"You own a private jet? Oh, please, let me guess you also know this airport." The businessman sarcastically said he was mocking Sett for being boastful. Well, people could say whatever they want, but there should be a limit to their ignorance!Immediately, the businessman's wife didn't forget to comment on the side."What did I say? He's not only a "fraud" but has a mental issue! There's no way I would board the plane with him; who knows what he'll do?""Right, right." A busybody commented on the side.At this juncture, everyone in the airport's waiting area starts to side with the couple, as they agree with their statements, although they're a bit unreasonable. Though there were exceptions, they too were led by the opinions of others. After all, it does indeed seem logical that the young man, Sett, shouldn't be allowed on the plane, as clearly, he wasn't in the right mind to board the plane.At this point, Sett was feeling troubled as the commotion was starting to escalate. With tha
Meanwhile, at the residence of the Crow family, there was a special historical ambiance around the tall structures. Two pretty servants were seen on the wide expanse of land; they appeared to be waiting for someone while chatting. "Sister Jessica, is the young master handsome?" The younger girl wearing a maid outfit spoke out of curiosity. She had cute dimples on her face that made her attractive, and with her energetic persona, it "Sister Ann, don't get your hopes up." Sister Jessica had a cold temperament, and she would simply reply with a short sentence. How could she possibly not understand what her sister Ann was thinking? Suddenly, Sister Ann's blue eyes sparkled as she thought of something. "Sister, could it be that the elders are favoring us so much that they want us to personally welcome the young master? I can't wait to tell the other sisters that they are personally receiving the young master, the rightful heir!" "Ha, if he's that important, why would they send us to w
“I also agree, Roman indeed has proven that he is a worthy heir. His achievements exceptionally exceed that of Dean’s achievements” A voice of an elderly woman spoke in agreement.“Now, now. May I remind you that Roman and Dean’s achievements always end up in a tie. Roman just has a, ‘one point lead’ against Dean, that’s all.” Another voice could be heard in the hallway.‘These old people sure like to shout. Given their age, that shouldn't be allowed,’ Sett thought to himself.“Where are we headed exactly?” Sett asked casually, which made the Head Butler irritated because of his calm composure.“I’m leading you to the Heart of the Crow Family Residence. Where the three elders are waiting for you.” The Head Butler answered hoping that it would bring worry upon Sett’s face, but it wasn’t enough to break Sett’s calm and collected expression.Sett already knew what the Head Butler was doing. He wants to see Sett be overwhelmed with his emotions. He wants to see him panic and nervous. Litt
Sett was now the center of attention to everyone in the room. The audible whispers filled with confusion and disbelief were echoing all over the place. Sett could feel and hear everything, and he hates it. But what he hates more is the fact that he can’t do anything about it.If he can, he would have grabbed all their mouths and staple them shut so that they can’t speak again. But he couldn’t. All he could do was stand there, with his fist clenched and his jaw tightened.But out of nowhere, a voice rose up that stopped the whispers. “You really are bad at first impressions, dear brother.” The female voice said in a teasing tone.Radcliffe and Sett’s attention were caught as they turned and saw a gorgeous lady walking towards where they were standing. She had waist long, silky, black hair and a gorgeous pair of ocean blue eyes. But what made Sett even more curious was that this lady’s figure and facial features were somewhat familiar, like he saw her somewhere not too long ago.The gor
“Wait, you’re Rowena Azula Crow?” Sett asked out loud in astonishment. Still processing the thought that this woman in front of him is his aunt.“Please, just call me “Aunt Zula”. No need for all these formalities, we are family after all.” Azula said while giving Sett a cheek-to-cheek kiss.Sett was too stunned to speak. After everything that happened, he felt even more embarrassed. Quietly groaning was the only response Sett could make. He should have asked for her name earlier, to prevent making things weird now. Sett just face-palmed himself again because he couldn’t bear to endure the overwhelming embarrassment that he was currently feeling.“What’s the matter sweetie? Cat got your tongue?” Azula teasingly said, making fun of Sett even further. She knew what Sett was thinking and the thought of it made her laugh even more. Later on, Sett found his aunt’s laugh contagious to the point that it made him laugh as well. As they both slowly recovered from laughing, Sett asked her about
Sett was lost for words. He didn’t expect that her aunt had this much confidence in him. It’s like Azula sees something in him that he couldn’t see himself. She was so sure that he had the potential to be the heir of the Crow Family. All it takes is just a little nudge to get the ball of stone rolling. “But how can I beat Roman? Like you said, he has all the members of this household’s approval?” Sett asked, trying to find out if his Aunt Zula really does have a plan along with the pep talk she gave him. “Oh trust me dear boy, I have it all under control. Just play your part and give your best effort.” Azula said while still mischievously smiling at Sett. “But before that, we must get you a new set of wardrobes. A ragged look doesn’t fit .” She adds while eyeing Sett done from heat to toe. They both went to the east wing of the Crow Manor where the entrance to the House of Sapphire is located. The moment they arrived at another big, double entrance door. After the servants bowed to
Sett was uncertain whether to feel joy or worry when his aunt welcomed him to her house. After the big information drop that her house only welcomed women, makes Sett feel out of place. On top of that, the twelve women lined behind his aunt were giving him the look of disapproval, like they’re eyes were shouting obvious words that even a dull minded person could understand.But as Sett shifted his gaze towards his aunt, he could see the excitement and joy within those ocean blue eyes for hers. She was happy, genuinely happy. Sett doesn’t know why, nor the reason for her happiness, but one thing is for sure. He didn’t want the eyes of the only family member who acknowledged him to be filled with tears of disappointment.“Please excuse us mother but may we ask who this young man is, and what is the purpose of his visit here?” One of the twelve women politely asked Azula.“Oh! Where are my manners, of course my dear. Sett, come, come, I’ll introduce you to these fine, young ladies here.”
The conversation that Sett and Azula had was an enjoyable one. She was amused with Sett’s curiosity and his eagerness to assess and understand the situation. This made Azula even more intrigued and thus, rewarded Sett with the answers that he so desperately sought.However, every answer that Sett received didn't actually satisfy him. For him, his aunt was carefully word picking while masking it as a woman, having a pleasurable time conversing with a man. Given her status, it was a sure skill that she must learn to reach the position she is in today.“So, what were your first impressions with the twelve?” Azula asked Sett, trying to start a new topic for them to share.“Nothing much. But I am curious to know who they really are.” Sett replied.“Oh, take it easy, dear boy. You just met them but you’re already planning something that intimate? How bold of you.” Azula mischievously said, trying to tease Sett again.“You know that’s not what I meant.” Sett chuckled in response.Azula frown
