Jason was riding his horse, sped up to get back to Riva. He wasn't ready to go to the Greenwood mansion and meet lady Lisa and Barbara. What he experienced in the south was tougher than what he could endure. Since the day that Lord James asked him to go back home, he stormed without stop.
Getting inside, he waited for his father.
Charles stopped the carriage in the yard, only the crickets were singing and making noises. But he saw a horse in the yard and the light that was coming out of the cottage.
"Son," the butler's heart was pounding for his brave son that could survive the war. He had heard that the battle brought many fatalities and used to pray that his son's name wasn't among the lists that used to come by the birds. Nevertheless, it was sad to see many young men lose their lives.
