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 decade

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 goddau
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
Second chance at happiness Crime of passion Vs crime of necessity… are they the same?
Silence reigned supreme as everyone waited for someone else to bear the weight of the judgement.As everyone deliberated, the man Alex sent had returned and handed over a paper. Alex eyeballed the paper and passed it to Baldwin who was about to sit back. He glanced at the paper, before turning his gaze to Alex who nodded subtly. He then turned his gaze towards Cornelius who too gave a subtle nod of approval.“Those whose names are called, please step to the right side of the hall.” Baldwin announced before calling out the names listed on the scroll.The soldiers looked at one another in bewilderment, but all the same they stepped to the right obediently as their names were called.“Crime of passion and crime of necessity…” Alex slowly opened his mouth, “Although they aren’t the same, the effect of both is the crime itself. And while our hearts may go out to those who acted out of necessity, necessity does not excuse the crime itself. Had it succeeded, the end result would have been no
Second chance at happiness My daughter doesn’t need that trash
Both Matthew and Harry had similar expressions of disgust as they waved their hand trying to feign indifference; Matthew opened his mouth in response to Duke Rovner’s sincere questioning gaze, feigning reluctance “We know that lad… he… he used to be entangled with my daughter…. They were a pair till
Second chance at happiness My wife has eyes only for me.
Cornelius and Baldwin had to keep appearances and didn’t have the same luxury as Matthew and Harry of being themselves and invisible at whim. They had to maintain their image while Matthew and Harry could blend with the crowd, whispering what they wanted to whom they wanted. “Why do you look differ
