1938 A Special Gift
In the hospital, the boy finally woke up and quickly told all he knew. Officer Mina then contacted the aircraft, but was surprised to find that they had apprehended the men they spoke about with ease. Listening to the full recap, several officers and law enforcers chuckled till their bellies hurt. Oops. Those in the security rooms watching the monitors must have had a real laugh when seeing these assassins lean the walls and stay still waiting for the red eye to turn. If they knew that A 360 degree camera meant that no matter whether they stand underneath the camera or not, they will still get captured. Oh well, but the public doesn't know this, so one can't really laugh too hard at these assassins. And just like that, on the first day of the grand holidays, several secured police vehicles were sent down from the Capital to Gauge town, to pick up the trespassers and assassin's involved with the hijacking. Later, the boy in question was asked to describe who were the men he saw and sketch artists gave a bloody good seeing of Steward Jacobs and several others. Larkstar was wearing a mask around his mouth and nose area, so Mina could only describe his upper face, his hair and everything else. On day 2, Steward Jacobs and his men were arrested, but Larkstar had long left Baymard's borders the moment his men didn't return on the time planned. His face was pitch black and his entire body cold when thinking of how confident he was at the beginning and comparing it to now. 'I underestimated them…' It seems next him, he must come back with more men in full force to exact his revenge. As for the rest of his men who are either fleeing, captured or in hiding, Larkstar didn't feel any sorrow for them. As killers, one must expect death in all missions. So they must accept their loss and be ready to die or get tortured to death by the enemy. . Like so, Baymard remained a mix of excitement and chaos throughout the holidays. And one of the greatest excitements of all, was the emergence of a woman who was brought back to life in the flesh. 08:00
On day 2 of the holiday, Landon and several others were now having a grand meal at the palace gardens. Yesterday, it was all about the parades. The boys, Godric and Wilfred, alongside their aunt Kora, were high up high and shown to the group while waving in the grand Golden carriage led by sturdy stallions. "Ahhh! The twins are so cute!" "Mommy, mommy, I want to marry the twins when I grow up. Can I marry both of them?" "Wahhh~... princess Kiara is adorable! Just look at how cute she is acting all grown up?" (>0<)
The twin's really seemed to like the attention, waving and fidgeting in their laps.
Lucy held the calmer Godric while he held the troublesome Wilfred. Some of their friends in the palace's guest buildings also joined the parade. All in all, it was a great day. There were games, festivities, plays, hot air balloon rides, you name it. Everyone had a blast. And today, most people were probably going to do other fun touristy things like visiting the zoo with family, going mountain biking with friends, go-karts racing, playing games and all that good stuff. But for Landon and many in the palace, they were quite exhausted, deciding to use this free time to relax and do simple things at 'home.' So now, they were playing Garden Croquet, which was similar to the one played in Alice in Wonderland. Tea and biscuits were served outside, ladies, gentlemen and couples all relaxed together, enjoying the day as it unfolded. And while they played, the maids calmly dressed the incredibly long and exquisite outdoor table that once again, reminded them of the scene where Alice was having tea with the Mad Hatter. Why… the table with its unique design, was in the shape of two S's placed side by side.
The children and those fairly young will sit in one S-table while the adults will sit in the other. For now, the staff were dressing the table, while the rest of the adults and children played Garden Croquet.
Some children chose to fly kites, others chose to paint, and some admired the ponds, flowers and the beauty all around them. But suddenly, a guard came forward and whispered something into Landon's ears, causing him to get up abruptly and use his key to tap the side of his campaign glass. Oh? Uther, Beverly, Mother Kim, and several others raised their brows high when seeing his actions. After knowing Landon for so long, they knew he definitely had something up his sleeves. . "Everyone, on behalf of myself, my Queen and my people, I wish to take you all to celebrate this glorious moment with us." "No need to thank us!" Someone's voice echoed, leading to laughter from the gang. It was amazing that time spent running into each other when they visited, had led to strong friendships between many. Their relationships were no longer rigid and their smiling faces had no masks whether they speak. Harmony, unity,... Peace. Wasn't this all they hoped for? (^w^)
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls…. Thank you for being here today." Landon continued. His entire body then shifted to Lucy who was dressed in what looked like white Greek attire. Her white gown flowed like ripples, her smile bloomed like flowers, and the twinkle of abundant love in her eyes made Landon wish he could capture his moment deep in his soul. This was his woman, the only woman he knew he would ever love. Taking her hand gently, Landon continued– "My lady… my beautiful queen, I don't know what I would have ever done without you in my life." "Brother Landon…" Lucy's face turned beetroot red when hearing Landon's confession. Sorry, she married the most considerate and loving man in the world. No one can tell her otherwise. Everyone else on the other hand, felt like they were eating dog shit now, especially those who were still single. Alas… 'I must definitely get a girlfriend before another yet passes me by. Or else won't I die from just watching these 2 shameless people?' Get a room already, will you?
Several people had to admit that they envied the love between the couple. .
Landon kissed her pearl white hands gently. "You complete me, body and soul. But where would I be without you?" "My Queen, this question has plagued my mind for a long time, so what sort of man will I be without giving you one to do the things I know you earnestly desire?" Raising his body, Landon gave a viable nod to the guard who in turn began opening the grand Garden doors. "My Queen, my Lucy…. This is my gift to you." Lucy chuckled excitedly, calmly throwing her head behind her back, only to see the emergence of a person she knew all too well. Several others were shocked out of their eyeball sockets, recognizing the woman who walked in, to be similar to the woman in the palace portraits they have seen before. This… who… when… you… Boom!
An explosive sound went off in Lucy's mind when standing abruptly to take a good look at the incoming guest. "M… mother?"
