Bonding Family Ch 4- Fidget
Livia laid asleep in bed, her side rising and falling. She rolled over onto her back, a small smile on her face.
"Princess, it's time to awaken."
Her eyes opened and she yawned as she sat up, stretching. She rubbed her eyes, ready for a new day with her family.
"Morning princess."
She froze knowing that voice, her head slowly turning to see Seraphia standing there. Livia flew out of bed, glaring up at the woman, ready to defend herself if she needed to.
"My my, for someone so adorable you are so very feisty! Makes me hate you so much more"Seraphia smiled looking mockingly down at her.
"Are you going to tell on me to your uncle, his majesty, the emperor?"
As much as she wanted to...she wasn't gonna snitch
She could handle the Senates back in the Valley of Thorns picking with her!
So she most definitely can handle this on her own, nobody looks down on her and get away with this!
"I'm no snitch, you can dig your own grave for all I could care"Livia snapped giving her a cold smile.
"DUCHESS SERAPHIA, HOW DARE YOU!!?"
Harlia moved in front of Livia, Wolfe snarling at the woman. "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO INVADE THE PRINCESSES ROOM, THE EMPEROR SHALL BE INFORMED!"Harlia snapped pointing away.
"A measly maid like you talking to a duchess that way"Seraphia mutters lifting her hand.
"AUNTIE VINAYAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!"
Everyone froze at Livias yell, the sound of running heels filled the hallway and a second later Vinaya rushed in, throwing the doors open.
Vinaya looked at Seraphina, her eyes widening. She stormed over and slapped the woman, a furious look on her face. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY NIECE!? WHY ARE YOU IN HER ROOM!?"Vinaya yells glaring down at the stunned woman.
Livia stuck her tongue out at Seraphia from behind Wolfe and Harlia, clinging to her maid and guard.
"GUARDS TAKE DUCHESS SERAPHIA AWAY AND MAKE SURE SHE'S UNABLE TO ENTER THE PALACE!"
Two guards came in and grabbed the woman, ignoring her protests as they dragged her out.
"Livy, sweetheart! Are you okay!?"Vinaya demands checking the girls face. "Yes Auntie, I'm fine"Livia smiled her aunt pressing a kiss to her cheek.
"How pathetic, calling my mom to your aid."
The boy with the dreads to the side stood there, cold blue eyes staring her down, his arms crossed over his chest.
"Fidget, be nice to her! She's your baby cousin!"Vinaya scolds gently pinching and pulling her son's cheek. Fidget huffed, looking embarrassed as his mother babied him.
"Livia! Meet your cousin Fidget! He's the youngest of all his brothers and the Crowned Prince!"Vinaya smiled looking over at Livia.
Fidget made a face causing her to perk up at the sight, wondering if like the others he had problems like Junpel.
"Oh Livy, sweetheart! Get dressed, breakfast should be ready soon!"Vinaya smiled ushering Fidget away.
"Hehe, okay Auntie!"Livia beamed waving to them.
She turned to Harlia and gave Wolfe a dismissal signal. The guard bowed to her and left the room, allowing Harlia to prepare Livia for the day.
~~~~~
Livia beamed running down the hallway ahead of Wolfe and Harlia to the stairs, her ponytail gently swaying behind her. She stopped at the stairs, getting ready to hop onto the railing. A pair of hands shoved her, a small gasp coming from bee. She turned around as she fell her eyes widening at the sight of Fidget standing there.
"PRINCESS!!"
Wolfe threw his arms around her, grabbed the rail and slid down, landing on his feet. He set her down, his scowling gaze turning to a startled Fidget. "YOUR MAJESTY!"Wolfe yells. He froze when a hand grabbed his sleeve, his gaze darting down to Livia who shook her head.
"Let it go, he's not worth our time"Livia orders looking at Fidget with a cold look.
She turned and walked away, Harlia fixing her ponytail as the trio made their way to the Dining Area. Guards opened the doors letting her through, revealing her uncle, aunt and eight of her cousins at the long table.
She stared then perked up when her aunt beckoned to an empty seat beside her.
"Morning!"Livia greets hurrying over and taking a seat. Fidget walked in, looking nervous as he made his way over and sat down between Junpel and Spencer.
"I heard that the Duchess found her way into your room."
Livia looked over, noticing her uncle's eyes were glowing with malicious and angry intent. "Auntie Vinaya took care of her! She was so amazing!!"Livia beamed, her auntie looking embarrassed.
Lilac took his wife's hand, giving her an amused grin looking fond of her. "I know, I married her"Lilac chuckles.
Maids entered the dining area, bringing in their breakfast. Livia smiled as the maid removed the top from her plate, revealing pancakes with sausages, an omelet on rice and biscuits.
Dessert was set down as well, which were root beer floats with chocolate scoops topped with a cherry.
She giggled, digging into her breakfast, her uncle smiling across the table as her cousins gossiped with one another.
"Livia wanna go take a boat ride?"Spencer grinned looking over at her.
She nodded excitedly, giving him a beaming smile, "YEAH!"
She coughed and covered her mouth, feeling weird for some reason. Her hand lowered, blood coating her thumb.
She stood up, signalling Harlia for a handkerchief to borrow. She hurried over to her personal maid then suddenly threw up blood. Arms caught her, Fidget holding her up.
"POISON!!"
Fidget quickly carried her to the next room, the running feet of everyone else following.
"LIVIA!!!"Vinaya cried her eyes wide. "Your majesty! Stay back, let Prince Fidget handle this!"A guard orders, Lilac rushing in.
"Drink and swallow!"Fidget commands holding a cup to Livias mouth.
She threw up more blood, Fidget trembling at the sight.
He pinched her nose and poured the liquid down her throat causing her to choke.
She sat up and threw up the poison, small seeds hitting the ground. "AH, HE DID IT!"Izek yells relieved rushing over. A maid held Vinaya back, Lilac standing not far from her his eyes turning dark red.
Fidget held Livia close, looking stunned and worried. "LIVIA!"Vinaya cried reaching towards her as she came close ignoring the maids attempt to stop her.
Livia fell unconscious, her family members crowding around her with expressions of anger, terror, concern and sadness.
Fidget stared down at her, his lips pursed together then bowed his head wondering why he saved her.
