The carriage stopped at the manor; it was a short ride. Jack and Mira alighted from the carriage without waiting for the etiquette that was customary in the circle of nobility.

Mira’s face lit up, her lips curling up into a blissfully happy arc as she whispered, “We are back.”

“Um” Jack habitually snaked his arm around her waist and walked forward; he raised his hand to gesture the footman to stay back, conveying that their services were no longer required.

  • 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   What good is being heartbroken after the event?

    Matthew and Harry left the group, heading back through the passageway, their destination, the forest well rather than Southamberston. Anyone with a little brain would know that the Sleighs wouldn’t be foolish enough to hang around at Southamberston; they didn’t head towards Southamberston nor the in

  • Second chance at happiness   What could make him change his legions?

    “Not quite…” Harry spoke up chuckling with a shrug “Anyone who could have activated that trapping and is not on our side is on the other side and by excluding the ones who didn’t have the chance to activate the trapping door, we can identify our man or a group of potentials.”“Alaistair tops the lis

  • Second chance at happiness   Ah…. father you too!

    Jack and Thomas swept their way through the palace grounds towards their meeting point, slaying those without the emblem but halfway through, their luck seemed to have run out. Jack and his men fell into a 3x3 trapping pit just as they were nearing the meeting point.Thomas and the men following him

  • Second chance at happiness   They forgot who I was before I became queen of Hal...

    Leal led Cornelius and the men with him through the narrow passage towards the inner hall. Once they reached the inner hall, they dismissed Leal to carry on his tasks as both, Cornelius and Baldwin were more than familiar with the secret passages from here. Cornelius wanted to check on Aglaya first
