Chapitre 27: Dead Luck

For a few moments, I was motionless in my seat and almost missed Sir Strike and Chase's argument. My spirit quickly returned to reality when the mansion's large lobby door opened.

Sir Fernando and the rest of the deadlocks were revealed when the door was opened. Each wore a different expression. Some were astounded by the structure and interior of the house, while others wondered and questioned why they were there.

"Stella! Stella!" Myra yelled from the door. When I turned around, she was already running towards where I was sitting. Angela and the deadlocks' children were following her.

"Is she all right?" Sir Fernando inquired, concerned. He was staring at me as he spoke to the sitting Sir Dane.

"She's fine! So far, no missing parts."

"All right, then."

"Isn't it the perfect time for a hug?" Dane asked as he opened his arms wide to embrace Sir Fernando.

Sir Ferns shifted his gaze away from his cousin as if he was caught in an awkward situation.
