Strutting inside, Lilith found the atmosphere weird.
Because standing at the corner were Harriet and her family, with their head down, staring at their feet like a kid who did something wrong, and sitting on the couch like a queen were Lilith's nemesis, and also her so called step sisters, Carissa and Averil.
Their face was feel with disgust as they look at the family of five.
"How can you guys live here? This place stinks so much." Averil said, covering her nose.
"I never knew humans could live here at all, because this place is so dirty, even a zoo look better."
The sound of boot in the room caused everyone to whipped their head to the door, and there strode in Lilith.
Jealousy flashed by the twins's purple eyes, no matter how much they look at this girl who was sashaying her hips in, they always have the urge to rip away her smooth skin, pull out her red hair and turn her bald, and gouge out her purple eyes that were even more beautiful and vibrant than theirs.
"There you are, where do you go to make us wait for you? You better not go around and tarnish our family name!" Averil stood up and pointed out. She was the younger twins, and was a head shorter than Lilith, who was 1.75m tall.
Averil was beautiful in her own way, with long chestnut brown hair and lavender eyes color. Her sister, Carissa had wavy chocolate brown hair with the same eyes. She was a little taller than her younger sister, but not enough to reach Lilith's height.
"And why are you here?" Lilith didn't bother to acknowledge them as she strode straight to the couch and sat down, leg crossed.
If it was any other person, they might feel oppressed as their opponents was towering over them but in Lilith situation, Averil look like a subordinate reporting to her master.
"How. dare. you. talk. to. me. like. that?" Averil seems to be in disbelief as she look at Lilith.
"Harriet, I am sorry for this, my sisters here are spoilt rotten and forget their etiquette, please don't mind them, they are still young." Lilith smiled apologetically at Harriet and her family.
Harriet fearfully nodded and felt relief wash over them, then she and her family hurriedly walked to their room.
Lilith's eyes flashed when she saw their timid behavior but she didn't ask anything and turn to her 'sisters' expressionlessly.
"Why are you here, sis?" Lilith asked, arm folded against her chest and leg crosses elegantly.
"You..." Averil was infuriated.
How dare this cunt talk to her like this? To Averil, everyone ought to cower at her presence, just like the Beasant couples, after all, she is Duke Edward's daughter.
"Averil" Carissa called out, and Averil glares one last time at Lilith before sitting down.
'I will let you go for now, just wait until we reached home and you will see how I will treat your lowly life.' Averil's eyes flashed with malice at the thought of this.
Carissa cleared her throat and look at Lilith with a smile.
"Lilith, Mother asks us to bring you back home."
Silence.
Inside, Lilith was happy as hell, she has been waiting for this opportunity since long ago but she didn't show it on her face.
Averil grew impatient at her silence and haughtily said. "Mother misses you so much and that's why she is seeking out for you. You better know your place and go inside and pack your belongings. We don't have all the day to ourselves."
No answer.
Carissa opened her mouth, ready to persuade Lilith when the latter suddenly nodded.
"Sure."
"Let me tell you....wait, what?!" Averil jumped up in surprise. She couldn't understand why this girl agree so readily, but then she thought, maybe this fool believe that her mother really did miss her. But, nevermind, as long as she follow them back home.
Carissa was also surprised, but she was much sharper and smarter than her younger sister. Her eyes shone suspiciously. For some reason, she felt that Lilith has become weird.
The Lilith from before rarely talk, and rarely smile. Even if they insulted her, she wouldn't say anything but her clenched hand always shows her emotion. But now, the face was different, and the aura was much calmer and more mature.
Her purple eyes was also a bit weird to look at, it gives her a dangerous and creepy feelings for some reason but now is not the time to address this.
