Chapter 3: THE SWEETS

Hi everyone! This is the continuation of the second chapter "THE RESTORATION OF LIFE". Please suit yourselves and enjoy!

It had been a month since that encounter. I thought that if what happened in my dream was going to happen in the present, I should be prepared for whatever might happen. I left my room and went to the kitchen where the maids were cooking, I knocked on the door which caused the maids to look at me.

"Lady Nephyllia, what are you doing here? Do you need anything? Do you want something to eat?" an assistant asked.

"I just want to ask for chocolates and sweets because I miss their taste, can you give me at least a few?" I'm making cute face to them.

I make my face more cute and pitiful so that they may grant me what I ask. I hear their whispers, like "***She's so gentle...!", "I want to give her...!", "She looks just like the Duchess...!" and "She's as charming as the Duchess***...!" So, in order to seduce them, they gave me chocolates and sweets.

After I take the chocolates and sweets, I helped them to put decorations to the kitchen. Later on after we decorated it, we leave so that we can work with something else. Minutes have passed, I was planning to come back to fix something when I saw a maid that keeps peeking to a door, so I approach her.

"Uh... What are you doing there?"

It's obvious to her face and reaction the shocked and fear.

"Uh... Little one, do you know where the treasures are hidden?"

"Yes, come with me and I can show you the way where it is. I know some place"

She followed me because she thought that I am just an ordinary girl. I take her to the kitchen.

"What are we even doing here? This is not the place where the treasures are hidden" she pointed out.

I took out a one plate that has a design of diamonds that was buried and utensils that was covered in gold.

"What can you say about this?" I asked her.

"You are a really reliable kid." she said anxiously.

She deliberately pulled off the diamonds to the plates and she put it on the pouches and also the golden ***utensils***. She put it on the top of the table as she digged another things.

"You know for a daughter of a gardener like you, you have a guts to take me where the wealth was hidden." she insulted.

But she didn't even know that I approach to the table and took the pouches of diamonds and gold.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not the girl you are thinking of" I said.

"What are you doing?" she confusingly asked.

"I'm not going to let a thief like you to take away my Mansion's wealth"

"Come back here!" she furiously yell.

She planned to hurt me, but I deliberately run towards the rope that connects to the chandelier of the ceiling, but she didn't notice it.

"Give it back to me! That's mine!" she furiously demanded.

I quickly pull out the rope and that causes the chandelier to drop.

"Things that are mine will never be yours!"

And then, the chandelier drop right before her, but its weight was enough to make her alive. Maybe my comrades heard it outside, so they quickly went in and Athanasia came first, she tightly hugged me because of her worries about me.

"Lady Nephyllia, what happened? You worry me too much."

"I saw someone wanted to take our wealth here in the kitchen, so I've decided to teach her a little lesson"

"Don't you ever to do that again, what if something bad happens to you? Do you get it, huh?"

I nod and smile at her, but they didn't know that the pouches of diamonds and golds were hidden at the bottom of my dress. The night passed and I planned to sleep when I realized the pouches, so I put it under my bed where I collect the diamonds and golds that I took to the sweets that I ate, where those were used to pick it up.

The day after, I asked for the sweets same as the old days and the same as always, they keep giving me what I asked. I went to the forest where it is far from the Mansion and has a beautiful scenery, I ate the sweets here and the lefts were the sticks that covered in gold and diamond. I put it on my pouches that I have been kept and buried it on the ground where I can remember. Since when I was a child, I was fond of eating sweets especially to the chocolates and sweets. Many of them was worries about my health cause maybe it will harm my body, but if they see the attractive and gentle face I made, they can't help themselves but to give it to me even if it is ordered by Athanasia not to let me eat some sweets. They will keep giving some of those if they see my smile receiving the sweets.

Since my Mother died, Athanasia forget her position to take a good care of me to the very young age at twelve years old. She was also breastfeeding and feeding me, and she taught me to read and write. That's why I thank her too much because she's the one who take care of me, as of now, I'm still blessed and grateful to her even though she had a very tragic life and memories in my dreams at the past.
