Chapter 9: 09 Dandelion of Scarlet Flowers 3 – That Fateful Day

09 Dandelion of Scarlet Flowers 3 - That Fateful Day

 

"Starlight Edelweiss Flower?"

"Yes, the flower has a beautiful meaning. Suitable for Father and brother! I want to find her, do you know where those flowers grow, Lily, Randall?"

With twinkling eyes, I gave a hopeful look to the two servants who had followed me since I was a child.

Lily McDonough, the Head Maid of Horgan's House.

Randall Credge, the male servant of Horgan's House.

"Looking for edelweiss flowers? Why don't you ask the guards or ask the mercenaries to do it? Should you look for it yourself? What about head Buttler Marvin? Did you get permission from him? Besides, if you managed to get that flower, What would you do with it, Young Lady Dandelion?"

I was stunned to hear a long question from Lily.

In my heart, I whispered, 'again... Lily hasn't changed.'

Lily... As always, she would always ask me anything I wanted to do with a lot of questions. Oh, it's not because she wants to control me or anything, it's just that she wants to make sure what I'm doing was safe.

I understand she's just worried about my safety. So that I could only silently give her a bitter smile every time she acted like that.

As for Randall, as usual, this boy who was only three years younger than me put on a curious expression but without daring to ask. Aih, this little boy was really shy.

It was the same day as the previous days.

The weather looks sunny and calm.

But I didn't expect it... An ordinary day can turn into a day that changes my destiny.

....

"Young Lady, we are almost at our destination. You can wait near that hill. Let the guards take the flowers to you."

I looked towards the group of people who were forcibly accompanying me in search of the starlight edelweiss flower with a speechless expression.

In the end, I had to make a deal with Lily. Even though I said I wanted to go quietly without telling Grandpa Marvin.

Lily still insisted on coming along, as well as taking some other people like Uncle Norman and the other guards to accompany me in looking for the flower, for the sake of my security.

Randall was staying at Horgan's house watching Grandpa Marvin's movements.

"Haah ... Uncle Norman, you won't be able to take it. Starlight Edelweiss flowers will wither if forced to pick them. We need to sing a song of spirit that can touch their hearts, then they will voluntarily separate from the ground and come towards us."

One of the guards said, "Hmm... Then, Young Lady, how about I go get it? I don't think my voice is bad."

The other guards interject, "What are you talking about, huh? Not bad? Your voice is so bad that it's even worse than a crow's voice!"

"Bhahahaha... Hey, jin! Aren't you too shameless? Don't try to sing at Young Lady's ears, with that silly song of yours!"

"All of you.... Tsk, I'm serious!"

"Pfft..."

"Aah... Have you seen, Jin? Even Young Lady Dandelion laughs at you!"

Seeing them chatting with one and the other made my heart feel calm and cheerful removing a little irritation that was in it.

I think they already know that I'm sulking. So now they're trying to cheer me up.

'Hmm... Looks like Lily's decision to take them with me wasn't bad, hehe.'

Look up at the beautiful and bright blue sky.

I pray that a happy moment like this will be eternal.

That's what I was thinking at the time... If only.

....

Slash!

'Huh...?'

'... Water?'

I raised my hand, then rubbed it against my right cheek. In my hand, I saw red.

... It was blood.

Screams that my ears could not hear, echoed around me.

I turned my gaze to the surrounding area. Watched Uncle Norman and the other guard brother fight trying to protect me and fight those people in black.

All I can think of... Oh.

... I can't think of anything...

Lily... She tried to run towards me.

'Hmm...? What are you saying? I can't hear it....'

I raised my hand at Lily, trying to grab her hand.

But before I touch it...

Stab!

My helping hand stopped.

My empty mind is getting more and more empty.

I saw with my own eyes, that a sword appeared through his chest.

Then she spits out a mouthful of blood from her mouth.

From the movement of her mouth, I tried to understand reading her words.

"Y-young.... La...dy... qu..ick ... run!"

After that, I saw her body slowly fall to the ground.

From her back, I saw a sword standing still on her body.

A pool of blood appeared under Lily's body.

'Ah...'

'Lily...?'

"Li...ly?"

"Hey... Are you sleeping?"

My body was shaking.

I felt something so stifling.

'Why...?'

'Why?'

'Why?!'

"Aaahhh ....!!!"

My mind completely stopped.

....

"Hmm ... Your memory is just there, isn't it?"

Dandelion Horgan nodded softly.

Yue Mei patted both of her hands, "Yeah, you think after that, you fell unconscious with quite serious injuries plus your body was poisoned."

Dandelion Horgan fell silent in return.

"You think the one who saved you and brought you back to Horgan's house was the superior of your brother, General Oshea? That's what you remember?"

Long story short, when Dandelion thought that she was drowning in darkness and thought that it was the end of her.

But when she opened her eyes again, what she saw was the white room that she was familiar with, namely her bedroom in Horgan's House.

The first people she met were none other than Grandpa Marvin, the head of the butlers at Horgan's House, and Doctor Elmore, the head of the Doctor Association in the Aswald City.

Since she was brought back to Horgan's House, Grandpa Marvin has not set foot out of Dandelion Horgan's room and continues to accompany her along with Doctor Elmore.

Although his face from the outside looked firm and calm, at that moment Yue Mei could see it clearly from Dandelion Horgan's faint memory.

The man was known by Dandelion Horgan since childhood who has patience and the ability to remain calm in any stressful situation.

For the first time showing the proper attitude of an ordinary old grandfather who saw his grandchild hurt, Grandpa Marvin looked very worried and nervous.

Although Yue Mei was unable to use the [Eyes of Destiny] skill, from her accumulated experience until this time, she could judge by her instincts, that the feeling released by Grandpa Marvin was pure and real.

From the information that Dandelion Horgan got when she just woke up after being unconscious for two or three days.

She was discovered by General Oshea and his subordinates as they passed through the area where she was located.

There, Dandelion Horgan was found lying in the middle of a pile of corpses, both from the servants and guards of Horgan's House and the attacker who had been checked was none other than the Death Guard.

None of them were breathing, only Dandelion Horgan herself was miraculously found to still have a weak breath.

Although it was the only explanation that can be uttered by General Oshea.

When Grandpa Marvin and Doctor Elmore heard it, they felt doubtful, if that was true then who had killed the assailants? Why did they only let Dandelion Horgan survive after she was in critical condition? If they really want to help, why don't they bring Dandelion Horgan back to Horgan's House?

There were many doubts about what had happened, plus they still didn't have a clue about who sent the Death guards.

So they concluded that the one who ultimately really saved and delivered Young Lady Dandelion as soon as possible to Horgan's House was none other than General Oshea and his subordinates.

As for General Oshea himself, he did not know what to say. Because he also has neither evidence nor an exact explanation of what happened to Dandelion Horgan.

So all he can do was close his mouth and let speculation spread in Grandpa Marvin and Doctor Elmore.

Yue Mei smiled softly, she shook her head, "What Doctor Almore said is not entirely true."

Little Snow: Spirit Beast!

Dandelion Horgan:...?

Lazy Grave Keeper: Oh?

Yue Mei nodded, "Yes, as expected of Little Snow, you guessed it correctly and your smell remained as sharp as ever."

Dandelion Horgan shook her head:... I don't have a Spirit Beast contract.

Lazy Grave Keeper: A wild Spirit Beast?

Yue Mei dodged, "No, you have it."

Dandelion Horgan:...?

Yue Mei explained slowly, "The Horgan family has a unique Bloodline right?"

Dandelion Horgan:...

Yue Mei continued, "The entire descendants of Horgan have voice-related abilities. It's because the blood of the Spirit Beast flows inside you."

Lazy Grave Keeper: Hoo...

Little Snow: Kyuu.

Dandelion Horgan:... Our ancestors were believed to have contracted a powerful Royal Spirit Beast from the Spirit Kingdom.

Yue Mei shook her head, "Not only contracted but also married."

Lazy Grave Keeper: What the...?! Interracial marriage? So extreme?

Little Snow: Is that weird? Little Snow's aunt is married to someone of the pixie race from the Eos Universe, it's not strange!

Lazy Grave Keeper: Hmm... Have I been stuck in the Star Tomb for too long? Oh no, isn't my boss also chasing a female Spirit Beast? Hmm... Okay, I don't think it's weird.

Yue Mei,"...."

Dandelion Horgan:...

'Hmm... I think I heard something very extraordinary. Ah no, wait a minute, I found out by accident, am I going to be annihilated to shut my mouth? I think I should be on my guard.' Yue Mei thought to herself.
