“Hey Dear! I got an answer from Duke Helstein.” A man in his forties entered a room.He is a obese man with a bald head and pink eyes. He was Marquis Jaden's family Head, Brad Heyman Jaden and his wife who is also in her forties with long beige hairs and brown eyes.
“What is in it, My dear? Did they accept your proposal? Is it Jacob or John's hand in marriage.” She asked her with enthusiasm, as the two girls, sitting besides her, were excited to hear. They both have long pink hairs and eyes, potentially beautiful on their own Rights.
“Ah ….., it's Hunter's …..” A silence filled the room after Marquis completed the letter. One of the girls started to shout, “I'm not going to marry him.”
“Have we not heard the rumors related to him beating his maid to the death almost.” The other girl also added.
“ Yes Dear! I agree with them. I won't allow my sweet hearts to be sent to those people. If it was Jacob or John, then it would have been a different story but Hunter no..”
“I agree with you Honey, But we can't just refuse this. We were the ones who suggested this marriage in the first place.”
“Yes, and We never thought that Hunter's name would come up. Is the Duchess Mocking us? Knowing Hunter's reputation, she must have done this.”
“But what should we do……. Wait..”
As the conversation was going on, a maid entered the room with tea in her hands. She poured tea in one of the cups before handing it towards the Duchess.
“Here! Mother.” It was Aaria. She seems to be around 13 years old. Then she poured tea into other cups before giving it to other girls.
Everyone in the room was just quietly watching Aaria doing her job. Suddenly one of the girls poured a hot cup of tea on Aria’s head as she was passing the tea to other girl.
“Are you really serving us this cold tea?” Even though she said that, the tea was boiling hot. The hot tea burned Aaria’s head.
“I'm sorry, Sister Aliya.”
“Who are you calling your sister? Huh…. Don't call us your sisters.”
“I'm sorry for misspeaking Sister Kate.”
“I just told you not to tell us that.” Kate threw a cold glass of water on her.
“C'mon girls, don't fight okay. Aaria, for now will you leave your room.
“Yes. Mother.”
“Aughhhhh….. I'm telling Brother Nicolas about it.” Aliya stormed out of the room, Kate also followed her. Aria picked up all the dishes and also left the room.

Marquis and Marquess, who were watching this, realized what they needed to do for this problem on their hands. “How about Aaria, Dear Helena!”Marquis Brad asked her wife with a smirk on his face.”How kind of you my Dear! I will tell her tonight.”

~At night.
Knock knock knock….

“Dear! Are you asleep.” Helena asked, standing in front of the door. The one who opened it was Aaria.

“Ahh…. Dear, you made me wait at the door today.” She said this while running through Aaria's hair. “Won’t you let me come in.”
Helena closed the door, sat on Aaria's bed and signaled her to sit beside her. As soon as Aria sat down, she started to speak,
”You know that your sisters don't hate you, Right! So, don't hate them or anything. Okay.”
“Yes Mother! I know that. You always tell me that every night.” Aaria said this with a soulless eyes and large smile.
“Aaa…. I know that. I love my dear Child. You know, I was very happy when you called me Mother in front of everyone and called your sisters even though they don't want to.”
“ Hehehe…. Yes I know right. When they get angry they become cute right? That's what you told me, Mother.”
“ You know, you are my proud child. Aaa… I forgot. Do you remember, Duke Helstein.”
“No, Mother.”
“Ahh…. I see I didn't tell you. My bad. Well this will be a big surprise for you. You are getting Engaged to one of their son named Hunter.Will you accept it?”
“Yes Mother, If this makes mother Happy, I will do it.”
“Aaa…. I was gonna punish you for making me wait at the door but you know what, I am so happy that I won't do it. Aren't you Happy.”
“Yes Mother, I'm very happy.”
“Then I will be leaving okay. Don't stay for too long. Okay.”
“Yes Mother.”

Helena leaves the room leaving Young Aaria grasping for the air and in tears as she said,
“Ple-please someone …. Save…m.me”
