At the Heathrow's Mansion

What....!!!! The Duke's family were shocked. They looked from Dave to Irene's face and back to Dave's.

Understanding their confusion Alan smiled and took both Irene's shoulder with one hand and Williams shoulder in another and walked towrds Bella and Dave.

"Your grace, Rene already had a firm grip on Dave. He made Irene Stand next to Dave making both of them blush. Bel, is with my first younger brother Williams." He made them also stand together.

Fredrick and his family visibly relaxed. And were extatic to here that Irene and Dave had finally decided to be together. The happy atmosphere palpable and they all chatted for a few minutes and then were led to the dining hall by a maid.

After a Hearty meal, all of them started towards the Heathrow's estate except Irene. Before leaving a round of bet took place embarrassing Irene, but surprising Bella and Daisy.

" 2 days this time. Anyone up for the bet?" It was Alan who made the bet.

" Tomorrow, she will be there tomorrow. How can you be so insensitive lad. How can she be seperated from Dave for 2 days!!!?" Samuel stated with a naughty smiled.

"Grandpa..." Blushing to the roots of her hair, Irene swatted at Samuel's arm and ran off to her room. Laugthers were heard even from the entrance of her room. Smiling happily, she entered her room, closed the door and jumped onto her bed, covering her face with embarrassment.

The scene at the Heathrow's were similar to what they had witnessed at the Duke's place.

Their family members were extatic to see all their children return home healthy and happy. Rose bolted towards her brothers and hugged everyone with happy tears in her eyes.

Rose had blossomed into a beautiful young lady and was now as tall as Lilly.

Alan suddenly stood up, "Our other family members will be here shortly. I will introduce our new group members once they are here. Let's have a feast tonight. What do you all want to have?"

"Boar meat stew... " All the young ladies shouted together looking at Alan with expectation and laughter filled the room.

"Fine then, I am bring the family from Green Town in a few hours. Ben, Bob how about hunting a couple of Wild Boar's?"

"Alan dear, How are you bringing them withing a couple of hours? Are they already at the city entrance?" Elena asked in curiosity.

"Both Ben and Bob went and stood next to Alan, who put his arms on their shoulders and grinned. Guys you explain....." With that he vanished into thin air along with Ben and Bob.

The Heathrow's jumped in surprise and started looking around for the three of them, smiling warmly at their expression, Chris started explaining the ability of Alan.

"Wow..... Big brother Al is so powerful. I think I will ask him to take me to the Swan lake town tomorrow. I miss that place...." Rose suddenly covered her moyth in shock after that and looked around. " Don't worry Rose, we will all visit Swan Lake Town" Understanding her concern, Williams said.

"But brother Wil, Brother Ben..." Rose looked sad and didn't complete her sentence.

"Its alright princess, I am also coming with you. And don't worry I will not be upset by it." Ben's voice came from the entrance of the hall and he came and put his hand on Rose's shoulder and smiled warmly.

What happened at Swan Lake Town Ben? Bella asked curiously. The room fell silent at her question. Bella felt awkward but Ben waved his hand in a dismissive way and started relaying his story for the first time in over 10 years.

"Its been 10 years Bel..... " Ben relived the incident from the moment he left for the Swan Lake town and till the time Alan healed him completely, sparing him facing the same fate as his father did.

He sighed deeply after completing his part, tears in his eyes and his voice hoarse by talking non stop for so long. Bob had his hand on Ben's shoulder in a comforting way.

I..... He cleared his throat, 'I never thought It would still hurt, reliving that moment Ben. But I think it would be better to visit the place once. I can't just avoid it because I have bad memories right." Ben smiled at others.

Rose hugged him. "I am sorry brother, it was not my intention to hurt you. She started to sob harder."

Ben smiled warmly and tousled her hair,. "Silly girl, when had you made me sad. It's you who made us happy. Always."

After a few seconds, Daisy suddenly remembered something and asked, " Bob you guys went for hunting right?"

Bob noded his head and then pointed his thumb towards the kitchen. "The kitchen staffs are dressing the carcass. Two fully grown boar and a white Deer is ready to be cooked."

"How.....!!!! So fast?" Daisy was speachless. Ben simply shrugged and smiled.

"By the way there is one more surprise, let the others come first, then we will announce it." Williams looked at Daisy and Chris with a Devilish smile. Daisy blushed but Chris looked solemn and shook his head at Williams.
