"You see Fire!? I was right, righ?!" Fair's bubbly and happy voice is ironically the exact opposite of her sinister and evil eyes. Contrary to everyone's knowledge, Fair has another hidden genius character in her, her "two-facedness".
And with her being a blabbermouth and bubbly character would make it hard for anyone to believe that deeply hidden , she's a scheming young girl, except to Baelfire as they are twins and are very close.
"Thanks. Now instead of reprimanding me for hacking our suspected father's company system, Mom instead spent time consoling us. I felt guilty though." Fire replied in monotone.
"Hmm, Fair felt guilty too! But I don't like that man. He's hideous and I know very well that his intention with mother was never pure. Unfortunately for him, he's just scheming, while Fair's a genius." Baelfair said in a straight manner. She will only show her mature side to her twin brother but not to her grandparents and especially to her mother as she feared that she might stop 'babying' her if she finds out that she's equally genius with her brother, but in a different way.
Fire rolled his eyes at her sister. "Right, it takes one to know one."
"Of course not, I'm a genius. I repeat, I'm a genius!" Fair insisted haughtily. "Whatever."
Both looked into each other's eyes as the door of their room opened and appeared their very beautiful and devoted mother.
"Oh my sweeties. Mother brought you snacks and toys from Country P!"
Both children, despite being self-proclaimed but somehow truthful geniuses, were joyful hearing their mother's words. Their eyes lit up. After all, they were still kids. Just advanced. Very advanced for that matter. Veronica came to Fire's bed where both children were sitting and they looked like they were talking about a very serious matter. "Oh how cute."
Veronica also got the chance to talk with Fire being out of control with his hacking playtime. He promised her that he wouldn't do it once again but with her guilt, she gave them no explanation about their suspected father. She knows that she's being unfair to them but after all, there's no need to explain about it.
She and their father had no relationship with each other when they were conceived. It's a sad reality that her twins were born not out of love but of just casual sex.
Veronica shook her head thinking about the man whom, after years, she still felt great attraction to. She rationalized it with the fact that maybe because he was the one who took her virginity and was so far the first and the only man who she had sex with. With her very busy time with her twins and her training, she never got the chance to find a good man to romance.
"Can he still at least remember me?" Veronica murmured as she fell asleep.
