Birthday

---5 years time skip---

Today Weiss was celebrating her first zero birthday with her now being ten years old both Winter and mother come to celebrate youngest child's birthday...

That was at least in the plan as we needed to wait for father, who was coming late...

Again...

I never really cared about him, but he was still our father and husband of Willow, as such it would be expected he would celebrate with us as he was present on both Aegis and Winters ten years celebration...

Even if he was just brooding and not really care about any celebration as long as it wasn't his or SDC public event...

Aegis just watched as Weiss's happy mood was slowly morphing into that of sadness, and he couldnt help but come to her.

"Big brother?"

Weiss looked at him questioningly with her teary eyes...

"Come there, little snowflake."

Aegis said as he pulled Weiss into his embrace and wrapped his arms around her little body, ignoring her sobbing and wetness on his chest...

Willow, who looked at such a scene, felt something broken in her chest and her hand holding a wine glass almost shattered from her firm grip.

Winter? Winter was clenching her fist and looked close to erupting. Her beautiful seventeen years old face was frowning, and her pristine white teeth were giving grinding sounds...

Klein, the always helpful and loyal butler, looked at them in sadness as his eyes were flickering between yellow and red...

Truly what sad sight they made, and others say that money brings happiness...

Is this how it will go?... no...

Aegis wasn't willing to let it go like this... No, He will make it better, but how?

As Aegis was planning and consoling his little sister, he was able to hear someone walk in the hallway to this room, and from his experience, he knew it was their father...

Just his pace was not that of a hurry, but one of his anger issues...

And like if fate itself taunting him, the hall doors were opened with enough force to slam into walls and in middle of doors was standing funning father...

Everyone looked at his mood. Differently, Winter was confused and angry, Willow was hesitating, and there was little fear in her beautiful blue orbs, Klein looked at that with a guarded expression, and Weiss was clinging to Aegis's body, scared of theirs. Fathers angry face...

Aegis? He was looking at him with apathy, but there was little guarded expression as his hands protectively held Weiss, and his eyes became a little bit colder...

"You! How dare you celebrate there when one of our most important deals fallen from our hands?!"

He hissed in an angry tone.

"Deal?! JACQUES, did you forget that today our daughter celebrate her tens years?!"

Willow's eyes, which before showed fear turned angry at their father as her hand shattered her wine glass with a loud sound.

"As if we didn't celebrate enough birthdays! every time you make me practice on such meaningless activities that aren't even for the public, we lose money in spades!"

He shouted with veins bulging on his forehead.

"MONEY MONEY MONEY! It's always about money with you! Are you even our father?! You married our mother, not the money!"

Winter shouted with a furious expression as her hand points at him and mother as if speaking with an idiot...

"Not married money? hahahahaa thats most stupid thing you could tell, you stupid brat! Why do you think I married that woman in the first place?! THERE IS NOBODY BETTER THAN ME AT LEADING SDC!"

At that, Willows's angry expression turns into shock as her body starts to shake.

"W-wh-at?"

She Squeaks out, not believing her ears.

"You heard that right, you stupid woman! As if I wanted to marry drunk like you! Just look at yourself! At least in the start, you had a body. Now you look like a wreck!"

He shouts with an angry and funny tone.

"You you! you don't speak badly about mama!"

Weiss somehow was able to pace his side and come closer to father as her tiny hands tried to punch him.

"HM?! How dare you talk back to your father, you brat?!"

Father said as his hand slapped Weiss's tiny face sending her to the ground and freezing everyone at his action...

Weiss just lifted her head up and showed an open wound around her left eye as she stared at their father with a shocked and confused expression...

"That will teach you your place! I buy you think I LEAD THIS FAM-"

Jacques was saying but stopped when he was unable to continue...

"How dare you."

And the reason was evident as Jacques was lifted into the air by his throat with Aegis's left hand as his other hand was clenching and closing...

Now everyone's focus was on Aegis, and they could see how his athletic body was shaking in buried anger as his black hair hid his face from others but not from Jacques. He almost frankly pissed himself as he saw the eyes of his son, the once blue eyes that were always in apathy were now looking directly into his eyes without an ounce of emotion. It's like Aegis's eyes became two ice orbs. Themselves as they radiated nothing but coldness...

"You hit Weiss..."

Aegis said as his right-hand punch Jacques into the stomach, making him choke in the air.

"You made my big sister hate me."

Aegis said as he continued punching Jacques's stomach with enough force for it to bring him pain but not enough to let him faint.

"You Hurt Our Mother"

There Aegis releases his father and lets him fall to the ground, looking at him without any emotion as Jacques tries to crawl away and call for help but can't as he finds his mouth blocked with a little glyph.

"Did you really think that the money can always save you?"

Aegis said as he was slowly but surely making his way to Jacques, making him now truly piss himself as he can see the eyes of the monster that is his son...

Aegis lifts his feet and lets it fall with force onto Jacques's right hand, shattering it apart.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Jacques screams in pain as he sobs.

"Did you think that you can do anything without any consequences?"

Aegis said as he kneels by his father's side and whispers into his ear.

"Did you think I would let you hurt them any longer?"

Aegis whispers into his ear and starts to stand up.

"I will let you experience the hell."

Aegis said and started walking away from Jacques, who even among pain sighs in relief and immediately starts to plot his revenge...

Until he finds out that he starts to lose all of his power and his body falls on the ground...

But he isn't dead, no, he is alive, but just his eyes move as he starts to breathe in panic...

Aegis just smirks to himself in his mind as he makes his way to Weiss, who, even if she looked scared at him as she witnessed his action, still immediately hugged him, seeking even the smallest comfort...

"Shh shhh, it alright everything is and would be alright."

Aegis whispers to Weiss's ear, ignoring the looks his mother and Winter send him...

"Sir? Sir, should I call for a medic?"

Klein asks his father what could be seen as worry, but the ones who know him could hear that he revels in Jacques's pain...

But he doesn't get answers as Jacques's just continue to lay on the ground with only his eyes moving in panic...

And Aegis just smirks to himself as he knows what he has done...

After all, the best punishment for a man like his father who wants to have control over everything is to be forever a prisoner of his own body and without control of anything...

And glyphs are the best friend of true Schnee...
