Chapter 157 - Unwelcomed Visitors 02

It was Uoron's dad Vlad [1] and just like his name he too lived up to it well while the female he was with was Uoron's stepmother, Mara [2] and yet again like her name she deserve it well.

"Truly a couple made in heaven [3]." Uoron thought mockingly

"What are you standing here for? Can't you see were here to visit you?!" Vlad said highly displeased by his son's attitude.

Knowing their lunch date had to be postponed, he ignored his father which enraged him and talked to the trembling Claire.

"You leave first, let's have lunch some other time." He said through gritted teeth

"B-but" Claire said

"No buts. Leave." He said in a stern voice making no room for argument

Knowing her presence would only be a nuisance and despite her obvious worry towards Uoron she hesitantly nodded and bowed towards the couple not even once made eye contact with them. She left in a hurry as she was quaking in her shoes [4]

But before she could leave she heard a slightly strained yet seducing voice call for her which scared her even more out of her wits [5].

"Claire dear why are-"

"Aren't you going inside? I have some work to do and don't have any time to waste with you lot if you aren't." Uoron inserted making his father angrier by his disrespectfulness.

"You-!" Vlad started saying

Mara seeing that Vlad was about to blow his top [6] ignored Claire who by then had hurriedly scurried away, she used her seductive and flirty ways to placate the man.

"Now, now dear let's not let our son wait as he is a very busy man." She said coyly

Though it sounded as though she was justifying Uoron's actions in fact if heard by someone else it would seem that Uoron was being disrespectful towards his parents by hurrying them to leave when they even took the time to visit their precious child.

Vlad who was engross on his wife's words and act got even more angrier, he strode in and vehemently berated his son while Mara look one last time at Claire fleeting back and closed the door.

Uoron only leaned at his desk crossing his arms as he stared expressionlessly at the red faced shouting Vlad. Seeing this attitude only made Vlad angrier but knowing that he was here for a purpose he tried to calm himself down as Mara strode on his side pretending to be demure but her eyes that were looking down were filled with mockery towards this so called son of theirs.

[1] Vlad III is known as Vlad Țepeș (or Vlad the Impaler) in Romanian historiography

[2] Mara is a maleficent female wraith in Scandinavian folklore that causes nightmares

[3] Match made in heaven is a very successful combination of two people or things.

[4] It means to start shaking.

[5] Meaning that someone is being scared out of your wits is like saying you lost control of yourself because you were so afraid.

[6] Lose one's temper.
