Mana: Before The Rise 212 Adoptive Daughter Gloriosa 1

[Are you going to continue to lay down like that?]

"Can you tell me what's happening?" Miyu whispered lightly and lazily

Gloriosa Briar-Rose is the name of this girl she is the adopted daughter of her mother's marriage before and took on the name Briar-Rose when her adopted mother married again. During her mother's first marriage due not being able to have a child for the longest she enlisted a witch's help, that witch was Gloriosa's mother a sickly women on the boarded on life and death. Had her daughter adopted by this woman in exchange for a child.

Gloriosa's mother died no long after Marine her adopted mother was with child. Marine didn't hate this adopted daughter of hers. Afterall the young girl was very beautiful and smart; she was also very docile making it hard for Marine to hate the young girl.

Anastasia was born not long afterward.

Their life was peaceful until their father died where everything changed for the young girls as well as their mother. Left to grief for some months while also being close to bankruptcy in and debt, Marine wasn't sure to start as she fell apart at the seams trying to deal with everything that seemed to be collapsing.

Gloriosa was the grown-up in this case, although her adopted mother was an adult, she didn't know how to handle things outside of her household. Only Gloriosa who had learned by shadowing her adoptive father due to curiosity was able to settle their debts and land.

She was successful in keeping the household afloat and making sure that no one would go starving or not get paid. She was considered to a genius closely on par with the famous Saira Wendall, although she had never gone to the academy and was self-taught instead.

Viscount Briar-Rose eventually made himself known to Gloriosa's family, got acquainted with her adoptive mother and then eventually they married. He was a good man who stayed single for a long time due to his lover leaving him.

For another some years their life was peaceful once again and the entire family was riddled with happiness. Until Viscount Briar-Rose brought his former lover's daughter back the two, the women was sickly and on her deathbed.

[Miyu your Mission in this is not only let Ella have a happy ending but Anastasia to]

Miyu nodded as she got up and dressed herself, she looked at herself in the mirror the dark-brown hair and green-eyes.

Knock, Knock

"Gloria, Good Morning let's have breakfast" her younger sister walked, with her red hair and similar green-eyes to Gloriosa except where an emerald shade darker.

"Good Morning" Miyu said tiredly as Anastasia locked her arm with hers and pulled her downstairs to the breakfast table. Anastasia talked a mouth-full of gossip in Miyu's ear, the original Gloriosa did the same thing and just listened quietly.

The Current Viscount near really employed many servants and was quite wearily of spending to much, unlike his predecessor who was a spendthrift and nearly put the household to bankruptcy.

Once they entered the room Anastasia stopped talking and glared at the pale and pet.i.te looking girl, her expression was very sad and lonely as her down gazed down.

There was one thing certain about this girl, blonde her like hers is rare for this country. Miyu nudged Anastasia so they could say their greetings.

"Good Morning, Mother, Father" Miyu looked to Viscount Briar-Rose and Marine.

"Good Morning" Anastasia whispered and squeezed her sister's arm tighter, looking awaywith a hurt expression.

Marine looked sadly at Anastasia "Good Morning Ana, Gloria" As for Viscount Briar-Rose he didn't respond it seemed he was distracted and his eyes where somewhat red.

"Go Sit down next to mother" Miyu pulled away and went to the seat opposite of Marine right next to the pet.i.te Ella.

Miyu sighed inwards as not long after they started their breakfast 'doesn't look good'

-A Week Later-

Miyu looked outside at the Father, Daughter pair dressed in Morning clothes. Ella's mother had taken her last breath in the dead of night.

She glanced at her sister and mother in the window, Anastasia had her arms folded with a huge att.i.tude while her mother Marine looked down with a tint of despair in her eyes. No Wife would feel good after seeing her husband sob over the death of someone else.

"You all should retire for the time being" Miyu said suddenly and rea.s.suringly as she walked out the library silence following her, making her frown. "Its Sunny, for such a sad day" she whispered as she walked into the Viscount's office and waited for his return.

She took out some twisters from the system as she texted Rachel and then started reading a web-novel from her Phone. Some time later Viscount Briar-Rose walked, making Miyu put all her stuff back into the system.

"You here?" Viscount Briar-Rose said lightly, he looked exhausted. It hadn't even been a full day and he looks nearly and completely lifeless, he must have really loved Ella's mother.

Miyu couldn't help but sigh "What are you planning to do?"

"What do you mean?"

"Ella"

Viscount Briar-Rose frowned "Ella?"

Miyu said bluntly "You're going to add her to the family registry, yes"

"Yes, is that a problem" Viscount Briar-Rose said still frowning.

Miyu remember Rachel's text she sat up seriously "Do you think Mother and Anastasia, will be accepting."

"Why wou-"

"How would a wife feel when she sees her husband cry over another women" Miyu cut in off suddenly. "Let me tell you, its how you felt when Ella's mother cheated on you and left you for someone else"

"How?" The Viscount looked startled

"I also know that Ella isn't even your real child." Miyu stood up with an unreadable expression at the viscount.

Viscount Briar-Rose twitched and was about to say more.

"For now, do what you want" she said leaving the office she turned to her side Marine stared back at her with red eyes. Miyu nodded and then walked away towards her room.

In the messages Rachel sent her explained everything.

(Miyu make sure to read all of it, don't skim like you usually do.)

(This starts with Gloriosa's mother May and Ella's Mother April. May and April where twin Orphans who worked odd jobs until they got lucky to be offered a job at the Viscounts household as maids. May ended up starting a secret relations.h.i.+p with the young Viscount while April climbed into the Viscount's bed. When April found out about her sister's relations.h.i.+p tricked May, disfigured her face and left her for dead in the woods. May survived and became a Witch and had Gloriosa, while April took all the benefits of both lovers until she was caught by the young Viscount in bed with his father.)

(Afterword's he had his father imprisoned on charges of Poisoning his mother and Sent April away. Since his Father was married into the t.i.tle, what he did was considered a big deal.)

(Anyway, the Viscount believed May was April for years to come, until he met Gloriosa. It looked like he saw himself in Gloriosa and looked into her background. It seems he came across the truth and took the opportunity to take the family in.)

(Gloriosa was named the heir the moment she stepped into the Viscount's household, much to opposition. He hasn't told anyone that Gloriosa is his real blood-related daughter.)

(In Ella's case she was taken in due to her being the Viscount's younger Sister. As for April he may have wanted the truth from her, I don't think he was grieving for April but for May instead.)

(You should make it Known that you know Ella's isn't his real daughter and take account of Marine's feelings)

Miyu pushed her hair and texted what had happened and what she should do next.

(The goal for you is to get a happy ending for both Ella and Anastasia, for now make sure Anastasia bullying doesn't get worse, and keep close to the story. The two are only ten years old, they must grow somehow.)

After saying okay, Miyu went back to web novel reading until she fell asleep.
