Chapter 8: Chapter (321): Greenwood

~ Riva

Jason was riding his horse, sped up to get back to Riva. He wasn't ready to go to the Greenwood mansion and meet lady Lisa and Barbara. What he experienced in the south was tougher than what he could endure. Since the day that Lord James asked him to go back home, he stormed without stop. 

Getting inside, he waited for his father. 

Charles stopped the carriage in the yard, only the crickets were singing and making noises. But he saw a horse in the yard and the light that was coming out of the cottage.

"Son," the butler's heart was pounding for his brave son that could survive the war. He had heard that the battle brought many fatalities and used to pray that his son's name wasn't among the lists that used to come by the birds. Nevertheless, it was sad to see many young men lose their lives.

He ran to the cottage and roamed inside, the door slammed back. Jason rushed to his father's arms. Now he could feel how much he had missed him and his heart was exploding.

Charles was a tough man who barely anything could make him cry but this time his heart was filled with agony.

"Do you have any news of the girls?"

It was the question he asked when he released his son. When he was here, it meant the Lord had sent him.

Jason rolled his head down, "there are many things that all of you must know. But I am not sure if I can tell you all of it."

He grabbed his son's arms and shook him, "keep your head up, don't let anything lower your head. Elizabeth had sent us a letter but didn't speak too much only informed us that she was in Bolingtone and they are fine."

With that short message yet he could not sleep in peace. They were in the court of Bolingtone that had no jokes with those they didn't like.

"Father, I think we should talk in front of others, I am not able to repeat it many times when I couldn't handle it enough on my own."

Charles nodded, and somehow, his mind was just steering over Ryan, was he fine?

The butler took Jason's horse to the stall and poured water and fresh clover for it. He used to come here almost every day to watch over the stuff. 

Getting beside his father on the carriage seat, he looked around. He had missed Riva's fresh air, the scent of blossoms and Roses filled the air and the moonlight made Riva fantasy but here hadn't the joy it had before. There was no sound of laughter, Elizabeth's naughty tricks that used to put them all in trouble, none was there. Even the punishment afterward was fun with them, especially when Ryan and Ell were arguing, challenging each other with swords and arrows.

He sighed, those days wouldn't return, now he could understand why Lord James hated to let his family separate from each other.

"Riva is quiet!" He uttered and caught his father's awareness.

"Lucas is missing his parents. Can you imagine that at such a young age he grew up fast, he has been trying to keep his promise to Lady Luna?"

"Is he drawing?"

"Yes, he wants to draw himself with his sisters. Despite the short time they spent together, their hearts were too close."

"How is my Barbara?"

"She's fine and has been taking care of Lady Lisa. I hoped that Lord James could arrive when she gives birth to their son."

"A Son?" Jason gulped. How could he tell Lisa about Ryan, the boy she raised now was in another world that had no difference from death.

"Yes, hopefully, still life is running in that house."

"Father, Lord James might not be able to arrive on time but I wish Elizabeth comes."

"She will come, at least it was what she informed us. Son, could you drive the imps back?"

"We did our best to kill them all in Alovena, but as we found out there were cultivations, we must pray that the men Lord James sent to find cultivators do their job and find them."

Charles could not comment on what he just listened to, to how everything terribly grew suddenly and rooted all around.

"Were the magicians alone?"

Jason shrugged, everything was unclear, and they were warned not to spread rumors when they hadn't enough certainty to speak about.

"We don't know father but they attacked us near the gates."

He swallowed as he recalled the scene that Ryan and Prince Wilmore dropped into the chasm, that time he yelled Ryan's name and the Lord turned back to him. For a moment, he gave up on life and if it wasn't for butcher McCain, he was eaten by an imp.

"Father, the high magicians of the table appeared and closed the gates forever. Now, only they can open it or at least have the key to open it."

Charles sped up his pace, his heart was beating the same. His son barely could inhale to speak, he was exhausted, surely starving. They should prepare him to feel comfort then question him for what he witnessed.

Getting to Greenwood mansion, Jason recalled the day they left here. That day he was excited to hit the road and be beside Ryan but when prince Wilmore punched him, the butcher and his son stopped Jason not to impede.

The gardener, Jacksonville, came out of his small hovel near the garden as he saw the railing gates groan and the guards greeted Jason. All of them were curious but none annoyed him, they would realize everything at the end.

Lisa and Barbara came out and stepped down the stairs. Jason felt good when he saw them healthy, behind them were Margaret and Lucas who rushed out.

"Please get inside, my lady."

"Ah, Jason, do you know how much we have missed you?"

He kissed her knuckles and then his eyes met Barbara. Helplessly he surged for her, picking her up, he hugged her. 

"My Love, are you fine?" Asked Barbara.

"I am." He sniffed her scent, missing every single part of her. How could he endure being far from her for months?

"I am going to make a good water for him."

Charles stated and hurried inside.
