'Knock', 'Knock' a noise came from outside.
"Young Lord a letter has arrived for you." A 40-45 years old gentleman was standing outside of the door with a letter on a tray.
He was rather tall and had light brown hair; he wore a black suit and a pair of white gloves.
"Yes Marcus, come in." Spoke the young lord while burying himself in a pile of paperwork. Bright blonde hair and shining purple eyes the young boy looked quite charming but the only thing that does not suit him was his tried expression and those dark circle under his eyes.
Marcus entered and walked towards the huge table in the middle of the office; then he placed the tray on the table. "Seems like Lord has send the news of his return."
As the only son of Count Harvey De Calchanio Nishi has to take care of Calchanio estate as well as all the argent matters regarding business in his father's absence. Hearing Marcus's words Nishi's eyes glowed with excitement as he opened the letter.
As soon as he started reading his expression changed; his face got paler and paler as he kept reading. "Is it some sort of joke or did you mixed up the letters? Marcus! Tell me what is the meaning of this?" Nishi got up from his chair as his face changed from socked to anger. Nishi threw the letter at Marcus. Clenching his fist Nishi shouted, "Explain this nonsense! How in the world does the strongest man in the Empire die from shipwreck?"
Nishi could not believe what he just read or it is more accurate to say that he did not want to believe it. He never had a mother; the only family had, was his father. Nishi could not bear the thought of losing him.
"Marcus hurry take out my coat."
"Yes Sir"
Nishi Hurried to his horse stable and took out his horse. Only wearing a coat over his night attire Nishi rode his horse as fast as possible to the port without stopping.

"Ho ho! Nishi what brings you here this early in the morning dressed like this?" An elderly gentleman asked.
He was one of Nishi's father's retired employee who used to oversee the foreign import and export goods.
"Mr. Jefferson I just got a letter about my father; have you heard anything?" Nishi anxiously asked. His eyes were filled with uncertainty and anxiety.
"I haven't heard anything about the count yet. Sit down for a moment and calm down I will look into it and get back to you in a moment."
In an office near the ocean Nishi sat on a couch while waiting for Mr. Jefferson. It felt like eternity as Nishi waited for Mr. Jefferson. As every second passed Nishi's heart got more and more wary.
