Edward scattered the hay on the floor but he could not find what he was searching for. The blood stain was still there but Harolde head was gone, disappeared without a single trace."The... the head was right here," Edward said, more to himself thannhis butler. He ransacked the haystack again but his search ended futile. The head was really really gone. "No one came in here, Your Grace?" Mr Brown asked as he joined his master innhis search. Edward shook his head and said, "no, no one came in. The only person who did was Williams and Francis but I was with the head when they both came to see me."Edward stopped his search and knelt down on the floor as his body immediately went weak. How could he have lost the head just like that? How could he have been this careless."We will find it, Your Grace," Mr Brown said. "We just have to keep on searching the place for any trace." Edward knew that his butler was only saying this to give him hope but he knew that they were not going to find

Edward cussed inwardly as he turned to the carriage window and looked at his reflection. What he saw staring at him was the hideous face of a Duke. He turned back and stared at the manor that was now looking like a bead set up on a hill. They were already too far to turn back now."Fuck," Edward cussed as he turned and sat back on his seat. He ran his fingers through his hair, staring at Emily's pale face. There was no way he could turn back when she was in this condition. He would have to risk being seen to save her.The carriage rode on, shaking periodically as its wheel bumped on the little stones that filled the roads. Edward shouted countless times for the servant driving to be careful even though he knew the carriage was still going to shake no matter what. He was just too nervous at the moment to even think straight.Edward looked out the window and saw the trees passing by slowly. He frowned. Why were they slowing down?He tapped on the window and shouted, "I asked for you to

Edward entered his carriage and closed the door shut. He knocked on the roof of the carriage and the servant driving him immediately whipped the horse, causing it to begin its trot forward. He had already begun his journey to Whissletown where the party was going to take place.The main truth of the whole thing was that Edward wasn't just going there to party. He was going on a mission, a mission to find out the truth.He had received news from one of his spies that the Viscount Erin of Bardon, one of his father's friends, had partnered with his longtime arch-rival, the Duke Frederick of Bedsart, and the both were already planning on going on a coup against him.What confused Edward the most about the whole thing was that the both already had great empires to their names. He didn't know why they were going on a coup against him. He knew for sure that they weren't doing it to add his Duchy to theirs.His main aim now was to go to the party and find out from Duke Frederick himself if wh

Erin didn't reply to Edward for a few seconds and instead began laughing maniacally. Edward was confused at his reaction but found it to be suspicious."Stop laughing, Viscount Erin and answer my question," Edward said, his voice filled with anger. Erin stopped laughing and took a deep breath.He released the sucked in air with a sigh before saying, "you already know the answer to that question. I don't see why you are asking me when you do." Edward chuckled."So it is true, huh," he said before shaking his head. "Tell me one reason why I shouldn't hold you by the throat and squeeze till your eyes pop out of its socket."Erin shrugged and replied, "because we are surrounded by thousands of people and guards who would rush you if they ever find out that you killed me. Besides, you shouldn't take me as one who is dumb." "You brought your army with you?""Not all of them," Erin mumbled with a sigh as he stared at his fingernails. "Only about twenty of them.""You know I was coming, didn

Edward immediately rushed towards the man before he could make any sudden movement and grabbed him by the hand that held the dagger. The man struggled to release himself from Edwards grip but Edward held on tightly.Erin's man brought out a dagger from behind him with his other hand and tried stabbing Edward with it but Edward was just too fast. He saw it coming and quickly moved to the side, dodging the dagger but he let go of the hand in the process."You're dead," Erin's man said with a smirk as he played with the two daggers in his hands. Edwards' brain began to run as different scenarios began playing out in his head. Some were of him getting stabbed with the dagger but Edward wasn't going to let that happen.The man rushed towards Edward with a loud shout and Edwards' battle instincts immediately kicked in. Edward moved to the side and grabbed one of the hands of his attacker. His attacker tried using his free hand to stabilize Edward at his back but Edward made a quick move tha

Edward jumped out of the carriage and began limping to his door. He had noticed when he was in the carriage that his leg hurt like hell and he checked to see what was causing the pain.A large, mean slash ran from the upper thigh of his left leg down to his calf. How he had not noticed it sooner, he didn't know. Maybe it was the adrenaline that he was feeling at that moment.Edward knocked on the door, his teeth jammed together as he tried swallowing the pain coursing through his leg. He knocked again but there was no answer. Why wasn't anyone answering the door?Edward turned and looked around him. The whole place was quiet left for the bleating of the still awake goats and the grunting of the never sleeping pigs that were in his barn. Apart from those noises, no other intelligible noise was heard throughout the manor.The whole place was dark and the moon that was once casting its beautiful light upon the manor was now hidden in the clouds. The dark clouds that had swallowed the mo

The morning sun had begun to cast its golden rays upon Edwards manor, giving it a look that would make one shed tears in awe. Edward didn't feel like that though. He had more important things to worry himself about.He and his butler, Mr Brown, had discussed about the steps that he, Edward, was to take towards what he had just discovered about his father's old friend, Viscount Erin, and his arch-rival, Duke Frederick.Mr Brown had proposed that he go to the council of the Lords and explain everything to them but Edward wanted war. The attack that he had received from Erin's men while still at the party was one that he knew he could not tolerate. If they hadn't attacked him, he would have considered going to the council of the Lords but then doing that had provoked him. If he refused war, it would only show him as a coward, running to the Lords for protection. Edward didn't want to be addressed as such. That would hurt his ego and also bring down the image of his family's name. He was

"Take it to the council of the Lords?" James asked, his voice almost a scream. "That would only portray you as one who is weak and a coward.""Exactly my thought, friend," Edward said with a small grunt as he took a sip from the shot glass in his hand. He squinted a bit, the hot run he just drank burning his throat a little. After a little cough, he continued, "I have tried explaining it to Brown but he insists that I take it to the council.""But they won't do anything," James said, a frown on his face as he walked over to Edward and poured him another shot of rum from the bottle he was holding. He dropped the bottle back on the table and sighed. "The council of the Lords will find a peaceful approach to the whole situation and I assure you, that is something that you do not want." Edward nodded."All my life as a little boy, I had not been fortunate enough to be one of the little children who saw their father everyday," Edward said with a small grunt as he sipped his rum. With a sma
