Theo got off the carriage after it reached the castle and paid the old man in gold coins, which made him cry.
When he moved his body toward the gate of the castle, he could already see Alfred coming down the stairs as if he already knew Theo was coming.
"Young Master Theo, it's good seeing you back. But isn't today your first day of school?" Alfred asked after giving him a courteous bow.
"My first day was yesterday, Old Man Alfred. I came here because of some urgency. Are father and mother home?"
"They sure are. Would you like to go to them directly?"
"That would be amazing."
With that, the trio went with Alfred toward the Baron's office.
Two knocks later, Alfred opened the door, making Theo smile when he saw his father and mother seated together.
They were buried in paperwork and couldn't even lift their heads until the Baron squinted his eyes and looked up, only to see the trio.
