Cataleya jolted in surprise as the door burst opened with Cxenon marching angrily insid along with the marquis. She already had it coming most especially for his short tempered brother.
"Explain yourself, Cataleya Briston!" It was Cxenon who exploded first as soon as he saw Cataleya sitting calmly in the sofa.
"Cxenon, let's hear your sister first." The marquis placed one hand on Cxenon's shoulder either to stop him from lunching towards her or to pacify his outburst.
"I cannot sit still after the things she declared in front of those people, father." Cxenon said and turned darkly to her. "We are occupied with more important matter here and you are away, hiking up your skirt to a man you are yet to marry."
"Are you insane? Who says that I hike up my skirt to the duke?" Cataleya stood up, livid of her brother's words.
"You just announced it to the party and no people with ears had missed it." Cxenon shot back.
