"Is she going mad? Because what we're seeing is the behavior of a crazy person," Theodoric remarked.
Zemislav shot a glare at Theodoric and reprimanded him, "What are you saying to your younger sister? Don't be rude!"
Theodoric scoffed, "How else would you describe her behavior, then? Perhaps she's gone mad from overworking herself, trying so hard to please Mother and Father, yet still making numerous mistakes."
Hearing Theodoric's words, Zinnia flinched, realizing how Theodoric also viewed her as a failure. But her eyes soon widened when she saw Zemislav flick Theodoric's forehead while scolding him, "Theo, you're not helping! You oath to change that foul mouth of yours!"
"Ouch! That hurt, you know!" Theodoric exclaimed, touching his forehead.
Zemislav then placed a hand on Zinnia's back, guiding her out of the gazebo.
"Where are you going?" Theodoric inquired.
