'As a princess, you have to conduct your attitude well. One wrong move and it can trigger war.'

Or so her tutor use to tell her.

'Behave.'

'Endure.'

Endure?

Monet look up and see the haughty smile in Aya's face.

"Who?" Her eyes is lace un anger but she still ask.

A smirk spread in Aya's lips.

"She is Aunt Aya. Daddy's cousin. Mommy, are you alright?"

Monet look at Isaac. He is holding back his tears.

'A relative....huh? Aya? Aya?....Where did I hear....Oh I see. That Aya who want Incest relationship with my husband.'

A smile spread across Monet's lips.

She raised her chin up and gloat at this idiot's face.

Aya raised a brow.

"How dare you hurt my nep---"

Slap.

"How dare--"

Slap.

"You!"

Slap.

I am no longer a princess.

My actions won't cause war.

But I wanted war sometimes.

From the corner of her eyes she saw a security guard slowly walking to them. No. He is only talking to the radio and running to them.

"Call police! This woman tried to snatch my bag!"

Monet shouted.

The guard is taken aback.

"Your what?" Angrily Aya wanted to push Monet but she trip her and Aya fell.

"You....." Aya looks up but cower.

Monet eyes is as cold as a knife. Her intense glare makes her blood turn cold.

But she won't accept defeat so easily.

"What are you waiting for?" Monet look at the guard who hurriedly call for a back up.

"How dare you!"

Monet lower her head.

"What? You want me to say something more shameful? Like, you are a dirty woman who wants to have intercourse with her own cousin? Go ahead. I can change my mind saying you are not a bag theif but a disgusting bitch."

Aya's eyes widen.

Those scary eyes will surely haunt her.

The police takes Aya.

Aya is very cooperative but her eyes wanted to drill holes in Monet's body.

On the other hand, Monet was given a seat and was handed an ice pack.

Treating her swollen cheek.

Isaac is just on the side worrying for Monet.

"Did you call your Dad?"

"Yes. He will be here soon."

"Good."

"Mommy, isn't that...violence?"

Monet glance at Isaac and Isaac look down but thinking he is right he looks up and determined to look straight at Monet.

Monet chuckles and rub his head.

"Dear,you think that is violence?"

Suddenly Isaac is nkt sure anymore.

"Am I wrong?"

"What did I do?" Monwt ask with a sweet smile.

The sharp cold glare is no more to be found.

"You slap her three times."

"True. That is my offense. I slap her three times. That is all. But what did she do?"

"She slap you one time and insulted you." Isaac looks sad and he grabs Monet hand tightly.

Monet smiles.

"Because I slap her two more times. You think It is violent?"

"But....Yes."

"First. I don't know her. For what ever reason, she confront me and slap my face without warning. Second, she called me bitch in public place shaming me. Third, she is ugly."

Isaac eyes widen.

"That is..."

"Sorry. What I mean Ugly is her personality. She is a very disgusting type of person. Though she is my husband's cousin, I would not let anyone lay their hand against my beautiful face. I already called my mother and a lawyer is prepared to file a case against her violence. In short, This is retaliation. I only defend myself. Isn't it not violent?"

Isaac is confuse.

He sit down and think.

"True. Because Aunt Aya is not related to you, you have the right to defend yourself against her violence. I see. But why did you tell the guard to capture her for trying to steal your bag?"

"So the police have a reason to catch her. You think I will let her go just like that?"

"....I understand."

Monet rubs Isaac's head.

"I'm sorry. Women are strange creature. I don't want to confuse me so early."

Isaac shakes his head.

"Once again, I just stand there are let my mother be hurt. I am so incompetent right now. But I will grow up and be able to stop anyone who tried to slap you or injure you again. Wait for it." Isaac said grabbing her hand.

Monet smiles.

And then she sigh.

This is the first time she retaliate in public.

Her hand is tingling.

"Monet!"

"Hubby."

Monet hurriedly stand up and hug Ian.

Ian is startled but hug her tighter.

Isaac follow and hug Ian.

Ian rubs his head.

Monet doesn't know why but she become emotional when Ian arrives.

But she is not weak as to cry in front of many people.

"Sir, come to the police office to file a complain against Ms. Armando."

Ian frowns and nod his head.

"Understand."

He is not clear what happened but Isaac's summary is enough.

He did told her not to messed with his wife and just a few hours pass and she have done it.

Ian is very easy to talk to and a forgiving guy. But Monet is not just anyone.

He is his partner. He haven't given her enough credit and his family is already causing trouble.

"I called Mom. Our family lawyer will file a complain."

Ian is the one driving.

Beside him is Monet.

Isaac is in the backseat.

Monet's car will be driven by the driver who came with Ian.

Ian reach out and rub Monet's head.

"Next time, call our family lawyer. I don't want Mom and Dad thinks I can't protect my own wife."

Monet face flushed and then she smiles more sincerely.

"Okay."

Ian rubs her cheek.

"Aya is too much." He said.

"Hmmm... I know she is your relative but you better make sure she won't step one meter near me or she will be bitch slap in a heart beat whenever I saw her." Monet pouts.

Ian blinks.

And then he laughs.

Isaac who is dying from tension breath out in relief.

"I also will not talk to her from now on." He said determined.

"Isaac, you are still his nep--"

"Oh. My son is filial."

Monet smiles and rub his head.

"Remember who your Mom's enemy. Okay?"

"Yes."

Ian sigh.

"That's awful,you know."
