Sliding the glass door aside Vilian walked out to the patio, waiting for the receiver to answer the call, but there was no sign of Mia picking up her phone but she tried once more. After the third ring, the call got connected.
[ "Hello?" ]
"Hey, Mia! It's me."
[ "Vili?" ]
"Yes, It is I," answered Vilian.
[ "What's with the new number? Did you in any case change your contact number? I've been trying to reach you for god knows how long!"] Mia kept bragging for a long time scolding Vilian.
"Mia, Mi-" Vilian tried to speak but looks like her dear friend had no idea of stopping it anytime soon.
[ "Where are you? I went to your house in search of you only to return home in your absence." ]
"Mia... Mi- MIA LISTEN!" she sternly shouted not able to stop her.
[ "What?" ] She heard her lazy voice from the other side.
"I guess, I left my phone in my house."
[ "Okay..." ]
"And... I'm at Astrel's Mansion," she said, hesitatingly waiting for her friend's outburst.
[ "Oh... wait, WHAT THE HECK!!!" ] Mia screamed once the words sunk in her brain correctly.
"Damn! Mia!. Do you have to scream like a maniac? Ow... My poor eardrums," said Vilian rubbing her ears that were ringing from her screams.
["Come up again... Come up again. Did you just mention to me you're in that Ice Prince's Mansion? No, right? My ears are playing tricks, lately,"] said, Mia not believing what she just heard.
"Nope. You heard it right," she said nonchalantly.
["What do you mean? Ho- Whe- No, what's happening? You better spit it out already. Not a single word should be left out." ]
"Okay, okay... Calm down. Jeez, girl!"
["Vili, are you for real? I mean are you in The Blue Mansion?"] she could hear her excited voice over the phone.
"Blue Mansion?"
["Yeah is that?"]
"What do you mean, 'Blue Mansion'?"
["Girl... Haven't you heard of the Blue Mansion? Are you in the same world as I am or elsewhere?"] Mia questioned.
"I do, I do, but does it have to with the place where I am?"
["Uhh... You silly girl. The Blue Mansion belongs to that damn Ice Prince. That freaking mansion is worth millions and billions. Apart from all, not everyone is allowed to enter or take a peek at it. Even, me, being a part of his related cousin. I've only heard of it and also got some secret pics of it from Ash..."] said Mia, the latter in a loud whisper.
"What's the big deal with this so-called ASTREL and his unseen BLUE MANSION?" asked Vilian, irritatingly hearing about him continuously from whoever she spoke to.
["Girl... I've got no big information about it but I'm sure it's the best mansion I'll see if I ever get to see it. Why don't you confirm it? I'll send you the pics of it or... Wait, I'll take you on a video call."]
"Look Mia, This is-"
[" 'This isn't your phone. You don't have your phone right now,' Wasn't that what you were gonna say?" asked Mia interrupting her line and Vilian hummed with a nod as if she was in front of her,
["So... What? It's not like you're gonna steal some information from that phone or click your pics. We are just gonna a take video call."] said Mia, coolly.
"No... I just wanted to let you know that I'm here and I won't be able to get my phone till I reach home. I have no idea what this devil has got in his mind, bringing me here when I was not in my conscious state.
["Conscious state? What do you mean? Vilian are you alright? What's going on?"]
Sighing out Vilian spoke, "Listen, Mia, there's not much time for me to explain to you now. I'll let you know everything once I return. I myself am confused. Just make sure Lily knows that I'm safe and sound, but don't let her know I'm here. I'll be there as soon as possible," she said everything that she could quickly when she heard some faint voices out of the room, but she didn't know why was she doing it for she wasn't imprisoned here to fear, right?
["Vilian, you very well know that you're making me worried about you-"]
"I gotta hang up. See you soon, love. Bye." Vilian ended the phone call immediately, not waiting for Mia's response.

Knock! Knock!

"Come in," said Vilian walking into the room from the patio, and in came three maids. One of them was Ella whom she recognized well, and the other maid who came earlier the morning to help Vilian with her bath, but she didn't know the other maid who was standing behind Ella, taking glances at her. Vilian gave her a smile which made the maid stare at her. Except for Myra, the maid who was standing awestruck by Vilian's cute smile, the other two greeted Vilian. Ella leaned behind and stumped over Myra's foot, bringing her back to her senses, she yelped a bit.
"Back to Earth, Myra," whispered Ella and gave a fake smile to Myra. Myra immediately greeted but not before asking for an apology. Ella was the one to speak,
"We are here to clean the table, Mi'lady," she said, bowing her head. Vilian nodded her head and gave them the place to do their work.
"Umm... Ella?"
"Yes, Mi'lady?"
"By any chance, do you happen to know where Mr. Falcon might be?"
"We met him at the staircases, Mi'lady. He probably might be at the kitchen or might be accompanying Master," said Myra. She was the youngest maid working in the mansion who would always be child-like but hyperactive when it comes to working.
"Oh..." was what Vilian could say.
"Would you want any of us to lead you the way, Mi'lady?" she asked. Her eyes were sparkling with excitement to know the doll-like guest.
"That would be grateful if you but you may carry on your work. Thank you so much for asking and letting me know," said Vilian and turned to leave, but Myra said,
"You can ask me for help in the future if you ever need it, Mi'lady," Vilian nodded her head with a smile and left the room.
Not soon, Myra praised Vilian, "Aweee... Is she a fairy descended from heaven?" she exclaimed, "She's so beautiful, isn't she?" Asked Myra dreamily.
"Yeah an Angel who'll not save you from Master's wrath," said Ella picking up the empty dishes, and placing them on the food trolley. Myra rolled her eyes and went to close the patio's door.
Allowing the maids to proceed with their work Vilian stepped out of the room in search of the butler. She had to return his phone. Walking forward she was awestruck by the interior designs of the hallways which weren't lit yet but were still mesmerizing. There were beautiful tapestries and painting frames hung on the wall.
Candle bars and torches were above the frames but weren't much visible due to the lack of light. The hallways were neither dark nor light. Walking above the carpeted floor, she admired the beautiful paintings one by one. They weren't portraits that were usually hung like in any other mansions. Why were there candles and torches instead of bulbs, thought Vilian. Not to say the paintings, were dark academic sceneries with a hint of nature's choreography.
