Soon enough, both girls emerged, loona coming up the driveway with Blitzos van and Octavia walking down the stairs.
"There they are... The little rascals."
Stolas smiled and looked over to both Loona and Octavia, both of whom also seemed a little confused... And as per usual for Octavia, she seemed a little unenthusiast...
"Would you two girls mind coming inside for a moment? We have a... Special, topic to discuss... One that will require both of your utmost attention."
Loona rolled her eyes, pocketing her phone and sitting on the couch beside Octavia.
Stolas nodded his head before sitting down in the chair opposite of the girls... He had his arms folded, and his expression was serious... Both of the girls probably knew this was an important topic... But they couldn't know what the topic was...
"Girls... Can you two please pay attention? This topic we are about to discuss is one... That will require your utmost attention... Do you see the ring in my hand?"
"Oh shit. He already popped the question-"
Loona snickers, looking at Octavia, who was un-amused by the news. She already knew that they were engaged.
Stolas's face blushes as Loona speaks, a bit of a reaction Loona wouldn't ever expect to see out of him...
"Yes... I have... The reason I am bringing this up to you is that... We, myself and Blitzo are about to be... Officially married... But... This must stay... A secret from your grandfather... For your protection... Can you two... Keep such a secret...?"
"yea, it's none of my business."
"Keep this hidden from Grandpa paimon?... that won't be hard. He's not involved in our lives much anyway -"
Octavias voice was plain as she said this. She knew of her grandfather not liking stolas much, and to be honest, she didn't think that he knew her own name.
Stolas sighs in relief. He was surprised that the two agreed so easily, although it made him glad to know they understood...
"You two promise...? I must hear you say it... Please promise me you will not tell anyone about this... Or I do not know what might happen to you."
"Are you saying that he has.. malicious intent to hurt us?"
Stolas nods his head sadly and looks on.
"Unfortunately, that is the case... He... He has a violent personality and could do something irrational should he ever find out... He knows how happy I am with this... But he would not take it lightly to see someone from... A lower class, marry into... A noble bloodline...
You know how the class system is... I am not proud of it, but... There are some things I just... cannot control."
"Dad... You're scaring me..."
Stolas shakes his head and sighs. He's clearly saddened by this and is obviously not happy... This marriage was supposed to be a happy thing, and the fact their grandfather might ruin all of it was just... It's not acceptable... He had to stop it...
"I am sorry darling... Let me explain one last thing... He might not just... Harm me..."
Stolas paused for a moment, unsure if he should say this now...
"He might harm... Blitzo..."
"Seriously, dad?! Him over me?! What the fuck?! You are the only person I have ever had!"
As she yelled, tears arose in her eyes.
Stolas's heart broke seeing her cry like that, how could he make it up to her... She didn't deserve this... She deserved a happy life... He got up and walked over to her and crouched down to be eye level with her, putting his hands on either side of her head, he looked her in the eyes and spoke in a more kind tone, his voice a little shaky.
