The Grass Wishes to be Emerald
How would you define your worth?
My name is Cassey Timmerhaus, a seventeen year- old noble daughter, whose goal is to find my worth and guarantee my own happiness. In worth comes opportunities, in opportunities comes wealth, in wealth comes love, in love comes happiness, and in happiness, I can die blissfully. But the path to self- realization was harder than I presumed. The unfathomable range of emotions, the twisted justice to prove yourself righteous, the betrayals, the sinful encounters and the fight for the honorable seat, are things I never expected but had to experience.
"To honor your family is the noblest thing. How could you fail in such a task as easy as breathing?" I faced countless humiliation and disgrace; degraded by the people I call family.
"I am sorry, but how could we dare tarnish a lady's hand by making her work for us, mere commoners? Surely she wasn't casted away to be like this. For a noble like her, it would be better to starve than sweat her palms." The rejections from those who once respected me ruined my valued trust.
She once said that in this endless pit of woes, thy love shall save me. But, I doubt that. Even if I have love, will I be able to make it last? Will I be able to make him stay? Will I ever be worth of such fortune, when I am just a grass?

Chapter: Special Chapter 40.1 - CasseyA woman's thoughts are complex. But Cassey's are endless. Her mind is a bottomless pit and her ideas flow unceasingly like a river. There is no end to it.She writes a poem in the morning, a prose after an afternoon nap and a few words before she goes to bed. She is drawn to her own words, to her own world. When she was a young kid, she thought that a pen contains nicotine because it is too addicting, although during that time she was not even sure what a nicotine was. She just heard it from the older men in the manor.Her friends love her tales. Lieughan especially loved her romantic novels. She often requests Cassey to think of her as the main character, and lately, she has been begging Cassey for the hero to have the "shell" of a Febrez, which basically means the usual appearance and physical characteristics of a Febrez man, especially their red streaks hair. Cassey obliges to her requests because she finds it cute how her friend uses her novels to feed her fantasies about Markus (

Chapter: XL. Dinner Interrogation An insignificant place. That was how aristocrats think and talk about the farmlands. Only when the genius prodigy, Liracynthia Maharlika, taught the upper class how significant the farmlands are to the nation’s economy that it is finally recognized as one, as a significant place. However, there are still people who hate the smell of grasses, including the genius prodigy herself – Duchess Liracynthia Morelli.“Lira, why are you scratching your skin aggressively?”“Because it itches me! Where is that girl, how dare she come late to my dinner?”That second aunt gulped heavily as she caressed Akoi’s back, who was raging with anger and annoyance towards the duchess.‘She is speaking as if she never lived in the farmlands before, what a b*tchy hypocrite.’Just then, the bell of the front gate rang. “I am going to open the gates. Excuse me.”“Yes, and please usher that b*tch too!”Akoi then stormed her way out.“Ahh, this stresses me out. I should have not…”“Even if she is your daughter, y

Chapter: XXXIX. Promises are MadeCassey was panting aggressively as she sat down in Cai’s new couch.“What did you just say?”“I said, MY MOTHER WANTS TO MEET THE BOTH OF US!”Cai gasped and plopped beside her. She leaned onto her shoulders and stretched his arms to wrap around her waist.“But we should not be scared right, since we have nothing to be scared of?”The lady patted his hair which made him close his eyes.“Yes, that is the true. But nevertheless, we need to be more than prepared, Cai. My mother is the duchess of Morelli, and I am only a commoner now. I need to have the confidence she was missing when I was a noble’s daughter.”Cai loosened from the hug and stared at Cassey.“Then we should prepare right away!”They heard a growl. Cassey awkwardly smiled and caressed her tiny stomach.“Maybe we should have lunch first?”“I guess you are right.”-“Cai, do I look fine with this?”Cassey asked as she played with the silky balloon skirt.“Mhm. It really suits you.”“Pfft… You are not even looking Cai.”Cai s

Chapter: XXXVIII. Respect the Couple's DecisionCai walked through the silent corridors. He reached his house unit but he noticed how the door was unlocked. He slowly squeezed the knob and…“Greetings Lady… Oh, it was actually you, Cassey.”Cassey turned around and faced him.“I am really sorry for barging in, Cai. I really need to talk to you about something, but you seem to be late so I just unlocked it. You know, I am a little scared of staying outside for too long.”Cai just smiled.“It is fine. We are soon to be married, so I guess it should be fine to give you the right to enter whenever you need to. Well, what brings you here?”“I missed you.”Cai flinched and his legs weakened.“Pardon me?”Cassey sat straight and stared at his eyes.“I missed you, Cai.”Cai doubted his ears. Since when did Cassey became like this?“I know I am soon to be your wife, but I was so busy with work and other stuffs. I did a good work, so the Tradiskano rewarded me with a vacation.”The Tradiskano allows employees to have a vacation? That sounds

Chapter: XXXVII. ConstantThe sunrise was a pleasing sight to Cai. It reminds him of a new day, and a new day is a new hope. He needs tons of hope and patience for his business.“I really hope the Amadeos will help me this time. It is very difficult doing everything by my own.”He then placed his documents carefully on his bag, and squeezed the knob of the door. When he is finally outside, he noticed that Cassey’s door is locked from the outside.“How strange... Did she go to work so early?”Maybe... That could be possible.So with that thought on his mind, Cai departed.Unbeknownst to him, Cassey never went home last night at all.“The report is impressive and well-written. I am grateful to you for your sincere cooperation, Lady Cassey.”Cassey never replied to the excited claims of her boss, the Tradiskano. She is mentally sleeping with her eyes wide open.“Have you eaten breakfast yet?”She snapped at the word ‘breakfast.’ The Tradiskano chuckled and grabbed the tele communicator.“Wow, what an advanced tec

Chapter: XXXVI. Back to TrackAs birds chirped, Cassey lifted her head and sighed heavily. Her back hurts from carrying a bundle of woods back and forth. The sun is high up, but she was unable to rest even for a minute.“Cassey Maharlika!”And finally, the call she was waiting for…When she receives the money, she plans on spending half of it for a cup of rice with sauteed vegetables, and half will be allotted for a humble dinner at an inn.“I am here.”“Oh, Cassey Maharlika. The former…?”The madame tilted her head, and Cassey knew what she was going to say next.‘Detainee.’A word that is always linked to her. She feels bad for it, but never complained even once. As long as she could eat three times a day, those things could never hurt her. So, she just accepts it, out of desperation and exhaustion.“Yes, I am.”“Well, you see… That mister over there is looking for you.”Cassey followed the direction the madame was pointing. Then she had a glimpse of a familiar back profile. She just stared at his back, until th
