Capítulo 22: Gronolas

"Words not said clearly can cause confusion, isn't that right sir Wenn? You said something like this but you have forgotten that we have those who can retrieve memories and display them for all to see. How about the past three and a half hours? We can have it displayed at a three times speed so it will be quick enough. The culprit will be found."

My eldest brother said, he made a gesture and a male with his face covered in grey and red appeared, followed by a few gestures of his hands; displayed an image.

I gave it my full attention wishing I had something to munch on, so I can watch in a more relaxed manner.

This guy seems to be quite powerful too, because he could grab the memory from so far away and play it.

Ay, scaaaarrry!

Total invasion of privacy but eh, this sir Wenn asked for it.

Look how red his face is, ay, and his daughter, she seems quite dumbfounded.

Ahaha, it seems that I will be entertained!

"Blu, I have learned to make some small granola bars, here have this, the rest of your present will be delivered later. I have some more at my home you can also stop by whenever you wish."

A plate with small bars filled with nuts, oats, cranberries and raisins appeared.

Suspiciously I looked at the bane of my existence before my attention was drawn by the memory being played.

Snatching up a handful of the small bars I munched on one almost closing my eyes in pleasure at the taste but focused on the memory.

'Hello? Laveria? Second miss?'

'Shut up you fool, why are you calling my name?'

The girl bowed her head timidly, tugging on her dress. The room seemed to be the side room downstairs in the middle, the cream coloured decor was unique to that room personally designed by second sister. It was not large, able to hold a few meter tall vases filled with rare yellow flowers imported from the fourth kingdom, a half-circle oversized couch, a three-seater and two single seaters complete with a low long table.

I have never been in that room or in most of the rooms downstairs for that matter simply because my siblings had said they were filthy and are suited for unimportant guests.

Now while the image is being played out in front of me between three girls and two boys I understood.

They are fifteen why would they even attempt to do something to such a timid-- oh.

Oh, oh, (x10) so it's like this... Hmm… how interesting.

"Blu, do you see this?"

"En,"

"You truly are worth being my future wife, you are so smart," my left eye twitched.

The memory progressed and then lo and behold! One of my servant pets appeared.

To be honest, I wanted to crane my neck to the side and look at her expression but it might make me look like I actually gave an iota about this 'trick', so I kept my eyes glued on the memory.

"ENOUGH!"

I jumped on reflex, my eldest brother never once raised his voice before, he was cold, low and more erm, you know stealthy about his displeasure, but this..?

It seems to have hit his bottom line, aye this poor old lady here feels rather touched--wait!

The pretty fiancé's here, he might be doing it for her, sigh.

The memory disappeared and whispers ensued, "I can't believe that she had been selected to be a servant pet to the second lady Jah,"

"It is such a shame my daughter was devastated because of…"

"Her mother is that type of woman; the daughter will not be different."

"True,"

"You are right lady Lee, her mother was from a lower class family."

"The Jah family should blacklist them,"

"They should,"

"The fifteenth birthdate of the second born daughter and they…"

"Such a shame, it would be a stain, her…"

"Blu, do not listen to them, this-"

"Come, give me my present."

I commanded cutting him off, and walking away, "You three stay, you will accompany my sister at a later date."

Third brother commanded, I neither paused nor looked back.

Birdie can be called a once-upon-a-time boot licker, I thought she would have been a worthy seedling to raise but now… I think I will just let her be without being biased--negatively or positively.

Let her efforts prove her worth.

Walking down the end of the hall I turned left, my bane silently following, then I stood still allowing my body to be scanned and entered the elevator, beckoning him to enter after adding plus one and his gender.

The elevator, inside the elevator, moved smoothly at a rapid pace, in a few moments it opened directly to my rooms.

My sleeping area was located in the middle, the room did not change much since it had been redecorated five years ago, unlike the separate courtyard where I have moved to, this place is simply decorated.

First young master of the Leng family:

Leng Demarco Li,

From the scent within the room, Li knew that she spent little time within it. He smirked feeling somewhat disappointed but still a little excited. Unlike most girls her age, Jah Di'ordi is not the coquettish type, seeking favours by pleasing those who ranked above her. Instead, his little Blu sat alone as if the world itself would sulky her celestial like form, she leaned lazily staring at the red blossom tree, aloofly.

"Give me my gift,"

Li chuckled at this, reaching into his storage band to withdraw her gift.

Holding it in his hands, Li presented it to her watching the fluctuation of emotions within her eyes and face.

Absentmindedly he reached out and caressed her face, relishing the softness and inhaling her red blossom scent.

It was subtle not overly so with a hint of sweetness unique only to those trees.

"I had personally dried the leaves and made them into a few bath balls. This is also the salts with the scent of the red blossoms, cream and hair oil. I also made sure to make it specifically for your type of hair. These should last you six months, during that time I will make a few more… "

Li reached into his storage band once more and pulled out a medium sized box and placed it next to her feet before standing to his full height once more and continuing.

"... The gronolas if you store them within your wristband they should last a month."

Looking down at her still form he could not help but reach out and snatch her close to him. It had been so long without touching her, a total of ten days, three hours, forty-six minutes and twenty seconds and counting. Li had to hold her.
