Mikhail headed home straight. Upon entering the gate, he immediately saw Anastasia, donned a large hat, picking up flowers in her front garden with little Vitya. He approached them to give his respect and greetings.
"Mishka!" Viktor cried in delight. He held a Sunflower and Peonies in his small hand while his other hand pressed his Panama hat on his head and ran towards Mikhail.
"Have you seen Rodya? Did he go back to the farm already?" Viktor asked, his voice a little worried that his brother might have gone to the farm.
Anna had gone back to the Royal Academy for summer class. Viktor felt alone in the house but was delighted when his brother Rodion visited and stayed the night in the manor. However, he was nowhere to be found when he woke up this morning.
"Don't worry Young Master, he'll be back later tonight," Mikhail assured the kid and softly smiled.
