It has been two days since Selena came back from the tea party at the Allen's estate. She was currently sitting in the library with Armin who was busy writing a children's book as Selena wrote wrote a letter to Rosalind. The letter said as follows:
Dear Rosalind Allen,
I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to you today to invite you to my estate tomorrow as I have found your talent with plants to be quite interesting and wish to get to know you better and hopefully one day I shall be able to call you a friend.
You had shown me kindness and care at my time at your estate for which I thank you sincerely. I wish you and your family with a long and wonderful life.
Your sincerely,
Selena Agana.
Anna would you please tell a guard to deliver this letter to the Allen estate.(Selena said handing the letter to my maid Anna)
Of course my lady I will see that the task is taken care of.(Anna said taking the letter with her head lowered in respect as she leaves to complete the task assigned to her by her lady.)
You seem quite focused on that book of yours little brother. It's almost impressive how a small boy like you has the brain to write stories even if they are for children.(Selena said as she leans in close to observe her brother's writing and freazes for a moment after reading a line her brother wrote.)
Armin?
Huh? Yes sister?(Armin said looking up with the most innocent eyes.)
Stop making your characters cheat on one another in a children's book. How do you even know such concepts. You are only six.(Selena said grabbing her brother by the shoulders and shaking him to get his sences in the right place.)
Wo-wow seaste stooop shaking meee...I got...it.(Armin manages to say as he tries to make Selena stop shaking him.)
Very well then. Now please try writing a more innocent children's book please. You can write things like this more when you grow up.
At the Allan estate.
At the dinner table Roseland's half brother Felix emptied a cup of water over her head.
Felix: really dare to speak up to you dear older brother... maybe I have been too nice to you lately. You should be punished, don't you think?
Felix griped a chunk of Rosalind's hair pulling it back to make her look up.
Felix: Now how should I punish you. I know maybe I should make you eat a plate full of worms for dinner how about that.
Rosalind frozen in fear whimpered her body shaking in fear but she didn't dare even cry.
Aubrey: brother please stop acting so childishly. we are of noble birth we should act like it.... A few days locked in her room without food should be enough of a punishment.
Aubrey said calmly eating her meal as she watched Rosalind get tortured with an amused smile.
Felix: huff you are no full but fine. I guess that punishment is good too.
Suddenly a servant knocked at the door delivering a letter from the Agana estate.
Aubrey takes the letter and opens it. As she reads the letter her face quickly twists in anger and disgust.
Aubrey: well... little sister. Find yourself lucky. Your punishment has been delayed by one day...lady Selena wishes to be a guest at her estate tomorrow.
Aubrey paused to glare at her.
Aubrey: get some rest for now and tomorrow make yourself useful and make a good impression on lady Selena.
Rosalind: I...yes...I will.
Rosalind mumbled her voice weak and trembling.
Felix: huff I don't even know what a noble lady like lady Selena sees in a scumb like you.
Felix roughly let go of Rosalind's hair and left the dining room with Aubrey.
Rosalind sat there alone now hurt but no tears came out as she curled up in a corner hugging her legs.
The next day Rosalind goes to Agana estate wearing a green dress which complemented her eyes.
At the door the butler greeted her and took her to the room in which Selena was waiting for her in.
Selena: it's really nice to see you again lady Rosalind.
Selena said with a polite smile and invited her to sit together.
There was tea and various types of snacks served at the table
Selena thinks to herself: sooo...what exactly do two friends talk about?
. . .
This is so awkward.
