Genius and the villainess (villainess reverse the hourglass)

Chapter 2 : family gathering

Saturm was having that dream again, but this time is a bit different, he saw mielle and aria were having a poet recital. From his eyes it was a challenge set by aria, when she recited the poem, he immediately know what come next. And mielle took a bait and recite for his family, but it didn't go well, he can see shadow covers her face when he know that she was furious. The dream coming to an end, because the sunlight was hitting on his face, he woke up slowly and hear max at the door. He started put on his clothing, he really isn't into a flashy attire, so he only take some plain light blue attire with him. When he and max arrived, the family was already waiting for him. He sat next to aria, since he really didn't to want see mielle face after the dream he had yesterday, he then saw his mother as well. His mother was poisoned in his dream so he won't not let it happen again, his stepfather was talking with his mother. He really didn't want to talk to them, he sipping some lemon ice tea. This is his favorite drink because he didn't like the hot tea on his mouth, then he hear that aria want recite a poem for their stepfather. He spilled some of tea in his mouth in shock, because that what exactly happened in his dream. The family was shocked by sudden movement he made,

His mother asked him in concerned "saturm, you okay? Is the tea too sweet for you?"
Max start to whip his mouth and said "or did you have hole in your mouth? Oh young master, what will you do without me?"
Saturm sarcasm said "then I'll will be happy won't I?"
Mielle said concerned not really "oh, brother saturm, you have to be careful, or the table would be ruined."
Saturm keep a smile on his face "I will be careful my little sister."
Saturm thought while saying that 'I really want to slap you in the face right now.'
Their stepfather changed the topic "how let's hear about the poem from you aria?"
Aria started to recite "after the passing of a sorrowful spring so I will send my applause to your rose. My beloved lady."

They were amazed by her performance, their mother was proud of her, she started to how she always reading book when they have no money. She think that she had more chances to learn now that she is here, saturm know that his mother is praising her but that sound more like a joke since they only eaten rotten grass back then. In his last dream he saw aria didn't know that mielle was only better cause she'd learn it first. She gave up easily even thought he had encouraged her to continue, and she started to focused on dolling herself up. It was easy to turn her into a villainess. When mielle said that there was a reply to that poem, he know exactly how this going, but he won't help her this time. Since he had know her true nature,

Mielle started to recite "it goes like this, I will collect all roses, and with all my respect for you. I will shower it onto your future!"
Stepfather praising her "mielle, your poem recital are becoming more and more beautiful!"
Saturm said to her sarcasm "mielle, your poem is beautiful, but you don't seem to know the true meaning of the poem you said. What a pity."
Aria said with a pitiful face "mielle, that the reply poem is actually, composed by the first count's younger, who tried to murder the count. Actually I... didn't memorize the poem because of that."

Saturm snickers at mielle since that dream have a scene that it was aria who recite the reply, and she was shamed by their step brother. He had a big fight with his stepbrother because of it, and now he is staying quiet, max had seen that saturm knows the meaning of that poem. But he just quiet since he know his position in the family, and he can at least tell what kind of person these family are. And best friend never betrayed each other, mielle probably memorize the entire book, so this is what she was going for. They saw how their stepbrother comfort mielle, and to be honest, their were totally satisfied and was happily eating their meal. While they were eating their meal, he noticed that aria was having some problems with the utensils. And that why he had asked his mother to have a manners tutor, she of course agreed with him. That made aria so happy that literally jump at him in surprise, and had suggested that she want a good tutor.
