Sebastian's rejection immediately had Selene overwhelmed by the urge to fling herself to the ground. She knew better than anyone just exactly how capable Sebastian was in controlling the lives of others. To say that he was a murderer would not have been precise, because Sebastian did not take pleasure from killing. However, he often struck without warning and all it would take was a word or two for the man to kill. A simple "no" was more than enough for Selene to sense the malice Sebastian held against the Lynn Family.
"Grandpa..." she blurted out. "I...I want to relieve myself..."
"What?" The old Master Shaw didn't quite understand what she meant.
"I want to...pee."
"Pfft!" Someone in the crowd burst out laughing. Even Aino, who was merely five years old, was laughing her head off.
"Hahahahaha! Mommy, look at that scary troll! She can't even hold her pee. Only babies can't hold their pee, even I can hold it! She said in front of everyone she wants to pee, ewwww!" Aino mocked, before turning to make a face at Selene. "You scary troll! You and that other troll must be real sisters!"
Aino had been furious. This place was home to her great grand-parents, her grandfather and a grandmother that always seemed angry. All four of them had told Aino that this was her home, and if this was indeed Aino's home, it was naturally a place where her Daddy and Mommy could call home as well. She came here with her parents today, all dressed -up to visit her home, and was immediately displeased that they had to encounter the "troll". As though that wasn't enough, they bumped into the horrible woman who wanted to be her step-mother. Despite all the pranks Aino did on her, she had the nerves to come looking for trouble again, and Aino was livid to the point she could just bite that woman's head off! 1
The only thing that stopped her was that both Sabrina and Sebastian fought back. Aino might be a young child who was still in kindergarten, but she knew better than to interject when the adults were speaking. Deep down, she was blissfully enjoying the scene as an audience. Another reason she did not say anything was because both her parents were extremely sharp-witted and had not lost to anyone when it came down to arguing. Aino did not consider i t necessary to do anything if they were doing fine on their own. She was just going to enjoy the show.
Upon closer inspection, Selene had truly gotten uglier since the last time Aino had seen her, and Aino was itching to capture the moment so that she could have a good laugh over what she had seen today even after they went home. Aino immediately started searching for her Uncle Kingston and found him standing right behind her and her parents. He was standing next to the beautiful lady that was her mother's best friend, and the both of them were sneakily trying to take pictures. 1
Relieved that someone else was doing what she wanted to do, Aino turned her attention back to Selene, excited to see if the grown woman would actually wet herself.
The old Master Shaw jumped from his seat furiously and threw a teacup towards Selene. "Why would I have such an embarrassment as a granddaughter? Stay still!"
Selene sob uncontrollably as the old Master Shaw tried to save what was left of his pride.
"Sebastian-"
Sebastian interrupted. "Grandpa Shaw, you have misunderstood me. By 'no' I meant no, I wouldn't harm those three from the Lynn Family, not that I don't want to listen to you."
