Immortal Witch: Eldest Daughter Of A Duke

It's been a week since I saw the little girl, I'm looking at her every time I wonder. I ask the sisters but they didn't know about the girl 'Rene'.

I'm being careful too day by day so Elliz cannot find me. Even in teaching class, I excuse myself to the sister saying that 'my dream is to become a gardener'. I know it sounds silly but the sisters buy it, in exchange for watering the flowers, cleaning in the yard and they give me books for reading too while they are at it.

I know that I cannot hide from Elliz forever. But I still don't want to face her at all. Like n..ow "Hey!!" There is an arrogant face talking in front of me. Behind me is a tree, in the left side two girls cornering me with a mocking smile, same in the right side, although the right side has only one person, the girl is fat so it can be count as two. And in the front is the leader, Elliz.

Elliz walks forward in front of me, but I can't move backward at all. "How's the life of being a turtle?? huh??"Elliz touch my chin and push me to look at her. "Do you think you can hide from me forever.. You coward." I got scared and close my eyes.

Elliz signal one of her lackeys and soon the two girls walk forward and touch my hair. "Lilibeth you've got a beautiful dark hair." One of the girls said. "Isn't your hair too wasteful for you?" she added.

Elliz looks at them and said, "Faster."

The two girls began pulling my hair, moving my body. "It's ..hurt" I cried.

"So it hurts? Then stop struggling and follow us.." Elliz paused, "Let them pull your hair and you just need to follow,... HURRY!!" Elliz said that while smacking my back.

Why can't I be strong? I cried silently. I follow them, when we enter inside the orphanage the two girls stop pulling my hair and they center me, the girl at my left side is one of the girls who pulls my hair, at my right side is Elliz smiling while walking, behind my bag is the big girl and the other one is in the right side of Elliz. From the way we're talking, we look like friend's who are hanging out.

I lowered my head, my long hair is in a way so I can't see what's in front of me. I just follow them.

"Lilibeth?"

The voice of the familiar voice shocks me. Not just me, the four people around me flinch too. I can't move up my head because the person in front of me will know that I cry.

"Hello sister, Lilibeth and I just hanging out with our friends we plan to make a bracelet," said Elliz while smiling.

"Y-yeah. We miss Lilibeth because she's not coming to class." The big girl added.

".. ohh.. so that's it... But Lilibeth promises me that she will accompany me in watering the plants."

Before the sister finishes her sentence, Ellize pinches my waist causing me to flinch. While my head is down, I answered the sister, "Sister... I.. I'm sorry, I miss.. them too so.." I pursed my lips. "I can't accompany you."

"But..."

"Sister doesn't worry, Lilibeth's here with us." Elliz cut the sentence of sister.," or do you not believe us?" she continued.

"Sister Adrianne" Another voice comes from behind the sister.

" Father calls you there's a visitor and wants to talk to you." Sister Adrianne looks behind to see another sister.

"okay wait a minute." Sister Adrianne turned to look back to see Elliz and other's gone.

In the orphanage comfort room, Lilibeth is crouching both her arms are protecting her head, the big girl is kicking her, while the other two began hitting her head. The leader, Elliz, is enjoying the scene while sneering, "Hah!! That Adrianne sure notices something." she picks a sharp thing and starts walking at Lilibeth. She put her left hand at her left knee, bending her body while waving the sharp thing in her right hand at Lilibeth's face.

"Do you think she can save you?" The cold glint in Elliz eyes causes the other three shivered.

"Elliz... I've never done anything bad to you." Lilibeth silently said.

"HAHAHA Not done anything at all?" Elliz laughs like a crazy person. "You know what, you didn't know?? Let me tell you.." Elliz signals her lackeys, The big girl force Lilibeth's behind to make her lay down facing the ground and the other two stretch Lilibeth's right hand upward to face Elliz.

Elliz is satisfied with the work of her lackeys. She began talking, "I heard that when I first come to this orphanage, the sisters plan to give me a name 'Elizabeth' but you came following me, because of that...they split the name between 'Elliz' and 'Lilibeth' just because we come from the same day and same age. You stole what belongs to me." When Elliz said that she began to cut the back of the hand of Lilibeth, causing the latter to whimper. The big girl uses a cloth to shut her up.

"Do you remember the play? The princess role should belong to me but you act like your a kind girl, giving the role to me and I'm not really the real princess causing me a humiliation to the class."

"Even before the play, you act like your the center of the class, you even flaunt in front of the boys to side you. You.. you s.l.u.t..."

slap slap slap

A continuous slap can be heard. Lilibeth's face is swollen and Elliz is happily panting. "Why are your father and mother a soldier and why is mine just a farmer? huh? huh?"

Lilibeth looks at a craze Elliz with her swollen face. "Elliz.. you are wrong.. that name.. I didn't want it... the play... I just.. want.. you.. to become... happy... I.." tears began to fall in Lilibeths face. 'I'm innocent, all the things that she said I didn't mean to have it..'

"Ha ha ha.. So all the things you don't want is the one I want?? HAHAHA are you saying your trash is my treasure?" Elliz laugh but that laugh is full of sorrow. "You need to die... You and I.. cannot exist in this world." Saying that she points the sharp thing in the neck of Lilibeth,

"Elliz... "

" Don't it's not what we talk about"

"No.. noo.. "

The three soon began to tremble and the big girl stops Elliz. The big girl jump on Elliz, Elliz being push yell, "DON'T TOUCH ME" Elliz struggle, point the sharp thing "IF YOU TOUCH ME, IM GONNA KILL YOU" The big girl cower and began to back down.

The three soon began to cry.

Lilibeth' face now is white. She forces herself to stand up. She wishes she can use the necklace magic, but every time she tries... it didn't give her the power to protect herself.

She plans to run but Elliz caught her hair. "Lilibeth I'm gonna ki-"

"STOOOPP" a little voice can be heard in the door of a comfort room. "SISTER ADRIANNE, DADDY THEY'RE HERE.." The little voice shout.

Elliz stops moving. Her face is pale, the sharp thing in her hand fall, she runs in the doorway to flee. She pushes the little child in the way causing the latter to bounce on the ground "ouch".

"Rene" The masculine voice of a man can be heard outside. Helping the child, "Rene, are you okay?" The man's voice is worried.

"Daddy I'm okay. The scary sister runs on that way!! Daddy, tell sister Adrianne to follow her. She's bad." Pointing at the way that Elliz run.

Lilibeth hears the ruckus outside the comfort room, she began to relax. Even if she can't see the face of the little child, she knows who she is from the voice. 'The little girl is here', 'Is she alright? Is she hurt? I hear the thump sound... did she fall down?'.

The comfort room is so noisy because of the three children crying in the ground. They said that Elliz tries to kill Lilibeth, they explain what happens in the office of the orphanage. It causes the sisters and father of the church began to gasp and terror soon reaches their heart. Lilibeth because of wounded body recuperate in few weeks. After she feels alright. She goes to the office because the father calls her.

"The truth is.. I notice the bullying." Sister Adrianne exclaimed. "I always lecture Elliz and talk to her about the importance of life. I thought everything I do have effect.. but it looks like it has the opposite effect. I'm sorry Lilibeth." Sister Adrianne said, her eyes are moist and red.

"I have faults too, Sister Adrianne talks to me about it. I ignore it because you guys are only eight years old. It happens in the past too but they all become a friend when they grow up. I thought you guys will be like that too because your young and when you grow up you will learn about your mistake. This.. happening is really an eye-opener..." The father vow to Lilibeth, he feels guilty.

As they saw the bruise in the body and the swollen face of Lilibeth, the eyes of the sisters all moisten some even began to cry, they apologize and promise that it will never happen in the orphanage again.

The orphanage punishes the three little kids that accompany Elliz, but Elliz is missing and they can't see even the shadow of it.

"Lilibeth the daughter of the Duke of Pin leave you a letter." The father picks up a letter and hands it to Lilibeth.

Lilibeth is shocked! The Duke of Pin? Isn't that the master of Orion Palace?

Sister Adrianne explained, "The name 'Rene' that you asked me is the daughter of Duke Pin. We just know it in the orphanage when the Duke of Pin introduce her."

Lilibeth now understood, so that cute little girl has a shocking background but she still saves me.. an orphan. Her eyes began to reddened as she opens the letter. She saw the messy words that are written and chuckle.

{ I, Liberaine Silvearica, eldest daughter of Duke Pin wants to invite you in my Orion Mansion to serve me. If you can't protect yourself I will protect you. Let me become your shield in exchange for your wings. Vow your loyalty to me and I will give you the happiness of life. Would you accept it? }

'Is this really her sentence' Lilibeth chuckled. 'I bet she needs Duke Pin help to create this sentence'

"Don't worry lady, from the point that you save me, I vow to protect you... of course, I accept."

That is the start of my life as a servant of the eldest daughter of Duke Pin, Liberaine Silvearica.
