Becoming Part of the Family [Female Reader x Lady Dimitrescu]

XVII. Sisterly Bonding

Y'all seem to be tense about the angst I'll most definitely add later.

Lol.

"This is ridiculous!" Cassandra grumbled as she hid behind some shrubs in the castle courtyard, her sisters right beside her.

The sun was blaring down at them, the cold no longer being a problem.

"Then go back inside," Bela nonchalantly muttered in rebuttal as her gaze stayed focus on two figures having a nice peaceful conversation between each other in the middle of the courtyard.

Daniela was in the middle of her sisters, Bela was on her left while Cassandra was on her right.

Cassandra glared at Bela before ripping the object Daniela was using to see you and Alcina conversing together away from her.

"Give it back!" Daniela hissed quietly, trying to retrieve the binoculars back from Cassandra.

Cassandra scowled at her, "It's my turn, Y/n said we should learn to share with each other. Deal with it. Where the hell did you find these anyway?"

"From the Duke," Daniela muttered out with a frown on her face, no longer trying to grab it when Cassandra mentioned your statement about sharing.

Bela chuckled while keeping her gaze on you and Alcina, "Of course you did."

"Why is it dark?" Cassandra questioned while looking through the binoculars, "I can't see anything."

Bela finally broke her gaze from the scene in front of her and glanced at Cassandra, taking a look at the binoculars.

"Well, maybe you should take the binoculars out of the case?" Bela snickered out.

Cassandra frowned and flipped the binoculars over to see that the case was in fact, still on. She quickly glared at Daniela with an incredulous look, "How the hell were you using these to watch the two of them for the past five minutes? You didn't even open the case!"

"I was too embarrassed to ask how to take it off," Daniela murmured while glancing off to the side, a bashful look on her face.

"You-I...Ughhhh," Cassandra groaned into her hand before sighing, gently pressing her side slightly into Daniela's and holding the binoculars out in front both of them, explaining softly, "Look, these snap back. So, take ahold of them and gently take it off. Like this."

Bela watched with a small smile on her face at how uncharacteristically soft her younger sister was being. Spending more time with you definitely was taking its affect on all the sisters. They were able to spend more time with each other without breaking into petty fights or arguments. Most of the time anyways.

Cassandra gently popped off the lens cover with swift and easy movement. Daniela watched with rapt attention and nodded her head, "Ohhh I get it now."

"Good. Now you try," Cassandra handed the pair back to Daniela after placing the case back on them.

Bela and Cassandra watched as Daniela immediately copied Cassandra's previous actions, taking off the lens cover with ease.

Daniela looked over at Cassandra with an excited look on her face, "I did it!"

Cassandra let out a little chuckle and patted her head, "Good job."

Daniela brightened up at the praise and looked at Bela with a grin on her face, holding up the binoculars, "Bela, look!"

"I know, I saw. Nice work, Dani," Bela smiled and kissed Daniela's temple, "Don't be afraid to ask us for help next time."
