Chapter Three [The two Dads]

Though Jane wasn't present that early in the morning, Joash makes fun while she is not around, who appears to be growing envious as a childless wife those times when Jane is unable to conceive yet.

When he is finished manipulating Olympia, he smiles at Olga and carries her in his large, long arms while swaying and dancing, leading her to the back door.

"Look out, my darling daughter; there are beautiful places and picturesque spots in the east region that I hope to occupy in the near future because it is a vast and fertile, productive land suitable for my livestock and family as leader," Joash stated as they smiled at each other, attempting to read each other's emotions and mental capacities.

“Since Rudolf will be our top security force commander and a brave warrior, you may be my firstborn successor. You should be supporting him as your brother, right? "Joash expressed his satisfaction as Olga's eyes kept scanning his tough, stunning physical outlook, making Joash laugh.

 Olympia heard them feeling low and nobody, despite having pretty, young and captivating personality, whispering,

"I am just a harlot concubine who is blessed with a firstborn daughter such as my beloved Olga. I am not worthy to be the mother of the heiress," Olympia said, keeping it to herself with tears streaming from her beautiful green eyes after hearing it.

As Olympia's nagging and humiliating thought crept in, Jane was also informed and alarmed by the prediction: "I will not consent to Olga being the heir. It ought to stem from my own ancestry with Joash," Jane remarks as she tries to devise a strategy to thwart Olga's dire prophecy.

That was the time when Jane suddenly approaches Joash to enter her room and signals for him to rest and lie down with her as she sees something to grab his attention and make love with him to deliver an instant first-born son. Joash lashes out at Jane's ways to grab his attention, as they close the door to conceal their love making from others. That’s the moment Jane confides in him that she is already conceiving with Ethan saying,

"I can feel the baby inside my womb, my darling. Could you please give me a long vacation so I can relax and be free from tension and depression that could lead to another terrible disaster—a sudden miscarriage?"

Jane enthusiastically proposes, persuading him that she is capable of bearing a son. “I would like our firstborn son to be named Ethan.

Meanwhile, Leilani stops thinking about the earlier incidents involving the romantic love affairs between Olympia and Rudolf as well as Joash in their midst, where Olga was the center of their attraction, after realizing that Ethan is the product of Janes' jealousy of Olga because Joash is giving her the affection and attention she needs to become the future leader of the large family and tribes.

"Now that Olympia mated with these two men one after the other on the same day, nobody knows who Olga's true biological father is."

Leilani concluded, grinning but feeling sorry for Olympia, the victim of Leilani's husband and son.

As time goes on, Olga is four years old, and Ethan is already three. Additionally, they are both ready to play together. Since Olga is older than Ethan, everyone looks out for her to prevent her from hurting him because they are already giving him all of their love and attention while ignoring Olga.

Leilani observes the events and watches anxiously in private for fear of ruining her own first family with Joash because Jane is so jealous of not having children at first. However, because Olympia is her own servant and gave to Joash as his concubine, Leilani views Olga as her firstborn daughter.

As his father and a member of his own family, Rudolf already had faith in Joash. He saw Olga's nanny there, laughing, playing, and chatting with the busy maid who was preparing lunch for the whole family. The maid was aware of his deepest secret with Olympia, but she did not even tell anyone. Then came Ethan, who frequently grabbed Olga's toys because Olga liked the ones that were only appropriate for men, like the armor outfit. "See how it fits me? I really look amazing," Olga said as she attempted to fit it.

Ethan sobbed over losing his own armor as a warrior, and everyone laughed. The two children eventually become rivals and the worst enemy because they are constantly fighting over the same toy.

"Now you do not need to fight for one armor because you have [your own]. You start practicing to use the swords and shield wearing the helmet and breastplate with the shoes so each of you will not get hurt," Joash said, assigning each nanny the responsibility of carefully watching over the two children. Then he left giving Ethan and Olga a big hug

A few days later, while eagerly searching for Olga, Rudolf returns from a business trip, and he never forgets to bring her something. “Come on, my love. I anticipate your happiness.” Olga just opens the large box and says, "Dad, you are so fantastic for giving me such a horse for a ride," as her eyes widen. "I love you, Dad," Olga says as she embraces him.

When Olga kissed Rudolf tenderly, Ethan became envious and said, "I also like to kiss you, Dad."

Rudolf turns his eyes to Ethan and hugs him warmly like his own kid. "Ethan, may I ride on your horse?"  Olga asks as she pursues him after he releases Ethan, who then grabs the horseback-riding plastic and starts to drive it, saying, "I also like horses." With a smile, Ethan says,

“Naturally, you are always welcome to ride along. You should always support me while I take the lead. That will undoubtedly fit us.”

"No, that is not what I want," Olga protests. “Since I am much older than you, you should sit behind me and I in front. In addition, I am the owner of that plastic horse," she continued. "Dad gave it to me, Ethan," Olga finally claims.

However, Rudolf steps in and says, "Hey kids, stop fighting for one horse. Next time, I will bring you another one. You share for that one in the interim, and please do not fight again, okay?"

When the two young children meet, they constantly argue over who will be the first to make others laugh without offering any insights into their attitudes.

While Ethan searches for Joash as his own father, Leilani watches from a distance as Rudolf treats Olga as his own daughter, lost in contemplation and pain. However, Ethan occasionally mimics Olga and treats Rudolf as his father as well, making everyone laugh at the confusion that resulted from having two fathers.

Every member of the family has disregarded and neglected Olga since she was a young child because they have been observing her to predetermine her personality and inner abilities when she is by herself.

The prophecy reiterates that she will go through a lot of tribulation while still in her mother's womb before being able to achieve her destiny.

She begins to struggle with such uncertainties as a baby, if she can still survive as an individual, as her family members put rivalries, competitions, and self-satisfaction ahead of determining who is the greatest in the family and tribe.

Olga’s fears and anxieties continue to emerge, and her desires to get attention, love, and acceptance from others gradually disintegrate and cave in to her inmost longings and desires.

Her guttural sounds she often makes are sounds echoing like she is singing in the air, diminishing as she turns to her quiet moments as part of her resting hours. It creates pleasure for her nanny, who feels like she is burdensome taking care of her without any compensation that can satisfy her basic needs.

When her family members and housemates abruptly notice and respond to her silent conduct, discovering that she is completely vacuous, they are all nervously frightened and move forward to check, stating

"What's wrong right now? “Our baby Olga seems sick, and she's noiseless, sluggish, and incomprehensible both day and night?"

Joash Ramirez, the family's head, believes he is her biological father and has spent his entire life managing his properties and activities in order to achieve a high-performance grade. He unexpectedly returns home.

He occasionally ignored Olga's demands as a small child, believing that her young mother Olympia, along with his Queen Jane and her nanny, would adequately attend to all of her requirements.

At that point, she stops having tantrums, which causes her to sleep like a torpid, despondent person since she feels unappreciated for her individuality and constantly rejects her basic wants. Joash's firstborn daughter's sudden behavioral shift, which seems unusual for a healthy baby, is also having a significant impact on him.

"Sir Joash, she hasn't made any noise for the past two days. We should see a doctor to identify her health problems."

“No need; let her have peace. She will soon get a playmate," Joash says as he leaves them unnoticed.

As a growing child, Ethan can now play and converse with her. Olga receives tender, affectionate touches from Olympia and Jane, as well as basic necessities.

On the other hand, people who are aware of the circumstances misread Olga's actions since they believe she should already be well-behaved because she is older than him.

"If she is truly destined to be our leader's successor and help our commander Rudolf protect the government, then it would be better to let her find a lot of rest and sleep alone so that she can gain the inner strength to face the next uncertainties." Adding, “she is just trying to get our attention. “

Others make hurtful remarks when Olga acts well, which upsets Olympia, Joash, and Rudolf—all of whom are incredibly loving and genuinely worried about Olga's safety.

To their astonishment, however, Rudolf dashes into the kitchen in search of food, tolerating Olga and Ethan not to be disturbed. But the annoying coquetry caused by the kitchen's steel cover, kettle, and cooking pans sliding to the floor shocked the two kids, causing them to stop and check. ”What’s going on now, Daddy Rudolf? ” Olga exclaims. Rudolf just looks at her, saying, "I just slipped because I am so hungry, my sweetheart.”

Ethan then carefully gathers the strewn utensils and hands them to the housekeeper. Olga expresses motivation by saying,

"My younger brother, you already know how to initiate. Maybe we began learning how to cook." She turns to see the chef grinning. "Dear Chef Cook, could you please teach us how to make my favorite pastries?"

"If you truly want to work with us, you should start by observing what we are doing and then slowly help us. But you are still too young to do our work," the chef says, grinning as he carries her to the standing chair. “I advise you to simply spend your leisure time with us and gain knowledge. “

At that moment, Rudolf had finished his meal, and before leaving, he kissed each of the two adorable children on the forehead, giving them the impression that their young father loved them.

Olga, filled with disgust, moves quickly as her gaze shifts to Rudolf, who is gradually fading from her teary eyes because she has the kind of fantasy that only Rudolf can provide—that of being lovable.

Olga lets out a horrible, startling wail as a result, and no one can stop her from chasing after Rudolf. They see that she is crying out of fear of losing Rudolf and that she is in a depressed, bluish state.

Rudolf is impacted by everyone's attempts to soothe her, but he is aware of where he should stand and keep his cool. When Rudolf  realized that no one could stop her from crying uncontrollably, her loving older brother promptly return and cuddled her, saying,

He gives her another kiss on the forehead and says, "Be a good girl, honey. I will come back after I am done with my work, promise." He also notices Ethan watching and taps his arms as he swiftly vanishes so he does not hear Olga crying once more. With a puzzled expression on his face, Ethan offers Olga his lovely toys in an attempt to console her.

Olympia is laughing with the nanny, who enjoys watching her bratty tantrums while Rudolf is gone.

Joash witnessed Rudolf tending to Olga one day while Ethan was with Olga's nanny taking him to the toilet to wash

Joash demonstrates his love and concern for Olga by carefully removing her from Rudolf's arms and assuming the role of her father after telling Rudolf, "My son, you should be out by now to manage our working men in the far-off area."

Rudolf is not familiar to his father’s behavior towards him  as his gaze seems a question mark ,and smiles nodding ,”yes Dad, I am going now.”

Joash turns to Olga again, suggesting gently, “My sweetheart, could you be a good girl from now on? Daddy loves you. "Play with your younger brother," Joash says to Olga as he slowly puts her down, seeing Ethan coming excitedly while Olga is trying to find her other toys to play with Ethan. This time, she does not feel envious that Ethan is getting her two fathers' attention because Ethan is also paying attention to her needs.
