#32-The Symbol

Axel Anderson had just returned to Alasdair's mansion when he noticed a commotion throughout the mansion.

The man frowned and he had a bad feeling about this. Axel had just finished carrying out the tasks given by Duke Alasdair so he had not been in this mansion since this morning. He stopped Shery who had just passed him and was shocked when he saw the woman crying.

"Shery, why are you crying?" Axel asked in a panicked and worried tone. "Did something happen in the mansion while I was away?"

Shery wiped the tears from her face and looked at Axel with a scared look. Her tiny body was shaking violently and Axel took Shery away to a corner of the corridor so they wouldn't disturb the other servants who wanted to do their work.
