Yvonne's eyes were focused on the folder that her tutor had placed on the table and she reached forward to pick it up. Just as her hand was about to touch the folder, it was snatched away by the man sitting opposite her. The little girl looked up and glared at the man who was behaving like he was the child here. Marquess Samed was amused yet curious with her urgency to know who the composer of the musical piece was. "Answer my questions and I will answer yours." He propositioned to which Yvonne…-

Yvonne's dreams were pleasant and nothing out of the ordinary appeared in them. Even the memories of her time spent with the entity in the 'future' were erased by Asmodeus which helped in her getting better sleep. When she woke up, the first thing she did was ask Mrs. Jacinth what her first class for the day was. "It is embroidery followed by dance class, then etiquette and the last would be history class, Miss." She answered after giving it a moment's thought. Yvonne grumbled as she sat before…

Now inside her room, Yvonne sat on her comfortable bed and was mulling over the challenge that she had accepted from her brother. 'He said that I can start training from the day after tomorrow.' She recalled while tapping her fingers on her knee. He had even given his reason for choosing the time that he would be away from the house for her preparation before the assessment that would take place in a month's time. 'I will not be here and hence will have no way to know what you are good or bad at.'…

The three St. Claires rejoiced when they heard her obedient words and wide smiles appeared on their faces but those smiles faded when they heard her next words. "I wish to learn those skills so that I might take care of myself if I found myself in dangerous situations where you weren't around." She expressed her point of view and this made them pause. What Yvonne had just mentioned had struck a chord with them. They certainly could not be with her at every moment of the day. "This is true."…

When Yvonne heard the options that her father, Rutherford had given her she felt like scoffing out loud. 'Poetry? Book-keeping? Baking!?' She found each choice to be more ridiculous than the previous one. Calming her over-stimulated mind, she shook her head at her father to show that she did not want to choose either of the options that he had given to her. "None of them, Father." She rejected him and noticed the frown that appeared on his face. 'She did not call me 'Papa' but went back to the…

When Yvonne reached the dining room for her supper, she found her father and her brother engaging in deep conversation. 'So he has come back from his trip to the commercial district.' She observed her brother's excited face as she walked towards her seat. Raylene gave her a brief nod before serving her the dinner which had been brought in just before Yvonne had arrived. 'What are they talking about?' Yvonne questioned herself as she intently gazed at the two men who were whispering among…

After her afternoon nap, Yvonne woke up refreshed and the first thing she did was to head to the room where she had the music class with Governess Lester on alternate days. She asked Mrs. Jacinth to take her usual afternoon break and then locked the door from the inside. 'Now let's see if I can play the same way I did this morning or if that was just my luck which was shining overwhelmingly to save me from that Vicious Grandma's rage.' She contemplated as her fingers clenched together to form a…

Rutherford and Raylene shared a glance when they heard their daughter's strange words once again. 'Where does she get such strange words from?' Raylene wondered in astonishment. At the same time, she was worried that her sweet child was reading some weird books and learning these bizarre things that they had never heard of before. 'I need to ask Marquess Samed about what kind of book he is recommending my Vonny!' She was determined in her heart and nodded at her husband who must have had the same…

Mrs. Jacinth helped her wash up for lunch before leading her towards the dining room. She was placed on the floor at the entrance of the room as from this point onwards she had to walk on her own. When she entered the room, she was greeted with a dark cloud that was looming over the entire room. 'What happened here? Did someone die?' She wondered as she walked closer to the table. She witnessed her father's gloomy face blossom when he saw her walking towards him which made a smile appear on her…

After Marquess Samed's repeated warnings about keeping her mouth shut in regards to the Governess Bloom - Grand Duke injury situation, he finally sighed in relief when he saw her obedient acceptance. 'Who would I even speak to? I stay indoors at all times!' Yvonne shook her head but she was not complaining about staying inside all the time. Her plan of staying indoors and away from any major characters in the story was going splendidly so far and she aspired to continue with this plan until the story…
