The Chronicle of Aurelia Aurelius

Chapter 4

In the evening, we had dinner in the dining room..Everyone was in there.

"How was your day Aurelia? How was Octavi in person?" Father asked me.

"It was great, father..Octavi seems like an amazing person, she told me about our family and peerage rank, which I didn't know, and she showed me her moves with a sword."

"Whew..she already showed her sword moves..."

"Yes father.." I looked at Aurelio, he seemed to want to ask father about the sword "And there is something I want to ask father."

"What is it, Aurelia?"

"It seems Aurelio has an interest in sword. It happened when Aurelio saw the sword move of Octavi, and he was so impressed by it...He asked Octavi to teach him about sword, and Octavi with pleasure accepted it, but with father's permission...Can father give Aurelio a permission to learn sword from Octavi?"

Father looked at Aurelio, after that to mother..

"My dear...I can't say anything...It's all up to you dear...I believe in your choice for our kids education and educator.."

"But is it too early for Aurelio to learn sword, he is just 7 years old, dear.."

"Dear, I think it's okay for Aurelio to learn sword...Other families start to teach their kids sword when they are 7 years old..So it's okay for him to learn sword.."

"Okay then..if you said like that.." Father turned his face to Aurelio "Aurelio, you can learn about sword, but you learn it from me..."

"From father? Is my father familiar with sword" I asked.

"Oh my...It seems Aurelia doesn't know about your father's capability with a sword, dear.." Mother replied.

"I can't say it's familiar, but your father is capable of holding a sword, maybe more capable than Octavi.." Father answered.

"Well..It is good news for you right, Aurelio.." I turned my face to Aurelio.

"YES..Thanks sister Aurelia for talking it to father.." Aurelio thanked.

"Oh my my...If Aurelio is so interested with sword, is my Aurelia interested too with sword?"

"Octavi have asked it, mother. If I am interested in it, she told me she could teach me."

"Well, it is alright for you to learn sword too.." Father suggested.

"NOOO" Ophelia shouted "Sister Aurelia is a lady, why does she need to hold a sword?"

"My my...It seems Ophelia is so against sister Aurelia to hold a sword, why my Ophelia against it?"

"Because she is a lady, her beauty will be wasted if she focuses on a sword rather than a lady thing.."

"Your mother has held a sword too, even great with it." Father said.

Ophelia's face unbelieve what father said "Is it true, mother?"

"Yes it is..your mother had learnt sword since your age..."

"Why did my mother learn a sword??"

"Hmmmm..How can I say it...maybe to impress your father, your mother learnt about sword.."

Father's face was so nervous..
