Reincarnators Vs. Mcs

Chapter 5 - The thirsty father.

"Young lady, Your mother calls for you." The maid Alisa calls out.

Me and my brother aren't allow to own servants. Father thinks that if we are to be brought up correctly then we are to get by with our own hands.

"Alright, I will be right there."

I get up from the bed and stretch out my body. I look through my closet filled with fancy clothes. I decided that today I want to dress in decent clothes something not too flashy but not under the standard expect from a Duke daughter.

[I will settled with a red John deer dress.] The dress makes my eyes shine out and reveal my well form body that doesn't have extra fat. Thanks to have bening training with two monsters every afternoon for years.

I ask Alisa to do my hair before I dismiss her since I was too much of a hurry to meet my mother. She doesn't like to be kept waiting for long. She has punished me and my brother multiple times in the past because we were late by a couple of minutes.

[The last time, she had me practiced an etiquette poise for hours into the point I could do it even in my sleep] I pick some matching ruby earrings and shoes. After spraying some rose perfume on me. I dash for the Duchess office room.

Went I was near her office, I could hear the arguing voices of my mother and father.

" Artemis is old enough to go training with me and my men into the Grimm woods!!!!" Shouted my father.

"Artemis is a young lady. She doesn't need to practice swordsmanship like a barbarian!!! Who will marry her if she's less ladylike then she already is??!!!" Shout back my mother.

Mary Celeste Phoenix, My mother and The wife of Duke Phoenix. The Duchess Phoenix. She is a woman known for her beauty, intelligence and stubborn nature. The current Emperor was one of her many pursuers. But the winner was ultimately my father. He won because, of all only he swore to have her and only her for life. Mother is too proud to be a mere consort as they were the wishes of Emperor Remeo. So when Grandfather told her to marry father and knowing father will kept his promise, she agreed.

Leonardo Graviel Phoenix, My father, The Duke of Phoenix, and General Asura. He was a Marquis but was promoted with the support of Prince Qin of first rank and Grandfather Duke Hunter during the last all-out war against our neighbors of the west. The kingdom of the sun and The kingdom of the sea.

Prince Qin was order by the late emperor to lead the army to fight them. The Prince and Father were friends since they attended the academy. So father agreed to help, when the Prince came asking for help. They fought fiercely and viciously against the enemy army. But due to the enemy advantage in numbers they come close to winning and killing Prince Qin. But due to the efforts of Father, The prince manages to escape at the cost my father being taken captive. He was spear because they wanted to use him for ransom.

When they return victorious they found not the Emperor they expected but the new Emperor of the Luna Empire. The old Emperor having die at the hands of a jealous concubine. The former crown prince Romeo, now Emperor Remeo order for a party throw in honor of their efforts for winning the war. Emperor Remeo was generous and grant father the title of general Asura. Later fulfilling the request of Prince Qin.

Due to Father friendship with Prince Qin and later winning the hand of Mother. There is only politeness between him and the Emperor on the surface. But hatred and suspicions below.

"She is already engaged to The first prince!! what you should be worrying about is if she can handle that!!." My father roars.

"What bullshit!! that engagement was at most a verbal promise between you and the Emperor. Do you really think that cold-hearted brat would treasure our daughter!! He is not worthy!!!" Mother cries.

As much as I want to hear mother keep cursing that asshole, I can't let her keep going. There might be spies in the mansion. Plus the female protagonist and that commoner are destined to meet there by the actions of a Fenring wolf monster. The monster chases Raul in the woods for having stealing it's treasure and is later killed by the combined efforts of Raul and Elizabeth fighting together. After that incident that commoner follows her swearing to repay that flavor all his life.

letting such a powerful monster die a pitiful death is too much of a waste. if I can tame it or capture it before it fulfilled it's role then maybe after some training and leveling up then when it's time for the event to take place. I can release him stronger than before only this time making sure it kill Raul.

[Being torn to pieces...umm...yes that would be a fitting end for that commoner.] Having made up my mind. I step into the room.

"Mother, you call for me" I calls out, while making a courtesy when a Duke daughter meets her mother.

"Artemis!!! my dear, you are just in time. Come tell this useless father of yours how unbefitting training in the woods is for a young lady" My mother says as she comes around the table and hugs my tiny frame in her arms. Her b.r.e.a.s.ts squeezing me. The color of my mother eyes are purple and right now they are shining due to how emotional she is.

It's actually rare for him not to give in. He slaps himself out of the daze. he says softly "Artemis, sweetie I know. you know that training is necessary for everyone nowadays. It's neccessary to become stronger. Or you will crush under the foot of the strong."

I look at him. He looks like the caring strict father, I always knew. When he heard where The prince sent me and whose idea it was. He lead the Phoenix army torn down the prime minister house and slaughter everyone in it including the FL sister-like maids.

For making his beloved grief The first prince rise his own army, a civil war broke out. Only when the Prince of Qin intervened did it stop. But he was stripped of his rank and made a Duke. Both sides suffered a loss with my house suffering the most later being exterminate along with my unborn sibling my mother was carrying. They wouldn't even show a innocent child mercy. And neither will I went it's their turn.

I sniffed, my eyes going red, and I can feel the tears coming up. but I can't let them see. I wouldn't be able to explain. It's takes all my will power to hold back the tears at least for now. It takes me a moment to put a temporary emotion less facade.

"Mother" I begin " I know you want the best for me. But like father said it's necessary to have strength nowadays. These trouble times are dangerous for those who are weak. I may be a young lady however The blood of the Hunters and the general Asura flows in my veins. it's in my nature to crave to be stronger than anyone else, including Apollo."

Father looks relive. Mother looks like she has been hurt. That look almost makes me take back my words. And that's something that I can never do.

"Sweetie" she starts "I know that in your veins you carry the blood of monsters." she glares at father who looks away from her glare. Before looking back at me. "But that doesn't mean you are a monster or have to be one. " she hugs me even tighter. " Mother won't stop you if that is your wish but if feel that it's too much for you than come back. There is no shame in that. Let your big brother and father carry the burnders."

Father looks in agreement with mother. Mostly because she looking at him with a look that says 'I will kill you if you says otherwise'.

[These are my loving parents that will never dump me. Despite his cold exterior with his children, father is a big softie] I wipe the tears from my eyes and reforce my determination to protect this family. I turn to father and ask him "when do we part for grimm woods?.

I quickly get out of mother hug then run to the door. Mother right behind me. I make it out first locking it behind me, knowing full well what will happened next. Mother pounds the door demanding to be let out. Moments later mother's pleads are heard then the sound of her clothes being rip, m.o.a.ns and grunts follow and are heard all over the mation.
