8. A Little Talk

Next day.

I started my daily practice. Thinking about the positive and negative side of my destruction magic and also other kind of magic. I thought of using fire magic, water magic, earth magic, lightning magic, wind magic etc. But I haven't started that yet. Just trying to take my destruction magic to advance level.

After my magic practice, I saw Rias coming out of her room with a very red eye. I'm sure she cried a lot. I don't know what mother said to her, but if she needs help I will help her to train but I won't solve her problems. She gotta do that on her own. Unless she will never grow. Just be a spoiled princess like in the canon. She is someone that doesn't learn unless she got hit. So I gotta be hard on her.

"Hey Rias, good morning." Hearing me Rias looked at me. " Good morning, Ash"

"So how do you feel?"I asked looking ahead. " I don't want to mary him, Ash." Rias said. This time I asked her looking into her eyes," What do you want to do?". She looked at me nervously, " I don't know. Maybe ask big brother to help me." " Help you with what?" I asked still looking in her eyes. She got nervous and said meekly, ".... I don't know..."

I looked away with disappointment. Seriously, how much a spoiled brat is she! I sighed and walked away. "Let's have lunch." She came with me to the table.

On the way I was thinking about my mentality. Has my mentality changed? If you asked me that I will surely reply that it has. There is no doubt that it changed greatly. I don't know what is the reason for this change. It may be for my rebirth or new body or for new familiar love. May be all of them. But another question is rise. 'Is it the mentality of a 8 years child.' I don't know the answer of this question. She may seem childish to me but essentially isn't she just a child. Just because my mentality is high I can't judge others by this. But still I want influence her to grow up fast before something hits her hard.

We arrived at the table to have lunch. We had our lunch. Then we walk around the house a bit. After some walking I saw our mother at the garden of our house along with sister Grafiya. Mother called out to us so we went to her.

"How was your day, Ash " she asked. "Nothing big mother." I said sitting a chair. Rias took the seat beside me. "How are you Rias?" She asked Rias worryingly. Rias looked down without replying. Mother sighed and looked at us. " There is a noble gathering in the next week. Both of you will participate in it. Your fiancé and fiancée will be there. So that you can communicate with each other. Also Rias you're the heiress of the Gremory family. So you have to act like one."

One thing I like about it that they don't look down on women. That's why she is the heiress as she is older. This is good. When she takes over I will help her and lead my peaceful life. Yeah. Definitely doing that.

"I don't want to meet with him." Rias said. "Then work hard, dear. That's all I can tell you." Mother said. I looked at mother with a shocked look. Now I wonder what they talk about yesterday.

(Yesterday night. At Rias's room)

(Venelana POV)

I closed the door and looked at Rias. She was crying. I went to her and started brushing my hand on her head. She looked at me and then jumped at me. I hugged her." I don't want to marry him mother. I want to find my own partner." She said. I didn't say anything just brush my hand on her head.

My daughter is childish compared to my youngest son. Maybe it's the other way around. My son was always respect others and listen to others. But if there is something he doesn't like, he will stay against it. That is a good character. That's why I told him that he is strong. And he will thrive if he lives with that mentality. But my daughter is cute and Innocent. She is willful and rely on others a bit too much compared to my son. That's why she couldn't stand against her father like her little brother did. She needs to be strong.

" Listen Rias. If you want to break this marriage you have to be strong without relying on your family. Your brother went against your father with his own opinion. You have to have your own opinion too. If not you would not know how to be strong. So work hard, dear, for your future."

That's all I can say. It depends on you my daughter how you do. I can give you suggestion but can not do it for you honey.

Hearing me she nods. After some time she fell asleep. I tucked her in the bed then left the room. Now I have to talk a little bit with my husband it seems.
