Chapter 28 - THE FOLLOWING DAY

Has anyone seen my father he wasn't in his room this morning. I'm trying to find him I need to speak with him it's urgent. Percy asked one of the maids that where passing down the hall. She shocked her head and responded" No I have not my Lord", then bowed as a response to her answer then walked away after excusing herself in the process. Only disappointing him further, where could he possibly be he thought to himself. Sending him in a sort of panic mode as he began to worry more. His father was old by now and it only made him fear the worst. Could his father have fallen injuring himself or even worse did he pass away to the afterlife. No it is to soon he should have many years left, he has to watch his grandchildren grow old. All of these scary scenarios ran through his mind, so he tried to recall exactly as to where he last seen him. Oh right it was in the library he walked fast towards it. Forcing the doors open afraid to see what was behind that door.

As the heavy door creaked slightly to him forcing them open. He came upon the unimaginable. His father was lying on the floor with his drink spilled all over the floor in front of him. It sent panic to him thinking he was dead. He hadn't even realized that he was screaming for help out loud. All that went through his mind was that his father was dead.

As some knights near by heard the master scream for help they ran towards his voice. As well as some maids when they reached the door and saw the scene they ran to retrieve a doctor to help the man on the floor. The doctor and a fellow maid raced back to the room to see what exactly was going on. With all the commotion throughout the mansion the children had over heard some maids as they passed by their rooms in a rush.

"We need to hurry to the main mansion" the first maid told the other maid with a look of concern written all over it.

"No what is going on the main maid called for us to go and to hurry" the second maid responded.

"Well apparently Lord Wolf was found collapsed on the floor in the main library by lord Percy himself they don't know of his condition as of yet, but apparently they need all personal that specialize in medicine to make their way to his room to assist the mages and doctors. The first maid responded as they both moved faster towards their destination.

REYNA'S BEDROOM

"Did you hear that brother, Grandpa is sick we need to make our way to his room right now to see if he is okay". Reyna said as tears started to form in her small eyes.

Fort jumped off her bed walking towards his little sister as he embraced her in his arms trying to comfort her. "Grandpa will be okay he still needs to finish telling us the story lets go get Rhett, so that he can come with us to visit Grandpa". The two children left with Fort holding Reyna's hand as he lead the way to Rhett's room on the other side of the mansion.

RHETT'S BEDROOM

Fort barged in his bedroom, giving Rhett a scare as he slightly jumped as his servant was assisting him to get dressed. A slight scream came out his mouth as he covered his bare child chest. Reyna closed her eyes once she noticed what was going on. Fort was unbothered as they were brothers and both boys. He began by telling him what had happened to their grandfather and how they should visit him. Rhett agreed and once he was dressed the three kids walked towards their grandfather room with Reyna still silently weeping in the background as the boys lead the way. Rhett stopped as Fort kept walking and in the moment Reyna unaware that he had stopped she kept walking with her head down and bumped into Rhett hitting him on his back as he was a bit taller than her. She looked up seeing who she had hit and in that moment he turned looking down at her with gentle eyes and raised his small hand to wipe her tears from her cheeks and gave her a gentle hug and he told her that everything will be alright. They soon walked fast to catch up with Fort, Reyna grabbed onto her older brother hand and they all stood there outside his room. Fearing the worst to come then Reyna grabbed her other brother hand and the three stood there unable to move as time seemed to stop in that moment.

"Well are you guys going to go inside or not" a deep voice echoed in the hall as a man stood behind them.
