Mijail got up the next day and looked at the sky through his window. A week had passed since he was told by his father that he arranged a marriage with Lewis' old daughter. Then, on the last day of the week, he was invited to the Lewis Mansion by Kenneth to go to the Christmas party. His parents gave him permission, mainly to meet the daughter than to enjoy the party.
He looked at his luggage and sighed. This was the first time he was going to spend the night in another place since he transcended to this parallel world. Furthermore, he was going to meet the woman he would probably marry.
Sadly, his slowness and innocent-self made him missed the look that would receive him in the reception hall of the Lewis Mansion.
Mijail took his luggage and went downstairs. His sister Frieda was smiling giving thumps up, 'I don't understand this girl', Mijail thought. When he was talking about the arranged marriage, his sister was angry with their father, but now that he was going to meet the Lewis girl, she was strangely happy and supportive. His brothers, Hackett and Heller, just told me to be careful with my actions because of my health.
Outside the Mo-Uh's house was a black car parked. The owner of the car was the Lewis family, which they sent to wait and bring Mijail to the mansion.
"Well, I'll see you next week for New Year's Eve," Mijail smiled and bide farewell to his family.
"If you want to spend the New Year over there, I'll help you get the approval of our father," Frieda said with a smile. Her to other brothers looked at her with confused faces, but, suddenly, a memory appeared in Hackett's mind: Kenneth's worried eyes and 'lustful' gaze that looked at Mijail while he was on the hospital bed.
"It is better if you co..." Hackett got the feeling to avoid leaving alone Mijail with that beast, but the looked that Frieda gave him made him shuddered and thought where his sister learned to give that kind of look.
"Take care," Mijail's mother said.
"Yes, mom!" Mijail answered.
Mijail entered the car and it began to drive far away to the Lewis mansion.
**************************
"So you just invited one person," Kenneth's mother looked at him expectantly.
She was expecting to see the beautiful woman her child fancy. His two sisters were also looking forward to meeting that person, especially Dayana: she was eager to meet someone from the outside world.
His father, as always, just gave a nod implying his concession to bring that person to their home.
After some waiting, the bell rang and the butler opened the door.
On the other side of the door was a youth with light-brown hair, forest-green color eyes, wearing a white T-shirt, and blue jeans. His face was a bit androgynous and a bit pale. It was obvious that he was affected by the blood-losing accident he had.
Immediately, Kenneth's parents identified the young man to be the one their daughter was going to marry.
"Kenneth, we will have a talk after this," Gustav shot a warning glance to his son, however, Kenneth ignored him.
He was admiring the beautiful appearance of that guy wearing his simple clothes with a face expressing that he didn't know what to do next.
Felicia also recognized him from the photo her father gave her, but no matter how handsome he was, she didn't felt anything towards him.
"Come in please" Kenneth approached Mijail while letting him enter his house.
"Thank you for the invitation" Mijail answered nervously: this was the biggest house he ever saw, and now he was going to spend a week living there. He was excited and nervous about the experience he was going to have there.
Suddenly, he cast his sight on a lady that was just like her brother: the white hair and blue eyes, however, her eyes were sparkling and excited to know the world, while Kenneth's eyes were deep and with a certain attraction that made Mijail feel that he was going to fall in them. 'Wait, what I'm thinking!' he thought as he silently and imperceptibly shook his head. However, Kenneth noticed his action and smiled faintly.
"They are my father and mother, and these two girls are my young sisters, the oldest is Felicia and the youngest is Dayana" Kenneth presented each member of his family.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. and Mrs. Lewis" Mijail saluted them respectfully. He still was nervous meeting his future inlaws.
"The pleasure is ours" Kenneth's mother answered with a smile.
"I have work to do, so I leave first. Please make yourself at home" Gustav told Mijail and then left to his office.
"I too have some things I need to finish, so I'll leave you with my children," Gloria told something to the maid and then smiled to her guest.
Kenneth and company watched their parents go, and then Felicia looked at Mijail.
"I can bake some desserts," Felicia told Mijail nervously.
"I can help you if you want," Mijail said.
In his other life, he loved to cook when he was younger, but school left him without time to spare.
"Ok," Frieda said and took Mijail to the kitchen.
"I want to help too" Dayana ran behind them.
Kenneth looked at Mijail and followed them.
In the kitchen, the ice finally broke and they began to talk.
"So, what are you studying Frieda?" Mijail asked her while putting the cupcakes in the oven.
"I'm studying gastronomy, I love to cook so I want to become the best chef" Frieda answered hopeful and determined.
"Yes, my sister's cook is the best" Dayana smiled.
"And you Dayana, what do you like to do?" Mijail looked at the clock and then at the little girl that was helping Kenneth finish the leftover chocolate and berries.
"I love to draw, I have many drawings in my room. Come, I'll let you see them," Dayana went to the side of Mijail and took his hand.
Kenneth followed them while Felicia stayed at the kitchen to watch out the oven. He was surprised to see Mijail easily get along with his sisters, that was something difficult to achieve; even his sister Dayana let him saw her drawings that were her treasure.
"This drawing is pretty" Mijail took one that was of a man and a star sky.
"That is my brother Kenneth watching the stars," Dayana said proudly.
"Oh, I see" Mijail continued looking at the drawings and understood that Dayana admired Kenneth.
After some minutes, they returned to the kitchen to help Felicia finish the cupcakes.
