Chapter 67: Trouble- Part 2

His sister and father seemed to have no clue as they tried to remember who it was while his step-mother looked away with a sigh of frustration. She answered slowly, "Leonard Carmichael." 

"Oh, yes, him!" Damien had met and spoken to the man personally during various occasions of their work. He was one of the straightforward men in the council and also a good man who often was found in the company of the current Lord of Bonelake, "What happened to that?" Damien poked his nose. Duke Leonard would never fall for his sweet sister Grace. Grace, Maggie, and he shared the same father but it was only Maggie and him who shared the same mother. 

He didn't have to know what happened but if hot tea was spilling so readily who was he to stop it. Instead, he enjoyed his step-mother's unhappy expression.
