In The Devil's Possession
Chapter 2
After cleaning the room again, I went back to my room.
Liscia Primrose
I just want to live a peace and quiet life.
I then lay on my bed and fell asleep.
The next day, father, stepmother, sister and I were all in the dinning room having breakfast. I wasn't allowed to without their permission.
Evelyn Primrose
Did you enjoy yourself, sweetie?
Penelope Primrose
Yes, mother.
Lucius Primrose
I glad to hear that dear.
Lucius Primrose
I wanted my daughter to have the best birthday ever.
Lucius Primrose
Next time I'll hold a banquet.
Penelope Primrose
You mean it?
Lucius Primrose
Anything for my angel.
Penelope then turned to me.
Penelope Primrose
What about her?
Lucius Primrose
She has already passed the age for those things.
Lucius Primrose
Besides, I'm sure she not interested in those sort of things.
Lucius Primrose
Isn't that right Sara?
I was hesitant for a moment and he began to glare at me.
Liscia Primrose
Yes, father.
Penelope Primrose
Your the best father.
As we were all eating, someone suddenly came to the manner.
They requested to see father.
Lucius Primrose
Excuse me a moment.
He then left to speak with the person.
After awhile, he then returned.
Lucius Primrose
Evelyn, I would like a word with you.
Evelyn Primrose
Is everything alright, dear?
Lucius Primrose
Let's discuss it in private.
Lucius Primrose
Penelope, sweetie.
Lucius Primrose
Why don't you go and take a walk in the garden.
Penelope Primrose
Alright.
Lucius Primrose
Sara go with her and attend to her every need.
Liscia Primrose
Yes, father.
We both then headed towards the garden.
Evelyn Primrose
What's wrong dear?
Lucius Primrose
The men that were just here were Dolt's men.
Evelyn Primrose
Dolt the loan shark?
Evelyn Primrose
What does he want?
Lucius Primrose
He wants his money.
Lucius Primrose
50000 rubies.
Evelyn Primrose
That much?
Evelyn Primrose
What you use 50000 rubies for?
Lucius Primrose
Well since it was Pen's birthday, I wanted it to be special.
Lucius Primrose
I let both of you to buy all the dresses you wanted and arranged for a luxurious dinner.
Evelyn Primrose
And that's how much was spent?
Evelyn Primrose
When does he want it?
Lucius Primrose
At the end of the week.
Evelyn Primrose
We can't get 50000 rubies at the end of the week.
Evelyn Primrose
What are we going to do?
Lucius Primrose
They did offer us a deal.
Evelyn Primrose
What deal?
Lucius Primrose
They said that there looking for someone to serve their master.
Lucius Primrose
If I offer them my daughter, they'll let it go.
Evelyn Primrose
You want us to sell pen off to an old man?
Evelyn Primrose
I can't even imagine the things he'll do to her.
Evelyn Primrose
And what will happen if we don't.
Lucius Primrose
Dolt will send more men and they'll also take pen.
Evelyn Primrose
Not my pen, they can't take her.
Lucius Primrose
It's the only way we can avoid any trouble with Dolt.
Evelyn Primrose
But Pen's still young.
Evelyn Primrose
What about that girl?
Evelyn Primrose
She's also your daughter.
Evelyn Primrose
They said your daughter, but not which one.
Evelyn Primrose
We can give her to Dolt, pay off our dedt and keep pen.
Lucius Primrose
That's a good idea.
Lucius Primrose
I'll send word to them about my decision.
