Charles also stood up for going back home. After a few minutes Charles reached the front door of the manor, where stood a man dressed like a butler.
Herbi: So you're home master Charles? Mr. Vers has given me the strict instructions to tell you that you are no longer welcome in the Vers' mansion. So I would have to stop you from entering. A carriage has been prepared for you, all your belongings have already been put in the carriage so it would be in your best interest to leave the Vers' property at once!
Herbi was the loyal butler at the Vers' mansion serving directly under the family head. He was a tall man with a vivid personality and a vague face, in his forties. He wore the traditional butler suit, with a gold pocket watch in its left pocket. He had Miss Bella, a maid always accompanying him. A scar on his right cheek and one on his left hand completed his portrait.
What Charles spoke next were the words spoken through his mouth but he had no control over what he was voicing out.
Charles; Herbi y..you can't do it! I need to speak t..to f..father! L..let me in!
Herbi; Sorry Charles but Mr. Vers has broken all with you. So it might be better if you are already seated in the carriage outside.
Charles; what about Tess? I can at least talk to her! Right?
Herbi; Young Mistress has gone to the Central city. Isn't it marvelous that she is gone so that we can throw the trash outside? ( a grin came to his face as he signaled the servants that the audience had come to an end.)
Two servants came from behind and grabbed Charles, holding onto each of the arms. They started to drag Charles outside toward the gate, while Charles made futile attempts to free himself.
Herbi; Stop!
The trio stopped as Herbi threw a box towards Charles. Freeing one hand, while the servant's attention was on Herbi, he grabbed the box.
Herbi; That's what that old hag left for you! Though it won't open, keep it as your mother's last belonging!
Charles made another attempt to free himself and punch Herbi's grinned face, all in vain, as now both of them held on tighter than before. Later he was dragged and thrown into the carriage. Some cash was given to the driver, with a note, Probably an address.
As the carriage started to move Charles finally gained control over his body back. He was startled at first, then realized something needed to be done, but with the information he had was close to zero.
Charles; What is the destination we need to reach?
Driver; 117/23, Willow Lands, Sector 6, Mesial Area, Grey's province.
Charles; (in his mind)like hell I know where that is!
For a few moments Charles thought of a possible way to help him overcome the situation. The address stated that the place was in the Grey family's province. He had no one in this world to lend a helping hand. Then suddenly he remembered what Charles, the previous owner of that body, told him to do.
"go and meet Duke Harris and say to him I was successful…."
Charles; yes, Duke Harris! I hope he will help. Hey driver! Take the carriage to Duke Harris's house.
Driver; b..but I have been told that I need not stop until we reach the place!
Charles; Just drive to Duke Harris's house, and I promise great reward shall be given to you.
Driver; ( a little overjoyed) yes as you say!
After twenty minutes of driving the carriage reached the Dukes' palace. It was much smaller than the Vers' family mansion but quite neatly made. One of the two gatekeepers went inside with the message of Charles' arrival. After a few moments the gatekeeper came running and bowed diligently, the other gatekeeper followed his footsteps and gave a bow. He then said that the Duke was waiting for him in the study.
Charles;( finally a place I get some respect!)
Then Charles moved inside the palace and an attendant bowed to him and asked to follow her. While following Charles noted the beauty of the palace. It was pretty much as in stories and movies. Soon they reached the study and the attendant signaled him to enter the room, then bowed and left.
Charles knocked at the door and waited for the response. A toneless voice came from inside. Charles entered. As the only person turned his gaze toward Charles A smile came over his face.
Harris; So finally someone had time after a month to show his face! I thought you would never come again after you told me your plans. Come now have a seat. Tea?
