"My girls..." Henry whispered, voice cracking.
What?
The words that left the butler's lips stunned everyone.
Henry moved forward, almost in a daze, until he stood right in front of Heidi and Penelope.
The twins instinctively stepped back.
What was going on?
But Henry bent slightly, staring deeply into their faces with trembling eyes. "It's really you..." He breathed.
All of a sudden and before they could react, he turned toward Wilson.
Their eyes met, and Henry gave a single, heavy nod.
Wilson's gaze sharpened.
"Let's go inside," he said calmly to Aristia. "You haven't introduced our guests yet."
Aristia was confused even though she had a faint guess, but still nodded and turned to the bewildered sisters.
"Let's go in."
As they entered inside, the head maid, Jacqueline Cedmond, was speaking with a maid.
She turned just in time to see the group.
A warm, welcoming smile lit her face. "Princess Aristia is back with the guests."
