Chapter 11 - Meeting The Family

After a while I pulled up to a big fancy mansion. When we get to the main gate there is a butler with dark gray hair and a dark gray mustache. "Hello Miss Zeilici." He opens the door for me. "Right this way Miss." I follow the butler to the Main hall, where I see Madam Leuola waiting for me. "Zeilici Darling, Thank you for coming. I was looking forward to meeting you. I've heard quite a lot about you." "Thank you. It is a pleasure to meet you as well Madam Leuola." "Hahaha, no need for formalities, come this way dear, the dinners getting cold." I walked with Madam Leuola to the dining room where one end of the table Mr Leuola was sitting, next to him was an empty seat, then Mira, Kaital, empty seat, and a random boy I didn't know, I'm assuming that's Mira's brother. "Come dear, sit next to Liam and Kaital." Before I sit, I bow to Mr. Leuola and say, "Nice to meet you sir, My name is Zeilici." "I know your name, You may sit dear." I watch as Madam Leuola walks across the room. I look around there are other people here, not close to us though. "Hey Zeil." Kaital whispers. I smile. "Hello." "Everyone," Mr. Leuola says, "You may begin eating. I wasn't really hungry since I had a snack at Tokyo mall earlier so I just nibbled off my vegetables. "Do you even eat?" Liam eventually asks me. I smile. "Yes, I'm just not hungry much tonight." "Are you sure dear?" Madam Leuola asks me, "You don't have to lie." "Yes, The food is good, I'm just not that hungry." "Then why are you eating at all?" He asks rudely this time. I give him a confused look. *dude,* i think, *you should know the answer* "To look polite." "Yeah! And she's absolutely correct about that! Stop pestering her. "Heh, It's all right, he's just curious." "Kaital now, calm down dear. But Liam, Please do leave Zeilici alone." I'm so nervous, I can see him looking at me the whole time. I really don't think he likes me. Oh gosh, what do I do? After dinner Mr. Leuola has to take care of the rest of the guests so Oka takes us out to her garden. We walk around in silence for a while. I turn to look at a pretty Lilac flower. "It matches your dress." I turn to look at Liam. "Huh?" I say innocently. "The Lilac, It matches your dress." he looks embarrassed. I look shocked for a second but then I Chuckle. "Thank you." I continue looking at the flowers. Kaital bumps him with her arm, "OOOH!" "Get off me you worm!" Now children, Please get along." Mira walks over to me, "Zeilici, This Saturday Me Liam, and Kaital are going to the mall, would you like to come?" "Sure! It would be a pleasure." "I'll also text you at any events or just to invite you over." "Okay, that sounds good." For a while I just walked side to side with Mirasol. I want to get to know her better. "Hey Mirasol. Do you remember when we used to be friends when we were younger?" "Yes, Zeil. I do remember you." "How come you've changed so much, I remember I used to think of you as an older sister… We did everything together…" " I know… being the eldest daughter of the Leuola's I have duties to perform. It's not like any royal story of a princess but, I'm kinda just like one in some ways. Going to be married off to a rich and powerful family. To expand our family's business." "But, what about The Council, The Group? You're the main leader. It's going to completely fall apart without you." "The Group is our family's business. Marrying me off would expand it, give it more power, give me more power." "Is… that what you want?" "I don't know. If I was younger I definitely would but doing that would have more work, and I feel as though I would be trapped, a pretty doll that can be played with, just to sit on a staircase looking pretty, not having any real meaning." " Well if you feel that way, maybe you can try to talk to your parents, if you absolutely have zero say in the matter, maybe you could propose as to picking your fiance." " I don't know, I'll give it some thought." Things were quiet for a while. "Hey Zeilici." "Yeah?" "Thank you." I smile. "Of course. We all continue walking in the garden for a bit before heading back inside. Mirasol says when we get back inside, "Zeilici, I asked Kaital and she's spending the night. Would you like to as well?" " I would love to, but I haven't bought anything with me, except my phone." "Oh that's fine, we have a clothing room downstairs, you can pick something out of there later." "Oh, alright that sounds good." Soon I'm in Mirasol's room talking and laughing with her and Kaital in out pajamas. I wonder how this night will go?
