The green grass covered the garden like a green carpet, and the flower plants planted at the border made it look even more beautiful. There were also trees with beautiful pink leaves and blue flowers. At the center was a hall-type structure with a ceiling at the top made up of vines and four pillars supporting it.
A black-haired, middle-aged man could be seen drinking some hot coffee while reading some documents; He was busy enjoying his coffee when he heard the footsteps. He was able to guess who it was but acted as if he was busy. A black-haired girl approached him and said, "Dad, you called me?"
He ignored her and looked at the gorgeous woman following her, saying, "Why did you go to call her by yourself, Honey? You could have asked anyone. You are already tired because of the work; come sit here and enjoy coffee with me."
The blue-haired woman sat near him and started drinking her coffee with a smile. They started chatting, forgetting the black-haired girl looking at them in anger.
"If you have nothing important, then I am leaving." She turned and was about to leave when she heard, "Sit, I have to discuss something with you."
She bit her lips, pulled a chair, and sat down, looking at the bearded man looking at her with his green eyes. He asked, "How is your training going on?"
"I have already reached Elite Stage Level 4," replied the girl without a hint of pride.
"As expected of my daughter, you are as talented as me. What about your alchemy progress?" asked the man as he looked at her.
"I am already a Two-Star Alchemist; I have already thought of my research topic to become a Three-Star Alchemist," replied the girl with a bored expression; She thought he would ask about something important.
"You are doing pretty well in alchemy too. From childhood, you were very talented and hardworking. I fulfilled all your wishes; Tell me, has there ever been a time when I didn't do as you asked?" asked the man as he looked at the girl.
ƥαṇdαηθνε| The girl remained quiet. She wanted to refuse, but her lips were sealed, as no matter what she thought, she couldn't refuse his words. The woman chose to speak this time: "Honey, remember when she started learning alchemy? She blasted a whole lab, and they asked you if you could have her own private alchemy lab. At that time, everyone opposed you and said you were spoiling her."
The man laughed, saying, "At that time, my daughter was very cute and obedient. I wish she remained like that, but who would have thought that after growing up she would start rebelling? As she is growing, she is getting distant from me." he sighed with a sad expression.
The girl was annoyed. "Stop it; tell me for once that I have done something that brings shame to your name. I have always tried to keep the honor of my clan first; The only thing I don't agree with you on is my marriage; how can you promise to marry me to someone I don't know?"
"You can always know him later; who is stopping you? Your mother and I also had an Arrange Marriage—aren't we living together happily? Tell her, Pallavi, aren't you happy?" The man said this as he looked at his gorgeous wife.
"I thank God every day to have you as my husband; there has never been a time when I felt like I was being mistreated by him. To be fair, I am many times happier than I was in my clan; he is so loving and caring," said the woman as she looked at her husband with her enchanting eyes.
"You guys were lucky that you get along with each other well, but that doesn't mean everyone will be the same. The point is, I don't even want to marry; I have different goals in life." Kajal replied as she pleaded to her parents.
"Who is asking you to marry right now, Kajal? I am asking you to be prepared for marriage. You can at least meet your fiance once and try to know him; we will decide about the marriage date later when you grow up, but no, you are not ready to listen at all. At least learn something from your mother; she will teach you how to be a good wife," said the man.
"Yes, Kajal, your father is right; I will train you to become a perfect wife. As the bride of a clan like ours, you need to learn elegance, courtesy, and finance. You will be respected by all if you learn all this. If you want to do better, I can even teach you how to cook," said her mother.
"I know how to cook; I don't need to learn anything," said Kajal in confidence.
The blue-haired woman facepalmed. "My princess, making instant noodles is not considered cooking. Or will you prepare boiled potatoes for your husband daily?"
"Why do I need to learn that, Mom? We have maids for that," replied the girl.
Her mother looked at her husband with a puzzling look before facing her and replying, "Sweety, it is a common saying that the way to the heart of a man goes from his stomach; how will you be able to have a healthy relationship if you don't even know how to cook?"
The father nodded as he looked at his wife and showed her a thumbs up. She was really such a good wife that he sometimes couldn't believe he was so lucky. His life changed when he met her; she helped him in every possible way. They say that behind every successful man is the hand of a woman; it was true for him.
"Don't change the topic, Mom. I know you are very good at manipulating people; Your tricks won't work on me. I have got your trait in inheritance; I don't want to marry, and I will not change that decision. If you force me even after that, then I will do something that will cause chaos in the clan, and you both will be responsible for that," she said before standing up and leaving.
"Kajal, how can you talk to your mother like that? Apologize, or I will... I will cut all funds given to you," said the man as he held his wife's shoulder.
"Am I really that bad, honey?" said the woman as tears started to appear in her eyes.
Kajal stopped in her tracks and looked back at her crying mother and angry father. She didn't want to back down, but she knew her dad was enraged right now and he would not go back on his words, and she and her guild would suffer due to her actions.
She looked at her mother and said, "Sorry, Mom, I didn't want to hurt you." She saw a mocking grin on her mother's face for a moment that disappeared in the next sentence.
"Is this how you apologize to Kajal? At least show some sincerity," said her father.
"Don't shout at her like that, honey; I am a mother after all, I have a big heart, and I will forgive her again." She said it in a sad tone. Her husband hugged her and said, "Don't worry, dear, I will not let even a dent appear on your honor till I am alive."
