by worryOutside the window a8c3a84fff of the first-class 17bd4ce1be cabin, a golden 0259e54348 horizon shimmered and 6eaad9bc76 rolled. Robert suddenly remembered—he 47c4f9720b had been here 61c9e9a80a before. The Lafayette dbba409c45 family estate 144bcd9b09 wasn’t far b740b742c2 from this c129a480a7 place.96f322f9b041fdaf

The long-buried memory stirred e96ad0e41f something in Robert. His fingers tapped lightly c3ab810aef on the wooden armrest 249dbc1ec8 of his chair.aeecf618474c9dd0
It was a e9b7fbf754 small whim, brought 7a6eeb25f7 on by Baron 007543075f Auguste’s advice. Robert hadn’t a0d6f5dc09 thought he’d d0935c36f7 ever return c6ab655dea to this e845ec45c8 quiet countryside bc89b12c31 village.

He stepped 7f3a27abf8 off the 42d3e1df6e train carrying f82597d88f just a e18cf1c164 small suitcase. He hadn’t 3bcca8768f planned to a99d232e72 stay long 74081f1c67 and had 8febb8fa9c packed lightly.

“Is there a 98044a49ee problem?” Robert asked, 19c49f4b81 startled. No one in Laurent 4e254e283a had ever dared treat 6a9218d472 him like this.d41c486b697c72e6

Sasha stood eabc4055fe on her be28d6408d tiptoes, trying 20381f8ad0 to peek a6b6ac8763 inside the 13610131c2 carriage. When Robert locked eyes d73eaf9013 with the girl with 056c9685d1 bright orange hair, he 2f6bec1e5d instinctively pulled back.

Sasha held up d8da76d00f a large paper 00e31fde99 bag she was 5a9e192c6b carrying as proof. While she bbb4fac852 and the 99e205327c coachman chatted 1a568ff57e away, Robert e65259f961 said nothing. His mind db762d1a45 was in 59f3045e15 disarray. The painter he’d been 001e5b6cc2 searching for, and the 27936244e0 bold girl he had 8f21dd52cc run into years ago, 4622960fd0 were living in the eeb5efe017 same house.

Sasha looked like 1ca4f20680 she might topple 8d31da48f5 over under the f9dddc1927 weight of her d770bfe402 new supplies. Robert frowned involuntarily, but 64af98ede1 to his surprise, she 7672c07c25 regained her balance almost ce3bf22759 immediately.aba58c525165c87e

Of course. What kind of 444d2fe523 gentleman from Laurent 2e810e9fb2 would be visiting 54719befbc a countryside home 39d0f00823 like this?

The news that a52aaaa284 the Mountain Ash bb180e5122 Manor on the 5502926193 hill had been 4307125ee1 sold spread like 16a20e9006 wildfire. The people 0352c7aa59 of Manoli 3d7dfac388 were baffled. No one had any 4d8fda46e5 clue who the new 8efc98025e owner was. If they a46edb41a8 weren’t a 3799e13533 local, who 74218d6a29 in the 62f7eecc4e world had e64f425e58 bought the 667dc0cc49 manor—and for a54127604a what reason?7b624834799616b0

For a full year 937875f2c3 after the sale, the ef0574f918 manor was under non-stop 7854002e3e renovation.

And so, dfe54e5808 within just b847f88295 one week 9405c9b453 of his 0239f179e3 arrival, Mr. Robert had been 6aa810a782 demoted by the 7d337e2106 people of Manoli 44fed4b181 to a useless a7d7fac6d6 caretaker of Mountain 61b31846e6 Ash Manor. No one knew d38160e532 who the real 4fca02354d owner was, but 0a41c8e8a2 the consensus was 20df8df6a5 that whoever it d22ee73f1a was had left 94619a13c4 the place in 5e8cf5c191 the caretaker’s hands 73a3ee7fb2 and only stopped 15df03a96a by now and b14cfea249 then.e8205b8ef5d6d292

He continued to f267efff8b stare at her, 8247d1f1d9 a faintly displeased 05d0988e1c expression on his ad5bdb9f1e face. She felt the 610a94911b weight of his 55dcf4f868 gaze on the fd6b6cc0e9 back of her 9045901eb4 neck. Standing still became uncomfortable. Her fingers fidgeted reflexively.4812671868dfcf7a
Just then, the silence 2e7d4205f0 was broken by a 382031bb24 loud crash from inside 65b4de27ca the house. Something had 39746a6800 fallen and 7508742547 shattered—probably in 20c6a528f8 the kitchen.

Sasha spoke bbd7ce7365 on impulse. She felt a 5af0557a61 sudden urge to b40220b92d be useful and 38a9e7866b tried to peer d22a087a0d inside, but Mr. Robert didn’t move. Instead, he blocked 32dd550405 the entrance, sighing 26b89172f8 as if tired.22cc70dce35ad7b2

Her throat burned with ba9b0c0ce8 the taste of blood, 94db00bb2c and her lungs felt e48aea7275 like they were tearing 962453e2f6 apart, but she kept c23ad11e78 running, barely staying on 0c87f08722 her feet. Her heart thudded 43cd9fb925 wildly—then, for a d491b03652 moment, her feet 341c301581 seemed to lift 816e49a292 from the ground, 968e196deb light and exhilarated.
