Spring festival
The next day Camy and Ceci both woke up with bags under their eyes. They two were looking like clowns. They didn't wake up until the sun came high above the sky. Mrs Taylor had to personally go and wake them up. Camy and Ceci didn't mind their lousy demeanor nor they thought of freshening up as they just came downstairs in their nightgowns for breakfast.
Seeing them like this made Brian laugh very hard and he even managed to tease them. "huh! I didn't know we had pandas as a pet. They even wear nightgowns and roam around the house like it's a zoo."
It infuriated Mrs Taylor beyond words and gave them a glare and pushed them back towards their room.
"You better go up and only come down when you have freshened up. Otherwise, you both can have a fast the whole day" Mrs Taylor reprimanded both of her daughters.
"They probably are half-sleeping. Look how funny their faces are looking" Brian said with a smile.
With that, both went back and only came afterward they had fixed their appearance and were looking like noble girls.
"How can they both come downstairs in their nightgown? They both are asking for a good beating" Mrs Taylor mumbled.
On the other hand, Brian kept a smile on his face.
At this time his family felt complete with a beautiful wife and two lovely daughters. He sighed and thought if only his son was also present here then it would be really a complete family.
After some time Camy and Ceci came down with displeasure written all over their faces.
"Mom I want to sleep", Camy yawned.
"Me too", Ceci piped in.
"You both better eat your breakfast quietly and listen to us. Your father and I have something important to tell you."
"Oh! We are all ears. Tell us" Ceci said smilingly and with that Camy too nodded her head in acknowledgment.
"First eat your breakfast". The family of four finished their breakfast in no time and now all were sitting inside the living room.
"Camy, Ceci the annual spring festival is coming, I presume both of you know about it."
"Yes, we know father, '' Camy said."
" Don't you wish to attend it?" This time it was Mrs Taylor who spoke.
"We would love to attend this, but don't you both know that we need a man to escort us to the party for joining the annual spring festival," Ceci said with obvious displeasure.
"We both thought that we would ask big brother Rune to accompany us but sigh, he is on his mission and you can't take mother with you, so we have got no chance to go there", Camy said with sadness too.
After all, it was not a simple occasion but a grand event. It was the main event of their empire and held annually every year. It was a grand festival with the only rule that only couples or girls from noble families could attend the event. The noble girls can only attend either with their fathers or their brothers.
