After returning home, I thought about how to stop him from being beaten, when I suddenly heard my older brother calling me. I ran to open the door of his room, and he immediately asked, "Hey Arina, did you ignore the Duchess Netimo today?" I replied, "I didn't ignore Lady Meline, it's just that she asked me who I wanted to play with, but out of the two people she mentioned, I wasn't interested in either of them."
He then asked, urgently, "So what happened? Did you ignore her and throw tomato juice on her dress?"
Arina yelled, "No, that's not it! I just wanted to play with her second son, Brion!"
Just then, her parents entered the room. When she opened her eyes, she saw all three of them standing there, silent. The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and she felt confused. She noticed the three of them whispering to each other. She strained her ears to listen, but couldn't hear anything clearly. After a while, they all called out, "Arina." She turned around, but they went silent again. She thought they might be about to kick her out for playing with someone whose background was uncertain.
Just as she was about to apologize, her father spoke up, "The Netimo family has a son named Brion, but I didn’t know about that. How strange."
She replied, "I just ran into him by accident. But Mom and Dad said he’s mentally challenged."
"Ah..." she shouted. Everyone turned to look at her and asked, "What's wrong, Arina?" She, confused, asked, "How did you all know that? I never said anything."
