Country R
Veronica just arrived at her maternal ancestral castle. Her mother, Celerina was a descendant of a Country R Czar and the prestige of the family was maintained due to her mother's only and older brother, Bien.
The butler of the castle was waiting outside to serve the just arrived young madame. "Good afternoon young madame. How was your flight?"
Veronica smiled softly at the old butler who she had grown very closed to. "It was fine, Leo. Where are my parents?"
"Glad to hear that young madame. Your parents, the madame and master along with the young master Baelfire and young miss Baelfair were in the living area. Also-"
Butler Leo didn't get the chance to add that one of her persistent suitors was also with them as Veronica was already at the castle's grand door.
Walking to the receiving area, Veronica heard a man's strict voice while nearing the living area of the castle. "Fire, you make sure that you won't do that again. Understood?"
Long silence. "Fire?"
"Yes uncle Victor." Came the unusual meek voice of Fire. "Good."
Veronica frowned in complete anger. The mother fucker Victor has the guts to reprimand her own son? Who does he think he is?! Yes, he was her Uncle Bien's right hand's son and has been consistent and persistent with wooing her but she never ever gave him even the slightest chance of hope. Now he's thinking that he has the right to reprimand her children just because her Uncle and parents were nice to him?
"How brave of you." Veronica said with a cold voice as she piercely looked at the man. "Mom!!" Exclaimed the twins right after seeing her. She looked at their terrified faces and and
her blood boiled to a hundred degrees that if her children were not around, she could have shot
the man in his brain, bullseye.
"Veronica, you finally arrived?! I didn't expect that you would come home early. You should have called so I could have fetched you." Victor was smiling confidently. So what if she heard him reprimanding her son? She's going to be his wife someday and her kids will also be his responsibility. Better to teach them as early as possible to instill them discipline and respect.
"Who and what are you?" Veronica replied through gritted teeth.
