章節 2: Chapter 2 : Suddenly

Eleanor gazes at her daughter with a mixture of affection and concern, "Rosaline, I understand that the curiosity has been eating away at you. What would you like to know?"

Rosaline, "I want to understand why you've chosen to keep his identity a secret. I deserve to know the truth, Mother. I can't bear the weight of this mystery any longer."

Eleanor sighs softly, her eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and regret," My love, it wasn't an easy decision to make. Your father came from a world vastly different from ours—a world of privilege and power. I was afraid of the repercussions, the dangers it might bring upon you."

Rosaline," But Mother, don't I have the right to know where I come from? Don't I deserve to understand my own heritage? Keeping this secret from me feels like denying a part of who I am."

Eleanor reaches out and gently clasps Rosaline's hands ," Of course, my dear, I understand your yearning for answers. It's just that the world your father belongs to can be treacherous .His actions and decisions have placed him at odds with powerful figures, and I feared that knowledge of your connection to him could put you in harm's way."

Rosaline pauses, her eyes filled with a mix of determination and longing ," Mother, I am not afraid. I want to uncover the truth, not just for myself, but for the sake of understanding my own identity. I want to face the challenges that come with it and make my own choices."

Eleanor tears well up in her eyes as she gazes at her daughter, a mix of pride and worry evident on her face ,"Rosaline, you've always possessed a fierce spirit, much like your father. If you truly believe you're ready to face the unknown, then I won't stand in your way. But promise me, promise me you'll be cautious and seek the truth with an open heart."

Rosaline grasps her mother's hands firmly, a determined spark in her eyes," I promise, Mother. I will tread carefully and navigate the challenges that lie ahead. With your love and support, I believe I can uncover the truth and embrace my own identity."

Rosaline was sitting with her mother, Eleanor, on the deck of the pirate ship, their conversation was suddenly interrupted by the sound of cannons and chaos in the distance "Mother, stay put .We have to stay strong and find a way out of this."

Eleanor holds Rosaline's hand tightly, her voice filled with concern," Rosaline, listen to me carefully. I need you to promise me something."

Rosaline gazes into her mother's eyes, a mixture of fear and determination in her own," What is it, Mother? I'll do whatever it takes to keep us safe."

Eleanor her voice quivering slightly," If anything happens to me, if we become separated or I'm unable to protect you, promise me you'll never lose sight of who you are. Promise me you'll seek the truth about your father, no matter what."

Rosaline feeling a sense of urgency, nods solemnly," I promise, Mother. I'll find the truth and bring justice to those responsible for our suffering. But please, don't talk like this. We will get through this together."

Suddenly, amidst their conversation, a violent explosion rocks the ship, sending debris and chaos in every direction. Rosaline and Eleanor are forcefully separated, their hands torn apart in the chaos.

Rosaline frantically searching the wreckage, her voice filled with desperation, "Mother! Mother, where are you?"

But there is no response. The realization hits Rosaline like a devastating blow. Tears stream down her face as she continues to call out for her mother, hoping against hope that she'll hear her voice in the midst of the chaos.

Rosaline's world shatters as she comes to the agonizing realization that her mother is gone. The weight of grief and the burning desire for justice and vengeance consume her heart, fueling her determination to uncover the truth about her father and the circumstances that led to her mother's untimely demise.

Weeks after the tragic demise of Rosaline's mother, a messenger arrives at the secluded hideout where Rosaline has taken refuge. The messenger, adorned in the livery of her father's noble family, bears a grave expression as they deliver a sealed letter to Rosaline.

Messenger ,"Lady Rosaline, I bring you urgent tidings from your father's family. They have learned of the recent events and have deemed it necessary to summon your brother, Adrian, to assume his rightful place as the heir to the noble lineage."

Rosaline gazes at the messenger, her eyes still filled with grief and anger ,"Summon my brother? But they are aware of the circumstances surrounding our mother's death? Do they not care?"

Messenger, "Lady Rosaline, the letter enclosed holds the explanations and apologies of your father's family. They acknowledge the tragedy that has befallen your mother and express their deepest condolences. It is their wish to bring your brother under their protection and guidance, given his status as the rightful heir."

Rosaline clenches her fists, a mix of conflicting emotions evident on her face," I understand the importance of my brother's role, but do they not see the pain we are enduring? The answers we seek? The justice we demand?"

Messenger," Lady Rosaline, they assure you that the truth surrounding your father and your lineage will be revealed in due time. They claim that the revelations must come through proper channels, and that your brother's presence among them is paramount to uncovering the full story."

Rosaline takes a deep breath, her resolve hardening ,"Very well. Send word to my father's family that my brother will make his way to them. But know this: I will not rest until I uncover the truth about my father, until justice is served for my mother's death. They cannot expect me to stand idly by while they maneuver their pieces behind closed doors."

With a steely determination, Rosaline accepts the weight of responsibility thrust upon her brother, understanding that their father's family holds the key to unlocking the mysteries of their lineage.
