"I-I don't think so," Lisa said and quickly put down the meal before turning around to walk away.
"Stop!" the noble lady ordered. "Turn around. I wish to see you once more."
"What's the matter, young lady? Do you know my wife?" Reever asked as he walked forward.
The noble lady looked at Reever for just a split second before saying, "this has nothing to do with you. Step aside, I just want to speak to the girl."
"Honey, what's going on? Just turn around for her to see," Reever said.
"I-I can't do that," Lisa said, refusing to turn around to show her face.
Ning looked at them from the side with a confused look. 'Is she someone Lisa knows? Perhaps from her home where she ran away from?' he wondered.
"I'm sorry, young miss. But my wife says she doesn't want to turn around, so you shouldn't force her. Please enjoy your meal," Reever said and turned to escort Lisa back to the kitchen area.
"Hey! You can't leave like that. Don't make me use my authority here," the girl cried out.
"Miss, you shouldn't abuse yo—"
"Shut up," the girl ordered her butler. "Make that girl turn around. I know I've seen her somewhere before."
The butler was troubled. He didn't want to do what she said at all, but he was supposed to follow all of her orders.
"Miss, we shouldn't force people to—"
"Do you want me to report to my father that you couldn't even follow my orders?" she asked the butler.
The butler's face was even more troubled now as he was starting to panic. He did not want the complaint to reach her father's ear. Offending her father would mean an end to his career.
"Young lady, I'm afraid I will have to ask you to turn around and show yourself. Please don't make me do it if possible," the butler said.
"What? My wife doesn't need to follow your order," Reever started to get angry. "Let's go in, honey. We don't need to deal with these two."
"I wish you didn't make me do this," the butler said as he shook his head. Suddenly he brought up his hand and stopped both Reever and Lisa from moving.
He then started putting in the effort to turn them both around. Reever tried to put all of his Aether to stop himself from turning around, but the opponent was just too strong. Before he knew it, he was half-turned and could see the man from the corner of his eyes.
"That's enough," Ning's voice came from the side. It was a calm voice in a calm tone, but it rang like thunder in the butler's ear.
"Let go and sit down," Ning said.
"Sir, please don't interfe—"
"SIT DOWN!"
The butler lost all control of his body and suddenly felt himself drop down on his seat. His hands he had stretched out wide were now tucked away at his side.
He tried to stop it, but Ning's ability was too strong. The butler found himself unable to move even a single finger without Ning's approval. Beads of sweat started rolling from his forehead.
Suddenly, the force keeping him constrained disappeared and Ning walked up to them.
"What's wrong? Why did you stop?" the girl asked her butler. She didn't seem to have realized that Ning had done something to him.
"Miss, there are experts here. I can't do what you say," the butler said.
"What? I thought you were an expert too. Didn't you boast to my father that you fought in the war against the beasts? Where is that pride now?" she asked.
"There are places where we have to give up, miss. This seems to be one such place. Please forget about the girl," the butler said.
"But…" the girl turned around towards Lisa who still didn't turn around. "I am so close to remembering her…"
Reever turned around to take Lisa back. They were about to enter the door when suddenly, a shocked sound came from the girl.
"AH! I remember now," the girl said. Reever immediately turned around to look at what the girl was talking about.
Ning looked curiously as well.
"It can't be though… I thought you were dead," the girl said as her eyes darted around trying to find a meaning for this. "Is it really you, Ely?"
Ning's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. 'Huh? Ely?' he thought and looked around. But of course, it wasn't his Ely. She was still back in Kumia.
Lisa stopped by the door and turned around. "So you figured it out in the end, huh?" he asked. "You're not as slow as you used to be."
"I—" the girl didn't speak anything.
"Camie!" Lisa said in an authoritative voice.
"Y-Yes?" the girl asked.
"Eat and Leave. I do not wish to speak to you," Lisa said. "Understood."
"Y-Yes." The girl named Camie nodded like a dumb girl.
Ning looked in surprise as the dynamic between the two girls had suddenly changed.
"Also," Lisa continued. "Tell no one about me. If someone comes here looking for me, the first thing I will do is go looking for you."
"N-n-no, I won't tell anyone," the girl said in a scared tone.
"Good!" Lisa said and finally turned around to go back to the kitchen with Reever following behind her.
Ning wanted to go and ask questions, but it seemed like a moment when he should let the two of them be alone.
"Who is that, miss?" the butler asked in a low voice, but the girl kept shaking her voice.
"I can't tell you, but you will know soon. Can we leave today?" the girl asked.
"Today? But we have the hotel booked for another week until the next theater play," the butler said.
"Doesn't matter. This is far more important. We need to let her family know as soon as possible that she is actually alive," the girl said.
"But, didn't she just threaten you to not say anything, miss?" the butler asked.
"Yes, but she will be too caught up in her own events to even worry about me," the girl said. "Let's leave."
The girl didn't even touch her food and left the bakery. Ning sighed after hearing everything the girl said.
'Should I do something?'
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"I-I don't think so," Lisa said and quickly put down the meal before turning around to walk away.
"Stop!" the noble lady ordered. "Turn around. I wish to see you once more."
"What's the matter, young lady? Do you know my wife?" Reever asked as he walked forward.
