Part 2
Violet just smiled. Cesia felt the atmosphere became unease.
"Let me bring some tea," Cesia said breaking the uncomfortable silence. Then, she went to the other side of the staff room, where she put some variant of tea leaves, sugar, milk, cups, teapot, and small stove. When she made the tea, she adjusted her ear to hear Violet and Grabiner talking.
"Apparently, I unconsciously teleported myself right before the goblin ate my soul…"
"But I saw you were eaten by the goblin in my very eyes!" Grabiner cut her off, shouting desperately, Cesia noted. Maybe the event for him was as fresh as it happened the day before.
"Maybe, it's just your illusion, Hieronymous. In fact, I am here, safe and sound. Thanks to the other creatures in the Otherworld that helped me go back here," she said softly.
Cesia could hear Grabiner sighed heavily.
"Why, Hieronymous? Are you not glad to see me again?" Violet asked.
"It isn't like that, I mean, I'm happy you are back…" as Cesia heard that, she felt a pang of jealousy, but she shrugged it off. "But… why are you not mad to me?"
Violet laughed. Even she laughed, she didn't lose any elegance. So lady-like… Cesia noted.
"Mad? For what? Come on, Hieronymous, it's not all your fault, dear! After all, it was my idea! So, don't think too much about it, right?" from her tone, Cesia knew that Violet tried to calm him down.
"So, am I forgiven?" Grabiner asked. Cesia knew that it was the reason about him being so reclusive; because he felt that he was not forgiven.
"There is nothing that you should apologize for, Hieronymous. All is our fault, not your, not mine," Violet said kindly.
As she put the boiled water to the smaller teapot with green tea leaves, she heard Violet said,
"Then, how about us?"
Cesia glanced to them, and she saw Violet grabbed Grabiner' hands. She tried to finish making the tea, without thinking too much about it.
"I don't understand what you mean, Violet," she heard Grabiner replied plainly. But she could hear a little… worry in his tone.
"I think… it isn't too late to continue our relationship, Hieronymous…"
Cesia startled, unconsciously knocked a cup with her elbow. But thanks to her quick action, she didn't make the cup became shattered as pieces.
"I'm sorry, but I think I can't think about it now."
'Now? Just now?' Cesia mused. She placed two cups which filled by green tea to the tray, and walked toward them.
"Why?" Violet' voice became higher. Shocked, Cesia thought. She silently put the two cups in the table.
"Because I have already married."
"What? With who?"
"Her," Grabiner glanced at Cesia. Violet looked at Cesia at disbelieve, and Cesia just nodded and smiled.
"Cesia Tou…*cough* Grabiner," Cesia bowed deeply, which was completely ignored by Violet.
Cesia wanted to leave as soon as possible. But it was too rude right? So, she called Ellen through farspeak
'Ellen! Go to the staff room! ASAP!' she cried loudly at her mind.
'Why? What happened?' Ellen voice became worried.
'I'll explain to you later. Just help me go from here, OK?'
'Alright.'
In the uncomfortable silence, only several sounds from Violet sipping her tea. Suddenly the door was knocked by someone.
"Excuse me," a soft voice came from the door as it opened after Grabiner giving the permission. Ellen came in, grabbing Cesia's arm.
"Virginia told me that she needed Cesia to talk about… the sports club, so may I borrowed her for the rest of the day?" Ellen spoke softly, glancing several times to Violet.
"Sure." Grabiner replied shortly.
"So, you think Grabby will divorce you and back to Violet?" Virginia commented after Cesia told them everything.
"Un." Cesia nodded. "What should I do?"
"It's all depend on what do you want, Cesia," Ellen said softly.
"Whether you want to continue this marriage or not," Raven said. "What do you want?"
Cesia gulped. 'What do I want, huh?'
"I just… I don't know," Cesia said desperately. "Sure I want to continue this, but… what if Professor Grabiner still love her? It only makes things become worse…"
"Just think about it slowly, Cesia. You still have four months to think about it," Minnie patted her shoulder lightly, trying to calm her down.
"Alright… thank you for listening me, guys."
On the Thursday Cesia took white magic class, Professor Potsdam walked in with a smile.
"Good morning, my dear students. From today onwards, I will not teach magic class. There is someone who really mastered white magic, as her experience interacting with other creatures that belongs to spirit realms, Miss Violet Gabrielle, come here, and introduced yourself."
Violet came to the class, and smiled.
"Thank you, Professor Potsdam. Guys, from today onwards, please bear with me. You all can call me Violet if you want!"
Raven, who sat right beside Cesia, rubbing Cesia's back slowly, as she realized that Cesia had clenched her pencil until it was going to break.
And, talk about unluckiness, Violet didn't teach any spell, but shared her experience in Iris Academy—save her journey in Otherworld, include her relationship with Grabiner.
And, of course all of the students glanced to Cesia many times, but Cesia just ignored it.
'And… everyone will know about this tomorrow.'
On Friday she took blue magic class. Many students in the class were badmouthing her—that obviously was heard by Cesia, and no one of them gave her a chair to sit.
"Cesia! Here!" a sound from the corner of the class called her. It was Virginia, and Cesia quickly went to her.
"Bad day, huh?" Virginia grimaced. Cesia just smiled.
"I don't care."
When Grabiner came in, the class became silent. Only Grabiner voice that filled the room, explained about how to transfer substances from a creature to somewhere else. In the middle of the lessons, Violet came in.
"Morning, Hieronymous! Can I borrow Cesia for the rest of the day? I know from Potsdam that she had had an astral projection several times ago, so I would like to discuss it!" Violet chirped, sometimes shrugging her shoulder lightly, not forgetting to send a glare to Cesia.
"What a bad liar," Cesia mumbled. "Even she herself didn't sure what she just said."
"Yeah. I bet it will be about your marriage. Good luck, sis!"
"Un!"
As Cesia walked to the front of the class, Virginia could see that the whole class just stared at the triangle love drama.
"Sure you can," Grabiner answered shortly. Violet quickly grabbed Cesia's arm and Virginia swore that she pulled Cesia roughly, even for a while.
Once they arrived at Violet's room, they started to talk.
"So… Is that true that you married to Hieronymous?"
"Yes, and I'm sure that you've heard that several times," Cesia answered coldly, without losing her politeness. "Although it was an accident."
"Accident, huh? What kind of accident it was?"
Cesia sighed, and then told her the accident which became the reason of her marriage.
"So, in January 27th you'll be divorced, right?" she asked sharply.
"Maybe yes, maybe no. I myself don't know what will happen on that day. It depends on Professor Grabiner's decision."
Violet smirked.
"Have you used any logic, Cesia? He only married you because he didn't want you to be killed."
"But he cares me so much!" Cesia shouted, losing her patient.
"Are you talking about you being abandoned by your parents? Funny, he only took a pity on you, you know? And are you sure you've made him happy, as his wife?"
"I…"
There she was. She lost all her confidence. What Violet had said was true. Had she ever made him happy?
All she could do was inviting troubles for him.
"You don't know anything about him, yet you are still sure that you can make him happy. I don't think it was hard to win against you."
Cesia just stood in silent, trying her best not to cry in front of Violet.
"Whether you want to continue this marriage or not."
"It's all depend on what do you want, Cesia."
Cesia clenched her fist. She looked right into Violet's eyes.
"I don't deny that I don't know anything about him. But I will try my best to continue this marriage, and I will surely make him happy," she said confidently. She didn't want to back down before trying.
Cesia then teleported herself to the west part of academy, running in the track field which was made by herself, as a meditation to calm herself. All her problems, her worries, her fear were swept by the wind. And then, she knew what she had to do.
She had to accomplish her plan, even there was no guarantee that it would be success.
Cesia walked to the staff room, organizing letters for the students in silent.
"So, why did Violet say to you? We both knew that it was not about your astral projection," Grabiner' voice came from the door.
"Nothing important, I should say," Cesia shrugged her shoulder, continuing her work.
Grabiner just sighed, sitting before her.
"Sir!" she shouted, standing up from her chair.
"What is it, Cesia?"
Cesia looked to his eyes. Even her face slowly became red, she still looking at his eyes.
"I… I'll do my best! Just wait and see!" she shouted, and then ran away to send the envelopes for the student…
...without knowing he smirked at her amusedly.
So, how's that? Thank you for reading. Review, please?
