Chapter 24

~Next Day~

As normal Alton woke up at 5am and started to swordsmenship training for the day. The captain of the knights was getting more and more impressed with the young lords skills that he decided to give him practice with another knight. Alton was fighting with the knight at hand while Arther and the knight he was facing was giving him tips on how to improve.

"Okay, I got it!" Alton said after every advice he was given.

When the time came Alton stopped and smiled at the two infront of him, Clayton smiling as he was stood behind Alton. "I knew I didn't need too worry as soon as I saw you captain your men are strong, I can definitely count on you for any battle that comes up." Alton said to him.

The captain bowed his head with a smile on his face and the knight done the same thing. "Don't forget to rest too, training is important but so is rest." Alton said while walking away from them. He gave a smile when they said;

"Yes sir!"

Right back at him. He continued to walk into the estate and looked around the place he was heading for the bath before going to meet Lloyd Elis Mernant for their little meeting. "Clayton. ." Alton spoke quietly.

Clayton looked at the young boy in front of him, knowing fully well that if Alton spoke quietly it was because he was going to say something just between the two of them. Clayton walked forward and bent down some so the boy can speak quietly but Clayton can still hear. "there was things moved around in my office, like someone was looking for something in there. . . Unfortunately for them they left a piece of a earring, Adina was snooping around in my office. While I'm in the bath try and find out what it is she wanted." Alton said while walking into the room.

Clayton bowed and walked further on to go find the lady, when he heard some voices he stopped and waited for them talk. "So you found nothing?!" Isabella shouted.

"No not at all. . . There was only documents in there that father had given him. . Nothing on what he's planning or what he is going to do." Adina said.

"You made sure you left without anything you tying you there right? Father said we need to leave that Illegitimate child alone." Isabella said.

"I think so. . ."

With that Clayton walked back, he sighed while he was walking back to meet with Alton. So they know he's up to something. . . Either that or they think he is and wants to find out what it is so they can kick him out. . I should probably tell Alton this.

Clayton walked and that's when he saw Alton walking into his room. He stood there and started to give his report from what Isabella and Adina was saying. Alton smirked and nodded his head as he looked at Clayton. "I see. . let them think that way." Alton said while still getting ready.

Clayton gave a small smile as he nodded his head to what Alton said to him. That's when Alton started to make his way to the carriage that was ready to take him to the place he will be meeting Lloyd.

Travelling there wasn't that hard and wasn't that long, he was there within a few hours and nothing went wrong along the way either. When he got out there was a six story building. The light gold and white of the parts of the building made it stand out.

Alton made his way into the building, when he did he could hear loads of the guests that was whispering about him, "Isn't that the Illegitimate child that's going to be head?"

"What's someone like that doing here?"

"This is a perfect estate so someone like him Shouldn't be here."

And there was some that also was complimenting him, however he was justing ignoring all the comments and went to the place where Lloyd was sitting. Alton smiled and bowed his head towards him. Lloyd got up and bowed as well.

"I'm glad to see you could make it young lord!"

To be continued!
