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: XXX. We Finally MetWho…?He was a long-built kid. His eyes are deep blue, like the depths of an abyss no one has ever touched. Those eyes are not as brilliant as Ashanti’s but they shine on their own.“You have been staring for a while.”Cassey flinched. His voice was deeper than anyone else, but she felt it was really familiar. It must be because she met him already before.“I am sorry. This humble servant could not help but stare at your eyes.”He lifted the end of his lips.“I know who you are, and that you are not a humble servant just like what you claim to be. So, be at ease, Lady. We are here for a cooperation.”“It seems that you have known each other already.”“We haven’t, Headmistress.”“The lady was right. It was

Chapter: XIX. Meeting WhoCassey woke up in a room.“Mom?”‘Who is calling me, Mom?’“Mom, please this is Harley...”“Harley?”Cassey suddenly remembered everything when she heard of the child’s name. It was her pupil’s name. But she had one thing to worry.“What happened to me, Harley?”“You don’t remember at all, Mom?”“You passed out on the streets, Mom. People keep saying that you are just acting but you were definitely knocked out.”The child who answered was Torus.“Before passing out, what happened to me?”They suddenly went silent.“We really don’t know Mom, because someone is chasing us.”“Chasing you?”‘They were the thieves?’Torus noticed Cassey’s hesitant glance.“Mom, we are not thieves. Promise, we are not thieves. Tho

Chapter: XXIII. On The Way“Navis?”The child who was just grumpily stomping her feet earlier suddenly turned into a happy lamb.“Mom?”Cassey was flustered being called ‘mom’ in front of everyone, especially when all her pupils looked at her with such sparkling eyes and wagged their tails like cute doggies.“Ah, uhm, she calls me ‘mom’ because I fed her.”“You fed her, mom?”Now how should Cassey explain to these poor young children that she was called ‘mom’ for a really trivial thing?“Yes, she called me ‘mom’ for feeding them.”“So you were the woman who gave her the seeds?”“The angel who bought us meat!”“The hero who named Navis!”“A dragon tamer!”“Wait that’s a bit... if the clergy heard that I might be punished to death.”“She is our

Chapter: XXVII. New World“Please come in, Miss Cassey.”Cassey followed the woman closely. She was astonished by the grand water fountain in the front yard.‘It was like that of the nobles. It was strangely fascinating.’“Miss Cassey, if you listened carefully, the facilities of this orphanage is not a complex one. You can easily navigate around and if you need something else, my office is in the last room. You understand, Miss Cassey?”Cassey gulped once and faced the Madame.“Yes I do, Ma’am.”“Good. You will be called Miss Cama, short for Cassey Maharlika. It would be much appreciated if you don’t mention your full name unless necessary. The orphans may not be able to read, but their ears can hear very well. You know what I am talking about, right?”Cassey smiled in silence.“I do understand, Ma’am. I am Miss Cama, the new teacher.”The woman grinned.

Chapter: XXVI. Dinner (?) Dinner was set in an intimate space, where the lights are low and the violin is playing high.On the table awaits the two early birds, Cassey and Cai.“Shall I serve you some water, Signor?”Cai nodded and talked with the blushing attendant. This saddens Cassey, who was obviously recognized and ignored by the worker.‘She does not talk to me nor ask for my opinions because she is hostile to a former detainee.’What she had thought was indeed true. As the attendant returned to the pantry to fill the goblets with lukewarm water, the other attendants went near her.“So how was she?”She rolled her eyes.“Even a working peasant like me could easily defeat her. Imagine the horror I felt when I saw her monstrous black eyes staring at me, and her pale lips curving a smile for me. I pity for the illegitimate Febrez who dined with her.”“You should have seduced him. That vixen

Chapter: Special Chapter 25.2: One Month Ago, by CaiHis mother sat on a shabby settee, drinking a glass of water.“Do you feel well now?”The deep voice of her son is full of worries, so the woman showed him a smile that is obviously strained by her own anxiety.“You do not.”Her son is not as oblivious as she thinks.“The head of the family came to your bedchambers last night, right?”The mother can’t speak.“He came to check my condition, Cai. He even gave me gifts from his recent voyage. I shall show you.”His mother hurriedly placed the cup of water on the settee, and rushed to get the boxes piled in the doorway.“Here, look! These are the jewelries he got from his business trip in Cravini. This is the new watch your father has bought for you! Just look at the huge diamond in the center. Don’t you think this is the best in the world? Your father loved us that much!”Her son sighed looking a
