Chapter 2: Dinner

Evan opened a large door, leading to a large banquet hall. Lime followed closely behind him.

“My precious angels, how are you?!” A voice asked

“Hi mom!!” The twins said

“You’re late. You three lack manners.” Said a man, with a stern face

“Sorry, father.” Evan said

Lime hid behind Evan

“Dear. It’s only the four of us here, what does it matter? We’re family.” Mom said

“I still don’t approve of how you are deciding to raise them. It’s an embarrassment to the entire family. I’ll let it go for now, considering that they are young, but it’s not appropriate.” Father said

“Stop being an old grouch. What do you expect from them?” Mom asked

“I expect them to not tarnish the family’s name. While Evan is strong, they are only one year old. Of course I’m not expecting anything more from them right now. I must say, they are quite smart for their age though. Better than that muscle head Flaine.” Father said

“I’m pretty sure that was your fault, dummy. You made him train instead of study.” Mom said

“True. Which is why I conceded the twins upbringing to you. So far, everything seems fine, though. You are doing a good job. While he may not have a strong body, Evans' magic is immense, and his studies are anything but lacking. lime on the other hand… even if I ignore the feelings they have, I can’t imagine any scenario in which she can survive in the future without her brother. He’s the only vampire that can use healing magic, after all. Lime is too fragile.” Father said

“Yes. She has had less attacks the past month, thankfully. I still don’t know what to do.” Mom said, concerned

“At this point, it’s not possible to marry either of them off to their engagement partners.” Father said, sighing

“We don’t want to get married to them.” Evan said

“That’s the last thing we want.” Lime said

“You two…. whatever. You two are young. You will understand it as you mature. The main family has chosen not to pursue it for the moment, thankfully. Probably because of Your magic.” Father said

“Yeah, I can just destroy them.” Evan said

“I will not allow my child to become a treasonous criminal. I know you don’t understand anything yet, but…you two are siblings, it’s not acceptable. we can talk about this again when you are older.” Father said, giving up on separating them.

“Yes, father.” Evan said, smiling

“Ugh. I’m immune to your petty charms, child. Let’s just eat.” Father said, the side of his lips twitching into an obviously suppressed smile.

“Yes, eat, then it’s time for bed.” Mom said

“Yes mom.” Evan said

“Yes mom!” Lime said

They ate, and the day ended.
