"Vendia," Mother called as we had our evening dinner as a family,

"Yes, mother?" I answer,

"Can you join me tomorrow?" She mentions,

"Of course, mother. To where?"

"Mrs. Jean, the viscount wife, has invited me to her tea party tomorrow," Mother mention,

"Oh,"

"You don't have to worry. The only people who got invited. Are those who had influence and help her family for years," Mother explains, and I smile,

'Is not like that, I don't know her. I don't remember her name being mention inside the book,'

"You two must be careful," Father, join in our conversation,

"Darling, you don't have to worry."

"Oh, why can't I?"

"Because, Aloit will be with us tomorrow," Mother replies,

"He's back?" father surprised,

"Yes,"

"Will, that's surprising. How's his family and him?" Father asks,

"They're doing fine," Mother answer,

"That's good to hear. Did you mention why we couldn't visit them for so long?"

"Yes, and he understands,"

"Good, let's go visit him and his family when I finish the things for our business," Father mention,

"That's a good Idea, father," I felt excited,

"Of course, miss. I'd love to," Mary reply, then they proceed towards Vendia wardrobe and choose a dress for her to dress for tomorrows tea party,

"How about this slight pink dress with a spring theme, miss," Mary suggested,

"Oh, that's pretty,"

"Mother, what are those?" Vendia asks as she saw the box her mother has been holding all this time.

"Ah, this box?" Madam Rose responds,

"They're gifts,"

"Gift?"

"Oh, okay, come. What did you bring?" Mrs. Jean saw the box Madam Rose had been holding,

"Ah, is a gift for you all,"

"Oh, now I am curious to see what kind of gift you made this time. But for now, let's go, have a seat inside. Everyone is have been waiting for you to arrive,"

"HA HA HA, Okay,"

"Everyone, our last guest has arrived," Mrs. Jean mention, and everyone greets Madam Rose except one person, who stares at her full of resentment,

"Oh, no one informs me that the Villain mother is here," Duchess Aerwen mention. Everyone looks at her in silence,

"Uh, of course. Duchess is a party, is normal that I invite everyone," Mrs. Jean answer, defending Madam Rose.

Mrs. jean, and madam rose, are best friends since birth. Their family also is close and had been in an alliance for so many years now.

"I see. You're defending your best friend now. Mrs. Jean?"

"No. Is not like that,"

"Don't you know that her daughter had done so many horrible things to my daughter?" Duchess Aerwen start her accusation, and everyone felt a weight atmosphere,

"What are you trying to imply, Duchess?" Madam Rose reply not backing out.

"You know well. Your daughter is a demon!" Duchess Aerwen shouts in anger.

"How dare you call my daughter like that," Madam Rose responds, trying to stay calm.

"Why? Is true,"

"You are accusing my daughter of things you don't have, even proof. Are you that a small-minded person, duchess?" Madam Rose fire back,

"What?" Duchess Aerwen had taken aback.

"Don't accuse my daughter into something you don't even have solid proof of,"

"Keep your daughter away from my daughter," Duchess Aerwen death glare,

"And keep your tongue inside your mouth," Madam Rose answer, fighting back at her,

"Mother, sorry, I'm late. But I'm here now," Vendia arrive smiling. Everyone got surprised and look at her,

"Vendia," Madam Rose mention,

"Is something wrong, Mother?" Vendia asks, don't have an idea about the situation.

"Come on, let's go home, is not a good idea to attend this tea party today," Madam Rose went over to her and hold her right hand and drag her away to the crowd.

"But wait, mother. We just got here,"

"Don't mind that,"

"Rose!" Mrs. Jean shouts at them, feeling sorry. Vendia look back and saw the duchess glaring at her,

"Cathlen, mother?" She mentions as they keep walking away,

"What happened?" Sir Aloit, surprised,

"Let's go home," Madam Rose get inside the carriage,

"What is going on?" Sir Aloit ask Vendia,
