" Hmm, so you're the Cheng Cheng?"
This is the oldest memory of mine with Her Grace, the Duchess of Lian County. She called my childhood name. She dared to call my childhood name even though I'm already a promising young man?!
This is insulting me, but it's fine. I'm very generous. So I'll forgive you this time. With a big smile, I said, " Your Grace, I'm already old enough to call me with that name. ". Fuhh, I can tell how dazzling I am!
" Ehhhh~? Cheng Cheng is scary! "
Su Cheng: "...." ┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ)
Calm down me! Your job now is to make sure she gets up from the bed!
" Cheng Cheng ah, it's not a good habit to force yourself to smile like that. Just do whatever you want...."
Su Cheng: "...." What did she say? What does she mean?
" Okay, I'll get up now! Your job is done, so think what you want to do for yourself! He he "
After that, she called maid to change the clothes. While, I stayed outside. Thinking about what she was saying.
" Cheng er? What are you doing here? ", Someone sat beside me.
It's my old man. Hmm? Since when did I walked here? The garden, where's the most beautiful place in Lian County. There was a pavilion at center, without I even notice sat in here.
" You're in a big thinking there. What are you thinking about? Does the Duchess didn't want to get up again? "
How long does it since I'm talking like this with my old man? So calm. Surrounded with beautiful flowers, hmm smells good! Really relaxing.
" .... No, she does get up lastly. She said that I'm forcing myself to smile, and told me what I want to do for myself. You see, after I heard that, I can't smile "
" Oh, really? " My father quite shocked heard that.
" Yes. " I nodded.
Then, he patted my head like when I'm a child. I do miss that old days.
" Actually, it's kind of mine and your mother's fault. We have a big expectation, and put all the burden on you. "
What does this all about, actually?
" Cheng er, when you wake up in morning, what is your first thought? "
".... Hmm, I want to do a great job so that you and mother proud of me. "
" That's what the Duchess talking about. Cheng er, whatever you do or done, you always make us; your parents really proud. "
Really?
" Since you're little, you really well behaved. That's good. But at the same time, it's not. We worried that you can't express yourself like other child. Unlike other parents, we both was too strict on you. As both of us is a steward, our job was to take care of our Master's wellbeing. "
" Thinking back, mother really was strict on me. But, it's for my own good. So, don't think much about it "
" That's good to hear that. When, you said like that, express yourself like that makes my heart relief. I think you should just speak out whatever your thinking. "
Su Cheng: "!!! "
I hugged my father, even I'm socked with myself.
" Thank you, father! I think I know what Her Grace talked about! "
"Oh my! Hahaha! It's good to hear that! Although Her Grace is like that, her heart is good. "
The next day.
" Your Grace, please wake up now. You have a few documents to read and sign "
" .... Hmm, Cheng Cheng, 5 more minutes please. No, 10....no, no half an hour! "
" Your Grace, you are making my work harder. Please do get up now. "
" !!! ".
She gets up at last! But, she came in front of me to stretch my cheeks?!
" .... Who are you?! Where's my cute Cheng Cheng!!! "
" Due to respect for Your Grace, please keep your paws from my handsome face. And stop calling me my childhood name. "
Xuě Lian: Σ(ಠ_ಠ) Paws?
Like a cat. That's what my old steward always whispering to himself. Does he actually talking about me? Well, I don't care! I love my life, of course I love myself too.
Purrrrrrr.....
" Ahh... What did you want again today, Ah Cheng ?", I said to him after get up from the cozy chaise. While I'm stretching and straighten my clothes, Old Cheng pouring the freshly brew tea for himself. Yup, for him. That's the hint that I should take a seat in front of him with a serious face. Which I do. Well, the serious conversation is starting. Urgh poor myself....
" My Lady, now isn't time for you being a lazy like a cat. As an old woman that even older than me; Old Cheng, you should take care of your health. Please at least walking around the palace, you see I already ask them to grow the new flowers when you told me the environment outside is too boring to walk around.... At my old age, I really shouldn't worried about this. Ahh, now I remembered when my father..."
It's not really a conversation. I'm too old to nagged like this. Even though I looked very young with, I'm already past 300 years old. Knee lengthed raven hair, with dark brown almond eyes that's the traits of Ice Queen or the Duchess of Lián. The smallest county yet strongest in the Empire of Da Ming.
Through the history of Da Ming, the background of Lian county is unshakeable but also a mystery. No one knows why the Emperors of Da Ming, generation to the generation trust their own back and keep a position in court for the Duchess. But, every subject and the people of Da Ming never disregard of the name of Lian. Just heard the word of Lian just make their teeth chattering. The power that only second to the Emperors; Duchess of Lián.
That beauty in Ice is me! That's absurd tale between people is truly nonsense. What even did I have done to them?! Although my palace is located in a county. The only habitant in this so-called county is me and my loyal servant. My palace is the only place where you can eat and sleeping peacefully here. I'm proud of my heaven-palace.
".... So, My Lady, this old one want to talk about the young miss....."
Craaaaaash!! The sound of the my shattered teacup. My brain is howling!!!
".... My Lady?"
"Hmm? Yes? Oh, yes.... Of course, you should call her young miss, young lady... Lady Baby....", I'm mumbling after the call.
Is it too late to call the soul this body owner?
Oh hoh! Yup, I'm not from this world. I thought that I'm was a time traveller at first. Because of the art of the buildings and also the ancient clothing here just like in the historical chinese drama. After a few days I'm researching and adapting myself little did I know that this world is using magics in daily life. But, other than that; nothing is different from the Earth. Just the same. When there's a light there's is a shadow.
At that time, the owner of this body just returned from a war. A big war . Maybe the injury she received from it make her soul gone from this body. Thanks to that, my new identity is Xue Lian.
Ah Cheng ' s family, the Sus had taken care of me and this county from generation to the next since that day. Of course, they knew that I'm aging very slowly. Their loyalty blood in their genes would never tell the outsiders about it. Except for the Emperors, they thought that the Duchess changes every in two or three decades.
Of course, not all the Su family members living in the Lian County. They're scattered all around the kingdom for my business. If not, how can I even sleep without care? As a good lady boss, how could I not care about my employees. We must always give and take attitude. That's what I've always told them. If there's a very big problem, just go back to Lian County to get a backup. Even the crown prince give me a big face. So, you dare not to?!
Well, that's how I got in this situation; I got a baby!!!!! Me, an old lady, whose age is older than your grandma, who is a still virgin, in both of this world and the earth; have a baby to taken care of!!
" Oooh, our cute little princess is sleeping so peacefully "
" How can an angel exist in this county?"
" Look at her pout mouth... Ahhh, so cute "
As I've arrived at the baby's bedroom with Ah Cheng , this is what happens in the room. Hello, girls how can you disturb the baby when she's sleeping? So, I cought a little. Shocked seeing Ah Cheng and me. They run like a deer after a greeting.
It's been a very long time since I've taken care a little dumpling. I'm scared hurting that cutie pies when I'm holding her. But, that's my responsibility now. I can't shirk it even though I want to. Promise is a promise.
The baby is named Bai Li. Her mother is a Su, that's how we're connected. This poor baby already didn't have parents at early age. That's how the world is. Even though you're kind to others, doesn't make others to reciprocate to the kindness you gave. That why you must have heart and brain to be alive.
Usually, the orphan has taken elsewhere that more suitable environment for them. But this cutie has a very poor health. So, I have to take care of her and also since I already promised to her mother.
"Ermmmm hmmmm... Poooohhh", Li er open her big grape eyes. " It seems that our young mistress has woken up ", Ah Cheng 's eyes is beam with doting expression. Seemingly, she didn't recognize the full of luxury yet delicate decorations in the room and felt more uncomfortable when she didn't saw her mother. So she cried very loudly.
" Goo goo ga hu hu huwarghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!"
" Oh my, now My Lady, this is your job to console her until I call Nanny Liu " then, he's gone in a blink of eye.
" ......"
" Hwarghhhhhh hwarghhhhhh "
" Ahh, okay....now good girl please don't cry. You will your throat if you keep crying like that....." Now, I want to cry too! ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ
I took a breath and start to sing.... Musics never failed!
"Unleashed the ropes, see the inner heart,
For whom am I hurting myself?
With this little hand I want to protect and with strongly upon a falling star.
Thousands of twinkling stars in the night sky.
I pray that they someday will come to you.
Along with this song is the seed of smile.
I pray that someday you'll make the flowers bloom.
I send my song into the night sky, with a little magic.
I don't want to be alone in sadness forever.
I look up at the starry night and make a wish that someday a bright smile will be drawn.
I look up at the starry night and make a wish that someday a bright smile will be drawn. "
Please grow well my little princess.
The song in here is from an anime; Special A
