Seeking out finally…
Took a while before the two resident of the native block C workers regained their composture and able to answer the questions of Libra who have been waiting for their sanity to comeback before speaking
His golden hair and that of Lyra was a spotlight anywhere they went to, making them easily recognisable and identifiable without ever even getting to see them before hand, this was also a cause of danger to them, as the rarity of golden hair in the Red dynasty made it a very valuable item if brought into possession
“Was told some members of this block were on duty this morning, so who was on duty at the field this morning so I can direct my question to him or her”
“Oh yes my lord” one of the resident worker replied Libra, “we were among the worker on duty this morning, we did everything as we were told, all the fields have been ….” Libra cut his short before he went on a never ending story of unwarranted defense “thats not why I am here, hold your peace”
With this, both workers went into a calm state as they were of the assumption that Libra was here on official business, which was something odd because the noble of the mansion does not concern themselves with the activities of the fields as there are managers in charge of the day to day operations of the workers
This also put fear in their body because if a noble had come to complain about a poorly performed job on the field, that makes things a little bit serious than normal
“First of all, why is the workers block so quiet, am of the impression that a large amount of workers live in this native block C, but I don't think so considering the voices I hear not coming from the building” Libra wanted his curiosity satisfied so he doesn't dwell on this weird experience “Or am I of a wrong assumption on the area of the amount of workers residing in this building”
At first the the two workers were confused on the basis of the question Libra had just asked before they rethought it to full awareness “Ohhh…. Yes my lord” one of them said
“You are correct, we are many living here, with the two of us as the officer of the native block C building, why its so quiet in the building right now is because all workers are sleeping right now, except the two of us officers here”
“This is the resting period for the workers of the native block C after the regular morning duty which has made all the workers tired and needing a lot of rest” the other first worker added to his fellow worker answer
“Ok I see” Libra said in satisfaction of what was bothering his mind as arrived the building, his thoughts were in concern after noticing the silence of such a large building
‘Was sir Edmund going bankrupt and couldn't keep the workers of the field on employment, making them leave and the building empty’ his mind had wandered before as he was getting to the building
But now knowing that his assumption was wrong have now put his mind at peace that the business was going alright and they won't fall into bankruptcy and start toiling and wandering in Search of daily bread, tho that's a very unlikely scenario since they were nobles
“Ok Sir, sorry for the quiet environment, hope it did not troubled you”
“Not at all he lied, “Was just finding it odd with no much thought about it” Libra said waving his hand in a sideway movement
“Ok now, back to the reason I came across” he paused for a while, “you said you were among the set of workers who were on morning duty today right?"
“Yes Sir, and all was done to our best of ability” one of the workers replied, still scared of what may transpire in relation to their work on the beginning of the day
"My sister Lyra, did you see her by any means leaving the mansion? ” he finally asked
“Oh….” the taller worker with a bit of a swanky face and beards exclaimed in remembrance, they were finally relieved now they had known the reason for his coming over to the workers building
“Yes Sir, we saw her leave in a bit of a hurry this morning, she was accompanied to the noble's medical man's cart by the road side together with lord Edmund friar”
Libra now baffled, shocked and scared “the medicine man cart???” he asked now concerned as she may have been ill or something, ‘why didn't 'father' tell me’ he thought in his mind
Seeing the worry in Libra face, the worker involuntary spoke as he had been the one that broke the news “but she seemed to be alright Sir, though we have no way of knowing the reason for the medical leave”
With this, Libra left the workers block and head back to the mansion looking sad and concerned, ‘wheres father 'sir Edmund friar’ ' he thought on his way 'he have some explanations to give him, ignoring his enquiries earlier at the mansion
“Hail thee, good friend” Libra heard as he was about to enter into the mansion through the side entrance
Turning to his side to look who was the owner of the sudden voice, slowly realising who it must be by the nature of the yet to be known person use of words
“Ohhh…” a bright smile grew on Libra face as he saw one of his close friends from the Creed trainee's squad
“Draco!!!!” Libra called out with joy, something to take his mind off his worry since morning
“Dear, what a surprise, what are doing here” he asked as he moved away from the door he was about to enter, now moving towards 'Draco of the junior creed' as was famously called by the older creed members
“Been a while, can't I come see my good creed friends” Draco said smiling as they embraced eachother
