Chapter 112: 112. Drama
Varian was the third brother of Dono family. The plan was to manipulate him using the same as Caius.
'I hope Varian would be easy to fool like this brother.' Amelia grinned and left to meet him.
Varian, with the fire of youth still burning in his eyes, had always felt the sting of being the last in line, the final note in the symphony of his family's legacy. It was this inner turmoil, this smoldering ember of resentment, that Amelia sought to fan into a blazing inferno.
She already interacted with him enough time and knew a lot about him. Varian also had enough trust in her, which she's going to exploit.
Amelia found him as twilight embraced the gardens of the estate, the fading light casting long shadows upon the paths where he often sought solace from the weight of his birthright. The air was perfumed with the scent of blooming nightflowers, and the gentle murmur of the fountains played a soothing backdrop to the scene that was about to unfold.
"Lord Varian," Amelia called out, her voice a soft caress against the evening breeze. "Might I walk with you for a while?"
Varian turned, his gaze falling upon the vision of loveliness that approached him. Amelia's beauty was undeniable, her form a silhouette against the dying light, her movements a dance that beckoned him closer. "Lady Amelia," he replied, a smile playing upon his lips. "Your company would be my pleasure."
As they walked, the gravel crunching softly beneath their steps, Amelia began to weave her web. "You are a man of great potential," she murmured, her words laced with a seductive promise. "Yet, it seems to me that you are confined by the expectations of those who came before you."
Varian's smile faltered, the truth in her words striking a chord within him. "It is the curse of the youngest," he said, his voice tinged with bitterness. "To always follow, never to lead."
Amelia stopped, turning to face him, her eyes glinting with an intensity that held him captive. "Why should you live in the shadows of your brothers?" she asked, her hand reaching out to brush against his. "Why not forge your own path, one where you stand tall above the constraints of birth order?"
Her touch was electric, a jolt that awakened a longing he had long tried to suppress. "And how would I do that?" Varian inquired, his defenses beginning to crumble under her gaze.
"With cunning, with courage," Amelia replied, her voice a siren's song that pulled at the very fibers of his being. "With an ally who sees your worth and knows your desires."
They resumed their walk, the garden around them a tapestry of shadows and whispers. Amelia spoke of a future where Varian's name was spoken with reverence, where his actions dictated the fate of the Dono family. She painted a picture of a world where he was not just a participant in the game of power but the one who controlled the board.
Varian listened, his heart racing with the possibilities she conjured. Amelia's allure was a beacon, drawing him away from the unity of his family and into the treacherous waters of betrayal. Her promises were honeyed venom, sweet to the taste but deadly in their intent.
"I have to leave right now, Lord Varian, but I hope you'll consider my words and won't neglect because it came from an servant." Amelia smiled, and left him alone under the moon.
Varian didn't say anything and looked mersmarised. The last smile totally captured him and his heart began to beat faster than normal.
But he soon came to his senses. He already had a lot of dissatisfaction towards his brother, and Amelia's words further fuelled them.
In the days that followed, Varian found himself ensnared by Amelia's charm. She was always there, a constant presence that stoked the fires of his ambition. She whispered sweet nothings that were, in truth, the carefully crafted words of manipulation. She touched him with a tenderness that masked the cold calculation of her intentions.
Varian slowly fell into the trap and his reaction was unexpected by Amelia. He didn't wait like Draken and Caius, instead he directly arranged a meeting inviting all the family members.
'What the fu** is this idiot trying to do?' Amelia thought, biting her nails in frustration.
Her plan was to slowly seduce the brother's and create a conflict between them for attaining her.
Amelia even planned on how to make the brother's suspicious against other, while trying to be innocent.
"All my plans are ruined by this idiot. I hope he doesn't expose my identity during this meeting."
Amelia knew that Varian was going to directly confront his brothers and mother in this meeting. Unlike his brother, he was hot blooded guy, who doesn't care about the consequences of his action.
They very next day, everyone gathered including Shark Head and Amelia gathered in a spacious hall.
Varian didn't say anything even after everyone arrived. He seemed to be waiting for someone important.
The elder and family member didn't raise any dissatisfaction for making them wait, even Draken and Caius kept quiet.
'Did you know the reason for this sudden meeting Shark Head?' Kai asked, he was busy in another matter, so didn't have the time to notice Shark Head's situation.
'I know, young master.' Shark Head muttered and explained everything to Kai.
Shark Head sent a assasin from his group to watch Amelia's every action. The assassin did his job perfectly, giving information about Amelia's action and plan to Shark Head without fail.
Shark Head knew Amelia wasn't up to any good, so he sent a assasin to eliminate her on the spot if any trouble arises. He also knew that everything he did must be under his father's watch, so he must show his value by using his brothers.
'You did a good job, and I want to see how this situation turn.' Kai smiled. He was excited to watch this drama.
