Chapter 2
The Japanese girl was ready in a few minutes and is escorted into the dining hall by the servant.
"How pretty. The dress suits you."
"What did she say?"
"She said you are pretty, Ojou-sama."
"Stop calling me that, my name is Yuiki. Tell them that as well."
"Hai, Yuiki-sama."
"Oh, so you're name is Yu-ki, Yu-ik? It's hard to pronounce. I'll just call you Lai. It's much easier to pronounce and is what I used to call you back then."
"Why am I here?"
The servant translates for both parties every after conversation.
"You are part of our family now. You are a Noah like me."
The earl then further explains the family history.
After that, Yuiki heads back to the room and sleeps.
"Please wake up, Yuiki-sama."
"Leave me alone for now."
The servant opens the curtains which revealed the bright sunlight. Yuiki could no longer sleep again due to the light and finally got up.
"You're annoying."
"Then try to listen more. I don't want to get into trouble again."
"Yeah, I will."
"In the morning, you'll have breakfast with the Earl and Road-sama. After that, you are to have your lessons."
"Why do I have to have lessons?"
"They say that you must learn English. It won't do they say if you can't speak their language."
"Why do I need to learn theirs? I love my own native language. I do not wish to learn a foreign country's."
"Please, Ojou-sama."
"I told you not to call me that."
"Gomen, Yuiki-sama."
"Stop adding the honorifics."
"I can't. It is a sign of disrespect. I am merely a servant and you are my master."
"Leave and come back later. I'm going to change."
"I'll call the maid shall assist you."
"There is no need. I'll do that by myself. Leave now."
"Hai, Yuiki-sama," said the servant as he left while closing the door behind him.
"Good morning, Lai."
"Good morning."
She sits at the table and then starts eating.
She remained silent the whole time and didn't bother to listen. Road noticed this though and frowned.
"Why aren't you listening, Lai?"
"Gomen."
Road continued speaking until breakfast ended. Yuiki got up and headed back to her room.
"Your lesson starts, Yuiki-sama."
"I don't want to."
"Please don't be too stubborn. I'll get into trouble is you don't learn."
"I don't really want to."
"Please, Yuiki-sama."
"Fine," she replied although reluctant.
The two were inside the study room of the manor. Books were on the table as the sun was shining brightly outside.
"I'm bored with this. It has been already how many days. I don't really like this."
"Stop complaining, Yuiki-sama. Please take it seriously."
"Can I go outside? It really looks nice out there. I've been inside too long."
"We have to finish the lesson first."
"If I'm done with it for today, I can go?"
"Fine."
She then recited the whole lesson the way he taught her to.
"You already knew this? Why did you pretend to be finding it hard?"
"I hate it. And since I'm done. I'll be going then," she said while getting up and rushing outside the door.
The servant followed after her.
"Yuiki-sama. Please don't run."
She ignored him and continued running outside in the garden beneath the rays of golden light.
He ran after her in her circles until they were both exhausted.
She lied down on the grass ignoring his cries that her clothes will get dirty. She even pulled him down along with her.
"Now, you're dirty too."
He got up with the same serious look.
"Please, Ojou-sama. Let's get back inside. You need to change. It's almost time for the afternoon tea."
"Call me by my name. I'm not that person."
"Please, Yuiki-sama."
"Yes, yes. I'll get up. You're really boring," she said while sitting up.
He offered his hand to pull her up but she just dragged him back down.
"Yuiki-sama!" he exclaimed in surprise. "Please act your age."
"Won't you too? You're acting like an old man."
"Let us go back inside, Yuiki-sama before Road-sama and the Earl returns."
"Yes, yes, I'll go."
