Reggie found his brothers out in the dusty courtyard, looking up at his approach with questions in their eyes.
"It's time for us to go," Reggie stated, his tone resolute and brisk. "There's nothing more for us here."
Without another word, the three headed out of the manor. On their way out, they walked into Damien.
"Thank you for taking care of Rose. I'm afraid we must take our leave now...but we'll be sure to come visit from time to time" Reggie concluded.
"Sure, that's not a problem. You're always welcome to visit your lord". Damien remarked with a wry smile.
The trio began the journey back to the safehouse at a slower pace than they came. They left Damien and the looming peak of Brimstone Ridge behind without a backwards glance.
As he watched their dwindling forms through the cracked window, Damien's lips curved into a cruel smile. "You'll never be able to set your eyes on Rose or the child," he murmured with twisted satisfaction.
