Capítulo 18: Come to mother

The vehicle arrived home, the door slid open and I stepped out, at the entrance of the mansion were the servants, since the eldest daughter had moved out only males remained.

It is not as lively but I did not mind this.

Entering the mansion I changed my shoes and quickly entered my rooms, stripped and stepped into the shower.

I cleaned myself by soaping first, scrubbing with a sheep wool cloth, repeated using only my hands and finally used a bath oil before stepping out.

A while later I stood wearing a simple long bell sleeve dress reaching mid-calves in a simple dark yellow tone.

Though my nature is naturally cold, my favoured colour will always be a yellow tone varying in gold, canary, flaxen, medallion, bumblebee… if it is yellow I will personally wear it.

Halfway down the wide staircase, I found myself looking at a few familiar faces.

My eyes were calm, my face the usual cold, each step I took was sure without any hesitation, even my heartbeat steadily only my siblings through my bond felt the ripple and the parents who sat there together on one side while the siblings sat on the other, the sister and her husband and the eldest brother with his soon to be wife.

No others were present.

"The youngest greets the parents, siblings and their other halves respectively."

I dipped my head to show the appropriate respect to my elders.

The eldest Di'amond is fifteen years my senior, he will be married in a few months to the second-born daughter from the Kugel family, this will be the second time I will see this woman who my brother found worthy to marry.

She was of course a beauty, with long dark flowing hair now styled in a simple middle part with her hair secured in a low ponytail. Her face was made up lightly, her attire simple but sophisticated.

Though her features would be called East Asian she seemed to have that similar to Japanese descent, unlike my family's Chinese. I felt curious by this because the first fiancee had been Chinese but this one… either way it is the eldest desire, my parents did not object, or eldest brother so.

The eldest sister's husband was Chinese, he was handsome with a decent background, this one I had seen several times and it showed my eldest sister saw him as a somewhat equal.

This male deserved respect--for now.

The others were respectively second brother, Díó is fourteen years older than myself.

The twins thirteen years older were the exact replica of each other they had the similarly shaped eyes as mother but they resembled fathers even more so especially with their blue gazes, and slightly lighter colour hair, Dan and Dante, their personalities though were exactly like mothers.

Who sat there silently her gaze light but deep, fathers may keep her hidden away from prying eyes making many think that she is weak and defenceless but I knew very well that mother was powerful and could hold her own easily.

The last two were fifth and sixth brother Dy'lan and Di'ri respectively ten and nine years older than myself had the looks that leaned on a more feminine side, but that was only in looks as a twenty-four and twenty-three-year-old males in body nothing was feminine about them besides their face and waist-length hair usually secured in a 'man bun' with the usual sides and back shaved.

Personally, if they were not my brothers I would openly worship their flawless looks.

Sadly they were, so I can only secretly appreciate the handsomeness of my six brothers and hope that the woman they eventually marry is worthy of them.

"littlest, how was your day at school?"

Mother had a musical voice each time I heard her I could not help but be comforted, I wish to go into her arms and be embraced but both fathers watched me with a warning gaze.

I would be foolish to try.

"Mother, littlest had a good day, thank you for your concern,"

"Have your sister informed you as well?"

"En, she did."

I walked and took a random seat which was I between the twins, my back was straight, feet crossed from the ankles and my hand resting in my lap.

There was a tug on the bond and then a small voice which spoke.

'Littlest, do not fret over this, our parents will not force you,'

'En, I understand,'

I replied, of course, I understood my parents. They wanted what was best for their children.

As a daughter to the Jäh family, even though I am different I still have worth, spoiled by each of my siblings, with parents who silently supported me in every way.

Who would not want me?

Only those concerned by my strange appearance but even then they would not complain where they could be heard… either way, whatever my parents decide I will abide.

I was blessed to have love in the last life, surrounded by males who doted on me unconditionally.

Children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and those after.

I will not be selfishly seeking the same treatment, after all in this life from birth I have been pampered, unlike back then.

"We will not force you but please be aware that you must not be biased. You have time still but we only wish you to be happy," first father spoke after a while, his voice Stern, through our bond I felt his light caress and that of mother and second father, I allowed it struggling not to release a low hum.

"This daughter understands."

"En,"

Second father said, his gaze travelling over my form a moment before returning to mother.

Mother stood, freeing herself from the twin males to stand approaching me, I kept calm staying seated without moving. If I moved fathers might see me as a threat, regardless of me being female, if I stayed… sigh.

This is bothersome, truly bothersome.

It is best to keep my emotions sealed and wait, whatever I do might be an insult to my parents but waiting is safer.

"Littlest, come to mother, we have not spoken privately for a while allow mother to groom you."

I stood, slowly but not overly so, standing fully, I took a few steps to mother before she grasped my hand and tugged me closer leaving the room with me in tow.
