Lianna woke up.Her father gently picked her off the carriage. "Take her inside and treat her", Gwen.
"Yes Master.Come in my lady,Let's get you bathed."
While bathing
"My lady where did you get these scars from??" "Aunt and Uncle beat me all the time,But I'm strrrong!" Gwen was shocked to see a deep scar at the back of her thighs.
After Bathing
At the living room of Ilnois
"Young Master,The Lady's wounds are too deep to be ignored.The lady is stronger than any other noble child,so she beared with it all this time" "Hmm we'll just have to punish them then.Where is Melina?" "The Young Lady is currently at the Qintas residence" "Mmm.She should come back soon.
She has to meet her niece after all." Gwen bowed and went to see Lianna. "Young Lady If you need anything,Please don't hesitate to call us." "Thank you" said Lianna.
The Next Morning
"Brother~~I'm back~.Okay Duke Ilnois replied.Brother,Here are the documents you asked me for~" "Thanks.Would you want to see your niece?Huhhh Niece??Brother I was sure you had a woman."With that face how would you not~" ".I adopted her." "Brother Why would you adopt anyone?Even though I know your sweet,You don't behave like this to anyone."She said in a more serious tone ".Hmmph.Fine I'll meet her" ".Thanks sis." He replied.
At Lianna's room:
Lianna is reading a book,While suddenly the most beautiful woman with blonde hair like the sun and the same violet eyes peeked into the room.The woman came in and introduced herself."Hello My name is Melina Francine De Ilnois.I am your father's sister." Lianna was shook.She kept her calm and introduced herself too,and then she asks "Aunt?" "Yes sweetheart.You have our eyes." The woman seemed like she was trying her best,So Lianna said, "Aunt,How is my father like?" Melina's eyes widened and her lips curved into a beautiful smile. "Oh My Gosh~ Aren't you the cutest~~Come I'll tell you all about Fleran!"Fleran is the eldest son of The former Duke Ilnois,He was always known to be hostile towards others and sweet to his own family.He was very tolerant when it came to him,But if anyone touched a hair on his family members they would be done for.Once Someone insulted me and he had their tongue cut off. "Really?" "Yes"."Then why would he adopt Me?" "He thinks you are special.I think you are special too.you have the aura of an Ilnois." "It was very nice meeting you.we'll have tea tomorrow.see you later~" "Well that lady was nice" she thought.Time to talk to The head maid.
Lianna went to the head maid and asked,"Can I go to the library?" "Yes you can my lady,Let me show you the way."As Lianna walked with the head maid,She asked her "Can I get a piece of bread and jam?"
"Of course my lady.Here is the library."The head maid was shocked to see the duke over there. "Oh,Lianna come here and sit "he said signaling to a seat beside him.Lianna reluctantly went and sat next to him".Fiona get her something to eat." "Yes young duke".As soon as the door shut.He changed from hostile to a sweet dad."Lianna,What book did you come here for?What do you want to eat?"Huuh Melina was right this is the sweetest dad ever! "Duke Ilnois I'm here for Algebraic notations by Aleksander Yvonne" "That's great How did you know who it was written by?" "I learnt secretly when I was at Aunt's house ".
They didn't even let her learn. Angruirent you'll pay for this.. "Ok Lianna I'll get you the book" He reaches out for the book and and gets it for her "Thank you she said". "Youre welcome" he said while smiling.While both of them were reading,The Head Maid knocked on the door "Sir,Can I come in?" "Yes you may" he replied. "Sir this is the Lady's bread n jam and your steak" "Okay thanks fiona." While they were eating they talked about the latest books.Then,He asked her,"Lianna,Am I nice to you?" "Yes you are Duke,You are the only other person who has been nice to me.I thank you for everything" she said."I am thankful that you like me: he replied.By the time they came out,It was already late evening.
The Ilnois Living room
"Duke Ilnois,C-Can I sleep in t-the room next to you?" She Asked shakily.Fleran found it very cute and said yes.Lianna hugged him and he was happy.
Before sleeping, He tied a bracelet around her wrist.He showed her an earring and told her that it was what kept them connected.He told her to go to sleep.
Lianna fell asleep.During that Dream,she saw the woman taking pills and then falling down to the floor.Then she saw her ghost and tossed and turned.Fleran felt her energy shaking and went to her room.He hugged her and consoled her,"It's going to be alright,I'm right here with you" In her sleep she mumbled "Thank you,Father"Duke Ilnois brightened up and sure that she was alright,He brushed her hair, "You are my only daughter Lianna,And will always be" he said then he hugged her and went back to his room to sleep.
