The Duke Of Caspin

3 days later...

Amara and Luke decided to take a short walk. While talking about their future plans, they encountered Baxter. Waving at each other, Baxter went to Luke and asked "Luke who's this young lady?" Luke replied "This is Amara, my fiancé." Baxter was surprised. He then said "Hello Amara, my friend here Luke is always so mean. How did you get attracted to him?"

Luke pushed Baxter and said "Hey, don't get too close to my fiancé. I'm only mean to you not Amara." Baxter shouted " Luke, you're so mean!"

After Amara and Baxter's quick introduction, the three of them went to a near by restaurant to eat lunch. While eating, Baxter asked Luke and Amara how they met. Luke explained "Me and Amara met when we were ten years old. She's my childhood friend, but as years passed by we started developing feelings for each other." Luke then looked at Amara and they stared at each other with a smile. Baxter exclaimed "Ohh wow! Luke you're so lucky!"

As they continued eating, Auden and a group of soldiers went in the cafe to inform Luke. He said "General, we need to go to the castle. The king requested for you." Luke replied "Okay! Got it Auden." Luke said goodbye to Amara and told Baxter to bring Amara back home. Baxter nodded then left with Amara.

When Luke arrived at the royal hall, he greeted the king. After all the subordinates assembled, one of the noblemen said that a special envoy will go to the kingdom. The king said "Speak, who's the special envoy?" The noblemen replied "My king, he is your brother-in-law, Duke Arthur of Caspin. The king smiled and said "My brother-in-law is coming! That's great news!" He called Luke and said "General, please entertain this guest for me. I have something important to do." Luke replied "Of course your majesty, I'll gladly entertain the guest."

While preparing for the arrival of the Duke, Luke asked Auden to help him entertain the guest.

When Duke Arthur arrived, he saw Auden. The Duke said "Auden I've heard you've improved a lot. You even became the General's assistant." Auden replied "Thank you sir. I'll escort you to the living room."

When they got to the living room, Auden saw Luke. He signaled Luke that he needed to go. After that, Auden told the Duke that someone else would be entertaining him and then he left. Luke approached the Duke and said "It's a pleasure to meet you Duke Arthur. I'm Luke." The Duke said "It's nice to meet you Luke. I never knew that the renowned God of War would look so young and good looking." Luke smiled and responded "Your being too polite sir. Would you like to take a seat?" Duke Arthur replied "Yes. Thank you."

As they sat down, the Duke said " You know young boy, I think that if my son was still alive, he would be around the same age as you." Luke replied "Oh is that so? Your son must be just like you." The Duke said " Yes, I think so too. He would also have the same eyes as both of us." Luke then responded "Sir, Our eyes kinda look alike. I know this is blunt but can I ask, what happened to your son?"

The Duke answered "Twenty four years ago, when my wife was nine months pregnant, she went to Asterin because she wanted to visit her family before giving birth. But when she was on her way to the castle she.. her carriage was attacked by bandits. Ever since her carriage was attacked, My wife duchess Andrea and my unborn son was nowhere to be found." Luke comforted the Duke and said "I'm sorry for letting you remember those painful memories again."
