7 Banquet (4) His First Impression

As jack left him in the corridor, Isaac took a deep breath. He thought that the alcohol must hit him too, It must be the reason why he acted like that.

An icy breeze cooling his heated body, while waiting his attendant. He could hear the ball music play. 'They must be dancing now...' He thought inwardly after a faint musical instrument start playing together from the hall directions.

Meanwhile, inside the room Edith laying in a daze. She looks at the ceiling, thinking what has happened seems unreal. Her throbbing heartbeat showing no sign to calm.

"Shit, shit, shit !!" She mumbles, while covering her rosy cheeks. Her foot swaying back and forth.

'Did the drama kissing scene would feel like this too?' she removes her hand and sit down on the sofa. 'Yes, this must be how they felt, right? Man... I wish I could come back and date before I end up in here.' She shrugged her shoulder down. Her eyes examining the area, an outer suit caught her attention 'It was his clothes' getting close to the cloth as she could inhale the fresh scent of the forest, 'Is it casuarina ?' she thought.

Then her eyes shifted into the piano inside the room, She stands from the sofa, reaching the piano like she was attracted into it. Sitting on the seat and setting the grand piano. She felt longing inside, for the past few days she couldn't listen a song, nor did she could suddenly try to cook in the kitchen. She felt lonely, and from her studies people in here listened to a song... but it is limited to a folk song, people from a noble family reciting poems and watching an opera's. There's no POP or HIPHOP except from CLASSICAL genre. She learned how to play three instruments back in her previous life.

Piano was ones of the instrument she could perform.

She missed it and if she didn't sing, it would feel as she forgetting her past life. Unknowingly to her, both of her hand move itself. Pressing the first tune in serenity.

Isaac on the outside still standing while leaning on the wall, watching his clock when he heard a piano sound inside the room. His head turns around automatically, hearing an unfamiliar melody.

'Its sad...' he thought when the melody sounds in slow, sometimes leaping like a flow of emotion would outburst, 'it must be Edith who playing the grand piano.' He turns back facing the door, held the doorknob. Slowly opening the door, finally seeing her under the glass lamp. The girl singing softly along with the grand piano. He stood there dazed at her performance, the song filled with grief on longing at someone. Isaac couldn't bear to imagine her in helpless like the song she sang. He didn't move from his spot until the song ended as she pressed the last chord.

He didn't step inside, instead looking at her from the tiny door gap during entire play. Edith's fall asleep while sitting on the piano stool, her head swaying unbalanced. She almost fell on the floor before Isaac's big arm leaning her body at him.

He lifted her frame with both his arms, Jack was already in front of the door, carrying the medication. Isaac put her back on the sofa, tidying her bangs, watching her for a moment, and stood up.

Reaching his outer suit which was hanging on the near sofa's, covering her torso.

"Inform her brother and left the pill on the table. Ask a guard to watch the room before you went to her relative."

"Should I ask the maid too ?"

"Sure. Tell the chambermaid to bring some macaroons and fruit for the lady."

"As you wish, My Lord."

Jack immediately bowing his head as he has seen his master stroking the young lady's swollen lips.

"I'll go back to the ball." He stood up and leaving behind his attendant inside. The wine tastes on his mouth had long gone, as his thirst on it didn't die down. Her appearance when they both kissed passionately along with her image playing the unknown song rooted deeply in his mind.

Jack whom watching his master figure leaving the room sighing, he saw the lady sleeping figure on the sofa. His eyes spotting swollen lips, 'It's obvious.' Jack was shaking his head side to side automatically.

Isaac attendant asking a knight to watch the door and telling the maid to take some snack for lady in the restroom. His master already sitting on a different spot, calmly exchanging a chat. He then proceeds to look for Sir Adam's and found out he was standing in front of the dine table while holding his outer coat.

He was worried.

Jack checked the time. Around thirty minutes had passed since his master took Lady Edith into the restroom. Adam was clenching his hand because he failed to watch her carefully until an unknown man approaching him.

"Excuse me, Sir Adam's ?" It was Jack.

"Yes ?" Adam was confused on what reasons this fellow talking at him. He looks like a butler by his appearance, "What's wrong ?"

"My master told me to informing Sir Adam on Lady Edith's whereabouts."

Adam's hand clenching hard. He was relieved and worried concurrently. Why did she end up in the restroom with a man, he thinks? "Show me the path." he demanded.

"This way."

Jack and Adam left the hall, Isaac watching the two figures leave the ball, then he's excusing himself from the crowd.

He sat on the 2nd floor, observing from the upstairs. He could see the crown prince loitering around a noble lady. She had a blonde hair and blue eyes, a very beautiful lady. Consciously he's comparing Edith with her, still no matter how she looks. Edith was far more charming and beautiful than her. Her luscious pink lips, slender waist, voluptuous breast under that gown were extremely soft. He had to admit that the dress she wore today was exceptional, even her eyes captivating him.

She was surprisingly bubbly and mean at the same times. He was amused by her, amazed that she didn't whack him for sucking and licking her tongue. Most of the noble lady would probably slap him for doing so.

Isaac was deep in thought until someone interrupting him with his presence, He's Jack.

"How is her condition ?" He asks without turning his head.

"She's much better after taking the medicine and probably will wake up soon."

"Good work." he said, still looking at the hall directions. Watching the crown prince actions.
