Jude and the other guards that followed after Lyrand and Aaron along with his father stepped forward. This was their young masters birthday and people actually dared to budge in!!!!
The old man's beard was billowing with the wind but when he saw the men in suits that had come forward, he was delighted since he was familiar with some of them, not the close familiarity but this managed to confirm that indeed those big shots were here in the flesh!!!
The others outside in the hallway were also excited upon seeing those men, though they restrained their joy and acted dignified, that was out of the picture as they squeezed against one another just to get on the front line.
Maria naturally was behind and upon seeing her, Neal, Jude and the other guards have way, she walked through the small path that was created for her.
What's going on here?" She asked coldly. This was her children's big day.
