Chapter 108: Returning Home Part Two
Chapter 108: Returning Home Part Two
I took a step through the gate as everyone followed behind me. The path to the main entrance of the Lancaster estate was not as long as the Ronstine estate, which was normal since we were barons after all. The Lancasters could not afford as much land as the Ronstines. So our trip only took a few minutes before I was standing in front of two more guards.
"Who are you!?" One of the guards asked. This one did not draw his sword.
"Oh? You don't even recognize the young miss of the Lancaster house? I guess that is to be expected. Seeing how my own father doesn't even know my name, what I look like, how old I am, or that he had a daughter at all for that matter. But he still has the balls to sell me off even when he had no idea who I was. I could have been a princess who was just staying at the manor temporarily and he would have still sold me off. Not that it matters since I now am treated properly. Anyway, I suggest you move out of the way or you will get hurt." I said which confused the two guards. They looked at each other and seemed to not know what they should do.
Finally, the other guard asked. "Are you the cause of the loud bang earlier?"
"Mhm! I kicked the front gate down. If you do not wish to end up like that gate, I would suggest you move." I said menacingly as I took a step forward towards them. The two guards gulped and took a step back before looking at each other and slowly stepping aside. To me these guys were smart. They knew when to back down.
But who would have thought I would have a big surprise as I pushed open the front doors. A person who I recognized and one who should have been banished from the estate was standing there in the middle of the main hall staring back at me in shock. Her lips slowly curled up into a cruel smile as she said: "Oh if it isn't the little bitch who was sold off. "
I instantly grabbed Able's hand, who was about to draw his sword. I knew how protective he was of me but him bloodying his hands over someone like this was not worth it. "Don't..." I looked over at him and smiled. Able reluctantly nodded his head, so I turned back to look at the old woman. It was none other than the nanny Kyle had sent away, Grace Fortlon. I have no idea how she got back into the house but my guess it has something to do with Reed.
"Nothing to say? Figures as much from a wench who was sold off. I bet you are wondering how I am back, right? Well, Master Reed was kind enough to bring me back and even punished your bastard brother. I bet he is now wishing he nev Urk!" I couldn't stand it anymore and rushed forward and grabbed the old woman by her throat. It seemed my violent side was coming out. For all it was worth, even though he neglected to check in on me, when Kyle found out I was mistreated he was trying to turn things around. He was not a bad kid, just slow on the uptake.
"If you want your life, where is he?" I asked as I slowly began to squeeze her neck. The nanny's eyes went wide and began struggling to get away but no matter what she did she could not get free, so she could only concede with pleading eyes.
Seeing this, I released my grip and she fell to the floor. After coughing and catching her breath she finally said: "He is in the basement!"
"Sid, go save my stupid brother. Claire, tie this old woman up and stuff her in a sack. We will take her with us." Sid and Claire gave me their confirmation before going to do the tasks I had given them. We did not go upstairs yet to see the baron. I waited for Kyle to be rescued first. I did not go myself since someone had to wait at the entrance in case the baron tried to leave. Ten minutes later Kyle who had whip marks and bruises all over his body was helped into the main hall by Sid. He looked a mess and just as skinny as I did before leaving the house.
Seeing him in such a state made me feel bad since this was partially my fault. I walked over to him and cast a healing spell on him, making his wounds disappear. "Kyle..."
"Rei!? Why did you come? If Reed sees you, he will kill you!" Kyle exclaimed. He was actually more worried about me than himself...
I couldn't help but smile faintly as I patted him on the head. "It's fine. As of today, the Lancaster house will be given to you. The old bastard upstairs is no longer fit to be a baron. As for Reed, you do not need to worry about him."
Kyle looked at me confused but I smiled and motioned for Sid to help him up. "Take Kyle to his room and get him a bath and some clean clothes. If anyone tries to stop you just knock them out. If need be just kill them." I had no feelings for the people in this house, to me, they were no different from those kidnappers. They were all corrupted and did as they pleased.
"Rei!?" Kyle looked at me, his eyes looking for answers but I only smiled at him and said: "Kyle trust me, you will no longer be treated like this again and I hope you can make the name Lancaster one that is not looked down on as a scummy noble who does whatever they please because of their status."
