“Our Duke also asked us to pass a message to your king.” The head guard spoke once again, noting that no one wanted to challenge them anymore “This is just the first of many greeting gifts that our duke and his highness, the supreme royal sovereign are sending your way.”

“We hope he enjoys every single one of them.” The head guard chuckled as he pushed Viktor forward “My lord, you better be on your way and not delay delivery of our sincerity.”

Viktor’s lips twitched but he didn’t respond; he kne

  • Second chance at happiness   Do you want to take the argument to Zelda?

    Alex wasn’t aware of the Siphons being brought back. He raised an eyebrow as he stared at the other two. However, before they could speak, the old man spoke up.“The strange thing is, I cannot sense their presence or even the scent of them ever existing past the front entrance.”Jerome, Matthew and Harry’s eyes widened in enlightenment, and they quickly exchanged glances to confirm each other’s theory. At the front entrance was where all the Siphons were handed over to Eldora.“What do you mean?” Cornelius asked with a puzzled expression.“It's as though they never existed... no, that's not right. It's as though they never entered this house at all.” The old man shrugged as he sat back. His eyes moving over to Alex with curiosity, “What’s going on?”Alex gave him a quick explanation… at least what he knew.“Impossible…” The man shook his head in disbelief. “There is no cure for Deora Dé…death is inevitable.”“Then congratulations… you have obtained enlightenment and can now communicat

  • Second chance at happiness   Did the cub cry out to wake the lion’s slumber?

    The next day, everyone still gathered around Mira first before breakfast. Although there was no change, it did little to dampen their hope. With the little butterfly, Annemarie, leading the way, the youngsters planned on what surprise they should arrange for her when she woke up.Cornelius, Alex and Baldwin sat in the lounge. Their attitude and mannerisms were anything but relaxed.Elias and Humphrey walked in, with Humphrey bickering but both stopped as they saw the sight in front of them. This was not an unusual sight but one that they had not seen for a very long time even if it was not relaxed, the warmth was not a mirage. While the two brothers were debating whether they should interrupt or leave, Aglaya, Elizabeth and Beautrice walked over from the other side and nestled in their husband’s embrace.“How long has it been since we…” Elizabeth sighed, the words choked in her throat. However, the heaviness didn’t linger as Cornelius laughed as he remembered their last reunion decades

  • Second chance at happiness   She cannot not want us anymore.

    Once the chamber was dismissed, many of the courtiers came forward to greet and express their well wishes to Alex. Although no one doubted his position as the grand duke of Worthington, they didn’t want to overstep boundaries.After the polite exchange, everyone dispersed.“Let’s go home, son.” Linus tried once again. He knew he wouldn’t succeed but he had to try.“Uncle…” Alex coughed awkwardly. He saw the hope in his uncle’s eyes and could only swallow the rest of his words. He turned his gaze towards his heartless siblings for support, but they too chose to play dumb and feigned ignorance of his wordless plea. They either found the tiles on the floor or the cloud patterns in the sky above their heads fascinating.“Let’s go.” Cornelius had just arrived after changing his court attire.“Aren’t you already in your backyard?” Humphrey chuckled, “Where are you going?”Cornelius scratched the back of his head before answering in a righteous tone, “I am going to visit my godson and goddaug

  • Second chance at happiness   I never had a chance…

    Cornelius exhaled, his features etched with exhaustion. His page hurried over to serve him hot tea and refreshments. Cornelius waved him away, devoid of his usual amiability, irritability evident for all to see.“My dear…” Aglaya gently patted Cornelius’s hand, spoke in a soft whisper, “every debt has its debtor. Don’t let the innocent burn in the flames.”His gaze turned towards his wife, his anchor and advisor. He sighed once again and gave a soft nod. He could never quite keep his temper in check. If he did not have his sworn brothers and wife by his side, he might well have become a tyrant.He threw a side glance at Alex and Baldwin, hoping against hope that they didn’t notice anything was amiss. They gave him face and feigned ignorance, but the upward curl of their lips spoke volumes. They knew each other too well, words were never needed.He coughed to regain his composure, took a sip of the tea, and nodded in acknowledgement towards his page. The old man lowered his head, there

  • Second chance at happiness   Involvement by association and not involvement by knowledge...

    Both lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound. “You will answer that question.” Cornelius slammed the table.“No” Both answered in unison. Cain tried to struggle one last time, “but that was not part of the operation I was responsible for.”“You were aware and participated….” Cornelius’s lips curled in disdain, “just not responsible… did I understand correctly?”Cain felt his body burning red hot from shame… that was exactly what he meant but he didn’t expect to be bared openly in front of everyone…“Being aware but not participating…” Cornelius paused in deliberation before continuing, “…in itself is a crime. Knowing yet not stopping… putting everyone in danger… how exactly does it make you innocent of the crime?”He didn’t wait for anyone to answer and continued, “Either way, that dilemma doesn’t exist in your case, you were aware and you participated.” He enunciated each word of the last part of his sentence.“Your highness…” Both Cain and Cole called out in unison, “We were

  • Second chance at happiness   You think you have time?

    The historians who were quietly scribing the events, sitting at the back of the chamber, nodded in unison, acknowledging the order.The soldiers who were punished were led out in an orderly manner by the leading guards.Silence returned to the chamber as the courtiers lowered their heads to review the scrolls distributed to them. The evidence was clear, in black and white. The chain of events related to the smuggling operation was documented with precision. Soldiers were transported from the East Kingdom to the gypsy lands under the guise of caravan trading, then distributed throughout the various duchies disguised as slaves. Dates, locations, transit points, and the number of people involved were all meticulously recorded.No one could refute the overwhelming evidence. There was also witness accounts from the gypsy tribe, with the one with the greatest weight being the one from the chief of the Lovari tribe who brought in more than a dozen to the spies in chains to open court.However

    Although the number of enemy soldiers were estimated to be about 200, it was only after they arrived at the encampment area in forest did, they realize that there was almost a battalion. Cornelius and Baldwin were shocked by what they saw; Even so, they knew what that this wasn’t the time to lose co

    Jack started the fire while the men filled the cauldron; the men’s eyes widened in shock as they saw the young lord start the fire and turned to Bari; Bari shrugged nonchalantly as he went out and returned with a pile of logs.“Are we returning?”“Yes… just give me a few minutes.” Jack answered as h

  • Second chance at happiness   This is my generosity

    Jack turned back to look at his beautiful wife one more time but he didn't see her; he knew that she was watching him and only slipped into space quickly so that he wouldn’t be delayed. He rushed to the side of the man with severed limb and asked, “I am not sure about what I am about to do. Do you t

    “How many are injured?” Jack turned to Parker, ignoring the man on the ground; he had no time to quibble, his father and godfathers were waiting for him to assist.“Three mortally wounded and four with serious injuries.” Parker answered seriously without taking any offence.Jack turned towards Bari
