His Worst Mistake

The boy...

"Margot!!! Margot!!!" Troy called out as he ran towards the now fuming Margot. 

Margot paid no mind to him and walked into her room, shutting the door behind her. 

Troy knew not to try to enter the room. 

The man made his way tot he boys' room. 

"Mr Troy?" Theo called and Troy sighed.

"Uh...well....mummy's mad at daddy" Troy said defeatedly and the boys laughed.

"Mummy never gets mad but when she does she's maaddddd" Matt pointed out as he stacked his Lego pieces. 

"Mummy becomes the Troll Queen when she's mad. Everyone has to please her or they'll get destroyed" Theo said with a giggle.

"So how can daddy please mummy huh?" Troy asked, hoping to get some useful information from the boys.

Both boys shrugged and Troy slumped his shoulders.

"We usually just get Uncle Gray to help us" Theo commented and Troy shivered. He couldn't imaging begging the older man to help placate Margot. The man would literally scoff and the expression he'd make would be more than enough to send Troy out of the room. Moreover, informing the man that he had pissed his sister off was an automatic death sentence.

Troy carried the boys into the dining room. Trou got a waft of the Croissants and as soon as he saw them he shivered. 

Margot walked in and said nothing to Troy. She interacted with everyone else as normal and Troy was the black sheep of the table for the day. Dear Theo just had to make it worse. 

"Hee hee...mummy's mad at Mr Troy...everyone knows not to piss mummy off" Theo giggled and the dining room went pin drop silent. 

Troy felt chills crawl up his spine as six pairs of eyes turned and fell on him. 

The man felt literal arrows pierce through his skin. He was done for.

Grayson brought his hand still holding his knife up to his mouth and then cleared his throat. "Now did he?" Grayson asked.

"Yess...yess...Mr Troy was asking us how to make mummy not mad anymore" Matt said and the two boys giggled.

For some reason Hendrix decided to caress his knife just at that moment and Troy shut his eyes. 

"Can we just eat in peace?" Margot suddenly said and grumbles were heard. Soon the sound of cutlery hitting ceramic plates filled the room once more. 

At the end of dinner, each brother gathered croissants as they stood to return to their rooms. They kissed Margot on the forehead before leaving. 

Margot stood and held each boys' hand before turning to leave with them. Soon Troy was left at the table alone. 

Troy stood to leave, silently trudging behind Margot and the boys with his head hanging.

He followed Margot as she bathed the boys and tuck them into bed, the man helping as the process went on.

"Mummy...are you no longer Mr Troy's friend?" Theo asked as he laid in bed, clutching his Brachiosaurus shaped stuffed toy. 

Margot smiled. "Yes Theo...I'm no longer friends with him. He did something very very bad. Don't be like Mr Troy okay?" Margot said as she stroked the boys' hair. 

Theo nodded furiously and Margot bent to peck his forehead before turning to leave. 

Troy just trudged behind her.
