Chapter 18: Out of myself

Sorcha looked at the thing Marion gave her. It was a bottle filled with green-like paste that seems to be an ointment for treating scars.

"You don't have to give me this." Sorcha said.

"Take it." Marion declared coldly, still on a bad mood then turned to leave, not even bothering to wait for a thank you.

Curious glances swept from Sorcha to Marion then from Marion to Sorcha.

"He came just to give you that?" Ryan said confused.

"I don't know." Sorcha answered.

"We're you two close?" Luke asked bewildered.

"No we're not. We just happened to bump into each other yesterday and he saw that I was hurt a bit." Sorcha explained.

Ryan just looked at her still feeling confused and said to himself, 'I must be insane to think that he's interested in her' he shook his head inwardly to remove that thought.

On the other hand, as if figuring something out, a light ignited at Luke's head, "Oh! so that's why." He said seriously but his gaze contained some hidden meaning.

"Yes. It was really just like that." Sorcha said to make it clear, noticing the gaze Luke gave her.

"Yeah it's just like that." Luke answered then whistled to the sky as if he didn't know anything.

Sorcha puffed her cheeks feeling wronged about Luke's actions then said, "I'm leaving." She glared then turned around and left.

Luke suddenly let out the laugh he'd been trying to suppress.

"What's wrong?" Rica asked.

"Pfft~ nothing." Then just continued to laugh.

Rica gave him a dissatisfied look and said, "Is it just me, or you guys also think that Sorcha was cute when she puffed up her cheeks?"

"She is." Edmund said shyly.

'I think so as well.' Ryan also answered in his heart.

Then they left one by one, confused with their own thoughts.

~~

Remembering how Sorcha treated the others compared to how she treated him with coldness, Marion felt mad inside.

'How could she get close to them, and not to me?' He grumbled to himself, then suddenly shaked his head heavily. 'What's going on with me? I've been out of myself lately.'

After that, he turned his car's engine and drove.

~~

"Mom, I'm home!" Sorcha shouted after not seeing her at the garden nor at the living room.

Aria took a peek at her from the kitchen then shouted back, "Dear, come down early later ah! I'm cooking dinner."

"Okay mom!" Sorcha answered then walked towards her room.

'Hmph! That Luke! I really should give that kid a lesson!' She fumed.

'And what's up with his older brother, actually giving me this?'

She took out the ointment he gave her.

'It looks expensive huh, it would be a waste to just throw it.'

She opened the bottle then applied some to her hand. 'Although I don't really care about having a scar, it would be better if this is effective.' she said.

After that, she jumped onto her bed satisfied.

"Sigh~ really comfortable ah!" She lied there, no longer thinking about what happened earlier.

It took me some time to finish this chapter haha. Just like the title, I am also out of myself :P

I'm thinking of changing the title of the story. Does anyone have recommendations?

Thanks for reading!

Chapter 19: Surprise

Friday night, at the Barrons' mansion.

"My princess, tomorrow we'll have a visitor. I asked him to teach you the basic military knowledge that are necessary for you to learn before we start your training in a few weeks. That'd be easier than you reading all those books. I'm sure you'll be shocked when you see him." Anthony said to Sorcha while eating dinner.

"Oh! What's his name dad?" Sorcha asked excitedly.

"Haha you'll know tomorrow." Anthony replied. "He's a good lad. He is my friend's son, although he didn't become a part of the military, he's still knowledgeable. I used to mentor him a bit before, but he chose to quit."

"Why's that?" Sorcha looked at her dad curiously.

"I'm not sure. Maybe he feels that the life in the military isn't for him. Because their family has a military lineage, I heard he was only forced to train. Too bad though, he is quite the talent. Anyway, that didn't matter. As long as he can teach you well, then it's fine." He answered.

"Mm." Sorcha nodded.

~~

The next morning, Sorcha woke up quite early. After fixing herself, she rushed towards her father.

"Dad! What time would 'he' come?" She asked.

"Oh excited are we?" Anthony laughed.

"Mm." She nodded.

"Haha, In just a bit. I asked him to come here around breakfast. Oh! Look he's here." He pointed at the doorway.

Sorcha dropped her jaw. "Mr. Ryan!"

Ryan laughed, "haha hello Sorcha. How's your morning?"

"You. Why didn't you tell me it's you?" Sorcha asked.

"Your father wanted to surprise you." He grinned.

She then looked at her father and pouted.

Anthony just laughed and said, "surprised?"

"Mm." Sorcha admitted. "Ah! I remembered you said that you know my dad." She glanced again at Ryan.

"Yup. He was one of my mentors before."

"Un. My father told me already. Oh, Mr. Ryan have you eaten? Come join us." She said noticing that she might have been rude.

"Okay." Ryan agreed.

When he was sitted, Anthony said, "You should teach her well. I won't be able to join you because I still have to go to work."

"I understand." He affirmed.

"Good! Then I'll leave my daughter to you now." Anthony looked at his child and added, "You should listen to your teacher well."

"I will." Sorcha said.

"Don't worry general, she's quite the diligent kid." Ryan said.

"I know! Haha, I'm leaving now." Anthony said making sorcha feel a bit embarassed by her father's unnecessary remark.

"Take care honey. I'll be waiting home." Aria said then kissed him on his cheeks.

"Yes yes. Of course. How about my daughter? Where's my kiss?"

"Dad! We have a guest!" Sorcha grumbled.

"Sigh. Our daughter now is becoming a lady. She no longer wants to kiss her father." He complained to Aria.

"Mom! Will you please stop dad!" She said.

"Pfft~" They laughed. Even Ryan couldn't help but to laugh as well.

"Now, stop teasing her and just go to your work." Aria said.

"Ay ay nobody wants me to be here anymore." He grinned then left the mansion.
