Family and Goddess 2.172

Viggo and Tatsumi chatted for an hour, but in the end Tatsumi only said that he would think about it. A very weak attitude in front of Viggo, but the latter did not want to give his brother more problems.

They both walked out of the room and walked down the hall. Tatsumi seemed sorry for not making a determination as Viggo walked and looked down the hall. Then he saw Esther turn the corner and move in her direction while Flora accompanied her.

Flora wore a beautiful one-piece dress in the shape of a cream-colored orchid. She only retained her long golden braid that went down the side of her neck, passed through her neck and rested between her breasts.

Viggo and Tatsumi stopped one meter from Esther and Flora. The latter looked at Tatsumi suspiciously, as if he had revealed something he shouldn't.

-Viggo, I brought Miss Flora- said the old lady -she wanted to talk to you, but since we found you on the way, helps me a lot-

-Yes, sorry for the inconvenience, Esther-

-Don't worry, it's my job-

The old lady bowed, turned around and went back where she came.

-Tatsu- said Flora with a frown -What were you doing with Viggo?-

-What about?- asked Viggo, stepping forward and standing between Flora and Tatsumi, both a head lower than Viggo. Flora looked up and frowned as she looked at Viggo's eyes.

-What, what?- asked Flora.

-What shouldn't Tatsumi be doing?- asked Viggo -he's my brother, he can come whenever he wants and talk about his stuff with me-

-No, but my things-

-Stop being self-centered, Flora, it's not all about you-

They both stared at their faces while Tatsumi looked at them a meter behind Viggo. In the end, Flora looked away and let out a snort.

Viggo turned his face, looked Tatsumi in the eye with disapproval at his weak attitude, and said -Tatsumi, think about it, decide that you don't regret afterwards. It is your life; you must live it as well as possible. Now leave us, Flora and I must talk-

-I get it, nii-sama- Tatsumi said with his head down, bowed slightly to Viggo and Flora, and walked past both, as if fleeing from something.

Viggo stared at Tatsumi, shook his head, and then looked at his sister. She was beautiful, with golden hair and elaborate braid just like her mother. Big eyes, nice figure. The princess of the Dragonroad. Viggo and his father always pampered her in everything she wanted. It seems that this had spoiled his brain.

-Come, you came to talk, didn't you?- asked Viggo, turning around and walking back to the same room where he talking to Tatsumi.

-Hey, you're not cute at all- Flora said, reached for him and took his arm -you must escort me-

-Yes, of course, whatever you say-

-What's wrong? Now that Uriel was born, you don't look at anyone else with affection-

-No, I just think we've spoiled you too much, what was that arrogant attitude with Tatsu? Is it your brother Since when he became your lackey?-

-It's not my lackey, I'm just afraid he has spoken my stuff-

Viggo investigated the hallway with the windows on his left and the walls on the right. They passed by the door of the library, where Rosewisse should be. Viggo frowned upon hearing his sister.

-Why should Tatsu talk about your stuff? Are you doing something wrong?- asked Viggo.

-No, but he is…-

-Is it what?-

-Nothing-

-I understand that Tatsumi has always been dependent, but just because he trusts you doesn't mean you treat him like your lackey. Dad and I have spoiled you by consenting to everything, but you also hurt Tatsumi by making him completely dependent on you-

-Me...- said Flora, looking at the ground and frowning.

-What about me? Tell me is it a lie?-

Flora remained silent without assuring or denying anything. She didn't know why her brother was being so strict with her today.

Viggo and Flora stopped in front of the door of the meeting room. Viggo opened the door, let Flora in, and then he came in. They both walked to the individual armchairs and the coffee table in between the two.

Viggo looked at Flora who grimaced as if someone had offended her. Viggo ignored his attitude and asked him -What are you coming to? What is your brother for?-

-You say it as if all the time I look for you when I need your help- Flora replied in an annoying state.

-You said it, not me-

-You are...-

-Your older brother, Viggo, the troublemaker, but also the person who knows you best. I don't like these games of yours Flora. Get to the point, you need-

-For our birthday I plan to tell Dad that I am going to marry Achilles-

-Well, I think it's excellent, why didn't you tell anyone that you were in a relationship with Achilles?-

-It's not that simple- replied Flora.

-In what way?- asked Viggo.

-Achilles, he is Dad's disciple, he is many years old. It's not that simple-

-You're just afraid- replied Viggo in complete calm -Dad knows Achilles very well, all his life. He knows things about him that you and few other people know about him Why would Dad object to the two being together?-

Viggo stared at Flora, with golden hair and neat in a long braid. His blue eyes looked at the coffee table, as if he couldn't tell what was wrong with him.

-You wouldn't understand- Flora said at the end.

Viggo took a deep breath and said -I can't say if you're right or not, but you tell me your reasons. Since you want to keep things that way, tell me how I can help you?-

Flora finally looked up and replied -no matter what, you must be on my side-

-This is ridiculous- replied Viggo, standing up and raising his hands in the air -you have been allowed everything, Dad has pampered you in everything. Even if he made a special gift for Tatsu, you begged him and made you katanas just like Tatsu's, how can you think that he will hurt you? That someone mistreated you in the family? You'd better not talk to anyone, not dad, your mom, or my aunts. Otherwise, everyone will feel hurt-

-Viggo, you are my brother, I hope you will at least support me in this-

Viggo under his hands and let out a sigh -I support you, but the truth is I don't know why you get so defensive- Viggo stared at Flora for a moment and opened his mouth in a gesture of disbelief -You?-

-Shut up, shut up, idiot Viggo- Flora said, scared that he would get what she feared.

However, out of Flora's nervousness, Viggo put his hands to his face and began to laugh. Flora let out a sigh, taking this as a sign that he had accepted it quickly and naturally.

Viggo stopped laughing, looked at Flora gently and stretched out his arms -come here- said with a strict tone of voice.

Flora got up from her armchair and walked to where Viggo was. The latter wrapped her in his arms and hugged her gently.

-Actually, I always thought that Flora was the most mature of the three- Viggo murmured in a hoarse voice -also the most cunning-

-I, that's no way to say it- replied Flora, hugging Viggo and sinking his face into his chest -silly Viggo, always giving trouble, always believing himself the strongest and the best-

-Yes, I think we're both equally dumb-

Viggo continued to hug Flora for a while until they separated. Viggo extended his right hand to Flora and pointed to the armchair. Flora sat down and Viggo did the same. They both stared at the face for some time.

-Should I start buying more sweets?- asked Viggo.

-What does that come to?- asked Flora.

-You see, Semiramis has been given to eat sweets or chocolates after any meal. It's like a necessity. Dad said it was natural, it happened to all women-

-Me- Flora said with blushing cheeks -I don't know that kind of thing-

-Well, I think spending some time with Semiramis will do you good. She will be able to tell you many things-

-Yes, I also want to see Uri-

-¿Uri?-

-Uri, by Uriel. As Tatsu's Tatsumi-

Viggo shook his head in a serious expression and said -Tatsumi is no longer a child. I don't know if you really did it on purpose or not, but it's best to leave it alone and make your own decisions-

-In this regard- Flora said between worried and embarrassed -at first, I did it because I worried about Tatsumi. When we were children, he was weak in personality and when you left, he wanted to venture on his own into the dungeon, but some guys approached him and when they saw the good things that Dad and Aunt Hephaestus gave him, they wanted to kill him. Of course, Tatsumi beat them all, but I end up hurt. However, the important thing is that he did not trust anyone else again-

-That was five years ago- Viggo said -things are different, he needs to change and experiment. Although it hurts us that he gets hurt, that will make him strong-

-Yes, I know, but when I see him so indecisive, I can only worry-

Viggo grimaced uncomfortably and looked into her eyes -I'm going to support you and you're going to support Tatsumi-

-In what?-

-I am eighty percent sure that he will leave Orario-

-What?!- shout Flora -but you know...they're going to eat it alive-

-That's something everyone should go through. Not all of us were born as cunning as you- Viggo replied with a kind smile -if you told me that you were going to travel, I would be calm. A girl like you would become contacts, a reliable group and become the leader...-

-But Tatsu is different-

-Yes- Viggo added -it has been under your care and that of others for too long. You need to learn to trust your own abilities. Believe me, traveling alone is the best way to mature. It makes you appreciate all the things you had before-

-Did the same thing happen to you too?- asked Flora.

-Yes, I also pass. If I'm honest, I don't even remember why I was so angry with Dad, Ottar and the world. I just feel like it was a confusing time and that my mind was a mess. Now he asked me why I was so bad with Dad; he just wanted us to get along. He did everything so that we would be together, but I rejected him-

-Viggo doesn't must be so himself- replied Flora -we all make mistakes or feel confused. We want to live better lives and we are heading in directions that look promising. However, if you think about it, it's more complicated than it seems-

-Thank you, Flora- said Viggo -even though you were annoying, you were always a good sister-

Flora snort when she heard Viggo praise her in a bad way and responded with a frown -look who speaks, the great warrior who started crying only because he could not beat his brother in a fight with sticks-

-Well, it is said by the girl who to this day holds a grudge against her brother for not saying that she was the most beautiful in the world-

-It's not my fault- replied Flora -Ottar was dumb and now he's become dumber. Now he doesn't even say hello as he should and if he goes to the house, he only meets with Dad-

-Ottar was a bit withdrawn, it must be difficult for him to deal with you-

-Am I the bad one?-

-No, it's just that you're not nice to him at all even though he's your brother-

-I...-

-Enough, let's stop talking about guilt and problematic people. I don't think you or I are any better. In the end, we are the most troublesome in the family-

Flora snort, showed a small smile and responded in a burlesque way -speak for you-
