Lucy Wickshire

Chapter 212

Amie sat in Walter"s office looking through files Guard Holden had brought. The more she looked, the greater her headache. She looked up at the two by the corner and they hurried forward.

"Who are these Southern lords of Northern Lan?" she asked.

"They claimed that they were under the headship of the Steinhouse name. After the war, the late king divided Northern Lan lands to n.o.bles of Juhntt except them, as they had declared under Lord Steinhouse"s name. They had come a while back to see Her Ladyship on His Lordship"s orders, but..." the butler explained.

"My brother was not around." Amie understood the situation. Looking at the doc.u.ments alone, she could tell that the Steinhouse t.i.tle had a lot to its name.

"They are still in the capital?" she asked.

"Yes, Miss Krain." Guard Holden answered.

"Have them come meet me tomorrow." Amie said and dismissed them with a wave, but the two stayed back.

"My Lady, a doc.u.ment from the ministry of land and properties came for you." The butler handed it to her with head bowed.

"Me?" Amie was confused. She opened the sealed paper and read through. One look was all that was needed to understand what was happening. This was an official transfer of custodianship of Steinhouse properties and its interests to the House of Krain. She was delegated by her brother as first custodian and ruling decider over the running and handling of the Steinhouse properties. Her brother was still alive, how could this doc.u.ment exist?

At this, she stood abruptly, "Prepare my carriage." she said and the butler bowed and rushed out the room. She read through the entire doc.u.ment then looked up at Guard Holden.

"Where did my brother and his wife say they were going?" she asked sternly, a stark contrast from her always soft voice that startled the guard.

"Her Ladyship was taken away by her family." he answered.

"Her family? The late king?"

"No Miss, the Ligrel clan. She only said she will be returning with His Lordship and not to worry. We heard rumour that she was really with His Lordship when Lady Wickshire destroyed the Harnian gate, so she must be with him right now." Amie just heard so many names she did not recognize, so she frowned.

"The Harnian gate? Ligrel clan? Who is Lady Wickshire?" she asked Guard Holden, who was stuck in place.
