Chapter 4: Dressed as a boy
In a another sunny day, the mansion was bustling with people who were all busy in their own work.
And I was walking in the hallway wearing a white shirt tucked under my gray pants. With a cap to hide my hair and a bag filled with my necessities hanging on my shoulder, I looked nothing like a novel lady but rather a lad of a village.
In the middle of the open hallway, where the sunlight was making the half white marble floor shine with radiant glow while the other were covered by the shadow of the roof, I was taking big steps, apparently bigger than a lady takes.
As I was walking in the middle of the hallway with my half body in light and half in shadow with big flickering smile that was coming with the greetings of the workers and then disappearing the other moment, I fixed my cap while gazing far with a big smile.
Lila was following me behind. She was wearing a red radiant dress with long sleeves and with some of my jewelry, she looked like a dancer from a foreign country.
I looked back at her with a full 32 teeth showing smile "so you want to be my sister or my girlfriend"
Lila was walking hurriedly behind to keep up with my speed while trying to secure her hair locks which were flying in the air. She said while holding her hair with both arms "sister is fine my lady"
I flew close to her while warping my arms around her waist and pulling her closer. Teasing grin. Mimicking a man's tone "why don't you want to be my girlfriend My lady"
I said while shacking my head slowly "ha ha don't tell me that you are afraid that you boyfriend is so handsome that he will two time you"
Lila was staring at me with stoic face, almost like a mocking face.
Runs the fingers on the side of the ear like a man do "don't worry my lady, although I am lady killer"
"But the only girl I have killed willingly is you my lady"
"Humph! The rest die by their own"
Lila still has that stoic expression on her face. While the Servants who were gardening showers me with loud claps for my acting.
I let go of her and stand back "you are becoming difficult to please my lady" I said while pulling a dramatic grin on my face, but Lila was still unfazed.
Lastly my spirit gave up and i clapped my both hand in pray mode "man! Now what kind of man I have to find to please you"
"Looking at your attitude, I doubt any man would get close to you" I shrugged while shacking my head slowly
Lila gave me a smile at last but also shook her head, like she was mocking me that I am so dramatic
My eyes got teary, pulled my bottom lip up "you are so cruel Lila"
I don't know why but sometimes Lila gives off the feeling of maturity, sometimes I find my acts childish in front of her gracefulness and elegance, but nevertheless I like messing up with her.
I put my one hand on the top of my head, securing my cap and hair while I held Lila's wrist with the other hand as I started to run in the middle of the hallway.
The people who were working in the garden and others were giggling looking at us, while Lila was continuously telling me how I will fall if I run like that but I continued to run till we get out of the mansion and took a carriage.
INSIDE THE MANSION
Selina's mom standing in her room and saw a salina sleeping in the bed while covering herself till the head...
She walks slowly towards her with worried eyes "honey are you not feeling well"
As she uncovers the Blanket and saw some pillow arranged so well that it was giving off the expression of a human under the blanket
"SALINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" the birds sitting on the mansion flew away.
IN THE STUDY ROOM OF FELIX
He was writing some documents as he heard the loud sound echoing in the mansion. A small smile appears on his face "she never learns, I hope she didn't forget to take enough money this time"
