Moments right when Saul left for the restroom, the girls began chatting among themselves.
“Do think it’s still wise for Saul to eat some of this food with us? Some of these are bit too potent even for him to handle.” Miyoko questions.
“As long as he takes his time with his meal and does not rush it like he did last time then he should be fine.” Andrea responds as she eats her meals.
“Mom should have thought of that before giving him a buffet the first time he came here.” Sara said as the girls laugh as they remembered the first day Saul to their world.
Jonna still can’t quite understand what they were saying or what they were laughing about it. But she didn’t pay any mind to them, she mainly focuses on her food. Despite lacking a tongue, she had never once eaten a decent meal before. The closest she has ever gotten was eating a whole piece of bread back in the Eastern City. The food itself was so good she could easily cry but she can’t. Not while in front of the Sanstia sisters.
“Jonna? How’s the food for you?” Sara asked.
“It is fine. I needed something different from the hospital food. Though it has been a while since I had a decent meal.” She wrote as she was writing very slowly.
Sara knows that she isn’t answering honestly which does bug her. While still doesn’t like that Jonna is joining for lunch she can’t help but notice that she isn’t being honest with herself. She would like to ask but then she heard a familiar voice coming her way. Immediately she grabbed her hat and pulls it down until her whole head is consoled by those passing by the outdoor section of the café. Using a head gesture, Sara signals Andrea and Miyoko to do the same. Jonna was left confused on why were they hiding their faces. Sara gestures her hand to don’t talk and tell anyone who they are. Jonna was left annoyed as Sara seems to forget that she can’t talk. However, right before she could right, she noticed a nobleman passing by over the small fence of the café. He seemed the same age as all of them. He was slightly taller, handsome, wore a black and white vest with a family emblem on his back and he was being escorted by two of what she assumes are his bodyguards. Though it would he is scolding and arguing with them.
“I thought I told you, two worthless buffoons, to not voice your thought during that meeting! Now I’ve lost my chance with a potential worm that would help me and my father do business!!” the nobleman yells.
“But sir, dealing with a sewer rat like Ratichist, you know he will sell you out if you do business with the likes of him!” one of the bodyguards responds. The nobleman responds by backhand his own guard.
“WHAT I DO IS FOR THE GOOD OF MY FAMILY! Whether or not it’s good it’s the only we can make a decent number of financial gains!” He yells.
“But sir!” the other guard spoke out.
“BUT NOTHING! You two keep your mouths shut about this and not mention this towards my father. Understand?” he asks.
Little does he know that everyone in the outdoor dining pretty much heard his yelling. Even Sara, Andrea, and Miyoko took notice when they heard Ratichist’s name. They thought he would be out of town by now but he’s still here in town apparently. Things turn for the worst when he enters the café and starts arguing with a waiter to enter the restaurant.
“I’m sorry sir, you can’t enter the restaurants for your anger has disturbed the other customers.” The waiter said.
“Like I a give a damn about you think about my behavior. I am a paying customer so I suggest you give me a table if you don’t want things to get ugly.” The nobleman threatens the waiter.
“Sir, I will have to ask you to leave at once.” The waiter asked.
The nobleman then punches the waiter across the face knocking him out. Everyone in the restaurant then shift their attention towards him as they see only a rude man entering and disrupting their meal.
“What are you lot looking at?! I am Viscount Renaldo Antonio! Son of Miraz Antonio! Either bow your heads in respect or begone with you!” he yells.
The customers turned their attention back to their table as none of them want anything to do with a bratty son of a nobleman. Though Jonna doesn’t understand what he was saying, his bad attitude, and punching a waiter, she can’t help give him a glare. But then she chooses to ignore him and continue eating his food.
“Honest no respect for my status here! Do they not know who I am anymore?” He said.
Just as he looks around the dining area until his eyes spot Jonna eating at her table. He was actually attracted to Jonna’s looks. Though Jonna and Sara pray that he doesn’t come towards their table. However, to their dismay, he does and the first he does is place a hand over Jonna’s shoulder.
“Why hello there, madam. I couldn’t help but notice that you eating alone by your lonesome. If you like, why don’t I pay off your meal and you accompany me to my manor for this evening.” He said.
However, Jonna ignored and continued to eat her food. But Renaldo was angered that Jonna was ignoring him. Most women would come to him and would respond yes to him. To have someone ignore him like this infuriates him. He then grabs Jonna by the cheek and makes her look at him.
“I am talking to you!” he yells.
“Leave her alone Renaldo!” Sara yells.
He turns his attention towards the other side of the table as he sees someone very familiar. Sara then removes her hat revealing herself to him. His anger boils strongly inside as he doesn’t like to see Sara again after so long. He then walks away from Jonna and then walks over towards Sara.
“I should have known that you would be mingling with the commoner’s life as always, Sara.” Renaldo said.
“Lovely to see you too asshole.” Sara said with an annoyance tone in her voice.
“Why do you continue to interfere with the lives of these damn commoners Sara? Should you stick yourself this low just because?” He argues.
“I don’t know, should you continue to be a dick to everyone you meet just because we broke up?” Sara argues.
“Not the mention beating up a waiter because he won’t let you in. No wonder everyone in town hates you.” Andrea said as she removes her hat.
“it’s no wonder you do nothing but scream and punch out your problem.” Miyoko said as she also reveals herself by removing her hat.
“The Sanstia sister all having a little lunch break huh? Never thought the likes of you girls would do such thing again.” He argues.
“Well, at least we have better manners than you do, asswipe.” Miyoko added.
“I don’t have time to argue with a whore such as you.” He argues.
“What did you call me?” Miyoko angrily asks.
“Enough! Both of you! Renaldo, as much as it was nice to see that ugly mug you call a face. I would appreciate it if you just leave us be. And I’d rather that you don’t cause another scene here. Otherwise, you’ll be escorted off by the police. You caused enough trouble here.” Sara said as she gives him a glare.
Renaldo sees that everyone in the dining area is also glaring at him. The peer pressure of everyone looking down upon him was enough to boil his blood on the inside. He wanted to take out his weapon out and kill everyone on sight but he remembers what Sara and her sisters are capable of, he refrains from doing anything else drastic. He takes a deep and turns over towards Jonna who was still eating her meal but she was keeping an eye out at Renaldo.
“Madam I do apologize for my attitude. But will you still accompany me to my manor if you would?” He asks Jonna in a restraining voice.
Jonna then puts her utensils down and wipes her mouths off. Slowly she reaches over to her cane, giving the impression that she’s going with him which excites Renaldo. But then, Jonna uses the cane to hook Renaldo's neck collars as she pulls and makes him hit the edge of the table with his nose, and then takes a full swing her cane at him knocking him away from the table. His nose began to bleed as he tries to cover it. Jonna stood from her chair and was preparing to swing at him again.
“YOU LITTLE-“
Renaldo attempts to punch her but his arm was pulled back. He looks over and sees a boy, who is shorter compare to him, and yet he’s pulling his arm back like it’s nothing. However, he sees that he’s wearing the Sanstia family crest on his breast pocket. Which angers him even further beyond reasoning.
“Sir, I’d appreciate it if you didn’t hit my sister.”
