Chapter 7：RLT (7)

The next day, a distressed maid ran around the mansion looking for Pakura and Creed. As she caught sight of them, she stopped running and did her best to control her panting. Once her breathing was controlled, she walked up to them.

"My King, Queen. There is something you must know." She said, with a hint of worry in her voice.

Pakura turns her attention towards the maid, "What is it?"

"It's about the heiress."

Creed turns towards her with a demanding look, "Well, speak!"

"She has fallen into an emotional episode. We are unaware of how this came to be. Yuuki did say she encountered Sasuko last night while she was cleaning the basement. She also said that Sasuko's eyes were red as if she has been crying for a while." The maid said.

"But...who would make her feel that way?? Who was she with yesterday?" Pakura asked.

"She was with Prince Andrew. She insisted on going to the beach alone with him. She did not want a bodyguard to company them two."

"He probably said something wrong then. Or brought up a hard subject." Creed said. "Who is with her right now?"

"Her personal bodyguards, Sasha and Yona." The maid answered.

"Alright, Zoe, thanks for informing us." Pakura said, looking away.

Zoe then bows before walking away. Returning to where Sasuko is currently at, she approaches Sasha.

"I already informed them."

"Good. Now, we must make sure she stays active as possible. And that Yui isn't around her right now. You know what? Send Yui to her father." Sasha said.

"Right away." Zoe then walks away and does as she was told.

Sasha sighs small as she closes the door of the room. Looking towards Sasuko who was still laying on bed, she then sits on the edge of the bed. Yona was sitting on a chair that was placed next to the bed.

"She'll be fine, Sasha. Relax!! You look really stressed you know!" Yona said with a smile.

"Maybe because i am stressed! This is my first time seeing our master like this!" Sasha exclaimed.

"I know. Same here. Just, relax. That way we won't stress our master even more."

Sasha sighs small, and nodes as she does her best to calm down. Yona gives Sasha a reassuring smile before looking towards the window.

Some time later, Sasha somehow convinced her master to take a small walk within the garden. Quietly and distant minded, Sasuko stopped walking once she reached her favorite part of the garden. By now, Yui was already with her father.

Zoe walks up to Sasha who was with Sasuko. "Yui is safely with her father now."

"That's good. Did you tell him what is currently happening?" Sasha asked.

"Yes I did for he asked."

"Alright, that's fine. Go see if there is any prepared food. If so, serve some for Sasuko. I'll take her to the dining room."

"Of course." With a small node and a bow, Zoe walked into the mansion towards the kitchen.

Sasha walks up to Sasuko with a warm smile. "Come. Let's go to the dining room so you can eat your brunch."

Without giving a reply or a node, Sasuko unwilling obeys and follows her bodyguard back into the mansion. As they both entered the dining room, Zoe has just placed a bowl of soup on the table.

Giving Sasuko a warm smile, she speaks calmly. "Well, they had miso soup prepared. I thought you'd like that."

Sasuko nodes small as she sits on one of the chairs and slowly started eating. Walking out the dining room, Sasha looks at Zoe.

"So, is he coming over today as he said he would?" Sasha asked.

"Well, I am not sure. Let's not keep our hopes high." Zoe answered.

"Yeah."

--hours later--

"We are glad to have you here, Mr. Namakazi." Pakura said to a white/light green headed male.

"Of course you did."

"Now, let's talk about your daughter."
