Life Restart

Gazing outside the window of the carriage, Letisha seems to be pondering about something inventively . The back of her hand is supporting her chin as she thinks deeply.

"Marie, I have been wondering do you know anything about my brother?"

"Eh? The young master?" Marie blinks repeatedly, not expecting the question I threw her

"Yes, my brother" Letisha slightly nodded still facing the window "I know he is also attending the academy, and I realized I don't know that much about him, only that he's also a student within the academy"

Marie had a complicated expression as she thought of what to say next "Well, I don't really have that much to tell you about the young master since I rarely spotted him in the manor before he left for the academy, but from what I have heard from the lord and lady, the young master used to pamper you when you were smaller"

"Pamper me?" I turn my head away from the window and face Marie with a disgusted expression

"Yes, the lady and lord told me he used to treasure you as his one and only little sister"

Treasure me? Don't tell me he is another doting family member, Is doting the youngest child in the family some sort of trait within the bloodline? Having an overprotective mother and father was tiring enough, now an overprotective brother appears too?

Ignoring the wierd face I made, Marie continued giving me glances as she kept talking"But, apparently when you became older, the young master interacted with you less, and less"

Oh, that must've been the time when Letisha became more self-centered. If it was the arrogant Letisha, I would also do the same in his place. Its understandable that he would find it more difficult to get closer towards someone who doesn't reciprocate your goodwill.

"The duke and duchess told me he joined the bowman division within the academy, so if you want to we could pay him a visit"

"Hmmm, I guess so.....I'll do that when we have time" I gave an uncertain reply

"By the way Marie" I make my tone a little more serious

"Yes, young miss?"

"Didn't I tell you to call me by my name"

"Oh, but..." Marie cheeks blushed a little as she wringed her fingers in reluctance

"It's fine, we're friends after all, I'd like it more if we can just call each other by names instead of formalities"

Marie, seeing I wasn't going to let it go sighed and smiled "Yes, Lady Letisha"

'I wanted to be referred to as just Letisha, but I guess this is as far as she can go for now, oh well, sooner or later I'll get my way'

-----

A few hours passed, before the horses trotting ceased, and the carriage stopped in its track

Checking the outside from the window, Marie informed me "Lady Letisha there seems to be a problem outside, something has appeared in the middle of the path and the coachman seems to be pissed"

"Mn I see, let's step out" I give a short hum, exiting the carriage with Marie

As I exited the carriage door, I heard the yells of the carriage driver being directed at something in front of the horses

"OI! Do you know whose carriage you're blocking? This is the Bynsteel Duke's daughter, Letisha Bynsteel's carriage! Get out of the way!"

A fl.u.s.tered voice responded immediately "Oh! I'm very sorry sir, I seem to have dropped my glasses, can you wait one second, I'll get out of the way as soon as I find it"

Edging closer to the front of the carriage, the person the coachman is yelling at seems noticeable now.

In front of the carriage seems to be an a.d.u.l.t man with short brown curly hair wearing some sort of wizard robes. The man is currently on his knees looking on the ground, scanning the premise in search of something

I look around the area he is at, and spot a pair of spectacles a few paces away from me under the carriage.

I grabbed the item and made my way to the crouched individual, initiating verbal contact

"Excuse me sir, are you looking for these?" I bent forward to show the item

Hearing my words, the young man that was looking around the ground stopped his searching and looked towards my hands that are stretched out in front of him

A few seconds passed before realization hit him, resulting in his eyes widening in happiness.

"Ah! Young lady thank you very much!"

'He must have really terrible eyesight to take that long to notice an object right in front of his eyes....'

Recognizing the object in my hands being the thing he's looking for, the man quickly puts the glasses back on.

After his eyes got used to the change in quality, the man looks up from my hands to my face

When he saw my face his eyes widened for a moment, until it returned to a relaxed expression as he rose up from the ground wiping the dirt off his robes.

The man's lips tugged up into a wide smile, as he looked down to face me "Young lady, once again I'd like to thank you for bringing me my glasses, and also I'd also like to introduce myself to you"

The curly haired man took a gentlemanly bow before saying "I am called Patrick Wirdfim, just a humble wizard"
