Preparation for D-Day (1)
Once Sebastian returned with a tray of food, Nami nibbled on the bland food. She carefully observed the two at the corner of her eye.
[That's right... I'm not acting normal... This is right after the massacre. I need to be more timid and afraid, but...]
"Sebastian." Nami called out.
"Yes, Nami-sama." Sebastian bowed, waiting for her orders.
"How many days has it been since that incident?"
"It has been exactly 35 days."
Nami frowned to herself, noting his words.
[In that case, I'll soon meet my other family members... No. They are my aunt's family.]
A small sneer graced her lips for a moment before fading away.
"Aunt must be on her way here then." She commented.
"Yes. Your aunt will arrive in a week." Sebastian muttered. His eyes narrowed as if the very thought was abhorred.
"Let's give them a most-fitting welcome then." Nami's fists tightened. "Maria."
"Yes, Nami-sama."
"Bring all of the papers to me."
"But-"
"Do it."
"I understand."
Once Maria walked out of the room, Sebastian murmured. "Please do not blame Maria for being hesitant, Nami-sama. It hasn't been that long since the incident, so she is worried."
"I do not blame her. However, I cannot allow my aunt to do as she pleases. If she takes the company from me, our future will be in great turmoil." She looked at Sebastian. "I cannot cry forever, Sebastian. I have to win against Aunt this time. If I don't, I..."
Seeing the turmoil and inner struggle in his mistress' eyes, he bowed to her. "I will do everything in my power to help you succeed. Maria and I will not leave you alone. That would go against all of our principles. After all, your family has helped us both tremendously in the past. To leave you to fend for yourself against those pack of wolves... That would be unreasonable and a shameful action to take."
"Thank you, Sebastian." Nami tiredly smiled to him.
He watched his young mistress with relief and with sadness. After all, she grew up too fast in his opinion. "Do you have any other orders for me?"
"Bring uncle to me immediately and on the day my aunt arrives." She whispered out.
"Understood."
She then looked out the window with a solemn expression.
[This time... This time, I'll bring you down first before you take me down, Aunt. I won't give you anything even if I die in this lifetime. The company... My family assets... Those I care about... I will take you down before you touch a single strand of my hair.]
[A week... That should be enough time to prepare for D-day.]
Her lips widened into a smirk.
Keep the reviews coming! :D
