❝𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐑𝐔𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐌𝐄, 𝐉𝐀𝐒𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐄!❞ Peony's voice boomed as she covered her sister's scar. "This monstrosity is to be covered―"

"I cannot really cover it when it is that big, sister―"

"Shh." Peony shushed Jasmine as she eavesdropped to see who their father is opening the door for.

In a very faint voice she hears Dorian enter, with his ego impeccably bigger.

If that was possible.

And then other voices with him.

The Mikaelsons.

"They're here!" Peony squeals, excited.

The excited squeal made Jasmine smile.

A soft one.

But also, a pitiful one.

Her sister wasn't always so... demanding and snobby.

She just couldn't find a suitable bachelor for her because they always found someone 'prettier'.

William and Jasmine tried to make Peony believe that she was beautiful. But one's own confidence is the most important thing.

And Peony didn't have that.

It wasn't Peony's fault.

It is not like she could choose her facial features from inside the womb.

Although Jasmine highly doubted it, Peony had always envied Jasmine.

But sometimes, very, very few times, she pitied her.

If Jasmine tried to speak to any man, she would have them on their knees in a mere moment.

But the moment she would say no to a valid suitor in a 'crude' way in front of their parents, All hell would break lose.

Their parents would repeat a lecture about how she is not to disrespect them.

Well, that's a story for another day.

Moving on, What crude way?

When the man is persistent, and she is stubborn.

Plus, her name is 'Jasmine' while hers was 'Peony'.

And the second she found out about Jasmine's scar.

She finally had an ultimatum.

And she couldn't have felt happier about it.

She knew her sister was very insecure about it, trying to hide it every chance she gets.

Trying to make it seem like it's nothing with a few winks and a shrug.

But Peony knew that that scar was why Jasmine never wishes to marry.

And she will use that to her advantage.

𓇢𓆸

They all ate in what could only be described as a deafening silence.
