Home Arrested!

At the Parker family mansion in Royal City, 

Theodor was startled as he prepared to leave his home. 

A sight greeted him that made his heart race—a dozen or more royal guards had appeared out of nowhere, fully armed and blocking the main gate. Their eyes bore an unsettling intensity as if they were ready to attack his house.

"Bloody hell! Is the kingdom under attack or something!?" Theodor muttered, abruptly halting his steps before reaching his car. 

He stood there, locking eyes with his house head security guard, who approached him. The man's distressed expression made Theodor believe something terrible had happened.

"Young Master... Young master..." the head guard gasped, stopping a few paces away from Theodor as though he were struggling to catch his breath, as if his chest was pressing from shock.

"What on earth is happening here?" Theodor impatiently demanded as he waited for the guard to explain.
