章 296: Last hope- Part 1

Penny was fixing up the fireplace with some extra logs of woods as the cold had crept inside the room when someone knocked on the door. Leaving the log of wood on the floor, she went to the door and opened it.

"Is master Damien in here?" It was the butler. 

"No, he went out for work," she answered to notice a confusing expression fall on the butler's face. Compared to Falcon who had always been calm and composed, this new butler appeared to always look as if he was ready to run if someone even coughed. She wondered if it was the Quinn's that had him behave like this right now. She gave him a questioning look. 

"None of the carriages has been taken out from the shed," he waved his hand over his shoulder. Durik was sure that he had been on the ground floor and near the entrance the whole day since he last saw Master Damien.
