"Eyes down," I told Tracy as I stared at the book Hael gifted . The cover was pretty interesting. The flower in the girl's hand was being violated. Wonder what that ans? I guess I'll find out when I read it.
"My Lady," Tracy said, "Your father has called you for dinner."
I put the book down as a frown appeared on my face, "My father?" I looked at my maid, "Has called for dinner?"
"Yes," She kept her eyes down, "Your brother is back."
!!!
"Ah," So Hubert is back but that doesn't explain why father is calling to have dinner with them. I've never been called to dinner before, "Fine," I stood up, "I'll be there." I have a bad feeling about this. Nothing really goes well when I et my family.
"Yes," She bowed and left the room. Funny, I thought she would do sothing to retaliate back but so far, nothing has been done.
I walked to the mirror to check my appearance. My hair felt a little out of space so I grabbed the comb and tad them down.
Did sothing happen during this ti in the past? I can't seem to rember it right.
I walked towards the door
Well, I guess I'll find out once I go there. It's bound to be sothing, there is no way they're calling just to et but since Hubert is back, there should be so really delicious dinner served tonight. He's very picky with food, so at the very least, I'll get to eat nice.
As I walked through the corridor and turned the corner, I almost hit soone
!!!
"AH!" Good thing I was able to react fast and stopped myself in ti. But when I looked up to see who it was, my heart fell.
Hubert.
Right, if he's back ho, his room is just around the corner. He spared a glance, then turned around to walk away without a word. His gaze was cold and so was his aura. We were going in the sa direction, to the sa place, but I didn't follow right behind him.
He has never liked being close, so I waited till he started descending the stairs and then began to walk slowly so the distance between us wouldn't diminish.
I watched from far away as he greeted the others, the maids, the staff, and how calm and nice he was being with them but he would never show that kind of side to .
My brother blad for the death of our mother.
Why?
Because she started to grow weak after giving birth to . This is perhaps also the reason why my father hates . They must believe they could have been the perfect family if I hadn't been born. Childbirth did take a toll on my mother's body, or that is what the doctors said, so ultimately, I was the only thing that could be blad.
But, soone tell ,
Just how is that my fault? I did not choose to be born, it was my parent's choice, yet I'm the villain?
I watched from far away as Hubert entered the dining hall and I paused for a few monts when I reached it.
If I think about it, what I had beco in the past was all because of my own family.
They created the pathetic monster that I was.
I took a deep breath and walked into the dining room. Father was sitting on the head chair and Hubert took his place beside him.
I spared them a glance, "Good evening, father," I made a courteous bow, "Good evening, brother," I raised my head and began to walk towards my chair without waiting for a reply back because I knew it wasn't coming.
I sat down on my designated chair that was a little further from theirs but it didn't really bother now. I had already accepted it all, but when I did sit down, I noticed there was nothing on the table in front of
No plates, no glass, no utensils.
"You're not eating here," Hubert said and I raised my head to look at him, "I only had you called here to give you the news."
I know I should be used to it, but the attitude and the words stung like icy cold arrows. I looked at my father and he agreed, "That's right, it's sothing important that you need to hear. You can eat in your room."
I guess no matter how immune one person wants to be, it will always hurt when family treats you like shit.
"Yes," I looked down at my empty table.I can't believe I thought I'd eat so nice stuff today... I got my stomach rumbling for no reason...
"You," Hubert said in his cold voice, "You're getting engaged to the third prince in a few days."
I paused
...
Then my eyes went wide with shock.
"What?"
