“This work is most certainly exquisite but quite heavy.” One of the judges who had previously stretched out his hand to touch the robe asked with narrowed eyes “Do you think it is ideal to have such a heavy work for a king to wear? Weren’t you being thoughtless?” There was a tinge of admiration in his eyes although his question was sharp.

“Not in the least.” Mira didn’t cower to answer this pointed question. “Unfortunately, that is a burden for whoever sits on that throne has to bear. It is def

  • 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

  • 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   Who said he wasn’t avenged?

    “We were happy to see that your bond only grew stronger with time and have always been proud that it didn’t get tainted with the murk of the world around you.” Edith sighed “This is also why we never questioned his decision when he decided not to retaliate and hold the fort together till you got bac

  • Second chance at happiness   How can we become a stumbling block in your path to brilliance?”

    Inside the Bellevue palace, Cornelius’s eyes misted as he saw that the arrangement mirrored that of the main house of the Zumerong. Overwhelmed by the emotions brought about by the weight of his sins, he lowered his head guiltily, his lips quivered, however no words escaped his mouth. However, no on

  • Second chance at happiness   I have never blamed you, whether you believe me or not!

    Jack and Mira rode over to meeting point that they had discussed with Baldwin at the break of dawn hoping to sneak away without attracting any attention, however the presence of Cornelius and Aglaya in the carriage along with his elite soldiers, took away all their thoughts of sneaking away.Corneli

  • Second chance at happiness   If they were truly his friends, why didn’t they look for him all these years?

    Matthew was right, one sleep was all it took for Jerome to fall back into his usual miserable self. In the morning, while Matthew and Harry were flexing their muscles, rehashing on their shooting skills and swinging their swords, Jerome sat back on the grass, chewing a blade of grass and asked with
