After a hearty meal, Dustin took his leave. There was a pile of things he had to attend to after sleeping for two days and one night. Thus, he had to head back quickly to make arrangements.
Before he got into the car, Grace suddenly called out to him. She warned, “Logan, the cards told me last night that you’re not entirely out of danger now. You have to be careful.”
“Rest assured, I know what I’m doing. I’ll get going now,” Dustin replied as he nodded.
His car took off in a haste.
In the car, he called Natasha to assure her of his safety. Then, he proceeded to brief Adam and Scarlet about what had happened.
He told them to prepare the Spanner family for the fight over the throne. Once the fight began, the entire
government would be involved. As one of the ancient houses, it was simply impossible for the Spanner family to stay out of this. After an hour, Dustin was back at the mansion.
Caitlyn was cooking while Cinna and Brooke were doing ink painting.
With his eyes closed, Maximus was meditating.
“Who is it?”
Once Dustin opened the door, Maximus was the first to react. His eyes opened instantly, and he pointed his sword swiftly toward the door.
“It’s me,” Dustin replied, revealing his identity.
“Dustin? You’re finally back!”
Maximus’ eyes lit up as he asked, ”
Where have you been for the past two days? There hasn’t been any news from you!”
“I’ve got something urgent to tend to. That’s why I was two days late,” Dustin answered as he flashed a smile. He couldn’t have said he had been sleeping for two days straight.
“Dustin, I’ve delivered the letter you gave me to West Lucozia.”
“Sure. No need to worry about it.” Dustin was unbothered. Instead, he asked, “Oh yeah, how’s Mr. Shaffer and Dr. Busch?”
“They’re fine. I’ve been extra vigilant for the past two days because I was worried something might happen. Fortunately, everything went well,” Maximus replied.
“Great. Thank you so much,” Dustin remarked while nodding.
“Is Logan back?”
Just then, Cinna and Brooke emerged from the study. They had been home, so they were clueless about what had been going on lately. Thus, they didn’t look too concerned.
“Mr. Shaffer, you look so much better now. You’re healing incredibly quick.”
After careful observation, Dustin realized Cinna’s face was dusted with a healthy shade of pink. His breathing was steady, and he was not any different than a normal person.
“It was all thanks to your medicine. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have recovered quickly.” Cinna chuckled.
He added, “Right, you weren’t here yesterday. The West Lucozian monarchy sent a messenger over to ask about you. Do you want to meet him personally?”
“A messenger from the monarchy? Who is it?” Dustin raised his eyebrows.
“No idea. I haven’t gone back in the last decade, and I bet there weren’t many of my old subordinates left. There must be a lot of fresh faces by now,” Cinna replied.
“Since he came for me, I’ll have to meet him then. Where is this messenger now?”
It seemed like his letter asking for help garnered attention from the monarchy. Thus, a messenger was sent to check up on him.
He found this opportunity to be a blessing as well since he intended to ask about the monarchy.
“I have no idea about his whereabouts. But he gave us his contact before he left. I’ll go ask him now,” Cinna said as he ran back to the room.
Once he got the number, he immediately called and asked.
After a while, he reappeared and said, ” Logan, the messenger said he’ll be waiting for us at the Regal Court by 8: 00 pm tonight.”
“Sure, we’ll head over tonight,” Dustin answered with a nod.
He was very familiar with the place since he had visited it multiple times lately. 1
Time flew. Soon, it was getting dark.
Dustin left at 7:00 pm. Along with Maximus and Cinna, they arrived at the Regal Court within half an hour.
