Episode 5

We arrived at the Archduchy, and wow, it is very large. From here, I can see the castle on the summit, which would be where Cristian Montenegro, my almost-uncle, lives. Although he really is, I can't claim victory until it's proven.

Cristian—We have arrived at the Archduchy, little one—

He gets out, then Luna gets out, and finally, I get out. As I get out, I can see many people waiting for him.

Everyone—Welcome, Young Master—they say.

Cristian—Thank you for receiving me—

After that, we go inside, and near the entrance to the castle are the Archdukes. Wow, they still look very young, or is it that they are immortal?

Cristian—Mother, Father, I have returned—

Archduchess—Son, I can't believe it, you found your sister, but why is she still a child? I don't understand—

Archduke—Calm down, woman, let's go inside so he can explain better—

I see how they start to enter the castle, but I see that they are shedding tears. I feel nostalgia for them, since they don't know what really happened and they think I'm their daughter. It makes me sad.

After a while, we arrive at a large office. We sit there, and my almost-uncle begins to tell them how we met, a couple of hours ago. After that, I see a maid enter, and the Archduke sends for a mage from the Magical Headquarters.

Archduchess—Little one, tell us where your mother is and why you are here. What happened?—

I began to tell her everything from when I have use of reason and how I thought the biggest viper was my mother. After a while of telling everything, there is a knock at the door, and the one who I think is the mage enters.

After talking, they take a few drops of my blood, and the mage begins to do the family test.

Mage—Congratulations, Archdukes, she is your granddaughter and niece—

I close my eyes for a moment and think about how I have completed a step of my plan to save myself, and that was to find Alessia's real family.

Cristian—You see, Gini, you really are my niece—

Archduchess—I have a granddaughter, this must be celebrated—

Archduke—Little one, thank you for being in our lives and cheering us up—

Me—You're welcome, grandparents—

Archduke—I'm a grandfather, how I would like to see my little girl again—

Cristian—I would like to see my sister alive—

Me—There is something I haven't told you—

Archduchess—And what is that, my child?—

Me—You see, when I investigated, I couldn't find traces of my mother being dead, so it may be that she is alive and in captivity—

Archduke—My little daughter, how she has suffered—

Me—That's right, my mother has suffered a lot—

Cristian—Don't worry, niece, I'll take care of finding more information—

Me—Thank you, I would also like you to send someone to look for Luna's parents—

Archduchess—Don't worry, my child, I'll send for them right now—

We were talking for a long time to get to know each other a little better. After talking, they took me to what would be my room, where Luna is waiting for me.

Luna—Madam, would you like me to prepare a bath for you?—

Me—Yes, I would like that, Luna, and tell me, did they show you your room?—

Luna—Yes, Madam, it is next to yours so I can attend to you well—

Me—Good, I like that, dear Luna. Your parents will be here very soon—

Luna—Thank you very much, Madam—

When Luna enters the bathroom to prepare the bath, I sit on the sofa in the room and take out a diary from my bag and start writing what I have already achieved, which is finding Alessia's real family.

Suddenly, someone knocks on the door, so I say to come in.

X—Miss Ginevra, the archduke sends you this gift—

I tell her to put it on the bed, and then she leaves, so I go to take a bath while Luna looks for one of my dresses in the dimensional bag. I get into the bathtub and relax. This bath feels so good that I want to stay like this all day, but I have to prepare for the dinner that will be later.

I get out of the bath and go to the bed. There is my dress, so I put it on. Then I sit down so that Luna can start combing my hair. She combs my hair while I open the small box that my grandfather, the archduke, sent.

Me—Wow, the archduke has good taste. It's a beautiful hairpin—

Luna—Do you want to put it on, Madam?—

Me—Yes, Luna, please—

She puts the hairpin on me. After that, they come for me, so we walk, and after a few minutes, we arrive at the dining room, and wow, it is big. I curtsy to them, and then they invite me to sit down, and I sit next to the grandmother. Subsequently, they begin to serve different dishes, and they look very delicious. If the duchy was luxurious, here it is extra luxurious and elegant everything.

Me—Bon appetit—

I say and start eating. They respond to me in the same way and start eating each dish. Luna was taken to the kitchen, I just hope they don't treat her badly.

After eating, we go to a tea room, and there they serve us tea, and my grandfather and uncle start talking about how his trip went and many things, and then they ask me some questions.

Grandmother—Little one, would you like etiquette teachers?—

Me—Yes, I would like that, grandmother, also business and sword teachers—

Grandfather—Why do you want a sword master, little one?—

Me—To be able to defend yourself from the bad guys—

Grandmother—But little one, what will they say about you?—

Me—Grandmother, that is something that doesn't matter because I will be able to defend myself and nothing will happen to me—

Grandmother—Okay, little one, and would you like a magic teacher?—

Me—Yes, I would like that, grandmother—

Uncle—I'll be your magic teacher—

Me—Eh, really?—

Uncle—Yes, little one—

Me—I would also like Luna to have a magic and sword teacher—
