“We’re home,” The journey back to the city had been entirely smooth. That was probably because of the wolves that were around the carriage. Right now, Leon and Laura were riding on top of the leader. It seemed it had gotten used to them.
“Michael, you can bring everyone home. Also, help the beastmen find a place where they can stay. I’m going to Logan with the wolves.”
“Gotcha!”
“We want to come with you!” Leon and Laura sounded.
“Same.” Carolyn and Krystal were eager.
“... Nevermind.” All of us were going to the farm.
“Young Master, I will help the others get situated,” May added. '
"Understood. Use as many coins as you need."
"Yes."
"Follow big brother!" Leon pointed in Keith's direction. The leader made a howl as it followed his lead. It was quite happy being around the two. When they arrived at the farm,
“Keith!”
“Fira, you’re here?”
“Mmhmm! I’m helping with the farm,” Fira grinned as she floated around the group.
“Fira!” The two kids chimed.
“Hello, you two!” The spirit landed on Laura's shoulders.
“Welcome–woah! Why do you have so many wolves?!” Logan was met with a pack of wolves behind Keith. The man grinned, “Simple, they’ll be living with you guys from now on.”
“Say what?”
“You said before that you need help dealing with the moles, right? What better way than to have a wolf?” Wolves had higher instincts than normal human beings.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
“…” You sure you want animals to be with us? The last one was causing a lot of problems for them.
“Trust me. You guys need to feed them, and they’re good to go!” Keith smiled, “Also, you guys will be working with spirits, so don’t be too alarmed."
“Woof!” The wolves agreed.
“See ya later!” Leon and Laura patted the wolves before they left.
“You sure that’s a good idea?”
“Yep, when have I ever lied?” Keith grinned. He had a hunch the wolves would be great workers.
“Alright then.”
“The chocolate factory is definitely going to be nice.” The thought of it only made him grin even more. But as they had returned home, William and the rest had greeted him by the door.
But two new people were with them.
(If you are reading this other than RoyalRoad or Scribblehub, then it’s stolen.)
“Mother?!” Carolyn and Krystal gasped as they stared at Thalia and Violet. They were surprised the two were here as well.
“Did you miss your mother?” Thalia grinned as she hugged a stunned Carolyn. Violet did the same with Krystal.
“Hello, Keith. I hope my daughter hasn’t been doing anything horrible these past few days.”
“No, Krystal had been a great guest,” Keith shook his head.
“Mother, why are you here?” Krystal was in disbelief. Wasn’t she supposed to be home dealing with the things?
“What about you?” Carolyn had said the same thing as well.
“The same, and I need some time away from the castle. Unlike Julius, I don’t think I could hold back my anger any longer.” Thalia’s expression turned livid as her eyes flared a raging fire never before.
“…” What does she mean by this?
When the group entered the living room, Sophia questioned, “So you came here because you were worried about your daughter?”
“Mmhmm,” Violet nodded. She came for a simple reason.
“And you came because you were going to kill someone if you didn’t leave?” Now, that was something that needed to be discussed. What was she planning with that?
“That woman dare say that the marriage should have happened. The people who ruined it were Carolyn and us! Are you kidding me?!” Thalia’s expression turned dark as she recalled those words. That was more than enough to make her hand itch.
“Ah, that idiot.” Sophia and Violet quickly understood who she was talking about.
“...Who?” Derek blinked.
“Felix and Doyle’s mother.” Carolyn understood who it was.
“Well, that woman had always thought she should have been queen,” Violet sipped on her tea. Felix was the first prince, so she should have been the queen. Yet, it was given to Thalia. That woman had been out for her.
That was when Keith had placed a few cups down.
“Aunty, drink this. It’s hot chocolate. It will calm you down.”
“Thank you,” Thalia nodded as she started to drink. Keith also placed another cup, “Aunty Violet, drink this for your health.”
“Mmhmm.” Honey milk for the grand duchess.
“Hah, that woman is just the worst,” Thalia groaned as she sipped. That hot chocolate really cooled down her anger. But it didn’t lower it by that much.
“Quit playing around; you guys just want to play hooky and stay over here, am I right?” Sophia sipped on her milk tea and stared at them. There was something else they weren’t saying.
“Mo-“
“That’s exactly correct!” “Indeed.” The two wives didn’t deny it at all!
Violet sighed, “Edmund could handle everything by himself. And I need a break from all of this. I’ve been working for too long.”
“And this is Julius’s problem. I don’t want to stay near him at all.” Thalia pouted as she looked away. The king was also getting the treatment as well.
“Guess I’m going to get started on dinner. “
“I’ll-“ “There’s no need for you two to help me. I’ll deal with it myself, you don’t have to worry about it. You guys already did a lot for me,” Keith patted the two as he headed into the kitchen.
