Second Chance In Another Life Breakfast with new family EP4

The sunlight spills into the Vale estate’s breakfast hall.

Seraphine Vale/Sil (FL)

*comes down eyes widen by the interior*

Seraphine Vale/Sil (FL)

*hesitates at the doorway, taking a deep breath*

She’s never done this before—never had a normal breakfast with her family, never felt at ease around them. Her heart pounds.

Seraphine Vale/Sil (FL)

(Okay… just smile. Just say something. Don’t make a fool of yourself…)

Seraphine Vale/Sil (FL)

*steps forward and sits down at the table.*

Duke Maximilian Vale and Duchess Vivienne Vale glance at her

Seraphine Vale/Sil (FL)

*fidgets slightly, picking at her food nervously, then forces a small smile* Good morning… Father, Mother… did you sleep well?

Vivienne Vale/ Duchess (FL mom)

*blinks, surprised. Her lips twitch into a gentle smile* …You… you actually… spoke to us first?

Maximilian Vale/Duke (FL dad)

*puts down his cup, eyebrows raised, a faint laugh escaping him* oh my little girl is worried about us

Seraphine Vale/Sil (FL)

*swallows, cheeks slightly warm, but continues, her voice soft but earnest* I… I thought… breakfast could be… nice, if we… talked a little.

The original Seraphine has always distanced herself from her family only speaking when necessary, and have bad relationships with her brother. Well known dull person in society.

Vivienne Vale/ Duchess (FL mom)

*eyes widen, touched by the genuine curiosity and warmth* so sweet of you, we did sleep really well sweetie

Maximilian Vale/Duke (FL dad)

*Smiles faintly, shaking his head* Did you got some good news today? Is your sudden change because of it?

Seraphine Vale/Sil (FL)

*takes a small bite of toast, trying to act natural, though her hands tremble slightly* You can think like that too

Vivienne Vale/ Duchess (FL mom)

*soft voice* so unexpected but something we waited for long time

Seraphine Vale/Sil (FL)

*forces a small smile*

Maximilian Vale/Duke (FL dad)

*clears his throat, smiling faintly* By the way… your brother Adrian will be back from the academy in a week.

Seraphine Vale/Sil (FL)

*raises an eyebrow, curious* Really?

Vivienne Vale/ Duchess (FL mom)

*nods* Yes, and he won’t be alone. Two of his friends will be staying here temporarily. I hope you’ll welcome them properly

Seraphine Vale/Sil (FL)

Got it

Maximilian Vale/Duke (FL dad)

*watches her with a small, approving smile* A lively house is sometimes… better than silence.
