Fiorello sighed deeply.

“I’m going to have sell off more land.”

“But Father if you keep selling our lands, I won’t have anything to inherit!” Faustino said banging into wine glass.

“Faustino,” Alessandra started.

“We have to eat and we need new clothes,” Elisabetta said to her brother.

“If it weren’t for all you girls, Father wouldn’t need to sacrifice our land for such frivolous things.”

“Faustino!” Alessandra said sternly.

Faustino stood and stormed away from the table.

Elisabetta looked at her parents. Fiorello was avoiding eye contact with his wife and Alessandra was biting her lip.
“It’ll be alright,” Elisabetta said.

No one answered, but they all silently prayed her words were true.

I wonder if Faustino really does feel that food is a frivolous thing, or if he was just blindly having a tantrum for the sake of it. Nicely done :)

Haha he was probably thinking more along the lines of their gowns and different toiletries that girls of their station need.

Thank you so much for reading!
