Standing in front of a casket, drenched in rain, hearing crying and sniffing all around her, Anatolya for some reason couldn't cry, even if her parents were dead in front of her. All she could think of was why anyone would want to kill her parents.
"This world is rotten...", Anatolya mumbled. "This world is fucking rotten...they will pay... for all that they've done for all of these poor and innocent people..", she continued to mumble to herself. "They will pay, for everything they've done to my family everything they've done to the people, I will take revenge for everyone, I will rip them to shreds and-" Anatolya was cut off by another person,
"You should only say those things in your head when you're out in public." Anatolya turned her head towards the voice, Anatolya scanned the tall young lady. She had short blood red hair and sharp wine red eyes. Then she started to speak again, "Ah, I haven't introduced myself. I'm Haine* Aya* Busch, first daughter of the Earl's Family. Our families have been on good terms for decades, it's a shame the former Viscount and Viscountess died so early. I pray for the new head to be in good health for a long time." The young lady introduced herself.
Anatolya started to introduce herself to the Earl's daughter, "Thank you for your advice, I'm the new head of the Kerkuk Family, Viscountess Anatolya Mustafa Kerkuk. I also pray for the Earl and the Countess's good health". Haine hummed and nodded seemingly uninterested, and asked, "Hey, not to be rude or anything but I'm thirsty, is there any alcohol here?". Anatolya was surprised she would ask for alcohol at a funeral but nodded and called over her butler, Hands, and told him to lead her to where the alcohol was stored and serve some to her. Anatolya watched the strange girl walk away with the butler and thought why she didn't even try to hide the fact she was bored, but shrugged her off and went back to mourning her parents.
