Suddenly Nobles

New People in Clingeer

As Zachary had planned, they actually exchanged everything for simpler ones. Instead, it was the two-horse chariot that now transports them to the village known as Clingeer, a village that is quite influential to the supplier of quality food in Carringtown, the capital of Sasania.

From afar, they could see some people were busy lifting large sacks onto the carts. Others appear to be picking fruit in a spacious garden complete with a wide hat covering the head. Meanwhile not far from the garden, a small cottage also shaded the women with rolls of knitting yarn and hakpen in both their hands while chatting lightly interspersed with laughter.

Eve was so enthusiastic. From behind the train window, several times his blue bead looked to the right and to the left. His eyes widened when he found one of the figures he was looking for was walking carrying a bucket in his hand while occasionally wiping sweat. That's Aunt Sese!

"Auntie!"

Someone who walked on the edge turned. No less surprised, without warning he immediately ran towards the train. "Geev!"

"Stop the train" Zachary told the coachman. He turned his gaze back to his other three sons. "We better stop here. The rest, you have to walk."

Declan nodded. "I agree with that. Besides, your disguise is still untidy, Your Grace." He knocked on the wood from the carriage they were riding. "Despite our simple appearance, the market price of this wood is quite expensive. Making it into a train is like admitting we're rich."

"Oh, so it's still expensive?" parrot's father was confused, "sorry, but I'm not good at picking the wood that poor people use."

Hearing these words, Eve turned her head and snorted loudly before she actually opened the train door and plunged into the arms of Aunt Sese who had somehow released the bucket she had been carrying.

"I thought you didn't get a letter from me again" he said. Either way, Eve already considered her like her own daughter. "Is this you for real? I didn't expect to see you after these past few weeks."

Eve looked in annoyance, then pouted. "Auntie, behave the same as always. Don't use formal language or whatever it's called, I don't like it!"

"But you're a noble."

"If it's not here." Eve hugged Aunt Sese tightly back, like decades of not seeing each other. "I'm still your niece, Bi. Still am. So don't think of me as a stranger."

Sese's palm moved to gently stroke the blonde mane of her employer's daughter. His smile was etched, warm. Although her status changed, Eve's nature was not at all so.

"Mama's waiting at home," said Sese again, "let's aunt an—"

Sese's speech stopped when she realized Eve was not conscious. The four men who had just stepped out of the horse carriage made it aware that the conditions this time around might be even more difficult. No, much harder than he expected.

Body stiffens. I know one of the four men.

Eve pulls out Declan and Beckett's hands. "Let's go to my house. We have to hurry up and see Mama, okay?"

Seeing all his brothers go away, Ethan glared. "Eve, you didn't take me!"

"You're not important." Eve slid her tongue as she sauntered away with her two beloved sisters.

"Review you, short!" Ethan finally ran after the three of them even though his heart was so arrogant. "I threw it into the sea, just found out!"

"Your Grace...." Sese hurriedly lowered her head. Her hands moved uneasily, not knowing how Margaret would react when she found out her ex-husband had also come to visit.

Sese nodded slowly. He thought the duke had come here purely because he wanted to see Margaret who was seriously ill. It doesn't seem like it. All this he did was for Luvena, the youngest who had secretly managed to steal the paternal affection he should have gotten from the first time he breathed in this world.

Let it be, like this. After all, God's plan ahead of him no one knows, right?

"Take me to Eve's old house."

One looked obediently. "Let me deliver."

...----------------...

The door creaked as Eve pushed it slowly. The dark room was suddenly hit by sunlight as soon as they opened the door. The house was so quiet, as if there was no one inside. Without waiting for long, Eve ran to Margaret's room, which was located on the second floor, just across from her first room.

"Ma," she called out softly while knocking on the door. "It's Eve, I'm back."

Unfortunately, there is no answer from within. Shrouded with various bad thoughts flashing in his brain, Eve thoughtlessly opened the door and rushed in. Just like before, the room was always clean and tidy. The person he had been looking for was lying weakly on the cot, close to the furnace that was left unflagged. Although during the day, in fact the woman's eyes are closed tightly not visible will wake up in the next few days.

Declan was silent at the door. For some reason, his heart slipped as he watched the woman who gave birth to him, the person he had barely seen again in the past dozen years was lying helpless.

Declan was actually eager to get to him. Hugged her real mama after their long breakup which was even on the night where Margaret went that day, Declan had absolutely no idea what had happened and what Margaret had said the last time to her that was suddenly awakened.

"Whatever you're going to face in the future, please don't give up." Then Margaret gave her last kiss on little Declan's forehead. "If your mother is not by your side, we will always walk together. Mama believes destiny, and our destiny .. is to get back together."

But Declan was self-aware. Here, he was no more like a stranger.

"We'd better let Mama sleep a little more. He's still sick, he needs a lot of rest" Declan told Eve, who had been standing on the edge of the cot. "There's still plenty of time to worry about him. In addition, it is better not to look at the drugs we carry, whether it is complete or not. While Ethan and Beckett can come help or accompany the duke on a walk around here."

Eve looked lethargic then nodded. With a heavy heart he followed Declan who was already missing from the doorway. Once again, Eve looked at Margaret with an elusive expression before she completely shut the door and descended down, following the duke and his know-how-to-know brothers who had been mobbed by crowds.

"What's going on?" ask Eve in shock to Aunt Sese who was no less shaken.

"Village people greatly admire the figure of the duke and your brothers," Aunt Sese replied half-complaining. "Even the mistress of the famous whore in our village, Mrs. Rooney volunteered to work as His Grace's 'personal assistant."

Hearing such an explanation, Eve was of course inflamed. Enough with the true rival of his mother, Lady Britney, please do not add to the arrival of new women. Oh, goddamn. Can't be allowed!

"All of you, stop bothering them!" scream Eve frustrated.

But amazingly, after that it was quiet. All the eyes of the beautiful women were on Eve who was standing at the door.

Let's teach them a lesson one by one. No, let it all be at once!
