The year 1856
38Please respect copyright.PENANA6Yy16mzhLY
A commoner would appreciate how glamorous the mansion is, or a castle to some, and how that can make people like them wish to live just a day to feel what it feels like to sleep inside that beautiful mansion.
Then there is the one who owns the said mansion, who was shouting at the maids to hurry up before the new gem arrived, not wanting this new gem to be born in this dirty place.
While on his side, someone was mimicking him and shouting at the maids as well, because they didn't want their newborn sibling to step into this old place like them.
A harsh one If I may say so myself, but that was the reality at that time. Some dukes, marquesses, or whatever the noble rank is, don't care who they shout at or injure as long as they get what they want, and the worst-case scenario is that they force themselves on them.
That can lead to that person killing themselves because of mental abuse or physical abuse, but as they said, not all maids or servants suffer from this.
Because in this glamorous mansion, the lady is as kind as the day appears, just like her beauty stands out when the sun shines on a gem.
As everyone was cleaning every speck they found, not wanting to be scolded by the Lord, some became dehydrated to the point where they would have collapsed if the lady hadn't caught them in time.
By now, they would be rolling down the long stairs.
As for the lord who saw this, he immediately went to where the maid was and was about to scold and maybe fire them for their clumsiness, only to halt as he saw his wife looking at him.
"Dear, I know you just want what's best for the baby, but you need to stay calm and let these people rest, just like me. They too need a rest if you want them to continue."
"How can I say no to you?"
The duke only then waved the maid and the others away, who quickly followed his order, and as they were gone, he carefully went to his wife's side, supporting her.
Any minute the lady would be bringing the new gem into this world.
"Mama, when will we see our new sibling?"
"Soon, my brave Gem,"
"I hope it's a boy!"
"And why do you want it to be a boy, my joyful gem?"
The two brothers then look at each other, giggling at the thought of why they wanted a boy brother, and the lady, who was confused, can only chuckle at her two sons, who are now shouting for the maids to bring their gifts.
"We want him to be in our games!"
"Yeah! He will be the prince, and we will be his guard like papa is!"
The lady can't help but look at her husband, who is proudly chuckling, "Don't you mean a princess?"
"Yuck! Girls are weak; a boy prince would be cool, as he can defeat himself when we're not around, b-but that doesn't mean Mama is weak!"
"Y-yeah, and we already made a play list with our new baby brother and we also help clean the new room for baby brother!"
The lady only chuckled at her two sweet gems, even though she knew that her son was busy playing outside or practicing that the two made up that they helped clean the room, even though she knew the maid did it.
But nonetheless, she's still happy to hear that her two gems were excited to meet their new baby sibling, and when she's about to praise them, a sudden pain causes her to yelp.
Startling the three boys.
"Mama, are you okay?"
She wanted to reassure them that she had simply taken the wrong step, only to yell again and once she felt a wetness trailing on her legs.
She only needs to eye her husband and by that the lady has arrived at the delivery room, where all generation uses to deliver a new gem into the world.
Like how she delivered her sons, but once she laid down, one thing that she knew is that this time it would be different, as the baby wanted out in instance, causing her to shout in pain.
The Duke became even more nervous as he realized that this was not like the other two boys or the previous generation.
"Papa, is Mama going to be okay?"
"She will; she's a brave one, ain't she?" The duke assured not wanting for his sons to feel what he is feeling right now.
But unknown to them, not only he or the lady herself felt the difference, so those were the people who were helping the lady and the two boys, who were now holding both hands to feel safe and praying that their mama would be okay.
In all the history of the generation that the Duke witnesses, this is his first time to feel the urge to exhale out loud after hearing that the baby was born and without waiting for the maid's announcement for him to enter.
As it's his mansion after all, but at the same time, it's a protocol to some, but he just brushes it away.
"My lord, it's a baby girl. Congratulations"
In front of them, a beautiful, healthy girl was born, and everyone was happy to announce that a new gem was beginning to glow like the rest of her siblings, but there was one thing that they couldn't help but ask.
Is the baby's appearance distinct from that of its brothers, who all have brown hair and green eyes except for this new gem?
It also has the same color of hair, but at the end of the tip of it at the bangs area, it has a white string of hair that is sticking out.
"WHAT IS THIS?!"
"Calm down, my lord-"
"Calm down? You, did you deliver it wrong?"
As the duke accuses the person of delivering it incorrectly, he becomes enraged. What's more, the two brothers were also accusing the person, only to shut their mouths when one person spoke.
"M-my lord, this is a good sign. This white that is sticking is good luck to the Pellerelli; it once said, if a baby was born in mid-winter, white hair would appear; that means if this happens, it's great news."
"How is this good news?"
Now this made the Lord calm for a bit, as he likes good luck charms like his precious wife. As the person continues to speak about the situation, attempting to calm the Lord,
The lady, on the other hand, was tired as the night passed, but she forced herself to stay awake to see her daughter because, for as long as she lived in this mansion.
She thought she couldn't have any more children, as it was later announced to her after she gave birth to the second baby that she could no longer give birth.
She was devastated because she wanted a girl; there was nothing wrong with her two gemstone boys, but she knew it would be different with a daughter by her side, and she wanted to talk to someone she knew would listen to her.
Who doesn't make her tired with all the games and have a simple tea party with her daughter. So when she heard that she was pregnant,
Day and night, she can't stop crying in joy, only to realize that 70% could be a boy again, but she has that feeling that this time it would be a girl, and so she prayed every day for it to be a girl.
Once she heard the news, she was happy.
"My lady, it's a healthy girl; congratulations."
As she's about to hug her awaiting child, the maid is confused when the lady stops midway.
"My lady?"
Again, the maid called the lady only to hear her gasp when they saw a dreadful picture, and without hesitation, they called the attention of the other maid.
This also caused the lord and two boys to look at what the commotion was, and when the lord saw this, he immediately called one maid to bring the boys out, not wanting the two boys to discover their mother's situation.38Please respect copyright.PENANAwWnfbG1Vtw

Once the two boys were outside, the lord immediately sprinted to his wife's side, grasping her hand gently and calling her name again and again. Just like how he will call her when he is the first one to wake up, so instead of a smiling drowsy face that he can't get tired to see each morning.

Now it's just a blank stare and the sight of once-bright skin turning light blue. He immediately shouted at the people around him to do something to help him save his wife.38Please respect copyright.PENANADlujlMzKEq

So that was what they did, but after a couple of minutes doing everything they can. It was already late, as it passed the time, declaring that lady Pellerelli has passed out for giving birth.
"T-this can't be, Lisa; please wake up, please."38Please respect copyright.PENANAFhacrpoOTm

The Lord begs and pleads for anything that will restore his wife's color, but the result is the same. The people who were watching this could only lower their heads in a way to show respect. One of the maids who was carrying the newborn gently put it beside the lady, but the Lord only glared at her.38Please respect copyright.PENANADl3OxrCpbu
38Please respect copyright.PENANAJwH5xpQ25p
"Don't you dare put that beside her! That thing is a curse!"
38Please respect copyright.PENANAVV7X03zY3J
"B-but my Lord!"
"Do you want to get fired?! Throw that thing away! I don't care! That thing killed my wife!"
The maid gently hugged the baby after hearing the lord's statement; yes, they knew that the Duke was rude, but to the point that his blaming an innocent baby for the cause of the lady's departure was very wrong.
So the maid decided to keep it to herself, but before leaving, she was stopped by the evening sun shining down the window, first at the baby and then at Lady Lisa.
Symbolizing that the baby should be placed near Lady Lisa, the maid knew that she wasn't the only one who saw that, so the Duke itself.
"Again, that thing is cursing her-!"
"No wait, my lord. Please, at least before I t-throw the baby out, Please let Lady Lisa hold it once even in her death."
The maid pleads; even if it costs her job, she feels that what she's doing is right.
"She only saw her but did not hold her. So please, my lord"
The maid was right; everyone else saw it as well before this tragedy occurred. As for the Lord, even though he didn't see it all, he thought about what the maid just said and knew how much his wife really wished to have a baby girl.
"Quickly do it, and after this, I want you and that thing to never step on this mansion again."
"Yes, my lord."
Placing the newborn child in lady Lisa's hand in a carry way, and people inside the room watching the baby curled in Lady Lisa's arms, they can't help but pray that something miraculous would happen. But nothing changes after a few minutes, and the kind lady has officially left, leaving them with the Duke.
And once, the Duke was about to call the maid to get the child and leave the mansion when the baby cried, and now that they think about it, the baby never cried, even when it was newly born.
Thus, with its cry, something miraculous happens, just as they prayed.
Right there, Lady Lisa was moving and was now hugging the baby while at the same time shushing it.
Once they heard lady Lisa's voice, it was time to announce that Lady itself has returned to them.
"Dear, look. Just like I prayed."
Once, she said this word to her husband. He immediately went to her side, checking to see if it was real, and when he confirmed it, he began to cry, repeating how sorry he was and how awful of a father he was.
"Why did something happen?" The lady asks at the same time that she feels like she isn't tired anymore.
"No, my Lisa, nothing at all... Thank you,"
It might look like it's referring to Lisa, but to some, it refers to the baby. Yeah, the Duke is officially the scumbag father of the year because he was about to kill an innocent child and then apologized.
But that would change once this new gem opened its eyes and realized where she was, because once she knew, she'd fucking change the setup.
"My Lisa, what do you want to call her?"
"Hmm, Y/N... "Y/N Pellereli, welcome home, my future gem."
