Chapter 155: The Loss Of Innocence, Part 21, Heiress

CHARLOTTE

Vincenzo leaves and I sit, trying to make sense of my thoughts. My Master sits by me, holding my hand in his. His voice soft. "What will you do with it? The house?"

"I've no idea. I hadn't got that far."

He left it to me...

Of everyone there...

All the children he taught...

He left it to me...

"Perhaps you should visit before you decide? You can have a look around. Go through the house. Perhaps find something to remember him by..."

"I'd like that, yes. But the people there weren't exactly welcoming the last time I visited."

He hmmms... Stands. Paces. "You could ask Chad to go along too? Maybe clear things up for you."

"Perhaps."

He sits again. Takes my hand again. Kisses the fingers. "I'd like to come too..."

"Of course, Master. I'd assumed you would."

"... You see, among other things, I'd like the chance to meet the original 'Charlotte'..."

Ooohhh... Goddd...

My horse...
