"Two?, do you mean Ethan and Janeth?."
Linda asked, she already knew that it was probably her little genius Ethan, they would not possibly pick Aiden because he had the baddest reputation among the two.
"No, I mean Aiden and Janeth."
"What?!, Excuse me what?!."
this was totally out of her expectations not to bad mouth his son but normally people would pick brains out of brawns but this was the complete opposite or it could only be that they were aiming for the title Duchess.
"I heared that Aiden does not have the greatest behavior since another baby was born, This will benefit the two of us."
In the past Linda could have easily agreed but this time was different the two boys had been going along with their younger sister, more than that it made Linda more suspicious of Marchioness Rosa. Even now her knowing about the third child was already suspicious.
"I never knew the Marchioness liked to gossip."
Linda said mocking the Marchioness while laying a trap for the lady to fall in, if her answer was a little bit off she would disregard the offer and let them leave immedietly.
The Marchioness ignored the Duchess mocking and confessed in a unexpecting way. Leaving the others that heared this might have second thougths.
"the truth is we were planning to have another baby and Janeth was pretty against of the idea."
The Marchioness shrugged her shoulders, looking sorrowful, she had really meant what she said Janeth was turning spoiled from her Fathers never ending love that she had the audacity to boss her Mother around.
"And how would that benefit you?."
Linda was still not content from her answer Marchioness Rosa had told her that it will benefit her too then she might as well know what she's benefiting from it maybe money, fame or even the title when there married Aiden was after all the eldest child of the family.
"You see when people fall inlove they change for the better and I hope the two of them can change in the future."
The Marchioness grew silent taking a sip in her tea, staring at the reflection looking at herself with pity, she continued in her head the words she had said.
"(But falling in love is painful, much more if the love is not reciprocrated.)"
"That does'nt seem bad."
Carlton replied, the two looked at him in surprise they had forgotten that he was here the whole time. Carlton did remember how Aiden was always gung-ho about weapons he hoped he would slightly change that attitude and soften up in the future.
"Your right, it does'nt seem too bad."
Carlton and Linda talked for a minute and a half, before agreeing to the offer. They talked about the two engaged children for a while that they did not notice Janeth speed walking in from the door and went beside Marchioness Rosa whispering about something.
The Marchioness was surprised and a bit tad nervous, Janeth on the other hand sweat nervously her dress was covered in dirt and her hair dishevieled from her sweaty forehead to her shoeless right foot all of it was messy.
"It seems we have stayed here for too long, were sorry to have taken too much of your time."
The two once again bowed their heads to pay respect and left, leaving the two awed and confused while the two were busy spacing around the two children had walked inside cheery and joyful.
"Where did the two of you go?."
Carlton asked, the two boys were way too happy from usual there mouth had almost stretched from their noses from their smiling even their eyes were no longer visible.
"We saw something funny today."
Ethan replied recalling the time he had so much fun from the very first time in his life.

When Janeth had walked away from the group to the garden, she did not know the two were following her to check for her safety incase they were to blame if something had happened to the guest.
In the garden next to the training grounds there was a little forest connecting the garden to the habitat of the magical beasts they were taking care off.
Janeth was sitting in the middle of the garden admiring the cupid fountain when a rabbit had bounced his way beside Janeth hoping up and down.
Janeth looked at the rabbit with heart eyes just when she was about to pet the rabbits head, the rabbit hopped his way out of the garden and into the forest unsuprisingly Janeth had followed the rabbit totally unaware of what was going to happen to her.
Ethan and Aiden followed behind her and as soon as the two had went inside the forest, they saw Janeth being chased by the gigantic Mother rabbit while the little rabbit that lured Janeth inside the forest is sitting on top of the Mothers head grinning showing a deathly aura,
Apperantly the rabbit thougth that Janeth was a pineapple the moment her hair got tangled with some leaves on the trees. the two boys suppressed their laughter covering their mouths while looking at the situation the young lady was in.
They could not be considered heartless as when Janeth was about to die by the Mother rabbits stomp, Ethan would use his wind magic to move the rabbits foot a little bit to not harm but scare the lady when the lady had fallen and lost her shoe Aiden used his Ice magic to freeze the rabbits legs to slowen her speed and tire the Mother rabbit.
An hour had almost passed when the two rabbits had hopped away when they were tired from the chasing. Janeth that was tired from all the running took a break on a large root before running out to find her mother.
