Chapter 11: This Is What You Want
The moment Irene's father left, she was expecting a slap in the face and harsh words. It wouldn't be the first time considering she had disobeyed her mother in the past.
That was why she had decided in her past life to keep the peace even if it meant losing a part of herself.
Rochelle pulled Irene by the arm into the house, but she didn't utter a single word.
Irene could only follow her mother's harsh guidance, wordlessly trailing her as she wondered what was next for her. For the first time, Irene had truly disobeyed her mother. She would certainly pay the price.
They went up the stairs until Rochelle was in her and her husband's bedroom where a bathroom was connected. They went through the door and stopped next to the wash basin where a mirror had been hung up on the plastered wall.
Irene looked in the mirror at her mother who stood behind her. She was up to Rochelle's chin by that time.
"Do you want to be a knight like your father?" Rochelle asked suddenly and Irene's eyes widened.
"Where is this—"
"Answer the question."
