Chapter 2 - Family's Expectations

As the brother left, the family and Carolina were in great despair. This Christmas was the last time when they knew that Carolina had written a Christmas Carol. She did not doing it for anyone.

The family had great expectations from their next generations. They wanted to maintain their status and position in the high society as a first class military family. No one in the entire society dared to bad mouth or offend them . They all flattered them to get benefits.

As one of the supposed next genration power house had left the family, they were in big trouble. They become a joke for the first time in the history . They always told everyone that Soo Jin would become a great leader but what happened in the end .

They were afraid to loose their name, reputation, and power. So to maintain it, they needed another person from the same generation as that of Soo Jin to fill up the empty space.

No one wanted their child to face double hardships due to other people. So all of them started to force, Hyueng Jin to find a solution for the mess that his dear and only son had created.

After much thoughts and discussion, the person who would replace Soo Jin was decided . It was Carolina Jin. After all she was that person's only sister who had brought shame on the family name. So it would be Carolina to endure all the hardships meant for Soo Jin. She had to become the scapegoat .

After the throwing all the hopes and expections on that young lady's shoulder , the household came back to regular schedule except for that of Carolina .

Earlier it was thought that the master would go to army, and bring 'name' back, so everyone treated the young lady quite low with what they all did for their master. She was nothing but a wall flower in the house that needed to be provided with just food and place to live.

Only her big brother cared for her. Ever their mother preferred Soo Jin over Carolina. When she was pregnant with Carolina, she thought that she would again give birth to a son who would bring glory home and take care of the family by helping his elder brother in the future. It would elevate her position in the family, which might lead a plus point for her husband to become the next family head.

But all her dreams were shattered when a girl was born out of now where. Even if she joined military, her rank would not be that high. So it would be waste of resources. She was just kept as a spooled brat, then also it would be loss of resources. So everything would bring a loss.

So she never cared if the young girl got love or not as she was just a wall flower who would be decorated in sone else home in few years . So why care if that thing would never be your side to appreciate. It was completely useless to get attached to her and cry when she would leave. Such a waste of emotions and tears.

She was sad for her son. He had been treated as a prince. How would he face hardships outside? That was impossible fir someone who lived in a mansion of marble, going to live in someone else's home as a tenant.

She would not get anything from Carolina, so she ignored her. And now all the expectations that were on her son had been passed to that wall flower. How would her husband and her find solace ? Who would take care of them in the near future? How would Hyueng Jin become the family head ?

It was all that girl's fault. If she were man, all he expectations could be seen fulfilled again if her son, Soo Jin denied to fulfill them but in the end her second child was a girl .

Carolina could not face those two faced and materialistic relatives, and the piercy and angry gaze of her mother anymore , so without caring she left the house to become a soldier. Even if her mother did not care about her she had never mistreated her but from now on, only the almighty knows. So it was better to leave earlier.
