Chapter 309: Quiet day (3)
Zephyr arrived at the Blackthorn estate for the first time in his life. He landed just before the gates, where guards pointed weapons at him at first, only to lower them once they realised who was present.
Zephyr walked toward the gates, which were opened for him. He was curious how the guards knew his face so well when he wasn’t one to show his face around the town.
What description of him did Xavier give his guards?
Zephyr took a stroll up to the front doors, getting a good look at the place Selene called home. The one thing that bothered him was the sunlight. If he had time, he would have come at night.
Zephyr went up to the door and knocked two times, then waited for a response.
The door was opened by Harold.
"I am here to see my granddaughter Selene Blackthorn. She is not expecting me, but I didn’t have time to send a notice ahead. I must see her now," said Zephyr.
"Lord and Lady Blackthorn are enjoying a stroll outside. You may sit in a drawing room while I inform them of your presence," Harold said, holding the door open for Zephyr to enter. "Can I offer you something to drink while you wait?"
"Some blood would be wonderful. It is a hot day," Zephyr replied.
Zephyr was curious how Selene dealt with the sun when it was so hot.
Harold led Zephyr to the drawing room. He was surprised but also delighted to see Selene had family visiting. It was a first and hopefully, better than all the visits Nathaniel made.
