Chapter 2 - Duke Wessex

"Leona, do you admit to your sins?!" roared Duke Wessex. He was a tall, broad-shouldered, middle-aged man with a bushy, brown beard and corresponding dark brown eyes.

Leona sobbed. "Yes, father." Beside them sat Wu Fa in a wheelchair. The duke turned to Wu Fa with doting eyes.

"John, it must have been hard on you, my dear. Even though you don't remember anything, I'm sure a little resting will do," said the duke in a gentle voice. Wu Fa's hair pricked up at the sickening sight of a grizzled man saying such disgusting words. Suddenly, the door to the hall flew open and a handsome knight in his twenties barged in.

"Father! Leona! What has happened? I heard from our butler, Mr. Molohon, that John has lost all his memories! Is this true?" exclaimed the knight. He was even taller than the duke, with an extremely handsome face that ladies would swoon over. He had the clear blue eyes and blonde hair of John, but a much better figure.

"Henry! It's true! Your sister fed your brother some medicine in hopes of healing his legs, but not only was the medicine ineffective, but now John has lost all his memories!" roared the duke.

"Ah! Leona! How could you?!" yelled Henry. He then turned to Wu Fa and said, "Dear brother, have you forgotten me? Ah! How terrible!" Wu Fa shuddered. Was everyone from the Wessex family so weird to John?

"Um, hey father, I'm not feeling well, so I think I will go back to my room to rest," said Wu Fa.

"Ah! John! Of course," said the duke. "Sharon, push John back into his room." The maid obediently took hold of John's wheelchair.

"Ah, father, I have a request," said Wu Fa. "I've lost my memories, so could you send lots of books into my room? Anything about our country or continent or common knowledge, because I seem to have forgotten everything except our language."

"Of course dear," said the duke. Then he turned to Leona, "Look what you have done!" Leona sobbed a little. Sharon pushed Wu Fa back into his room. Shortly after, Mr. Molohon, the butler, delivered a cartload of books on various topics. Wu Fa randomly opened a book and realized that he could not read.

"Aiyee, why?!?!?! For some reason I can speak the language, but I can't read? What kind of a joke is this?" groaned Wu Fa. Sighing he called for Sharon and sheepishly asked for education on the alphabet.
