“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
“You’re fucking joking, right?” Sett exclaimed in response to Azula’s demand. “How the fuck do you think I am? One Punch Man? There’s no way in hell that I, nor anyone else in this world would be able to master all one hundred eighty fighting styles!”“Not with that attitude, you can’t.” Azula sarcastically agreed to Sett’s complaint.“It’s impossible! Plus I have to balance all this physical training with character training as well! And God knows what methods you’ve prepared for the training period.” Sett cried out in distress.Azula on the other hand, though it was hard for her to admit it, she agrees with the point Sett was trying to make. She should know because she tried it for herself all her life. From the moment she learned how to deliver a punch, till the time she was assigned for the position of the Head of the Sapphire House.She dedicated most of her youth to endless rigorous, all to follow in the footsteps of her grandfather. The Origin of the Crow bloodline, and the only
“So nice of you to come and visit! Though you could have announced it at an earlier date so that I could have welcomed you properly.” Azula said as she gave Roman a short hug. “So, when did you arrive exactly? I didn’t hear a single word from your father that you were coming home.” She added, in her natural voice intonation.“I just got back actually. I really thought that I could finally have a couple days off, but here comes Dad, assigning me another buttload of missions.” Roman complains while letting himself inside Azula’s office.As Roman steps inside, he doesn't even bother to acknowledge Sett, nor Ann, who was still standing inside the room the whole time. Instead, he just sat himself down at the couch then decided to help himself with the snacks that were laid on the table.Azula then took a deep breath, as if preparing for what is to come of this situation they’re stuck in, then walked towards the couch. Seeing Roman swiftly consume the snacks she had prepared for Sett, which
