129 Arrival of the ghost- Part 2 (2/2)

”I think you're bleeding,” she pointed, dropping the cautiousness she had been guarding herself with, ”The butler is very skilled. He can help you fix it up before Lord Nicholas arrives.”

The man gave a thoughtful look, his unwavering eyes staring back at her before he agreed to her. Taking the man inside, Heidi asked Stanley to help in dressing the man's wound. She stood at a side, seeing the butler wrap the bandage around the man's stomach. The wound seemed to be healing but she wondered why he hadn't treated it.

”Malphus Crook,” Lord Nicholas arrived at the drawing room.

”Lord Nicholas!” Heidi saw the man stand up while leaving the bandage loose in the butler's hand, ”Your presence has been asked in Mythweald right away,” his words filled with urgency.

”Alright. Stanley,” Nicholas looked at his butler, ”Get the carriage ready and send word to Mr. Rufus and Mr. Meyers.”

”Yes, master,” the butler bowed and looked at the man who sat on the couch, ”I will ask a maid to fix the endings.”

”That won't be necessary. You can leave,” he ordered his butler. Heidi looked at Nicholas confused at why he would ask the man from being tended.

”Yes, master,” the butler bowed again, taking the first aid box along with him and out of the room.

”Don't worry, darling. He won't die. He's already dead,” Nicholas answered when he noticed the questionable look he received from her. Heidi looked at the man to see him nod with a mischievous smile.

The butler got the carriage readied as told. Putting the necessary luggage the Lord would require, he brought the cloak his master would require. The entire time Heidi sat quietly with the man in the drawing room. When the lord and Malphus were set to leave, Heidi couldn't resist herself from asking the lord on when he would return back.

”It shouldn't take more than a week. I might need to go visit the council before I head here,” he informed her.

”Have a safe trip,” she wished him.

”Stanley,” the Lord looked at his butler to receive a reply right away, ”Yes, master,” and like that, the carriage left the Rune's mansion as it headed to the main city of the South empire.
