"Who is this new baron or your hair anyway? Didn't you say that your child and your wife had died?" I looked back at the frozen baron who looked like he had suffered a great shock. His face had turned white and his body was rigid.
"That.. that is the son of my cousin's brother. He was the only distant relative that was strong and wise enough to be the next baron. So, I was preparing him for handling the affairs of the estate. I wanted to pass him the title and retiree after a few years!" he replied with remorse filled voice and i shook my head as i remembered the slave i had once chosen to be my future husband and the heir of my dukedom.
"I can not blame you. I had trusted a wrong person and lost many innocent lives once. Come let's find this new baron and make the dues clear."
A bitter smile formed on his face as he nodded yet he was looking like a soul who had given up on living in just a few moments.
