[ Chapter 26 : Masterpiece ]

I see Yeshua already grabbed a chair and I hold mom's hand as we assist her to sit down and she takes a sip of the glass of water she had.

" I can't believe my eyes " I turn around to aunt Hyria who's approached the tapestry and had her hand all over the design.

" If I'm not mistaken these are the golden wool made out of those beavela worms, there are very high quality and extremely rare to get, some are not even sold in the market " she said.

" However, filial piety is not just about offering invaluable gifts Paige, what matters the most is sentiment " aunt Hyria turns to her and Paige snickers a little.

" It should be so, therefore, in order to prepare this birthday gift, I start studying the materials of the wool of which is best to use that also holds a history " she starts.

" In the end I stumbled upon a golden wool that I know will catch the eye of everyone but also will the people have a remembrance of this day " Paige said.

" It was only yesterday that I managed to finish the tapestry, so I wish grandmother a long life and great blessing " she curtsy again.

" Oh Paige, this sentiment of yours can't be surpassed by just anyone! " Grandmother chuckles.

" Miss Paige's gift is one of a kind! " I hear one said.

" Madam L/n is so blessed " another said.

I look around and the tension is a bit thin between us but others doesn't seem to suspect it. Aunt Talia seems to be enjoying the show.

" Look at the weaving skills, such a wonderful sentiment! " Tessa approaches the tapestry.

" I could never ever do anything like this, Paige, you truly live up to your reputation of a gifted lady! " Tessa said.

I see she was about to approach Paige but aunt Hyria grabs her before that. They walk aside and the tapestry are put away, Tessa really likes praising Paige, does she have no regards for her own sister?

" Thank you for the compliments " Paige smiles.

I see aunt Hyria taking a seat by her chair with Malia, holding her hand and caressing her fingers. Their face expression tells it all of the embarrassment they just received from that.

" It's distasteful I know " I look up beside mom to see aunt June with her glass of red drink that I don't know of.

" I reckon Paige didn't even so much as move a finger " aunt June said.

" That's insulting " I said.

" Her mother is from house Vaitla, she can afford whatever she wants, I'm ashamed to call her my sister in law " mom said and drink her water.

Yeshua suddenly nudge me and I look up at him who gestures his head to me as a sign, I smile and nodded. I walk over to the front and stood by grandmother, I tilt my head at her as I giggle in excitement with a wave.

" Y/n? " She asked.

" We can't forget about my gift now can we? " I asked with my hands behind me.

" Who's she? " I hear a whisper.

" How dare she just abruptly come up to her like that? "

" She's the illegitimate daughter "

" Oh, no wonder "

" What gifts have you prepared me, dear? " Grandmother asked.

I clap my hands twice in the air and I see Jemma has brought two manservants to bring the huge size canvas covered in a blanket. I look at mom and my brothers who has a confused face, I wink.
