System: Daily login!!, jackpot on the first day!!! Chapter 165: chapter 165- Linda's backstory

After that short confrontation between Taufik and Caldwell, Taufik follows them back to Archeart castle.

They didn't talk too much around the way to Archeart Castle because Caldwell fainted because he lost too much blood, and Amanda was always on Caldwell's side. Taufik also didn't want to talk right away because his mind was full of other things, so all the way to Archeart Castle there was only silence inside the car.

And without them realizing it, they already arrived at Archeart Castle.

"Young sir, You can rest first in the room that I have prepared... I will send the servant when lunch is ready"

Said Arden Archeart while calling so servant to guide Taufik to the Room.

"I'm Good, no need to go to that extant... I will just relax by the lake, just take care of Caldwell's wounds"

Taufik said, and without waiting for any Answers, Taufik directly walked to the lake.

# A/N- "It is Loch Ness Bay the way, and for better reference, just search *Urquhart Castle on Google Maps or whatever"

"Eh? But young sir-...

Arden Archeart tries to stop Taufik, but Taufik already walks far away.

... Alright, I will send the servant when the lunch is ready"

Said Arden Archeart in a slightly loud voice so that Taufik could hear him, Taufik didn't Answer him and kept walking toward the bench by the lake.

------------

"Prince and Princess... D'Archy... They look like they were around my age... Is it just Coincidence? No, D'Archy Is Not a Common Na... But if it's not a Coincidence, then...

Doesn't it an I am also a Prince? What the heck is Family am I In? My Father is the remains of a great warrior from a Tribe and Now my mother might be a princess? what the hell?"

Said Taufik as he sat on the beach by the lake while looking at the lake.

"Hmm~...

Humd Taufik as he felt soone approach him.

... What are you doing here, not on your brother's side?"

"Hehe~ He's wound is not that serious, and also... I am quite curious about your origin"

Said The person who was Amanda.

"I haven't introduced myself, have I? My Na is Amanda Alexandra D'Archy, is nice to et you"

Said Amanda to Taufik while extending her hands for a handshake. Taufik took a while to look at Amanda before deciding to take Amanda's hand.

"... Taufik, Taufik D'Archy Hidayat"

Taufik said short.

"So it's Indeed D'Archy...

Amanda Said and then also sat on the Beach before he looked at Taufik with eyes full of curiosity.

... Who is that na from? Your father or your mother?"

"... My Mother"

Hearing Taufik say That Amanda's eyes lit up as if she knew sothing.

"Your Mother, who's her Na? Who is it?!"

Ask Amanda Again In a hurried Tone while holding Taufik's two hands with her own two Hands.

"... Why do you need to know that? And Your Hands... Please?"

Taufik asked back and then looked at Amanda's hands that still held his hands.

"A-ahh~ Sorry~...

Said Amanda while letting go of Taufik's hands.

... Sorry for asking so private questions like that so suddenly... It's Just...

Said Amanda again while looking at Taufik with a Nostalgic Gaze, but then she shook her head and began to look down.

...Actually, When I Look at your Face closely like this, it Reminds of soone I used to know when I was around five or Six years old, I didn't rember it well enough but it is a mory that sticks in my mind and I will never forget it, because it is a precious mory for , for both and my brother... Ahh~ Sorry, is it okay for to tell so story?

I don't know why, but I have a feeling that I should tell you this story. Is it okay?"

"... I'm Good"

Taufik said briefly once again, Because he also felt the sa way, he had felt sothing since he t the two of them before, it was the sa feeling he felt when he was about to et with Tina, it's also the feeling that let him know that the one who inside the coffin was Tina, is that so kind of feeling.

"Okay, I won't beat around the bush anymore... It happened twenty-one years ago, as I said, at that ti, Caldwell, my brother, and I were five or six years old... Ahh~ We are twins, by the way...

At that ti we had an aunt, she was my Father's younger sister, and she was the youngest of three siblings, Our aunt was the one who received the most affection in the family at that ti, whether it was from my father and our uncle, with her cheerful nature she was easily loved and so were we at that ti, we loved her very much, but she had a shortcoming, only one, which was that she couldn't use magic because her Mana core was disabled, that was all"

"..."

Hearing the word "cheerful" from Amanda's mouth, Taufik began to doubt that the person was his mother because the figure of his mother that he knew was a person who was far from cheerful.

"... So what happened to her?"

"She... One day, She left us. I don't know what the reason is, but I know my father knows it because The day before our aunt left, I accidentally saw her eting my father.

At that ti, I thought it was nothing, because I was used to seeing my aunt talking with my father or my uncle, so I just thought it was normal, But how surprised we were when we found out that my aunt had left without saying goodbye to us, You need to know, our house is guarded tightly by guards so soone can't co in and out of there without permission, this is also what makes even more convinced that our aunt's departure could have happened because of help from my father or my uncle, I have asked my uncle or my father about this, but they never wanted to answer, and when I tried to find out about my aunt, where she is or how she is now, my father and my uncle always obstructed as if they had an agreent with my aunt in advance...

I am sure that our eting may not be a coincidence... maybe this is the answer to the prayer that I have been praying... so if you don't mind, can I know your mother's na?"

"..."

Taufik didn't say anything after hearing what Amanda said, he tried to digest every word Amanda said deeply, and Amanda was also silent while looking at Taufik with a look full of hope, hope that what she was thinking right now was true.

"Her Na was...

---------------

- Japan, Garden of Tokugawa Family Manor.

In that Garden, only Linda, Jenn, Kaela, Anugerah, and Rani can be seen. Alice is playing with Lembuswana and Shasha, and the Tokugawa Family is also having a family eting right now, so they can talk freely without anyone being able to hear their conversation.

"... WHAT?!! you're a princess, Mother?"

Jenn said in surprise as she heard what just Linda said. Not only her but Kaela, Anugerah, and Rani were also surprised.

After they wake up until the ti they send Taufik off, Jenn and the others realize the strange atmosphere between Taufik and Linda and After continuously pressuring Linda to tell them what happened in the dining room that morning while they were still fast asleep, Linda finally gives in and tells them about her past.

"Ex...

Ex-Princess, I already left the royal Family a long ti ago, My actual Na is Rosalinda Alexandra D'Archy, and when I left ho I changed My Na to RossLinda D'Archy, actually, I also wanted to remove the "D'Archy" Part from my Na, because with only that, Everyone will easily recognize , but my Two Brother ask to keep that Nama as Exchange to help ran from ho and cover up my existence, it is also so that they can easily know my condition"

"... But, Mother, why did you run out of ho if you living a life that Many people would sacrifice to be in that position?"

Anugerah ask.

"... My Mother... The Queen Arranged my marriage, a political Marriage with the Prince from Denmark, He told that that was the value I had as soone who couldn't use magic, and even though I had tried very hard to cover up that deficiency by doing what I can do as an ordinary person in a family full of extraordinary people... But it seed that hard work alone wouldn't be enough...

you know how much my heart hurt at that ti... my own mother, the person I respect the most herself said that to , to her own Daughter... that day I imdiately talked to my two older siblings and fortunately my two older siblings agreed to help because I couldn't get out of that palace by myself, but with the condition as I said before"

Linda said with a sad face, seeing this Jenn and the others were silent for a while, until Rani decided to break the silence by asking.

"But... Why you don't wanna Taufik to know about this, Mom?"

"that's probably because Taufik wouldn't just stay silent after hearing that; you know how he is, right?"

Kaela answered instead of Linda, and hearing this they all nodded in understanding.

"That was one of the reasons, I didn't tell him this because I didn't want him to be burdened with this, because I don't consider myself a mber of the royal family anymore, so just let bygones be bygones, and my Husband also respect this choice of mine after I told him my back story when we still dating, so I thought my choices were the right choices, so swear to that you will not tell Taufik about this, okay?"

""Okay... ""

Jenn, Kaela, Anugerah, and Rani said at the sa ti, After that, silence enveloped the Garden again, with only Alice's laughter being heard from a distance.

*Clap!*

Jenn suddenly clapped her hands to break the silence and looked at Linda with a smile.

"Forget about that, Mother, and Let's Talk about how you t Taufik's Father; I was curious about How he could woo you, who was an Ex-Princess, which may also be a legacy, seeing how his son ended up with a Princess and even a Queen"

Said Jenn as she eyed Rani and Anugerah.

"You wanted to know that too?"

""Yes!""

Answers all of them again at the sa ti which made Linda let out a sigh.

"...Well, since we've co this far, I might as well tell you guys about it, seeing as how you won't let go until I tell you that, am I right?"

Said Linda, who only got a smile from Jenn and the others as Answers.

That day, Linda and the others spent their day talking about Linda's story, which made them only grow closer than before.
