The servants who should have been bustling through the manor were missing. The guests who always arrived early had vanished without a trace.

Only the wind moved through the courtyard, making the lanterns sway and whisper as they knocked together.

Sebastian’s fists tightened, knuckles white.

Noelle stepped closer and rested her hand gently over his.

Lucas, so often nonchalant, had gone razor–sharp, his eyes scanning every corner with restless intensity.

“Let’s check inside,” Sebastian said. His voice was deep, taut with a tension he couldn’t hide.

They crossed the empty courtyard and approached the main hall.

The doors were left slightly open.

Sebastian reached out and pushed them aside.

Inside, the scene was chaos.

Chairs and tables lay toppled and broken. Shattered glass and porcelain littered the floor. Crimson silk streamers had been ripped down, crushed beneath countless footsteps.

ng table where the feast should have been stood bare. Only a single birthday candle, snapped in two, had rolled into a lonely

ne silence was suffocating.

Not a single sound, not a single breath.

Noelle’s gaze swept the room, searching–then stopped, fixed on the floor.

There, a few dark red drops stained the tiles.

They formed a trail, leading from the doors deeper into the house.

Her heart seized.

“Sebastian,” she whispered.

He’d seen them too.”

Those stains cut into him like blades.

A memory flashed–a night twenty years ago.

The same darkness. The same silence. The same blood.

“Where’s Theodore?” Lucas’s voice shook. “Where’s Ethan? Where did everyone go?”

No one answered.

Sebastian moved, following the blood deeper into the estate.

Noelle went after him, squeezing his hand tight.

Lucas pulled out his phone and started calling–everyone in the Menzie family, every guest, every number he could think of.

Every call was met with a busy signal.

They reached the far end of the inner courtyard, stopping at Theodore’s room.

The door was half–open.

The trail of blood vanished into the darkness inside.

Sebastian stood there with his hand on the door, unable to move it further.

He was afraid–terrified of finding a scene from twenty years ago waiting on the other side.

Noelle stayed by his side, patient, her grip on his hand only tightening.

“We go together,” she murmured.

Sebastian drew a shaky breath and pushed the door wide.

The room was empty.

No one inside. Not a soul.

Sebastian lingered in the doorway, eyes scanning the room. The bed was neatly made. The curtains were open. The window stood half ajar.

There were no signs of a struggle. No blood, no mess, nothing out of place.

Except for the faint trail of red that stretched from the door to the window and then simply vanished.

Noelle crossed to the window and leaned out.

Beyond, a narrow path led deeper into the gardens. Bamboo lined both sides, the leaves rustling in the wind.

“Look–over there… is that blood?”

Lucas‘ voice stuck in his throat, his face going pale.

Noelle and Sebastian followed his gaze.

Behind a decorative screen, in front of the mirror, a thick, dried pool of dark, red blood stained the floor.

Blood.

So much blood.

Blood.

So much blood.

Sebastian’s body shook as if struck by a whip.

He lurched forward, but his legs felt like stone, nearly buckling beneath him.

Noelle caught him, steadying his weight. “Don’t rush.”

Her voice was calm, but her fingers dug into his arm.

Sebastian said nothing. His eyes blazed, ringed in red, locked on the blood.

Suddenly, frantic footsteps echoed from the hall.

Primo and Duo burst in, faces drawn, breathless.

“Sir!” Primo gasped, “We’ve found out what happened! Someone broke in last night–they took Theodore and Mr. Ethan!”

Sebastian’s head snapped up. “Who?”

Duo’s jaw clenched. “It was them. The same group from twenty years ago–the ones who destroyed the family.”
