Malleus: *Looks at the ball below, wearing his royal attire*
Talon: Malleus, are you sure Lilia will show up to represent his family? Lady Diancia is sick and Thea..she's well...
Malleus: Who said Lilia was coming..?
Talon: I mean, Scone gave up his Duke title to spend the rest of his years at peace with his wife and remaining kids, wouldn't Lilia be-
Guard A: ENTERING DUCHESS VANROUGE!!!
Talon: Lady Thea-?! *Perks up, his eyes widening in shock*
Livia: *Steps in, her gaze serene and reserved*
Nobleman A: Lilias half blood daughter...
Nobleman H: *Stares at Livia* There's no way she's in charge...
Noblewoman D: At least she has the right mind to come dressed in lady like attire...
Livia: *Lifts her eyes, staring the crowd down*
Silver: *Holds his hand out* Livia...
Livia: *Takes his hand, leading him escort her*
Livia: *Stops in her tracks at the whispering*
Silver: *Bows his head, his eyes closed*
Livia: *Turns to the crowd, her gaze sharp* I AM THE MATRIARCHAL DUCHESS OF THE VANROUGE FAMILY!! IF THERE IS A PROBLEM THEN COME SPEAK SUCH WORDS TO MY FACE INSTEAD OF WHISPERING AWAY LIKE COWARDS!!
Livia: *Narrows her eyes* I lead my family with pride! I look out for the well being of my loved ones!
Livia: YOU WANNA KNOW WHY SIR LILIA VANROUGE ISN'T HERE?!
Livia: BECAUSE I RUN THE VANROUGE HOUSEHOLD!! I AM ITS REIGNING LEADER!!
Livia: I AM MATRIARCHAL DUCHESS LIVIA GARCIA ALYSSA VANROUGE!!!
Talon: *Stares in surprise* She's much stronger than before..
Malleus: Indeed..
Livia: *Narrows her eyes as nobles came forward, glaring at them in disgust at how quickly they switched up at her words*
Livia: *Turns away* Silver, we go..
Silver: *Nods, escorting her away through the crowd*
Livia: When we return call a sibling meeting...
Silver: Understood...

Kuro: *Stands with the others, looking worried*
Julian: *Crosses his arms, frowning*
Lily: Sissy Livy...
Casel: Whats going on sis..?
Livia: I need you all to start being more brave when you go out on chores or to visit friends, today I announced that I now run the household instead of Papa..that means there will be pushback and provocations from those outside this family..
Livia: I am not telling you all this to scare you, I'm telling you all so you can be prepared and keep your emotions in tact when this happens...
Cal and Alexis: *Stares at her worriedly*
Mai: *Nods*
Shadow and Golden: *Narrows their eyes, scowling*
Livia: If anything should occur, come to me and I shall handle it...
Livia: *Narrows her eyes* We are Vanrouge's, we shall not let this deter us or break us...

Lilia: *Laughs, smiling at everyone*
Cal: *Smiles, holding out his card* Happy Father's day, Papa...
Lilia: Thank you, Cal!
Hurtis: *Holds the cake, smiling*
Thea: *Pressed kisses to Lilias cheek* Happy Father's Day, honey..
Lilia: *Chuckles, smiling at her* I could get used to your attention
Thea: *Rolls her eyes, flicking her tail behind her*
Lilia: ...isn't there someone missing..?
Callisto: Who? We're all here..
Ralph: Agreed..who'd be missing...
Lilia: I-I don't...know....I just feel like someone is supposed to be here..
Lilia: A girl...around you boys age..but I don't think there's anyone in my memories like that
Silver: Huh...
Shadow: Old Man, your mind is getting janky
Lilia: *Chuckles* Perhaps! Let's just celebrate now!
Lilia: *Stares at them all, his smile fading slightly* .....it really feels like we're missing someone...someone I don't remember and somehow can't..

Livia: *Walks through the camp grounds, wearing her Camp Red Dragon Jacket*
Livia: Guys!! *Waves to her friends, smiling*
Ritzy: *Smiles slightly* Liv...hey..
Livia: *Holds her Father's Day gift for Lilia, being careful with the package*
Ranni: Are you sure you wanna send that to him...?
Livia: I erased their memories of me so they can be safe once I left for this camp....but I still wanna celebrate with them
Livia: Camp Red Dragon is my new home, the Land of the Red Dragon is my new homeland...
Livia: *Holds her gift out, watching the giant eagle take it away* But...I want to make sure I keep up with my family...even though they don't know me..
Pico: *Wraps an arm around her shoulders, pressing a kiss to her head* I'll celebrate with you, Lovely...we're family...
Ritzy: Speaking of family...we're throwing a party for Vice Director Alfred...
Ranni: Yeah, come on, we gotta go!
Nero: Quickly, we gotta finish our gifts!
Hayley: Yeah!!
Livia: *Laughs, running with her friends and boyfriend towards the Big House* Alright, alright!
Livia: *Stops for a moment, staring towards where her old home and family were* ....I love you guys..maybe in the next life...
Pico: Babe? *Holds his hand out to her* You okay...?
Livia: Yeah, I'm good! *Smiles, taking his hand and running off after the others*
Ranni: *Throws an arm around Livias neck, ruffling her hair*
Atlanta: *Smiles, walking with the Star Hunters through the camp*
Lilia: (Being a feared general during his time, a few still afraid of him even to this day)
Golden, Shadow, Kuro and Livia: (The kids born to humble the shit out of him, insulting him whenever they could, tossing things at him and downright disrespecting him at times)
Lilia: *Sighs* A man can oppose others...but he can never oppose his kids
