Before Alton left he arranged a place, Day, and time for him to be able to meet Lloyd. He was walking out of the the palace and noticed the guards around him was also looking at him. He still kept going forward to his carriage but couldn't help but notice they all was looking at him.

And unknowingly to him, Clayton and Nyoria was nervous while walking behind him. They both was carrying his bags and their own but felt uneasy with what happened with the king and now the guards.

Alton got into the carriage with his mother and Clayton. He looked around the place and then looked at those two in front of him. "Was it me or was that weird?" Alton asked them.

They both looked at him and nodded their head agreeing with him that, that was indeed wired. The whole way back it was too say the least a headache, the road got bumpy, they was attacked by wild animals, who luckily enough Alton and Clayton managed to defeat. The carriage even had to stopped for repairs. When they finally got home the entire estate was outside waiting for them.

That's including the family as well.

He looked at them all, raises eyebrow at them all. That's when they bowed to Alton. Alton looked them all while walking in infront of the whole family as they are walking behind him. "what's all this about?" He asked them.

"I noticed the staff going to meet you so I thought me and the family should join them." The count said.

Alton smiled when heard the staff members was going to welcome him home and then it vanished when he heard Cornelius and his family went to join in too. Alton excused himself and went to change into something more comfortable, after a bath.

Once he done that he walked out and made his way to his father's office, when he got there he noticed that it was just those two in there. "why didn't say anything?" Alton asked him.

Cornelius looked at his only son after he spoke those words. That's when Alton started to continue what he was saying. "Why didn't you say your real was Viscount? You made me look like an idiot for not telling me!" Alton said rather annoyed at his father.

"You already look like one anyway. You should have tried to make sure you knew all the facts of that you was getting yourself into." Cornelius spoke up.

"That's a lie and you know it. There is no way I would have known or figured it out since you kept everyone quiet. Does your daughters even know?" Alton asked him. The viscount didn't say anything back so Alton had his answer. He nodded his head and then left without saying another word.

This made his plan even more easier to do as the young ladies would have no clue what he is doing and for all they knew Alton could have had the Viscount's permission. However he joined Clayton half way through the halls and they looked at eachother.

"Alton. . . Is there something wrong?" Clayton asked him.

Alton looked at the butler with a smile on his face and shook his head at what the butler asked him. "no but tomorrow I will be meeting Lloyd, so please see too everything and make sure it's all in order if you don't mind." Alton asked.

Clayton smiled and bowed while walking off to see too all the preparation as he did Alton walked too the office he was given and sat down he looked around the place and noticed that some of the things have been moved. Who have been in here without my permission?

He got up and walked over to each of the things that have been moved that's when he noticed a piece of a earring that was by the lamp and statue he had on the draws in the room. He looked careful and his mind flashed an image of a certain second daughter. He put the piece away and walked out after putting everything back.

they're making this way too easy.
