After the tiring day at the new school, Rosalia is so glad that she can leave finally. She can feel that she is skipping during her walk.

Due to her embarrassing behavior in the classroom earlier, she has already started hating this school. She always felt that the classmates are staring at her, and teasing her secretly. She never felt comfortable in the classroom. Frederick was not often staying with her too. Therefore, she always left alone to find somewhere quiet to stay. Finally, she noticed a small garden in the corner of the school. No one would like going there, so she could stay alone to enjoy her relaxing moments.

However, something strange happened. She always felt that someone was watching her, but when she looked around, she saw nothing. At first, she thought that he was Frederick. However, when she called out his name, no one responded. That made her feel weird. She still have not met any friends in this school, and she thought that she was not a beautiful and famous girl either. Why would someone notice her in a secret way? 

Despite her confusion, she was not really caring for this kind of thing. She just left it aside to continue enjoying her own time.

Frederick had something to talk to the principal, so he told me to wait him in the car. 

I sit inside and listen to the music until I see someone familiar outside the window. He is a young boy who are in the same school with her. His middle-length gold hair which is shining under the sunshine reminds her of someone. 

Alex...

No! He will not be in here! She immediately shakes off this thought and concentrates in her music.

Soon, Frederick finally comes out and enters the car.

" Master? Are you going back to the mansion? " 

" Yes, please. " He replies to the driver. Then, the car starts moving. Both Rosalia and him never speaks a word.

After going up to the highway, Rosalia finally gathers enough courage to ask Frederick a question. 

" Frederick? " 

He moves his gaze from the window to her eyes, which makes her more nervous. 

" Can I go to a normal high school instead of this? " 

She finally says it out.

His gaze gets more serious. " You don't like this school? " He asks coldly.

She nods when gripping her skirt nervously, and replies, " I feel really stressful when staying there alone. The others seem to be teasing me and gossiping me. I cannot withstand it more... " 

" I see. " His gaze is softened. He reaches his hand out unconsciously, and catches her one. This action startles her, making her face stain with a light pink.

" Don't worry, Rosalia. If you really feel in that way, I can never leave you alone so that I can always protect you from the others' gossips and insults. " 

Her heart is warm, just like being embraced by a soft blanket.

His expression looks so sincere. He seems not to be lying to her. However, he is her master. Why will he be willing to do this to her? She still cannot understand why he treats her so nice.

After a while, they arrive the mansion. Frederick allows her going back to her room to have a bath first before she goes to his room to start her works.

She skips to her room and enters the bathroom. There is already warm water inside the bathtub. She quickly takes off her uniform and her hair scrunchy, and soaks herself into the water.

She gives out a relax sigh after feeling the warmth ripple her whole body, removing all her fatigue. She stretches her limbs in the water when humming a melody in her mouth. 

It is a melody created by herself when she was a child. She remembered when she was in elementary school, she has had picnic with her teachers and classmates. However, she did not know why but went to a secret mansion alone. She saw a very beautiful garden there. When seeing that stunning view, she could not control herself but sang and danced among the flowers. 

This melody was created at that time.

Once she finishes her bathing time, she changes into a nightgown and goes up to Frederick's room.

After knocking the door to get permission, she enters and sits next to Frederick, who is sitting in front of the piano.

" Master, what do you want me to do for you now? " She asks politely.

His expression goes weird when hearing the word " Master". 

" Please do not call me master. It is strange when hearing it from your mouth. " A light pink blush appears on his cheek, but it quickly fades away.

" So what do you want me to call you? Mr. Sterling? Frederick? " 

His gaze slowly moves away to the window. " You may call me Fred... " 

" Oh... " She gets confused. If she calls him that, doesn't their relationship sound close? However, she should not refuse her master's request. 

" Yes, Fred. " She murmurs.

She can see a pink color on his cheek, but she can never tease her own master.

" So what should I do now? " 

" I heard you hum a song when you were bathing, right? " He suddenly asks.

Her face immediately flushes into a bright red color. She flinches and accidentally slips down the chair. When she is about to hit the floor, she is caught by him and pulled into his cuddle. When they soon discover their close distance, Rosalia pushes him away at once and steps away from him.

She puts her arms on top of her chest with a blushing face, " What? ! You were outside when I was bathing?! Pervert! " 

" What? " He stands up and stares at her, and yells, " I just went to your bedroom to see whether you finished bathing. I just thought, why you were taking so long on bathing. And I even thought that you got drowned. Therefore, I entered to check you. " 

Rosalia widens her eyes when blushing even red. " Everyone should know, girls take more time on bathing... " She murmurs softly when sits back next to him.

" But anyway... Thank you for worrying about me. " 

He smiles, but he hides it quickly. " Your song is good... You created it? " He changes the topic quickly.

She raises her eyebrows in amusement. " You think too? I never thought that I could hum a nice melody like this... " 

She tells him everything she encountered in that secret mansion. After listening to it, he cannot help but smiles. She really never forgot that incident. Maybe she will still remember him...? 

" Do you mind if I help you to modify this melody? " He asks.

Her eyes lighten up when hearing this. " Really? Sure of course! Thank you, Fred! " A bright smile appears on her face, soothing the male's heart.

He smiles back and concentrates on the piano. Then, he starts pressing the keys and creating a beautiful melody. 

Rosalia enjoys this melody so much as she starts closing her eyes with a smile.

When he notices the smile on her face, he cannot help but concentrates more on the piano. He wants to make a perfect song to her. Not only is it a soothing melody, but it also includes their memories...

None of them notices a sweet atmosphere which is surrounding them with the music notes...

" This is a song for you, Rosalia... "
