In the morning, the family gathered to see the Callahans off. Tobias could no longer convince the Callahans to prolong their return back to the palace. They needed to leave to oversee important matters and once they were settled, the Callahans would return.
"Mother," Elijah leaned forward to be closer to Alessandra. "I want to point out that Penelope and Tyrion are late. We all knew what time we needed to be present."
"They will be here, Elijah. Must you all tattle on each other?" Alessandra asked, shaking her head. "Have you said your goodbyes to Sir Rafael and the others?"
"I have," Elijah said, eyeing the departing family. "No need to overdo it with the goodbyes. The Callahans will be back soon once they speak to the families. What did she do to him?"
Elijah couldn't help looking at Quinn who appeared almost lifeless in the cart he was placed on. His hands and feet were tied up while his face looked as though he had taken a good beating.
