Meeting the Russell brothers

Sophia and I sat in a carriage leading us deeper and deeper into a mysterious forest. Finally, we arrived at the huge castle.

Jasmine- I didn't think that he literally meant a castle...... But this is so huge!

This is so different than the apartment where mom and I used to live. While we were barely getting by.... my father was enjoying the luxury of the castle all the time!

Sophia- Phew! It was a long journey, wasn't it?

( I am currently creating this novel from the computer, so I don't know how it will look like to the readers...)

Jasmine- Yeah, but traveling with you makes time fly by.

Sophia- !!!!…..

Sophia didn't quite know how to react.

Sophia- Th-Thank you!

Aw, she's nervous. She's so cute!

Sophia- B-but we are lucky that we didn't run into wolves on the way!

Jasmine- What?! There are wolves in the forest!

Sophia- Haha, you'll figure it out soon, miss! So, miss. I'll go get the master. Would you mind waiting here for a little bit?

Jasmine- Yeah, sure.

When I was looking around the castle... I heard a voice behind me.

??- Hi!

Jasmine- H-hello?

He was tall, with vivid and colourful tatoos. His doe eyes and masculine body makes him look breathtaking.

??- So, you're the girl?

Jasmine-  Do you know me?

??- I heard that you were arriving today. You are a lot cuter than I expected.

Jasmine- I'm Jasmine. And you are...?

Andrew- My name is Andrew. I'm the youngest of the three Russell brothers. I'm the only warm person in this cold and dry palace... Haha!

..... If his surname is Russell, he must be my half-brother...

He shook his head, as if he had read my thoughts.

Andrew- No, not what you think. Edmund gave me a second chance in life, but he's not my biological father. Which means... there would be nothing wrong with us making love to each other.

Jasmine- Excuse me?!

Andrew- Haha, I was just joking.

What in the....?!

Andrew- Father tells me.. that you are an art student?

Jasmine- Oh yes, I majored in fine arts.

Andrew- Wow, so you majored in arts? I used to major in arts too. I think we'll have a lot in common.

Jasmine- I'm always ready to chat when it comes to art.

A man walked down the stairs.

??- Andrew, please be quite.

Jasmine- H-hello?

Wow... look at him. He doesn't look so friendly.

Jay- You must be miss Jasmine. Nice to meet you. I'm Jay Russell.

Andrew- That's my elder brother. He's the boring bookworm. He's a lot nicer than he seems.

Jay- Don't start with the crap!

Andrew- He's just shy!

Jasmine- Haha!

There are both so cute!

Jay- Ahem! B-but, where's Theo?

Andrew- I don't know....

I looked around for Theo.. and found a man unloading my luggage from the carriage! Those are my suitcases... He's trying to carry all the load by himself! It must be heavy.... I can't leave him like that!

Jasmine- I'm just going to the garden.

Andrew- Hmm. Do you want me to come with you?

Jasmine- No, it's alright!

I went to the garden quickly.

Jasmine- Hello!

A tall man unloading my luggage from the carriage looks at me.

Theo- Hi.

Jasmine- My name is Jasmine. You must be Theo Russell.

Theo- Yes. Why did you come outside? You could have stayed inside.

Jasmine- I brought a lot of stuff. I'll carry this!

When I tried to unload my bags from the carriage... Theo smiled and stopped me.

Theo- I like how independent you are, but look at your arms. You can't lift anything with those. Maybe your luggage can carry you inside instead!

Jasmine- But I would like to help you...

Theo- I'm fine. You can just stay here and watch. I like to work out, so this is great for me. If you're that concerned... Why don't you just keep me company while I do this?

Jasmine- Keep your company?

Theo- Yeah, so that I don't get bored while doing this.
