Family Meeting

Three days later my sisters finally arrived home. I was in my room it was quite late we still hadn't eaten yet 20:12/8:12 PM. When I looked out the window I saw two carriages riding beside each other, they were neither small nor big but just the right size for 2-4 people

On the side of each carriage was our family crest which is: Two wolves on each side holding a shield in the middle with a tree that is extremely old, with a scepter in the middle of the tree. The tree is almost dead, from old age, to signify that our family is extremely old but was once flourishing but now is just an old and almost dead house.

4 of our 5 House Guards were surrounding my sisters to protect them from any harm. They were in a special formation made for protecting medium-sized carriages.

The house guards are a sort of king's guards/imperial guards but for noble houses only.

You could either hire house guards from other houses or train some from your domain. The house guards of house Longflower were quite powerful since they had been trained by Micheals father personally.

When I saw the two carriages, I rushed downstairs running by maids and guards doing their job. When I arrived downstairs I started walking towards the doors, I then opened the doors and outside the two carriages had stopped and a beautiful young girl walked out of each carriage.

"Brother!" Michelle said as she started running towards me, she had a slim training outfit, that was black with some pink outlining.

*"Sister! How are you?"*(Micheal)

"I am very well brother." She ran straight into my arms giving me a big hug, meanwhile, Emily was slowly walking towards me with the same outfit as Michelle.

"Hello Brother, how are you?"(Emily) Said as she stopped right before me.

*"I am good sister,"* I responded and pulled her into a big hug, it reminded me of when we were little, we always used to hug each other when one of us was sad.

"Brother... We are in public..." She objected but never pulled away, as it also made her feel happy.

*"Don't worry about it, it's only the guards and maids."* A few minutes later I pulled away and pulled them inside.

*"Servant! Call my mother to the dining room we will all dine together as a family."*

"Right away m'lord." He rushed to my mother's quarters and told her to get ready for dinner.

I and my sisters are standing behind each of our chairs, I am standing behind the chair at the end of the table, where the lord normally eats.

"Brother move to your chair, if father sees you standing behind his chair he will be mad," Emily said and looked straight into my eyes.

*"Don't worry about it, Emily."*

July finally arrived.

"Please sit down kids, you didn't need to wait" July(Mother Of MC) sat down without saying anything to Micheal.

"Mother... Shouldn't you say anything?" Emily asked.

"Say what?" Answered July looking genuinely confused.

Emily looked at me with her eyes.

"I guess it's time," I said and waved at a servant. The servant approached me with a letter in hand.

*"Thank you, now leave this room... All of you, no one is allowed inside, before I say so."*

The servant quickly walked off

"What is this brother?" Michelle looked at the letter.

*"I will tell you now... Everyone I have something to say, I have already spoken to mother about it, but I feel like you two should know it too."* I took the letter in my hand and started reading out loud

The first 5 minutes after giving the letter, there was only the sound of breathing in the dining hall, then you could hear the sound of sobbing coming from Emily and Michelle.

I just continued eating dinner knowing that they have to go through this their own way, just like I did. After a couple of minutes, their sobbing stopped, they both looked at me in a serious way and i now knew they were ready for what was going to happen in the future.
