My Bothersome Life 98 Field Trip 2

'A waterfall! I must jump in it,' I thought as I went crazy from suffering under the burning sun.

I spotted a tall waterfall right beside the cliff we were on as the trail was paved near one of the cliffs of the mountain. I walked staggeringly towards the source of water as I wished to free myself from the hot weather.

'The waterfall is only about 30 metres high anyways,' I observed to see how many metres I would have to climb again to get to this spot.

"Rika!" Ellen screamed as I jumped towards the waterfall from the edge of the cliff.

'So nice,' I thought as the soft water patted my back as I fell down.

I anticipated a big splash once I got into the river, however I found myself inside a shallow pond.

'Huh? Where am I?' I thought as the water only reached my knees.

I found myself in front of a big grey castle made out of stones rather than bricks. There was a big fancy carriage quite a distance away from the me that sat inside a pond. The girls that got off the carriage wore big puffy gowns while the boys greeting the girls wore traditional military uniforms.

"Wasn't I supposed to be on a mountain?" I voiced my thoughts out loud.

"Who knew there would be a teleportation gate there?" Cillian sounded surprised.

I turned to see Luke and Cillian right behind me. As usual, Luke was smiling stiffly while Cillian had a bit of curiosity in his eyes.

"Where are you here?" I asked Cillian and Luke.

"Luke jumped right after you jumped off the cliff as he tried to follow you," Cillian teased Luke who already looked terribly mad.

"Well, at least we're still in the first district," I tried to convince myself when my surroundings resembled a medieval landscape.

Everyone wore old fashion clothes like it was a movie set based on the 1800s in my past life. There were no signs of glass or plastic as it was replaced with stones and metals to build the sturdy houses and castles. From what I could tell, there was no evidence that I was still in the first district.

"We're in the fifth district," Luke crossed his arms after getting out of the pond.

"What! No way," I tried to deny.

"Well then how would you explain the reason for the appearance of our surroundings?" Cillian mockingly asked me.

Before I could reply, a group of knights came running towards us wearing a military uniform. "Intruders! How did you get inside the mansion of the Suilett family?" the leader of the group asked aggressively.

"I think you're misunderstanding something here," Cillian attempted to explain to the knights.

"This is the younger brother and future sister-in-law of the future heir of the Suilett family. How else would they possess such fine clothes?" Cillian attempted to convince the knights.

"That is true. Look at what they're wearing," A knight pointed out to his leader.

The leader of the knights nodded after studying us closely. "I apologize, please come this way inside the castle."

The knights escorted us inside the castle and called for the butler. A old man with his nicely parted white hair wearing sleek glasses in his black and white uniform came to greet us after we were handed towels to dry ourselves.

"I will tell young master Lucius and lady Belle of your visit when they come home from their outing," the butler narrowed his eyes as he seemly didn't buy the explanation of the knights.

"I believe that we're now in the fifth district," I faced Cillian exploring the castle with his eyes while Luke stayed silent.

Luke sat in the couch near the crackling fireplace while Cillian and I touched and moved the unique antiques that decorated the room.

'So this is how people lived in the old days,' I thought while looking at the oil paintings that smelled foul.

"I thought you were supposed to be climbing a mountain?" A adolescent boy wearing a frilly top with nice trousers paired with shiny leather boots stepped into the room with a girl wearing a puffy pink dress decorated with jewels with moderate heels.

"The teleportation gate in the middle of a river in the mountain brought us here," Luke answered while getting closer to the fireplace to dry his hair.

"It's such a coincidence that you guys fell into a teleportation gate to the fifth district when we just happened to be on a mission here!" Belle excitedly said as she seemed ignorant of the heavy atmosphere of the room.

Belle grabbed onto my hand to drag me out the room, "Let's get you changed!"

Belle called for the maids while pushing me inside her room. When the maids came, Belle stepped out to give the maids the space to do their work.

Belle's closets only had dresses and more puffy dresses filled with petticoats and jewels that decorated them. I sighed as all of the dresses looked absolutely horrid (even more than the ones I wore during social week).

"Here's the dresses that lady Belle wore when she was younger," the head maid recommended me a frilly puffy pastel yellow dress decorated with laced ribbons.

I reluctantly changed into the first dress that the head maid showed me as the other maids worked on detangling my hair and putting on fancy accessories to complement my dress.

When I finally re-entered the room after two hours of the maids' hard work, Luke and Cillian were already sitting on the patted fancy chairs. I laughed as Luke and Cillian were wearing a frilly blouse with a ribbon decorated with jewels and sleek trousers paired to long boots that made them look hilarious while giving out a hint of femininity.

I sat down on a chair across from them as I tried to suppress my laughter while everyone was already seated as tea was being served by Belle as the servants were sent out of the room when I entered the room.

When everyone got comfortable in their seats, Lucius sternly announced, "we came here because a war is going to start in the fifth district."

HUH? What was happening?
