Before nightfall, Rodion and Viktor were already back at the manor.
Upon arriving at the gate, the siblings saw their parents at the quaint table of their mother's front garden, enjoying tea and each other's company.
Why are they here outside? Isn't father supposed to be in his office and working…
Rodion glanced at Mikhail for help, but the Knight merely glanced at him before he turned around, left the two, and brought the horses with him.
Rodion glanced down at Viktor and smiled as he held his hand, "Well, father is present so…"
The two walked towards their parents. Upon seeing them, Andrei grinned at them.
"Well, look who has arrived."
Anastasia turned and glanced in their direction. Viktor avoided their mother's eyes and ran towards their father.
"Father! We're home!"
"Looks like you have enjoyed your day on the farm," Andrei said as he pulled Viktor up and sat him on his lap.
