"Young Marques, you know none of us has the whole day to wait, so please tell me your decision fast," Irene said as she placed her hands on his shoulders and smiled at him.
.
"I---I---will take this as a child play--and I will make sure to not let anything that happens here to reach others ears." He said while gulping as he felt the strong and manipulating aura given by Irene.
.
"Good choice, then please make sure to send an apology letter to our mansion too...or do you want us to Apologise?" Irene asked as she put pressure on his shoulders.
"I will send it!" He said as he removed her hands and stood 2 meters away from her.
.
"Great and about these men of yours?"
"I will make them shut their mouth!"
"Good, then Young Marques we shall take our leave and....make sure not to come across Ashton or our family ever again, if not for Teacher you wouldn't have walked out of here in two legs," Irene said as she looked at him once and turned around to carry Ash on her shoulders as they finally moved out of the forest.
.
The walk from the forest to the mansion was just 2 minutes away but with the silence in the air, those 2 minutes felt more like 2 decades to each one of them.
.
"..Sister, you don't need to carry me all way to the Mansion, if father sees this he would be worried," Ash said as he looked at Irene face which was hidden from her hair that slides towards her side face.
.
"You should have thought about it before, now it's too late," Sam whispered as she pointed towards the mansion gate where Raymond was already standing with the troops ready for action.
.
"Looks like sister already informed them about the situation no wonder she was all calm there." Ash thought as Irene put him down.
.
"My Lady! Thank God you are safe, you don't know how worried we were." Hana said as she checked Irene from head to toe.
"Lady Winter is fine....actually the one who needs care is him," Sam said as she pointed at Ashton.
.
"Young Master? What's wrong with you? Why do you look like this?" Hana asked as she walked towards him and dusted off his clothes and checked his wounds.
.
"Irene, Ashton what's going on here?" Raymond who was confused and worried asked as he looked at them.
"Father, before talking about what happened, we should head inside first and treat his wounds and injuries," Irene said as she bowed before him.
.
"Lady is right, the dust might infect the wounds. Lord let's head inside first, and Miss Hana please call for the physician quickly." Butler Bil said as he panicked more than anyone out there.
.
"I will do it right away," Hana said as she ran inside the mansion (A/N: They usually use letters to call or talk to anyone but in emergencies, they use magic scroll particularly while looking for doctors.)
.
After that everyone went inside, till the physician arrived Ash cleaned off the dust on him and changed into a fresh set of clothes.
Irene too changed her clothes as they were all sweaty and sticky.
.
"Lady Winter, may I come in?" Sam knocked at the door with a little timid voice.
"Yes."
.
"Lady Winter, we're you having a rest?"
"No, I was just about to go out, but may I know why Lady Maxim was looking for me?"
.
"It's just that I want to ask Lady Winter something about today's incident," Sam said as she played with her fingers.
"...Today Incident...What is it? Please ask freely." Irene said as she turned around to face the mirror while combing her hair.
.
"It's just that...Since Lady winter made that Robin pretend everything that happened today as child play then would you do the same here too? I am not against it! It's just that I would need some time to make up a story in my mind." Sam said as she smiled awkwardly.
.
"I wouldn't hide it."
"I know...What? Lady winter would you tell Lord winter everything?" Sam said as her eyes enlarged with a shocked expression on her face.
.
"Yeah" Irene said casually but looking at the strongly confused face of Sam she tired to explain her self better.
"Lady Maxim, you are wondering about why I made Young Marques hide everything whereas I am spilling the beans myself aren't you?"
.
"Yes, I really don't understand...because what happened there was nothing normal...futhermore it might affect Ashton every much. So why?" Sam who was worried about Ashton asked as she raised her eyebrows.
.
"Because, what I did in the forest was to protect him and What I am going to do is to teach him. And both of them are very different.
.
I believe Young Marques deserved to be hit but I also belive that Ashton had no right to hit him so merriclessly especially the knights around him, furthermore he even lost his calm and gave himself up with the anger, so this is necessary.
And I hope Lady Maxim would say the truth too." Irene said as she placed her hands on the shoulder as she smiled at her with a *trust me* look on her face.
.
"...I don't understand it clearly but...I have fauht in Lady Winter, I know just like Ash always says 'my sister would never be wrong especially when it comes to me.'.." Sam said as she smiled at her.
.
"Lets go." Irene said as both of them left the room.
And as they reached the hall, a faint smell of medicine could be smelt in the air.
.
"The wounds aren't deep and will heal around next week but make sure not to put strain on your left leg or else the swollen area would get worse." The physician said while packing his bag and getting ready to leave.
"Thank you" Ash said as he bowed towards him.
.
"Its my duty to cure others but...Young Lord Winter your case is different and you know it too. So, please restrain yourself from doing anything that harmful for your body and health." The physician who is well aware of Ash body condition since he is the family doctor said as he patted his head and took his leave shortly.
.
"Condition? What condition are they talking about? And why is everyone so serious after hearing the physician comment." Sam thought as she looked at everyone's expression including Ash who was clenching the corner of the sears tightly.
.
"Whatever it is...looking at Ashton it feels to be a pretty serious...."
.
"You heard what the physician said right? And you are also well aware if your body so why, tell me how did you end up in this condition?" Raymond asked as he signalled all the servants including the butler to leave the room.
.
Ash didn't dare to utter a word and just sat there motionless looking at the glass of water he was given to drink.
"Ash are you going to speak or not?" Raymond asked again as he massaged his forhead.
.
"Father! I will tell you about today's incident." Irene said as she raised her hands and with other hand she pulled Sam with her.
"Lady Winter, Why are you suddenly pulling me?" Sam said ad she looked at Irene who didn't seem to be stop no matter what.
.
"Guess~"
"I can't guess anything so please tell me."
"It's actually very simple I just want you to help me out."
"Help you out?" Sam asked while looking at Irene who took unstoppable steps towards Raymond.
.
"Sister...." Ash said as he looked at Irene.
"Irene, you have a very good timing! Since he isn't going to talk then atleast you tell me, what happened in the forest." Raymond said as he stood form the seat.
.
"Father, I will tell you what happened at the forest but please promise me one thing...." Irene said as she let go of Sam hand.
"Just say it."
"Then Father promise me that after hearing what I am going to say, you won't loose your temper." Irene said as she looked at him with confidence.
.
"Okay...I promise not to loose my temper no matter what you say next." Raymond said as he looked at Ash. His father instinct already smelt the upcoming blast he was going to hear about.
"Then, I will tell you about today's incident...." Irene said and stated to explain everything from the beginning till the end.
.
"So much happened and the situation was so tough yet you knowingly ran out towards the forest without any help....I really don't know what to do with you." Raymond said while looking at Irene, to which Irene just looked at the ground.
.
"And about you Ash...*sigh* I really don't get what's wrong with you? I understand that you want to prove yourself so, under your sister request I and Freya let you learn swordsmanship, we never put any restrictions on you.. So, why are you still being so rebellious to the extent that you are unable to distinguish between right and wrong!" Raymond for the first time scolded both of them and the atmosphere went from worried to tense.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
