After everyone left Mira and Jack went to check on the traps that they had set. Heavens were truly merciful. Four of the traps had pheasants in them. Jack carefully took them out of the trap and handed them to Mira who threw them in space. The rest of the week went blissfully with Mira completing the work on the three cloths for Almera’s sister-in-law. But it was not the same for others.

Jason was wholeheartedly playing the dutiful fiancé while keeping Alina happy. Alina on the other hand manag

  • Second chance at happiness   I am going to rob someone.

    Lady Luck didn't seem to favour anyone in particular. Even though they diligently went from one apothecary to the next, no one managed to find even a single stalk. Still, they continued onward, each hoping the others had better luck.Matthew and John had just come out of the fifteenth shop when they saw a red and green flare light the skies above in the far east direction.“I need to head back.” Matthew spoke with urgency. “Come, I will drop you back at Southamberston and head there…”“Southamberston is on the way,” he added, seeing John about to protest.“No… I meant I am coming.” John pursed his lips into a stubborn line.“Not on my life…” Matthew shook his head, “I have no idea what’s up ahead.”“Alright… Get your brother-in-law’s permission and come.” Seeing John refusing to budge, Matthew could only bring out Alex.John followed grudgingly. He knew there was no point arguing. Perhaps he could trick Alex into agreeing, just like he had in their younger days…Matthew didn’t wait fo

  • Second chance at happiness   Give me half a day… let me see who I can rob.

    Zelda’s steps paused, but only momentarily before ignoring everyone and walking past them as though she couldn’t see them.No one thought much of it, most of them were used to her temperament, for the rest, it really didn’t matter.Only Gustav shouted and ran after her, “Stop right there… you snatched and didn’t even pay… how can you be so shameless?”Alex pulled his back once they entered the lounge, or perhaps thought he had enough fun at their expense, “Stop shouting… when have you ever won against her? Aren’t you just asking for a beating?”“Unfair…” Gustav muttered feigning a displeased expression as he sat down. He looked around and asked with a sly smile, “Where is the cub and his lioness?”“You do not want to go anywhere near him.” Cornelius chuckled feigning an expression of fear and failing miserably at that. He added pointing at Alex, “even the lion doesn’t dare…”Gustav raised his eyebrows inquisitively as his gazes flitted among the trio.“After Alex’s treatment, Mira fel

  • 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 communicate

  • 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   A man who came to ask for his sister’s happiness.

    “Woman, aren’t you bothered by the fact that another woman lives in your husband’s heart?” Albert asked curiously. “Why should I be?” Ursula shrugged “He never told me he loved me… nor did we marry for love?” “Shouldn’t I be bothered if he didn’t love his wife?” Ursula quirked her eyebrows in ridicu

  • Second chance at happiness   I never knew revenge felt so good.

    “Let me see who dares.” The guards paused their steps as everyone looked towards the source of the ferocious roar. Jack and Mira walked forward with an entourage of knights; Harrison and Carl followed closely as well. Old master Slegh twisted his lips in displeasure as he saw the person who arrived;

  • Second chance at happiness   Do you dare to despise?

    “No, Your Grace.” Harrison answered truthfully although his face was twisted with embarrassment. “We haven’t either.” Mira giggled “Come in… I will see what we have.” “No, Ma’am… we can’t possibly…” Harrison trembled at the thought of making his mistress cook for him. “Husband, they despise my cooki

  • Second chance at happiness   My home is where my Duchess resides.

    “Your Grace” Harrison pursed his lips into a conflicted expression. “What is it?” Jack knitted his brows. “Are you ready to come home?” “Aren’t we home?” Mira twisted her lips. “Your Grace, as Duke and Duchess of Southamberston, your home…….” “Husband, I want to stay here.” Mira interrupted Harrison
