Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: The Flower Of Wrestvel

The two shorties standing at the entrance of the mansion, mouths formed an old shape, the both of them stood arms akimbo, staring at the two.

Regan held terrified Diana's hand and led her towards them "Polo, and Pogo, good, you both didn't allow me to knock before you open the door" he said brashly.

The two shorties rolled their eyes, they seem to do the same things at once, "Regan, what are you doing with the flower of Wrestvel, I am warning you, don't mess with her" the female shorty warned, she wore a disgruntled facial expression.

Diana was taken surprised by her reaction, she peeped from behind Regan, wondering how the two shorties know her.

"Polo, she is my good friend, Diana, meet Pogo and Polo, they are like my brothers and sisters" he introduced the two shorties to Diana.

Pogo stepped forward "come on in, you are a special guest" he said to Diana, Pogo was barely three feet in height, he held Diana at her middle finger.

Regan felt not welcomed, "Pogo, what about me?" he reacted dramatically.

"Not welcomed!" Polo and Pogo retorted at once, making Regan to chuckle, Diana was flustered, barely forty-eight hours, and she couldn't explain anything happening to her.

The four of them entered the house, filled with books, Diana has never seen so much books in her life before, they arrived at a pool side, inside the house.

Two fishes were swimming inside the pound, they swam to the surface, "is that not the flower of Wrestvel?" one of the fishes asked.

"Oh-no, she is the one, she won't like me anymore, she has caught me as a fish" one of the fishes cried inwardly.

Polo interjected haughtily, "what are you even talking about? Even as a human, she won't look your way, just get hold of yourself," Polo scolded.

Regan started laughing, the two fishes swam away quickly, Diana chuckled, she found Polo interesting.

The four of them strode towards a gigantic mirror, Diana was worried, she whispered to Regan who was walking side to side with her "do they know me?" she asked.

Polo and Pogo were eavesdropping, they could even hear her thoughts "we know you, Diana, you are the flower of Wrestvel, everyone in Wrestvel knows you why won't we, that watches you, everyday knows you" Polo responded.

They reached the mirror, a big frown appeared at Diana's face, she could see her reflection on the mirror, it doesn't show her current situation, it reflected her old self.

She instinctively touched her face, but discovered it was still there, Polo turned to her with gentle gaze

"We don't see only the physical appearance of you, you can recover your beauty, it is your decision, Diana, and you shouldn't punish yourself for what you didn't do" Polo said comfortably.

Diana eyes widened, she was blamed for the death of her parents, and she has believed these all the years, rejecting the idea of a surgery, as a retribution for killing her parents.

"What do you mean?" she asked the Polo, she chuckled, "he didn't tell you?" she threw her gaze at Regan, who coughed lightly.

Pogo commented, "forget about it, he will never will".

Diana stared at them with surprise

"I was the 'cause of everything, I gave the pilot the wine, if I haven't, the jet wouldn't have crashed, he was drunk, and I still forced him to fly us" she narrated looking exasperated.

Polo and Pogo looked at her with pity, "it wasn't because of the wine, and the pilot wasn't drunk,

you never bother to ask why is the pilot family not requesting for money after the incident, they never came knocking at your door, for the life of their son"

Diana started processing what she said, and realization started settling in, "what do you mean?" she asked, looking confuse.

Regan saw the direction of the conversation and interrupted

"Polo and Pogo, don't you guys offer us a drink, we have talked a lot, and we must be tasty, Diana will agree with me, don't you darling?" he asked affectionately.

Diana blushed, Pogo and Polo snorted, knowing that Regan wanted to end the conversation, the both of them left to get them water.

Out of Diana's earshot, they started discussing hotly, Regan sat down with Diana whose mind was messy, she was trying to know how she wasn't the 'cause of the plane crash.

"You shouldn't worry about that, Diana, you can investigate that later" Regan told her, she nodded, and finally relaxed.

They brought bottles of water for the two of them "that bitch Olivier, she is going to perform at Rose arena, disguising as Diana, she always indulged in underhand" Polo said looking upset.

Pogo commented, "I hate her, she can't even sing properly".

Regan chuckled, he could feel the raw hates from the two shorties, Polo turned to Diana "hey, why don't we act like spoiler?" she asked, Diana choked on the water she was drinking, spilling some content.

At the Westley mansion, Pius, the butler of the family, walked briskly, his forehead sweaty, and his body trembling, who would have thought, he will completely lose control of Wrestvel in a blink.

She arrived at the sitting-room, and saw the mother and daughter in a terrible mood, his lips quivered.

Mrs. Hanson turned to him, looking more displeased, "Pius, have you ended the madness? Look at this" she flung the newspaper on the table at him.

Pius caught it and the headline on the front-page terrified him, his lips started trembling

"Madam, I tried to get it done, but, the media are not buying into the matter, the threats, and even persuasion with bribes couldn't sway them, I think someone powerful is trying to ruin our family" he responded.

Olivier stood on her feet and started ranting, "nonsense! Nonsense!! No one in Wrestled can go against the Westley family, you are just incompetent Pius, you can't even get a little thing as this done",

Pius frown, anything could be described as little, but not what the Westley are facing.
