The Sa Night at the Screeching Villa…
A beautifully adorned carriage ca riding under the moons shade and approached the villa. The guards, already familiar with it and under certain orders for it, let it in without much checking.
The carriage stopped before the doorsteps of the main house. The carriage door opened and a gentlemanly looking person stepped down. But this person didn't have the calm aura one would expect, instead he looked quite anxious.
This person was Vaughn Queeney, the older brother of Potonia Queeney and the sole heir of the Queeney House.
The person strode in with powerful steps and called out loudly, "Potonia!"
anwhile inside the house, Potonia was walking back and forth as her face was filled with unknown fear and sweat.
She had gotten notice that her older and nauseating brother would make a 'visit' today.
The word 'visit' sounded normal to any other and would think that it was just that, a simple visit.
But Potonia didn't mistake the word and knew what it really is.
Her brother didn't co to make a social call, he was here to see progress and by that, she ant the progress of her seduction.
In simpler terms, how far had she taken influence upon Henry and could use him.
But she wasn't worried about that particular answer… yet it was that annoying situation which curbed her.
Potonia, in her absentmindedness, looked down at the floor with a downtrodden figure while biting on her nails.
'What the hell am I going to tell that guy?!'
'Vaughn, I couldn't get anything from Henry but I was able to give my body as you suggested.'
'Even if I couldn't make any progress with Henry, I could at least bicker before but what am I going to say now? Vaughn would look for nothing but the results, and what's happening is so bizarre that I don't even know how to tell him.'
'Not just him, anyone would look at weirdly if they knew it.'
'What? You ca to seduce the guy, but instead of doing that, you let yourself get fucked and freely at that?!' Thinking up to such, Potonia's face paled further.
The close maids of Potonia also seed worried.
"Madam, please be calm. Master Vaughn may not co for that. You needn't caught yourself so hard."
"Oh, Shut up!" Potonia said, "Coming at such a ti, I've got be an idiot to think he's here to just check up on ."
The maids looked troubled and all tried their best to calm their madam. It wasn't because they cared about her, heck, they didn't even like Potonia.
Potonia was a bad person and they knew it. But she was also their keeper, wherever she would be, would be their ho. And whatever her problems would be, it would fall on them too.
In her anger, she could do sothing and would put the bla on them later. And being simple commoners with no ho or support, they would get gobbled up.
The maids weren't exaggerating with their thoughts; it had happened before. Potonia put bla on her maids for her mistakes and always got away with it, its most likely to happen again.
So if they couldn't tell their worries, they weren't going to sit down and wait for tragedy to strike, they were going to help themselves.
And if nothing else works… at least make sure, they aren't the ones who gets the bla.
"Potonia!"
Potonia's eyes flickered up in fright. Hearing her brothers loud tone, her already gripping worries, tightened up on her.
In fear she looked around for help, looking at her own maids and the Tax servants who were simply enjoying the show. At least she felt a bit reassured as her maids cald her and she ca up with one option.
Lie her ass off!
What? She should tell the truth before it gets muddled?
Brother, have you been seen the truth?
"Potonia"
This ti the call was low and she heard her brother's steps behind her.
Potonia cleared her tone and quickly wiped her face before turning around and giving a strained smile, "Vaughn, you are here. Why don't you sit down and take a drink first brother?"
Vaughn on the other hand, was dismissive, "With what's happening, how can I stay calm about it?" Even though he said so, the guy sat down on a single couch and flicked his fingers at the servants to bring him sothing.
"What! Yo- You know?" Potonia, who was scared, beca alard at that, "H- How could you know already?" She said as her mind couldn't think up such a possibility.
She was sure, her and Henry's matter shouldn't have caught attention. Then Potonia's eyes turned to her own maids with a chilling gaze.
The Maid's were confused themselves and seeing their madam's gaze, they quickly shook their heads and denied the bla.
"Do you think I am powerless? That I wouldn't even be learn of sothing so big." A servant arrived and Vaughn whisked the drink and sipped without checking, the fresh liquid cooling his strung expression, "I should have heard sooner and not by those bastards at the bars."
"Them? There are others?" Potonia's felt conflicted, how the hell did others know about it? Did Henry spread it?
"Not just them… everybody." Vaughn shook his head and sighed, "Everybody knew about it before I did. Do you know how foolish that makes seem?"
"Everybody?!" Potonia stood up in shock.
Vaughn didn't answer her and talked by himself, "My own familial matter, everybody knew about it before . Damn, you should have told sooner, Potonia!"
Potonia's mind was so disturbed yet confused, that she didn't know what to feel, "I'm sorry… I didn't know what to say…"
Her face was cloudy as she slowly felt reality crashing down on her.
Potonia's reputation, standing, connections… all fell down without her even knowing how it fucking happened. The mont was so astounding that Potonia wanted to pull out her hair and silently gave a shrill cry.
"To think that it would involve the court and her majesty."
"Even the Queen knows about it?!" Potonia gave her brother a look of 'What the fuck, did ya just say?'.
Vaughn gave a slow nod, "Not only that, but there was the trial of combat… Damn, how could I miss sothing like that?"
Now it beca confusing, "Trial by… Vaughn… what exactly is the fuck you are speaking of?"
Vaughn gave a squinting gaze at her, "What else? I'm talking about the matter regarding Henry Van Tax and the Dragonoir's… why are you looking at like that?... Did you also not know?!"
Potonia shook her head and then Vaughn told her all about it.
The more she learned, the more open her jaw beca.
"He- Henry… killed him?!"
Vaughn nodded slowly and sighed again, "Damn… how could I miss sothing so important!" The guy really wanted to see a good fight.
"Are you stupid, Vaughn!" Potonia scread as her face beca ashen, "Do you know how fucked we are?!"
"Because of the Dragonoir's?" Potonia nodded but Vaughn looked calm, "Don't worry about it… rather, it's actually good for us."
"How can it be good? They are the Dragonoir's for fucks sake." Potonia saw how things pointed towards the Dragonoir's and wondered if her brother mind resorted to stupidity.
Vaughn smiled at her reaction, "Relax, we're not the ones in trouble here, Henry is." He leaned down, "And this is just the perfect opportunity for us to bite."
Potonia squeezed her brows but couldn't speak as suddenly a servant ca barging inside with a horrified expression.
"T- The Master… Lord Henry has been arrested!"
