Immediately after dropping Ryan and Devon at the dormitory, Satoru was driving the car on their way home.

Naomi sat silently without speaking anything. She was still worried about Ryan's first impression in front of her father. Satoru was deep in thought about the next thing his daughter was going to face.

"Uhm," he coughed, "Your mother will be back before we arrive,"

Naomi's heart skipped a beat. She glanced at Satoru before leaning back in her seat.

"I knew it. Not only that, I know she will be ready with her.. lectures as always," Satoru continued driving, "I am honestly tired of this. I wanted you to drop me in the dormitory too,"

"You know that was impossible," Naomi nodded, "If your mother doesn't see you, she will make her way to the dormitory just to deliver one of those lectures."

"Why is she like that? Can't she be a normal mother for once?"

"She was. Remember, she was. She used to be.."

Naomi stayed silent. A few more minutes pass like that. The car finally came to a stop.

"Come on, I will get your bags, you go meet your mother," Satoru ordered getting out of the car. He went directly to the car's trunk.

Naomi took a breathe, she pushed open the car's door and stepped out of the car.

"It's been a long time since I saw this," in front of her was a big mansion.

A dark mansion with a huge entrance. Dark orange lights were turned on around the building. It stretched out as far as the human's eye could see.

"Let's go," Satoru came with his hands full of two bags. Naomi nodded before moving forward.

"I was waiting for you, Naomi," Her mother's sound came as soon as they interred the mansion.

There were a lot of guards, servants, maids around the mansion. From the stairs, a lady in her late thirties was climbing down the stairs one by one. The sound of her heels banging against the stairs was clearly audible.

"I hope your trip was safe," a woman with lilac eyes and elbow-length, straight dark hair finally climbed down the stairs.

She stood in front of Naomi with a cold expression on her face. Satoru put the bags down and bowed his head to the woman. She kept staring at Naomi with a cold expression.

"I am talking to you,"

"I can hear you, okaa-sama"

"Huh. didn't even enter the house and still see her rudeness,"

"Noami-chan, please?" Naomi could feel the tension forming in the atmosphere.

She sighed and bowed her head too. A smile of satisfaction spread over the woman's face.

"I have nothing more to say. You will be attending the Academy from tomorrow. And I need no excuses or pampered actions from you,"

'Actually. That's what the fuck I wanna do fucking right now. I don't even fucking wanna wait for tomorrow to come,' Naomi thought.

She thought she had gained control over her cursing in every sentence but when the anger took over, the curse words started flowing like water.

"You might have heard from Satoru already, if not, then I will tell you," they both raised their head.

Satoru knew what she was talking about. He tried stopping her from making that decision, he tried making her change this decision but.. it was all worthless.

"Satomi-san, can you please consider-" he stopped midway just from Satomi's one glare. He dropped his head down.

"What the fuck is it?" she asked her half-American mother in English.

"Mind your language when you are in front of me!" Satomi shouted bolts of electricity started flowing from her feet.

"Tch. This is absurd," Naomi turned her head. She was feeling scared, only one more second and Satomi could have used her Trait on her daughter.

"Your marriage with Watts's son has been fixed, you will be married to Allen Watts as soon as you graduate high school!" Naomi's eyes went wide.

She could not believe how her own mother could do that to her. Announced her marriage without even asking her once, I mean, Naomi doesn't even know how the hell this Allen Watts looks like!

"And you will be engaged to him before you graduate. I don't care if you like it or not, you will have to marry him."

Tears formed in Naomi's eyes, suddenly, out of the blue, Ryan flashed from her eyes. She clenched her fists.

"Fuck this. Fuck this," she threw her arms and ran away into the mansion.

"Naomi-chan-" Satoru ran behind her, "You are not doing it right Satomi-san. You will, surely, regret this decision."

"Oh yeah? You think so, Satoru?" he didn't reply, "Who will make me regret it huh? You? Or your overly pampered daughter?"

"No." he stood right next to Satomi, staring in her eyes, "Not me. Not my daughter. Someone else will. Someone. Will definitely."

"Huh. if someone from the family can't no one from the outside will. Who will make a mistake to rebel against ME?!"

Satoru started walking inside the mansion. He climbed the stairs to chase Naomi.

"He will. I have a strong gut feeling.. he will," He muttered making sure Satomi doesn't hear him.

An image of a boy with white hair, red-eye appeared before his eyes. One eye of the boy was... Closed.

Satoru ran, he reached Naomi's room. He took raised his fist and knocked on Naomi's door.

"Naomi-chan.. are you in there?" he heard soft sobs. He took a step back, "I am waiting for you,"

"Why? Why would she..? How can she be so cruel?" she sobbed, Satoru stood there listening to Naomi, "Marry? Marry a guy I don't even know? Why should I?! How can she?! I don't know how he looks, I don't know if he's the right guy for me or not, I am this young to get married... And! Just who the hell is this Allen Watts!? How can she just pick a random guy and-"

"Random guy?" Satoru scoffed, "Your mother's not a fool. She wants you to marry the heir of America's top family."

The door creaked open, "she wants to forge an alliance between two strong forces, between two top families."

"You mean-?"

"Hm. With your marriage.... Japan's top Royal family will form an alliance with America's top Royal family.

"Satomi wants a force no one will ever be able to win against,"
