Meeting with the duke

(heading towards the dining hall)

Xiao Xiao : (" ah? Why isn't anyone here?")[ system 321, could tell me why isn't anyone in the dining hall? Do they not dine together?]

System 321 : [{it's because she was afraid of her family, my host. And they noticed that she was afraid of them.}]

Xiao Xiao : [ what the-!, it was when she was only five and was still getting used to her new environment. 'Cause she had just lost her family in the carriage accident. And I'm 10 years old now.(well,My actual age was 12 and I was in 10th grade.)]

System 321: [{yes, my host. But the duke's family don't know how to behave around children, so they kept their distance from her, so she doesn't feel uncomfortable.}]

Xiao Xiao : [what!? If I remember correctly the duke and the duchess has a son. How come they don't know how to behave around children?]

System 321 : [{Because their son wasn't like normal children. They were mature like adults from the age 1 so the duke and the duchess didn't have to spoil or take care of their child like other kids.}]

Xiao Xiao :(" WA! They really are parents and child. And I also knew that she was an adopted daughter of the Duke Bladeniy's family. She was adopted into this family because "my" mother and the duchess were best friends so when she heard of her death she was really heartbroken and decided to adopt "me" who had no family or relative left.")

Maya : my lady, is the breakfast not to your taste?

Xiao Xiao : oh, No. I was just thinking of going to the father's office to discuss something. Could you show me the way?

Maya : but my lady, your breakfast-

Xiao Xiao : I will dine with my family.(smile)

Maya : !? Yes, my lady.

(heading towards the office)

Xiao Xiao : (knock on the door)

Duke Bladeniy(Cede Bladeniy) : Come in. (in deep voice)

Xiao Xiao : (enter the office) greeting, father.(bows)

Cade Bladeniy :(quickly stands up from his chair) what brings you here, Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao : (stands straight and looks at the duke)(" Wow, he is really handsome, with light blue hair and sparkly dark blue eyes with fair skin. I'm guessing the duchess must have fallen for his looks.") I came to discuss something with you, father.

Cade Bladeniy : com, sit down first.(nervously)

Xiao Xiao : (" ah? How can "Xiao Xiao" not notice that this family loves her so much when they try to make her feel comfortable in such a clumsy way.") (walks towards the sofa)

Cade Bladeniy : so, what brings you here, Xiao Xiao?

Xiao Xiao : Dad, why aren't you, Mom and brothers dining with me anymore? Do I make guys feel uncomfortable?( making a teary face)

Cade Bladeniy : No! We just thought that you were uncomfortable around us, so we decided to avoid you to not make you feel uncomfortable. (explaining quickly and nervously)

Xiao Xiao : I never felt uncomfortable around you guys! I was just unfamiliar with my new surroundings and was trying to get used to it.(looks at the duke ganunly)

Cade Bladeniy :(" ah! It must be hard for her to get used to her new environment. And on top of that she heard her parents died when she was only five. It must have been very hard for her. But we thought by ourselves not even asking her opinion that she was scared of us.")( making a guilty face)

Xiao Xiao : then if the misunderstanding is solved can we go to the dining hall together, all family members.(looks at the)

Cade Bladeniy : of course! You go and wait in the dining hall, Me and your mother will come shortly.

Xiao Xiao : Mmm!(smiled happily)(" okay, Done! Oh, there is one thing that I remember now, the duchess's son is 12 years old, and he is a genus in everything and the novel said that he is much more handsome than the" male lead" of this story. And thank God he was just an extra. He attended the impreal academy at the age of 5 so, "I" haven't really seen him in person because he was always busy in the academy with his own schedule. And he is coming tomorrow. I really can't wait to see him.")

System 321 : [{ah! My host, the "female lead" of this story has come to the duke's mansion just like the main story plot.}]

Xiao Xiao :("oh. She must be here to shake hands with the duke because her fate was to die by the hands of the "male lead" of this story who was the crown prince in the story and if she wanted to live she had to shake hands with powerful houses. So she decided to shake hands with the duke Bladeniy. But the duke didn't shake hands with her no matter what she did so she had to give up on duchy Bladeniy and had to go to other houses. But I don't get why the duke didn't shake hands with her when he already hated the impreal family so much. But the reason wasn't mentioned why they hated the impreal family. But at the end of the story the female lead fell for her future killer.")

 (arrived in the dining hall)

Xiao Xiao : (" well, it doesn't matter to me. I'm just an extra.") (sat down on the chair)

Maya : how did it go, my lady?

Xiao Xiao : oh, you mean my talk with my father?

Maya : (Nods)

Xiao Xiao : it went very smoothly and the result was excellent. I'm glad I decided to talk to him.(smiles happily)

Maya : then, that's good.(sigh of relief)

Xiao Xiao : thanks for worrying about me, Maya.(smiles gently)

Maya : it's nothing, it's our duty.(blushes)

 ( The duke and duchess enter the dining hall)

Duke Bladeniy and duchess Bladeniy : sorry for keeping you waiting, Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao : (" it looks like the duke talked things out with the duchess. I don't really know what they talked about, but I am guessing they might be blaming themselves for accusing things by themselves and avoiding me for 5 years")

Duke and duchess : (looking at Xiao Xiao with love in their eyes)

Xiao Xiao : Good morning, mother and father.(smiles happily at them) (" Wow, duchess is also very beautiful. Light long red hair and green eyes.")

Duchess Siya : ( !?! ){ happily having tears in her eyes}
