Night Of Tragedy [Pt 2]

[00 Months: 12 Days: 17 Hours]

'Something must have happened here…'

My heart thumped as I took in the sight of tragedy, unable to really tell what was going on.

I approached them slowly, concern etched on my face.

"What's going on?" I asked, glancing from one tear-streaked face to another.

Drius looked at me, his gaze filled with an unusual mix of sadness and concern.

"It's nothing, Luke," he replied, his voice oddly steady. "Just some family issues. You shouldn't concern yourself."

'Family issues? Is it about the Head of the Family?' His reply did little to assuage my worry, no, it just made me more curious.

'Is he already dead? Ah, if that's the situation, then it's the worst case scenario!'

That would mean Seraphina's Uncle, Eugene, would take control over the Lyma Family, and my rewards wouldn't be guaranteed.

'But how can that be the case? From what Seraphina told me, there should still be considerable time left…'
