The Heiress Of The Legendary Family [S1]
The casilda?

The three of us sat on the edge of a cool waterfall. Mom told us to sit down because we wanted to talk about something.

"Son, how old are you?" ask Mother.

"6 years, Madam" replied Casilda.

Mom smiled gently. "Don't call Madam, call me 'Mother', okay?"

Casilda shook her head. "Can't, Madam. That's not polite" he said.

I chuckled as I ruffled her hair. Casilda looks upset, and I don't care :v

Mother shook her head because she saw my attitude that was too strange, different from usual.

"Son, how can you think like that? Though very rarely there are children who think about things about the mental to the extent..." 'Except Iris.'

Casilda lowered her head while playing her two index fingers. "That's... I once read a book in the library. And also, I never met Mom... So, I think that Madam and Sister Louise should be able to be more grateful.." she replied with a mutter.

Mom raised her eyebrows. "Where is your mother?"

Casilda shook her head, making Mother sad.

"Sorry, Son....."

Casilda again shook her head while holding both of Mom's cheeks. "It's okay, Madam. I'm used to it.."

Get used to? Whatdoes thatmean?

".... I-is?..." I don't seem sure. I guess, Mother is also confused, what does Casilda mean by 'ordinary'?

"... So, what's your name?"

Casilda hesitated for a moment. "My name.... Casilda, Mistress..."

Mom was so shocked that she hugged Casilda along with me. "Hiks... Hix... Finally met... Hix... Irises... He I've found.. Your daughter I found, Iris.." Mom's back sobbing.

Well, what am I supposed to do?

"Mrs? What was? Do you know me? Or my mother?"

Mom stopped crying and looked into Casilda's eyes. His eyes are soft and sloppy. "Actually, your mother was my best friend, son... Her name is Iris, isn't it?"

Casilda nodded quickly. His eyes were implied with high curiosity. I see, so Casilda is the son of a best friend of Mother's....

My mother also told me about her best friend. My best friend's name is Aunt Iris, but I don't know her surname. They met while undergoing the Knight Trials. Aunt Iris helps a commoner who is bullied by a nobleman.

Mother said, Aunt Iris is very kind and humble. She is a wonderful woman who helps anyone who needs help. She was the only friend that my mother had. Aunt Iris Iris I've taken her like her own sister.

Mother said that Aunt Iris' physique was very similar to Casilda's. I can imagine how beautiful Aunt Iris is.

When the Knight Trials were over, Mother returned to the Citrine Residence to pursue her title and Aunt Iris went wandering. Mother and Aunt Iris always exchanged stories by letter, until one day Aunt Iris disappeared. I looked for him everywhere, but nothing.

Years later, Mom hears that the Emerald Family Leader has a mistress named Iris who is giving birth. The mother who realized that it was Aunt Iris went straight to the Emerald Residence.

Not the happy news you get, but the sad news. Aunt Iris died giving birth to Casilda. However, Mother realizes that Aunt Iris' death must not have been due to Casilda. I'm sure that Aunt Iris was poisoned by the fiancee of the Emerald Leader who was burning with jealous flames.

From that moment on, I broke off my working relationship with Emerald in any field. Mother always looked for ways to adopt Casilda, but the Emerald Leader did not allow it.

You can only find a way to adopt Casilda, and that can take years. Citrine's position under Emerald, makes Mother can only wait for time so that Emerald slightly wavering so that it can bring Casilda without obstacles.

And now, we're ahead of Casilda. This kid is so skinny and small, full of scars, and what is this?! His clothes were so shabby and tattered! Casilda was the first child, but why was she treated like this?! The Emerald Leader is really so stupid and outrageous!

I won't forgive him!

Even though I just met, Casilda I already considered like my own sister, just like Mother who considers Aunt Iris like her own sister. And I will not allow Casilda to live in the shadow of the untold forest.

I don't want tree branches to stab him and make him feel tormented. I don't want to!

Hence...

"Casilda, let's go to Citrine House. I promise you, you will definitely live a safe and quiet life there" I asked Casilda.

Mom nodded quickly, agreeing to what I was talking about. Casilda seemed silent for a moment before finally shaking her head. "Sorry, Brother Lou... But, I still want to stay here" Casilda gently refused.

I was immediately shocked. "E-uh?! Why?!"

Casilda smiled softly. "....L'm... Wanted to give Dad another chance.. I'm sure, Dad will definitely love me like he loves Misha" she replied in a small voice.

My voice was like it was stuck in the end of my throat. I can't stand to say anything.

"If that's what Casilda wants, then what can I do." Mother sighed. "You're too mature, Casilda...."

"Thank you, Auntie..." Casilda smiled slightly.

"Eh?! Mama!" I'm squealing. Why did you say something about Casilda, anyway? Later if he is tortured again the same child does not know himself—Misha— and other Emerald Family how, dong? I'm so worried!!

"Louise, Casilda is not a foolish and weak child. You know for yourself, don't you?" said Mom while stroking my head. Even if you say that, I'm still worried... I'm worried about losing my sister, just like Mom lost Aunt Iris.

I was silent for a moment, thinking. Well, I don't think that's a bad idea.. "All right." I looked towards Casilda. "Hows it? Do you agree?" my many.

Casilda nodded. "Yes.. Besides, if I don't agree, then Brother Lou will get in my way, won't he?" pasrah.

I chuckled small. 'Sister Lou' is a call from Casilda, he just made it. Only Casilda can call me that name.

Only him!

The three of us spent time together at that place. For the first time Mom and I got along like this, and it's all thanks to Casilda.

I don't think time has passed so fast. I need to get home soon to finish the files. I also have to go home because being in the Emerald region outside the time limit is a form of crime.

With a heavy heart we went from the territory of the Emerald. I glanced at Casilda who waved her hand at us. Take it easy, my brother. I will definitely take you away from hell in the guise of this lush forest!

Sure is!

Without feeling it, a year passed, and it was time for us to see Casilda again. In spirit I put on my best clothes and sat cheerfully beside Mom.

Ever since Casilda's awakening, I've been getting closer to me. Mom even worked overtime just to spend a quiet Sunday with me. Both Mom and I can't wait to hear "yes" coming out of Casilda's mouth.

However, expectations are not as smooth as reality...

"Ah, the disgraceful child? I kicked him out of here. He's just a useless piece of trash that needs to be removed as quickly as possible."

I couldn't help but be surprised when I heard those words coming out of the Emerald Leader's mouth.

What say? Casilda expelled?!

My sister's.... My sweet sister... Expelled?!

HOW DARE YOU!

I wanted to beat up the Emerald Leader, but Mom did it for me.

PLAQUES

"BASIC SHIT! WHAT KIND OF FATHER ARE YOU?!"

Mom's angry. I'm angry too. We're furious. Casilda was just an innocent child, and she kicked him out instead?!

That's too cruel!

Mom and I rushed out of the Emerald House to find Casilda. I'm sure Casilda is still close to here. I'm certain.

I searched using my magic. Niente. Unmeetable. I did everything I could to get Casilda found. But it also failed.

Casilda.. Disappear.

I fear. What if Casilda ends up the same as Aunt Iris?

I'm too worried. Casilda was a very young child. The world is too cruel for him. Being too frustrated, my attitude began to change. My expression was flat again and my life was monotonous, just like it was before I met Casilda.

I am serving my duties as Citrine's Heir in earnest. I want to establish diplomatic relations with other Main Families— except the Emerald— brengshake to expand the search area of Casilda.

I always try very hard. I'm sure we can meet up with Casilda again. Until 6 years passed. It's been 6 years since Casilda disappeared. I don't know where he went.

I am 15 years old now, I am 13 years old. He's big enough. While touring the Citrine territory, my heart told my body to go to the most famous auction in the Western Plains.

I don't know what got into me until I did something like this. Even Mom was amazed at me.

Don't ask me, Mom.. I don't know myself, I'm a person.

The auction was relaxing and boring. Nothing is exciting. Except for one thing. The VVIP on my left is very strange. There was someone there, but he had no voice at all. Is he dead?

In the end, the figure made a sound as it bid for the crystal stone. Only his hands are visible. Judging from the size of his hands, the owner must be young.

I was quite amazed, because he dared to fight against the famous Amethyst Family tyranny and arbitrary. I wonder who is he? And why could he not be afraid of that Amethyst Family?

I always pay attention and listen to the price they offer. By the time it had reached a large number, the figure was silent. I'm sure he's silent not because of lack of money. But since he only wanted to lure the Amethyst Family away.

I kept watching the curtains. Cih, if I could see through, I would definitely be able to see that person's face. But, wait a minute. Why am I so curious like this?

It's freaky. I did not know that figure, but my heart was familiar with its aura. My heart is getting warm, getting warmer.

The wind blew slowly and made the curtain open slightly. I could see the figure inside the curtain. The figure unfolded the cover of his robe and was eating his food.

Sapphire blue hair with the same eyes. Her hair is short with a longer bangs. That figure is a woman. He smiled a little.

Although a little different, but I they seem to be the same person.

That figure is......

The casilda?

TBC.
