Mana: Before The Rise 167 The Ex-Heroine, Lovely Florist 3

"This way" Piers said gently while holding her hand, heading towards the area where the rare, Awagre Flower was. "Duke's Silliurd Daughter is a wonderful person." She said softly as he looked at Miyu's face, she still hadn't rejected him holding her hand as they were walking to the back. They're was a knight at the entrance where the rarest plants in the country are their for few.

When Miyu saw the Awagre she had pulled Piers with her to get a closer look, she looked to her sides, and saw that it was okay to touch them.

It's a large plant and can be found in most mountains. It blooms once a year, for 2 months.

It has thick, rosette leaves, which are usually dark red. It also grows large flowers, which can be light brown or dark dark.

These plants grow separated by a fair distance from each other, but it's quite straightforward to control and maintain their growth. As a defense mechanism the Awagre can collapse its flowers when it detects vibrations.

They rely on self-pollination to reproduce. Once pollinated, they grow small, fruits. That can be used to treat wounds and illness or to be a spice to certain foods. Just like the rest of the plant, only the fruits of the flower are more potent in its recovery effect.

Miyu continued to observe the plant while Piers decided to talk about the history of the plant, from where it was first down. She did indeed listen, while she was using her eyes to completely focus on the plant.

He then commented how its overuse during the war almost lead to it being nearly extinct.

A strong gaze was on her and Piers, Miyu didn't bother about since that person didn't have any killing intent.

Louis Retgil, was one of Duke Retgil son. He like his younger never like Veronica the moment she entered their household when she was young. He never believed her when she was being bullied by the maids at all always takin the servant's side when she complained.

Until one day she just stopped complaining and then every-day from then on, she would get sick from food poisoning, she would get sick from so much as bathing, she would randomly start horribly bleeding through her clothes.

She was also clumsy and would fall multiple times in a day and even down the stairs and get some pretty terrible injuries.

Until finally when Father finally deeded her useless when she had gotten a terrible injury on her face, he asked her to leave the mansion and never a.s.sociate herself with the dukedom again.

Leaving that was the first time I saw her smile; she looks as if the Duke's household was h.e.l.l and she was finally able to escape her prison.

It was afterword that the truth was reveled by the only personal maid servant of this adoptive sister of his. See had said with pride that she cheered that finally being able to push the 'Fake' lady out. He heard them admit their abuse of her and were happy that the Duke's sons also happily helped push her out.

Louis frowned as this adoptive little sister of his is calmly talking to the young man right next to him. She watched her reach out to softly touch the plant in front of her before standing up with her the young man, it was then he noticed that they where holding hands.

"Hey, do you want to get some tea. Now that you have seen it."

"Sure" Miyu said softly her had still held tightly by his as they walked together out the room, and then out of the gardens as it was starting to get crowded. Into a nearby café and Piers got them some cups of tea.

Louis had followed the pair not really knowing why when he was stop by his good friend the Crown prince, Albert Helian.

"Louis?" Albert questioned with as his friend seemed to be focused on trailing someone.

"Prince Albert" Louis greeted and was about to leave to continued to follow, Miyu and Piers to the Café.

"Your in a rush?"

"….." Louis looked at Albert for a moment. "Excuse me, your highness" he took off, Albert looked at his aide and guard behind him before following Louis in curiosity. Walking inside Louis goes to a nearby table and watches the interaction of his adoptive sister and what he a.s.sumes is her lover.

Albert enters the café and goes straight to Louis whose gaze is completely focused on his adoptive sister. He frowned and followed his friend gaze to the beautiful black-haired young women, all of a suddenly he felt his heart take a hit.

After a few short conversations the two finished their tea and got ready to leave. Piers took her hand and walked with her to a carriage back to her shop.

The moment the Prince saw the beautiful black-haired women's hand was taken by the young man he wanted to kill him. He felt extreme jealously, Prince Albert's aide and guard saw his facial expression in shock they couldn't keep up with what is happening.

Soon enough all four of them followed Miyu and Piers back to her store, where they both waved goodbye and Rachel opened her store. Putting her ap.r.o.n on.

The moment she was ready, the four popped into her small flower shop. Louis directly walked up to Miyu.

"Veronica, it's been a long time"

"…." Miyu stared at the man nodded and sat down at her small chair in the corner with a book in her hand.

Louis took her response as her being unable to forgive him for the past. While Albert, was attentively listening, trying to get as much information about the young beauty who stole his heart at first site.

"Veronica" Louis tried again "Are you perhaps angry that we didn't take your side?"

Miyu closed her book and thought for a moment, she could feel the originals feelings and worlds inside of her. Rachel had told her that sometimes if she is stomped to let the Originals emotions take over, is the best way to proceed if you don't know how to yourself.

"Why would you care?" Miyu said simply. "Sir Retgil, if you are not buying anything would you please leave my store."

"Veron-"

"Would you not call me by that disgusting name" Miyu's expression was stale but her words and tone were filled with extreme hostility.

Louis was shocked and not sure what to say. "I…."

Miyu looked down and opened her book back up, originally, she was going to use Jenna's emotions to speak. But the uncomfortable feeling that came with it unsettled her. It was to foreign, she doesn't understand how Rachel can let these foreign things enter her with ease, when she couldn't even stand it.
