Louis walked towards his grandfather and asked "What happened ?.Why are you all looking like this ?." Louis's grandfather looked at him grimly, there is trace of sadness in his eyes.
He is thinking about how to tell Louis.
Louis's grandfather said "It's nothing kid. Go and play with your brothers and sisters. These are matters of adults that you need not to involve yourself. Understand." As he said he is looking into Louis's eyes and waiting for a response.Louis nodded and left the room.
"Why do you need to hide it from Louis ?. It's not like we can do anything about it ?. Just tell him that Henry may not return" said Louis's second uncle.Henry has three brothers where he is the eldest and strongest among them.
"Why do we need to tell him that, what if it's not true. We will be playing with a child's heart.We have to wait until the news is confirmed." said Louis's grandfather.
"That may be true but that doesn't change the fact that it came from that bastard Joe and the uncle.
Knowing them they would only send a message like this when they either kept Henry in place we cannot reach to or killed Henry. Don't you think ?.
I think it is better to tell Louis about this beforehand." said Louis's first uncle.
"I know what you are saying but the thing is how will Louis receive it because unlike us who are grown ups, he is still a child.
He is raised by Henry for ten years and you know about his mother right, you should understand how heartbroken she will be when she hears this." said Louis's grandfather
"So what you plan to do ? You must have thought of something, right? said Louis's first uncle as he looked expectantly towards Louis's grandfather.
" It's simple, we just have to send the children to a safe place since its we against my brother and your cousin Joe. We have to deal with it ourselves. Understand."said Louis's grandfather
"Understood, father we will send to their mother's side of the family. That way, there won't be any troubles. No matter how strongest Joe is. They wil not mess with other noble and military families just to get revenge." said Louis's first uncle
