Now dylan and brandon sat down confused in lady Marie's room.They had not said anything,they were all thinking while lady marie sat down applying cream on her face.
"Mother how about we tighten the security again".brandon said.
"That's only a temporary solution in my own opinion because the assassin was able to enter the house even with the security".dylan said.
"You are right dylan,but you know what puzzles me more it's the fact that we can't find the assassin that was shot,with that injury he couldn't have gotten far".brandon said.
"Yes my lord,I am confused we have searched everywhere it's as if he vanished into thin air".dylan said.
"Who could have done this,this is becoming too frequent".brandon said.

Now thaniel sat down with my right leg on his laps. he wanted to change the bandage and check the injury.
"The wound is still very fresh don't stress your leg too much".he said as he removed the bandage.
"I am a worker and I must strain my body". I said.
"this will hurt but just bear it".he said as he cleaned the wound.
"Ouch".I cried.
"Sorry".he said.
"It's not your fault,I need to ask do you know any secret passage".I said.
