my father, stepmom, Eliza and Alen looked like the picture perfect family they were and I an...
outsider who shouldn't exist just how my dress looked like they're matching outfits compared to mine .
They were coming down the stairs happily. One of the guest said " oh my lady Eliza and lord Elen looked like they were some fairy tale prince and princess." 'The marchioness doesn't felt like she even aged ' another one said . ' As expected like mother like daughter lady Eliza is spitting image of her mother. Lord Alen looks just like the marquis when he was young.' And on and on .
One of the guest suddenly pointed his finger at me . Nobody cared that he disgracing me or not . They blatantly talk about how I was not even part of a family portrait or the fact that I didn't even had my debutante . That I was never been invited to a ball or tea parties. They mock me and my dress. The only dress of my mothers that I actually could keep. The reminder that I'm just a maids daughter a mistress child. The mistake and the stain of the Evercrest marquised. I ran away from the banquet hall and went to the garden .
The evening moon, the shining light which made the garden more lovelier than usual. Maybe because there are no one here only me and the moon . Beatrice means the bringer of happiness. Ironically it may seem the name concept didn't work at all . My mother name me this but it only had bring misfortune only . A stain , a mistake I've been hearing it from a long time. Starting from the time I was born till now.
[Woosh Swoosh]
Suddenly I hear a noise. Who's there ? Come out or I'll call guards now . You won't get away from me. There I heard it again . It's not the wind I'm sure of it. I announced that I'll call guards but would they even listen to me . In this mansion no one actually interact with me except FIORA my attended maid . But she isn't allowed to go anywhere. She also felt prejudice because of me . But I'm sure some intruder has came here . Again . I'll follow the sound it's fainting but if I run I could come close to it .
Then I saw it the silhouette of a man wearing a black tuxedo with a mask even though it's not a masquerade ball. Then I noticed his legged were injured even though he may be an intruder. His pale skin blood dripping from it . I felt pity and sympathy for him even though I'm not in the say recurring my situation.
He looked mesmerizing. I felt ashamed thinking this even though seeing him injured. But his intimidating aura made him looked charming. Suddenly it felt like the environment has became more brighter.
I noticed he has blood dripping from his face . I removed the masked and wipe the blood from handkerchief. I'm being grateful towards my experiences to always have a pair of handkerchief close by . Then I noticed his bare face his more charming and handsome than I thought.
He looked at me and said - ‘ Thank you miss . I'm forever grateful to you . But may I know your name please .’ I replied - ‘Beatrice, Beatrice Rosalie Evercrest.’ It's a beautiful name . He replied. When I asked him ' who are you '? he replied - Your most trusted servent and butler Leonardo DiCaprio. Your last life trusted servent. After All fate brought us together so we must known each other in another lifetime. Au revoir mademoiselle and if had any wish I'll fullfilled them . After all 'your wish is my command.’ Then he left . My face was flustered about what he said . He was gone but the shocked didn't.
He jumping out
I have the handkerchief and thinking about it how did he came here ?
At that time I didn't know that he would make my world upside down.
......................
[TO BE CONTINUED]
After that I went back to the ball . I still can't believe that I let him go like that .
I quickly hide my handkerchief and act normal . But even though my heart was beating hard . I told father that I wasn't feeling well and quickly left the banquet hall and went to my room . Well it wasn't like it would make any difference if I stay or not . But I went away . Just so nothing else happen again.
After I open the door I saw my room it was nothing special compared to Eliza's room but it was lovely at least they provide me better things sometimes. My maid already started to lighten the room .
well it doesn't matter. I put the handkerchief in a drawer hiding it even from my maid and best companion which she was . She quickly want and bring some food. I asked her-' how did you know I didn't eaten anything?' I just knew miss ' she replied. I told her to go to her queter and rest for the bed and doesn't come to care for me now . She asked did anything happen miss . I said usual and brushed it off.
I didn't mention him or the fact that he was intruder. DiCaprio if I'm right there isn't house name after it . Then it means he's not a noble. Good that I didn't mention my name to him . Wait did I ? I can't remember neither his face nor the fact whether I ever mentioned my name before to him . Now that's weird . Though it was night time So maybe I couldn't see his face but he looked charming his Aura sure was. I don't know whether his a Ally or a foe of the marquis. But I could tell he's a nice guy. Maybe because he said he will make my wish come true. Well I think about it tomorrow, let's go to bed now shall we . I'll try to find about him tomorrow I close the balcony door and turn off the candle lights and went to sleep.
I said Good Night to myself.
I went to the library to find out about Leonardo DiCaprio. In there I found the book for the topic about the empires noble houses maybe he could be someone that I don't know about in there I found abut the house's which this empires have . Our empire is the Drakenhart empire . After the first emperor defeated the king of dragon named Drakenhart it was name after the defeated dragon . So the Drakenhart imperial family governs the empire . They black hair like the night sky . But if we think about it that guy also has black hair but that's impossible. I might've been mistaken . There are two prince and princess. One is the crown prince Cedric Maximilian Drakenhart and Princess Fiona Aurelia Drakenhart.
And the next page has a map of the empire huh.
I looked the map too but no name of noble house name DiCaprio????? So he really is a commoner.
But how did a commoner came to a nobles house. It's impossible for a commoner and why was he injured ? Just who is Leonardo then ? Why was he injured. I remember now that I told him my name and hear I thought I didn't. Will he do something to me or murder me ? Beatrice calm down now . That wouldn't happen if he doesn't want to die than or is it Eliza's new kind of tormenting. I don't think so. Could it be that he's a guest servent and was beaten up by him cause he did something wrong or he might be assassin is he I don't quite know .....
