Star Eater

Chapter 255: Chapter 255

Aydalia's Point of View

Farro Estate

"What happened?"

"Sweetheart-"

"What happened!?" My husband asked more firmly.

Sitting down, I gestured for all our servants to leave. "I made a mistake."

Aien's breath caught at that. "How bad?" After all, it wasn't often I made mistakes.

"He might kill me..."

The two of us became quiet after I had said it out loud. "Well, Sir Arthur is a private man. A powerful one as well. I take it the information you learned wasn't what you had hoped?"

He slammed the butt of his cane into the wooden porch. "Ah'm not the one ta answer yer questions!" Then he turned to me. "Go ta bed and forget this ever happened!"

Shaking my head, I stood my ground. "Ah can't just forget this, Grandpa! Did ya hear what Arthur said!" My grandfather grit his teeth as I pointed at him. "It's fine that ya know somethin, but don't just dismiss me like Ah'm some stranger. Ah'm not a little girl anymore, and I deserve ta be treated as such. Arthur's my friend too. Part of me even thinks of him as family."

Grandpa frowned. "Arthur is quite fond of ya, but what the Farro's did... Ah don't know what's gonna happen."

Sighing, I sat down next to him as the rain continued to pour while we watched it in the dark. "Do ya know who Arthur is?" I asked him. "He tries so hard ta hide it, but Ah know he's got some connection to Lestrania and Lucia..."

"Ah told Arthur Ah wouldn't speak of it. He spoke ta me in confidence, and Ah intend ta keep it. If ya want ta know more about Arthur, ask him, but if he doesn't wish ta speak about himself, just know he has his reasons." He reached to me a placed a hand on my shoulder. "He has reasons for everythin he does. Remember that."

"Alright." My response was soft as I looked down.

However, I looked back up when his grip on my shoulder tightened. "However, Ah need ya ta take Austin into town tomorrow." At my confused look, he explained. "When Ah talk ta Arthur, Ah don't want either of ya here."

"It's that serious?"

"It is. Promise me that you'll take care of Austin tomorrow."

I nodded. "Ah promise."

He shook me a little bit with a smile. "Don't worry. Arthur's got a temper, but Ah don't think we need ta worry too much." It may have been the lack of light playing tricks on me, but his face looked worried.
