Chapter 3: Lapiz Lazuli
Haejun was sitting on the bed while half of her body was covered with the blanket the room was really bright with the sunlight entering the room her body was covered with a scarf since she was wearing thin clothes, next to her was the butler sitting on a chair with a small table next to him there were broken glass and plate in the floor
"so what's my name"
she asked the butler who was waiting for the next question, he smiled and looked her in the eyes
"lapiz lazuli"
he said with a very smooth voice, lapiz was surprised to hear that her name is a gem
"What?"
She asked him while shrugging, the butler was showing a proud face which made it hard for her to ask questions
'i can't believe this body's parents gave her a name of a gem'
she thought to herself while making a very awkward face
"anyway what about you"
she asked the butler while glancing at him, he stood up and bowed 90° again
"my name is Sebastian Bernard"
he closed his eyes and waited for the lady to speak again
"alright Sebastian, stand up, i have some questions to ask you"
he stood up straight and waited for lapiz to ask a question again
"So what was that blue string, why did you tell me to cut it, what happened to my old body?"
She asked these three questions at a very fast speed while doing her best to sit down since she kept losing balance over her body
"my lady as you have guessed i know every single answer of these question but if you need to understand what's going on we need to go back a few years back"
lapiz nodded, Sebastian sat down again and began the story of 300 years ago
"When the first emperor sat on the throne after defeating the tyrant, he allowed people who had the power to serve him one of those family is the lazuli at first our household was called novus, we provided the small empire with gems and beauty, later our family took control of the west, in there we found a big lapis mine. It became our source of money we created many gems using lapiz lazuli and finally was given the name lazuli, later blue became our empire's color, our family was born with deep blue hair which represented lapiz we raised from ranks to ranks and finally after 50 years we were given the title the duchy of lazuli"
Sebastian cleared his throat while lapiz focused on the story more
"But something happened to our family, a curse was born. People in our family started having dark blue eyes, when they saw something blue like the color of lapiz they would go crazy, but of course no one other than the duchy of Alodia and the imperial family knew about this. The alodia's created a tower and ordered the temple's saintess to create a shield which would not allow anyone from inside or outside enter, the lazuli who were cursed were kept inside the tower forever they would receive food through magic and their grave also belonged in that terrible tower"
Sebastien looked at lapiz to know if she was sleeping or not but to his surprise lapiz was still listening with a very interested face, she was waiting to ask a question he allowed her to do so, she continued
"so magic exist in this place"
she asked him, who nodded his head
"yes, even my lady has mana inside you"
lapiz eyes sparkled to know more about the history he smirked and continued
"after using this method for almost 100 years the lazuli and alodia discovered a secret, it was that the alodia could cure this curse of course through physical touch like kissing and spent a night"
lapiz blushed a little and coughed, the butler laughed sightly and again continued
"but this was impossible to do since this was since only boys were born with the curse and to make it worse only boys in alodia could use the power, because of these the cursed one's ended their lives in the tower, but when your father marquess Alfonse fell in love with the saintess from holy land and married her you were born as the first girl to inherit the curse"
lapiz twitched hew eyes she looked at Sebastian and started talking
"the curse, what is it"
she asked him who was silent, the butler sighed he looked at the lady and continued
"the curse should wait, i shall tell my lady about it after telling you about everything"
lapiz tried to grab Sebastian but failed since her body was not listening to her
"w-what the hell"
she mourned while doing her best to sit again, Sebastian stood up and helped her lay on the bed
"my lady when you were born some people were against it"
lapiz again looked at Sebastian, who had a sad expression she let him continue without telling her about the curse although lapiz was dissatisfied
"they tried to get rid of you by putting our mansion on fire, the marquesses was blocked in this fire and because of this she separated-"
he stopped suddenly but lapiz didn't ask anything, she just slept as she could notice that Sebastian was uncomfortable
"i am going to sleep so scram"
she said with a cold voice Sebastien smiled and left the room, lapiz looked around her room while lying around on the bed
'so big'
she thought to herself as she was never in such a big place
'lapiz lazuli huh'
she closed her eyes and went to sleep
"lapiz"
"why don't we call her that"
'huh who's that'
"you really know your way around names huh"
"i mean look at her isn't she is so beautiful"
'who'
"uwahh"
'uwaah?'
"Oh my, don't cry, little lapiz"
