Cherreads

Chapter 4 - Ch-4| Reflections of the past

After convincing Siara not to ask anymore questions he and Siara moved towards the right side of the pedestal and went to the second floor through the staircase.

In the dining room of the second floor was a large dining table.It would be better to call the dining room a hall. Also, the table's length was enormous and width was normal for a person to eat there.It had rounded corners in all sides that gave the table a curved shape.

Beside the table were luxurious wooden chairs with beautiful designs. Every item in the dining room was a relic.

Siara and Leon sat at the middle of the dining table on side by side chairs.

Siara asked,"What are we gonna eat?"

When Siara asked the question the dining table was fully empty but as soon as she finished asking it,two large cards appeared on the dining table.

The two cards were actually menu cards.

Siara's expression changed suddenly,he face became pale seeing two menu cards.

She thought 'How?In this fantasy world I got menu cards? Seriously?'

But soon she convinced herself thinking 'No-no, fantasy does not always refers to ancient.'

Surprisingly,the menu cards had all the dishes of Siara's place.

Siara didn't even need to confirm that if the menu card have any dish of her world that she may not know as the menu card was only one sided-had dishes written on one side while the back was filled with designs only.

The menu card contained many dishes like tea,rice,cakes of variety,steamed buns and several other dishes. From starting drink to night desert, it contained everything required.

Siara gently asked Leon,"Hey!Why these dishes in the menu are so unaligned and mixed?Plus-Why this menu card is in english? You said that you are the last person to whom I can talk in english,so how come this?"

Leon put his index finger on his lips.

"Ssshh"

"But!"

Siara was going to add something more suddenly Leon stood from the chair while both his hands were on table.

"Why you ask so many questions? I said that it is the last time you are getting this princess treatment,so enjoy."

Leon said this and moved to leave the room.

While Leon was halway to the exit of dining room Siara stood up and said,"What do you mean by this is the last time I'm getting this treatment? This is the first time, although I born as a noble I didn't live,you know nothing about me yet you dare to say such things,you cannot explain yourself yet expect me to endure everything."

Siara stood up and moved forward.She even crossed Leon while leaving the dining room.At last she even left the mansion during that time when sky was dark.She ran away from the mansion in any random direction she could find.

Tears were flooding from her eyes but she didn't make any sound,any movement,any face. She just kept running, she was so upset that she forgot to weep her tears, consequently her vision lowered yet she kept running.

At last she closed her eyes and continued running.

These extreme emotions caused a change within her body.A green energy started releasing from Siara, increasing her speed. She even hit many trees but ultimately passed through it,as if she never touched the tree.

With her each step the green energy glowed even more,it also increased with every step but within sometime the extra energy got nullified.

While running she touched a threshold;she began to traverse different spaces and at last reached a place where a kind of liquid was flowing beneath her.Yet she remained unaffected as if she was standing over an invisible barrier over the liquid.If someone looked from above from a very distant position,he could see that a glowing river with space itself as water flowing through.When Siara focused on the liquid directly beneath her she saw her own reflection. Although it was astonishing that space was reflecting upon Siara but the more astonishing thing was that when Siara looked a little farther she saw herself when she fell from the cliff that led to Bone Dragon's skeletal structure.Seeing little farther again,she saw herself while she was running in the jungle before reaching the Bone Dragon's skeletal structure's cliff.

Siara looked little farer and saw herself.

She was inside a hall with many beautiful sparkling chandeliers covering a large chandelier at the middle that was glowing the most hanging from the ceiling.

The middle chandelier was emitting golden radiance while the other were emitting little dull golden light compared to the large chandelier.

Siara was standing near a table with her tight fitting white frock and holding a red drink in her hand.

A man came towards Siara and offered a drink.

Siara looked at the man who was wearing a white suit and acting with a gentle behaviour.

"No,I don't drink any intoxication drink."

The man hiding his embarassed coughed and looked at Siara's drink which she was holding.

Siara sensing the gaze replied,"This is not alcoholic sir."

The man nodded his head and went somewhere else.

Just after the moment a stunning couple entered the hall through the main gate.There was a man wearing a blue suit with a black pant and a beautiful and stunning woman holding the hand of the man. The woman was wearing a red kirtle with rose design woven on it. Both looked like as if they were in their early 30s.

The couple made a stunning entrance and shifted towards the centre of the hall.

The man wearing blue suit and black pant gently put down his' lady hand and confidently stood forward.

He started his speech with a typical cough for attention.

"Ladies and gentlemen,we all know the man reason for gathering here and we already discussed about it.So now I have returned here to announce something."

The crowd chilled listen this.People began whispering about the announcement. From their whispers it was revealed that the party was originally arranged for their victory over the neighbouring kingdom and King's general Sir Franquis already gave a speech regarding this at start of the party.

The man wearing blue suit and black pants without giving any further time for the whispers to grow said, "Please calm down you all. I want to announce that I am arranging a bethoral for my second daughter with the first son of general Franquis after three days."

Siara was still standing near the table somehow enjoying her drink. But as soon as her father finished talking the last sip of the drink got stuck in her throat. She somehow swallowed both the drink and news of her bethoral.

She yelled at the man wearing blue suit and black pants,"It's my choice old man and I say no-no-no never to that scum."

The people present in the hall were shocked and in a sudden whispers covered the whole hall.

"Does it mean that rumour of affair between third prince and second daughter of manor lord true?"

"I also think so,but how could she slander first son of general?"

A third person whispered,"She long coveted the third prince, that's why she has the nerve to disobey general."

"But how disrespectful-how could she be a noble?"

Tired of these long running whispers Siara's father yelled Siara,"I have done this for a reason and do you really want everyone to think about the things between you and third prince to be true?"

Siara's father coughed screaming this much. Her wife held her and he continued,"Just say me one thing,Do you really love third prince?"

Siara screaming no the whole crowd was more amazed.

Again whispers began covering the hall.

Siara who was unable to hold this much mental pressure got out of the hall and ran away.

Currently,

Siara snapped out of the past and saw that Void river flowing towards one direction.
