?|THE LAST PIECE|?{Wmmap}

Before his death, Anastacius did an experiment using Penelope, and she convinced a child who contained black magic.

Much to her dismay, Penelope died during childbirth, and an normal child was born named Jennette.

According to the novel, Jennette was  raised at the Alpheus estate.

She was taken in as a means to obtain policial gains.

Jennette who has only ever heard about her family members longed to meet them.

"Jennette, Jennette, Jen.n.ette de Alger obe.lia."
Ashaya tested out the name in her tounge, a smirk playing on her lips.

'Let's pay a visit to my cousin shall we?'
She mused inwardly.

.....

Ashaya, cloaked in secrecy, arrived at the Alpheus estate using magic.

Although she was really prominent in magic, she was still exhausted, due to the long distance between the imperial palace and Alpheus estate.

Ensuring her presence remained undetected, she surveyed the surroundings, cautious of any signs of company.

She had illegally trespassed into a Duke's estate, if she gets caught, even if she doesn't get punished, her reputation would be ruined.

She searched forr the garden where Jennette usually appended her in the novel.

After a brief exploration, she discovered the garden and amongst it was Jennette, engrossed in her own company amidst the garden's beauty.

Concealed behind a large tree, Ashaya observed the enchanting child.

With her lustrous brown hair and sparkling jewel-blue eyes, the little girl radiated an undeniable charm.

It was no surprise that Athanasia felt a pang of threat.

'Should I talk to her? it would be fun'
Ashaya mused.

In an instant, Ashaya appeared before Jennette, materialising from thin air,she gracefully landed on the soft grass, as if an ethereal being had graced the earth.

Startled by the sudden manifestation, Jennette gazed at the stunning figure that had emerged from the ether.

"Hello Jennette."
Ashaya greeted, her smile playful and inviting.

In Jennettes eyes this was the most beautiful person she had ever witnessed, the person was like an angel from heaven, she was mesmerised

But as she caught sight of the striking blue eyes—symbols of the imperial lineage.

She realized this figure must be connected to her!

Ashaya reveled in the girl's reaction, reminiscent of a time long past, for Athanasia no longer wore such expressions.

Oh how must she missed the old days!

After having a fill of joy seeing the brown haired girls expression, Ashaya decided to introduce herself.

"You're probably wondering who I am. I am Ashaya, Ashaya de Alger Obelia. You're cousin."
Ashaya said with a smile, her voice gentle and soothing, unlike anything Jennette have ever heard

'Let's keep the other part a secret.'
Ashaya mused inwardly.

"..cousin?"
Jennette finally managed to utter.

"Yes. I'm your cousin"
Ashaya answered as she landed gracefully on the garden floor.

.....

The two engaged in lighthearted conversation, and Ashaya relished every moment of her visit.

While navigating the whims of a child proved somewhat exasperating, the experience was undeniably enjoyable,

She might visit this cousin of hers again in the near future.
