She slumped back into her seat without an ounce of worry on her face since she knew exactly who was the most mischievous out of the twins despite their innocent looks. Only childhood favor prevented her from kicking Latona into the streets like bad meat, and their loyalty was unmatched by any other. The girl was like a dog in heat, and Aelia did not doubt that the thick collar around her neck would not prevent her from becoming entirely too friendly with male company. Latona currently sat on the opposite end, unable to see her mistress’s face. A wicked smile came on her face as her father’s motto played in her mind:<em>If the clay is stubborn when molding, try another way. It might yield more satisfying results than what you originally intended. </em>Her pans altered in her mind as she began thinking of other ways to win knowledge from those who offered it for a price.<br/><br/>Valoria remained quiet as the men spoke with each other. One might have thought they were of the Roman society since her manner did not indicate she was equal to them. When he smiled at her, she was not quite sure how to react so she settled with no reaction at all other than a respective nod as he finished speaking. She knew her sister might have smiled back before going as far as to say something flirtatious. But if her sister would behave in such a way, it was obviously wrong. A flash of confusion appeared on her face when he called her sweet girl before she turned to hurry or rather run back to the safety of Aelia. As soon as the wet girl returned to the car, Aelia growled at the state of her wet body. “Dear Jupiter, Valoria! I asked for you to tell him we had arrive, not bring this cursed water inside.” The girl muttered an apology as she kept her wet limbs as far as possible. A little sigh came from Aelia’s lips as she asked for exactly what happened during her interaction with Gauis. Valoria told everything, not forgetting a signal detail. She peered out the window, a little excited for their journey to visit her dear friend, Livia. She watched as they passed through the roads before boredom set in her mind. Hopefully, they would make it there in a reasonable amount of time.
