“Mom, we are home.” Oden called out as entered the house. John was sitting on a chair drinking ale; he had just arrived a few minutes earlier.

“What did you do?” John looked curiously at the linen bundle in Martin’s hand and the pheasants in Oden’s hands.

“Son, don’t …” Beth frowned.

“Mom, cousin gave it to Big brother.” Anne-Marie hurriedly interrupted her mother “Big brother tried to refuse…”

“This child…” Beth smiled helplessly but she felt happy that her nephew cherished her.

“This is f

  • Second chance at happiness   Would you like to hold my hand?

    Mira shivered as she felt the cold air biting into her bones. She moved closer to Jack, who hugged her instinctively, enveloping her in his warm embrace.“The blindfolds can come off.” Taro’s voice echoed through the space, a calming melody to the frozen souls.One by one, they obeyed, pulling off their blindfolds and hugging themselves or their partners, for warmth.Once the blindfolds came off, their reactions were perfectly synchronized. They stared around in frozen awe… frozen both physically and mentally.They were in an ice cave, and it was nothing short of magical, even though they had no idea that they were several feet underground.The walls and ceilings looked like reverse bubbles, some surfaces so smooth, they gleamed like crystals. Even the ice formations were enchanting; they shimmered everywhere, icicles, ice draperies, frozen streams glowing faintly beneath the surface, jagged stalagmites rising like sculptures.It looked more like a crystal castle than a cave, especial

  • Second chance at happiness   I’ve never lit a fire I couldn’t put out.

    The next hour was a rush, spent organizing everyone’s travel details. It wasn’t an easy feat, coordinating more than twenty people, and that too incognito. But Harrison’s skills were no joke. They had been honed in the fires of service to the Haribeorts.Within the hour, two travel carriages stood waiting at the back gate, disguised as ordinary wagons, the kind used by commoners for long-haul journeys across the kingdom. Inside, however, they were fitted for nobility, complete with every creature comfort the era had to offer.Leal took the rider’s seat of one, while Taro rode the other. Everyone except Jack and Jerome was blindfolded.Although Jack didn’t want Mira blindfolded, he eventually gave in to her insistence. She didn’t want this to become the seed of a grudge, one that could strain a friendship that had endured decades, surviving even distance and long silences.It wasn’t reasonable to keep everyone blindfolded for the entire day-long journey, so they agreed on a compromise.

  • Second chance at happiness   You know who I am?

    “So, we are not the youngest anymore… ha…ha…ha…” Axel was the first to burst out laughing, breaking everyone from their reverie.Taro glanced at the younger version of his mischievous young master and grinned as he retorted with affection, “Nay, that position is still yours to keep. Leonie is older than you by 6 months.”“You know who I am?” Axel asked, his eyes wide as a saucers.“Sot!” Avril rolled her eyes.Taro chuckled, “How could I not?”Axel grinned sheepishly as he realized the folly of his question. He slowly took two steps back which sent everyone into laughter again, easing Leonie’s nerves.“You… you are Jack’s sister?” Orseus, who was slow to catch on, stammered as he came out of his stupor.“You really are his sister?” He didn’t wait for an answer. He burst out laughing, looking like he had won the world. However, his happiness didn’t last long. Another thought crossed his mind and he stopped abruptly, turning towards his father.His expression twisted between anger and ho

  • Second chance at happiness   Whatever their judgement, it must be fair under the law of the land.

    Silence took over the breakfast table, looming over like judgement itself.Jerome was the first to break it. “Prison time cannot be negotiated. As for the rest, it is open for discussion. By the rest, I mean whether to be re-sold as a common slave, sold to the brothel, or even release without the label of slave, it is all negotiable.”He lifted a hand to silence Martin and Oden as he saw them shift, their demeanour expressing that they were about to voice their opinion.“I am not saying that she is above the law and that her relationship to you excuses her behaviour but…...that also does not take away value from your services.”Jerome continued “Their involvement in the kidnaping warrants prison time, there is no argument about that. Whether their actions can be interpreted as treason is another matter entirely. And considering your contributions, despite not being trained or called upon, cannot be overlooked. Their association can be explained as nothing more than being manipulated.”

  • Second chance at happiness   Whatever the law decides to be her fate, shall be hers!

    The next morning brought new surprises for everyone at Southamberston castle. Cornelius and the others had stayed back at Southamberston and were all seated around the dining table in disguise for breakfast, when a soldiers from the castle’s outpost arrived, requesting audience with the duke and duchess.“Your grace, there are two men and a young lady at the gates requesting entry to the castle.” The soldier informed Jack, bowing respectfully.“One of the men asked to pass the message to the Shadow Soul, that Eagle comes to pay respects to the Cub.”“Let them pass” Leal stepped forward and whispered to Jack “They are your father’s men. At least eagle is, that’s our code name, and he will never bring danger into your fold.”Jack gestured his approval with a wave of hand. Though his eyes sparkled with curiosity, he maintained a calm façade and continued with breakfast, as he didn’t want to rush the others. Harrison followed the soldier to the front porch to await the arrival of the guest

  • Second chance at happiness   Blindfold… I am too young to die.

    Excitement was never far from the Zumerong household. Just when Linus and Edgar sighed inwardly in relief, believing they had put out the fire by dispelling Edith’s suspicion, fate seemed to curl its lips in quiet mockery.However, the interruption, rather, the intrusion upon their calm, comfortable atmosphere, came not from Darrius’s search, as one might have expected, but from five travel-weary figures who rushed in as though their tails were on fire, with two fully armoured soldiers close behind.“Where is the surprise?” Humphrey blurted agitatedly as he rushed in, looking around before his gaze fixed on Wilkin.Wilkin literally face palmed while Marvin couldn’t help himself, he ducked his head like an ostrich as he chuckled.Edith hooked her eyebrows as her eyes darted between her brother and husband, wondering who would cave first.“Haaiii…. Let’s talk inside.” Elias frowned as he turned his gaze towards Wilkin, his eyebrows raising subtly as if he to ask, ‘What the hell was that
