Insulting Each Other
"Oh my God, what happened here? Oh no...!" Duchess Margaret shouted hysterically.
Duke Robert and Mr Dorough are busy separating these two boys. Soledad's mother immediately grabbed Soledad's hand, forcing her to stop.
"Stop it already, why are you fighting?" Asked Duke Robert who was standing between the two of them.
"This must be this kid's doing, how dare you hit my grandson?" Duchess Margaret snapped, who immediately hugged her grandson.
"Forgive us, Your Majesty, forgive us!" Jannet asked, looking down in shame.
"Excuse me? Watch my grandson's face get scratched by your son's dirty hands! If anything happens to my Nicky, can you take responsibility?"
"Mother, never mind, they are both just small children. Fights like this usually happen," said Madam Tatiana.
"How are you, Tatiana? Nicholas has never been scolded, let alone hit, why are you defending that brat?"
"Grandma, my cheek hurts!" Nicholas complained spoiledly to his grandmother, of course he did that on purpose to get the attention he definitely got.
Soledad, who was silent, could only hide behind her mother's body, who continued to look down, embarrassed, annoyed and disappointed by her daughter's actions.
"That's it darling, it's okay, it'll be treated later!" Said Duchess Tatiana.
"What if my face gets infected by bacteria from his nails, Mother?"
"No, honey, come on in? Soledad, you come in too, okay? Let me treat your wounds!"
"No need Tatiana, just let her mother do it, you don't need to bother like that." Duchess Margareth said forbid.
"It's okay, Your Majesty. You'll get better on your own," said Jannet, refusing, she felt bad, especially seeing the look on Duchees Margareth's face which showed that she really didn't like Jannet and her daughter.
"Don't talk like that, Jannet. Soledad, come on in, let me treat your wound!" Duke Robert said. Once Duke Robert spoke, no one dared to argue.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Soledad said while lowering her head, she hesitantly stepped towards Duchesa Tatiana.
He suddenly felt uneasy, his body had goosebumps. There was a scary aura around him, as if a figure was glaring hatefully at him.
Soledad raised her head, her eyes immediately caught a human figure who was looking at her sharply with eyes full of revenge. From the look in his eyes, one sentence was implied, "I will not forgive you," which was roughly the sentence that was clearly visible from his sharp eyes.
Soledad ignored him, trying to ignore all the signals directed at her.
Duchess Tatiana brought Nicholas and Soledad into the house and told them to sit on the sofa, while Soledad's mother, Jannet, went straight to the kitchen to do her work.
Duchess Margareth, who continued to be angry because her beloved grandson was injured, had to be calmed down by the Duke, who asked him to understand and not need to escalate the problem.
Meanwhile, Duchess Tatiana took wound medicine from the medicine box and left the two children in the living room. They sat far apart and looked away from each other, making the whole room fall into silence.
This was not the end of the feuds and wars between the nobles and the common people. But this was still the beginning of an unhealthy relationship, even for small children like them.
Nicholas had a sullen face, he really didn't like this kind of situation. How could a young master like him be insulted and hit by a servant boy?
Soledad is not much different, she has a super ugly face, her lips are pursed and her face is wrinkled. He knew this was bound to happen, a fight that was very common for him and it was certain that he would be in a position to be blamed.
"I hate you little brat!" Nicky said.
"I hate you even more!"
"Anyway, I really hate you!"
"I hate you even though I didn't hate you before!"
"I hated you first!"
"I hate you even though you are me, that's how much I hate you." Soledad said.
"He's so annoying!" Nicky thought, he was really annoyed because he couldn't reply to Soledad.
Duchess Tatiana returned carrying a medicine box, a bowl filled with water and a small towel. From afar, he smiled when he saw the two children sitting far apart, looking away, the silence in the room made him laugh. For him, children's fights are just a process of understanding each other.
"Wow...what's up with you two again?" Duchess Tatiana asked, she approached Soledad who was sitting in the corner of the sofa.
"Mama, why treat her first? Your child is me, not him!" Nicholas said irritably.
"Don't be like that, Nicky. Whoever comes first doesn't matter,"
"It doesn't matter what? It's clear that the child pushed me first, but you defended him. Don't you love me anymore?" Nicholas was disappointed, his eyes filled with tears. Soledad who saw it was stunned and couldn't believe it when she saw the tears that almost spilled from the boy's eyes.
"You crybaby!" Soledad said spontaneously, she wanted to laugh. However, seeing Duchees Tatiana sitting in front of him, he was forced to hold back.
"You shut up!" His shouts became increasingly emotional.
"Nicky, a boy, is definitely stronger in enduring pain. Meanwhile, Soledad is a girl, so Nicky has to give in, right?"
"I don't want to give in to him. Never mind, I hate Mama!" He said as he left.
"Nicky...!" Duchess Tatiana could only sigh at the behavior of her only child who was very spoiled and selfish.
"Your Majesty, I'm fine. It's fine if it's not treated, it will heal itself,"
"It's okay Soledad, Nicky's character is like that. So, don't feel bad, okay?" Duchess Tatiana smiled sweetly, Soledad was stunned to see it. What a very beautiful and kind woman.
"Even if you say it like that, you must still feel uncomfortable?" Soledad thought.
Soledad hated nobles, but somehow it was difficult to hate a woman as beautiful and kind as this. Seeing him smile, makes us want to smile too.
