Chapter 30: Camilla watch out! (1)

"This has been a touching story and all, but I would like to do my job now," the general announced shoving me and away. Damian caught me on the spot, and I hurriedly got off him and thanked him. I looked at the General and asked, "Have you ever been so hungry that you could eat a rock?". He scoffed and replied, "Of course, I haven't,". I looked at him and laughed. "Then you wouldn't understand. I was an orphan since young, and I had to learn to fend for myself at an early age. Either you learn to cook yourself or you eat people's leftovers," I muttered. "You grew up as a son of a noble how would you know the feeling of being poor? I grew up in an orphanage with nobody to confide in. I believe that the son of the noble was wrong. He took away someone who Mr Gerald here truly loved and cared for. Perhaps it might have been a bit extreme that you killed his son but he's not in the wrong here. Since young, I realised that whoever hurt me before I pay back them 10 times. As for whoever helped me before I will help them in any way," I announced. "You!" the General muttered.

I ignored him and walked towards the grand duke. "Uncle Robert, wouldn't it be a good idea to employ these men under you as your knights?" I asked, Uncle Robert looked at me in confusion and asked, "Anna?". I looked at Gerald and asked "Do you mind working underneath the Grand Duke? That way you can still live a good life with your family members on this mountain however, you must promise not to harm the merchants. Those men who can work and fight can follow the grand duke or even the general here. Then they will be able to earn money and the people walking past these mountains wouldn't be in any harm,". Gerald looked around at his men and announced "You guys can decide for yourself. Young miss do you mind if we've some time to decide for ourselves?" he asked. I looked at the grand duke and he nodded. I looked at the bandit and nodded back "as long as you don't cause any trouble to the people pasting here," I replied. He nodded and I looked at Uncle Robert. He signed but left me. The general looked at us back and forth. "Grand Duke are you allowing her to do as she is pleased?" the general shouted. the grand duke nodded and muttered "Yes,". "You..." he announced. The grand duke signed and signalled for people to let him go. The knights proceeded to untie him.

I walked away from them and headed towards the carriage. Damian and Ryan looked at the grand duke and excused themselves. I turned around to see a sharp knife flying towards me. I used my hand to cross my head as danger approached. At this moment a blue light surrounded me, and I could only see white light. When the blinding white light reside the next thing, I could see was rows and rows of flowers. I walked through the flowers crouching down to smell them. They were so sweet as well. I walked deeper and deeper into the garden of flowers. Where exactly was I? Even though I randomly came to this place it doesn't seem to faze me at all. Have I been here before? Maybe that's why I'm not at all scared, instead, I feel quite happy. I looked down and noticed that I had changed into a light blue dress. What exactly am I wearing? Since when was I wearing a light blue dress? I don't remember ever buying this dress in both of my lives.

I continued walking up the hill of flowers and I noticed at the peak of this hill there was a lady with her hair in a braid with little flowers peeking out. It looked really cute. "Hi?" I shouted out. Nobody answered me however she turned her head behind me and looked in my direction and smiled. I thought she heard me however she was looking behind me. Someone ran through me and towards her. Was I a ghost or something? How could they run past me without me feeling it? That's so strange. Does this mean everything is just an illusion? I watched the man go up to the woman and say something, but I still couldn't catch what they were saying. I was standing so close to them, yet I still couldn't hear them. The lady smiled and laughed so the man must've said something nice. She got up and walked to me. She was staring at me, could she see me? She opened her mouth and muttered, "You shouldn't be here. It is not the time yet. Go back,". Huh? Why could I hear her now? She placed my hand on my forehead and once again a blue light flashed in front of me. The next moment I opened my eyes I could see everyone crouching next to me. What had happened?
