Second chance at happiness Ha! They’re worse than us.
Back at Southamberston, the relaxed atmosphere was slowly dissipating.They had gained a lot in just a few days… finding the nephew, cousin, and grandnephew they had thought long gone. And in times like these, the chances of losing them again were just as real.What started as noise and chaos slowly gave way to serious discussion… filling in the exact details of what had happened… especially with Jerome.With each passing minute, the tension began to rise.The first to crack was, of course, the one with the shortest fuse.“Are you sure Jerome is back to himself?” Humphrey asked for what felt like the hundredth time. He pushed to his feet abruptly, the chair scraping against the floor. “I think I’ll head out and see if I can find anything.”“Don’t be silly,” Linus scolded. “Do you even know where they wandered off to?”Humphrey’s gaze slid meaningfully toward Jerome’s usual partners-in-crime.“Don’t look at us…” Harry shrugged. “Ever since he got his nephew, we’ve lost favour.”“They’l
Second chance at happiness They are forbidden… they bring trouble.
They rode in silence.Lady luck didn’t forsake them entirely… they ran into Bari and his men, a few towns away from the capital.“Young---” Bari started, then stopped. He cleared his throat. “Nephew… what are you doing here? So far from home.”“We…” Jack hesitated, pursing his lips, but Mira smiled, naturally calling out, “Uncle Bari!”“Aaiii... little Mira...” He greeted heartily, his attention immediately shifting to the little pearl his friends held at the tip of their hearts.He guided them to a hidden chamber, one that he often used when he travelled. He was no fool… he could see through Jack’s hesitation to speak and Mira hoodwinking them.“Uncle Bari, do you know this place well?” Mira asked, without explaining, “We are looking for apothecaries… ones that carry exotic potions.”“I know this place…” he paused, “well enough. But what are you looking for?”A mysterious grin tugged at his lips. “I know places that aren’t apothecaries, and yet you can get almost anything.”“I want…”
Second chance at happiness Do you know the way home?
Jerome went still. Completely still.Beside him, Lazarus froze.How had he failed to notice that his Lord was not with them? Was he worthy of his Lord’s trust?But unlike Lazarus, Jerome didn’t stay that way for long. He snapped out of his inner chaos, analysing every eventuality as he slowly lifted his head and looked at the bewildered faces before him. His gaze settled on Thomas.The young man had a tight, guilty expression, one that was anything but innocent.“Speak.” Jerome narrowed his eyes. That expression seemed to scream… ‘I am an equal partner in crime’. He knew it well… not on Thomas, but on his brother’s accomplice. Jerome shook his head as the thought came unbidden.Like father, like son.Thomas exhaled, defeat already written across his face, silently apologizing to Jack.“They wanted to ride to Stranton’s place to seek the healer, so we wouldn’t waste time fetching her once we reach Southamberston.” He shrugged lightly. “What we don’t have right now is the luxury of time
Second chance at happiness I cannot guarantee the success of anything if I so much as sense those two anywhere near me.
By dawn the next day, Jack and his entourage had arrived at the ice cave. This time, there were no surprises… they knew the drill.Zelda was at her last straw when Jack arrived.She had forgotten just how insufferable those two could be… or rather, how insufferable they became when their sworn brother was hurt. Any longer, and she might have ended up blowing the two of them…and this entire place apart…“Do you have a plan?” Zelda asked, her expression midway between enthusiasm and exasperation. She had never felt so desperate as in these 24 hours… even the decade long frustration of not being to find a cure couldn’t compare…Jack cocked an eyebrow towards Thomas, taking in Zelda’s state.“That’s my father for you…” Thomas muttered. He leaned forward and whispered, “Add godfather Cornelius into the mix… I am honestly impressed this place is still standing.”“The children have a plan.” Jerome shrugged; he wasn’t convinced but there wasn’t anything much he do either.Zelda turned her att
Second chance at happiness The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree… even if it never saw the tree.
Back in the privacy of their room, Jack had just finished taking a bath when Mira began her negotiations.“Husband, can you listen to me?” she asked, slipping into his lap and wrapping her arms around his neck. Her eyes blinked up at him expectantly, “I have worked out a way, without getting into trouble.”“My dear wife, I know what you want to do…” he paused. “Or at least I think I do… and that’s dangerous. We are no longer on our own. There are people all around us.”“I know… I know…” Mira covered his mouth “Just listen to me first.”Jack sighed helplessly, gently pulling her hands away and pressing a kiss to them. “Alright. I will listen… but you have to listen to me if I feel it’s dangerous.”Mira pouted as she looked at him. Her gaze slowly turned sly. Behind her back, she made a small gesture, as if nullifying whatever promise she had just made, before nodding obediently.“Alright.”She explained her plan to Jack in detail, carefully leaving out one critical detail- the cost. Th
Second chance at happiness Looks like I earned myself a lifetime protective talisman.
Jack couldn’t bear to stay angry with his beloved wife.But anger didn’t simply disappear. It lingered, coiling tighter, sharper, demanding release. And he knew what awaited him when he returned… the conversation would continue.So, he went to the one place where he could vent without guilt- the training field.At first, the soldiers were thrilled.Training with their lord- sparring, no less, in one-on-one combat. They rushed forward, eager to prove themselves, competing for the honour.Then the first man hit the ground. Hard.The second lasted longer, just long enough to realise his mistake.By the third, the mood shifted.They realized that this wasn’t a simple training session.This was a storm wearing a man’s skin. And they were standing in its path.Their lord was venting his anger, and they, the little shrimps, were no match for the lion.The clever ones began to disappear, quietly, quickly, remembering urgent duties elsewhere.The slower ones learned the hard way.Jack spent th
Second chance at happiness When did you become wise?
“This is so pretty.” Joan fawned blinking with feigned innocence. “Your parents might also be coming.” Caster paused “Do you want to ….” “No need.” Joan interrupted and feigned a regretful expression “They won’t accept me anymore.” The real reason was she wanted to enjoy the glory Caster’s reservati

Mira and Jack reached the dungeon where Alina was held towards late afternoon. “Mira, you came??” Alina ran to the bars in excitement as she saw Mira. “What do you want?” Mira put on a rude front even though she was shocked by Alina’s state. “Nothing.” Alina shook her head helplessly before whisperi

He didn’t stay long. He got the dresses and came straight back. He saw a suspicious looking woman sneaking around their manor when he returned. “Who are you?” Jack knitted his brows in annoyance. “I… I …” Muriel stuttered “Is this Mira’s house?” “Who wants to know?” Jack wasn’t polite. He didn’t lik

Mira and Jack went into the costume shop as Martin and Oden were distracted with the shop selling garden tools. Mira got a wig with shoulder length hair and sideburns. She also bought thick eyebrows and a pair of glasses for Jack to wear. They returned discreetly and stood behind Oden and Martin. “F
