I'm Telling You We Really Are Twins, Ok? (MNLAAV:ARLTD TwinAU fanfiction)

Chapter 21: Annulment

Artemis jumped out of the carriage, the sudden motion surprised her Assistant and the coachman to look.

"What the..!?" The coachman looked at where he thought the movement had come from to shake the carriage up.

"Did the Duke just jump out of the carriage???" The assistant asked, shocked and bewildered.

...

"Katarina."

Everyone perked up.

"Oh, Artemis!" Katarina smiled seeing her this afternoon.

That feeling of agitation left Artemis's side when she saw her twin.

"What are you all doing out here with only two servants? That's too little, you should've bought at least five or more." She asked.

The two servants in the back flinched hearing them get told on.

"I don't want to get looked at when five or more people in suits are following us." Katarina hummed.

Artemis huffed, crossing her arms, she said, "How much money had you been able to spend lately?"

"More than... A thousand!" Katarina did her maths, "Is that right?"

"You've spent exactly five hundred thousand gold, twenty-eight silvers, and five coppers, Young Lady Athanasios." One of the servants said.

Katarina frowned. That's not really that big of a bite off of the card, isn't it?

Keith chuckled, "Looks like it didn't take much of a pinch off of the pile."

Katarina hung her head low, "I thought giving to the orphanages would do something like cut fifty thousand and a lot."

"Hah!" Artemis laughed, "A lot of people tend to adopt so most orphanages don't take a lot in asking... Ever."

"Noooo...." Katarina cried out.

They all laughed.

"Lady Katarina, have you decided if you'll come back home or not?"

Everyone perked up, Nicole spoke.

Looks like he and Artemis were the ones who didn't laugh.

Nicole looked... Rather sad for some reason. Quite frankly, sad.

"Brother." Sophia sighed, she's already taken it that she should let Katarina go but she never thought her own brother wouldn't.

"Well..." Katarina hummed.

Artemis looked at her.

"You're going where?" She asked.

"Ah! Well...." Katarina mumbled, a hand scratching the back of her neck, "My friends have been telling me for a while that I should head back to Sorcier."

Artemis frowned, "I already told you, you're staying here forever."

Everyone looked at her.

"Who are you to tell her what to do?" Gerald said.

"And who are you to raise your voice at me?" Artemis scowled.
