"Izekiel! It's been a while.."
Jenette smiled and hugged him.
Izekiel didn't hug her back,
Instead she pushed Jenette slowly to create a distant,
"A-ah.. I'm sorry.. your highness, i'm not used to hugs.."
He apologies.
"Oh.. it's fine! Don't worry"
Jenette smiled and waved her hands.
"Let us enjoy the tea while it's warm!"
"Sure, as you wish"
"Today is very beautiful, isn't it?"
Jenette opens up first.
"The sun is shining very bright today.. thats why i picked indoor instead.."
"Oh"
"Today, the grand magician came!"
Jenette tells Izekiel,
"That magician from our school! Lucas"
"Oh"
"He came to cure father.."
Jenette explains Lucas's arrival.
"Oh, how was he?.."
Izekiel asked.
"He is fine, so far. Mother had tea with him yesterday, so i'm sure he is fine because mother know how to handle him!"
Jenette boldly assumes.
"Wow, thats great"
Izekiel smiled.
"Oh, izekiel.. i heard last time.. my real father appeared in the academy!"
Jenette said, giving him a shock face.
Izekiel glanced to Jenette, he knew Anastacius is in disguised, but how did she knew..
"R-really?.. his majesty?.."
"Not his majesty.."
Jenette shook her head, she looks around to make sure nobody is here,
"My biological father, the late emperor before father. People said he appears out of nowhere.. isn't that great?.. It means i can see him again!"
Izekiel starred at Jenette in disbelief,
"Ah.. is that so?.. do you really wanna see your real father?.."
"Yes, of course. He made me with mother, why wouldn't i?.. besides he left athy with mr Patterson, he must not like Athy at all.."
Jenette explains,
"There could be a small chance that it happens because he still care for me.."
'What the..'
Izekiel is really getting confused on her. He didn't know what hit her head today until it turned her like this.
"Oh, haha?.."
"But.. i sadly didn't know where he is nowadays.."
Jenette pouted.
"I really wanna see him, and hug him.."
"Why?.."
"Because he is my real father, silly!"
Jenette chuckled.
"Ah.. ahahha.."
Izekiel nervously laughed.
He actually cannot handle more of this non-sense.
"But.. i want father and him to get along! They should've be kind to eachother!"
Jenette adviced.
"Jenette!"
Somebody called, her tone made her sounded angry and mad.
"Don't you dare talk about that bastard, ever again!"
Penelope swears infront of two children without a single care.
"Y-yes.. mother.. i'm sorry.."
Jenette apologizes.
"Lady Penelope! It's nice to see you today!"
Izekiel greeted.
"Izekiel, darling, nice to see you here too.."
Penelope smiled, like a wicked smile, since her face is EVIL.
"Jenette, please watch your mouth, we do not spell that cursed name in this palace."
"Yes.. mother.."
Jenette nods.
"By the way mother, what brings you here?"
"I was here for giving you the brooch you ordered last time"
Penelope replied.
"What is it for? Anyways.."
"The brooch?.."
Jenette's eyes widened, soon, her mouth smiled like a doll, creepy and odd,
"Great!"
"Mkay, here?.."
Penelope handed the box of brooch to her.
"What is it for?.."
"I'll tell you later, mother"
Jennette said,
"I don't wanna leave Izekiel hanging.."
•••
"The brooch, explain to me, it's hella expensive"
Penelope quickly asked to the point.
"Oh mother.. it's funny how your position is lower than mine"
Jenette chuckled.
Penelope narrowed her eyes and grab her by the hair,
"You bi-"
"Stop, or i'll tell father"
Jenette tells Penelope and starred at her coldly.
"Whats wrong with you?! Why are you like this?!"
Penelope yelled.
"The brooch is meant for Athy"
Jenette said.
"H-huh?.. You asked me to buy that for that sinner?!"
Penelope's eyes are filled with rage.
"Yes, as you see, it's not a normal stone.. this stone can absorb magic.. if Athy use this.. this should take her magic away.."
Jenette explains and show the shining stone.
"So?!"
"Then i can use her magic to promote you to become the empress, as you wanted, mother. If father can trust your creation here more because of talent, i'm sure he'll like me more"
Jenette grinned.
"You're so stupid, mother, i thought you'll notice from earlier.."
"Watch your mouth!"
Penelope starred at Jenette.
"Whatever.. her birthday is close., i can convince her to wear this stone on that same day too.. this could kill her too.. but i don't care.."
Jenette chuckled.
"Nobody loves her anyways!"
