Second chance at happiness A man who came to ask for his sister’s happiness.
“Woman, aren’t you bothered by the fact that another woman lives in your husband’s heart?” Albert asked curiously. “Why should I be?” Ursula shrugged “He never told me he loved me… nor did we marry for love?” “Shouldn’t I be bothered if he didn’t love his wife?” Ursula quirked her eyebrows in ridicule. “Why did you marry him then?” Second brother, Alden looked extremely confused. “I fell in love with my bumble bee.” Ursula smiled showing her dimples, a rare smile that came from her heart. “I couldn’t bear the thought of my bumble bee having anyone else as her stepmother.” Ursula spoke naturally “We got along well, and she was very attached to me, so when Mr Marsden suggested we get married, I didn’t have to think twice.” “Why did he suggest that if he didn’t love you?” Alwyn knitted his brows. “He needed to be away from home for long periods of time to search for his friend and little Mira would be on her own. So….” Ursula didn’t complete the rest; she just waved her hands sugge

“An unwed single woman living in a household with a widowed man and daughter… you can guess the rumors.” Matthew pursed his lips “I wanted to let her leave, but Mira was too attached to her and she to Mira. I was selfish” Matthew shook his head regretfully “I asked her if she wanted to marry me to clear her name. I did tell her that my heart was too small, and it could only hold my wife.” “I told her that I would give her everything that was a wife’s due except my heart.” Matthew laughed regretfully “Little did I know this foolish woman would take that seriously to this day!” “She agreed without hesitation.” Matthew smiled in self- mockery “She told me that as long as she could have Mira as her daughter, she wouldn’t ask anything more of me and she had kept her word.” “I have wronged her terribly not just in the past but also recently.” Matthew shook his head in self-blame and retold the incident around Mira’s marriage. “You and us, both.” Cyrus too felt regretful. He played the jo

Harrison left two maids to help with at the manor and sent the rest back to Southamberston to get four cottages close to the Southamberston manor and all the apartments in the manor ready. “Since you all insist on staying…. I am not sure how to organize the living arrangements.” Mira knitted her brows as she thought of all the people left behind. “Nothing to it, Your Grace.” Harrison shrugged “We will all stay in the second cottage.” “What about the guards?” Mira pursed her lips in thought. “They have their own arrangement.” Harrison began to explain as he saw that Mira’s expression didn’t loosen “Ma’am, the guards always bring their tent along. Sometimes, we camp with them as well.” “But this is not for a day or two.” Mira frowned as she turned to look at Jack for a solution. “Your Grace, it really is not a problem.” Lazarus opened his mouth in a timely manner. “We are used to it and works better for us.” “We will have to trouble Your Grace to provide us with space to raise two
Second chance at happiness A gentleman’s honour is not joke.
“A gentleman’s honor is not joke.” Stranton declined with a serious expression and then chuckled “I am waiting for the storm… this is just a breeze.” “Alright then…” Mira laughed and didn’t insist. She handed five gold coins to the attendant who helped her. “This….” The attendant had a constipated expression as she looked between the gold coins and her boss’s face. “Don’t decline the duchess generosity on my account.” Stranton laughed lightly in good manner. “Thank you… thank you my lady.” The attendant happily received the gold coins and waved them goodbye. “Where to next?” Jack teased as he sat inside the carriage with Mira looking at all the boxes piled in front. “Aldrin’s” “Um” Aldrin was not at the shop like usual, but his shop assistant was familiar with Mira and left her to her devices. She gathered a basket full of threads, silk and metallic threads, round and marquise shaped pearls, reflective circular disc and column pieces in different shades needed for the different

“Sir, I need to give you a briefing of the current affairs of the estate.” Carl scratched the back of his head.“That is why you stayed back?” Jack raised his eyebrows.Carl rubbed his chin; he didn’t know if it was a good thing that his new master could read him like a book. Most people couldn’t read him, a skill he learned as part of his job.“Go on.” Jack sat back and crossed his arms. This chair was very comfortable especially with the fur cushions his wife made.“Shall I call your brother?” Carl asked; Since he was going to take an apprentice, it would be best to start from the beginning.“Um” Jack nodded in appreciation and called Harrison to get big brother.Oden was sitting in the front room with John and Beth telling them that Jack asked him to join as the apprentice for his man of business.“Son, do well.” John patted his back “Don’t be a burden for your cousin. Shoulder some of his burden.”“Um”Harrison knocked on the door and waited outside. He could hear voices, but they
Second chance at happiness Where would your loyalties be?
“This current understanding is that Southamberston was annexed under the management of the king’s estate as our master died without an heir…. But that is not true.” Carl started at the beginning.“Is that not the case?” Mira raised her eyebrows.“Not in its entirety.” Carl shook his head. His eyes reflected a deep-seated regret.“Continue.” Jack waved his hand.“The Haribeorts who are the original owners of Southamberston do not follow the norms of inheritance. The father to son or closest male relative rule for inheritance does not exist for Haribeorts.”“Their legacy has always been father to the oldest offspring, whether it is a male or female.”“The only exception is when the heir passes the inheritance to the next in-line.” Carl continued “Let’s say, the eldest daughter who is the heir marries off to a distant land or another dukedom where managing both estates is more than she can handle; She can pass her birthright to her next sibling.”“That is such a fair system.” Mira nodded
Second chance at happiness Who do you think has been guarding the place like a ghost?
Carl took a deep breath as he regained composure “We were later told by the old master in confidence that we were not to ask any questions and that the dukedom would be annexed to the Royal estate due to lack of heir. We were strictly forbidden from contracting this version of the story.”“The current king as far as I have heard is righteous.” Jack pursed his lips skeptically “If this property was annexed unlawfully, then he would have passed it to its rightful heir and never kept it, let alone gift it to another.”“Your Grace, the inheritance rights of the Haribeort family are not widely known. Only a select few are preview to this knowledge and are not allowed to reveal it to another soul. Other than the Haribeorts, the king and the chief of chamber of inheritance rights no one has the privilege to know this.”“Usually after the new king’s coronation, there is ceremony where the chief of every governing body in the country will have a meeting with the king… something like a rite of p
Second chance at happiness My world is besides you…. whether it is murky or still waters.
“I don’t think I heard anything confidential that warrants his fear.” Oden knitted his brows as he opened his mouth for the first time since he entered the room.Jack nodded to agree but Mira pursed her lips and knitted his brows.“What is it love?” Jack noted that she didn’t agree.“Maybe… maybe not…” Mira’s expression didn’t loosen as she continued “Think about it…. this is knowledge that only a few share…. Knowledge that could if used by those with malicious intent, incriminate the king of a treacherous act. One if instigated in the right amount could even start a rebellion.”“But what puzzles me is why the old master decided to take it sitting down.” Mira twirled her finger around a loose hair strand “The Haribeort’s must have had some clout to be able to write their own law of inheritance that didn’t conform to the normal laws of the land.”Mira kept twirling her hand as she spoke “He must have been betting on his grandson… something must have reassured him that there was no need
