The Armand family carriage rolled into the estate, shining in the afternoon sunlight. Lady Francesca stepped out first. Lord Garius followed, his expression serious as his sharp eyes scanned the unusual gathering of maids and guards waiting at the entrance.
"What's wrong?" Francesca asked, her calm voice breaking the tense atmosphere.
A maid stepped forward and bowed respectfully. "My lord, my lady, it's about the young master."
Francesca's eyes narrowed slightly. "What happened?"
The maid hesitated but continued, "The young master has refused to eat or come inside. He's been outside near the Pekko pen since last night."
Francesca's lips parted in surprise before she sighed. "I see. Where is he now?"
"He's still by the tree near the Pekko pen," the maid replied, looking nervously at Lord Garius.
Francesca exchanged a knowing look with her husband. "I'll handle this," she said, turning towards the Pekko pen.
