Chapter 40

A door opened, and a woman with long, messy, blond hair and summer bright eyes entered the room. In her hand an envelope which she held close to her chest.

For a moment, she just stood there, and simply observed what her children and husband were doing.

The youngest daughter and husband were sitting on a couch, playing a video game. The oldest daughter behind them, standing, smiling, clearly enjoying herself as she watched those two compete in an even game so far. Two other daughters were to the far-left side of the room, talking about something. The rest of her children weren't present.

Taking in a shaky breath, she spoke up.

"Oi, me've got a letter," She said, and everyone turned to look at her. Their eyes widening when they noticed that she was crying. "It's from our wonder-kid, Jaune." She barely managed to utter, and it took but a single moment before everyone exploded into a mayhem of emotions.
