MTLNOVEL Chapter 56: 56
" Did this beggar just touch us ? "
" I believe we've been too nice recently, maybe it's time you learn your place "
the twins punched Jareth and he fell to the ground, once there the brothers started kicking him repeatedly till they were satisfied
" what a loser "
" you should've stayed in that brothel with your mother "
they left laughing while Jareth couldn't stand up because of the pain
the dog from earlier approached him again and licked his face
" Damn it ! just leave already "
pissed he pushed the dog aside and stood up
" stop following me or this is how you'll end up too "
he warned the dog and left
***
Jareth was about to reach home when he saw his step mother in front of the door looking angry and the twins smiling mischievously behind her
" damn it "
he murmured
*smack*
the mother angrily smacked him across the cheek
" Do you think that just because the baron has accepted you in this house you are something important ? You dare hit my kids ? Did you forget where you came from ? Did you forget your mother was nothing but a prostitute ? you might not even be the barons son "
*smack*
she smacked him again
" Take him away and give him a good beating "
the baroness ordered and Jareth was taken away by the guards
***
" Did you get on the baroness' bad side again ? "
"....."
Jareth's face was unrecognizable, he could also barely walk but he somehow made it to his big sisters room
" come here "
she called him and started healing him
" How did you do it ? "
he asked his sister while getting treated
" How did you manage to survive ? "
" well….it's hard if you are just a powerless kid, this woman got married to that shit of a baron right after my mother died after that she abused me too just like she does to you….she looks scary when you are just a kid but after you grow up she looks like a big joke. Jareth you have to get stronger if you want to survive "
" If you can survive if you are strong then why can't you ? you are the strongest person I know, why won't you fight back ? "
" I gave up on life a long time ago ... .the idea of me having to live any longer isn't something that makes me happy, getting terminally ill is the best that ever happened to me…."
" But why ? we both know you could easily cure yourself so why ? "
" That's just for the best "
" So you are just going to leave me alone ? "
" It's a scary and lonely world you should learn how to fight your own battles "
Jareth was getting angry so he left the room before saying something he would later regret
" sigh….looks like this woman doesn't learn through words alone…."
the warm eyes were gone the sister stood up and left to see the baroness
" my lady do you need….."
the maids outside bowed to her but it wasn't exactly in respect they used to bully her when she was a kid but now they feared her the most in the house even more the the baron
" get out of my way "
the way she talked always sounded so calm but they knew the consequences if they stepped on her wrong tail, even now the maids could tell she was angry
" Azubah, my dear, what brings you here ? "
the baroness saw her coming and even though she didn't like it she still had to act kind because of the many eyes that were looking
*smack*
however Azubah didn't care about the audience at all and smacked her hard across the cheek resulting in the baroness to trip, if nor for the table that was in the way to stop her she would have fallen to the ground
" Mom ! "
" omg, baroness ! "
her kids and guests were shocked but Azubah didn't care at all she got close enough to the baroness and warned her
" Didn't I tell you that if you touch Jareth again I will make you pay "
Azubah caught her mouth with her hand and burned her face
" AAAAHHHHH!!!!! "
the baroness could only cry in pain and the public could only watch in horror
" If you bully him again you are next "
after she was done she made sure to warn the kids as well
she turned her gaze towards the guest
" I know you ladies, I wonder what the others would think of you if they find out you hang out with the mistress who has killed the baroness so she could marry the Barron not to mention about being a bad mother to the barons son, I am sure people would love to hear what I have to say about you…."
" We apologize, we, we never saw anything. We will make sure to see ourselves out "
everyone knew about Azubahs influence in the society, she was not only very respected but also very feared mostly because they didn't know the limits of her powers, everyone knew not to get on her wrong side, she was like a ticking bomb
****
" AREN'T YOU GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT ?! CAN'T YOU SEE SHE BURNED MY FACE AND HUMILIATED ME IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY ! "
" cough,cough….the burns are not that bad i'm sure they can disappear if you treat them correctly for a few months "
the baroness was trying to complain to the baron about everything that happened
" Are you still afraid of her !? "
" ME AFRAID OF MY OWN DAUGHTER, WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE !? "
" YOU ARE, YOU ARE STILL AFRAID OF HER ! "
" Don't be ridiculous now I see how you provoked her to attack you, she did good there is no reason for me to punish her "
" Are you saying I deserve this !? "
" Yes, now get out ! "
the baroness couldn't believe her ears, the baron always punished his daughter back in the days when she told him to and know he says that she deserves it, the baroness was fuming she left nonetheless
****
" Why did you come again ? "
the dog came once more
" fine, but you can't blame me if you get hurt "
"....."
of course the dog couldn't replay
" Do you have a name ? "
"....."
" How about I name you ? "
"....."
" What should I name you ? "
" Hhmm….oh I know. How about Doggo ? "
the dog could not speak nor understand but he still looked confused at this kids choice of name
" Doggo lets be friends "
***years later***
" Doggo ! Doggo stop "
the dog was running away from Jareth
" I can not believe you "
Doggo wanted to play but Jareth never had time, so the dog forced him to make time for him
" Huff….finally "
he finally stopped and Jareth picked him up
" Omg ! you scared me "
after he finally got Doggo he finally scanned his surroundings and behind him sitting on the sand was a woman
Doggo jumped out of his arms and went to the stranger
" Looks like someone wants to play "
Doggo was excited, wiggling his tail left and right enthusiastically at the woman
