Alice turned and saw a man smiling with a small blush on his cheek.
"Hello, lady Alice, do you remember me?"
"E-Ezequiel… correct?"
"Exactly! My lady, I have been waiting for you?"
"Why!?" Though Alice.
"Ye-yes, do you need something?" Asked Alice while trying her hardest to not bluff her cover.
"Miss Alice, I have been captivated by your beauty, might I have the honor…. to escort you in your trip?" Asked Ezequiel.
"Pffffft!" Dionysius, who was at Alice side, couldn't help and laugh hard
Alice/Alfonso's eyes twitched hard, while his perfect smile was almost distorted.
"Brother, you are being to direct!"
A sound came from the wagon and a lady with beautiful short hair appeared.
"Hello, Lady Alice, I am sorry for my brother's stupidity" Said the girl.
"You are… Katherie Vladier" Said Alice.
"I am honored that you remember me" Said Katherine while bowing.
Katherine walked towards Alice and grabbed her by the hand.
"Miss Alice, my brother couldn't forget you since we left the plaza, so we waited for you in your hotel, I hope you don't take offense"
"I-I don't mind"
"Excellent! So, where are you going?"
"I- we- were about to go for a walk"
"Then… Would you mind if we come along?" Said Katherine.
"I-That's…" Alice was a bit flustered about this whole situation.
Dionysius, who was laughing too hard, finally came to his sense and grabbed the sleeve Katherine.
"Miss, you are being too forceful, my sister won't be able to answer you if you don't let her talk"
"You are?"
"My name is Dio- Dino! I am Alice's brother! Please to meet you, beautiful sister!" Said Dionysius with a big smile
"Beautiful sister…" Katherine blushed a bit at Dionysius's smile.
"A-Anyway, how about it Alice?" Said Katherine.
"I-"
"I remember that you have poor health yes? Is not good for you if you keep walking like that, let's go in the carriage" Said Katherine.
Alice couldn't find a good excuse to not allow them to go with them, so she just had to unwillingly follow along with the Vladier brother and sister.
In the carriage, Alice sat beside Dino and Ezequiel with Katherine.
"Listen, big brother, my sister is not an easy prey, she is beautiful as well as intelligent, so you will have to do a lot of merits to catch her eyes~" Said Dino.
"I knew it!" Said Ezequiel.
Alice's mouth twitched and she looked at Dino who was smiling with a mischievous smile.
"This brat, I will beat him when we get back in the hotel" Thought Alice.
"Alice, where are you from?" Asked Katherine.
"Just an unknown family" Answered Alice with a smile.
She had practiced this answer for a long time, it will be suspicious if she answered like this, obviously, but it will be even more suspicious if she just made up a lie and have people investigating her, she might as well don't say anything and have people investigating and arrived to nothing that having them arrive to the true.
"I see…" Said Katherine.
"This Alice is just as mysterious as always, there is a need to investigate her" Though Katherine.
"Dino… right?"
"Yes? Pretty sister~"
"Cute~" Though Katherine.
"Your sister is as you said, one of the most beautiful women I ever meet, she must have a lot of suitors after her"
"Hahaha… yes…hahaha…. Yes, she has… hahaha" Dionysius couldn't help but laugh a bit after seeing the face of Alice who seemed about to explode from anger.
"What do you think about my brother, we, the Vladiers are one of the most powerful families in Lavier and we even have some face in the capital, we are tied to the Fledier family!" Said Katherine with confidence.
"Mmm~ just the Flediers?" Said Dino with disappointment.
Ezequiel and Katherine didn't fail to notice this and were stunned.
"Such… such a thing… is it possible!? The Fladier family is one of the 10 more powerful families in the capital, the son of war is current head! And he just said 'just The Flediers!?' what is their background!?" Though Ezequiel.
"This Alice…" Though Katherine.
"Dino, be quiet" Said Alice.
"I am sorry, sis"
"Mister Ezequiel, Miss Katherine, my brother is a bit of a mischievous child and didn't mean to offend you, I hope you will accept my apologies" Said Alice with a bow.
"No, miss Alice, please…"
"Alice you don't need to bow! We are sorry that we asked something we shouldn't have" Said Ezequiel.
"An-anyway, miss Alice, we should be arriving at the plaza soon" Said Katherine.
*BAM*!
Just as Katherine spoke, the carriage suddenly stopped making everyone trebled inside.
"Wha-what is going on!?" Asked Dino.
"This presence…" Though Alice.
"Hey! Ezequiel!" A woman's voice could be heard from outside.
"Shit…" Though Ezequiel.
Katherine felt annoyed as she got out of the carriage.
"Sis Radiel…" Said Katherine.
In front of her, a woman was standing.
She was tall and had blond hair, she had beautiful yellow eyes and a green dress.
"Katherine, I heard that your brother is having an affair with another woman" Said Radiel.
"Affair…" Said Katherine.
"Where is Ezequiel?" Asked Radiel.
"I am here" Said Ezequiel as he got out of the carriage.
"Ezequiel, I hope that you didn't forget that we have an engagement" Said Radiel.
"I didn't"
"Then, why do my subordinates came running telling me that you have a little princess with you?" Asked Radiel.
"Radiel, both of us know that you don't actually love me, do you?"
"Who told you that?"
"Eh?"
"I like you since we were children, I thought that you feel the same"
"But!"
Radiel walked towards the carriage and opened the door. She looked at Alice who was still a bit surprise.
"But you replace me with this girl?" Asked Radiel.
She looked at the chest of Alice and smiled.
"It's a joke right?"
"Radiel, you…" Said Ezequiel.
"You, what's your name?" Asked Radiel.
"I am Alice… there seems to be a kind of a misunderstanding here…" Said Alice.
"What misunderstanding? You thieving cat!" Said Radiel.
"HAHAHAHAHA" Dionysius fell to the floor while grabbing his stomach.
"I CAN'T… I CAN'T… HAHAHA!"
Alice's face twitched like it had never before.
