"Once again I will say both of you come at me with the intent of killing and there should be no hesitation. Got it!"
"Yes! Your Grace! I understood."
"Yeah! Yeah! Whatever, Don't blame me later for killing you. Please leave behind your will to prove my innocence."
"Hoo! Seems like you all planned it out already."
Dion gets shocked and grabs shoulder of fena, "What are you saying my lady? Please I request you to not joke around like this with duke. What if someone misunderstands and take you for real."
Fena looks at Dion with eyes of telling him can't you be more pathetic than this?
"Who said I am joking around? I'm being serious about it. Whatever let's start."
The Training starts with the three of them on the other side of the mansion in garden Viola sitting on a chair and gets mad at maids.
"You useless people's can't do a single thing properly! Didn't I told you to not pay attention to her then how she is so well and running around unless any of you give her food."
"Believe us my lady we weren't the one who gave her. She warned us with her eyes as if it was saying us, "Is it okay to do this even if duke founds out?" we got scared and left the kitchen."
Viola Stands up from her seat and as she come forwards to the two maids to punish them. Ann suddenly came between them and stops Viola.
My lady," It isn't right to do that. You do have right to punish your servant as master but when they do something wrong not for your selfish demands."
Viola freezes in her place. When she sees Ann stopping her and founding out what she was doing.
"Ann! I just wanted to teach her lesson and nothing else. I was just upset to see brother Alex getting upset. Believe me Ann, I am not a bad child. You won't hate me after knowing this, Right!"
Ann looks surprised at Viola and comes near hers, hugs her and Pat's her head.
'She depends on young master Alex a lot that's why she couldn't take it when he got upset over fena training with the duke.'
"I see! My Lady, You must be upset for young master Alex, But this isn't right to do this. You might hate her now but as long as she is here and as long as you are alive. You never know there might come a day when you start loving her as an older sister."
Viola stares at Ann that what she is trying to make her understand by telling her this stuff.
"My Lady, When that times come or when you have grown up. You might start to having regrets about your past behavior. I don't hate you or think of you bad. You will always be the pretty baby for me my lady."
Viola gets consoled by Ann and other maids see the chance and leaves on Ann signal .
Rio, Ray, Rin, comes up running towards Viola and asks her to visit fena. Meanwhile, Ann leaves for her work.
Rin : "Sister Viola, Let's go and see what that trash is doing."
Rio : "She must be beaten up to pulp by the grandpa."
Ray writes on a board, "I want to visit grandpa. It's been a week I haven't got alone time with grandpa. She took grandpa from me. I hate her."
Viola Pat's the heads of her three little adorable siblings while holding their hands.
"Yeah! Let's take Alex with us and visit grandpa. He must be happy to see us all coming together to visit him."
At the training ground....
Dion and Fena both were beaten up and collapsed on the ground, All out of breath.
"What's with you old man? How come you are not out of breath? If you don't show mercy on us. At this rate we will be only your punching bag."
"I agree! Your Grace, Have some mercy on us. We can't get up anymore."
Dion's start Whispering into fena ear.
"It's all your fault my lady. Why do you have to make me caught up in all of this.?"
Fena gets pissed and says in a teasing tone, "Oya! Look who is saying. I thought you wanted to be a Knight. What happened? I Even gave commitment that you will be the greatest and loyal Knight."
Dion gets embarrassed and ashamed of his whining by remembering how he claimed that he wants to be a Knight.
Both were so busy Whispering that they couldn't see the duke standing above their heads. When they felt shadow on their head only then they realize the duke.
"You both of you stand up right now. Start running around the whole ground until you drop dead for real."
"Huh! Why we need to start running? Can't you see we are already dying of hunger and exhaustion? Old man you really want us to dead for real right. It doesn't matter since you got a lot of grand children's and capable knights."
"I think I should start investigating your bedroom soon."
The moment duke said this and Dion sees the next moment Fena is already running all around the training ground.
"Wow! Running feels so good. Right! I feel so blessed to be able to run in such a cold. Dion you should come and join me."
"My lady you are a traitor to leave me behind. I thought you would think of a solution."
'Damn! If not for money. I would have never listened to this old man not even once.'
Both of were running around the training ground and sees from a far Viola and other children's visiting the duke.
"Greetings Grandpa!"
Welcome my children's," How have you been all? My Babies Ray, Rio and Rin. Come here grandpa will give you a lot of love."
Everyone hugged the duke and younger one's requested duke to read them stories and play cards with them.
From a distance Dion watches everyone being loving with each other. While running, he asks,
"My Lady, Don't you feel jealous or envious from them or from the fact how duke behave with them and how he behave with you."
Fena gives a pathetic look expression to Dion for asking pathetic things to her.
"What's there to feel? I mean are you for real? Anyone can see and tell they are loving with each other because they are family, And they spent a lot of time together through good and bad times. It's a given What's there to be jealous or envious of?"
Dion looks at fena for a while then looks away while saying, "Isn't my lady too is family to them even if other masters doesn't think of my lady as their family because of different mothers but aren't you same as other children's to duke since you are his son daughter."
Fena looks at Dion and then turns her face to the view where duke and the other children's sitting and playing around. Fena stares at them for a while and Dion looks at fena expression.
'Family Huh! Right family is the only thing I will never ask for in this life never ever. To me family is full of selfish people's where they took out their stress on you and when you make them realize how they treat you they turn everything they do to you in affection. Telling you that they love you that's why they do that to you sometimes.'
"Dion don't look at me like that. I don't need your sympathy or wants you to sympathize with me. I'm not feeling sad. So don't worry."
I got it! My lady! I won't, "My lady sometimes you talk as if yourself is some adult."
Fena gets goosebumps when Dion comes near her and says in her ear.
'He sure turned out to be more smart than I thought.'
Fena turns around and looks at Dion and start telling him while dancing with her hands.
" I talk like an adult because you see I used to live on a road and had a very hard life out there, So I get a lot of things more than my age than normal children's."
Dion looks at fena for a while and then smiles brightly, "I see! That's why my lady looks very smart and mature at a time. This could be the only reason."
'Dion, I'm so glad that you are so simpleton but that's what cute about you.'
I feel there could be a hole in my back in any second. I can tell they all are glaring at me. Let's ignore them and continue running.
The rain started pouring hardly and everyone went inside the mansion while leaving Dion and Fena outside.
Few seconds later butler comes and asks them to leave the grounds and ends the punishment.
Both of them leave on their own ways....
I was on my way to my bedroom that I bumped into Alex.
'Why is he glaring this much? Or if he wanted to say something then he should say and leave. Why wasting time in this glaring contest?'
"You Don't be delusional as long as you are staying here. Grandpa will discard you at some point. When you won't be able to meet his expectations. It's a fair warning for you."
After hearing him saying like that is putting me in a bitter feeling. I took steps forward to Alex. While Alex kept taking steps too backwards. At the end he stuck to wall. I still got closer to him. While putting my one hand against a wall and brought my face a little closer to his face.
"Are you giving me a fair warning or letting yourself reminder about how that old man discarded you. When you didn't meet his expectations."
Alex gets pissed and starts shouting at Fena.
"What? What nonsense are you saying? You witch!"
Say Alex," By any chance are you afraid of me turning out to be better and meeting the expectations of that old man."
Alex couldn't control his temper and tries to punch Fena. But luckily Fena dodges it and kicks him in his left leg.
"Don't bark at the wrong tree. If you feel so useless and pathetic. Then go get your old man and talk out with him. Why he did that to you?"
Fena went on her way while leaving Alex behind without looking once back.
