Sir. Benjamin is the son of a high class merchant family. He is a man with many talents and is very Insightful in matters that pertain to business. Because of this, Yukino's father would always seek advice and connections from him. However, now that time has gone backwards, Yukino's father has never met Sir. Benjamin . This occurrence has given Yukino the chance to gain an important ally.
Yukino immediately writes a letter to Sir Benjamin that proposes a business venture that will greatly benefit the both of them. And after a few days of silence, Sir Benjamin finally sent a letter back to the Lochward household.
[ Milady! The letter you have been waiting for has finally arrived!]
Eva suddenly bursted into the room with excitement. She knew that this matter was heavily weighing in on Yukino's mind so she was happy to see that she finally got an answer.
[Oh, I'm so sorry Milady, I didn't mean to burst in uninvited]
[Its alright Eva, can you please hand me something to open the letter with?]
Yukino opens the letter reluctantly, hoping that Sir. Benjamin would accept her inquiry. And to her amazement, Benjamin asked if she could meet him in a few days to discuss the details of this business opportunity.
[ Abagail, please send word to Sir. Benjamin that I would be very happy if we could meet tomorrow.]
[Yes Milady]
Sir Benjamin answered rather quickly saying that he was available the next day. And so, after spending some time chatting with her ladies-in-waiting, Yukino wrote out a professional business plan that Sir. Benjamin would not be able to say no to.
The next day Yukino got dressed and prepared to leave the manor, but while leaving she encountered her two sisters.
[ My My My, where are you going dressed like that?]
Yukino was widely known for her beautiful constitution and meek personality. She was know for her long Luscious hair that resembled the color of the sky and beautiful eyes that shine brighter than any bar of gold that has ever been seen. She has the Physique of a goddess however due to her low self esteem it was never shown. Her skin was as white as snow and as smooth as silk. And her body was well endowed. Her sisters were very jealous of Yukino's beauty, so they would constantly belittle her. This was the first time that Yukino had ever proudly worn clothes that showed her alluring stature.
[Where I go or what I wear is none of your business.]
Yua and Risa were both appalled! Yukino had never spoken to them that way. They were so used to Yukino being their punching bag. Someone they could drag through the mud and would still have a smile on their face. Someone that they could always use for their personal gain. This is the type of woman Yukino once was. But, Yukino has now grown. Like a caterpillar that has now sprouted its wings. She would no longer tolerate offensive words or cruel actions toward her or the people she loved.
[Staying silent only causes pain and misfortune. At some point, my kindness turned into naivety which was used as a tool for others to get what they wanted. I had always been a stepping stone but now, I will aim for a future that I'm proud of.]
Yukino thought these things to herself. And stood firm on the words that she had just said to her sisters. Before her sisters could even come up with a response Yukino walked past them a left. Yukino entered the carriage and after a long ride, she reached the Benjamin household.
[ Hello Miss. Lochward! I have been expecting you!]
